In Li Lechen's opinion, taking one pill to last a year is already incredibly high-tech! If it were some kind of satiety pill, how much food could the country save if he didn't eat for a whole year? In places with food shortages, why would they need to import food? Just give everyone one, and everyone can just drink water for the whole year!

This is a major initiative to solve the global problem of food security!

As for whether 500 coins is expensive or not, that probably varies from person to person. Anyway, I'm considered a rich person on this platform now, so I don't think 500 coins is anything.

Cheng Xixi continued, "...Actually, this company is already on the verge of collapse. Apart from the satiety pills, which still have a market, things like body fragrance pills and cooling pills have no market at all. Moreover, now there are people everywhere selling cheap satiety pills, and the market has been completely ruined."

That's true. As the name suggests, eating it will make your whole body smell fragrant or feel cool and refreshed, but it doesn't have much of a practical effect. The only special thing is that it makes you feel less hungry.

It's unbelievable that unfair competition is still so fierce two thousand years later.

However, at least this thing is edible and not dangerous... Li Lechen thought to himself, and put the body-fragrant pill aside.

"Aren't you going to eat this right away?" Cheng Xixi suddenly asked.

"Eat right away? I'm not planning to eat right now," Li Lechen admitted.

What kind of body-fragrant pills are these? They promise to make you smell nice all over and last for a year. It's perfectly normal for a grown man to have a bit of body odor. Smelling nice would make you seem gay!

But Cheng Xixi became obviously nervous: "Since you're not going to eat it, just throw it away quickly, throw it outside the cabin."

"Why throw it away? It's such a high-stakes gambling item, you could give it away." Li Lechen didn't think much of it and found Cheng Xixi's words very strange.

“This thing is dangerous!” Cheng Xixi explained, “It will explode if it comes into contact with air for 24 hours.”

Self-destruction?!

Li Lechen was utterly speechless. Why did the future world seem to love causing people and things to explode so easily? Wasn't it impossible to live a peaceful life anymore?

The key issue is that this thing can explode on its own, so wouldn't it be even more dangerous to eat it?

Rather than risk being smashed to pieces, let that fragrant smell go to hell!

"I'll throw it in the toilet right now!"

Li Lechen got up to act as he spoke, but was interrupted by Cheng Xixi: "Throw it in the toilet? Are the toilets in the private area made of titanium?"

"......"

I don't know anything about titanium, but the toilet is ceramic, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Li Lechen then tentatively asked, "Is this thing very powerful when it explodes?"

"It's alright, it's about the power of one or two kilograms of TNT, but it won't have any effect on the flight cabin. We can just throw it outside the cabin."

One or two kilograms... TNT explosives...

Li Lechen doesn't need to ask Baidu. Even just one or two kilograms of TNT explosives, or even just one or two kilograms of gunpowder for making firecrackers, can blow the roof off when it explodes.

Why is a perfectly good body-fragrant pill considered more terrifying than explosives? Are people in the future just trying to create chaos?

Li Lechen is now carrying this "Malliseau" with him, and he's so nervous that if he puts it on the table, he's afraid it will blow up the room; if he throws it out, he's afraid it will blow up the district; if he eats it, he's afraid it will blow him up. He's more nervous than if he stepped on a landmine.

"It's nothing, really," Cheng Xixi quickly reassured her. "Just eat it. The 'One-Time Solution' company is afraid that their patented technology will be stolen by other companies, so if it's not consumed within 24 hours of production, it will self-destruct. It's actually very safe."

Is it safe? Li Lechen couldn't help but twitch his lips. Could it be safe to ingest one or two kilograms of TNT?

But it seems really unsafe not to eat it.

After hesitating for a while and smelling it under his nose several times, he finally gritted his teeth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Okay, aside from a gurgling sound in my throat, I didn't feel anything.

A single pill can produce the power of one or two kilograms of TNT. What about something even larger?

Thinking of this, Li Lechen quickly took out another item, the glass ball containing the liquid and stones.

"Wow! You actually won the top-tier luxury diamond repair essence!"

In stark contrast to her previous disdain, Cheng Xixi was now as excited as any woman seeing an LV bag or Dior perfume, wishing she could just pass through the virtual screen and swallow it whole.

As a typical straight man, Li Lechen really had no interest in anything top-tier, diamonds, or essences, but he was certain that these were products for women.

"Is this thing really useful? What are the effects?" Li Lechen asked instinctively when he saw how excited Cheng Xixi was.

Cheng Xixi was still a little excited: "This bottle of top-of-the-line luxury diamond repair essence is only available in limited quantities in the mall to permanent residents of the safe zone. Its main ingredient is diamond, with a concentration of over 75%!"

"Diamonds? This watery thing is a diamond?" Li Lechen was even more confused.

Knowing that the rich guy had just turned eighteen and was in the exclusive zone, he probably didn't know many things, so Cheng Xixi patiently explained: "Five hundred years ago, scientists discovered that 'liquid' diamonds have a super strong skin repair function. After more than a hundred years of development, they finally made diamonds stay in a 'liquid' state at room temperature, and that's how this skin care product came about. It is said that after applying it, it can instantly repair wrinkles and scars and restore youthful skin."

Is it really that amazing? Instant repair? With diamonds? Li Lechen expressed some skepticism.

Cheng Xixi continued to explain: "However, skin resurfacing technology is quite advanced now. If you want smooth and delicate skin, you can get a full-body skin resurfacing for a few thousand coins. So, although this essence claims to be effective, it's actually quite useless. Anyway, even if I were rich, I definitely wouldn't buy this. However, this essence is still very popular in the safe zone. Although it's priced at 500,000, it's still sold in limited quantities. Depending on the availability of raw materials, only three to five bottles are released each month."

"Five hundred thousand?!" Li Lechen exclaimed in surprise, "This bottle of yours is worth five hundred thousand?!"

"Yes, several major diamond mines are located in polluted areas, making mining quite difficult."

"......"

Instantly, Li Lechen felt a sudden heaviness in his hands. He was carrying a diamond weighing several tens of grams!

In fact, the 500,000 that Cheng Xixi mentioned refers to Sunshine Coins. According to the current economic level, the raw material cost of this bottle of "liquid" diamond essence alone would be close to 50 million RMB.

Put it away properly, put it away quickly!

Of course, before doing so, Li Lechen checked several times to make sure that the diamond essence, bottled water, air, and glasses would not explode on their own.

Finally, there are the glasses; I hope they won't disappoint me.

"These glasses...they're not ordinary glasses, are they?" Li Lechen asked tentatively.

"Did you get this from the red envelope too?" Cheng Xixi showed a regretful expression again. Just from that expression and the tone of her voice, Li Lechen's heart sank.

"This should be a 'thank you for participating' prize. These are often given away as freebies in eyewear stores. If you buy them, three or five Sunshine Coins will be enough," Cheng Xixi explained.

Just as I suspected! They really are just prop glasses from a street stall.

"But it can..."

Um?

Before Cheng Xixi could finish speaking, the screen jolted and the video window disappeared.
