Chapter 119 – Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (3)
Nighttime, in the brightly lit Beijing City…
A wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air on the rooftop of Xiaomi Science and Technology Park’s No. 5 Office Building.
Subsequently, a man and a woman walked out of this door. The duo was strangely dressed and wore masks to cover their faces.
These two people were none other than Chen Yu and Little Peach.
“This place truly is one of mankind’s largest cities…”
As Chen Yu gazed down condescendingly from the top of the building, the gleaming neon lights found all around the city seemingly tried to blind his country bumpkin eyes.
Turning to Little Peach, he pointed at his surroundings and asked, “Little Peach, what do you think? This is the product of human creativity.”
“If it’s only to this extent, even I can do it.”
“Fine, fine, fine. You can do anything. Now, can you please change the portal’s appearance into a metal arch?”
“Sure.”
Walking back to the portal, Little Peach changed the portal’s appearance into a five-meter-tall and three-meter-wide metal arch.
“Mr. Chen, won’t we get discovered by other people if we are so conspicuous?”
“Definitely, but it doesn’t matter.” Chen Yu shrugged. “This livestream will be a very short one. We’ll leave as soon as we’re done with the review. If any abnormalities occur, we’ll just turn off the livestream and leave.”
“Why not just head to a deserted location?”
Reviewing a smartphone doesn’t require much space, and it is more meaningful to livestream at the ‘doorstep’ of the phone’s manufacturer. Moreover, I’m prepared to add even more tricks to my future livestreams. I might even make some minor adjustments to my livestreaming method to raise the program’s promotional effects. Otherwise, the audience will eventually get bored by the show’s repetitiveness.”
“Oh, I see,” Little Peach said as she put on an expression of realization. In reality, though, she did not understand a thing Chen Yu had said.
Following this, time passed by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the numbers displayed on Chen Yu’s watch jumped to 9:00.
“I’m starting the livestream. Little Peach, keep watch of our surroundings. If you find any drones secretly filming us, strike them down,” Chen Yu said as he passed the High-frequency Lightsaber to Little Peach. “Remember: You must only strike the drones! Don’t bring down the building as well!”
“Please rest assured, Mr. Chen. I am both cautious and meticulous.”
Chen Yu: “…”
After silently pondering, Chen Yu snatched back the lightsaber and said, “Forget it. Just obediently stand at the back. I don’t need you to take action. Just tell me if someone’s secretly filming us.”
“Mr. Chen, you’re not confident in my abilities?”
“Why did you add a question mark to that sentence?”
“…”
“Let’s stop talking. It’s 9:01 already. Stand behind me. I’m starting the livestream now.”

[It’s livestream time!]
[UP, will you be updating daily from now on?]
[I’ve donated already. Please start your performance.]
[Host, are you livestreaming in a city today?]
[The female assistant’s legs really are…]
[The idiot at the front, can you stand aside and give the girl some space?]
[This place looks so familiar.]
[UP, for you, I specifically took three connecting flights and flew to Sacramento, yet you…]
“Greetings, fellow friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. Thank you for camping before your screens and waiting for tonight’s livestream.” Pointing at the sky, Chen Yu said, “As you can see, the sky is dark. I am indeed still within the country. Moreover, I am in a place everyone is very familiar with, and that is Beijing.”
After saying so, Chen Yu adjusted the camera and had it capture the night view of Beijing City. “As for the reason why I’ve chosen this place, it is because our product today originates from a company based in Beijing.
“Meanwhile, my current location is none other than the rooftop of said company’s main headquarters.”
[What? Which awesome company managed to get themselves featured?]
[UP, aren’t you reviewing products from the future?]
[Are you finally selling out?]
[Maybe it’s a future product of this company.]
[Are you done talking?]
[Are you done talking? +1]
[Additional livestreams are boring! I want to watch an official livestream! I want to see mind-blowing technology!]
[Official livestreams are once a month. Wait patiently.]
Amidst the barrage of bullet comments, Chen Yu continued his opening remarks.
“Today’s review product is this thing in my hands. To enjoy it with everyone, similar to yesterday’s product, I have yet to unbox this product.
“And as a professional product reviewer that has always prioritized quality content, we naturally have to go straight into the topic. Now, let’s begin the review’s first segment–unboxing! Let us witness a product’s most glorious moment.”
After saying so, Chen Yu removed the box’s seal without hesitation. Under the gazes of nearly 300,000 people, he removed the box’s lid and slowly pulled out a smartphone box from within.
“Can you see it? This is our review product for today.” Tossing away the delivery box, Chen Yu displayed the smartphone box before the camera. “That’s right. As you can see, this is a mobile phone. To be precise, it is a smartphone that comes from three years later.
“Meanwhile, this smartphone’s brand is…”
Letting his words trail off, Chen Yu slowly rotated the box forward, gradually revealing the top’s logo.
…
At the same time…
Below the rooftop where Chen Yu was hosting his livestream on, Lei Jun[1] and three of his senior executives were currently seated inside a meeting room and watching Transdimensional Review’s livestream through Bilibili.
As a member of the electronics industry, similar to Bilibili’s CEO, Lei Jun was among one of the earliest groups of people to find out about Transdimensional Review’s peculiarities.
Whether it was for analysis purposes, broadening his horizons, uncovering new technology, or simply to satisfy his curiosity, he would not miss even a single episode of Transdimensional Review’s program.
In fact, when he found a particular future product he liked, he would even hold a small meeting with the technical department to discuss the product’s usability, researchability, technological principals, and market prospects.
For ordinary people, Chen Yu’s videos and livestreams only served as a form of entertainment.
However, for members of the technology industry, and even core academic circles, Chen Yu’s reviews dictated humanity’s future technology, culture, and development!
This was a rare opportunity for the entire human race to peak on the progress of future civilization.
This was also one of the reasons why the various nations’ governments were still maintaining a “cautious,” “balanced,” and “conservative” attitude toward Transdimensional Review.
“Which lucky company is it? To actually get selected by this UP,” one of the middle-aged executives seated beside Lei Jun said, clicking his tongue. “Their stock price is going to hit the fluctuation limit.”
“It might not necessarily be good luck,” Lei Jun said, shaking his head. After taking a look at his watch, he then looked at his timetable and said, “They’ll meet plenty of troubles as well.”
“Chief Lei, something feels wrong,” the technical director seated at a corner of the room said, frowning. “The scenery displayed behind the UP just now looks somewhat familiar.”
Upon hearing the technical director’s words, the other three people in the room became stunned. Subconsciously, they turned to look outside the window.
Immediately, the brightly lit night scene shown in Transdimensional Review’s livestream gradually overlapped with the scene before their eyes…
“I-It can’t be…right?” Sweat instantly oozed out of the middle-aged executive’s forehead.
“…” Lei Jun subconsciously narrowed his eyes and immediately focused on the projector screen.
For a moment, the spacious meeting room became so quiet that one could even hear a needle dropping.
Now, only the sounds of stifled breathing could be heard.
In the next moment, displayed on the screen, Transdimensional Review’s mysterious UP could be seen rotating the smartphone box’s top to the camera.
Meanwhile, the logo printed on the box also became visible for all to see.
MI…
In the next moment, all four people in the room raised their heads and looked at the ceiling above them…
