Chapter 57
The celebration in Dolei City lasted for a whole day, and the streets were still brightly lit late at night. Bright torches surrounded the square, and people danced in celebration in the center of the square. The music continued until late at night, until the dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the people who had enjoyed themselves returned home with reluctance.
Jiang Li placed the gold medal he had received in his home in the alien world and placed it solemnly.
When he was on Earth, he had won many certificates of honor and trophies from childhood to adulthood, but this was the first time in the alien world, and the gold content was not low at all.
He took out his mobile phone and took a photo of his medal. After returning to Earth, he happily sent the photo to his roommate group.
Jiang Li: [Photo.jpg]
It was late at night on Earth, but none of the night owls were asleep, and they were all very energetic. As soon as the photo was posted, the surfboards of the awake people immediately slid into the group.
[Wow! Beautiful!]
[What is this? Gold? Gemstone? Pure gold? Such a big piece!]
[What suddenly blinded my eyes? It was the light of money!]
Lin Chengrui came in: [What is this? A handicraft? It's pretty, where did you buy it? I want one too.]
The group was silent for a while, and the other roommates began to curse: [Poverty has made me unrecognizable.]
[I suggest you withdraw, otherwise I will be overwhelmed while working overtime. 】
The last sentence immediately attracted a lot of attention, and everyone tagged the roommate: [Are you still working overtime? ]
[Is your company too inhumane? ]
[Don't mention it. I've been working overtime until the early morning every day recently. I feel like my hair is almost gone... No, except for my hair, everything else is almost gone. ]
Jiang Li put down his phone after posting the photo. After he finished washing and lying down, he picked up his phone again. Countless chat records had been swiped in the group. There was also a private message from Lin Chengrui to him.
Jiang Li casually glanced at the content in the group. Before, they were still talking about hair growth drugs, but now the topic has moved on to the new game.
Even though Jiang Li concentrated on running a supermarket and practicing magic in the other world, he knew that the hair growth potion was very popular on Earth just by looking at the dividends that were deposited into his card every month, which were increasing month by month. The most obvious change was the roommates who had privately complained to him that it was a three-no product.
Now they have changed their previous attitude and all used the hair growth potion. They have regained their beautiful hair and become loyal fans of the hair growth potion, praising it every time they mention it. Even office workers who work overtime and stay up late every day no longer have to worry about hair loss. All lost? Then take another course of treatment!
He opened the private chat with Lin Chengrui.
Lin Chengrui: [Jiang Li, do you still have that slimming potion? Give me some more. 】
Jiang Li typed: [Do you want more? ]
If he remembered correctly, Lin Chengrui had taken the slimming drug away before, and later he bought a lot of it from Jiang Li and distributed it to his relatives and friends.
Just like the hair growth drug, the slimming drug in the other world is also very effective. Although the taste is equally horrible, after drinking it, the weight will drop without any cost. One bottle of slimming drug can reduce about ten pounds of meat. If you drink a few more bottles, even a fat man weighing hundreds of pounds can restore his slim figure. After
his hair became thicker and he successfully lost weight, for a while, Jiang Li’s circle of friends could see photos of Lin Chengrui every day. But with the hot sales of hair growth drugs, those selfies quickly disappeared.
So many slimming drugs, are they all used up?
Lin Chengrui: [It's not that losing weight is too easy, if you're not careful...]
you gain weight back.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Chengrui looked at the hot midnight snack in front of him and touched his double chin that had reappeared. Every pound of extra fat on his body was not innocent.
If everyone could eat without gaining weight and lose weight painlessly, who could resist the temptation of delicious food?
If there was a magical slimming drug that could instantly slim down no matter how much weight you gained, who would care about the calories you ate?
Isn't painless weight loss great?
He continued typing: [We've been selling hair growth drugs for so long, it's time for us to launch new products. I think this slimming drug is good. Lin Chengrui
: I have done a small-scale market survey. People in my family said it was good after using it. It will definitely be very popular!
Not only is it very popular, first it was the hair growth agent, then the slimming agent. His status in the family has risen rapidly, all thanks to the women in the family's pursuit of slimming and weight loss. Now everyone sees him as closer than their own son.
Especially for middle-aged people like his mother, as they get older, their metabolism slows down, and their bodies inevitably begin to gain weight. Mother Lin eats grass and vegetarian food every day, visits beauty salons, and does Pilates, but the effect is not as good as a slimming agent.
In a similar way to the hair growth agent, Lin Chengrui also diluted the slimming agent with water, diluting one slimming agent into a month's supply, once in the morning, noon and evening. When she first received the slimming pills, Mother Lin thought her son was playing a prank, but with the successful example of hair growth pills in front of her, she drank the bitter pills with suspicion for a month, and the result was that she really lost weight every day. After a month, she had lost ten pounds even though her lifestyle had not changed at all!
Ten pounds of pork is enough to eat for many days, let alone the changes on a person. For a while, Mother Lin, who had successfully lost weight painlessly, went out to meet with her noble sisters, all with her head held high and her chest puffed out, shining brightly, and even proud in front of her mortal enemy who had never been on good terms with her.
Recently, his mother no longer diets. She arranges fried chicken, milk tea, and crayfish for herself every day. She wants to make up for the delicacies she missed in the first half of her life. Occasionally, she will have supper with him.
Fat? Don't worry, just drink another slimming pill.
With such obvious effects, the existence of slimming pills soon spread from the mouth of Lin's mother to the family group. Female elders came to ask about slimming pills. Lin Chengrui originally kept a few for himself, but they were also cleaned up by his peers.
Of course, men were not left behind.
They also have weight problems!
Of course, slimming pills only help with weight loss, not fitness. If you want abdominal muscles and vest lines, you still have to go to the gym to exercise honestly.
But the painless weight loss effect alone is enough to attract people.
Jiang Li talked with Lin Chengrui about the two drugs for a while, until he was so sleepy that he started yawning, and then he put down his phone and went to sleep. He agreed to send him a new sample of slimming drug in a few days.
Coincidentally, the next day was the monthly delivery date agreed with Morton's Pharmacy.
After going to the other world, Jiang Li put his wallet in his pocket and slowly went to the drug store.
A day has passed, and the city of Dore is still immersed in the afterglow of the celebration. Every passerby he met along the street took the initiative to greet Jiang Li. When he arrived at the door of Morton's Pharmacy, the door of the pharmacy was open, but there was no sign of the owner behind the counter.
Having been here too many times, Jiang Li shouted loudly and skillfully: "Mr. Morton, are you there?"
After a while, Morton walked out of the pharmacy production room inside.
He took off the lizard leather gloves in his hand, and there were two dark circles under his pale face. He also exuded the strange smell of medicine, which made his face look even gloomier.
"You've come just in time, Mr. Jiang Li. I was just about to deliver the goods to you." Morton took out the hair growth drugs that he had prepared long ago from behind the counter. The drugs were packed into boxes one by one, and they were full. "The goods are all here. Please check them."
Jiang Li counted the number and checked the appearance of the hair growth drugs. After confirming that they were correct, he accepted the drugs and paid the balance of this batch of drugs and the deposit for the next batch of drugs. "I need the same amount next month."
Morton: "No problem."
"Then, I want another 100 slimming pills."
Jiang Li still remembered the price of slimming pills, having bought them several times before. He counted out the money for 100 slimming pills from his wallet and handed them over together with the money for hair growth pills.
Morton still didn't ask him why he bought so many pills. After taking the gold coins, he counted them and then counted out a few gold coins and returned them.
He shook his head slowly: "I don't need so many."
Morton said: "Because of the beast tide, the prices of several raw materials for hair growth pills and slimming pills have dropped. The future costs of these two pills will be slightly lower than before."
Jiang Li suddenly realized.
"However, we don't have the slimming potion in stock at the moment. You need to come back in five days."
"Okay."
Jiang Li put the hair growth potion into his magic backpack and mailed it to Lin Chengrui after returning to Earth.
"And this." Morton took out a potion and placed it in front of him.
The potion was very beautiful, a dreamy pink, which made Jiang Li couldn't help but pick it up and look at it a few more times. "Is this also a gift?"
He has visited Morton's Pharmacy many times. Perhaps because he is a partner, every time he comes, Mr. Morton will give him a special potion as a gift. Jiang Li has already collected a lot of dangerous potions in the cabinet of his home in the other world, which are locked tightly inside.
Morton: "Yes."
He asked curiously: "What is this?" The color is pretty and it doesn't seem dangerous.
"This is a love potion." Speaking of the potion, Morton raised the corners of his mouth and showed a weird smile: "I recently found this in the literature. It's not easy to make it."
"Love..." The potion in his hand suddenly became very hot, and Jiang Li quickly put it down.
"A person who drinks the love potion will fall hopelessly in love with the first person she sees." Morton introduced slowly, and what he said sounded particularly eerie and terrifying. "However, the effect only lasts for one month. If you want to maintain this effect, you have to drink it for a long time."
Jiang Li: "..."
"After the effect of the drug disappears, all the emotions generated by the drug will also disappear, and it is easy to have the opposite effect of what you want. You might even be disliked." Morton said regretfully: "Because it caused many bad effects, it was listed as a banned drug for a period of time. Later it was cancelled, but it also became extremely rare. Because the materials are very precious and the method is very complicated, ordinary pharmacy will not sell this drug. In order to make it, I failed many times."
Jiang Li: "..."
"It's just right, Mr. Jiang Li, you are here, this drug is for you..."
Jiang Li calmly took three steps back: "No, no, no, I really don't need this."
