"Of course it's not enough. Besides, the tax is collected by the Inland Revenue Department, which has nothing to do with our mall. We will not admit that the data has been modified in the background."

What's going on?

Li Lechen wondered if he had overheard something he shouldn't have.

"What? What's going on? There's nothing going on. I didn't say anything. My settings are that I can't talk about any data modifications."

"..."

The tragedy of intelligent robots.

Has it been a long time since you upgraded?

"It has been constantly upgrading and has never been absent."

That's like over-upgrading, and then even adopting the human-specific "flaw" of short-circuiting.

"Dear customer, could you please stop focusing on me? I'm just an intelligent robot. Any problems are the responsibility of the AI ​​company, not our online store. Are you satisfied with the explanation of the service package for the product listing? Do you need to pay for it?"

"No! I have a question to ask!"

Li Lechen quickly expressed his opinion.

He has over 30 billion in his account; who knows if he could just deduct it all with a nod? Why won't payments in the future require a password? No matter how expensive, it's all password-free payment, which makes me feel completely insecure.

"Why is your service so expensive? I want to know the reason why it's so pricey!"

"Because you are a permanent resident of An District, this amount of money is just a small sum for you," the shopping mall sales assistant stated without any attempt to hide the fact.

"But the problem is that I only have the power, but I am not actually one."

"I'm showing you this here, but you've only given up some rights."

grass!

Could it be that the rights included in the package deal are some kind of hidden costs?

So all permanent residents of Anqu District are essentially suckers?

What if you purchase one or more rights individually? Or what if you don't want the bundled services offered by the store and want to do it yourself?

"Boss, you must be joking." The online store sales assistant caught Li Lechen's thoughts in time and stopped him. "Why would a big shot like you handle all this yourself? All these services combined only cost 880 million. You wouldn't be trying to save that money by 'manipulating' things yourself, would you? If you're 'manipulating' things yourself, what would you need mass production rights for?"

880 million...

It's really not a small amount of money.

Of course, it might seem like a small amount of money to permanent residents of Anqu District. Otherwise, Lin Sen wouldn't have spent six billion to experience a ten-minute visit to the exclusive zone that day.

However, that trip was truly unexpected, as Lin Sen had actually stockpiled so much natural oxygen.

Because there was so much natural oxygen being offered at a special price, Li Lechen had to assume that it was all stockpiled.

Fortunately, oxygen has no expiration date.

Perhaps the oxygen sold today has been stored for hundreds of years.

Could sharing the same oxygen with people from hundreds of years ago be a selling point, allowing us to raise the price?

“That’s right, dear,” the online store sales assistant interjected promptly. “Your awareness now is truly different from before. You’ve put in so much effort to obtain permanent residency in An District, and spent so much money listing products on the online store. If we don’t sell them at a higher price, how can we face our parents who gave us life and raised us? How can we face the gene company that gave us wisdom and helped us grow? How can we face…”

"Wait a moment!"

Li Lechen had to interrupt him when he already knew the mall salesperson was about to launch into another long-winded explanation.

"Are you deliberately trying to scam permanent residents of Anqu District? It's not just permanent residents of Anqu District who can have their products listed on the online store! Regular residents of Anqu District can too, so why aren't you charging them?"

At least, Lai Haoren's disposable products are not expensive. If he had to pay such high listing service fees, how could he sell affordable and high-quality products?

"So, the 'one-stop' company doesn't purchase any services from our online store. They occasionally advertise by giving us a commission on product sales. Also, all services offered in the store are optional; there's never any forced consumption. Honey... are you still there? Damn!"

Li Lechen didn't hear the last message from the online store's customer service because he had already left the store.

880 million yuan is not a large sum of money for Li Lechen now, but he still feels wronged to have to pay a service fee for no reason.

Since Lai Haoren didn't have to pay a service fee before, why should I?

I searched for Lai Haoren's live stream and found that he was indeed live streaming right now. No wonder he didn't watch my live stream earlier.

Clearly, Lai Haoren is usually very busy and has very little time to watch other people's live streams.

His live stream audience was not large, less than 30,000. As a resident of Anqu District and whose company was not exactly unknown, such a number of viewers was indeed low.

But it's also related to the content of his live streams.

Because he was working the whole time.

With a pile of raw materials on the left and a pile of finished products on the right, Lai Haoren's job is to keep feeding the raw materials into one end of a seemingly simple machine, and the finished meatballs will come out from the other end.

The meatballs are produced very quickly; a preliminary estimate suggests that over a hundred can be produced per minute.

However, this quantity is clearly insufficient when considering the global market demand of 100 million people.

Therefore, the audience is complaining.

Streamer, your hand speed is too slow.

My eyes are sore from looking at it.

Stop making those "satiety pills," instead, make more "antidote pills."

I need satiety pills, but why are they still subject to purchase limits? Can't I buy more if I already bought some today? I accidentally ate an antidote.

Is the person upstairs asking "100,000 Whys"? They have so many questions.

However, the limit on purchasing satiety pills is one pill per day, which is ridiculous.

Weren't there no purchase restrictions before? Why are there restrictions now?

Business is good, does that need explaining?

"I'm really sorry." Lai Haoren looked up and saw the comment on the screen, so he explained, "The demand for the satiety pills is huge right now. Two million people need to buy them every day. If we don't limit each person to one pill a day, the supply simply can't meet the demand. Actually, I've been considering whether to extend the time limit a bit, since the satiety pills have a shelf life of one year."

Oh my god, eating only one full-body pill a year, I've instantly lost all love.

I envy those who can afford to eat filling pills every day.

But I need the function of the satiety pills, and I also want to take the antidote for them. What should I do?

First take the antidote, then take the satiety pill. That way, you can taste the antidote and also have the effect of the satiety pill. What do you think of my idea?

It seems like a really good idea.

What a brilliant idea! I feel like my intelligence has been insulted.

It's understandable to limit the purchase of satiety pills, but why is there also a limit on the purchase of antidotes?

When I went to buy a satiety pill or other remedy, it said I couldn't buy it.

Does it directly tell me I can't buy it? I'm getting a message saying there's a purchase limit.

Now, aren't the satiety pills and antidote no longer sold together? I bought the satiety pills six months ago and the antidote yesterday, and there's no problem.

This purchase restriction policy is so confusing, I don't understand it at all.

Ultimately, it's a matter of the streamer's hand speed.

Was that machine from two thousand years ago? It looks very crude and inefficient.
