Chapter 580: 129: Massive Change_7

By now, Astrid must be at her wits’ end!

With this thought, Sofia frowned slightly, feeling ever more certain that her friend had been duped by Beauty Chant’s marketers. What was most important was that she had long heard that people from Hua Country were cunning and excel at conning others through pyramid schemes!

"Astrid, don’t you think your decision was a bit impulsive? If Beauty Chant doesn’t sell, you’ll truly be left with nothing!"

Astrid said with a smile, "Whether it sells or not, doesn’t my face tell you everything?"

Her face was now her best advertisement.

In Deli State, it was hard to find a girl with better skin condition than hers.

Freckles had nearly become their signature.

In a moment, Astrid continued, "On my flight back home, quite a few girls asked me what skincare products I use!"

She even managed to sell three skincare sets because of her casual encounters.

Sofia frowned slightly and didn’t say another word.

She was worried...

What if the side effects of Beauty Chant had a latency period of more than three months?

Even after getting home, Sofia still hesitated to use the skincare products Astrid had given her.

At that moment, her sister Jennifer walked in and, seeing the skincare products on Sofia’s makeup table, curiously asked, "Sis, have you changed your skincare products?"

"Mhm." Sofia nodded slightly.

Full of curiosity, Jennifer picked up the skincare product and said with a smile, "It’s even an imported freckle-removing product. How effective is it?"

Jennifer’s face was covered with many spots.

Think and close.

In Country P, she never minded the freckles on her face, after all, it was a sign of good fortune, until she went to study in Country R.

People in Country R did have freckles, but they only had a few light spots, and since then, she got a new nickname—

Spotty dog!

So, seeing a freckle-removing product, she was somewhat excited.

But after seeing where it was made, Jennifer paused for a moment, then her brows lightly furrowed.

Made in Hua Country?

Who didn’t know that Hua Country was poor and backward...

The skincare products manufactured in such a country might not even be usable, let alone effective!

Sofia didn’t directly answer Jennifer’s question but repeated what Astrid had told her to Jennifer.

Upon hearing this, Jennifer said with a laugh, "Did Astrid personally tell you this?"

"Mhm." Sofia nodded slightly.

Jennifer added, "I trust Astrid. If you don’t dare to use it, give it to me! If you do dare, I’ll go and buy a new set from Astrid."

Jennifer had long wanted to rid herself of the nickname Spotty Dog!

With their school on a two-month vacation, if Beauty Chant really worked, she could dazzle everyone when she returned to school after the holidays!

Over the years, she tried many different freckle-removing products, so there was no harm in trying yet another set!

Furthermore,

The distributor was Astrid, whom she had grown up with since they were kids; Astrid had no reason to scam her own people.

Hearing this, Sofia said with some surprise, "You really want to try it?"

"Of course!" Jennifer nodded firmly.

Sofia frowned imperceptibly, "Aren’t you afraid it might wreak havoc on your face?"

Jennifer laughed out loud, "What’s there to be scared of! Besides, if Astrid isn’t afraid, why should I be?"

Upon hearing this response, Sofia’s mind cleared instantly.

If her younger sister wasn’t afraid,

What was there for her to fear?

Sofia said next, "I’ll use this set myself, and I’ll buy another set for you from Astrid."

Jennifer seemed unable to wait, "Sis, let’s go find Astrid right now, shall we?"

The two homes were very close.

Sofia couldn’t resist her sister’s insistence, so she took her sister with her to find Astrid.

Elsewhere.

Qing City.

Lin Guixiang brought a plate of washed fruit to Lin Wu’s room.

Lin Wu was sitting at the computer desk, rapidly typing on the keyboard, her pale hands becoming a blur of motion.

"Xiao Wu." Lin Guixiang didn’t push the door and enter directly, but instead stood knocking at the door.

"Mom, just come in," Lin Wu responded.

Lin Guixiang entered the room.

"Xiao Wu, have some fruit."

"Thanks, Mom," Lin Wu said, as she clicked ’save’ on the completed work before adding, "Why haven’t you slept yet?"

It was already past midnight.

Usually, Lin Guixiang would have been asleep by this time.

Lin Guixiang said, "I was just chatting with Astrid. She has found a location for the shop over there. Before the New Year, I might have to make a trip to Deli State in Country P with Xiao Li."

Not visiting Country P still left some unease.

Completing her thought, Lin Guixiang continued, "Once I finish the business in Country P and move, we could just celebrate the New Year in the new house."

The renovation of Tang Dynasty Yipin was already complete, and now they were just waiting for the smells and formaldehyde to dissipate.

Even though the materials Lin Wu purchased were of the highest quality.

Moving in right after the renovation was completed would still somewhat harm human health.

Lin Wu nodded slightly, "Alright. Mom, is it just you and Xiao Li going?"

"Your aunt was supposed to go as well, but with the New Year approaching and being busy at the company, it will just be Xiao Li and me."

End-of-year duties included arranging holidays, organizing annual meetings, and giving out bonuses...

Lin Guixiang wished she could grow a couple more arms and heads.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Wu said, "Country P is different from us; ordinary citizens there all have firearm licenses, so riots often occur. It may not be suitable for you and Xiao Li, two girls, to go alone. Maybe take a man with you."

After saying this, Lin Wu added, "The security team captain Zhou Tao isn’t bad. Why not bring him along?"

Zhou Tao was an ex-soldier and had been a combat instructor. With him there, Lin Wu would feel more at ease.

Lin Guixiang was someone who took advice well. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll talk to Zhou Tao about it tomorrow."

Zhang Family.

Zhang Xianxian had waited three days for the talisman paper, and at last, it arrived.

She followed the System’s instructions, burnt the talisman paper to ash, and drank it all with water.

After drinking the talisman water, Zhang Xianxian frowned slightly, "Is this really useful?"

[Don’t worry, host, it’s definitely effective,] the System replied.

Zhang Xianxian then said, "My luck is so low right now, everything is on a downward slope. Can’t you find a way to let me borrow someone else’s luck like Lin Wu does?"

Her Z plan had initially emerged with great expectations.

But due to issues with luck, it had been stuck until now.

The System hesitated for a moment before replying, [You can borrow, but currently you can only borrow from those whose luck is lower than yours, so borrowing from Lin Wu is not possible.]

"What about the people around Lin Wu?" Zhang Xianxian narrowed her eyes, "Shen Lijun was born into good circumstances, her luck must be fairly decent, right?"

She wanted everyone around Lin Wu to become pitiful creatures!

Besides.

She was also curious to see, once Shen Lijun became a penniless beggar, whether Lin Wu, that thief, would keep being friends with her!

[Shen Lijun is feasible; her luck is only half that of Lin Wu’s,] the System continued, [Are you sure you want to bind with her?]
