Chapter 48: A Sharp 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, several trending searches about plants appeared.

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

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

She decided to just go for it and click in to see what kind of trick they were pulling.

If it couldn't satisfy her, or if it 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 onto the floor.

Her eyes even forgot to blink, staring fixedly and motionlessly 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 merchandise, she managed to grab a Boxed Meal.

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

She actually managed to grab one just like that?

Her hands trembling slightly, she opened the box in front of her; in an instant, that aroma spilled out—a strange, extraordinary aroma that immediately conquered her.

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 review.

【My god, my god, my god.】

【If you knew what I just ate, you would also think I am 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 what I deserve! I deserve it!】

【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 anyone who was actually a fan of the stars she followed had been influenced by her recommendation.

She just had to vent her emotions first.

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

Some people were unconvinced.

【I want to see if this thing is really that delicious.】

【Could it be a paid shill?】

【In this day and age, have paid shills reached this place 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 products in this shop gone?】

There was no shortage of news about Rehuohu Meishidian on the Light Brain.

Compared to the discussions among netizens, 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 even do!

Almost at the same time, all the Nutrient Solution companies were holding meetings on how to resolve 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 also scratching its head in distress.

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 bought her boxed meal before.

"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?!"

The customer service representative saw their boss's impotent rage and couldn't help but shrink back.

She only felt this was an unprovoked 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 this time 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 batch of orders.

Now it's a mess; not only is the stock in the warehouse sitting idle, but he's also stuck with another 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 become more anxious and gloomy with each passing day, to the point of desperation.

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 even ran five miles away.

He really played himself, didn't he!

Especially after learning that the items in the other party's hands were plants, that feeling of regret reached 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, sent many private messages, but they all show as unread; I also..."

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

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 work, 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 in a daze.

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

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

Lu Yi really is a dense, straight 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 thick enough skin.

"Um, 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.

Following that 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.

"The temperature is going to drop significantly."
