A-Wu only had two bottles of Jade Body Pills. She estimated that the credits she earned from selling them should be enough to support her until she developed some new medicines.
Pills suitable for the Qi Refining stage were at most third-grade. The highest-grade pill A-Wu had ever refined back then was only fourth-grade. She had managed to make it by chance, and even then, it had only been a low-quality pill.
Basic pills in the cultivation world were divided into nine grades, from one to nine. Qi Refining cultivators mostly used third-grade pills and below. Pills above fourth-grade were far too expensive for outer disciples like them to afford.
A-Wu had been so popular among the outer disciples mainly because most of the pills she refined were high-quality third-grade pills. Even so, she herself had never been able to afford high-grade pills.
Fortunately, she could refine pills herself.
And now, this interstellar world had many advanced pharmaceutical machines. They were more than enough to make up for her lack of spiritual energy.
Once she had enough credits, she would be able to refine whatever pills she wanted!
A-Wu placed a Jade Body Pill into the testing machine she had bought.
After confirming that it had no toxic side effects, she logged into her Star Network shop and put the Jade Body Pills up for sale.
Although Jade Body Pills were also high-quality third-grade pills, just like Enchanting Fragrance, A-Wu priced them much higher.
She boldly set the price at 6,999 credits per pill.
A-Wu wasn’t simply overcharging.
She had searched Star Network and checked the current prices for various cosmetic medical treatments. Whether for specific areas or the entire body, they often cost tens of thousands of credits, yet the results were still inferior to her Jade Body Pills!
At the time, she had sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, things were the same in every world.
Only when people had enough to eat and stay warm could they start thinking about pleasure!
People who loved beauty treatments were always the wealthy.
And to wealthy people, as long as the results were good, spending a few thousand or even tens of thousands of credits was nothing.
After listing the Jade Body Pills, A-Wu posted another announcement in her shop:
“Our shop’s newest product, Jade Body Pills, is officially on sale today! Please enter the shop to learn about their specific effects. Supplies are limited, so first come, first served! Everyone is welcome to buy them~”
After posting the announcement, she logged off Star Network and focused on planning her next purchases.
She had already roughly decided which pills she wanted to refine next.
Once these credits came in, she could put her plan into action!
A-Wu did not pay much attention to how well the Jade Body Pills sold.
After her previous experience selling Enchanting Fragrance, she wasn’t worried about finding buyers at all.
There were only two bottles of pills, after all.
Even though the price was high, she believed that the customers who had been constantly begging her to release new products would buy them all.
She left everything else to Dandan and stopped paying attention to the shop.
Once the credits came in, she would begin a major shopping spree.
From the moment A-Wu listed the pills, Dandan began receiving orders one after another.
Some customers cautiously bought one or two pills.
Others placed huge orders, buying dozens at a time.
Seeing so many credits suddenly pour into his master’s account, Dandan happily answered all kinds of customer questions.
The two sentences he said most often were:
“This one is sold out!”
“This one is almost sold out~”
When both bottles of pills had completely sold out, Dandan quickly packed all the orders and handed them to delivery robot 89757, who had come to collect them.
Robot 89757 was responsible for collecting, sending, and delivering packages throughout this area.
After interacting several times, Dandan and 89757 had already become good friends.
After greeting each other, 89757 placed Dandan’s carefully packed packages into his delivery vehicle.
His blue electronic eyes flashed as he said to Dandan,
“Please send my regards to your master.”
Dandan happily waved his mechanical arm.
“Okay! I’ll definitely tell her! Goodbye, my friend!”
After watching 89757 disappear from sight, Dandan returned home.
He glanced at his master, who was completely absorbed in her pharmaceutical work.
He hesitated for a moment but decided not to disturb her.
He quietly closed the door and went to clean the living room.
He had made the living room a little messy while packing the orders.
Unlike the peaceful and cozy atmosphere in A-Wu’s home, Star Network was currently in complete chaos.
Because A-Wu had gone so long without releasing any new products, most of the scalpers who had been waiting around her shop had already given up and left.
This time, A-Wu had released a new product without any warning.
Anyone who managed to buy one could only say they had been incredibly lucky.
Some old customers who had previously bought Enchanting Fragrance had gotten into the habit of checking A-Wu’s pill shop every day.
Because of that, they happened to be lucky enough to buy Jade Body Pills today.
Even though the Jade Body Pills did not have a testing report from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute and only had the shop owner’s description of their effects, their enthusiasm was not reduced in the slightest.
There were also newcomers who happened to click into the pill shop.
They were shocked when they saw the price.
Is this shop robbing people?
They were already planning to make a post on the Star Network forum complaining about this shameless pharmacy.
But before they could even leave the shop, the Jade Body Pills suddenly sold out.
The newcomers were completely stunned.
What the heck~? People are actually buying dozens of pills at such a ridiculous price! Are these people paid supporters?!
Meanwhile, the old customers who had managed to buy the pills—and those who had missed out—saw that the entire stock had been sold.
They immediately beat their chests in frustration.
Two hundred pills again!
Was this shop owner deliberately using scarcity to create demand?
Couldn’t she just make more?
They were willing to pay any price!
No matter what everyone thought, all the Jade Body Pills were completely sold out in less than two hours.
Those who had managed to buy them rushed to the Star Network forum to show off.
Those who had failed to buy them also rushed to the forum to complain.
“Hahahaha~ The pill shop released a new product today! I bought ten pills! Once they arrive, I’ll livestream the results for everyone! Livestream link: ××456.”
“Everyone, you didn’t read that wrong. The person above is talking about the same pill shop that sells Enchanting Fragrance! I bought some too~ 2333~ Although I only managed to get one.”
“You two are so lucky! When I went there, everything was already sold out. I’m crying~”
“Looking to buy the new pills. Original price plus 500 credits. Anyone willing to sell?”
“I bought 48 pills, hahaha~ Not selling~”
“A big shot has appeared above! I’m bad at math~ Can someone tell me how much 48 new pills cost?”
“335,952 credits in total. You’re welcome!”
“This person has to be a paid supporter, right? Who would spend hundreds of thousands on a beauty pill? That’s enough to get a full-body cosmetic treatment at a hospital!”
“Sister who bought 48 pills, please sell me a few! I’ll pay an extra 10,000 credits!”
“You’re probably a paid supporter too! I’m so sick of you people promoting medicine. You’re deceiving everyone and have absolutely no morals!”
“Are you sick? Are you paranoid or something? I’m not buying them for you to eat! Stop talking nonsense and get lost!”
“I’m not a sister, thanks. And I’m not selling~ I need all 48 for the beautiful women in my family. It’s not even enough…”
“The shop owner didn’t announce the new product beforehand! I’m going to protest!!”
No matter how much chaos there was on the Star Network forum, A-Wu had absolutely no interest in it.
As long as her pills sold, that was enough.
If some people doubted them, there would naturally be others who recognized their value.
She didn’t have the time or energy to explain everything to everyone.
Meanwhile, many old customers who hadn’t even noticed that the shop had released a new product saw these posts and felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.
The shop owner had released a new product without any advance announcement!
They had to protest!!
So a large group of customers who had failed to buy the pills rushed to the shop’s message board and began complaining.
They criticized the shop owner from every angle and strongly demanded that she announce every future product release in advance.
A-Wu was busy working in the pharmaceutical room and had absolutely no idea what was happening.
After cleaning the living room, Dandan saw the messages in the shop.
Being a responsible assistant, he replied to them one by one, promising that he would pass their complaints on to the shop owner.
After everyone made a fuss for a while and confirmed that the pills would not be restocked, they disappointedly moved back to the Star Network forum to browse the latest posts.
Hadn’t someone said they were going to livestream the effects of the pills?
Perfect.
They could watch and find out whether the medicines from this pill shop were really as effective as Enchanting Fragrance.
A few hours later, buyers on nearby planets had already received their pills.
Most of them immediately tried them.
Among them was the person who had first posted that he would livestream the effects.
He was a fairly popular streamer whose Star Network name was Star Voyager.
He mainly livestreamed video game guides and was essentially an interstellar gaming nerd.
Because he had some popularity, he wasn’t short of money. He also loved eating specialty snacks from different planets.
Unfortunately, he often stayed up late.
Although he was quite good-looking, his complexion was terrible, and he had very little luck with romance.
Last time, he had happened to buy an Enchanting Fragrance pill.
He had mainly bought it because of its ability to improve physical health.
But since it was also a kind of stimulant, he had thought that he might as well take advantage of the effect.
After taking the pill, he finally gathered enough courage to go out to a nightclub.
He wanted to see whether he could have a one-night encounter and relieve some of his loneliness.
He never expected that more than a dozen men and women would take the initiative to approach him that night.
It gave his pure virgin heart a huge shock!
If he hadn’t known for certain that the only unusual thing he had done before leaving home was wash his face one extra time, he would have thought he had gone to the hospital and gotten an entirely new head.
As for whether he actually lost his virginity that night, that was another matter.
In any case, from then on, he became a firm believer in A-Wu’s pill shop.
He had even spent credits to set the shop as a special favorite.
Whenever the shop restocked or released a new product, he would immediately receive a notification.
When A-Wu released the Jade Body Pills this time, he happened to be livestreaming a game.
Halfway through the stream, he received a Star Network notification.
Without even thinking, he immediately switched over to the pill shop and managed to buy ten pills.
His fans were completely confused.
Their streamer had been playing normally when he suddenly stopped.
Without saying a word, he exited the game.
Before they could even figure out what was happening, he came back.
He apologized and explained that he had gone to buy medicine.
What kind of medicine was so important that their normally fan-loving streamer would abandon them just to buy it?
Star Voyager’s fans weren’t angry with him.
They were simply extremely curious about what he had bought.
After he read the listed effects of the pills to his fans, the entire fan group exploded.
“Youyou, are you serious? Is this medicine really that amazing?!”
“Youyou is being so serious about it, so it should be real, right? I’m looking forward to it!!”
“But is it really better than cosmetic treatments? I spent more than a million credits on a full-body cosmetic treatment on Capital Planet last time!”
“A rich beauty has appeared in the group! Please support me!”
“Star Voyager, livestream the effects of the medicine for us! Then we’ll know!”
The female fans were extremely excited and kept asking Star Voyager whether the medicine was genuine.
The male fans were a little more rational and immediately suggested a practical solution.
Although Star Voyager had been livestreaming for several years, he wasn’t very old.
He was only 25.
He scratched his head and said awkwardly,
“I don’t know whether the effects are really as amazing as they claim. This is actually my first time buying this particular medicine. But the medicine I bought from this shop last time really worked extremely well!”
When he saw one of his male fans suggest a livestream, his eyes immediately lit up.
“That’s right! I’ll do another livestream later. I’ll take the medicine live so everyone can see the results!”
And just like that, the livestream for the Jade Body Pills was arranged.
Star Voyager had quite a large number of fans, and because the pills were so unusual, they firmly attracted both men and women who cared about their appearance.
The female fans didn’t need to be mentioned.
Women’s desire to look beautiful had been endless since ancient times.
The male fans were also eagerly waiting.
After all, everyone loved beauty.
Even if they didn’t want to take the pills themselves, they could give them to their grandmothers, mothers, sisters, or girlfriends.
If the pills really worked, wouldn’t that make their future spending money much easier to get?
The fans began calling their friends and waiting for the afternoon livestream.
Star Voyager also posted on the Star Network forum to build excitement for the livestream and let those who hadn’t managed to buy the medicine see its effects.
As a result, the small livestream room of this game streamer was suddenly packed with viewers.
It was almost overwhelmed by the number of people.
The livestream platform had to temporarily upgrade Star Voyager’s room so it could accommodate all the viewers.
And so, under everyone’s eager attention, the livestream finally began…
