"Why?" Li Lechen asked.

"Actually, Fang Heng's 'Testing Spirit' is somewhat similar to the 'Super Food Purifier' that I invented back then. It's just that his is simpler. It can only detect problems, but it can't achieve the effect of purification."

"That's right! It's this 'Super Food Purifier'!" Li Lechen exclaimed excitedly, "So you really invented this machine!"

Li Lechen's sudden agitation startled Lai Haoren: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm sorry, I got too excited," Li Lechen apologized. "Since this machine is no longer sold in the store, I wanted to ask if you still had any?"

What do you need this machine for?

"Of course, it's about removing harmful substances from the food."

"Are there harmful substances on the food in the exclusive area?"

Because Lai Haoren used the word "also," Li Lechen immediately guessed what the problem was, so he slowed down the pace of the conversation and said, "Don't think too highly of the exclusive zone. It's just that the environmental pollution level here is not that high, and the sunlight is relatively mild. Actually, it's not much better than the safe zone."

"Don't mention those three words! They're the three nouns at the end of your sentence, representing the three nouns on our side!"

"......"

Li Lechen almost blurted out "safe zone," but he immediately held back.

"Many people don't know how they broke the rules, whether in a live stream or a one-on-one video chat, they can suddenly be muted, or even get into serious trouble because of it."

Because Li Lechen stopped in time and did not repeat the words "safe zone", Lai Haoren knew that he probably understood, so he continued to explain: "It's not that these three words can't be said, but if some sensitive words appear, the live streaming platform will be alerted to conduct a text analysis. Once the analysis finds that there is something non-compliant, the emergency plan will be activated, the most direct thing is to ban the person from speaking."

"It's pretty scary."

"But there's nothing wrong with what you just said, it's always good to avoid trouble. Let me continue with Fang Heng's matter."

"How about we talk about your super-powerful food purifier first? I really need one right now. No matter the price, just sell me one. I only need one."

Li Lechen interrupted.

"Let me tell you about Fang Heng first, and then you'll understand why my super-powerful food purifier was forcibly taken off the shelves."

It has to be said that capable people tend to be more subjective, and Li Lechen clearly sensed this after the conversation.

Of course, if everyone just follows the crowd, it's impossible to forge your own unique path, and you'll be further away from success. After all, only a few succeed, and it's destined that only those who don't take the conventional path can achieve it.

Since Lai Haoren said that Fang Heng's matter is related to the super food purifier, let's listen to it.

Anyway, a pound of cherry tomatoes can't be eaten in a minute or two, so Li Lechen found a seat in the corridor next to the entrance of the teaching building.

"Fang Heng was expelled back to the contaminated area this time because he was reported for selling 'Testing Spirit' products with inaccurate test results, which infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of others."

After a pause, and since Li Lechen wasn't pressing him for answers, Lai Haoren had no choice but to continue, "You don't actually think it's Ouyang Feng, do you? He's obviously too busy to deal with his own problems right now, so the person targeting Fang Heng must have a much bigger background. With your current financial situation, it's hard for you to compete with him."

"And then what? What does this have to do with the super-powerful food purifier?"

“My father lost his permanent resident status in the safe zone because of the super food purification machine and was directly deported to the quarantine zone.”

"......"

So much information!

This guy even has a father!

"You'll probably find it surprising that I have a father, let alone that I was once a permanent resident of the safe zone," Lai Haoren sighed. "Of course, this also shows the power of the super food purifier and just how much influence its existence has on several large conglomerates. Back in the day..."

"Can I interrupt for a moment?"

Because Lai Haoren started reminiscing about the old days, Li Lechen felt that this story might go on and on. It wasn't that he wasn't curious about Lai Haoren's so-called father, a permanent resident of the safe zone, but rather that Li Lechen was more concerned with practical matters. Moreover, he worried that if they talked for too long, they would be abruptly cut off, and he wouldn't get what he needed, and he would only have heard half the story.

"Then you tell me."

Lai Haoren compromised a bit because he also needed to adjust his emotions to talk about this past event.

“I know your super-powerful food purifier is very effective; otherwise, your father wouldn’t have suffered such a disaster,” Li Lechen said, offering a compliment. “So this machine is also very useful to me.”

"Are the private areas as chaotic as ours?"

“I don’t know how chaotic it is where you are, but here, apart from the environment being okay, everything else is not so good. Of course, I can also tell you directly what I need this machine for: to clean our fruits, vegetables, and food to meet the hygiene requirements for individual shops.”

"You were indeed punished because of that plastic bottle incident. I really wanted to tell you that back then," Lai Haoren sighed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention at the time, or rather, I didn't take it seriously at all."

"I was the first person to buy your Class I water, and I found it strange at the time because the bottles you used to hold the water didn't decompose naturally at all. Then I guessed that someone with ulterior motives would definitely make a fuss about this. What's more, you later used those cheap plastic cups to hold the juice."

"Most food companies here use this kind of packaging in order to save costs."

"As expected, the richer they are, the greedier they become. Biodegradable packaging materials are already very cheap, yet they still try to cut corners. Don't those companies know how harmful their raw materials are to the environment?"

"......"

Li Lechen remained silent.

Who knows?

Given current technology, biodegradable or even rapidly biodegradable packaging materials must be very expensive. A bottle of water only costs one dollar, but it goes through at least three middlemen who take a cut, so you can imagine the ex-factory price, not to mention the cost price.

However, Lai Haoren did not dwell on this point and quickly returned to the main topic: "Actually, I have been using the super food purifier myself. It is the culmination of my father's life's work. Although it cannot benefit all mankind, at least I will not let it be lost."

"Then I..."

"I can give you one for free. However..."

"Don't worry, I won't let it appear in my live stream."

"Thanks."

"Then what should I do...?"

"Go to the mall and buy a satiety pill later, and I will give you a hidden mystery gift. This gift is..."

"Um!"
