"That's about right," Li Lechen explained. "Vitamin C is a relatively inexpensive medication here, and I recommended it because I thought it was good for the skin. Also, you only need a quarter of an effervescent tablet in a 200ml bottle of circulating water."
Once the price and purpose were explained, the live stream room erupted in cheers.
Then, Li Lechen went to put his Vitamin C effervescent tablets on the shelves.
While Vitamin C has skin-whitening effects, it's not enough to combat skin erythema caused by environmental pollution.
If this comment hadn't popped up as a dedicated comment, this assertion would easily have been lost among the numerous other comments.
But the problem is that its appearance now comes with exclusive attributes.
Although everyone knows that among the six million viewers, there are quite a few wealthy people in the safe zone, as well as permanent residents of the safe zone, they generally don't say anything.
Aside from naturally boastful individuals like Mo Longao, most permanent residents of the safe zone don't like exposing themselves in the newbie zone, especially in front of the numerous weaklings from the quarantine zone. Partly out of disdain, and partly to avoid being surrounded and attacked.
Therefore, even when they speak, they either use a secondary account or hide their ID.
But at this moment, the permanent resident of the safe zone was openly displaying his ID "Diamonds Forever," which made Li Lechen unable to resist adding the next advertising slogan.
Meng Ziran did not arrive at Li Lechen's live stream immediately. In fact, although he knew that there were super-rich people in the exclusive zone who were live streaming, he had almost never spent money to enter.
Because of Meng Ziran's business, the resources in the exclusive zone are not advantageous.
At least diamonds aren't really affected by the environment. Unless there's a particularly large diamond mine in a special zone, which still requires refining technology, the diamonds themselves are essentially useless.
But just passing by today, the platform's intelligent notification system alerted me that they were broadcasting something related to beauty.
The fact that vitamin C has a whitening effect is also mentioned in "Ten Trillion Whys," but this whitening effect is not even as obvious as that of vitamin E on the skin.
More importantly, the skin-whitening effect of taking vitamin C depends on minimizing exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays can break down vitamin C, not only failing to whiten the skin but also causing melanin deposition and making the skin darker.
Meng Ziran didn't want to say anything, because from his perspective, the streamers in this exclusive zone selling one Vitamin C effervescent tablet for one coin was no different from peddling detoxified fruit jam with absolutely no nutritional value. That little bit of Vitamin C had absolutely no beauty benefits.
But then she thought, if everyone believed in this stuff, her business might be affected too. After all, Beauty Dream Factory doesn't just sell liquid diamond essence; Meng Ziran has been involved in and monopolized all beauty and body care products—bad skin doesn't necessarily mean neglecting beauty. Starting from the same point, some people will still look better than others.
The age of judging people by their appearance has lasted for no less than five thousand years.
In fact, even animals value physical appearance more than a gentle heart when mating.
From basic skincare oils that almost everyone in the quarantine zone has a bottle of, to the liquid diamond repair essence that's all the rage in the safe zone, Meng Ziran doesn't want anyone to get involved here.
Ouyang Feng lost his permanent residency in the safe zone in just a few days because he failed to take precautions in time and made various reckless moves.
Looking back at Ouyang Feng's demise, it truly surprised many permanent residents of the safe zone. Almost overnight, private detoxification methods were exposed, and cheap detoxified jam shops sprang up one after another, quickly breaking the detoxification companies' monopoly on food. Then came the 7D printing equipment malfunction.
It is foreseeable that once Ouyang Feng loses his permanent residency in the safe zone, he will have no chance to turn things around.
Meng Ziran did not want to repeat the same mistake.
However, compared to Ouyang Feng's arrogance, Meng Ziran clearly understood her own position, and what she said was reasonable.
Li Lechen also saw this comment and responded: "Simply taking vitamin C does not have a very quick whitening effect, so my suggestion is to take one vitamin C tablet every day, along with 800 ml of circulating water."
[Did the host make a mistake? Isn't it natural water?]
Is recycled water less effective than natural water?
But not many people can afford to drink four bottles of natural water every day.
[I'm willing to put in a lot of effort for a short time to look good, but I don't know how long I need to keep at it to see results.]
It's probably the effect of natural water. I think as long as you drink natural water regularly, your skin will improve.
Aside from permanent residents of the safe zone, not many people can afford to drink tap water indefinitely.
[If it's just Class 5 water, it's not too bad, you can earn two to three thousand coins a day. Rich people can give it a try.]
[Didn't the Natural Water Company say that long-term consumption of Class V water can cause gastrointestinal discomfort? The Natural Water Company has always advocated using Class V water for watering plants, Class IV water for daily washing, and Class III water for drinking. It's better to drink recycled water than to drink Class V water all the time.]
Poverty limited my imagination.
[I simply cannot imagine the lifestyle of the super-rich]
I want to be the plant in a rich person's house.
[Selling pomegranate seedlings, 1.2 cm tall, already have two leaves and can photosynthesize, asking price 100,000 Sunshine Coins]
[The person upstairs is offering 100,000 coins for a seedling that's only 1.2 centimeters tall? Even seedlings that are 3 or 4 centimeters tall only sell for that price!]
There have been quite a few plant seedlings being resold in personal shops lately.
It seems the Green Workshop has increased its plant supply; now a single ordinary plant only costs 200,000, and its oxygen production is much higher than that of a seedling.
[Isn't the government buying up seedlings? There are plenty of seedlings now, and even selling them privately is difficult; if you wait too long, the seedlings will die, and it will be a huge loss.]
However, the official purchase price is too low; they only accept 5,000 coins for seedlings under 3 centimeters in diameter.
Five thousand coins isn't a low price, is it? How much are the seeds? And they've only been in cultivation for a few days.
I bought five seeds, and only one sprouted. However, the streamer refunded me for the other four, so I actually made a profit.
[Weren't we talking about beauty? What does this have to do with plants?]
[I thought we were debating the issue of recycled water versus natural water, when did we get onto the topic of beauty?]
That's the downside of having too many viewers. Even if Li Lechen wanted to explain immediately when someone raised a question, the comments could completely steer the conversation away from the topic in just a few seconds.
Fortunately, we made it back.
So he said, "What I'm talking about is indeed circulating water. Adding my Vitamin C effervescent tablets to the circulating water and drinking it every day can help fade redness and improve skin complexion. As for natural water, those who can afford it can certainly use natural water, but you can first buy the water purification pills produced by 'One-Stop Solution Company.' The effect of those water purification pills is similar to that of the water purifiers I sold before, and they are more convenient and affordable."
