"Unless what?"

"Unless you have permanent residency in the safe zone."

Li Lechen was immediately speechless: "Why should I, someone from an exclusive zone, have permanent residency in the safe zone? Is the safe zone any better than our place?"

But Huo Jiujian seemed to have suddenly discovered a brilliant method and excitedly said, "That's right, Ouyang Feng is definitely out of the question now. There's an additional permanent residency qualification in the safe zone. As long as your personal assets rank among the top 10,000 in the world during the population census, you have a good chance of becoming a permanent resident of the safe zone."

“But I’m perfectly fine here and have absolutely no desire to immigrate to the safe zone,” Li Lechen emphasized again.

“No need for immigration!” Huo Jiujian was still excited about his idea. “Even if you want, living in the contaminated zone is fine. Permanent residency in the safe zone is just a qualification, which means you have the highest authority and can do whatever you want.”

"You can do anything?"

"That's right, you can do anything. The highest level of authority, the fewest restrictions, including the fact that there will be no review of what you want to sell."

Isn't this a case of opposing Marxism-Leninism to others while advocating liberalism to oneself? Li Lechen thought to himself.

However, it must be admitted that having this kind of authority to do anything is wonderful, even for Li Lechen, who doesn't have many restrictions these days.

"Then I should..."

"Make money, make as much money as you can. You have the resources, I have the channels. If we join forces, we can soon become the richest people on this planet."

"......"

No matter how you look at it, Huo Jiujian is still after money.

But isn't it easier to get along with someone who simply likes money than someone with ulterior motives?

Therefore, Li Lechen agreed to give Huo Jiujian's suggestion a serious consideration and to make his account balance reach 5 billion yuan before the large-scale population screening that was less than half a month away.

With 5 billion, you'd basically have an absolute advantage in competing for permanent residency in the safe zone.

However, there seems to be a formidable competitor...

Li Lechen also thought of Lai Haoren.

More importantly, how did Lai Haoren pass the annual physical examination? Logically, he should be the one who is actually being examined. It can be said that people all over the world are undergoing annual physical examinations because of him. The question is, why is he always fine?

If Lai Haoren was so unknown that he managed to avoid it, that would be one thing. The problem is that he wasn't entirely without fame. The products produced by the "One-Stop Solution" company, while not household names, were used by quite a few people, and he himself made no attempt to deliberately hide his identity.

Before confirming a better approach, Li Lechen really needs to think carefully before engaging in deeper cooperation with Huo Jiujian.

However, none of this prevents him from making more money.

I promptly started the live stream.

Wow! The streamer has started broadcasting!

[After waiting for so long, I finally got a chance to speak.]

[The host is awesome!]

Follow the livestreamer and you'll be counting money until your hands cramp!

Li Lechen deliberately stood up, poured himself another glass of water from the water dispenser, and then leisurely sipped it.

Live streams always need to offer some perks. Li Lechen hadn't forgotten how scarce water resources would be two thousand years later; just a few days ago, he bought a bottle of mineral water for one million yuan.

[Is the water the host is drinking the same type? Is it sweet?]

[Is the person upstairs stupid? Type I water is the cleanest water, so naturally it has no taste. How could it be sweet?]

I think one type of water is sweet. Didn't the book "Ten Trillion Whys" say that one type of water is sweet and refreshing? The word "sweet" implies sweetness, so one type of water is sweet.

I can guarantee that this type of water has absolutely no taste.

[The person upstairs is acting like they've drunk the highest quality water. Are you eight hundred years old or something?]

It feels like another rich player in the safe zone is using a smurf account to mess with us.

Class III water is definitely tasteless; we don't know about Class I water.

[Envious of the tycoons who can afford a bottle of Class III water costing 500,000 yuan]

I can also confirm that Class III water has no taste at all, and Class I water probably won't have any taste either.

Wow, so many experts! They're all so talented, it's making my eyes water.

[Just a quick ad: selling large-sized water purification tablets, 100 coins each. One tablet can turn Class V water into Class III water.]

【！！！】

Why are there three exclamation marks upstairs?

One hundred coins is too expensive; now you can buy a large-sized water purification pill for eighty coins.

I envy you guys who can afford Class V water and water purification pills.

[Just passing by, I can't afford Class V water either]

[It's not like we have to pay for recycled water, so why insist on drinking natural water?]

Natural water is definitely better than recycled water; there's no question about that.

Both are for quenching thirst, so what's the difference?

The difference between one that charges money and one that doesn't.

The difference between one that is poisonous and one that is not.

[Haha, the person upstairs is probably still haunted by the memory of those detoxification companies, isn't he?]

[But seriously, that Ouyang madman is truly insane. He's capable of poisoning food; what do he take us for?]

What happened to the promised world harmony? Why did such a heinous incident occur? Was it all hidden too well?

[A 7D printing pen with two refills, I have no idea what that crazy Ouyang was thinking]

[Why is the mass population screening still more than ten days away? The sooner we start the screening, the sooner we can remove that crazy Ouyang from the list of people eligible for permanent residency in the safe zone.]

I can't wait to replicate the 7D printing pen. When the pen leads are made, neither of them is toxic, so it's safe to use it however you want.

Wouldn't it be better to just make a pen refill directly?

Anyway, as long as Ouyang the Madman loses his permanent residency in the safe zone, it doesn't matter what he does with the 7D printing pen.

[Just a quick ad: selling large-sized water purification tablets, 100 coins each. One tablet can turn Class V water into Class III water.]

Why are they advertising water purification pills again? There are just too many water purification pills out there now.

[Just wondering, are your water purification pills made with a 7D printer? I missed out on the streamers' money-making opportunities before, and I'm thinking of making some water purification pills to earn some money.]

[The above requires a previous version of the 7D printing pen.]

Making water purification pills isn't very profitable anymore. Only a limited number of people can afford to drink Class V water, so the demand for water purification pills is also limited.

However, 500 yuan a bottle of Class V water is indeed a bit expensive. Drinking one bottle a day is fine, but if you only drink natural water, you'll still go bankrupt.

[You can't think like that! 500 coins for a bottle of Class V water plus 100 coins for a water purification pill equals 500,000 coins for a bottle of Class III water. You're getting water worth 500,000 coins for only 600 coins—how awesome is that?]

[I didn't feel any enjoyment at all; it's still just a bottle of water?]

That's true. I carefully compared the taste of the five types of water and the purified three types of water, and they were exactly the same. It's really disappointing.

Has anyone here spent 500,000 yuan to buy Class III water for drinking? Does it taste the same as purified Class V water?

[Can't afford it, don't know]

Those who can afford it wouldn't be talking about it here.
