169: An air umbrella? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Do you need an umbrella?
At these words, the woman was instantly stunned.
So, after all that, this Young man in front of her was an umbrella Vendor?
The expression on the woman's face softened considerably. She had just come out of the bank and had assumed that everyone approaching her would be annoying flies trying to push various services, but she realized she had overthought it.
However, when she first came to the bank to conduct business, it was still sunny outside, so how could it be about to rain in the blink of an eye?
The woman peered her head out from under the eaves, looking up at the sky with a mixture of belief and doubt.
Sure enough, dark clouds covered the sky above, a heavy, oppressive mass, threatening to unleash a downpour at any moment.
If this young 'kid' hadn't reminded her, leaving the bank without an umbrella, she might really have been drenched like a drowned rat by a sudden downpour.
“Alright, in that case, I’ll take one of your umbrellas.”
The woman thought for a moment, then pulled out her phone, ready to pay.
Actually, the place she was going to was only eight or nine hundred meters from the bank. But to be honest, this distance was a bit awkward; walking might take ten minutes, but taking a taxi didn't seem very cost-effective.
And looking at the weather outside, it was definitely going to rain today. As for when it would start, no one could say for sure. Maybe in two minutes, or maybe it would wait another fifteen?
She hadn't brought an umbrella when she left home this morning, and it wasn't realistic to expect the rain to stop before she went to her next destination.
So, since she happened to encounter an umbrella Vendor, she might as well just buy one.
In front of the camera, Su Yu was first stunned, then his face lit up with joy! His expression showed a little excitement and thrill.
Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged her!
This beautiful big sister was indeed beautiful and kind-hearted. He had just opened his mouth to mention it, and before he even had a chance to state the price, she immediately agreed!
For such a trusting customer, Su Yu naturally had to show his appreciation.
Since the other party didn't even haggle over the price, he felt that, both as a Streamer and a public figure, he should offer a discount.
Moreover, so many viewers in the live broadcast room were watching. Su Yu didn't hesitate and spoke straightforwardly.
“Sister, since you trust me so much, I definitely won't cheat you. This is the first umbrella I'm selling today, a good start, so I'll give you a friendly price. How about a thousand yuan?”
What, o-one thousand yuan?!
An umbrella for a thousand yuan!! And this is a friendly price?
The beautiful woman's eyes widened in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard just now.
No, what kind of umbrella is this! Even an umbrella made of gold wouldn't sell for this price!
The woman was actually mentally prepared to be slightly overcharged.
After all, the other party was promoting umbrellas at the bank entrance, and it was close to raining, so raising the price on the spot was normal.
She could accept a slightly higher price.
But the woman never expected this Young man to open his mouth and ask for a thousand! This wasn't just a little expensive; it was incredibly expensive!
The hand the woman was about to extend quickly retracted as if it had touched a burning hot iron.
“Young man, say that again, how much is this umbrella?”
Su Yu nodded earnestly.
“A friendly price, one thousand yuan, sister!”
“What kind of umbrella is that? It's too expensive, I don't want it!”
The woman's expression changed, and she started to walk down the bank steps.
But just as her front foot stepped out, suddenly, there was a crack.
Amidst the dark clouds, a bolt of lightning sliced across the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap from the horizon.
The woman's determined steps came to an abrupt halt. She instinctively looked up at the sky, but before she could react, a rushing sound started from afar.
The dark clouds were torn open by the lightning, and from the sky, rain poured down as if it were free, countless raindrops hitting the ground with a crackling sound, kicking up dust.
Oh no, the rain came too fast and too suddenly, giving no time to react. The woman screamed, thinking her hair would get wet.
She had an important client to meet later, and if she looked too disheveled, she might very well mess things up.
However, to her shock, the torrential rain that followed a second later did not fall on her, but rather poured down all around her.
The woman's scream stopped.
She suddenly looked up at the sky above her head.
She saw that the scene she imagined above her head did not appear; something was blocking the torrential rain for her. Looking up, it was still empty, and she could see straight through to the sky.
Strange?
What's going on?
Why was she clearly outdoors, yet the rain falling from the sky wasn't getting her wet? Instead, it was as if a transparent cover had enveloped a one-meter radius around her body.
The woman narrowed her eyes and observed carefully for a moment longer.
Finally, she realized that the rain in the sky wasn't not falling; rather, it was falling at a position about thirty centimeters above her head, blocked by an invisible barrier.
On the ground, centered on her, a radius of half a meter was indeed not wet from the rain.
Everything seemed to indicate that an invisible air umbrella was covering her head.
“Hiss?! What's going on! Am I seeing things! Why isn't that woman getting wet even though she's standing outside?!”
“Look quickly, those people next to her are all scurrying with their heads covered, almost getting drenched like dogs.”
“Why is this happening? Could it be that something is blocking the space above her head?”
“Blocked, blocked, that’s it! Blocked! You're saying something is blocking the space above this woman's head, could it possibly be because of the Streamer's air umbrella?!”
“That's right, didn't the Streamer just explain that after the air umbrella is activated, it's not only colorless and invisible, but also blocks rain and UV rays? Look closely at the top of that woman's head; the rain is clearly falling from the sky, but it seems to be blocked by something.”
“So, the air umbrella the Streamer mentioned is serious?!”
Dami Technology press conference backstage.
Director Liu's eyes were practically bulging out of his head.
With his extensive knowledge and experience, he naturally saw at a glance that the reason the woman wasn't getting wet was not some supernatural phenomenon, but rather that she was being protected by some invisible barrier.
As for what this barrier was, his keen eyes immediately spotted it: an inconspicuous small electronic screen had appeared on the back of the woman's neck at some point.
And this screen was precisely the multi-functional umbrella that Su Yu had previously demonstrated to everyone in the live broadcast room!
It was also what he called the air umbrella.
So, all of Su Yu's seemingly wild and exaggerated introductions were true!
There really was an air umbrella! The air umbrella really could block UV rays! It could even automatically adjust its position to block rain based on the wind and rain direction!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!!
