On the forum, people’s emotions were naturally mixed. Some were sad, others were happy, and before long, more comments appeared.
【The Grass on the Vast Plain】: Hahahahaha, I got it!
【Hehe】: Though, I still want to show off a bit, I also got it!
【A Youth Who Doesn’t Study is Wasting Their Time】: I didn’t get the watermelon, but I bought tomatoes. Does anyone know anything about tomatoes?
【Stomach Ache】: You guys, can’t you post somewhere else? How do you think all the students who didn’t get anything feel? Have you thought about that? Hehehe, actually, I got it too.
At this moment, Lin Huanyan could only say, “The joys and sorrows of humans are not connected.”
But there was no doubt that this sales event was even better than the last one. Last time, it took ten seconds for everything to sell out; this time, it was almost instantaneous.
Lin Family Store, as expected, made it to the trending list again, sparking media coverage from all over.
This also further solidified the public’s impression of Lin Family Store, which became synonymous with high-quality, unique items that are nearly impossible to get.
Naturally, Lin Huanyan was quite pleased about this.
Moreover, this craze continued, with almost every day’s sales reflecting similar results, and as more and more people gave feedback after receiving Lin Family Store’s products, the items became even harder to get.
If you think about it, it makes sense. Lin Family Store was known for offering high-quality products that could treat mental disorders. After the live-streaming sessions, it was also known for being delicious and nutritious.
However, besides families with members suffering from severe mental disorders, or some food enthusiasts, most families were just regular ones. Although mental disorders due to radiation pollution were common in the galaxy and nearly every family had someone with some form of mental issue, in the end, most people simply tolerated it when they knew it couldn’t be cured, rather than desperately seeking treatment.
At first, these people were still observing, so the number of true competitors was limited.
But as more people experienced the benefits of Lin Family Store’s products, and as more online reviews and live-streaming feedback flooded in from people around them—whether colleagues, friends, or classmates—those who were initially calm began to waver.
Not to mention, the frenzy around Lin Family Store’s products led many ordinary people to start live-streaming their purchases, attracting fans and earning a lot of star coins, making them even more excited.
So more people rushed to buy, report, research, and more people who couldn’t get it started watching.
According to statistics from the Imperial Treasury Bureau, Lin Family Store alone supported an unknown number of people.
Industries involved included media, streamers, live-streaming companies, purchase agents, second-hand resellers, and more.
Most importantly, due to this craze, many research labs also jumped on the bandwagon and conducted studies.
One authoritative research lab even released a more detailed effectiveness report on Lin Family Store’s products.
This report highlighted the different effects of Lin Family Store’s products on individuals with varying levels of mental disorders, specifying the results for different groups of people.
For people with severe and persistent mental disorders, Lin Family Store’s products could prevent the condition from worsening; for those with moderate mental disorders, the products not only prevented further deterioration but also alleviated some symptoms; for mild cases, the products could even cure the disorder.
Even for healthy individuals without mental disorders, Lin Family Store’s products could help improve mental health, leaving people feeling more relaxed and comfortable.
Everyone who used it said it was great.
The benefits for different groups were evident: older adults felt lighter and slept better; middle-aged office workers had more energy, were more inspired, and could perform better at work; young students found studying easier.
With such great products, who wouldn’t be excited?
Thus, Lin Family Store’s products set off a nationwide buying frenzy.
Many families, unable to buy for themselves, turned to parents, relatives, friends, or even children’s smart devices to increase their chances of getting the product.
But as everyone had the same idea, it went from millions of people competing for thousands of items, to billions of people competing for just a few, making it increasingly difficult to get.
In such circumstances, joining the buying rush was clearly unwise, but Xiao Qi resolutely joined anyway.
He had fallen deeply in love with the taste of the first watermelon he tried in Old Liu’s live-stream.
Later, after a disagreement with his Roommate B, he bet with him, and although there were some twists, they finally tasted Lin Family Store’s products together in a live-stream, and their whole dorm became fans of the store.
So when Lin Family Store’s products went on sale, their entire dorm joined the frenzy, but unfortunately, none of them got anything.
Later, after trying several more times, the original enthusiasm faded.
What no one expected was that while he had given up, someone didn’t want him to give up.
Just last night, after finishing a full day of classes, he was preparing to head back to his dorm to rest.
But as he was dragging his tired body back to the dorm with his roommate, they were stopped by someone when passing by the next dorm.
“Hey, 506 dorm, take a look at this. This is the famous tomato from Lin Jia Shop, I bet you guys haven’t had it. You won’t even be able to get it, this was only possible because our boss had his dad’s company employees help us get it. People like you, poor and pathetic, will never get a taste.”
The person was extremely arrogant, holding a red tomato and looking at them with a mocking expression.
“Exactly. If you guys kneel and apologize to my big brother right now, maybe he’ll consider giving you a taste.”
Someone else inside was also chiming in.
Their so-called boss, Wang Haotian, was smugly watching them.
Roommate B, angered, clenched his fists, ready to charge at them.
But Xiao Qi, seeing the partially open doors of other dorms eavesdropping and the smart HD cameras overhead, stopped him.
“Third, you better think this through. If you can’t hold back and start fighting, forget about whether you can win or not, as the one who throws the first punch, you’ll definitely be recorded and get a demerit. It’s not worth it.”
Roommate A and C quickly came over to stop him, and they finally made it back to the dorm, closing the door behind them.
However, the once peaceful atmosphere became heavy, and no one spoke, just quietly sitting in their spots.
After a long while, a somewhat angry and aggrieved voice came from the bed: “How could he do this? Isn’t it just because he has money? Then he gathers a few lackeys and can humiliate us like this?”
That was Roommate B, the third.
“Well, like you said, he has money.”
This was Roommate A, the fourth, who was usually calm, his voice tinged with helplessness. The other side could use money to buy a bunch of lackeys to make their lives miserable, while they had no such power.
Instantly, the dorm went quiet again. They really didn’t know what to do in this situation.
In the beginning, they didn’t have much of a conflict. They had always avoided provoking this so-called second-generation rich kid, Wang Haotian.
However, last year, the college organized a competition, and getting a good rank would be beneficial for future job prospects. The four of them in the dorm happened to be in the same group and worked hard for the competition.
At that time, Wang Haotian, who had been slacking, unexpectedly decided to participate in the competition. But his abilities were poor, and he had no chance of placing.
So he came to their group, hoping to buy their results for a good rank.
But since this was related to future jobs, they all refused.
They thought that was the end of it, but somehow, the incident got out, and the school took it seriously. As soon as they found out, they started an investigation, and it turned out to be true, so Wang Haotian was warned.
He then firmly believed that it was the 506 dorm that leaked the information. No matter how much they tried to explain, he didn’t listen, and after that, he used his money to constantly cause trouble for them with his lackeys.
Late at night, Xiao Qi still couldn’t fall asleep. He was upset, a pile of frustration building up inside him.
So what if it was just a tomato? He didn’t believe he couldn’t get one.
Although they couldn’t compete with Wang Haotian’s wealth, they certainly weren’t as poor as he made them out to be. They could afford most things from Lin Jia Shop, except for the premium multi-colored watermelon.
Especially Xiao Qi, who, though his family was once poor, had a father with great skills. His father had worked hard while doing manual labor, learning a rare skill.
Later, a large company saw his potential, offered him an annual salary in the hundreds of millions, gave him a house, and helped with his child’s education.
His father, considering that his child could receive a better education here, agreed to move the family to this planet.
So Xiao Qi had grown up in a good environment, his family wasn’t rich but comfortable, and he was the only child, receiving generous pocket money. He never lacked for anything.
It wasn’t until he met Wang Haotian that he had been called poor and pathetic. Actually, among their group, only Wang Haotian’s family owned a company. His lackeys were even poorer than Xiao Qi’s dorm.
He wasn’t going to let this slide. Xiao Qi made up his mind—he would buy something from Lin Jia Shop and show them that he could too.
He opened his smart brain device, set an alarm to remind him every day to try and buy from Lin Jia Shop, determined to prove that his luck wouldn’t always be so bad.
When he finally got the products, he would bring them in front of those guys to show them. If it weren’t so hard to get, he could have already shown them now.
With this hope in mind, Xiao Qi slowly drifted to sleep.
