In Shi Xi's fan page, there was a great deal of worry.
Fans are worried that poor sales will upset the sponsors.
After all, this thing is so expensive.
Coolride created a single link for Shi Xi and gave fans exclusive coupons: 200 off for purchases over 2000, and the first 2,000 fans received limited edition Shi Xi merchandise, including Shi Xi postcards, photocards, keychains, and a quicksand mahjong set.

When Ji Yin, the fan leader, saw that so many merchandise items had been given away, she decided to buy two more game consoles.
I'll play with one myself, and give the other two to friends.
I'll collect all the extras myself.
Ji Yin happily clicked on the link: 【Shi Xi's Style】Kulaide VR Gaming Glasses
Just as she was about to claim the coupon and make a purchase, Ji Yin checked the sales figures again.
The link just opened at 10 AM, so the sales should be 0.
But now, sales have already reached 1,000!
Ji Yin: ?!
Only the top 2k players get merchandise!
Ji Yin quickly placed an order for three items, afraid that she would miss out on the merchandise.
After making the payment, come back and refresh the page.
Sales volume: 1800+.
Ji Yin glanced at the time in the upper right corner.
Only one minute has passed!
Refresh the page again.
Sales volume: 2,000+.
Ji Yin began to feel sorry for the fans who didn't manage to get into the first 2,000.
Clicking into the Weibo super topic, I saw fans crying their eyes out.
[Waaaaah, didn't you guys say you didn't have any money? Why didn't I even get one of the first 2k?! My merchandise, my postcards, my photocards, my XiXi, waaaaah!]
[The sales volume was 100 before payment, but it jumped to 2,000 after payment. Xi's dad is awesome!]
[I'm so upset, I don't know if I'm in the top 2k, what should I do? Should I ask customer service?]
I was hoping to happily become a whale (spending money on in-game purchases), but all my girlfriends are richer than me. I'm so depressed.
[What the hell happened? I just went to make a coffee, and the first 2,000 items are all gone?! Limited edition merchandise too??]
Ji Yin leaned back on the sofa, thinking happily that she was lucky she was quick.
The supertopic was filled with cries of despair.
There are even people who buy limited edition merchandise at high prices.
While deleting posts, Ji Yin warned her fans against private transactions.
There are so many scammers in the fan community!
Seeing sales soaring, Ji Yin thought for a moment and posted a giveaway on Weibo.
Those who purchase after 2,000 sales can participate in a lucky draw by providing a screenshot of their order; three winners will receive 520 RMB.
The fans were happy again.
They all participated enthusiastically.

Besides fans, haters are also paying attention to Shi Xi's endorsements.
Seeing that so many had been sold, the haters instantly lost their temper.
Douban Group:
[Are all of Shi Xi's fans elementary school students? Did they steal money to buy game consoles?]
"Hilarious! Stop worrying about your dad, did you mess up your push?"
"Stealing something worth 2999? How poor is the poster?"
"If you don't have money, go make some. Stop posting sour comments."
"It's easy to spread rumors, but first show the evidence. Which fan stole money? Huh??"
Arguments can smear someone's innocence without any evidence.
Fans won't tolerate these haters.
They even opened a building to celebrate:
[Congratulations to the beautiful Shi Xi for surpassing 4,000 single-link sales and 10 million RMB in revenue!! We're giving away five cups of milk tea!]
When ordinary netizens see this, they all come in and comment.
"Congratulations, beautiful lady! Shixi Business is really strong! No wonder all the big spenders love it."
"Wow, your fans are so rich! Congratulations, beautiful lady!"
“dd”.
But some people still nitpick: "Didn't fans get a discount when they bought it? A 200-200 coupon, so the price should be 2799. If they also got other coupons, member discounts, and credits, they could buy it for 2600."
[At a unit price of 2600, that's just over 100 million units.]
"Who can buy it for 2600? I spent 2799 and thought I made a profit."
"Stop jumping around, haters! Sales have already surpassed 5,000. Even if your dad cuts a few hundred thousand, the sales revenue will still exceed ten million!"
