Release of the fairyland blue bird, the witch said she couldn't stand it

Chapter 394 A Nationwide Carnival!

Besides those small sects that raise prices first and then lower them, I can't think of anything else.

Some smaller sects have also started offering bundled sales.

Price reduced by 20%?

you can!

However, this price reduction is tied to "spend more, save more" offers.

To get this discount, you must place an order for other overpriced or slow-moving items in your own shopping cart.

Some people have even thought of a "word game package".

The 'Lingmi Candied Fruit 500g Pack' was changed to '618 Special Offer 450g Pack', and the price was reduced by 20%.

Finally, on the product details page, use the smallest font size to indicate "Net content recently adjusted".

Compliant yet profitable!
And then there's the brilliant idea of ​​[the art of delaying pre-sales].

This allows your store to participate in the 618 shopping festival without having to ship the goods immediately. If you delay, someone might apply for a refund.

There are also deceptive tactics like offering free gifts, member-only prices, and so on.

One is 618.

This directly propelled the e-commerce version of the cultivation world to leapfrog several versions.

soon.

After all the eligible businesses have registered.

Wansan Group released information about its 618 promotion.

This immediately caused a huge uproar.

The buzz instantly overshadowed the previous scalping incident, and from major internet celebrities to small-time livestreamers, the entire internet was discussing this promotional event.

A 20% discount?
And they're just merchants!

In addition to this discount, Wan San Group will also be issuing a total of 168 coupons!
Even if you can't get those with no entry requirements.

500-90 and 100-15 are also good, right?

A product that costs 100 spirit stones can now be bought for around 65, which is almost half the price.

Many people have been longing to buy these things but couldn't bring themselves to do so, and now they can finally make up their minds and bring them home!
The final "Collect Five Blessings" event was an even bigger bombshell.

Take less?

Eight hundred million?!
If you collect them all, wouldn't you instantly achieve a leap in social class, financial freedom, and a fulfilling life?

And there are also hidden lucky cards!

House, car, round-the-continent trip, residency quota, empty shopping cart, and even dining with the CEO!
Eh?
Having dinner with the CEO?
What's the point of this?
although
While I'm honored to receive it, it's nothing compared to the other hidden lucky card rewards, right?

However, some astute individuals realized that something was amiss.

According to the information released.

There is only one lucky card for "Having Dinner with the CEO".

Well known.

No matter what it is, the rarer it is, the more precious it is.

For ordinary people like them, having a meal with the CEO is nothing special.

But for a powerful figure, or a high-ranking official, dining with the CEO is a different matter.
The benefits that the president could casually tell him about future trends or some business plans are not things that can be measured in spirit stones!

Let's say that.

A single meal can even revive a sect on the verge of bankruptcy!

If I'm lucky enough to draw this lucky card.

Even if you sell it to someone else, the profit you get is incomparable to that of other hidden lucky cards!

that's the truth.

Many renowned figures, upon learning of this lucky card, have announced that they are willing to repurchase it at a high price, or even an astronomical price!

The sect leader of the Chuanliu sect was one of the buyers who offered a high price.

This was a few years ago.

Chuanliu Sect is one of the most renowned top sects in the Sacred Land of Mountains and Seas.

only.
The Shanhaiyu region is a region located in the ocean.

I'm using my phone way too late now.

When they wanted to enter emerging industries, they found that all industries were already overcrowded, and they couldn't get in if they were even a step late.

And under the various cultural impacts of the new world outside.

Apart from the most loyal members of the Kawami sect.

A large number of people left, from direct line elders to outer disciples.

The remaining group of people also remained distant.

If the Chuanliu Sect cannot find a way out, this huge sect will probably exist in name only.

Ultimately, it may end up like many other sects.

Left with no other choice, they mortgaged the sect to the Wan San Group.
It was called a mortgage, but in reality it was sold.

Since you've already gone this far, mortgaging your sect is impossible unless your ancestors' graves for eighteen generations collectively emit auspicious smoke.

and so.

No matter what, even at any cost, the sect leader of Chuanliu Sect was determined to get this opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the president and ask him for guidance on how to lead the sect out of trouble.

Huolian Valley Industrial Base – Air Conditioner Production Workshop.

The roar of the assembly line paused briefly.

A group of sweaty snails took a break during their lunch break to start discussing 618.

Wang Tiezhu wiped the machine oil off his face with his calloused hands and pulled a secondhand mobile phone with a screen shattered into a spiderweb pattern from his work pants pocket.

The announcement for the "618 Shopping Festival" pushed by Douyin flashed in the notification bar. He squinted his eyes, which were red from the welding light, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Brother Zhu, what are you laughing at?"

Li Ergou from the next workstation came over, still smelling of pungent cooling oil.

"look!"

Wang Tiezhu shoved his phone in front of him:
"Wan San Group is having a huge sale! Everything will be 20% off in a couple of days, and you can even grab coupons!"

His fingers, with metal shavings embedded in his fingernails, poked at the screen:

"This premium yo-yo is also on sale! My son keeps talking about it. It was originally 8,800 yuan, but now it's only 7,000! If we can also snag a 1,000-200 yuan coupon..."

The rest area in the corner of the workshop suddenly became agitated.

Several female workers surrounded Sister Zhao, their mouths watering as they stared at the cosmetics pages she was looking at.

"Lancôme Fairy Dew three-piece set, now reduced by two thousand spirit stones?"

Wow, this dress is on sale too!

"Estée Lauder's foundation is on sale too, that's great!"

Hearing what the female workers said, one of the male workers couldn't help but sigh:
"My wife has been talking about Estée Lauder and stuff like that for almost half a year."

Suddenly, the assembly line supervisor's yelling and cursing erupted:
"Three-minute lunch break is over! Get back to work!"

Everyone bounced back to their posts like spinning tops, and began their numb daily work.

Wang Tiezhu bent down and crawled into the condenser pipe welding area, where the high temperature of tens of degrees Celsius instantly steamed through his tattered vest.

“Click, click—”

The production line restarted, and the robotic arm hammered the uncooled copper tube into the mold.

Wang Tiezhu had to complete a welding operation every six seconds; if he was even slightly slow, the welds would pile up like mountains.

Sweat stung his eyes, but his mind was racing:

My son wants a yo-yo, it costs 7,000.
My wife's cosmetics cost 3,800...

The entire roof of the self-built house was replaced with high-grade tiles from Wan San Group, costing approximately 20,000 yuan.
The electronics factory has no windows.

But a spark ignited in the heart of every worker.

Amid the ceaseless roar of the assembly line, they use their calloused hands to carefully load the family's hopes into the shopping cart on Douyin.

"Bang!"

Wang Erma, who had been working diligently by the assembly line, suddenly collapsed next to the conveyor belt.

This is the third time this month that someone has suffered from heatstroke.

The security guards dragged him away with practiced ease, like dealing with a malfunctioning machine.

Wang Tiezhu glanced up briefly, then lowered his head to continue working, the sparks from the welding torch illuminating his cracked lips.

it's here.

It's common for cattle and horses to fall down.

Tie Zhu was somewhat relieved.

Fortunately, Wang Erma wasn't on my line, otherwise I would not only have lost my bonus, but I might also have had to work overtime tonight.

At this moment, whispers could still be heard from the surroundings:

"Early illness is better than late illness."

"Now our team's bonuses are definitely gone."

"Shut up!"

The line leader interrupted the worker.

But in his heart, he was calculating how many overtime shifts he would have to make these people work to make up for Wang Erma's production capacity.

The machines continued to roar, and the line leader was lost in thought:
"Damn it!" the line leader muttered under his breath, pulling out his cigarette case and walking out of the workshop.

Wansan Building – White-collar office area.

Office building break room.

【drop--】

Just as Rikka poured instant coffee into a mug printed with the word "blessing" and returned to her private office, her phone was suddenly flooded with notifications from her colleague on Douyin.

"Everyone collects five blessings? Share 800 million?!"

Zhang Wei, working at the outer workstation, slammed his hand on the table, his employee badge dangling in front of his chest like a twitching pendulum.
"I have to go for it! If I win that apartment, Xiaomei will definitely want to be with me!!"

The keyboard clattering in the office paused eerily for three seconds, then erupted into an even more intense clattering sound.

Everyone was secretly logging into Douyin Mall using the company computers.

Holy crap! 15 off for every 100 spent!

Intern Xiao Wang suddenly let out a howl, and immediately a sinister coughing sound came from the supervisor's office.

He hunched over and sent a message in the department group chat:
[Hey guys, look! It looks like all the participating merchants are offering 50% off! Time to grab some deals! @All members]

(Director Wang of the Finance Department): [@Everyone, during the 618 shopping festival, grabbing coupons during work hours is prohibited. The group chat big data monitoring system has been upgraded.]

(Sales Manager Liu): [[Forwarded Link] "Wan San Group Hidden Lucky Card Strategy: Increase Your Winning Rate by 300% by Scanning the Lucky Character This Way!"]

(HR Director): [Defying the rules? Screenshot taken, performance bonus deducted +1]

(Sales Manager Liu): [?]

Rooftop smoking area.

Several well-dressed elites from the Wansan Group sat in a circle, their cigarette butts glowing in the darkness.

"I heard that collecting all five blessings allows you to have dinner with the CEO?"

If they get this lucky card, they'll not only thrive in the group, but they'll also rise rapidly in rank.

The planning director flicked his cigarette ash:
"I know a scalper who's willing to pay 50 million spirit stones to buy this meal ticket."

Everyone was silent.

This price is beyond what they can even dream of.

Qingyun High School.

The disciples here are also discussing 618.

Have you seen Baicaotang's snack lucky bag?

"Look, it's buy one case and get one case free! And the price is 20% cheaper!"

"Damn, you can imagine how ruthless their profits were before! They even made a profit after the price was halved?"

"Who cares! Baicaotang is already overwhelmed with orders, hurry up and buy! If we don't buy now, the waiting list will probably be until the month after next!"

"Hey, have you guys heard? Apparently, someone was under too much pressure and jumped."

Upon hearing this, one student's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"Does that mean we can have a holiday? We can then find someone to exchange for the Five Blessings!"

Another person immediately followed up:

"Dream on! Those who jumped earlier haven't been let off the hook yet. It's almost final exams, how could they possibly have a break? We cultivators can't die from falls, they're probably just trying to injure themselves to avoid the final exams."

"It's a pity, he's the top student in Class 4, it doesn't seem necessary."

“The top students are under even more pressure. Didn’t the top student in Class 3 get diagnosed with some kind of Yu Yu syndrome a while ago? It seems he has also taken a leave of absence from school.”

"Pshaw, a disease that doesn't hurt or itch is just being dramatic."

"Hehe, anyway, it's a good thing for us, we have two fewer competitors."

"Never mind, let's study first. I need to participate in the 618 shopping festival, but I can't neglect my studies either."

"OK!"

On the other side, the Ziyang Sect.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, a dozen cultivators were arranging their arrays and performing calculations in front of the light screen.

I started adding items to my shopping cart and calculating the best discounts and coupons.

Many people applying to Wan San Group even think that this full reduction calculation formula is harder than the postgraduate entrance exam.

The scattered draft papers on the ground were covered with writing:

[Basic Formulas]

Spend 300 - 50 → Actual discount ≈ 83%

*But the following conditions must be met:

1. Products from the same store

2. Non-pre-sale items
3. Cannot be combined with other coupons.

[Advanced Matryoshka Doll]

If store A offers a discount of 50 off orders over 300, store B offers a discount of 30 off orders over 200.
The optimal solution is:
(300×n+200×m)×0.8（主会场补贴）－50n－30m－(1000-150)优惠券。

*To trigger the cross-store discount, the total amount must be greater than 1000.

[Hidden Trap]

Some items are marked with a '618 price' but are actually 80% of the regular price → and are not eligible for any discounts or coupons.

'Items with no minimum purchase coupon' and 'second item half price' are mutually exclusive.

The '1000-200' coupon I snagged at midnight is only valid for beauty products.

One of the disciples had black smoke billowing from his head, indicating he was going mad, and kept muttering:

"It's impossible to calculate, absolutely impossible to calculate."

And as the big sale gets closer...

The collection of the Five Blessings Cards has gradually become popular.

Many people have noticed that it's incredibly difficult to scan the "Friendly Fortune" QR code!

Even rarer ones like the "Respectful Blessing" card.

But some lucky people will scan two.

Therefore, the second card will be exchanged for another lucky card that the user does not already own, or simply sold.

But let alone scanning, Youshanfu was not detected.

Even searching for keywords like "friendly blessing" on Douyin (TikTok) doesn't yield any results showing anyone scanning this blessing card.

Perhaps some people have already opened them.

But it's possible that they didn't make a fuss about their wealth in order to keep it hidden.

But the entire Douyin (TikTok) platform was completely silent, which is a bit strange, isn't it?

Even if some people prefer to keep a low profile, there will always be some big shots who like to show off, right?
No matter how.

The "Friendly Blessing" is definitely the hardest to collect.

But the more so.

People's desire for good fortune grew even stronger.

No one has scanned the "Friendly Fortune" card yet. If I manage to get one myself, wouldn't I be able to split 800 million spirit stones all by myself?!
"sweep!"

The sect leader of Guiling Sect simply rallied all the elders and disciples.

I haven't done anything for the past few days.

The entire sect is scanning for the character "福" (fortune/blessing)!

Based on various mystical patterns recommended by Douyin bloggers, I then posted on Douyin to buy them at high prices.

Even though this is of little use.

But who knows?
What if?
Song Yaxuan is the personal disciple of the Guiling Sect Master and the future successor of the sect.

Rather than scanning this non-existent "Friendship Blessing," he preferred to go back to his room and offer some guidance.

But unfortunately, this was a strict order from the sect.

He sighed and, as usual, glanced at the screen haphazardly.

The result was not what he expected.

It's still a friendly blessing.

Hey.

etc.
Hey?
Eh? !

Song Yaxuan's eyes widened.

Friendly and blessed!
He was about to shout, but he suppressed his elation the next second.

can not say!
A staggering 800 million spirit stones!

There's no need to explain what the consequences will be if I tell you.

The best outcome would be for the sect leader to give himself a small reward, with the rest going into the Guiling Sect's 'public treasury'.

But if you don't make it public...
He pocketed 800 million all by himself!
What kind of disciple is the Sect Master of the Guiling Sect?

The reason why they went to great lengths to cultivate me and take me under their wing is because they see my talent and the possibility that I might be admitted to Wan San Group in the future.

He doesn't care!
Just tonight.

Song Yaxuan escaped.

They hid directly in the deep mountains and forests, which even the Wansan Group felt had no development potential.

Next, he just needs to wait patiently until June 18th, when he will receive this huge sum of 800 million!
