Chapter 146: Chapter 0146: Weight Loss Pills Become a Huge Hit_1
Liu Ruomei gave Zhang Bin a stern warning before driving away. Judging by her actions, she had gone easy on him and opted not to share her discovery with Liu Ruolan.
However, Zhang Bin knew this wasn’t an act of kindness. Liu Ruomei was aware that nothing had happened between him and Su Man; with her mind-reading ability, she would have known the truth. Therefore, there was no need to tell Liu Ruolan.
"I’m so envious, so jealous! When will I ever have skills as badass as my master’s?" Ma Rufei said, his eyes red with jealousy.
After all, these women were all exceptionally rare beauties. Although he considered himself a handsome and wealthy man, he had never managed to win over such a goddess. He started pestering Zhang Bin again, hoping his master would teach him the ultimate techniques for wooing women.
Unfortunately, Zhang Bin wasn’t in the mood and quickly sent him away.
Zhang Bin checked on the factory. Seeing that everything was normal, he returned to his villa in the village, where he sat cross-legged on the rooftop, lost in thought.
Liu Ruomei cultivated the Pure Heart Mystique and actually developed a special ability—mind-reading! What an awesome ability to have. With that, she won’t have to fear dealing with anyone in the future. If I could acquire the ability to read minds, that would be incredible. After all, if I could read minds, I would know what anyone was thinking and could devise the perfect counter-strategy.
Why can’t she read my thoughts?
Doubt was written all over Zhang Bin’s face. Could it be because my spiritual power is stronger than hers, shielding my thoughts from her? And is mind-reading itself just a use of spiritual power? But then, why can’t I do it?
He was truly at a loss.
Nevertheless, he resolved to cultivate the Pure Heart Mystique with even greater effort. He refused to believe he couldn’t develop a special ability of his own. Moreover, he had speculated that cultivating the Pure Heart Mystique was the same as cultivating Daoist Magic. As his Cultivation Level improved, he was certain he would eventually be able to use it.
With that in mind, he looked inwardly at his Dantian. It had become much broader, like a vast lake, but the True Qi within it was still somewhat thin. It wasn’t dense enough, and the pressure was insufficient to break through to the 16th meridian.
Cultivation couldn’t be achieved overnight. Although Zhang Bin was still a bit dissatisfied, he knew that reaching his current stage in just a few months was already incredibly fast. The path ahead would undoubtedly grow more challenging, requiring patience and perseverance.
He immediately called Gao Si to ask some questions about special abilities, requesting that Gao Si also find some more information on the subject for him.
Gao Si agreed without hesitation. After all, the two of them had always operated on a transactional basis. Zhang Bin still owed Gao Si one trade, but since Gao Si didn’t mention it, he didn’t either.
After hanging up, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Maybe Earth also has secret techniques for cultivating special abilities. Maybe there are people with special abilities right here.
He grew excited at the thought and immediately had Tutu start searching the internet for information on the topic. For the time being, there were no results.
Early the next morning, Zhang Bin took some Rufei Slimming Pills to Wenwu Pharma.
This time, Liu Ruolan didn’t run any ads. She only hung a banner above the company announcing the sale of the Rufei Slimming Pill. The slogan was simple and clear: "Rufei Slimming Pills are now available! Lose one pound per pill, with results in ten minutes."
Given the preceding success of the miraculous Bright Eye Liquid, and with droves of patients visiting the company for eye treatment every day, a simple banner was more than enough.
Of course, Liu Ruolan also organized a press conference. She invited many journalists, and even the local television station sent a crew. The press conference was quite interesting. Its highlight was having a man who weighed a full 150 kilograms take the slimming pills on the spot—consuming one hundred pills in total.
The many journalists captured the event on camera. In just half an hour, the man’s weight had decreased by 52 kilograms. He went from being a very obese man to a sturdy, muscular one.
All the onlookers were shocked, as were the journalists.
That day, every last Rufei Slimming Pill was sold out.
The price had been set quite high at two thousand yuan per pill. This meant losing a single pound of weight cost two thousand yuan. This price had been carefully discussed by Liu Ruolan, Zhang Bin, and the others.
If the pills could be mass-produced, the price would be too high. However, Zhang Bin’s Qi gathering ability was limited, meaning he couldn’t obtain enough Spiritual Energy to cultivate a large quantity of herbs. While production would be much higher than for Bright Eye Liquid, there was still a ceiling. Therefore, the slimming pills would inevitably be in short supply, so they didn’t need to worry about the high price.
That day, Wenwu Pharma brought in twenty million yuan. It was faster than printing money.
Unfortunately, they had used up a large portion of their stockpiled herbs, so future daily sales wouldn’t reach such heights. But both Zhang Bin and Liu Ruolan were overjoyed.
Liu Ruolan said excitedly, "Xiao Bin, the slimming pills you developed are miraculous, so sales are no concern. If we can find a way to increase production, our company could definitely make the Fortune 500, maybe even the top 50!"
She was truly an ambitious and powerful woman. Zhang Bin couldn’t help but admire her.
The internet was buzzing with excitement. When journalists first uploaded videos of the weight loss, many people were skeptical. But that day, many customers who had purchased the slimming pills enthusiastically filmed and posted their own weight-loss videos.
Overnight, thousands of such videos appeared, leaving no room for doubt.
Countless netizens were astounded. Overweight individuals everywhere were thrilled, excited, and ecstatic. Many women were moved to tears; from now on, they could eat whatever they wanted without worrying about gaining weight, all thanks to the Rufei Slimming Pill.
The next day’s newspapers were filled with reports on the miraculous capabilities of the Rufei Slimming Pill, hailing it as one of the greatest inventions of this world and this century.
Overnight, Zhang Bin’s name became known to the people of China and, indeed, the entire world, as many international newspapers also reported on the miraculous slimming pills.
Countless journalists flocked to Qingshan County City, and a tidal wave of overweight customers surged in right behind them. Wenwu Pharma, the seller of the Rufei Slimming Pill, became an overnight sensation.
