Chapter 257: Selling Air 2

Over ninety-nine percent of netizens, upon seeing a can of air selling for three thousand, all discussed it as nothing more than a gimmick.

However, as the news spread, it also attracted the attention of some asthma patients and their families.

Hu Yujuan's father was a critically ill asthma patient; at this moment, he could no longer speak, his consciousness was blurred, and he was drowsy every day, having even developed severe hypoxemia and hypercapnia, and even respiratory spasms, making him liable to suffocate and die at any moment.

The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice and could only use a ventilator to assist with breathing, but this could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause; one couldn't just lie in a hospital bed forever living with a ventilator, could they?

Watching her father's painful state, Hu Yujuan felt as if her heart were being cut by a knife; she had already taken her father to see doctors and seek medicine at major hospitals, and had even seen some well-known old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners online, and had even tried folk remedies.

A lot of money had been spent, but none of it could cure her father's asthma, which left Hu Yujuan feeling somewhat desperate.

On this day, Hu Yujuan inadvertently saw a post in her social media feed where someone said that a person was selling Air Cans online, claiming that what was inside the can wasn't air, but Immortal Qi, and that inhaling one can would guarantee no asthma attacks for a month.

At first, Hu Yujuan did not believe that an Air Can could cure asthma, but she couldn't help but wonder, what if it really was effective?

Three thousand might not be a small sum to an ordinary person, but to Hu Yujuan, the general manager of the Hu Group, three thousand was a small sum, not even worth mentioning.

"I'll buy one to try; it's only three thousand anyway, it won't matter if it's a waste." Thinking this, Hu Yujuan bought a can of Dawu Brand Air Canned online.

On the other side, Meng Yifan continued to list Six Yang Pill, Whitening Pill, Scar Removal Pill, and Monster Meat Sausage on the shopping website.

The prices he marked for every item were astronomical, absolutely enough to make an average person think they had misread the price by two zeros.

For the three types of Pill, each one was one million per piece, and the Monster Brand Sausage and Cured Meat were divided into three grades.

The Level 1 sausage and cured meat were made from the flesh and blood of a Level 1 Demon Beast, selling for one thousand per catty.

The Level 2 sausage and cured meat were made from the flesh and blood of a Level 2 Demon Beast, selling for ten thousand per catty.

The Level 3 sausage and cured meat were made from the flesh and blood of a Level 3 Demon Beast, selling for one hundred thousand per catty.

That netizen named 'Doesn't Walk the Beaten Path' surfed the web for a while, looked back at Meng Yifan's online shop, and was so shocked that his eyes widened; after confirming he hadn't misread the price, he left a comment: "Holy crap, brother, have you gone crazy for money? What kind of sausage and cured meat do you dare to sell for one hundred thousand a catty?"

"Pork only costs a dozen or so per catty now; you've increased the price by almost ten thousand times, isn't this too exaggerated?"

Meng Yifan replied: "The things I sell are absolutely worth more than the price; if you don't believe me, buy a portion, and after you use it, you will know the benefits of the items."

"Brother, you'd better go scam someone else. I'm just a factory worker tightening screws; I work overtime until I'm sick every month, exhausted, and only earn four thousand-plus, and I still have to save money to buy a house. How could I afford such expensive sausage and cured meat?"

This netizen complained: "Brother, why don't you change your profession? Come to the factory with me to tighten screws; although it's a bit bitter and tiring, you can actually earn money, which is better than scamming people online."

"You definitely won't sell a single one of these products. Otherwise, let's make a bet: if you really sell one, I'll livestream myself doing a handstand and eating poop."

Meng Yifan smiled and ignored the netizen's advice; he just had a notification in the website backend reminding him that a netizen had placed an order for an Air Can.

"A good start." Meng Yifan felt wonderful inside; the things he was selling were definitely good things that money couldn't buy on Earth, but everything is difficult at the beginning, and making the first sale was quite hard.

Just as that 'Doesn't Walk the Beaten Path' netizen said, Meng Yifan's product prices were all very expensive, they weren't famous brands, and the sales volume was zero; any normal person wouldn't buy such products.

Meng Yifan hadn't expected a netizen to buy an Air Can so quickly; he had just listed the products online and then placed an order online to purchase the packaging bottles and filling equipment for the Air Canned.

Now that someone had placed an order, Meng Yifan hesitated for a moment, found an empty mineral water bottle, tore off the original label, and then poured the air brought from the Great Martial Heavenly Dynasty World into the mineral water bottle.

"This looks just like an empty bottle." Meng Yifan also felt it was a bit unreasonable, but the merchant he bought the packaging bottles from hadn't shipped them yet, so he could only make do with this for now.

Meng Yifan found a packing box, wrapped the mineral water bottle inside, and sent Jiang Hailong to take a helicopter back to the country to mail the box according to the address.

Meng Yifan took a screenshot of the sales volume and sent it to Doesn't Walk the Beaten Path to see if he dared to fulfill his promise and livestream eating poop.

"No way! Someone actually bought it. Brother, you didn't just find someone to fake the order, did you? That's not interesting at all." The netizen Doesn't Walk the Beaten Path wasn't prepared to fulfill his promise, and Meng Yifan couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind.

That afternoon, Hu Yujuan received the package; when she held it, she felt very angry. She often shopped online, but she had never received a product with such crude packaging.

From the outer packaging, it was very obvious that this was a shoe box that had been reused.

Hu Yujuan really wanted to refuse the delivery and return the package; after all, online shopping now allowed for returns within seven days for no reason.

As she prepared to click return, she hesitated, thinking that since it had already been sent, she might as well see what the Air Can inside was like.

But when Hu Yujuan opened the outer packaging and saw the mineral water bottle inside, she felt her intelligence had been insulted.

"This is too much. Even if you're a scammer, you should at least be professional about it. What's the point of just sending a random mineral water bottle? This is too perfunctory." Hu Yujuan's chest heaved with anger; she took out her phone, prepared to return the item, and also wanted to report the seller.

But as she prepared to click return, Hu Yujuan hesitated; if the seller were a scammer, they would at least have ordered some more formal packaging. This very perfunctory packaging actually made the seller seem unique.

"People with real ability always have eccentric temperaments. Perhaps this mineral water bottle really does contain Immortal Qi that can keep an asthma patient from having an attack for a month."

"Try it; it's only three thousand anyway, what if it's real?"

Thinking this, Hu Yujuan no longer hesitated; she brought her nose to the mouth of the mineral water bottle and opened a small gap.

"Huh!" Hu Yujuan inhaled a bit of the air from the mineral water bottle and felt a cool stream of air enter her body.
