Chapter 44: Instant Slimming Weight Loss Pills
Pei Ye put down her ballpoint pen.
“What are you doing here instead of staying in the morgue?”
She raised her head and, unsurprisingly, saw a familiar figure, Ying Lin, dressed in a hospital patient’s gown.
The young man’s fine hair fell across his forehead. His deathly pale face and pitch-black eerie eyes could not conceal his handsome and refined appearance.
A pair of silver-rimmed glasses rested on his high nose bridge, making his face appear even more cultured and elegant, and making people unable to help feeling regret that he had died young at the most beautiful age of life.
He spoke slowly. “The hospital morgue is too deserted. There isn’t even a ghost to talk to.”
“Can’t your subordinates keep you company and chat with you?”
For example, that female ghost.
The young man shook his head. “They’re all afraid of me. They’re afraid I’ll eat them. It’s very boring.”
Pei Ye looked at the notebook spread open beside her. Every page had a talisman drawn on it with a ballpoint pen. This was the result of an entire afternoon of work.
“I’m not exactly good at chatting either.”
If he wanted someone to chat with to pass the time, he had chosen the wrong person.
She was currently obsessed with drawing talismans and unable to stop.
The young man narrowed his eyes with a smile. Through those glasses, it seemed as though one could see amusement in his eyes.
In reality, this was an illusion. A ghost’s eyeballs were pitch black, dead and emotionless.
“Just watching you draw talismans is enough. I’ve seen quite a few Celestial Masters before, but none of them drew as well as you.”
“You secretly watched Celestial Masters draw talismans?”
The fact that he had not been hunted down and attacked was quite impressive.
The young man said, “Not every Celestial Master can open their eyes. Most of them need the help of an Eye-Opening Talisman. I heard them say that sometimes even using an Eye-Opening Talisman doesn’t let them see everything. There are plenty of ghosts in the central hospital, and small incidents happen often. The hospital regularly invites Celestial Masters over to investigate. I followed them around and watched the excitement a few times.”
Yin-Yang Eyes were considered rare even among Celestial Masters.
Most had to rely on later cultivation and only truly open their eyes after reaching a certain level of strength.
Before that, they had to rely on Eye-Opening Talismans to see ghosts.
People born with Yin-Yang Eyes were those whom heaven had chosen for this profession.
Pei Ye did not possess Yin-Yang Eyes, yet she could easily see evil spirits and ghosts, which truly made her an oddity.
“The Eye-Opening Talisman is an intermediate-level talisman. I can’t draw it yet, but I will be able to in a couple of days.”
There were many books on Zhu Chun’an’s bookshelf, and the collection was quite varied. Most covered the mandatory subjects for Celestial Masters and explained everything in great detail, making them convenient for beginners studying on their own.
The young man sat beside her.
“You don’t need it anyway.”
Whether it was natural Yin-Yang Eyes or something else, the fact that she could see ghosts was real.
She had no need for assistance from something like an Eye-Opening Talisman.
Pei Ye said, “I don’t need it, but other people do. If I run into particularly troublesome clients in the future, the Eye-Opening Talisman will still be very useful.”
The young man: “???”
“Didn’t they say the country promotes the elimination of feudal superstition? A lot of clients doubt the existence of ghosts. Rather than wasting time explaining things to them and humbling myself, I might as well stick an Eye-Opening Talisman on each of them and open the door to a new world. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Once they see it with their own eyes, they’ll believe it, and I’ll save myself the trouble of explaining.”
The young man nodded in agreement. “Good idea!”
He watched as Pei Ye lowered her head and continued drawing talismans, one after another. Her movements were swift and efficient, and every talisman carried a stronger aura than any talisman he had seen in the hospital.
“Lei Yating, that’s your roommate’s name, right?”
“What about her?”
“One of my underlings discovered that she rented an apartment in XX Scenic Garden in the city center. It seems she’s planning to start a business.”
Pei Ye said, “Start a business?”
The young man suddenly became excited.
“I can help you uncover her business secrets!”
Pei Ye could not even be bothered to raise her eyelids.
As the female lead of a Red Packet Group novel, Lei Yating followed the all-round development route. Pei Ye could guess what kind of business she was running with her toes.
If she could not even figure that out, all those Red Packet Group novels she had been cramming lately would have been wasted.
“Isn’t it normal for university students to start businesses?”
The difference was whether the business succeeded or failed.
Lei Yating was not starting the business alone. She also had a startup partner helping her, Mei Lixiang.
After completely falling out with their dormitory roommates, the two deleted all their former roommates from their friend lists and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to posting advertisements for weight loss pills on their social media feeds.
Mei Lixiang acted as Lei Yating’s downstream sales agent.
For every box of weight loss pills she sold, she could receive ten percent of the profit or exchange it for other pills.
As a result, Mei Lixiang’s social media feed took on this style.
In the morning, she would post a selfie in front of a mirror, a photo of a weighing scale, and a photo taken before consuming the slimming powder.
[I’m crazily recommending an incredibly effective weight loss pill that I’m personally using. A guaranteed loss of 3.5 kg (~7.7 lb) in one week!]
She posted it once at noon and copied it again in the evening.
After two days of posting with no response, Mei Lixiang went to Little Red Book and other online sellers to learn their methods, copying their promotional text and making a few “improvements.”
[I absolutely have to recommend Instant Slimming Weight Loss Pills to all of you!!! They’re super effective! I used to be a huge fatty weighing 68.5 kg (~151 lb), and after one week I steadily lost 3.5 kg (~7.7 lb). I didn’t diet or exercise at all, and I even went out for several hotpot meals with my roommate Yating. I never missed a single late-night barbecue snack. Now I’m in my second week, and every morning I wake up feeling refreshed and energetic. No insomnia, no thirst, no hormonal imbalance problems, and even the pimples on my face have said goodbye to me. None of the pictures have been edited, absolutely not edited!]
She persisted for another day, flooding everyone with rainbow-fart praise that nearly sent people into blissful delirium.
When that still failed, she unleashed her ultimate move.
She sent private messages to several relatives who had long struggled with obesity.
At first, her relatives thought her account had been hacked and was sending advertisements for shady online products, but after chatting privately they realized it was really her.
“I heard these kinds of medicines are fake.”
Mei Lixiang anxiously replied, “It’s really effective! If you don’t believe me, I’ll start a video call and show you.”
After starting a video call and stepping onto a weighing scale, she finally convinced them it was genuine.
However,
“That medicine must be expensive, right?”
“Not expensive, not expensive at all. Right now it’s still the promotional launch price. It’s dirt cheap. One treatment course only costs seventy yuan. The second box returns to the original price of four hundred and ninety yuan.”
The relative saw that one box only cost seventy yuan. Compared with weight loss drugs on the market, it really was not expensive.
Mei Lixiang immediately pressed the advantage. “I guarantee it works. If it doesn’t, I’ll compensate you the full original price of the weight loss medicine!”
After making such a bold promise, the relative hesitated for a while before ordering a box to test the results.
After all, it was only seventy yuan, about the cost of going out for a couple of barbecue meals.
Using the method of selling to acquaintances, Mei Lixiang achieved considerable success that day and managed to sell a total of five boxes.
“You’ve worked hard, Lixiang. Once they’ve taken the medicine and seen weight loss results, they’ll definitely become repeat customers!”
Lei Yating had absolute confidence in the effectiveness of the pills.
If the pills had not been diluted, a single Slimming Pill could reduce weight by ten kilograms (~22 lb) in a single day.
After taking two pills, in less than a week a 70 kg (~154 lb) overweight woman could become a slim fairy weighing just over 45 kg (~99 lb).
As someone who had personally experienced the effects, Lei Yating could guarantee that the medicine had no side effects whatsoever!
Products made by immortals were always premium products!
Mei Lixiang worked hard to advertise Lei Yating’s Instant Slimming Weight Loss Pills, so Lei Yating felt embarrassed to be stingy and gave her some of the experimental pills she had personally refined.
Although the medicinal effects of these pills were not as strong as the pill red packets distributed by Supreme Lord Lao, they were still far superior to the diluted starch pellets.
