Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

On the morning that Guangzhi Youxuan put watermelons on the shelves, the supermarket was originally scheduled to open at 8:30.

At 7:40, a line had already formed at the entrance, stretching around the street corner.

In the line, some people were carrying canvas bags, some were pushing small shopping carts, and some were carrying folding stools.

Another boy was squatting against the wall, holding a basketball and scrolling through his phone. The screen showed the third episode of "Ultraman Mebius".

This is called making full use of queuing time to catch up on episodes.

The first person to arrive was a retired old man who lived in the next community.

He was already waiting at the supermarket entrance at 6:20 with a cup of strong tea in his hand.

According to him, "Since I woke up early anyway, I might as well come and wait for a fresh melon."

The second group consists of two working-class girls who share an apartment.

One person was responsible for reserving a spot while the other went to buy breakfast; they took turns and worked together seamlessly.

Their goal was to bring back at least two melons, one to cut up and eat, and the other to juice.

Supermarket manager Ye Fei arrived an hour early and stood silently at the entrance for a moment when he saw the long, serpentine queue.

Ye Fei picked up the walkie-talkie and called the person in charge of the fruit section.

"How much watermelon stock do you have in the watermelon section today? Twelve thousand catties? Bring it all out of the cold storage, and add another three thousand catties as backup."

"Assign four employees to cut and pack the melons; they need to be quick."

At 8:30 a.m. sharp, the supermarket gates rose on time.

When the first group of customers arrived at the fruit section, the sight before them made the person at the front involuntarily stop in their tracks.

What a joke! They're all jokes!

A whole field of melons!

The watermelon section was designated as a separate display area.

The bright green watermelons were neatly stacked.

Next to the display stand a handwritten price tag about half a person's height, written in black marker on a white background.

"The watermelons from Hetan Town are sourced directly from the production area. The purchase price is 0.8 yuan/jin, and the selling price is 0.9 yuan/jin, with a profit of only 0.1 yuan per jin."

There is another line of smaller text at the very bottom.

"Unconditional return or exchange if any quality issues are found."

All four employees in the fruit section are in place.

Two people were responsible for weighing and pricing, while two others were dedicated to cutting the melons.

The chef cleaved the melon in two with a single stroke, then sliced ​​it into evenly thick crescent-shaped pieces.

The sliced ​​melon was placed in a transparent plastic packaging box, sealed, labeled with its weight and price, and neatly stacked on the refrigerated shelf next to it.

There's also a free takeaway station right next to it.

"Hello, would you like me to cut it for you? It's free to cut and pack, and it will only take about a minute and a half."

"There's a small dent on this melon rind. If you mind, I'll replace it for you."

"The whole melon can be stored at room temperature for one week. If it is cut open, it is recommended to eat it within two days. If you can't finish it, refrigerate it. If you are juicing it, you don't need to add sugar, as this batch of melons is already very sweet."

The staff in the fruit section were almost constantly on the go.

This kind of service attitude is not uncommon in ordinary supermarkets.

But seeing a watermelon priced at "90 cents a pound" in a section had a completely different impact.

A twelve-pound watermelon costs only ten yuan and eighty cents.

This price is so low that it makes one wonder if the decimal point was misplaced.

Not only did Light Choice achieve this, but it also added an unexpected layer of service.

Someone in the queue took a picture of the price tag and posted it on Weibo.

"Nine cents a pound, free cutting and packaging, unconditional returns and exchanges. I thought Ah Guang was joking when he said he would lose money, until I stood in front of the pile of watermelons."

This Weibo post was retweeted more than 2,000 times within 15 minutes of being published.

The most popular reply in the comments section

"Ah Guang: I said it would be a loss, but I didn't say how much. Any loss is still a loss."

Meanwhile, the Land of Light-themed restaurant also started serving pre-made watermelon juice on the same day.

Watermelon juice in a clear PET bottle, with a few words printed on the label.

Watermelon juice from Hetan Town, 3 yuan/900ml.

This price is ridiculously cheap for any restaurant.

The milk tea shop next door sells a medium-sized watermelon boba for 16 yuan, and the ingredients are concentrated fruit juice;

Next door, a glass of pure watermelon juice costs 22 yuan, and the volume is only 500 milliliters.

Moreover, the Land of Light did not play any word games.

The label clearly states "pre-made watermelon juice".

Ingredients: Watermelon, a small amount of lemon juice for antioxidant purposes.

Less than an hour after the store opened, the first to react were the office workers in the surrounding office buildings.

After the first person bought a cup and tried it, they posted a photo in the colleagues' group chat. Twenty minutes later, the entire administrative department on the floor mobilized.

Each person brought back two or three bottles and put them in the office refrigerator.

Shop assistants in the mall took advantage of their shift break to come and queue up.

The delivery riders who were passing by couldn't resist buying two bottles and putting them in their insulated boxes.

This stuff tastes better than bottled water, and it's cheaper too. I feel like I'd be missing out if I didn't buy it.

By 11 a.m., a long queue had already formed outside the Land of Light themed restaurant.

The restaurant manager quickly made a reminder sign.

"Watermelon juice contains a lot of natural fructose. Excessive intake may lead to excessive calorie intake. It is recommended to drink no more than one bottle per day. Please consume rationally, dear."

The people in line laughed when they saw the notice.

"Don't worry about it, just focus on selling your watermelon juice!!"

"I finally found something to drink that I can enjoy for three yuan, and you're telling me to drink less?!"

"Ah Guang, are you worried I'll drink too much and bankrupt you? Don't worry, I know my limits. Five bottles, please."

"Rational consumption? When did things from the Land of Light become something we need to consume rationally? Buy the merchandise and watermelon juice together!"

"Hilarious! A vendor selling watermelon juice for three yuan is worried I'll gain weight, while a vendor selling freshly squeezed juice for twenty-two yuan a cup never warns me about the excessive sugar content."

Someone took a picture of the helpful reminder and posted it online, instantly turning the comment section into a joke contest.

"Land of Light: Dear customer, we suggest you consume rationally. Customer: Give me back my rationality first."

"Ah Guang is afraid you'll get fat, Ah Guang is afraid you'll be poor, Ah Guang is afraid you won't be able to buy cheap melons. What is this? This is fatherly love, a father who's always been strong-willed."

"About the fact that an animation company cares more about my health than the fruit shop downstairs."

At 2 PM, the data department of Guangzhi Youxuan online mall sent a real-time statistics report to Yang Qian's mobile phone.

The entire batch of watermelons from Hetan Town was sold out in less than six hours, from when they were put on the shelves at 8:30 a.m.

Not only were online inventories cleared, but offline supermarket inventories were also emptied around 1:30 p.m.

The staff in the fruit section have already moved all 3,000 jin of spare melons that were reserved in the warehouse to replenish the stock.

However, it still cannot meet the demand of customers queuing up.

The watermelon juice sold at the Land of Light themed restaurant was particularly impressive.

On the first day of nationwide unified shelf launch, the average sales per store exceeded two thousand bottles.

The factory has already started the night shift production line to ensure uninterrupted supply tomorrow.

Just when the entire internet's attention was drawn to watermelons and watermelon juice.

The people sent by the city government to deliver the sign have arrived downstairs at the Land of Light Studio.

The brand was custom-made in a rush.

At this moment, Li Lin was carefully holding the plaque in his arms.

Wrapped in a layer of dark blue velvet, it looked more substantial than those flashy trophies.

He walked through the doors of the Kingdom of Light studio, and the young woman at the front desk recognized him immediately.

After all, they were old acquaintances; this Director Li appeared in the Land of Light more frequently than some employees.

"Manager Li, are you here to buy some merchandise or for business?"

The receptionist asked with a smile.

"It's official business, serious business. Is Director Yang here?"

Li Lin hugged the plaque tightly, trying to make his tone sound serious.

"Yes, Director Yang didn't slack off today."

It was common knowledge within the company that Yang Qian would occasionally sneak out to slack off.
