Chapter 14: Rushing to Buy

Despite the brisk sales of the ointment, Tang Xin chose to continue setting up her stall outside the city.

Old Black, upon hearing that the ointment was sold immediately after the store opened, was so astonished that his eyeballs almost popped out.

He couldn’t believe it and asked repeatedly, “One box of ointment is priced at four hundred credits? Someone actually bought it? Not just once, but a second time, purchasing six boxes?”

Tang Xin lazily basked in the sun, no longer in a hurry to find a patron in the real world now that she had online sales.

“Didn’t I tell you? Three hundred is the promotional price. If not for opening up the market and letting people try it, the normal price should be five hundred.”

“…”

Old Black was speechless, feeling like his worldview had been completelyreshaped and, struggling to understand the values of wealthy people. “So, are you planning to stop setting up a stall from now on?”

“After making enough money, I plan to rent a shop in the city to sell medicine,” Tang Xin calculated. Roadside stalls were too low-grade and affected her image. She strongly suspected that it was because of the stall that people had ignored the ointment in the first place!

The funds from the online store had not yet reached her federal card. Once she had enough money, she would open a shop in the city.

She had no intention of relying solely on online sales; having more customers was always better. If the quantity of ointments she produced couldn’t meet demand, she could auction them, and the highest bidder would win.

Old Black frowned, a bit worried. Since the two of them drove away the Wang Jiao, people in the vicinity had enjoyed a few days of peace, hoping for good times to last a bit longer. Once the two left, they might have to return to the exciting life of chasing each other.

He hesitated for a moment and took out the ointment from before. “I can’t use this medicine. Can you try selling it in your store? Just consider it as two hundred credits, and the rest is yours.”

Tang Xin wasn’t angry and accepted it. “Sure, but have you made up your mind? It’s not too late to regret it now.”

Old Black was overjoyed and quickly waved his hand. “No, no, how could I regret it? Two hundred credits are enough. Originally, it was a gift from you, basically free money.” He had only given her a bottle of water and some firewood in exchange for two hundred credits. What was there to be dissatisfied with?

Tang Xin agreed.

Suddenly, her contact list made a sound. Tang Xin quickly checked: “You’re really lucky; someone just placed an order for three boxes, and one of them is considered sold by you.”

Three boxes? Twelve hundred credits? Was earning money on the Star Network so easy?

Old Black was bewildered, pondering whether he should also open a store online.

Seeing Old Black in a daze, Yan Hao sighed.

The shop opened by the master was extraordinary, and the customers who came to the shop were also strange. In any case, he couldn’t figure it out.

The new store opened with daily sales of over a thousand credits; it scared the normal people, probably making them start doubting life.

He wondered what kind of bizarre comments the customers would leave this time.

Unexpectedly, when he went to Ah Li Group, he found that the new order was from another ID, and the first customer hadn’t signed or left a comment.

Yan Hao couldn’t help but read the online store name and page description again. Could describing it like this really attract the attention of the rich? Surprisingly, no one considered it snake oil.

Tang Xin remained unperturbed and very confidently said, “It must be an acquaintance of the first customer. The good effects are promoted in the friends and family circle, so different people come to buy. Just wait; more people will definitely come to the store in the future.”

She guessed the beginning right but didn’t guess the ending…

They were indeed acquaintances, but they only wanted to secretly use it with no intention of publicizing it.

**In the morning, after placing the order, he received the express delivery in the afternoon, quite fast.**

Zhao Min opened the package and raised an eyebrow. It was a pretty large box containing three small bamboo boxes. How could a small box of ointment be sold for four hundred credits? He wanted to see what the shop owner had to offer.

Zhao Min lightly slid his fingernail on his forearm, immediately creating a five-centimeter-long wound, and blood flowed out.

His expression remained calm. He leisurely opened one of the bamboo boxes, and instantly a faint fragrance filled the air.

He applied the ointment to the wound, feeling a refreshing sensation, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

Zhao Min was secretly shocked. “No wonder that Lan Yin guy keeps finding ways to buy this ointment; it’s indeed effective. If others find out…”

With a slight turn of his mind, he could imagine everyone rushing to beg the shop owner. No, Zhao Min shook his head suddenly. There were only around forty boxes of ointment left on the product page. Even if he tried to snatch them all, he wouldn’t have much certainty, so he must block the information.

Zhao Min stared at the review left by Lan Yuan, lost in thought, and an idea formed in his mind.

**Lan Yin applied for an amount from his father, mentioned the ointment, and then was pulled into an experiment. He felt quite helpless; couldn’t he borrow the money first and slowly test it after buying it?**

Fortunately, he was prepared; yesterday, he asked his little brother to leave an exaggerated review. No one should want to buy it.

During the break,Lan Yin quickly took a look at the screen. Just one glance, and he almost spewed out old blood.

Who did this!! Bought three boxes of ointment and gave them three one-star reviews! Wrote three comments: “poor quality,” “high price,” and “no effect”!

They even had the audacity to buy twenty-five boxes in one go!

Lan Yin could immediately see that the reviews were directed at him. Obviously, the ointment’s effect was too good, and they didn’t want others to compete for it, so they deliberately gave negative reviews.

However, if there are fifty reviews and the store’s score is less than 3, it will be closed! The kind of closure that can never be reopened!

Lan Yin himself wasn’t very clear about the rules of the Star Network, but he couldn’t resist having a shopping-crazy younger brother. When he initially wanted to give a one-star negative review, his brother stopped him.

He hoped to monopolize the ointment, not shut down the online store, making it inaccessible to everyone!

Lan Yin looked at the reviews, feeling strongly uneasy, suspecting that the second customer was an idiot who didn’t know the Star Network rules.

If you’re foolish, then don’t buy more!!!

Lan Yin was in a hurry. At that moment, he went directly to Lan father. “Father, I know you need to do a series of tests for safety reasons. But the situation is urgent now, and if you don’t make a decision soon, the items will be bought up by others.”

Even if we understand the medicinal properties clearly, what’s the use if we don’t have the ointment?

Lan father was slightly stunned. “Didn’t you say that no one would be foolish enough to buy it?”

Lan Yin felt helpless. “I don’t think anyone would be so foolish, but the current problem is that someone has already bought it. If that person is currently raising money, and if someone else is being foolish… Father, please make a decision as soon as possible.”

“Buy it; buy all the remaining ones.” In a short while, Lan Father made a decision. “Although I don’t understand its principle, the effect is visible.”

Lan Yin was overjoyed, received the money on the Federal Card, and immediately asked his younger brother to shop, buying all the remaining ointments back home.

At the same time, he specifically instructed his brother to include the rule that if the score is below 3 after fifty reviews, the store will be closed in the comments for the other person to see.

Lan Yin was a bit worried. By explicitly stating the rule in the comments and making large purchases, a smart person might detect a different scent.

However, there was no other way. The other person bought a total of 28 boxes, and he didn’t buy as many as they did. Even if that person gave all one-star negative reviews, even if he gave all five stars, if the store’s rating is below 3, it would still close!

When there’s no place to buy medicine, he will be even more miserable.

He comforted himself; even if more people noticed, it would be better than the chaos of the entire Huangsha Star.

It’s just quite regrettable; the seller’s shipping address was always the address of the Ah Li Group. Otherwise, he could have found them and talked face-to-face.

**This was destined to be a day that would redefine their worldview.**

When he learned that the second customer added 25 more boxes in one go, Yan Hao’s heart remained calm because he felt like he was dreaming. Not long after, the first customer bought the remaining quantity on the page.

He thought, See, it really is something that only happens in dreams.

Tang Xin was extremely satisfied; this was the style of the Galaxy’s number one pharmacist.

“All the inventory is sold out. Once all the confirmations are received, I’ll have over 20,000 credit points in hand. Currently, I only have 4,000, but it’s enough for now.”

Over 20,000 credit points? This dream seems quite real, and the calculation seems correct. Yan Hao was somewhat dazed.

On the other side, Tang Xin transferred 2,000 credits to Yan Hao’s Federal Card. She had wanted to do this earlier, but she wasn’t financially comfortable at the moment.

Yan Hao received a contact list notification, finally snapping out of it. He couldn’t hallucinate and dream at the same time. “Why are you giving me money?”

Tang Xin said seriously, “Your monthly salary. Since you are my personal bodyguard, I should pay your remuneration every month.”

“Didn’t we agree that I would be your bodyguard for three years and then be free?” Yan Hao frowned. Was she thinking of backing out?

“We did agree.” Tang Xin smiled. “This doesn’t conflict with receiving a salary. Take the money, and when the time comes, you can leave on time.”

Buying people’s hearts! It was definitely buying people’s hearts.

Yan Hao’s inner thoughts surged, warning him not to waver. Unfortunately, it seemed like he had indeed been bought.

He thought it was giving her three years of free work in exchange for freedom, but unexpectedly, by working as a bodyguard for her, he still received salary and benefits. Looking at it now, serving for three years wasn’t a big deal at all.

Suddenly he remembered what his master had said during the negotiation: what she truly wanted was his loyalty.

Yan Hao decided to be a bit nicer to his mistress.

The first step was to start believing that his mistress was a divine doctor.

Even though it was not easy…

Yan Hao stared at the screen with a deadpan face. The second customer gave three one-star negative reviews and bought twenty-five more boxes. Was it really to bring them home for negative reviews and destroy the store?

Tang Xin didn’t think so. She was very confident in her pharmaceutical skills and believed it couldn’t be as the reviews said.

At this moment, she enthusiastically looked through the comments: “Tsk, tsk, wrote negative reviews just to hog the ointment, lacking conscience! Superficial! Childish!”

Yan Hao thought, setting aside everything else; his mistress’s self-confidence is inexplicably strong.

Continuing to scroll down, the first customer added a new comment. In addition to the usual praise for the divine doctor, a few new sentences were added. “After fifty reviews, if the store score is less than 3, the online store will be automatically closed. Upstairs, you ignorant fool! You ignorant fool! You know nothing! You really know nothing!”

Yan Hao was slightly stunned.

Judging by this person’s tone, they seemed very anxious and worried about the store’s closing. He seemed to conclude that the second customer didn’t know the Star Network rules, which was why they gave all one-star reviews, not because the product was inferior.

Could the ointment’s effectiveness be so good that it motivated people to leave false reviews to prevent others from snatching it?

Yan Hao fell into contemplation.
