Then, there should be something else to do, right?
"Is there anything else you need to tell me? All you need to do is specify the water source, and the mall will handle everything else."
"You don't even need to ask me about the price?"
"The package includes the priced service."
"Could it be set at one million coins per bottle?" Li Lechen couldn't help but sarcastically ask. After all, according to the mall's previous standards, a bottle of Class 1 water would cost at least one million coins. For example, a bottle of Kang Shuaifu's Class 3 water cost five hundred thousand.
To everyone's surprise, the sales assistant looked displeased and said, "Are you questioning the quality of our package service? Of course, it's not priced at one million!"
"Is it priced at one hundred yuan?"
"Why do you think that?" the sales associate asked rhetorically.
"How would I know? You didn't explain it clearly. If it's not a million, then it's a hundred dollars."
"Dear customer, this is an insult to the service quality worth 20 million Sunshine Coins." The sales assistant's tone was clearly angry, but she still explained seriously, "After careful calculation, combined with the water source quantity you provided, the demand for Class I water based on big data statistics, and considering everyone's spending power and the current economic situation, we have decided to price Class I water at 250 coins per bottle."
"Pfft—" Li Lechen almost spat out blood, "Your pricing and service are really ridiculous!"
However, it's clear that the salesperson's dictionary doesn't have a specific definition for "250," so "250" simply means "standard 250," nothing more.
Fortunately, Li Lechen wouldn't buy the first-class water himself, so let others be idiots.
So, Li Lechen really didn't do anything after that, and in less than ten minutes, 50 million bottles of Class I water were on the shelves.
Fifty million bottles of water, each 200 ml, were bottled in a short period of time, totaling 10,000 tons and 10,000 cubic meters of water. If this water had been taken from the school's small pond, it would have dried up long ago. If they had used tap water, dormitory 405 would have been in serious trouble with the government's water meter inspection.
Fortunately, it was taken directly from Meixi Reservoir.
Although Meixi Reservoir isn't a large reservoir, the removal of 10,000 cubic meters of water only caused a slight drop in the water level. With the recent rainy weather, the water will quickly rise again.
Just like the satiety pills, Li Lechen's Type I water was met with a frenzy of promotion from the mall's sales staff as soon as it hit the shelves. When wealthy customers wanted to buy a bar of cleaning soap, the sales staff would first try to sell them Type I water, using all sorts of persuasive and forceful tactics. Given that Type I water was more practical than the satiety pills, and its price of 250 was very affordable, Mo Longao bought 100,000 bottles at once, planning to not only drink it but also use it for washing his face, brushing his teeth, and showering.
Lin Sen even ordered one million bottles of Class I water in one go.
Therefore, it took ten minutes for 50 million bottles of Class I water to be put on the shelves, and it also took ten minutes for them to sell out.
Therefore, after Li Lechen had just finished using the restroom, he was told by the mall's sales assistant that he needed to pay another 500 million yuan to put the next batch of Class I water on the shelves.
The sales volume of the first batch was 12.5 billion yuan, so Li Lechen didn't even blink an eye when it came to paying the service fee of 500 million yuan for the next batch.
For the poor, earning even a single dollar is difficult; for the rich, acquiring 12.5 billion is a matter of ten minutes.
So those terms like "small goals" and "medium-term goals" really do mean that.
Moreover, although only 50 million bottles of the first-class water were sold in just ten minutes, the mall's aggressive marketing and the fact that people around the world were lining up to buy Lin Sen's discounted natural oxygen at one coin per bottle made it known to everyone that the mall sold 250 coins worth of first-class water in those ten minutes.
Fearing that a significant drop in water levels in the Meixi Reservoir in a short period would attract the attention of relevant departments, Li Lechen changed the reservoir when designating the water source for the second time.
With such a large map and so many reservoirs, taking turns to come each time is like not just picking from one sheep, so the psychological burden of stealing water quickly disappears.
There were so many things to do that day. The sixth batch of 50 million bottles of Class I water went on the shelves, and finally, it wasn't selling out in just a few minutes or ten minutes anymore. Li Lechen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Many people made a fortune on this day.
Chen Xiang is certainly one of them, with assets of five or six hundred billion yuan, easily placing him in the top thirty.
Li Lechen is another example, with assets exceeding 100 billion yuan, second only to Lin Sen.
Lin Sen's personal account originally held only 50 to 60 billion yuan in assets because he controlled the quantity of plants sold. But today, with the sale of tens of billions of bottles of natural oxygen, his assets have exceeded 10 trillion yuan.
The natural oxygen that the Green Workshop has stockpiled for over a century is far more than hundreds of billions of cubic meters. The amount of natural oxygen sold today is truly just a drop in the ocean.
Lin Sen suddenly realized that even if the price of natural oxygen was as low as one coin per bottle, as long as people all over the world bought it, the sales volume would be terrifying.
From a money-making perspective, it's much better than selling plants.
Furthermore, if the number of plants in the Green Workshop doesn't decrease due to sales, it will increase through proper cultivation, leading to a greater supply of natural oxygen. Meanwhile, Kang Shuaifu, who also rose to the top of the Sunshine Rich List by selling resources, has a lake with a storage capacity of tens of billions of cubic meters, but the water in it will only decrease.
That's right. Apart from the contaminated areas occupied by the Pollution Beasts, there are no other water resources left in the quarantine and safe zones where humans can legally live on Earth. Once these are used up, there is no other way out but to declare war on the Pollution Beasts.
No one bothers to investigate the genetic leak that swept the globe more than a thousand years ago. Not only because those who might know the reasons are no longer alive, but also because even if they did, it would be pointless.
Originally intended to improve human genes and make humans smarter, it has instead brought unprecedented disaster to humanity.
The result of that accident was not that humans turned into monsters, but that other creatures besides humans evolved rapidly.
And so, in just a few decades, everything changed.
Humans could no longer domesticate pigs and sheep, because they not only became as intelligent as humans, possessing their own language systems and capable of establishing their own empires, but also, due to certain unique physiological structures, were more powerful in combat than humans. Humans were defeated, and most were domesticated by pigs and sheep, their fate naturally becoming food on their plates.
Humans can't even kill cockroaches casually anymore, because cockroaches have not only become huge, like a duck, but also become incredibly powerful due to their large numbers, rapid movements, ability to crawl and fly.
Even ants, even if their size remains unchanged, but they become intelligent, humans are helpless against them.
All living things on Earth are now truly equal.
Humans have lost all their advantages on Earth and become just one of countless species.
Perhaps because they believe they once dominated the Earth, they are unwilling to coexist with humans, even though other species can live in harmony with each other.
Therefore, the final result is that most areas of the Earth are occupied by highly evolved organisms, while the remaining humans, with their incomplete technological civilization, cling to the last bit of natural and genetic resources and huddle in a corner.
This is the true story of the quarantine zone and the safe zone.
