Chapter 58
A few days later, Morton delivered 100 slimming pills as promised.
When receiving the goods, Jiang Li signed a magic contract with him again, agreeing to provide slimming pills every month in the following days, and increase the amount depending on future sales.
After returning to the modern era, Jiang Li sent the 100 slimming pills to Lin Chengrui first, and started large-scale supply after the next batch of pills was boiled out.
So, soon, a strange poster appeared in many people's circle of friends.
The company that sold hair growth drugs has started selling slimming pills again!
When everyone saw this poster at first, they didn't take it seriously. They thought that a three-no micro-business had sneaked into their circle of friends. They were about to drag the person into the blocked list, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.
This, this, this...isn't this the company that sold hair growth drugs before?
Lin Chengrui's circle of friends are mostly former classmates, friends, and business partners. They are also the first batch of customers of hair growth drugs. When everyone saw the name clearly, they subconsciously touched their thick heads.
Not to mention, no matter whether this weight loss drug is real or not, the hair growth drug is really good to use.
Since the hair growth drug is real, is the weight loss drug also real?
Maintaining a skeptical attitude, everyone clicked on the poster doubtfully. After seeing the content inside, the suspicion not only did not decrease, but increased.
When Jiang Li opened the roommate group, he saw Lin Chengrui being tagged crazily in it.
[@Lin Chengrui, is this drug real or fake? 】
【You don’t have to do anything, just eat normally and you can lose weight? ? 】
【Ruizi, calm down, the hair growth medicine is selling well, don’t think too much! 】
【It’s not that we don’t believe you, but your promotion... is very outrageous! 】
The roommates advised earnestly in the group: 【Just sell your hair growth medicine well, it has such a good reputation now, I recommend it to my relatives and friends every day. 】
【@Jiang Li, you come and persuade too! 】
Jiang Li: "..."
Jiang Li thought: I’m sorry, in fact, he is a partner.
Part of the money from selling weight loss medicine will go into his pocket.
Perhaps because of the crazy bombardment from many people, Lin Chengrui was tagged for a long time before he finally climbed up: 【It’s true! It’s true! It's absolutely true! 】
Lin Chengrui: [I have tried it myself, and the effect is amazing! ]
Really?
The roommates vaguely remembered that there was a period of time before, they often saw this guy's selfies in their circle of friends. He was much thinner than when he graduated from college. Thinking about the business activities he attended, the videos he left also proved that Lin Chengrui had lost weight before.
Although he is fat again now, didn't he lose weight before?
Could it be... that kind of weight loss medicine is really useful?
Such doubts also exist everywhere on the Internet.
The company that used the hair growth medicine that was very useful before has launched a new product. People who have used hair growth medicine have all become curious. After seeing the content of the new product, they all fell silent and had the same doubts.
Throughout history, there have been many scams about slimming pills, and weight loss has been a topic that has troubled people for a long time. What's more, the poster said something so outrageous, that you can lose weight just by eating and not moving? When did losing weight become so easy?
But... when the hair growth drug was first launched, they seemed to have seen the same exaggerated posters and had the same doubts. But in the end, they were the ones who were slapped in the face.
Out of trust in the hair growth drug, when the slimming drug was listed on the purchase platform, many people still clicked to buy it.
Internet celebrity blogger Zhang Shu was also one of the people who bought the slimming drug.
But his purpose of buying slimming drugs was not to lose weight, but to fight against counterfeiting.
Because he had a lot of hair, he had never bought hair growth drugs, and he was skeptical about the hair growth drugs that were popular on the Internet, and he always firmly believed that it was a scam. Unexpectedly, after the hair growth drugs, this company actually launched an even more outrageous product.
Slimming drugs!
And the propaganda was also very outrageous. Just drink their products to lose weight, no need for exercise or dieting, even if you eat high-calorie foods every day.
Zhang Shu was almost amused by this glaring IQ tax.
So, as one of the first customers to buy slimming drugs, he specially shot a video for this and started a live broadcast.
Isn't it said that eating and drinking normally every day, even eating high-calorie foods every day, can also help you lose weight? Well, then he will live broadcast eating fried chicken and drinking milk tea every day, five meals a day!
"Look everyone, this is the weight loss drug I just bought, it's a month's supply." Facing the camera of the live broadcast, Zhang Shu first weighed himself, and then took out the fried chicken takeaway he had ordered in advance, "This is the anchor's lunch today. In order to verify the effect of this weight loss drug, in the next week, the anchor will live broadcast his daily routine from morning to night, and ensure that under everyone's supervision, he will definitely not eat less and move more."
Zhang Shu already has a lot of fans on the Internet, and with the popularity of the slimming drug, as soon as his live broadcast was released, countless viewers immediately poured into the live broadcast room. Passersby joined in the excitement, eager to see the anti-counterfeiting scene immediately.
Zhang Shu himself is obese and has a large appetite. He usually does not restrict his diet and consumes high-calorie foods every day. Now, for the live broadcast, he eats and drinks as much as he wants. So, in the next week, he ate a lot every day within the range of the live camera, drank the slimming drug according to the instructions, and did not even turn off the camera when sleeping to ensure the authenticity of the evaluation.
The live broadcast has a high traffic volume and the food is delicious. The only problem is... this slimming drug is really unpalatable!
When Zhang Shu drank it for the first time, his face turned green and he almost vomited it in front of the entire live broadcast room audience.
There were so many contents about hair growth drugs on the Internet before. While praising its effectiveness, it was also described as unpalatable. But just reading the text is not as terrifying as experiencing it in person.
Drinking it three times a day, morning, noon and night, he felt like he was half dead. If he hadn't been stared at by the audience in the live broadcast room and watched the popularity increase day by day, he would have almost given up.
If he had the willpower to taste this horrible taste for a month, wouldn't it be better for him to lose weight on his own?
In short, a week later, in front of everyone, Zhang Shu stood on the scale again.
The camera focused on the number on the scale and compared it with his weight a week ago. After a few seconds, Zhang Shu began to doubt his life.
He left the scale and weighed himself again. No matter how many times he repeated it, the number on it did not change.
No change!
Not only did his weight not increase, but he also lost a few tenths of a pound!
Although it was only a few tenths of a pound, it was far from the ten pounds lost in a month as advertised, but in the previous week, his daily calorie intake was very high. Under normal circumstances, his weight would only increase and not decrease, but now... he lost weight? !
Zhang Shu did not give up, but no matter how many scales he changed, the results were still the same.
He looked at the remaining slimming pills in disbelief.
No, this sounds like a waste of money, are you serious?!
In the live broadcast room, the audience was also full of questions.
[?????????]
[It must be fake, the anchor eats fried eggs, cakes and milk tea every day, and he has lost weight?]
[Is the anchor hired by someone else?]
[I reported it, you said you would do a live broadcast to fight fakes, but you faked it first. I have been following you for so long, and I am so disappointed!]
[I saw it with my own eyes every day this week...]
The comments in the live broadcast room were swiped up so fast that it was almost impossible to see the content. There were endless curses, and countless people, like Zhang Shu, fell into doubt about the world.
Zhang Shu gritted his teeth and looked at the camera again: "Next, the anchor will broadcast live for another week. In the next week, I will use the original lifestyle, not dieting, not exercising more, and not deliberately overeating, to see what the real effect of this weight loss drug is."
He didn't believe it.
Will the IQ tax come true one day?
In the next week, Zhang Shu continued to broadcast live, but returned to his original lifestyle and did not overeat like the previous week. However, he was originally a fat man, so his lifestyle was naturally not very healthy, and he still didn't stop drinking fried chicken milk tea. At the same time, he continued to drink slimming drugs three times a day.
Zhang Shu found out with a smile: after drinking too much of that horrible taste, other normal foods seemed to become particularly delicious!
This time, he didn’t compare like before, but weighed himself every day. So, everyone in the live broadcast room found that although the anchor ate the same amount every day, his weight was decreasing at a steady rate.
After a week, he lost a full four pounds!
Damn it!
[?????????]
[Is it fake????]
[How could he really lose weight?]
[If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have suspected that the burgers and milk tea the anchor ate were fake!]
Not to mention the audience, even Zhang Shu himself was scared.
He thought more, some diseases seem to make people lose weight rapidly in a short period of time, could he have a terminal illness?!
So, Zhang Shu rushed to the hospital for a full body check-up.
He had just had a physical examination last month, and except for some high indicators, there was nothing wrong with the report. This time he went for another physical examination, the report was no different from the last time, and there was no disease he imagined.
In other words, he really lost three pounds.
Absurd! It's really too outrageous!
When did eating fried chicken help you lose weight? !
Where is the science? The materialism that he had been firmly convinced of since childhood is about to be overturned!
At the same time, such things are happening all over the country.
After using the slimming drugs according to the instructions, customers who bought the slimming drugs were surprised to find that their weight really dropped. Even after an indulgent diet, it would not affect their figure, and they lost weight without causing any harm to their bodies.
There are many people like Zhang Shu who bought the drugs to fight against counterfeiting, and in the end they all said that they were really good. After Zhang Shu's live broadcast ended, he compiled it into a video and released it, which was forwarded to major social platforms, arousing the curiosity of countless people.
First it was a hair growth drug, and then a slimming drug. It sounds like the effects are more outrageous than the other, and more like an IQ tax than the other, but they are all real, and the effects are amazing.
What they are selling is not a hair growth drug or a weight loss drug, it is simply magic!
This kind of magical magic... Of course, you buy it!
Soon, after the first wave of users' feedback, the sales of slimming drugs quickly reached a peak.
...
While the sales of slimming drugs continued to rise, there was a real magical world.
The capital. The palace.
The soldiers rode fast horses and finally delivered the news to His Majesty the King after several days.
"Beast attack?"
Seeing the content of the official document, the face of the king in his prime was frightened, and his eyes quickly moved down to take in the content behind.
Unexpectedly, there was no regretful or sad content on it. The result was unbelievably good, as if a person had a beautiful dream.
"Stopped by a magician and an elf?"
His Majesty was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but start over from the beginning. An unprecedented monster riot broke out in a monster-infested forest very close to Dore City, but before it got close to the city-state, it was stopped by a magician and an elf. After the accident, there were no casualties in Dore City, and almost no losses.
The majestic king looked at the key points mentioned in the document: "... Two magicians?"
When did the kingdom have such a powerful magician who could stop the terrifying beast tide by himself?
Jiang Li? An unfamiliar name.
Elf? When did elves take the initiative to approach humans? Don't they all live deep in the Elf Forest and rarely walk on the mainland?
Suddenly, the king thought of something and looked at the court magician standing under the throne: "Leon, if I remember correctly, not long ago, you were defeated by a magician who came to challenge you." The
great magician Leon, who was called by name, stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"How strong is he."
"Very powerful. Even if another hundred years pass, I may not be his opponent."
"Is that an elf?"
"Yes, that is an elf."
"What's his name?" The king looked at the document. Elves love peace and are proficient in magic. Few elves are so warlike. Maybe it's the same one.
Sure enough, I heard Leon say, "Messenal. Your Majesty, his name is Messenal."
Sure enough, it's the same one.
That elf magician is now in Dore City. Did he help stop the beast tide?
It's really rare that there are elves who take the initiative to help humans.
The king's eyes stayed on another name.
The king asked, "Who is this Jiang Li?"
Another official said, "He is the owner of the supermarket."
"Supermarket? What is a supermarket?" The king thought, "I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
"The supermarket is a store from Dolei City. Not long ago, it opened in the commercial street of the royal capital, selling products such as shower gel, shampoo, etc. The recently popular thing called a small fan also comes from this store."
When this was mentioned, the king also remembered.
In fact, he was also one of the beneficiaries of the supermarket. Thinking of the shower gel and shampoo he usually used, the king touched his neatly trimmed beard. After using the products of the supermarket, his beard was smoother than before, and the queen had praised him many times.
Thinking of this, the king took out a small fan given to him by the queen from his pocket, pressed the switch, and the blades began to spin, blowing a cool breeze towards him and blowing away the summer heat.
He looked again at the official document that recorded in detail the passage of the beast tide.
Jiang Li?
When has such a strong person appeared among humans who can join forces with powerful elves to repel the terrifying beast tide?
