Ch 83 (Part 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

All non-Huaguo citizens could apply for this certificate, but whether the application would be successful depended on specific reviews. The application was voluntary and not mandatory.

As for what constituted special goods?

For example: the popular beauty serum recently launched by Huaguo overseas…

Of course, compared to the chip ID card implanted directly into the brain domestically, this certificate took the form of a wristwatch.

After all, foreign nationals would certainly not trust their country as much as Huaguo’s domestic citizens and dare to let the government put things into their brains. And the functions were also slightly different.

Once this news came out, the negative voices on foreign networks criticizing Huaguo’s nationwide replacement of chip ID cards momentarily stagnated, and a different kind of voice emerged.

“This… I heard that this Huaguo Overseas Certificate is like a VIP card for shopping malls. You don’t have to implant it in your brain like the chip ID card. Maybe we can give it a try. You know, that beauty serum from Huaguo is selling like crazy. Even if it doesn’t have the same effect as shown in the videos, it must have something unique. Why not… give it a try?”

“If it’s a wristwatch that can be taken off… I think I can accept it.”

“Although my impression of Huaguo is so-so, such a big thing can’t be too sloppy. And Huaguo’s development in the past twenty years can definitely be described as rapid. It’s not as bad as the news portrays.”

“But it’s just a shopping voucher. I really don’t understand what you guys are worried about. I’ve been eyeing that beauty serum from Huaguo for a long time. I’m going to apply for it immediately, hehe!”

“I’m going too. I heard that the company in Huaguo announced some kind of qualification for limited purchases. We definitely shouldn’t buy from scalpers. If the effect is really that good, it’s worth the trouble…”

The allure of beauty is incredibly powerful. Some people are willing to sacrifice their own health for the sake of beauty. Applying for something like a shopping voucher is no big deal.

The beauty serum not only improves appearance but also solves the body odor problem that bothers most foreigners.

Regardless of what others say, those who are enticed by the beauty serum became the first group of international individuals to apply for the “Huaguo Overseas Certificate.”

Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals had made sufficient preparations for the government’s implementation of the “Huaguo Overseas Certificate” and had stocked a large inventory, waiting for the first batch of customers from abroad to order the beauty serum.

They also launched promotional discounts on their newly established international official website.

As long as foreign people personally experience the effectiveness of the beauty serum and generate a demand for it, the number of people applying for the Huaguo Overseas Certificate will increase proportionally. When more and more foreigners start using the certificate, Huaguo no longer has to worry about receiving any threats through information, but can instead constrain its enemies.

Although the domestic population didn’t fully understand the rationale behind it, the “Huaguo Overseas Certificate” sounded upscale, and since the government was actively promoting it, it must be beneficial for the country.

Some astute individuals spontaneously left comments on Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals’ official website:

“I haven’t bought enough beauty serum for this month. Let’s leave this opportunity to foreign customers, so they can experience the wonders of our traditional Chinese medicine. Hahaha.”

A month’s time was nothing for our etiquette-oriented Huaguo. Let’s all apply for our country’s overseas certificate and experience the joy of staying up late to place orders together… Come on, let’s embrace beauty.

One of the biggest flaws of the people in Huaguo was their fondness for spectacles and following trends, especially when it was related to patriotism.

Thus, word spread like wildfire, and within a few days, orders for the beauty serum plummeted. Everyone wanted to show off the good things from their own country.

As a result, the first group of international applicants for the overseas certificate easily obtained the product.

With the delivery of the products, the beauty serum truly sparked a craze overseas.

M Country, New York.

Robinson High School.

A fair-skinned, skinny, blond boy with acne all over his face sat in his seat with an embarrassed expression. Several strong male and female classmates surrounded him, their expressions mocking and taunting.

“Ross, I heard you applied for that Huaguo Overseas Certificate? Is it for buying that beauty serum? Haha, you idiot actually believe in the medicine from that backward country? Aren’t you afraid of eating something that will make you even uglier?”

“That’s right, Ross, you moron. You actually believe in the online advertisements. Although those videos circulating from Huaguo don’t show any signs of editing, they must be just acting. How could there be such a magical beauty product in the world? This isn’t Harry Potter; there’s no magic in the world. It’s all just hype…”

“Julie, you shouldn’t say that. Ross has been struggling with those disgusting red bumps on his face for a long time. If there’s no hope for a cure and he looks this ugly, it would be better for him to die. It’s reasonable for him to try something with even a slight possibility. As the ugliest guy in our class, he is suffering, and you guys shouldn’t mock him. It’s really going too far.”

“That’s true. Ross really should try that beauty serum and treat his face and body odor. I really don’t understand why there’s someone so ugly and smelly in the world. His body odor is really terrible…”

“But can we trust Huaguo’s traditional medicine? What if Ross becomes even uglier after using it? Hahaha.”

The excessively harsh and piercing laughter entered Ross’s ears, making him angry and sad. However, years of being ridiculed and excluded by his classmates due to his appearance and strong body odor had made him timid, weak, and insecure. He couldn’t dare to fight back; he could only sit with embarrassment and let the mockery wash over him.

Translated on ho lo lo novels dot com.

Ross tried hard to lower his head, burying his face in his chest, tears uncontrollably falling from his reddened eyes.

He wasn’t always this ugly. He used to be cute and beautiful as a child, and both boys and girls around him enjoyed playing with him. But ever since he entered middle school, red bumps started appearing on his face, and his body began to emit an odor that couldn’t be cured even by going to the hospital.

In the end, his mother took him to see a traditional Chinese doctor in Huaguo as a last resort. The doctor prescribed some medicine for him, and his condition improved slightly after taking it.

This time, with the persuasion of his good friend Bert and the recommendation of Bert’s brother David, who settled in Huaguo and had a better understanding of the country, Ross wanted to try purchasing the beauty serum that was said to be popular in Huaguo.

Somehow, the news leaked, and his classmates had been mocking him these past few days.

The surrounding mockery made Ross incredibly miserable.

Fortunately, his good friend Bert quickly appeared and angrily drove away those despicable classmates.

“Get lost! You bastards, always bullying Ross. Let me tell you, if you keep doing this, don’t blame me for being impolite. I’ve studied Judo, boxing, and even Bruce Lee’s kung fu! Be careful, or I’ll knock all your teeth out! Scram.”

Bert was tall and sturdy. Whether he knew Bruce Lee’s martial arts was unknown, but he was indeed the president of the school’s boxing club and was skilled at fighting.

No one dared to confront Bert, so they could only mutter insults like “ugly freak” and leave.

After everyone dispersed, Bert sat next to Ross, blocking Ross’s frail shoulder. He showed loyalty mixed with frustration and said, “Ross, how many times have I told you not to be so timid when others bully you? I specifically told those people that I have your back, but it’s because you’re too timid. You never tell me when you’re being bullied, and that’s why they act so arrogantly!”

“Those red bumps on your face and excessive sweating aren’t natural. They developed later on, and they can definitely be treated. Don’t worry. That beauty serum is really effective. My older brother assured me of that. Trust me.”

“Ross, I’ll say it again. You’re not allowed to be so cowardly in the future! Otherwise, I won’t bother with you anymore.”

“No, please don’t. I… I will try to change. Bert, I’ll really try, *sobs*…”

Ross became anxious upon hearing this, and he weakly grabbed onto Bert’s clothes. Tears flowed even more intensely, and he cried aloud, resembling a bundle of tears.

Bert was Ross’s best and only friend. If Bert also ignored him, he would be left all alone. It wasn’t that he was timid; he had simply become accustomed to feeling inferior. His timid and weak nature was difficult to change in a short time. However, for Bert’s sake, he would try his best.

“Alright, alright, I was just scaring you. Don’t cry. Let’s go home and see if the package has arrived. It should be about time. When it arrives, Ross will once again be the cutest and most beautiful boy.”

Bert couldn’t bear to see Ross cry, so he quickly changed his tone after speaking harshly. He switched to a gentle and comforting voice.

“Yeah!”

Ross was comforted and blushed, his eyes curved, and he obediently nodded.

After school, the two of them went home and specifically checked the package storage cabinet. Today was their lucky day as the long-awaited package had finally arrived.

Bert was even happier than Ross. He took the package and directly led Ross to his house. He adjusted the camera on his phone, carefully followed the instructions, and nervously consumed the contents of the package, waiting for the results.

After about ten minutes.

When they saw the visibly improved red bumps on Ross’s face in the mirror, Bert exclaimed, “Ross, your face is starting to improve!”

“*sobs* It… it really works…”

Ross nodded, and tears of joy once again streamed down his face.

But this time, they were tears of happiness.

Two weeks later.

Bert looked at the handsome, angelic blond boy in front of him, whose smooth skin now revealed his delicate features. His heart raced, and his tongue tied up.

“Ro-Ross, you look… you look really good…”

Ross blushed, and his emerald green eyes looked at Bert with a hint of shyness.

With the initial effectiveness of the beauty serum showcased overseas, the implementation of the Overseas Certificate went smoothly, once again demonstrating the power of those who pursued beauty.

Fang Ziyang looked at the reports sent by Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals every day, his eyes brimming with joy.

It was at this moment that he received an invitation from a government department.

Sandy: what’s the point of writing “M country” where “New York” is right behind it? Just write USA, author come on.

Also, in the world setting where men can get pregnant through medicine, why can’t they even cure acne? Doesn’t add up.
