Chapter 1093: Chapter 1090: Is Five Sprays per Second Even Possible?
"Just say it straight!" Chen Dali looked at Lin Xiaoyun.
"When you’ve got money, try to spend less. Don’t come begging me when you’re broke, because by then I might not have any!" Lin Xiaoyun said, with a double meaning.
The few of them instantly got it.
They all burst out laughing.
The point was, with only 100 bottles each, once they were gone, even real brothers wouldn’t get more, let alone your own dad.
Li Bo Kai then looked at Luofeng and joked, "Brother Feng, I remember holly berries only ripen once a year, so on your end... how are you planning to handle it?"
The year wasn’t even over yet and he was already thinking about next year?
Lin Xiaoyun also started thinking about it. "No idea what the yield will be like?"
Chen Dali suggested, "I think we can start a health supplement company and sell the holly berries as a health product, officially!"
"Great idea, Brother Dali. You can cultivate it a bit—within five years tops, the market value of that company would be unimaginable!" Li Bo Kai said. "Brother Feng, your luck’s pretty insane too. Those three holly trees must’ve had a positive mutation!"
Luofeng shook his head. "You guys think way too far ahead. We’ll see when the time comes."
Anyway, if the transplanted ones didn’t work later,
then the plan could just be scrapped.
After all, production was limited; no way it could support opening some health supplement company.
Chatting as they walked, the brothers arrived at the Dried Fish Maw & Chicken shop.
The three of them—Chen Dali and the others—started downing Chicken Soup one after another, replenishing the nutrients they lost yesterday.
Even though the holly berries had turned them into real men, they still needed nutrition.
"We’re screwed!" Chen Dali suddenly blurted out.
"Oh?" Luofeng looked at him in confusion.
Li Bo Kai and Lin Xiaoyun also turned to look at Chen Dali.
Could it be he’d played hero yesterday?
"No way, Brother Dali, you didn’t drink that much yesterday. You went full hero mode? No umbrella?" Li Bo Kai asked curiously.
"Get lost!" Chen Dali rolled his eyes. "Capital City Institute of Technology is basically a sieve. Stuff like this is bound to leak! Including the effect of the holly berries!"
Li Bo Kai started checking the campus confession wall.
Good lord.
The news had already spread?
Lin Xiaoyun made complaints, "Li Bo Kai, your school is seriously toxic! Those bastards aren’t treating this as a secret at all!"
Luofeng said, "Honestly, it’s normal. Even if they don’t blab, someone else will. A lot of people know already."
Besides, this whole thing was something Luofeng had been forced to learn about and deal with.
His own trees mutating—what could he do about it?
He wasn’t afraid of people knowing; he was afraid of them scheming, which was exactly why he set up security, okay?
Chen Dali made complaints, "Brother Feng, what do we do now?"
Luofeng smiled. "Now you realize how serious this is? Relax, I’ve already taken care of it. Security over there is solid."
He quickly told them about the security team he’d arranged.
And about insuring the three trees.
"Hahaha, Brother Feng really is cautious!" Li Bo Kai laughed.
"Insuring three trees with a payout ceiling of a hundred million? Those three trees are worth more than people!" Lin Xiaoyun started making complaints again.
"But the three of us are about to face a huge challenge!" Chen Dali pulled a helpless face again.
"Of course! The people coming to beg are on their way!" Li Bo Kai understood what he meant.
Luofeng rolled his eyes. "You’re only realizing this now? I already saw the messages this morning."
A whole pile of messages.
Whether it was Qin Yi, Liu Yu, or others in their circle, everyone was fishing for information.
And once they got the intel, they’d come begging for a little, obviously.
They were all playing the pity card.
On normal days they brag like they’re war gods.
And now? They’re all saying how weak they are, how they’re ’one second five sprays’ and whatever?
Luofeng was genuinely curious.
He’d heard of three minutes, even three seconds.
But what the hell was ’one second five sprays’ supposed to be?
Big mouth from League of Legends?
Faced with this situation, Luofeng thought for a bit and said, "Pull all the people coming to beg into one group chat."
"Huh?"
"...Alright."
"Okay."
The three brothers were confused, but still did as Luofeng said.
They checked—there were a total of 15 people.
And this was just from one morning.
Who knew if later on the number of people in the know would explode geometrically?
Luofeng started posting in the group.
"Is everyone here?"
"Let me say this: there’s very little holly berry to go around! And while it works, it’s not that much better than the little blue pills!"
Chen Dali chimed in right away, "Yeah, the effect is actually pretty average!"
Lin Xiaoyun: I can attest, supply is limited!
Li Bo Kai: We only had 22 0.5 kilograms in total, and processing cost us 2 0.5 kilograms. We really don’t have much left!
Qin Yi: Begging for ten portions! I’m begging you, bros, I don’t wanna be a one-second-five-sprays guy!
Liu Yu: Same here, I want some too. I’m really weak as hell, she looks down on me. That look in her eyes—I’ve had enough!
A man’s mouth is full of lies.
If you believe him, you lose.
Li Feng: A 26-year-old late-blooming youth crying online, just five portions, five is enough.
Xu Kai: Come on, bros, stop pretending. University of Science and Technology already sold you out, including the lab results and real-world effects!
Yeah right—precisely because they knew the effect, these guys could shamelessly beg like this, okay?
"Brother Feng, what should we do?" Chen Dali asked.
These people coming to beg weren’t just from the Capital City circle; there were club people too. They’d be bumping into each other all the time.
Straight-up refusing wouldn’t be great.
"Let’s share a bit, but not for free," Luofeng thought for a while and said.
He added, "We’ll donate all the proceeds this time to elderly people living alone in Shanghai who need help, how about that?"
"How much should we charge per portion? The effect’s too good, I say we make it pricey," Li Bo Kai said.
"What price do you think works?" asked Luofeng.
Li Bo Kai considered it. "Since it’s for charity, let’s make it 8,888 yuan per portion?"
That price actually wasn’t expensive.
For rich second gens like them, it was basically pocket change.
"Alright then, we’ll set the price at that," Luofeng agreed.
Chen Dali asked, "How much are we giving out?"
Luofeng said, "Aside from the four of us, there are 11 people in the group. If we average five portions per person, that’s 55 portions. I’ll cover 25, and you each handle 10. How about it?"
Brother Feng didn’t need it anyway, and he still had the original roots at home—there’d be a harvest every year.
"No problem, thanks Brother Feng!"
"Let’s do it then!"
As for everyone else in the circle who caught on late?
Well, tough luck.
It was already spoken for.
They couldn’t accuse them of hogging everything, right?
They could only go hit up these 11 guys afterward.
That’d be their own problem.
