CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 61: I WILL SECRETLY WORK HARD [REQUESTING MONTHLY TICKETS]_3

As a loyal fan of the Yuanyuan series—although she’s only ever bought the Cleaning Circle and the Big Rain Circle—Yu Lian has been thoroughly conquered by these two alone.

These days, she pays close attention to the shop’s updates, and when Taotao Treasure’s store was rebranded as the high-end Hanqi Intelligent Home Official Flagship Store, she instantly tuned into the live broadcast of the launch event.

She was immediately stunned by the outrageous prices!

Cleaning Circle, official price 15,999 yuan.

Raincoat, official price 3,999.

There are also two new products—

Nanometer Oral Cleaning Ball, priced at 9,999.

Household Assistant, 19,999.

These capitalists are utterly ruthless!

Yu Lian nervously fished out her Cleaning Circle and Big Rain Circle—oh no, now the official name is "Raincoat"—from her bag, and suddenly felt as if she had become part of the wealthy class.

A coworker’s chair swiveled over, and their eyes were glued to her hands, their tone so sour it might just squeeze out lemon juice.

"Xiao Lian, you’re really lucky."

"Buying it back then was such a steal, now it’s so expensive, sigh..."

Yu Lian angrily cursed: "This is clearly the capitalists wanting to fleece us after the acquisition, setting the price so high, I won’t be fooled!"

But deep inside she thought: Indeed, I do feel like my luck is too good, oh my, these are some divine products!

Looking again at the two new products below.

The Nanometer Oral Cleaning Ball comes with a smart cleaning box.

You only need to hold the cleaning ball in your mouth while brushing your teeth, and within 30 seconds, the nano-robots will clean every corner of your teeth thoroughly, including the tongue coating.

Meanwhile, the small box accompanying the cleaning ball has an absorption ability to ensure that if a child unconsciously swallows, the box’s suction will prevent the scattered nano-robots from entering the throat.

Furthermore, after using the cleaning ball, you simply rinse it and return it to the box where its self-cleaning, sterilization, and disinfection functions keep it pristine.

This item, 9,999.

A coworker cursed nearby: "They must be crazy for money."

"Aren’t they though,"

Yu Lian agreed.

"Nowadays, a smart toothbrush is only one or two hundred yuan, this sells for 10,000, and every family member needs one... who can afford it?"

Though it’s guaranteed for life, and the brushing effect is so good and convenient, reducing everyone’s chances of visiting the dentist...

But, that’s not how the cost is calculated.

As she spoke, she added the items to her cart.

"I’m just adding them, I won’t pay..."

Then she looked at the Household Assistant.

—A gel-like mass measuring just 10 centimeters in length, width, and height, once activated, it quickly unfolds, moving and enveloping every object in its path.

Walls, floors, door gaps, cabinets, drawers...

As it flows, it sweeps all the trash away without displacing any original item.

At the launch, a tall bookshelf was presented in front of everyone, and the Household Assistant slipped through the cabinet door gap and gently enveloped each book...

After cleaning, if you pull out any book, not a speck of dust falls off, and the inside of the cabinet is spotless, as if freshly washed and waxed.

This thing costs 20,000 yuan.

Is it expensive?

Yes.

From a technological and long-term practical point of view, is it expensive?

No.

Yu Lian’s heart bled.

She thought, I won’t buy it, my house is small, my mom loves to clean, I don’t need it...

But her fingers couldn’t stop twitching.

By the time she realized, her 50,000-yuan savings were already on the brink of collapse—

One Household Assistant, three Nanometer Oral Cleaning Balls, all paused on the final payment page.

This is half a year’s savings!

Yu Lian instantly let go—could she really splurge so impulsively? They might run a promotion later on...

This thought kept flashing through her mind as Yu Lian tried to persuade herself, but then her coworker exclaimed:

"Ah, how is it already sold out?"

Instinctively, Yu Lian’s hand moved like lightning!

Before she realized it, the big "completed" sign appeared on the payment page, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning her head, her coworker’s resentful gaze fell on her.

"You’re so sneaky, saying you don’t want it, but occupying the payment page over there... I would’ve gotten it otherwise."

Yu Lian: "..."

At that moment, she was painfully elated, not knowing whether to celebrate becoming lucky again or mourn the loss of her money.

...

Little Brother also paid attention to the launch event, and he drew a sharp breath at the prices.

"Sis, how much did you sell our invention for? Was the price set too high? How can these people dare to ask for such prices in business?"

Chu River glanced at it and immediately realized her previous 4,999 pricing was too conservative.

However, in today’s society, such items are worth this price. Otherwise, all 100,000 units wouldn’t have sold out so quickly.

But Big Sister’s prestige couldn’t waver.

So she composedly said, "You don’t understand? This was the original price I set."

Little Brother’s gaze changed when he looked at her.

After all, Little Brother used to see Big Sister, now it’s a worker looking at a merciless capitalist, a completely different concept.

...

The pricing of the Cleaning Circle series truly stirred another wave of internet buzz.

But Hanqi Company’s marketing was just too good, with too much goodwill built up, plus their donations were genuine...

Most importantly, the products were absolutely worth the money.

Therefore, although many cursed online, when it came to placing orders, those with financial means did not hesitate.

After all, all four items together can fit into a regular commuter bag, where wouldn’t they be needed?

It’s needed at home, no worries on trips about inconvenient toiletries, unsanitary hotel linens, and after exhausting overtime, no longer coming home to a dog’s den of a room in disarray...

Just as everyone’s excitement was peaking, and hands already swift in the first wave of payments, these items were once again sold out at the perfect time...

Ultimately, when it comes to fleecing, true capitalists are most skilled.

What Chu River and Little Yellow played with before were just the basics.

...

As this wave of frenzy gradually calmed down, Chu River chose a good day and opened the livestream room accordingly.

No other reason, just idle, planning to make the world’s female protagonist a bit uncomfortable.

After all, judging by the reply from Little Sparrow that night, Qin Manman’s tactic of retreating to advance not only enlarged the team’s internal conflicts but also made the core team member Lu Ran increasingly dissatisfied.

If Hu Sisi messes up a bit more next, it would be only natural for her to replace her.

All drone technology, aiming to score well in machine competitions, she ups her game.

Chu River adjusted the camera.

"Keep dreaming."

As for the other team members, while they are hardworking, they sadly lack strategic minds.

Chu River looked at her workstation, which could only be steadily controlled by spiritual power, and realized using spiritual power under the live camera wasn’t suitable...

It’s time to add a few assistants.

...

Gourd Livestream.

Chu Fa Da flipped the switch with a marketing title: [Black Technology Not Inferior to the Cleaning Circle, Like 666, Prize Draw Upon Liking]

Then he applied some minor tactics, positioning his stream in the top three of the unobtrusive "New Live Today" recommendation column for basic exposure.

This straightforward stream title, even without recommendations, still attracted two bored wanderers as soon as it started.

Yet the first barrage when they entered was:

"By liking 666 can we win a Cleaning Circle? Major bloggers don’t necessarily have stock, can you?"
