Chapter 41: The Impending Ice Age

Chapter 41: The Impending Ice Age

"This effect should be very appealing to female customers," Hua Mi thought. He was confident that this batch of honey would sell quickly, perhaps even faster than the 500 bottles of Moon Slumber Flower Honey.

In his opinion, this wasn't an exceptionally explosive effect, and it could easily sell on Earth. Regular honey was already known for its nutritional benefits and its ability to promote metabolism and enhance beauty. His honey merely had a significantly more noticeable effect. Besides, the magical elements in the honey couldn't be detected even with Earth's instruments. What could be detected were the common sugar content and trace elements, which were all normal honey components. This was like having the endorsement of authorities, and there was no need to worry.

People who bought it would naturally enjoy the honey's special effects, and those who didn't believe it wouldn't purchase it, no matter what he said. The opportunity was in his hands. Hua Mi immediately logged into the online store's backend and posted a new product purchase page.

The selling points, aside from being additive-free and all-natural, were the most important ones: beauty benefits! It could effectively remove blackheads, acne marks, improve enlarged pores, restore the skin's optimal condition, and provide firmness and elasticity with full collagen. Finally, he added, "A full refund if it doesn't work!"

As for pricing, he thought for a moment and decided on 500 RMB per bottle. It was a fairly friendly price when compared to luxurious cosmetics, but it was still relatively expensive for honey.

Hua Mi believed the price was a bit high, but most people could afford it if they were determined, which would cater to a large portion of the population. If all 700 bottles were sold on Earth, that would be over 300,000 RMB.

That was considering the Earth's situation. If people from the other world also bought it, he would reconsider the pricing. The gold coins obtained in the other world could also be exchanged for RMB at the current gold price. However, he wouldn't do that easily because the exchange was one-way, and once converted to RMB, it might not be possible to convert it back.

After he published the new product sales page, there were quick comments in the comment section.

As expected, most people were concerned about the price. "500 RMB for 500g? Are you serious?" "Is your honey made of gold, or is the bottle made of gold?" "Wow, your beauty effects are more exaggerated than cosmetics. You're just bragging!" "Are you targeting women now?" "Who believes this nonsense?" "Pure IQ tax!"

Hua Mi wasn't concerned about the skeptical comments. He knew that once customers experienced the benefits of this honey, public opinion would naturally change.

...

Zhang Ya thought her boyfriend had some great ideas. He sent her a bottle of honey as a birthday gift.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

...

"Just one sip should be fine." Before going to sleep, Zhang Ya made herself a cup of honey water.

After all, it was a thoughtful gift from her boyfriend. Even if it wasn't, she could always run a few extra laps tomorrow.

She sipped the honey water. "The taste is really good; I want more... Wait!" A stern voice in her mind stopped her from taking another sip. The better it tasted, the more she should stay away. It was the temptation of the devil! Zhang Ya covered the honey, placed it out of reach, and went to bed. She had a comfortable dream, as if a gentle hand was massaging her.

When she woke up, her face felt slightly numb. She went to wash her face, and when she looked in the mirror, she exclaimed, "Did I forget to remove my makeup last night?" She was surprised when she saw that her skin was much whiter, smoother, and more elastic, and all the skin issues that had troubled her had disappeared. It was as if her skin had returned to its original state overnight. "Could it really be the effect of that honey?" Her worldview was starting to waver.

Could honey nowadays have such effects? She immediately took the bottle of honey down from the high shelf and examined it closely. Then, she searched online for related information. "Hua Yu Town... It used to be a famous honey-producing area, but it's rarely heard of now. Is it possible that pure honey has these effects?" She brainstormed for a while but couldn't come to a convincing conclusion. However, her skin had undeniably improved.

She picked up her phone and excitedly messaged her friends in the group: "Sisters, I've found a miraculous honey!" ...

The sales of the Feathered Flower Honey continued to grow steadily, from one or two bottles a day to more than ten, and on some days, over fifty. To prevent people from hoarding the product, Hua Mi set a limit of five bottles per person per month. The store's rating surpassed 4 stars, and the comments section witnessed a strong reversal in public opinion.

A bold male customer shared a before-and-after comparison of his skin, showing a significant improvement after using the honey for a week. The comments were filled with disbelief and admiration.

The night grew longer in the other world as the Water-Lull Moon's tail marked the prelude to the Ice Age. The Seven Little Ones' sleep time increased accordingly. During the day, they all appeared groggy, but honey was the one thing that could temporarily energize them.

Hua Mi had taught them how to make honey tea, and they had come up with various ways to consume honey, some of which were truly amazing. The mysterious seed also sprouted a tiny flower bud just before the Ice Age arrived.
