Chapter 21 The Effects of Lucky Charms
Facing the wolf-like gazes of Chef Fang and others, Yun Mo signed the technology transfer terms.
Manager Wen spent 20,000 star coins to buy the recipes for the magical chicken and medicinal duck.
Yun Mo suddenly went from being in dire poverty to being a wealthy man, especially since the money was not mixed with karma and did not need to be donated.
Young Master Yun took a deep breath. This was the state she should be in.
However, she may have underestimated the backlash of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.
The money had barely warmed in his hands when his intelligent computer received a notification, a bright red message from the tax bureau: "Yunmo, after verification by the Dongguan branch of StarNet, you earned 21,840 StarCoins in August of the Star Calendar year 1172. You failed to declare and pay taxes in a timely manner, nor did you authorize StarNet to deduct the taxes. According to the StarNet Individual Income Tax Declaration Regulations, the proposed fine is as follows..."
Yunmo: ...
The fine wasn't large, but it was enough to alert Yun Mo. She was a money loser in this life, and she was afraid that no matter how much money she had, she wouldn't be able to keep it; it would always flow away for various reasons.
She silently withdrew the resignation letter she was about to submit to Manager Wen.
Life is not easy, so cherish every moment you have.
In the evening, Yunmo opened the smart brain and logged into her WB account.
It's been quite some time since she posted the message, but the number of reposts is less than 50.
Among these people, the netizen named "风吹屁屁凉" also occupied a seat, but this guy was definitely here to watch the fun.
A kind-hearted netizen posted a reminder to her: "OP, it is very popular now to forward koi fish. They are system-generated, beautiful and elegant, and are a good omen. But your lucky charm looks so strange and not pretty at all."
Yunmo felt her heart sink to the bone. What was it like to buy the casket and return the pearl? How could that damned koi compare to her lucky charm?
Yunmo closed the WB webpage out of boredom, feeling a little bored.
What she didn't know was that just a few hours later, the cumulative number of reposts of "Good Luck 500" had reached 10,000, and was still rising at an unpredictable speed.
The person who caused such a large number of reposts was still the "wind blowing on my butt cold" person.
"I will personally expose her disguise and reveal the true face of this charlatan who is cheating people!" Huo Chuan said viciously.
Ever since he was forced to sing the song "Conquer" last time, Huo Chuan has been keeping an eye on Yun Mo's WB account.
As soon as she posted, Huo Chuan forwarded it. Not only did he forward it himself, he also forced his driver Jiang Haitao to do the same. Jiang Haitao then went to his friends and family to continue forwarding it.
He wanted to tell that charlatan with facts that her stuff was a lie.
But considering that the talisman was really not beautiful, when people in the circle of friends saw it, they would at most make a few jokes about it, and not many people would forward it.
Wei Dahai opened a trading company, mainly transporting purple gold sand from Sirius to the Central Star.
But in their line of work, the most important thing is connections. He carefully maintained relationships with all parties and was able to gain a firm foothold in Central Star.
Wei Dahai followed the Mei family's path, but since last year, the Mei family's side branch moved from Yaoguang Star to Central Star and also got involved in this business.
The most important function of the purple gold sand on the Central Star is to be used in the design of mecha circuits. The required quantity is not large and it definitely cannot consume all the production capacity of Yaoguang Star and Sirius Star.
Moreover, the route from Sirius to the Central Star passes through a chaotic star field where interstellar pirates are rampant. Previously, with the Mei family's escort fleet, transportation costs were relatively low.
When the Mei family's side branch arrived, they directly persuaded the main branch to withdraw the frigates from that route.
Other transport companies were either unwilling to accept Wei Dahai's order or were not strong enough. If it weren't for the fact that the Central Star Warehouse still had some inventory, they would have lost the customer long ago.
Today, Wei Dahai once again prepared a generous gift, hoping that the Mei family would consider their situation. He was willing to keep only 10% of the profits and give the majority to the Mei family.
But he couldn't even enter the Mei family's door. The message conveyed by the housekeeper was very clear. Purple gold sand was an important strategic resource and must be controlled by the government. He suggested that he sell the Sirius mine.
When Wei Dahai was in despair, he received a communication from Jiang Haitao, who said that there was an efficacious master on WB who had drawn a fortune-bringing talisman that could improve people's luck.
Even though Jiang Haitao didn't say much, Wei Dahai could understand from his helpless look that the young master might be up to something again.
Wei Dahai hung up the phone listlessly, put his head in his hands, and sat on a bench by the roadside for a long time.
"Are you really giving up like this? All these decades of hard work?" Wei Dahai muttered to himself with dull eyes.
"Ding... Jiang Haitao forwarded the WB post and @ you," a prompt came from the smart brain.
Wei Dahai smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at Jiang Haitao's account, "Forget it, it's not easy to be a subordinate, so I'll just consider it as helping you."
He casually forwarded the lucky charm to his circle of friends.
Half an hour later, a piece of news was broadcast on Star Network News, which made Wei Dahai's eyes light up.
"A new migration point has been discovered on Kaiyang Star, capable of supporting the simultaneous passage of dozens of starships..."
"Kaiyang Star? Hahahaha", Wei Dahai couldn't believe his eyes.
He looked at it over and over again, and yes, it was Kaiyang, the planet controlled by General Wen Tenghui.
The best route from Sirius to the Central Star is through the chaotic star field.
But everyone knows that the ships coming from Sirius can also bypass Kaiyang Star. However, before the migration point was discovered, the detour route was more than twice as long, resulting in high costs, and no businessman considered this route.
Now what? Now that Kaiyang Star has discovered the migration point, this extra double distance is no longer a threat.
Wei Dahai almost laughed his belly off.
Mei family, haha, man proposes, God disposes!
As he laughed, he remembered the strange talisman. Could it be because of this?
The news came neither early nor late, it was released right after he forwarded it...
Following Wei Dahai, several new employees in the Huochuan family business were forced to forward their posts. This year they had to take the "Mecha Manufacturer" level exam, commonly known as "Ghost-Seeing Sorrow".
Wang Qing was like a cheat during the exam. Almost all the content he had prepared before the exam appeared on the test paper.
In his joy, he hung up the talisman that his boss had forced him to give out.
In fact, this lucky charm is just for good luck and it does help to improve luck, but its real strength still depends on the efforts of the person who forwards it.
It is like, if you could have scored 90 points, and a lucky charm increases your luck by 5%, it cannot change the overall direction of a person's life.
However, once a few lucky people showed their results, the popularity started to rise.
Huo Chuan was completely stunned. He was still waiting to see the joke, but the crowd, who had suddenly come to their senses, had already gone crazy.
Due to psychological effects and the instigation of people around them, they actually felt that their luck seemed to have really improved.
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it? This is just for psychological comfort. If you take it seriously, you'll lose."
"It's the interstellar age now, so we must firmly uphold materialism, dear friends. If the blogger was that capable, would he have ended up in such a miserable state, being so poor that he had to resort to scamming people in hospitals?"
"@Call Me Daddy, you're just taking advantage of freedom of speech and skirting the law. If you promote superstitious activities on the planet Yilan, you'll be jailed for life."
"Please listen to me and be fair. I'm an online writer. Since I forwarded this, I really feel much better. I feel refreshed. I think I can write 10,000 words a day for countless days!"
"Yes, yes, I feel the same way! But the original poster said that the effect only lasts for three days, what a pity."
"You guys are a troll army, right? How much did you pay for them? I counted them all, and there are at least thousands of comments just from you guys praising me. Didn't the original poster say that more than 500 reposts would be invalid? Are you contradicting yourself?"
"@Call me dad. The original poster, please come out and say something! If you don't come out, our fan club won't be able to hold on any longer!"
"+1!"
"+10086!"
"+Starnet ID number!!!"
“…”
Wherever there is true love, there are haters, and both sides enjoy arguing with each other.
Yun Mo could no longer see these things.
She has now completely lost confidence in WB's way of communication.
Block it, block it decisively, and never come to this sad place again.
Yun Mo sat upright on the bed, palms facing up on her knees, continuing to repair her soul.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but her faith seemed to be even stronger now.
If this concentration can be maintained, it will be able to recover to about 20% in another three months.
Once her soul is repaired, she can try to store her mental power. She wonders if it can be stored in her soul like spiritual power.
