Chapter 118: A Sudden Drop in Temperature

Cheng Ruoxi also happened to see the two characters "plant" on the Interstellar rankings today, and subconsciously felt it was just someone or other hyping things up again.

Those out-of-print ancient plants are dragged out by them to be paraded around every now and then.

This seems to have become a habitual propaganda tactic for those few capital groups to manipulate the public.

It is the kind of thing that makes anyone who sees it unable to help but sneer.

However, looking further down, there were several trending searches about plants.

She had originally intended to see if there were any trending searches for her brother, but ended up clicking in on a whim.

She didn't expect there to be a link to a Live Broadcast Room.

She decided to just go all the way and click in to see what kind of trick they were pulling.

If it couldn't satisfy her and was just more false advertising, she would definitely rally her girl friends to roast them to death!

As a result, the moment she clicked in, her legs almost went weak, and she slumped to the floor.

Her eyes even forgot to blink, staring unblinkingly and intently at everything in the Live Broadcast Room before her.

She wished she could imprint it all into her brain.

What on earth is all this!

Are these plants?

Are they really all plants?

She became more and more excited the more she watched, especially when this shop listed food made from them; her heart was about to jump out.

Then, relying on the speed she had honed over so many years of chasing stars and snatching up merchandise, she managed to snag a Boxed Meal.

When she saw the payment successful interface, she was stunned.

She actually managed to snatch one?

With trembling hands, she opened the box in front of her, and in an instant, that aroma overflowed—a strange, extraordinary aroma that conquered her immediately.

She couldn't move a step.

She couldn't wait to open it and start tasting.

She didn't want to say a single extra word; for every extra word she said, she would eat one less mouthful of food!

Until she shoveled the last grain of rice into her mouth, she immediately opened her Light Brain and began to frantically post her thoughts on the meal.

【My god, my god, my god.】

【If you knew what I just ate, you would also think I'm lucky.】

【Food made from plants, have you ever eaten it? You probably haven't even seen it!】

【Sob sob sob, I love it to death, help, this is all what I deserve! Deserved!】

【Those who don't understand the goodness of plants, you are in trouble.】

Dozens of various flowery praises in a row almost flooded the screen.

It blew people away; she didn't know if there were any people who were actually influenced by her, as they were mostly fellow star-chasing fans.

She just had to vent her emotions first.

But, she still managed to get the name of Rehuohu Meishidian out there a bit.

Some people were unconvinced.

【I want to see if this thing is really as delicious as they say.】

【Could it be paid shills?】

【In this day and age, have paid shills reached here too?】

【No way, no way, this account looks like it has a pretty high level!】

【It shouldn't be, I just went to search, and now many people on the Light Brain are praising this food made from plants!】

【Is it for real???】

【But why are all the items in this shop gone?】

There was quite a lot of news about Rehuohu Meishidian on the Light Brain.

Compared to the netizens' discussions, the major merchants were truly anxious.

The impact of plants appearing on their products was just too great; if these plants were to appear in large quantities, then what the hell would their companies do!

Almost at the same time, all the Nutrient Solution companies were holding meetings on how to solve this current predicament.

It would be even better if they could reach a cooperation with the owner of this Rehuohu Meishidian.

Then their company could be said to have directly ascended!

Ascended!

At the same time, there was another shop that was equally anxious and frustrated.

Compared to the unknown predicament of those Nutrient Solution companies, their current predicament was even more imminent.

They were the shop where Ruan Mian had previously bought her boxed meal.

"What is going on?!"

The owner of this shop slammed something onto the desk with a bang.

"Did you or did you not go to contact them? Why is there still no reply?!"

Seeing their boss's incompetent rage, the customer service representative still couldn't help but shrink back.

She only felt it was an unmerited disaster!

If it weren't for the sake of making a living, who would want to work in this dying, trashy shop!

Not to mention the low wages, there was also so much work.

Besides, this whole situation was brought on by the boss himself.

He thought the other party was easy to manipulate, raising prices like his life depended on it, and now look, he's driven them away.

They aren't buying anymore.

The boss previously thought this deal was a guaranteed profit with huge potential, and even placed an additional order.

Now it's a mess; not only is the stock in the warehouse sitting idle, but he's also stuck with a new batch of goods on hand.

He can't make the money back; it's a total loss.

The expression on the boss's face has grown more anxious and gloomy by the day, beyond any remedy.

For the first two days, he could still put on airs, just waiting for Ruan Mian to come and beg him for a partnership.

As it turned out, not only did she not turn back, she went straight off five miles away.

He really played himself, didn't he!

Especially after learning that what the other party had in her hands were plants, that feeling of regret climbed straight to its peak.

It went viral on the Light Brain!

The follower count was visibly rising every second; the growth rate was simply terrifying.

Only then did the boss realize what a massive cornucopia he had lost!

"Boss, I've already contacted her, I sent many private messages, but they all keep showing as unread, I also..."

Boom—another loud noise from a heavy object slamming onto the desk.

It scared the customer service representative so much that they didn't dare say another word.

Their eyes turned red instantly.

"Useless trash, if you can do the job, do it; if not, get out!"

The young girl in customer service had never endured such treatment, so she immediately packed her things and left.

This boss still doesn't know that his bad luck is yet to come.

What awaits him later is a lawsuit from the little customer service representative.

When Ruan Mian received the things Lu Yi sent her, she stared at them in a daze.

She could understand the bracelet, but this ring, as thick as a bull's nose ring and so large—is it a necklace?

And there's another thing that looks like a headband, topped with a huge light bulb; is it really meant to be worn on one's head?

Lu Yi really is a stereotypical, oblivious man!

"Don't worry, I will protect myself well. Don't worry about me, take good care of yourself."

As for those things, uh, forgive her for not having a thick enough skin.

"About that, thanks for the things, they're very well-made, but don't make any more next time; I'll just wear the bracelet."

Before waiting for Lu Yi's reply, Ruan Mian felt a shadow fall over her side.

Immediately following was a touch of softness.

When Ruan Mian turned her head to look, she met a pair of somewhat gentle eyes.

"Huo Junze, why..."

In his hands was a very thick piece of clothing.

She was very confused.

Huo Junze pointed toward the sky.

"There's going to be a major temperature drop."
