Li Lechen didn't respond. He had gone through all this trouble just to get Liu Yu out of the way. He was definitely not going to go to the classroom with him!

So, taking advantage of Liu Yu closing the door and going into the bathroom, Li Lechen picked up the cherry tomatoes and tried to slip away.

On Liu Yu's desk lay his clothes, which he had just taken off. A large stain of orange juice had been spilled on the clothes, and after a few minutes, it had spread and turned into a strange gradient.

Although he only glanced at it, Li Lechen felt that something was wrong.

Li Lechen had indeed been spilled a beverage in the restaurant cafeteria, and the culprit was Liu Yu. However, back then it was a one-yuan cup of mixed fruit juice, while now it was a fifteen-yuan cup of freshly squeezed orange juice.

But if I remember correctly, since the main ingredients in fruit juice powder are pigments, fragrances, and water, if it gets on clothes, the pigments will leave irregular stains as the water evaporates.

Is this how freshly squeezed juice is too?

Or is it...?

Li Lechen then went back and took the simple juicer he had bought for fifty yuan yesterday from his desk.

To tell whether it's freshly squeezed or not, just compare it with real freshly squeezed juice.

Liu Yu was still rinsing when Li Lechen quietly left the dormitory with a bag of hidden cherry tomatoes and a simple juicer.

I passed by a convenience store and bought a pound of oranges on the way.

I will no longer go to the classroom because the things I'm about to do are quite extensive, and the classroom is no longer a safe place.

They couldn't do it in the dark in the woods, because they could easily be caught by Cao Wenming, the director of the Political Education Department, who had been in a bad mood these past few days.

After much thought, the integrated laboratory is a good place.

One has to admire how quickly Mr. Liu's fresh orange juice machines were installed. They weren't there in the afternoon, but by evening, they were even on the lab building. There was one right outside the main laboratory.

The general laboratory is open to the public in the evening, but apart from a few top students in the honors class, no one would come to the laboratory at this time.

So the laboratory was quite empty at the moment, with only a thin boy in the corner observing the microscope and taking notes.

Li Lechen vaguely remembered him; he was definitely from the top class. However, since they had only spent half a day together, he didn't know his name at all.

Since that's the case, I won't disturb their diligent observation.

So Li Lechen also chose a corner, and even found a bunch of reagents to put in front of him as cover.

Open the live stream and enter the store.

“Dear ‘Wind Chaser,’ you mentioned last time that you wanted to buy cleaning products. I’ve found a new product that might be suitable for you.” The sales assistant immediately jumped out again.

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

Although Li Lechen planned to head straight to Lai Haoren's personal shop to buy a satiety pill and receive a free super-powerful food purifier, he wasn't opposed to learning about more fun things.

The sales assistant then enthusiastically introduced the product: "This product is made by a smart company and is called 'Mind Cleanser,' which is similar to what you call a cleaning agent."

"Soul cleanser? What's that?"

"More than 400 doses of the Mind Cleanser have been sold so far. According to the instructions and feedback, taking the Mind Cleanser can lead to a spiritual uplift in a short period of time, and then fill one with hope for life."

"......"

Li Lechen was speechless. What did he want this thing for? Wasn't it just the legendary chicken soup for the soul? Maybe even toxic chicken soup.

"But it really works! After all, everyone has moments of low spirits. When you're down, you might lose faith in life. In mild cases, it can lead to anorexia and depression, and in severe cases, it can lead to suicide." The salesperson continued to recommend, "But once you take the 'mind cleanser,' all the gloom will be swept away, and you won't have any more suicidal thoughts."

"We don't need this right now, give it to me instead..."

"Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future, and just because you won't need it in the future doesn't mean you'll never need it. You can't know what will happen in the next minute. Even if you're optimistic, you might encounter a hurdle you can't overcome. Even if you don't encounter a hurdle yourself, your friends might." The sales assistant interrupted Li Lechen and continued to recommend the product with all her might. "Besides, this product is currently on special offer for new products. You might not be able to buy it later even if you have the money."

"But right now I just want to go into a private shop that can 'get it done in one go' and buy some filling pills."

"Are you sure you don't want to buy this 'spiritual cleanser'? Such a good product is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I know this might be interesting, but I really don't need it for now."

"Then please make yourself at home."

"......"

Li Lechen knew he'd been caught in a trap. He couldn't search for private shops on his own; he always had to follow the sales assistants. Apparently, he couldn't proceed without buying some "spiritual cleansing agent."

"Hmm~~~" the sales assistant uttered an interjection.

This thing is practically a demon!

However, Li Lechen could only compromise: "Then give me one of this 'soul cleanser'."

"Just one? This is such a useful product, shouldn't you get a whole case?"

"...Then let's have a case."

"Okay! Deducting your Sunshine Coins, a box of Mind Cleanser is now in your personal inventory. Would you like to purchase anything else?"

"One hundred thousand?!"

Li Lechen was shocked. He had always thought these things should be very cheap, at most one hundred or five hundred coins per item, and a box of twelve or so would cost at most a few thousand, not tens of thousands.

But what's the deal with a box costing 100,000?
