Chapter 25: That Shocked In-Laws
As a professional troll and internet keyboard warrior, this was what Shane Carver was most proud of.
Online, he could hurl insults as much as he wanted. In reality, saying one wrong thing could get him beaten up.
With a sneer, the smug Shane sat down.
“Goodbye.”
BoredTycoon’s comment appeared again.
Goodbye?
Was this guy scared by my attacks and left with his tail between his legs?
Seeing the comment, Shane burst into loud laughter.
“Leaving so soon, not even...” Shane started to speak again.
However, before he could finish, the live stream in front of him suddenly went black.
Then, a line of text appeared:
“Your live stream room has been banned. Ban duration: April 9, 2026 – April 9, 12026!”
From 2026 to 12026 — ten thousand years!
His live stream had been banned for ten thousand years?
What kind of joke was this?
Staring at the computer, Shane was dumbstruck.
How could this be happening?
At that moment, he suddenly understood why BoredTycoon had sent the “goodbye” comment.
It was indeed goodbye.
No — it was farewell forever.
In ten thousand years, he feared not even his ashes would remain!
Just as Shane thought it was all over, a message came through to his streaming backend.
“Your live stream has violated regulations. Earnings will be halted, and past wages will be reclaimed.”
“What?”
Seeing this, Shane jumped up, his hair standing on end!
“Are you kidding me!”
Shane yelled furiously!
What he said earlier — about taking advantage of BoredTycoon’s popularity to earn hundreds of thousands — happened this month. The month’s end hadn’t even arrived, and the earnings hadn’t been paid out to him yet.
Not only wouldn’t it be paid, but his previous income would also be reclaimed?
“Bastard! Bastard!”
Shane stomped his feet in anger, his entire body shaking.
Beep beep!
Shane’s phone rang again. He checked it.
“Legal Notice: Mr. Shane Carver, this law firm ... you violated ‘Certain Laws’ by defaming others or fabricating facts to defame others...”
Staring at the legal notice issued by Lumina Live, Shane was utterly shocked.
He knew that this time he was in real trouble — big trouble!
Perhaps he might end up in prison for a few years.
“No...”
Shane’s legs buckled, and he collapsed to the floor in fright!
Ethan didn’t care about this internet troll, Shane Carver. He trusted that Lumina Live would handle it to his satisfaction.
“Ethan, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault...”
Ethan received a message from Chloe on WeChat.
“It’s okay. Just focus on streaming. Your chat room won’t have any trolls from now on.”
After this incident, Chloe’s streaming room would receive special attention from Lumina Live, not giving any trolls a chance to speak.
In the evening, Victoria Lang came to Ethan’s villa.
“My parents called. They’ll be here tomorrow.”
Victoria said.
“I understand.”
Ethan nodded. The two had already agreed to pretend to be a couple.
They just didn’t expect Victoria’s parents to arrive so soon.
“My dad has been obsessed with chemical research all his life. He has a bit of an eccentric temper, please bear with him.”
Victoria said apologetically.
“A researcher? My future father-in-law is impressive indeed.”
Ethan had successfully gotten into “character,” nodding as he spoke.
“I got it. No problem.”
After chatting a little more, Victoria finally left.
“Time to sleep. Need to be well-rested to deal with the legendary in-laws.”
Ethan went to bed early.
The next day, when Ethan woke up, a voice from the System immediately appeared.
[Ding!]
[Punch-in quest. Would you like to punch in?]
Another punch-in task?
Ethan’s eyes lit up, and he instantly clicked yes.
[Punch-in successful!]
[Congratulations on obtaining all chemical elements (excluding radioactive elements).]
“Huh?”
Seeing the punch-in reward, Ethan was stunned.
The System knew he had to deal with a chemistry-obsessed father-in-law today, so it gave him this.
But what kind of reward was “all chemical elements”?
Ethan was utterly puzzled, but when he walked into the living room, he was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, there was a huge cabinet in Ethan’s living room, taking up an entire wall.
The cabinet was divided into countless small sections, containing every kind of chemical element.
“Is this arranged according to the periodic table of elements, collecting all the chemical elements!”
Staring at the massive cabinet, Ethan exclaimed in disbelief.
This was incredible!
The System was mighty!
Ethan couldn’t help but admire it.
Collecting all the chemical elements according to the periodic table — this was terrifying.
In school, memorizing that periodic table was a nightmare.
If there had been a cabinet like this, memorizing by looking at the real elements would have been so easy.
Ethan curiously approached the cabinet.
Inside the cabinet, excluding the radioactive elements, all other elements lay quietly, neatly arranged according to the periodic table.
According to the System’s introduction, the various elements inside were nearly 100% pure.
The higher the purity, the higher the price!
Aside from the well-known gold and silver, for instance, element 45, rhodium, costs over two million per kilogram.
The most expensive, element 98, californium, costs two billion per gram.
Yes, you read that right — per gram, not per kilogram!
And these elements weren’t something money could easily buy.
Aside from the elements themselves, even the cabinet preserving these elements was priceless.
It’s worth noting that many elements are very hard to preserve, yet they rested quietly in the cabinet now.
Ethan estimated that this cabinet of chemical elements should be worth several hundred million.
“The System is really thoughtful.”
Ethan was filled with emotion.
Just yesterday, he was wondering what he should give as a gift for the first meeting.
Not expecting the System to provide such a perfect gift today.
For someone who had spent a lifetime in chemical research, seeing all the chemical elements in person was undoubtedly an unforgettable experience!
This was far better than gifting any old antiques or luxury items!
“This is quite a small gift.”
Ethan nodded.
After breakfast, Ethan went to Victoria’s house and, together, they headed to the airport.
At 10 a.m., Victoria’s parents’ flight arrived.
“Mom, Dad.”
Seeing her parents, Victoria waved excitedly.
Ethan looked in the direction Victoria was waving and saw a couple in their sixties approaching.
Victoria’s father wore thick glasses, fitting the image of an old scholar.
Victoria’s mother was well-maintained, a sophisticated lady.
As she met her parents, Victoria prepared to introduce Ethan:
“Mom, Dad, this is my...”
However, before Victoria could finish, a young man, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding gentility, suddenly appeared from behind.
“Hello, Uncle and Auntie. I’m Harrison Bowen, a friend of Victoria’s.”
Harrison said, stepping forward before Ethan could, speaking to Victoria’s parents.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Harrison, Victoria’s expression turned cold.
In an instant, Ethan understood. This Harrison was probably another boring suitor of Victoria’s.
“For our first meeting, I prepared a small gift for you, Uncle and Auntie.”
