Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 675: Grilling the Five Viscera and Six Bowels

"Sure." The junior accountant saw that Chen Yiyang agreed and immediately lowered her head to send a message.

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Yiyang picked up the junior accountant and placed her on the desk.

She hadn't finished sending the message, and with her last line of defense gone, Chen Yiyang advanced directly to the core.

After the madness.

The junior accountant snuggled in Chen Yiyang's arms, refusing to leave, trying to crush him with her weight.

"You've gained weight recently, haven't you?" Chen Yiyang held her and tested the weight, feeling that she had definitely put on more than a little.

"Yeah." The junior accountant admitted frankly.

"So I've been trying to lose weight lately. I was thinking of taking up swimming, they say it's a great way to lose weight without hurting your body.

But a friend of mine recommended a miracle weight-loss drug, claiming it can help you lose weight quickly.

I'm considering whether to try it myself."

"Isn't it a scam? Are there really such miraculous weight-loss drugs?"

Chen Yiyang had always been skeptical about any weight-loss drugs.

Without changing diet and exercise habits, no medication would work.

"It's called something like DNP, said to be able to rapidly burn fat and lose weight."

"Could it be dinitrophenol, that DNP?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"Yes, it seems to be that one." The junior accountant nodded.

Hmm.

Ever since chatting with Professor Lin, Chen Yiyang had read quite a bit about the mistakes humans have discovered in medical history.

Included among them was DNP.

So he said to the junior accountant, "Let me know before you take this stuff, so I can prepare your funeral in advance."

"Do you have to be so dramatic?!" The junior accountant looked incredulous.

Chen Yiyang had to introduce her to what this so-called miracle weight-loss drug DNP really was.

DNP was initially used to make explosives, and it was also one of the main materials for howitzers.

After World War I, with the end of hostilities, the materials used for war found no market, so people began to explore other uses for these raw materials.

A researcher at Stanford University quickly found out that DNP had an effect on human metabolism and could help people lose weight.

Yes, purely from an effectiveness standpoint, DNP can indeed aid in weight loss.

Its weight-loss principle is to block the conversion of energy within the body into ATP needed by cells, instead converting this energy into heat.

After taking DNP, the body has to work harder to produce ATP, using more energy to achieve this.

Therefore, for every 100 milligrams of DNP taken, the body's metabolic rate increases by an average of eleven percent.

It sounds quite wonderful.

But the side effect of DNP is heating the body up, basically turning your insides into a continuous barbecue.

Taking this stuff is like you're constantly self-immolating with a torch.

In relevant experiments, the average time to death after an overdose of DNP was 14 hours.

Most people would experience symptoms like sweating profusely within three and a half hours of taking it.

And even in small doses, DNP continues to harm all organs within the body.

This stuff is purely a poison.

Just that this poison, without an antidote, happens to have a side effect of weight loss.

So in 1938, food and drug administrations in various countries labeled this substance as extremely dangerous and unsuitable for human use.

Basically, all major countries banned this drug.

But what can I say.

Humans, when it comes to laziness, are both bold and persistent.

Because even though everyone with a medical understanding knows it's harmful to the body.

Its weight-loss effect is nonetheless so good that it outshines all other weight-loss drugs.

So doctors have continued to secretly mix small doses of DNP into pills and sell them to people wanting to lose weight.

In 2015, a female university student in the United Kingdom died after consuming DNP sold by illegal vendors.

Since DNP is still a material used in explosive production, waste, pesticides, and dyes.

It can be bought cheaply on the market.

Then diluted to make pills, which can be sold to customers at premium prices under the guise of an exclusive formula.

And in the information age, some young people troubled by appearances and weight issues are willing to try unapproved or illegal drugs on the market.

DNP disguises itself in various forms, sold as weight-loss medicine to unaware young people.

So, even though it's repeatedly banned, one can still find plenty of DNP weight-loss drug vendors through Google today.

In many poorly regulated places in Southeast Asia, there are small factories producing weight-loss drugs using DNP, which are then brought back domestically by different agents pretending to be legitimate weight-loss drugs.

Part of the DNP weight-loss drugs, due to the small diluted doses, do not show obvious side effects.

But long-term use will still cause issues within the body due to continual 'roasting' over the years.

Chen Yiyang didn't expect the weight-loss drug recommended to the junior accountant by her friend would also contain this DNP.

"Stay away from your friend in the future," Chen Yiyang admonished the junior accountant, "Such a person is either foolish or malicious. Regardless, they are not worth being around."

"I understand now." The junior accountant, having looked up what DNP specifically was, felt a chill of fear run down her back.

She did want to lose weight, but she didn't want her insides barbecued.

"If you really want to lose weight, why not do it yourself?"

Chen Yiyang suggested, urging the junior accountant to move herself on him while he merely enjoyed the process.

By the time Chen Yiyang and the junior accountant's interaction concluded,

Zheng Lu had been waiting in the reception room for quite some time.

So Chen Yiyang told the junior accountant to tidy up, while he went to the reception room to meet Zheng Lu.

"Mr. Chen, I'm really here to seek your help sincerely this time."

As soon as Zheng Lu saw Chen Yiyang, he walked over and started recounting their past association.

Chen Yiyang knew he was here because of the Redi Coffee situation.

After all, if Redi Coffee failed to go public, his situation would be dire. He might not even keep the money he'd made previously.

So he could only say helplessly, "Although Kuxing Coffee is now my business, it still has some shareholders.

I can help you, but your request has to be something I can present at the shareholders' meeting."

Chen Yiyang's meaning was very clear.

He could help, but it must not harm Kuxing's interests.

"I'm not here for Kuxing," Zheng Lu said, "I want the Nezha authorization you have to make a Nezha-themed coffee collaboration."

"Huh?" Chen Yiyang did not expect Zheng Lu to bring this up.

Ever since the second Nezha movie pulled in more than ten billion in box office earnings.

Nowadays, Nezha is definitely a top IP in the country.

Chen Yiyang's initial investment in Nezha not only reaped massive box office returns but earned several times the box office share in IP authorization revenue.

Previously, Kuxing also intended to collaborate with Nezha, but Mishu Ice City had offered a higher price.

At that time, Chen Yiyang was also on good terms with Mishu Ice City, so he temporarily gave the milk tea coffee authorization to Mishu Ice City.

Now, with the authorization close to expiry,

Chen Yiyang didn't expect Zheng Lu to actually be interested in Nezha's IP.
