When Kang Shuaifu himself revealed this news, everyone was shocked and raised many questions.
Why are there problems with circulating water?
Is it really because there are toxins in the circulating water?
Is the skin problem caused by toxins or by the circulating water itself?
Was the toxin added separately?
What toxin? Where is the toxin located? Is it fruit acid poisoning?
Aren't the water purification equipment supposed to be top-notch? Why are there toxins that can't be purified?
It didn't mention toxins, but simply said that circulating water can indeed cause skin problems.
Is there any difference between the two?
Of course there's a difference. One involves actively adding toxins, while the other might be a fundamental flaw in the circulating water system.
Then I guess that's a fatal flaw. After all, it's recycled water, which is definitely different from natural water.
I remember the streamer once sold a vitamin C effervescent tablet, saying that it could make your skin great. Is that related to this circulating water?
The person upstairs really has a vivid imagination. If that's the case, then even the most luxurious liquid diamond serum is related to circulating water.
The recycled water is free; as long as it doesn't kill anyone, that's fine. Why are you asking for so much?
I agree with the comment above.
That's right, what can you expect from something that's free? As long as it quenches your thirst, that's fine.
Lai Haoren had initially wanted to tag Kang Shuaifu in the comments section to ask why he added toxins to the circulating water, intentionally causing skin problems from drinking it. However, the more he observed, the more he realized the tide was turning. Within minutes, everyone had gone from shock to understanding, and even accepted it with equanimity.
Free recycled water? That's really dangerous.
People are always more forgiving of free things. It has become a matter of course that rich people pay for natural water while poor people drink free recycled water.
Natural water shouldn't be this expensive!
Another piece of news I can share in advance is that later the official announcement will be released. Kang Shuaifu posted another exclusive comment: Due to further depletion of water resources, the price of Class V water will increase to 5,000 coins per bottle.
Compared to the previous issue of circulating water causing irregular red patches on the skin, the price increase of the five types of water is a real bombshell.
At 500 coins a bottle, many people could afford it, especially those who had watched Li Lechen's live streams earlier and had earned some money through various means, with quite a few earning over a thousand coins a day. But a tenfold increase suddenly made it a price that most ordinary people in the quarantine zone couldn't afford.
The price of Class V water has gone up, and nobody cares whether Class IV and Class III water prices have increased accordingly, because they couldn't afford Class IV and Class III water before. At most, they would use water purification tablets to purify Class V water, just to make do with the fact that they were drinking expensive water. But now, even that meager purifier has a frighteningly high starting point.
Lai Haoren hadn't even gotten over his previous outburst when Kang Shuaifu pulled another stunt, catching him completely off guard.
Yes, he could indeed devalue Class IV and Class III water by inventing water purification pills and even flooding the market with them. But he forgot that water resources are inherently scarce and monopolized resources, unlike food which can be produced indefinitely.
This kind of monopoly cannot be broken by a few water purification pills.
If Kang Shuaifu wanted to, he could sell Class V water for 50,000 or even 500,000 yuan. He could even make recycled water a paid service, so that people would still have to pay to buy it just to survive.
What a cruel reality.
For a moment, Lai Haoren felt that he would never have the chance to deal with Kang Shuaifu in his lifetime.
“There is indeed a lot of water in the exclusive area, and it is very clean. Our drinking water meets the Class I water standard,” Li Lechen suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned again.
Previously, due to the various discussions and shocks caused by Kang Shuaifu's two bullet comments, everyone forgot that they were still watching the live stream of a super-rich person in the exclusive zone.
In fact, Li Lechen had been paying attention to the comments. Kang Shuaifu's sudden increase in the price of Class V water was exactly what he expected. Water purification pills are effective in small areas, but once they become widespread, anyone with a modicum of sense would consider raising the price of Class V water.
As expected.
It's just a pity...
"It's a pity that the water in the exclusive area isn't bottled, so it's not easy to sell to the public," Li Lechen continued. "Our water is all free."
Although tap water actually costs money, and bottled water and the bottled water he drinks now cost even more, Li Lechen feels no burden at all because so much water in rivers, lakes, and seas is free.
Moreover, he is not short of money now, and if possible, supplying large quantities of Class I water to this group of people in the future would not be a big problem.
But Li Lechen didn't say that for nothing. He said that there was plenty of water in the exclusive area, and it was free. He mainly wanted to give Kang Shuaifu a heads-up.
That's right, it's a reminder.
Sure enough, Kang Shuaifu's heart clenched.
He had completely forgotten about the private area.
The exclusive zone has abundant water resources, and crucially, they're all free. The implication is that if they weren't unbottled, he could easily overwhelm everyone with that kind of water.
That being said, Li Lechen knew that the possibility was not high.
According to the smart assistant's statistics, the online store sells over 50,000 bottles of various types of natural water per day. Although they are only 200ml bottles, the total amount is still considerable. If Li Lechen were to upload 10,000 liters, or two to three thousand barrels of bottled water, to his personal store every day, it would inevitably be discovered.
It's not a big deal if people find out you buy two or three thousand bottles of water every day, the real problem is how to answer the question of where the water goes.
If the government really investigates his water meter, he'll have nowhere to seek justice.
Furthermore, 50,000 bottles is just the sales volume of natural water. The daily water consumption of the world's more than 100 million people is far more than 100 million liters. If Kangshuaifu were forced to directly charge for recycled water, then the people would truly be destitute.
Therefore, Li Lechen's purpose in saying this was simply to make Kang Shuaifu understand that his method of raising prices through resource monopoly was essentially short-sighted, since price wars are always a lose-lose situation.
Just then, a system notification popped up: "One-stop service" requests a one-on-one video chat with you.
Having learned his lesson from not heeding Lai Haoren's advice earlier, Li Lechen was naturally not going to ignore Lai Haoren's video chat request this time.
"I can provide you with compliant filling bottles!" Lai Haoren shouted excitedly as soon as the signal was connected. "Don't you have a lot of natural water there? I can make bottles, make lots and lots of bottles."
As Lai Haoren spoke, he already imagined countless bottles of Type 1 water flowing continuously from the exclusive zone to the mall. The mall was filled with inexpensive Type 1 water from the exclusive zone.
To hell with that 5,000 RMB bottle of Class V water from Kangshuaifu!
Lai Haoren truly never expected things to turn around so quickly. One second he was almost in despair, and the next second, Li Lechen brought him boundless hope.
That's right, this is the best way to break Kangshuaifu's monopoly.
Faced with Lai Haoren's excitement, Li Lechen could only say calmly, "Actually, I don't have that much water to sell. Even if you give me a lot of bottles, it won't help."
