Li Lechen was naturally willing to help, so at the girl's request, the two of them extended a long water pipe with an air bladder to the middle of the river.

The two then began to squeeze the air bag forcefully. After a few squeezes, the resulting air pressure pumped water from the river up and into the bucket.

Why are you taking so much water?

Looking at the large bucket in front of him, which could easily hold more than ten liters of water, Li Lechen couldn't help but ask. Because if it were just for sampling and testing, such a large bucket wouldn't be necessary.

The girl readily shared her knowledge: "There's a water purification innovation competition in the city, and our school is one of the participating teams. We'll take this water back for our seniors to use in experiments."

Upon hearing this, Li Lechen immediately thought of Zhou Mi's water purifier. He knew she wouldn't make a water purifier for no reason; it turned out she was going to participate in a competition.

Zhou Mi, a top student, not only finds a sense of accomplishment in her outstanding exam results, but is also most passionate about participating in various competitions.

After filling the water tank and loading it onto the cart, Li Lechen continued to collect the floating algae.

Normally, he would collect two bags and sell one bag, and each bag could sell for around 300 to 400 million yuan. By the time the event ended and he returned home, Li Lechen had unknowingly sold nearly 3 billion yuan worth of goods.

It was a pleasant surprise; it was indeed more efficient and safer than opening a portal.

Congratulations to the anchor for making it onto the Sunshine Rich List!

A unique comment stood out amidst the chattering discussions about whether there was still any algae.

Because no one could see Li Lechen's personal information, this comment really attracted a lot of attention.

The crucial point is that the person who posted the comment was anonymous, and even Li Lechen didn't know about it.

How can these experts see a streamer's account information? Is it also in a private section?

[With all that green algae sold, this streamer must be worth billions, no doubt about it.]

How much money do you need to make it onto the list of the wealthiest people in China?

Does being listed on the Sunshine Rich List grant permanent residency in the safe zone?

[Theoretically, yes, but we'll have to wait for the large-scale population census to be sure.]

Those who fall off the Sunshine Rich List will definitely lose their permanent residency in the safe zone, but new entrants to the list are not guaranteed permanent residency; there seem to be other regulations as well.

[The person upstairs knows a lot; they seem quite knowledgeable.]

[Definitely a top player in the safe zone]

I was on the list of the richest people in China once, but I was quickly pushed off.

[Envious of the big shots who have appeared on the list of the wealthiest people in China]

[How much wealth does the streamer actually have? Can the big shot who made the leak tell us?]

[No matter what, it must be at least several billion.]

In fact, Li Lechen himself doesn't know how to look at the Sunshine Rich List. He currently has personal assets of 3.7 billion yuan, which he obtained very easily. He feels quite guilty that he could become one of the top 10,000 richest people in the world so easily.

The mysterious, personalized comment continued: "[Streamer, you should be careful; it's lonely at the top.]"

Li Lechen was taken aback, somewhat confused. However, he still replied rationally, "The Sunshine Rich List and such don't mean much to me. If being on this rich list is dangerous, then I'll just spend the money."

That's right, making money is easy, and spending it is just as easy. He even has Huo Jiujian at his beck and call now. Out of 100 million people worldwide, even excluding the wealthy in safe zones, a few dozen dollars from each person would be enough to squander all his money. Why would he worry about suffering misfortune for appearing on the rich list?

However, it's still something to be proud of.

So Li Lechen could understand Zhou Mi's pursuit of honor as a top student. He wouldn't mind giving her a little help in the water purification creative competition. After all, they were cousins, which in ancient times allowed marriage... oops!

......

......

In just half a day, Kang Shuaifu, who was originally arrogant, had completely lost his spirit.

They gave the other party 90% of their sales revenue as a kickback, in exchange for a drop of about 3 points in the daily health value of 50% of the world's population. But in just half a day, the partnership broke down, and not only did these previously mysteriously declining health values ​​return, but many people's health values ​​even continued to rise.

Almost no one believes the claim that natural water can improve health anymore. Or rather, even if they did, it wouldn't make much difference, since health is increasing anyway, and as long as it doesn't endanger their lives, very few people can afford a bottle of Class 5 water that now costs 5,000 coins.

The sales of natural water in the mall are even lower than before.

The other party didn't budge, and in fact, they didn't say anything more. The meaning was clear: adding another 30% was not going to change their mind.

Just as I was hesitating, the smart assistant gently reminded me: The mall's backend sent a message saying that user "烈炎烽火轮" complained that drinking three bottles of Class V water at once did not improve health, and suspected that there was false advertising.

"Refund! Refund him! Give him a refund!"

Kang Shuaifu replied indignantly.

"We just received another complaint, saying..."

"Refund!" Kang Shuaifu said defiantly before the smart assistant could finish speaking, "Refund everything! Refund everything!"

They say having permanent residency in a safe zone grants supreme power, so why are there even complaints? Why do complaints lead to investigations? Why do all investigations inevitably uncover problems? Isn't it all about money?

Of course, there are risks involved in filing a complaint.

It's true that complaints will inevitably lead to investigations, and it's also true that investigations will inevitably uncover problems. However, if the investigation finds that the complaint is untrue, the complainant will be the one punished.

Therefore, unless there is truly sufficient evidence, residents in the general quarantine zone or even ordinary safe zones would not dare to file complaints casually, since those who file complaints are usually high-ranking figures.

Since its establishment, Kang Shuaifu's Natural Water Company has only received one complaint, which ultimately ended in the complainant's defeat.

Whether intentionally or not, the story of how this unfortunate complainant was ultimately killed in a humanitarian attack spread quickly, leading to a consensus that the natural water company was definitely not to be trifled with.

A life was saved, and Kang Shuaifu spent 20 million yuan to fix it, which was roughly the price of setting up a file in the hospital.

The reason why Kang Shuaifu is still hesitating about whether to agree to the additional 30% kickback is because he knows very well that his greedy appetite will not stop when it is satisfied, but will only grow bigger and bigger.

The previous 90% was already terrifying. Even if I agree to add 30% now, they might make additional demands in a few days. By then, I'll be in a bind. What should I do?

Hesitating for a while, another half day passed.

However, the smart assistant did not continue to bother its owner, since the order had already been given and any complaints were resolved with a full refund.

For a traditionally powerful online marketplace, it's relatively rare for a complaint to result in a full refund.

Because it was relatively rare, the first few people who successfully received refunds after filing complaints quickly spread the news.
