Chapter 137 A Tax on IQ? A Hot Topic Online
"Golden Foundation Building Powder?"
Xiao Li looked suspicious. "I'm a first-grade martial artist, after all. I've taken quite a few medicines on the market, how come I've never heard of this name before?"
Lin Youwei patted her chest and said, "Here's what we'll do: you experience it for yourself in my shop today, and I'll give you a free meal!"
"That's more like it..."
Xiaoli nodded and casually asked, "So, how much do you plan to sell this medicine for?"
Lin Youwei held up three slender, green fingers.
"Three thousand? That's a bit expensive."
Xiaoli frowned. "A bottle of basic Qi and Blood potion only costs three thousand yuan on the market."
"No!"
Lin Youwei said, enunciating each word clearly, "It's thirty thousand."
"What?!"
Xiaoli jumped up from her chair, staring at her best friend as if she were crazy. "Thirty thousand yuan?! You might as well just rob someone!"
Without wasting any words, Lin Youwei slammed the "Golden Foundation Building Powder Efficacy Instruction Manual" that she had stayed up all night to compile onto the table.
Golden Foundation Building Powder (Special Edition)
Suitable for: Apprentice martial artists to third-rank martial artists.
Efficacy Description: The medicine is mild and non-irritating! It can not only significantly improve blood and qi levels, enhance physical strength, and deeply temper bones, but also solidify the foundation of martial arts and raise the future limit of martial arts!
Absorption rate: Far exceeds any Qi and Blood potion of the same level.
After reading this incredibly arrogant instruction manual, Xiaoli gasped: "Is it really that amazing?"
Trusting her best friend and needing a fresh, attention-grabbing story, Xiaoli finally gritted her teeth and made the decision.
"Okay! Let's do it!"
The two action-oriented individuals immediately began a major overhaul.
Under Xiaoli's command, Lin Youwei hired a construction team at a high salary, and in just one morning, they smashed all the dozens of messy glass cabinets in Jishetang.
The entire hall has been redesigned, with only one product displayed on the spacious central display stand – Golden Foundation Building Powder.
"Listen to me, the packaging must be changed!"
Xiaoli pointed and said, "This glass bottle looks like a few dollars' worth of cold medicine!"
"A medicine worth 30,000 yuan must be served in a top-grade jade bottle, the kind used to hold grade-three elixirs!"
"The packaging alone should make you feel like the money was well spent!"
"I know a boss who makes jade utensils, so I'll have him deliver them."
"In addition, I suggest converting the back of the pharmacy into an enclosed herbal bath experience area, and ideally, hiring experienced massage therapists or pretty ladies to provide massages!"
At 2 p.m., everything was ready.
When Xiaoli stepped into Jishetang again with her pan-tilt camera, her eyes were filled with amazement.
At this moment, Jishetang exudes a high-end feel, with the lights focused on the crystal-clear, specially made jade bottle in the center, as if it contained not medicine, but an elixir of immortality.
Filming officially began.
"Good afternoon, everyone! Today we're not going to see a martial arts school; instead, I'll take you to explore a newly opened pharmacy in Linchuan City..."
After a series of practiced sales pitches, Xiaoli pretended to be a customer who was skeptical of the medicine's effects and was tricked by Lin Youwei into going backstage for a medicinal bath in front of the camera.
Before getting into the bathtub, Xiaoli secretly made plans in her mind.
Even if the medicine is just ordinary hot water, for her best friend's sake, she has to pretend to be shocked by the experience of having her bones and marrow cleansed.
However, when she was fully immersed in the pale golden liquid, she suddenly shuddered.
A gentle yet surging and domineering heat flowed wildly into my body through every pore!
Xiao Lika's martial arts realm, which had been at the first-grade second-star level for more than half a year, was actually starting to weaken!
"Snap!"
There seemed to be a soft sound inside my body, and my blood and qi were surging.
The next second, Xiaoli suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable joy.
She's broken through to the first-rank, three-star level!
Fifteen minutes later, when Xiaoli reappeared in front of the camera with her hair still wet and her face as rosy as a peach blossom, her excitement and trembling required no acting skills whatsoever.
Once the video editing is complete, send it to Douyin with one click!
Thanks to Xiaoli's millions of followers, the video's views began to increase exponentially as soon as it was released.
However, the comment section was completely overrun within ten minutes, turning into an overwhelming wave of cyberbullying.
@Martial Arts Maniac Zhang Chulan: "This is hilarious! What kind of shady pharmacy dares to promote this? Selling a medicine for 30,000? Why don't they just rob a bank? A basic Qi and Blood potion is only 3,000! Does this streamer have no shame for making easy money?"
@KeyboardKing: "Golden Foundation Building Powder? I think it's a gold-plated IQ tax! Suitable for the first three ranks of martial artists? Can it really improve one's foundation? There's no tax on bragging, huh! This kind of shady business with false advertising should be shut down by the Martial Arts Association immediately!"
@AAA Pharmacy Wholesale privately messaged a reseller: "Wait a minute, this store is called Jishetang? It's in the city center! I passed by it the day before yesterday and it was about to close down. Now they're suddenly doing this kind of gimmick, it's definitely a scam! Brothers, stay away!"
@PracticeMartialArtsPoorThreeGenerations: "Unfollowed! Xiaoli, you've changed. You've even sold your conscience for money. That exaggerated acting you did after the herbal bath was so bad, you're wasting your talent if you don't win an Oscar."
@My son is Jiahao: "My child is a senior in high school and is stuck at a bottleneck in his blood and qi levels. If this medicine is even half as good as described in the video, I'd buy it for 300,000 or even 300,000 yuan! But if I find out it's fake, I'll sue you even if it means going bankrupt!"
The screen was flooded with negative reviews and insults.
Many people even reported the video directly.
But being infamous is still fame, and the huge controversy propelled the video to the top of the local trending list!
Less than an hour after the video was posted, the doorbell of Jishetang rang.
Welcome to Jishetang.
Lin Youwei took a deep breath and greeted them with a smile.
The man who walked in was a fat man with a gold chain around his neck.
He was covered in sweat, clutching his phone tightly in his hand; the screen displayed a video of the anchor, Xiaoli.
"Boss lady, do you really have medicine that can improve one's physical constitution? My son has his martial arts entrance exam next month, and his qi and blood values are just a little short of the required level. Does your medicine really work?"
The fat boss was wealthy and powerful, but also deeply suspicious.
Lin Youwei calmly explained, "Hello sir, our Golden Foundation Building Powder comes in three versions: the general version, the excellent version, and the perfect limited edition. Which type of enhancement do you want for your child?"
Two hundred thousand?!
The fat boss's eyes widened; his first thought was that he had encountered a shady business.
But looking at the upscale decor around him, and thinking of his son's worrying grades, he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, let's try anything! If this doesn't work, I'll have someone smash up this lousy shop tomorrow! Give me an excellent one!"
Just as the chubby shop owner left, a freshman boy wearing the uniform of Linchuan Martial Arts University timidly walked into the store.
He's been stuck at the peak of the first rank for months, dreaming of breaking through to the second rank.
Despite being short of money, he gritted his teeth and maxed out his credit card to buy a 30,000 yuan bottle of the popular Foundation Building Powder.
