The bustling central square left Gou Fugui, who was holding a milk tea, in a daze for a long time.
It wasn't until he slurped down the sweet and delicious milk tea that he realized he was there to save the world, not to shop or sunbathe in the square.
The long-haired youth chuckled. The world didn't look like it was about to perish at all. Compared to the monstrous waves of the ocean apocalypse at the beginning, the square was now bustling with people and the sun was shining brightly, making it seem like a beautiful afternoon.
However, no matter how wonderful things are, we can't let our guard down; we have to do something.
Gou Fugui first turned the wristwatch on his wrist. It was a new multi-functional communication wristwatch developed by the National Research Institute, which had functions such as timekeeping, lighting, compass, detection of temperature and air quality in the area, as well as communication and defense.
It can be said to be one of the most advanced limited-edition technological products in China.
Leaving aside basic functions like timing and lighting, detecting air quality is to prevent the rescuers from unknowingly falling into a harsh environment upon arriving in a new setting.
The communication function is that each of their eleven wristwatches is embedded with a communication chip that can transmit the same frequency band. If the communication chip is not affected after passing through the Doomsday Gate, then even if the eleven of them are separated, they can reconnect and reunite in a relatively short period of time.
The shortwave emitted by the communication chip can be received by communicators with the same frequency band chip within a range of 100 kilometers. In other words, if he presses the contact button on his wristwatch and there is a companion within 100 kilometers, he can make contact.
But as expected, there was absolutely no response.
The wealthy beauty glanced at the small red gemstone light on the edge of her wristwatch, which indicated a failed communication, and rolled her eyes rather inelegantly.
So landing really is random. A hundred kilometers can cover a small city, meaning he doesn't have any other people in that city.
However, it's not hard to understand, since the whole world is suffering from the disaster.
He should be thankful that he landed in Washington State, a world where people speak the same language as him; otherwise, if he had fallen into the hands of cannibals in South Africa, he would have been doomed.
The optimistic, wealthy beauty comforted herself and did not act rashly, but began to observe everything around her.
The weather was sunny and the breeze was gentle; it was roughly late spring, before summer had even arrived.
The air quality index is excellent; at least in this city, there is no air pollution.
It's probably the weekend, and the square is crowded. Although there are many people, almost everyone has a relaxed and happy expression on their face. It seems that there haven't been any major, well-known, or worrying events recently.
So, how exactly did this world end?
Gou Fugui looked up and saw the huge LED screen in the square again. It seemed to be playing advertisements on a loop, and this time it was the all-in-one gold liquid again.
[The fifth-generation all-in-one gold liquid is now available! After taking it, you can effectively beautify your skin, enhance your wisdom, boost your physical strength, and delay aging! Gold liquid is always your most reliable life booster!]
When he first arrived, the wealthy and beautiful man didn't pay much attention to the advertisement on the LED screen, but after watching it, he felt deeply that no matter what world he was in, human merchants really did love to boast and talk nonsense.
A single bottle of liquid can enhance beauty, wisdom, stamina, and even lifespan. This isn't just gold elixir; it's the divine elixir of Guanyin Bodhisattva!
Do these businesses think everyone's stupid? Even if they put the ad in the busiest square, no one would believe it!
Just as the wealthy and beautiful woman was thinking this, colorful fireworks suddenly exploded on the other side of the square. Before she could figure out what had happened, a huge loudspeaker blared throughout the entire square.
[Attention everyone! The fifth-generation Life Gold Liquid developed by Dr. Sanchez has arrived! The first batch consists of 1,000 bottles! Each bottle is only 500,000! Only 500,000!]
Hurry and grab these deals! If you miss this batch, you'll have to wait another month for the next one! You'll be missing out on a month of wisdom, beauty, and life!
The wealthy and beautiful woman sat motionless on the bench, her pretty phoenix eyes filled with disdain and mockery. This advertising copy is becoming increasingly deceptive and shameless.
But his smile didn't last long, because he saw the crowd that had been leisurely strolling, having fun, and shopping in the square all freeze in shock after hearing the loudspeaker's announcement!
Then the crowd, like ducks summoned for food, quacked and rushed toward the luxurious shop where fireworks were being set off.
The wealthy beauty, whose face was almost swollen from being slapped: "..."
Wow, people actually buy this?!
No, a bottle of liquid gold costs 500,000! Is the currency here Japanese yen?!
He quickly realized it wasn't her, because a beautiful woman in twelve-centimeter heels swept past him like the wind, shouting loudly as she ran:
"Get out of my way! Don't block my path! Can you even afford this? What are you doing here?! I'm carrying an eight-figure black card!!"
When this beautiful, mature woman shouted out her last sentence, the crowd that was running forward paused for a moment, and then surprisingly, they actually made way for her.
The wealthy beauty: "..."
Good, at least money can still pave the way in this world.
Thinking this, the wealthy beauty carrying a specially made, stylish military-style backpack finally stood up from the bench.
He glanced around, raised the empty milk tea cup in his hand, and tossed it so that it landed precisely in the trash can.
Then the long-haired youth with a high ponytail swayed his neck from side to side, rotated his arms, took a deep breath, and then took out a shiny 999 pure gold brick from his backpack and charged straight into the crowd!
"Get out of my way if you don't want to get hit with a brick!"
The onlookers who had previously yielded to the crowd because of the eight-figure gold card scoffed at this shout. What was there to yield with a brick? They had benches and self-defense batons with them!
Until they were blinded by the golden light.
Wherever the golden bricks went, the crowd parted again, grumbling and snickering.
Holy crap, this long-haired guy is inhuman, he's carrying around a gold brick!!
So Gou Fugui, who had been running behind, quickly caught up with the mature woman in sky-high heels. At first, the mature woman didn't take it seriously and even tried to outdo her in wealth and power.
When she saw the pure gold brick in Gou Fugui's hand, her lips twitched. Then, noticing the wristwatch on Gou Fugui's left wrist and the gemstone bracelet on his right, the mature woman gasped, inwardly cursing as she ran even faster—
This guy is even more of a show-off than her, someone who's never short of money!
An absolutely formidable competitor!
The two rushed to the luxurious shop selling liquid gold almost simultaneously. At this moment, in front of the shop, which was as resplendent as the products they were selling, there was a very magnificent gold and gemstone sales counter.
On this lavish sales counter, twenty exquisite and beautiful glass bottles, even more crystal clear than perfume bottles, were displayed. Gou Fugui looked through the cordon and saw that these delicate and transparent glass bottles contained a pale golden liquid. If you looked closely, the pale golden liquid seemed to shimmer with dazzling light under the sunlight.
At first glance, it looks like a dream, and it really does seem like a celestial liquid that doesn't belong to the mortal world.
"Please don't rush! VIPs who have the intention and ability to purchase can simply line up outside the cordon!"
"While you are queuing, our staff will give you a purchase number. As long as you get a number, you will definitely be able to buy our first batch of fifth-generation gold liquid!"
"Furthermore, VIPs who receive a number can enjoy our premium services such as massage, chat, and games for free upon entering the store. Our Gold Company will never let our customers waste their time!"
Standing next to the glamorous gold counter, holding a microphone, was a well-dressed, seemingly capable young elite. Although he was also enthusiastically promoting their company's products, his pleasant voice and natural demeanor completely prevented anyone from feeling pressured to buy from him.
He's a talented person.
The loudspeaker in the store was still repeatedly announcing that people were running towards them from the mall in the distance.
Because of his advantageous location, he didn't have to wait long to get his own number plate. Unlike ordinary, inferior number plates, the purchase number plate issued to him by the gold company was like a unique and gorgeous brooch, with the number 44 engraved on the gold background, and sparkling rhinestones inlaid next to the number.
Gou Fugui noticed that the mature woman next to him had pinned her number 43 badge directly to her collar.
Then the long-haired, wavy-haired woman turned her head and saw the wealthy beauty looking at her. She raised her carefully groomed, slender eyebrows and said, "Beautiful little brother, shall we go in and get a hair treatment together?"
The handsome younger brother, Fugui'er, was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Okay~"
This mature woman is clearly a regular customer of the Golden Liquid; she should be able to tell him a lot about this magical liquid.
So Gou Fugui followed the mature woman Di Rong into a Golden Liquid specialty store that didn't look like a store at all.
Upon entering, a beautiful and handsome waiter greeted them. The mature and sophisticated Di Rong took the handsome waiter's hand, while the pretty waitress tried to help Gou Fugui with his bag, but he dodged her.
"I'll carry the bag myself."
The pretty waitress's smile remained unchanged as she obediently followed behind Gou Fugui. But when Gou Fugui and Di Rong lay down together on the comfortable shampoo chair, the beautiful waitress felt the hand touching her hair belong to someone else.
He opened his eyes and looked back. Looking at him was a man in his thirties with a gentle and refined demeanor, yet also with a touch of allure.
"VIP, let me take care of your hair."
"Your long hair is the most beautiful I've ever seen."
His beautiful phoenix eyes slanted upwards and then drooped down; the excessively handsome young man curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Look at this man's face and listen to his gentle, tender tone; he's almost as good as when he was a conman and shill at the Royal Hotel.
We should show respect to our peers.
Even though he has now successfully become a proud civil servant.
"Thank you, you're the second-highest quality shill I've ever seen."
The first one, of course, is himself.
The gentle man paused in his grip on Fu Gui's long hair, and the voluptuous woman next to him burst out laughing.
"My handsome little brother, you can't be so blunt. Otherwise, how are people supposed to do business?"
The wealthy and beautiful woman shrugged and started the conversation directly: "Beautiful sister, this is the first time I've bought liquid gold. I've wanted to buy it before, but I never made up my mind. It always felt a bit too unreal."
"Beautiful lady, this isn't your first time buying this, is it? Does this gold liquid really work? I want to hear real user reviews, not just what's advertised on TV."
The wavy-haired beauty chuckled when she heard Gou Fugui's words. Her laughter was melodious, but her words were shocking to the wealthy beauty's values.
"Of course it works. Otherwise, why would my sister be so desperate to snatch it? I understand the mindset of you conservative and cautious wealthy people; you're unwilling to take any risks, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance of something going wrong."
But little brother, fortune always comes with danger, doesn't it? Besides, the liquid gold poses no danger whatsoever.
"Look at me, guess how old I am?"
Gou Fugui carefully observed the face and skin of this wavy-haired beauty and saw almost no signs of aging.
"28?"
This was a very realistic answer in Gou Fugui's opinion, but the big-haired mature woman next to him laughed even louder.
The laughter showed that she was in a very good mood, and the waiters in the hair salon also had proud smiles on their faces.
"My dear brother, I'm already 48 years old this year."
Gou Fugui's eyes widened in disbelief at that moment, and he almost sat up from his recliner, but was held down by the second accomplice behind him.
"Please do not move, VIP."
Gou Fugui lay back down and turned his head: "You're 48 this year?! You're not lying to me?!"
A woman nearing fifty could never have such beautiful, smooth skin as the person in front of her, let alone run wildly through a crowd in twelve-centimeter high heels.
Gou Fugui's reason screamed that this was unscientific, but his eyes and ears told him that it was true.
The wavy-haired beauty laughed heartily: "Really, really, I would never lie to a handsome and beautiful little brother."
"If the Golden Liquid hadn't truly brought me so many changes and benefits, why would you, as an older sister, be pushing yourself so hard?"
The wealthy and beautiful woman lay on a recliner, questioning the meaning of life. After a while, she finally found her voice and asked, "How long will the effects of this bottle of golden liquid last?"
If we consider this liquid gold as super hyaluronic acid or some kind of harmless super nutrient solution, then that possibility is not entirely unacceptable.
If this world's biotechnology is far ahead of theirs, then he's making a fuss over nothing.
If he could bring back a bottle of this liquid gold, it could probably give China's biotechnology a huge leap forward!
The woman with the big, wavy hair laughed and said, "The effect lasts quite a long time, about a month!"
Gou Fugui's lips twitched slightly, and he finally felt a little more at ease. Five hundred thousand a month, and to maintain its effects, he would have to keep taking it. In that case, the medicine finally had a price that matched its value.
"However, the Golden Liquid has a very special characteristic: if it is taken for the first time, there is an 80% chance that it will permanently improve one of the user's physical attributes."
"Some mentally challenged children suddenly became intelligent after drinking it, and some physically weak people became as strong as oxen after drinking it... In short, this golden liquid is really good stuff, little brother, you won't regret buying it."
"It's said that the fifth-generation gold liquid is even more effective. When you get your hands on it and take it, little brother, maybe you'll turn into an unparalleled beauty with skin as white as ice and bones as you wish!"
Gou Fugui subconsciously touched his skin, then shook it and shook his head: "Ice-like skin and jade bones are out of the question. If possible, add some intelligence or lifespan."
The wavy-haired mature woman laughed again: "That's right, little brother, you're already handsome enough. If you were any more handsome, it would be a problem."
By this time, both of them had finished washing their hair. The waiter gently applied a nourishing solution to their hair and then wrapped it in a special shower cap.
When the two of them sat up, two shop assistants came to them carrying two exquisite glass bottles.
"Distinguished guest, this is your exclusive fifth-generation gold liquid. Once you complete the payment, you will have complete ownership of it."
The two shop assistants said the same thing to the wavy-haired mature woman and Gou Fugui, except that the wavy-haired mature woman took out her black gold card, while the rich beauty simply placed the gold bricks from her backpack on the tray.
These gold bricks were specially commissioned for him by the government as part of his official expenses. He was given five in total, each worth exactly 500,000 yuan.
Of course, the three gold bricks he gave to Minister Tu were not given to him by the state, but were obtained by him from Old Master Jin's basement.
"Is one piece enough? If not, I have more."
Gou Fugui determined by observing the gold jewelry worn by pedestrians that gold was a universally accepted precious metal in this world, but he didn't know how much a gram of gold cost here.
The shop assistant who received the gold brick showed no sign of distress; she maintained a polite smile and said, "Please wait a moment, sir, we'll go weigh it and do the appraisal right away."
Five minutes later, Gou Fugui received his golden liquid.
They also received an extra 30,000 yuan in cash.
It is evident that the gold exchange rate in this world is slightly higher than in their country.
After receiving the golden liquid, Gou Fugui carefully examined the exquisite glass bottle and the pale golden liquid inside, but did not open the bottle or drink it.
He didn't know if he could stay here for a month or if he would have the chance to buy such a miraculous potion again, so he wanted to hand this bottle over to the country!
Who can blame him when he's a conscientious, responsible, and honorable civil servant?
However, the wavy-haired mature woman sitting next to him opened the bottle of fifth-generation gold liquid in her hand without any hesitation and drank it down.
The pale golden liquid stained the corner of her mouth and quickly seeped into her body.
At this moment, the other customers in the store who had obtained the Golden Liquid also eagerly drank their life-giving liquid.
Gou Fugui glanced around, held his breath to keep from blinking, and prepared to witness a miracle.
Then, he saw that the beautiful woman with big, wavy hair seemed to have become younger and more beautiful in an instant, and her skin even had a radiant glow.
A male customer next to me finished his drink of the "golden liquid" and suddenly stood up, yelled, raised his arm, and punched through the solid wood coffee table in front of him.
There were also young students who exclaimed with delight that their minds seemed clearer, and elderly people who seemed to have been revitalized.
Looking at the scene in the specialty store, Gou Fugui truly felt it was a miracle.
However, the miracle before his eyes soon turned into a nightmare that would drive anyone mad with terror—
The voluptuous, mature woman's flawless skin, after reaching its peak of radiance, suddenly began to decay and fester. As she smiled at Gou Fugui without realizing it, patches of her skin peeled off.
The strongman, who had just been given a physique boost, suddenly had bulging veins all over his body, and through his bulging muscles, you could see the dark blue blood vessels.
The teenager and the old man, who had just been overjoyed at their increased intelligence and lifespan, suddenly collapsed to the ground screaming and raving, only to get up again a dozen seconds later with blank and ferocious expressions.
Gou Fugui, who witnessed the miracle: "..."
The store was initially deathly quiet, but then a salesperson, unable to contain themselves, let out a piercing scream, thus beginning the prelude to the apocalypse.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The long-haired youth looked at the "monsters" surrounding him, all drawn by the screams, and slowly clutched his chest, feeling as if the milk tea in his stomach was bubbling with acid.
"grass."
At this moment, Captain Xie, who had been walking in the unknown forest for half an hour, saw dozens of dark-skinned savages with animal skins, wooden spikes, and strange symbols painted on their faces suddenly emerge from the dense forest in front of him, and said the same words as his Yuanyuan.
"grass!"
It really is.
It's not impossible for this world to be destroyed.
