Ch 72 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Xie Zheng took awhile to fetch the sheet music, he returned with a somewhat dazed expression.

Fang Ziyang knew that the other person must have seen the diary.

He pursed his lips and chose not to expose it. He politely took the sheet music and continued playing, his smiling face showing no special emotions.

However, deep down, he still felt a discomfort that was hard to explain.

Everyone longed for sunshine, but someone as pure and clean as Xie Zheng was not something he could possess. He couldn’t always pretend to be the person the other liked. There were still many things he hadn’t done and he didn’t want to become a moth to the flame.

Before he could embrace the sunshine, he didn’t have the right to do so until he sent those people to hell. It would burn him.

Although he had already decided not to harm innocent people, he still wanted to preserve a glimmer of light. He didn’t want to lose himself in the process of seeking revenge and become the heartless enemy he hated.

It’s okay. He had overcome so many difficulties and pain before, he could do it.

…

There were only two days in a weekend.

Fang Ziyang seemed outgoing and cheerful, but he was actually lazy and liked to stay at home.

So he didn’t go out the whole weekend, staying at Xie Family Manor with Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu, focusing on monitoring the promotion of the beauty essence online and reviewing the sales reports from Dongsheng Pharmaceutical.

As they expected, the short advertisement live broadcast, which had only a few minutes of dialogue, created a huge response.

They say seeing is believing, and the audience had high trust in what they saw with their own eyes.

Fang Ziyang’s live broadcast didn’t use any filters and there were no editing issues or lags. It was a complete and unobstructed playback from all angles. There was no possibility of faking it.

Even if they couldn’t confirm the final results of using the beauty essence through the screen, the immediate detoxification effect was undoubtedly real!

In this day and age, who hadn’t read a few fantasy novels or watched a few fantasy TV dramas? Based on the situation during the live broadcast, the first thing that came to everyone’s mind was: Damn, is this the legendary purification and marrow-cleansing technique?

Even if it was out of curiosity, after the live broadcast ended, 90% of the netizens rushed to Dongsheng Pharmaceutical’s official website.

The remaining 10% stubbornly refused to believe that such a miraculous scientific research result was real. They insisted that it was a gimmick intentionally created by the company using magic tricks! They just didn’t believe it!

However, having 90% of the netizens attracted to Dongsheng Pharmaceutical’s official website was already enough.

As long as the feedback from the first batch of buyers came out, the product wouldn’t have any sales issues in the future.

And the first batch of netizens who flocked to the official website didn’t disappoint. Almost half of them placed an order after seeing the product information on the website, while the other half hesitated due to the price and waited for the experimental results from others. After all, they had been tormented by advertisements and their hearts were almost broken.

Fang Ziyang wasn’t surprised by this situation either. The selling price of the beauty essence was indeed not cheap.

In the advertisement, he showcased only one product from the beauty essence series, which consisted of different types such as Beauty Essence No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and so on, with varying effects and prices.

The one he presented in the live broadcast was the best one with immediate results, priced at 9,999 yuan per box.

It did sound frighteningly expensive, but a careful analysis of the costs revealed that the price was absolutely cost-effective.

Although he could provide the formula, it still required the efforts of the research team. All the ingredients used in the product were genuine Chinese medicinal materials, and the effectiveness of the product depended entirely on the age of those medicinal materials. The high cost naturally resulted in a high selling price.

For those who couldn’t afford the expensive one, they could choose the lower-priced options. However, the lower-priced products would take longer to show effects, and the final results would be slightly inferior.

When formulating the product series, they had already considered the economic capabilities of consumers at different levels.

On the official website, all the information about each product, including the expected time for results, was clearly stated. The government had also approved and completed all the necessary procedures, ensuring the quality.

Although some people criticized the prices online, many others had positive comments:

“Those who doubt the reasonable pricing obviously haven’t carefully read the product description. Although it’s a bit expensive, considering the raw materials and the final results matching the live broadcast, I believe it’s definitely worth the price… I’ve already ordered a box and will provide feedback.”

“Mama, do you know how I felt when I saw the prices on the official website? I suddenly felt so poor that I doubted my life…”

“9,999 yuan per box! Is this pricing really reasonable?”

“Is the product’s effect really as good as shown in the live broadcast? Will there be any side effects from the immediate results?”

“Why do I feel like it’s not real? That live broadcast must be fake. Can the Industrial and Commercial Bureau really turn a blind eye to such pricing?”

Many people criticized the prices, but there were also many positive comments.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

“The person upstairs is right. If the product’s effect is really the same as shown in the live broadcast, then the price is incredibly reasonable. Getting a whitening injection at a beauty salon costs several thousand yuan at the cheapest, and the results are still debatable.”

“9,999 yuan is the price of the most expensive one. If you can’t afford it, you can choose a cheaper option. It’s a series, right? The lower-priced products may take longer to show results and the final effect may be slightly inferior, but it’s similar to buying regular skincare products.”

“I checked, each product has been registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the official health procedures have been completed.”

“I bought one for 1,999 yuan. It’s supposed to show results within two months. I’ll give it a try. After all, the effects in the live broadcast were amazing!”

“I also bought the 999 yuan one. It shows results in three months. My skin has been through so much. I’m willing to be a test subject for everyone.”

“I bought the 499 yuan one. Wait for me…”

Appearance is something that people of all ages and genders pay exceptional attention to, especially women. They can endure any amount of pain for the sake of beauty.

People are willing to go under the knife or get injections to modify their appearance, so when they see something that can change their skin with just a drink, the risk they’re taking seems much smaller compared to cosmetic procedures. If they don’t have the courage to try it, they might as well be dead for those who love beauty.

The beauty essence series had different price ranges.

On the day after the live broadcast, those who were both beauty-conscious and courageous enough chose the product that suited their financial capability.

On the third day, when customers in the same city as Jiangshi received the product and tried the ones with immediate effects, they shared videos of their experimental results through their Weibo and live streaming accounts.

This caused a real uproar and made the beauty essence completely viral on the internet.

One of the most impactful videos was shared by a female student from a university in Jiangshi.

Her name was Zhou Lingling, and her facial features were actually very good. She also maintained a hot figure. However, the only flaw was that she constantly suffered from acne on her face, and neither medicine nor cosmetic procedures could solve the problem…

Since middle school, Zhou Lingling had been subjected to sympathetic or mocking looks from her classmates and friends because of the acne on her face. The acne was like a nightmare that haunted her throughout her growth.

To get rid of the acne on her face, Zhou Lingling had gone to extremes.

After watching Fang Ziyang’s live broadcast, she thought that this beauty essence seemed like the purification and marrow-cleansing technique from the novels she had read. Her acne could be considered a toxin resulting from imbalanced hormone secretion, so it should fall within the range of treatment, right?

Whether it was exaggerated in the advertisement or not, as long as it had even a slight effect, it was worth buying!

Without any hesitation, Zhou Lingling immediately rushed to Dongsheng Pharmaceutical’s official website after closing the live broadcast and placed an order. The price and safety of the product were not even in her consideration.

As long as it could solve the acne on her face, she would even drink poison without changing her expression!

Thanks to the local express delivery service, she received the package the next day.

Although she was anxious and not afraid of any side effects, Zhou Lingling had high expectations for the product. She had been deceived enough by advertisements.

Instead of consuming the product right away, Zhou Lingling opened her own live streaming account and prepared for a live broadcast.

Since Fang Ziyang dared to do such a live broadcast advertisement, he must be prepared for more rigorous scrutiny from everyone. People couldn’t be easily fooled.

After explaining the situation to the few hundred fans in her live streaming room, Zhou Lingling courageously followed the instructions and drank a bottle right in front of the camera.

“You all must be familiar with the condition of my face, which has been troubled by acne since middle school. I’ve tried both Chinese and Western medicine, but nothing worked…”

“Do you know what nicknames I had? In middle school, they called me ‘Acne.’ In high school, they called me ‘Flower with Acne.’ In college, they were more subtle, at least from their perspective, the ‘Killer of Backs’ nickname made me feel like they were praising my figure…”

“I don’t expect this beauty essence to be as good as Fang Ziyang’s live broadcast, but as long as it has some effect, I have decided to become Fang Ziyang’s loyal fan! I will be a loyal customer of Dongsheng Pharmaceutical.”

With teary eyes, Zhou Lingling shared her experiences and expectations.

She had truly been driven crazy by the acne on her face. It was a disaster for someone who loved beauty like her.
