Chapter 59: Humanity’s No. 1 Most Lethal Weapon
Chapter 59 – Humanity’s No. 1 Most Lethal Weapon
The next day, Monday, 7:50 A.M.:
Chen Yu dropped off his three younger sisters at school like always.
Today, however, he made a slight change to their route. First, he dropped off Chen Yike. Then, he dropped off Chen Sanke. Finally, he dropped off Chen Erke.
“Second Eldest, here’s your schoolbag.”
“Mhm.”
After timidly receiving her schoolbag, Chen Erke quickly turned around and ran off as if she was fleeing a gangster. However, before she could get far, Chen Yu had grabbed her shoulders and stopped her in place.
“Second Eldest, don’t go first. I have some things I need to explain to you,” Chen Yu said as he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. “About that paper from yesterday…”
“Big Brother, you don’t need to say anything.” Turning around to look at Chen Yu, Chen Erke said earnestly, “Even if you’re a pervert, you are still my big brother! I will always love you!”
“…” Chen Yu’s face crumpled when he heard Chen Erke’s words. “Are you directly sentencing me to death?”
“I won’t tell Daddy, Mommy, Big Sis, and Little Sis, so you can rest a.s.sured.”
“Wa-Wait, the situation isn’t what you think—”
“This will be our little secret.”
“I—”
“Love you! Muah!”
“…”
Chen Erke then ran away without hesitation, her running speed surpa.s.sing even Chen Yu’s when he was wearing the Microkinetic Basketball Shoes.
…
At the same time, a tense meeting was taking place inside a hotel suite in Jinzhou City.
“It’s not yet time for Transdimensional Review to release a new video. Let’s use this opportunity to verify our plans and actions,” said the sole female in the group of five inside the meeting room while holding a folder of doc.u.ments. “Because our actions this time are confidential, we have not received much support from the police and local government. As a result, our information is somewhat meager. Even so, we have already narrowed down our target to three suspects in Sixth High.”
She flipped open the folder and read aloud, “First suspect: f.u.kuoka Hidari. Year 3, Cla.s.s 4. He returned from j.a.pan with his birth mother. Speaks fluent Chinese, and his physique is similar to the UP’s in the video. His father once worked in a sensitive department at a nuclear power plant. He is worthy of suspicion.”
“Mhm.” The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the meeting table nodded. After writing in his notebook, he said, “Continue.”
“Second suspect: Qin Shousheng. Year 2, Cla.s.s 1. Similarly possesses a physique matching the video’s UP’s. Loves Peking Opera, and his specialty is his linguistic ability. During Sixth High’s entrance ceremony this year, he performed a face-changing act and imitated the speech of celebrities. One of the masks he used is exactly the same as the one Transdimensional Review’s UP uses in his videos. He is similarly worthy of suspicion.
“Third suspect: Chen Yu. Year 2, Cla.s.s 2. His physique is extremely similar to the video’s UP. Half a month ago, it was suddenly discovered that he possesses a talent for sports. During the monthly examination held last week, his grades had even crawled up from the bottom of his cla.s.s to second place in the entire cla.s.s.”
At this point, a young man suddenly interrupted the woman, saying, “Big Sis Wu, let’s not bring up Sixth High’s academic performance. Even someone with a little more than 300 points can rank first in a cla.s.s. There’s hardly any difference between first place and last place. Any student that bothers to study can easily push their rank up by 20 or 30 positions.”
After hearing the young man’s comment, the woman fell silent for a moment before nodding and saying, “I guess you’re right. Let’s cross out this factor, then. Continuing on, according to our understanding, Chen Yu is a very loyal user of Bilibili’s platform. He has also once expressed his intention to become a UP on Bilibili to his cla.s.smates. Recently, he has started skipping cla.s.ses and school and displayed many abnormal behaviors. He is very worthy of suspicion.”
“Mhm.” Taking over the discussion, the middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice, “Chen Yu is highly suspicious. Xiao Li, make the necessary arrangements. We’ll pay Chen Yu’s house a visit tonight to see if there are any clues.”
“Alright,” answered the young man who interrupted the woman before, nodding. “It really is difficult to conduct this operation with just the five of us. If we could get the help of the police and local government, we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble and would’ve long since searched the entire Sixth High already.”
“These are the higher-ups’ orders. Why do you have so many complaints?” the middle-aged man remarked in dissatisfaction. “Our current goal is no longer to capture a criminal suspected of using radioactive materials but to locate this mysterious UP. We naturally cannot create more problems for ourselves.”
“That’s right.” The woman nodded in agreement from beside the middle-aged man. “The higher-ups are placing great importance on this matter. They have already established three task forces to a.n.a.lyze Transdimensional Review’s video content and UP. We must conduct our operation as conservatively as possible. Moreover, reinforcements from Beijing will arrive soon. Just put up with the ha.s.sle for a little while longer, Xiao Li.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Standing up and stretching his body, the young man addressed as Xiao Li said, “I’m just a brick. I’ll move to wherever I’m needed.”
“Nice enlightenment!”
Aside from the bespectacled man sitting in a corner, who remained silent, the other three people in the room chuckled and raised their thumbs at Xiao Li.
“We’re heading to Chen Yu’s house tonight! Everyone, go get ready!”
“Understood!”
…
In the meantime, Chen Yu, who was wholly ignorant of the investigation team looking into him, walked toward Sixth High like a zombie. Even after entering his cla.s.sroom and taking his seat, he remained spiritless.
Turning around in his seat, Li Liang raised his hand and greeted Chen Yu, “Morning, Brother Chen.”
“Morning.”
“Brother Chen, you frequent Bilibili, right? Did you see the latest up-and-coming UP?”
“Up-and-coming UP?” Chen Yu snapped out of his daze when he heard these words.
“That’s right! The guy easily broke past a million subscribers! Amazing, right?!” Li Liang boasted, his words making it seem as if the UP in question was his son.
“I know.” Satisfaction immediately filled Chen Yu’s heart at Li Liang’s words. Revealing a mysterious smile, he continued, “It’s that Transdimensional Review, right?”
“Huh? Who’s that?”
Stunned, Chen Yu asked, “Who are you talking about, then?”
“I’m talking about Zhu Yidan!”
Chen Yu: “…”
“What’s this Transdimensional Review?” Scratching his bald head, Li Liang said, “Just hearing the name makes me think the UP is a loon.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“You don’t know just how funny Zhu Yidan’s videos are. Uncultured! You’re too uncultured!”
“Scram,” Chen Yu said as he pulled out the table leg from his desk compartment.
“Affirmative.”
Following which, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was already 9 A.M.
Despite the mathematics teacher enthusiastically teaching at the front of the cla.s.s, Chen Yu paid no attention to the lesson at all, pulling out his phone and putting on his earphones. He then opened Bilibili’s app and started fervently scrolling through the technology section.
Very quickly, he located the video t.i.tled “Transdimensional Review! Humanity’s No. 1 Most Lethal Weapon!”
Tapping into the video, he noticed that, in just two short minutes since the video went live, the statistics displayed below the video had skyrocketed already!

…
Over 120,000 views!
It was obvious that many subscribers had been sitting before their computers or phones, waiting for the video to go live at 9 A.M.
My subscriber loyalty is probably number one in the entire platform, right?
Revealing a delighted smile, Chen Yu refreshed the video page.
Sure enough, the view count had skyrocketed once more!
170,072!
Amazing! Who cares about some comedian named Yidan? I’m a technology broadcaster. Can he even compare with me?
After satisfying his “frustrated” pride, Chen Yu tapped on the play b.u.t.ton and started the video.
A second later, the black screen gradually turned white.
At the same time, a tide of bullet comments started flowing across the screen from right to left.
[First!]
[Which one of my sons are you people?]
[First!]
[First!]
[Twenty-eighth!]
[Second…]
[Finally, an update!]
[Isn’t humanity’s most lethal weapon the keyboard?]
[Those watching this video during cla.s.s, please raise your hand!]
[+1]
[+2]
After the tide of bullet comments came to an end, Chen Yu’s masked face appeared on the screen. “Greetings, my fellow viewers! This is Transdimensional Review’s fourth episode…”
