89: Chapter 89 I'm Not That Stupid
At the same time, in 72 stores across 21 cities in the United States, each store was equipped with two Security Robots. These robots had typical Western faces... they were powerful and muscular, and even equipped with laser weapons.
It was all to prevent 'zero-dollar shopping'!
After countless people witnessed the magic of the Constant Temperature Clothing and the awesomeness of the wrist machine, they began entering the stores to make purchases.
The first wave of customers successfully bought the products they wanted...
But soon, customers saw a 'Sold Out for Today' notice posted at the stores!
The sales assistants kept explaining, "Due to limited production capacity, today's stock is sold out. Please come back tomorrow!"
Although the customers were dissatisfied...
But looking at the empty shelves, they could only leave with regret.
Those who managed to buy the items looked at the people behind them who couldn't get anything even with money, naturally feeling a sense of superiority. They began to 'humblebrag' on social media to show off their status...
Lucy wrote on Facebook: "Is winter in Texas cold? I can't feel it at all while wearing Constant Temperature Clothing!"
The accompanying photo was of her soaking in icy water...
David, a college freshman from a well-off family who liked new things and frequented nightclubs, also posted on Facebook: "Unfortunately... due to aging wiring, the nightclub caught fire! As Superman, I naturally had to go in and save people!"
The accompanying photo showed him standing on burning wood!
On this day... there were countless photos like this across the entire United States.
The Constant Temperature Clothing was more visually intuitive...
But the sense of superiority among wrist machine buyers was even stronger.
Those who bought both only needed to post a selfie with their hand raised to get countless likes!
At the same time, Amazon also began selling Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines online globally, though the quantity remained limited...
Only ten thousand sets were supplied on the first day...
Not many units of Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines were sold...
But the more it was like this, the easier it was to attract attention...
All over the world's major media outlets, there were news reports about Constant Temperature Clothing and wrist machines.
Especially the functions of the wrist machine, which left the whole world in awe...
Along with it, earth rescue also became a hit.
Foreign film distribution companies had previously approached Salmon Entertainment wanting to import it, but Salmon Entertainment's asking price was too high, and they couldn't reach an agreement.
Now these film companies came back, accepting the original quote...
Only for Salmon Entertainment to double the price again.
But even so, the foreign distribution for earth rescue was settled in a very short time.
Salmon Film and Television's official Weibo announced: earth rescue will be released globally in three days!
This acted as a shot of adrenaline for the domestic box office, which had been somewhat sluggish...
Directly tying with the box office champion of Xia Language films.
If global box office numbers were included, earth rescue might have a chance to climb to the top of the global all-time box office rankings.
Of course, this small amount of money was nothing in Gao Yuan's eyes...
After the press conference, he went to Future World.
Because there was one more thing waiting for him there.
Su Dai had arrived...
At the entrance of the 2024 Club, Gao Yuan met Su Dai.
Su Dai brought two robots with him, and these robots were carrying his equipment.
“Boss Gao, our appointed time has arrived. I wonder if you're ready?”
Gao Yuan smiled; if someone was looking for a beating, he would naturally oblige.
“Of course... Young Master Su, you'd better prepare a few extra pairs of pants, otherwise, it'll be uncomfortable if you wet yourself!”
Su Dai's smug expression froze. He realized that when facing Gao Yuan, he never won a verbal battle.
“No matter how well you talk, what's the use? What kind of scene haven't I seen? The ice waterfalls on Europa are five thousand meters high; have you seen them? The lava from the largest volcano on Mars shoots several thousand meters high; have you bathed in it?”
Gao Yuan chuckled, “I haven't... I'm not that stupid!”
Uh...
Su Dai was speechless. Damn you, Gao Yuan, just you wait!
“Young Master Su, let's go... Today isn't actually an adventure; it's just to let you witness the biological diversity of Earth!”
“Biology? Pfft... Mutant creatures are indeed fierce! I admit that, but natural creatures... Heh, trash!”
Su Dai didn't care.
“That's true. If you don't have protection, you really will be left as nothing but trash!”
Su Dai... felt he shouldn't talk to Gao Yuan anymore.
...
Entering the scene...
Su Dai took a look and gave a contemptuous smile, “Swamps and woods? You think you can stop me with this?”
“Yes... it can stop you! It can even make you cry for your daddy in fear...”
Gao Yuan sat in the rest area by the entrance, poured himself a cup of tea, asked Dandan to go down and pick some fruit, grilled a fish, and prepared to watch the show...
Su Dai looked at Gao Yuan with a playful expression and then took out his protective equipment...
A set of ancient Bright Mirror Armor.
It was all forged from high-quality steel.
“This doesn't count as cheating. Although the product is a later replica, the craftsmanship is traditional. No smart devices, no modern materials!” Su Dai said while putting it on.
Gao Yuan waved his hand, “Understood...”
Sneering in his heart, Bright Mirror Armor? Is it useful?
Then Su Dai put an iron mask over his head, wore small cowhide gloves, and leather boots on his feet that could protect his calves.
After being fully armed...
He also took a Mountain-splitting Axe, carried a Flamethrower on his back, and hung a Crossbow at his waist.
“Gao Yuan, I'm ready... Start the timer!”
Gao Yuan pressed the timer.
Because Su Dai was wearing so much gear, he naturally wouldn't choose the swamp; he went through the woods.
However, it wasn't easy to walk; there were rocks underneath.
He stumbled with every step.
After only about a dozen steps, there was a sudden buzz in front of Su Dai... a swarm of Killer Bees flew up.
But these Killer Bees couldn't sting through the Bright Mirror Armor at all, nor could they get through the gaps in Su Dai's visor...
Su Dai took off the Flamethrower and gave a blast. A burnt smell wafted out, and the ground was covered with the corpses of Killer Bees...
Su Dai laughed loudly, “Gao Yuan, is that it?”
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly froze...
Quite a few Bullet Ants fell from the trees overhead...
Because of their large numbers, some landed on his mask. The mask had gaps for breathing and seeing the path...
However, while these gaps could block Killer Bees, they couldn't stop Bullet Ants...
Su Dai hurriedly tried to clear them with his hands, but there were always ants that slipped through. One bullet ant entered Su Dai's mask through a gap.
Su Dai wanted to take off the mask, but there were still Killer Bees around...
He could only endure it...
Gao Yuan took a sip of tea outside.
Suddenly, he saw Su Dai jump up, letting out a scream like a pig being slaughtered...
Then he frantically tore off the mask and felt all over his face until he found a bullet ant and threw it on the ground...
Even so, the pain did not subside...
Su Dai began fumbling in his robe...
Trembling, he pulled out a pill and threw it into his mouth... After a few minutes, he slowly calmed down.
But by then, he was surrounded by Killer Bees. Having not put his mask back on, there was another round of screams. Gao Yuan couldn't bear to watch; his face was so swollen that he couldn't even put the mask back on.
It was too tragic...
And it had to be said, Su Dai's physical condition was very good. Even while wearing dozens of pounds of iron armor, he could jump so high...
Gao Yuan was envious.
He shouted from outside, “Young Master Su... do you want to come out and rest for a while? There's still time anyway!”
Su Dai thought about it. Right... retreat first, take some medicine, and then continue to face it head-on...
It's just a bunch of bugs. He had been careless, but there were too many bugs, making them impossible to guard against. Who knew what other bugs were further ahead... It would be better to change equipment and go through the swamp...
