Chapter 889: 888. Amazing presale volume!
"Excuse me, make way."
As Tang Shu’s voice fell, the corpses that were originally sprawled on the ground playing dead suddenly lifted their heads, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"You... you... you..."
"Weren’t you running that way?!"
"Wait, are you a female student?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
No wonder she looks so petite, I originally thought it was a little boy. It turns out they got the genders mixed up because of these oversized camouflage designs!
"No, no, no, that’s not the point. Are we actually knocked out by a little girl?!"
The two ’dead’ bodies belatedly realized this, their faces filled with horror as if mourning a death, already anticipating what awaited them in the future.
Tang Shu, listening to their back and forth chatter, expertly rolled her eyes, not wanting to reply a single word, and directly picked up the guns on the ground.
Aim and fire, all in one smooth motion.
After two gunshots, yellow smoke rose from the bodies of the four people who were fighting not far away, signaling that two of them were ’dead’, all in less than three seconds.
"Shit!"
"...Damn!"
The expletive at the beginning was obviously from the two who had yellow smoke rising from them, while the latter curse came from the two in front of Tang Shu.
"Dead bodies don’t talk, instructor, please remember this."
"..."
They were just surprised at the speed of the beauty’s shooting; wasn’t there a chance she might hit her own teammates? Four people tangled up, how did you manage to lock onto the enemy and finish them with one shot?!
Zhou Daniu on the side spat out the dirt in his mouth twice, lying on the ground giving a thumbs up towards this side.
"Sister, nice shooting!"
No wonder she could enter the assessment period being so petite. She must be a Sharpshooter; her shooting skills are killer!
Comrade Zhou Daniu didn’t realize his thoughts were getting further from the truth as he walked with Ren Xiazhi to where the instructors were gathered.
"What do we do now?"
"Collect the spoils of war," Tang Shu put down the gun, her eyes moving towards the backpacks on the ground, "Thanks, now we have our meals sorted."
As the yellow smoke completely rose from the bodies of the other two, they walked despondently to their companions, turning inwards on hearing this.
Damn it, not only were we wiped out by three rookies, but all our equipment was also stolen? This is definitely a dark history!
Two minutes later, the three of them tore open the self-heating pot packaging while tallying up their spoils, completely ignoring the four grim faces and fierce glares from across them.
"Six self-heating pots, ten packs of compressed biscuits, three bottles of mineral water, four magazines, ten grenades... Eh? Is this a sniper rifle?"
Ren Xiazhi suddenly got excited, "Brother, so you’re a sniper!"
The sniper himself: "..."
Is it still time to play dead? He really didn’t want to answer this question!
"Instructor, are you really a sniper? This stuff seems hard to learn. Do you have any quick tips?"
"I am now a dead body, refusing to answer any questions."
Getting wiped out by three rookies, his sniper dignity was utterly lost. Moreover, these three in front of him seemed anything but normal!
All he could say was, falling into this situation was even more embarrassing.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, Ren Xiazhi retreated to the side and started eating his self-heated pot, with Zhou Daniu already on his second.
As for Tang Shu, the female hero, she picked and chose the equipment she could use and took out a forest map to start strategizing.
"The fastest route through the forest is path A, with B and C being secondary. Each route has its own pros and cons, A has more swamps and cliffs, while B and C have fewer natural barriers but likely more instructors in ambush nearby. Do you guys have any thoughts?"
Zhou Daniu swallowed the last bite of his braised pork, casting a worried glance at Ren Xiazhi, "I think... the A route might not suit us?"
Ren Xiazhi: "..."
QAQ, please don’t target us like this.
"Indeed, it might not be suitable, but our agility clearly lags behind other students, so the C route isn’t suitable for us either."
Tang Shu held a pen, scribbling on the map, and quickly came up with a new route.
The other two leaned in to take a closer look and noted that the new route mostly overlapped with A but avoided some swamps and high-risk areas, essentially a hybrid of A and B.
"This route is good; shorter distance, and not so dangerous."
"Let’s go with this one."
While eating, the three set their route for the next few days, leaving the four playing dead beside them utterly speechless.
"Do they think we don’t exist?"
"That’s too much!"
Tang Shu looked over with one glance, "Please follow the assessment rules, don’t reveal a word you shouldn’t, got it?"
The ’dead’ group: "..."
***
In the headquarters of Cloudscape Pharma in the imperial capital, when the pre-sale figures of three days were submitted to the general manager’s office, the huge numbers boiled over the entire Cloudscape Pharma.
"How could it be so high? Is there a glitch in the system?"
The person in charge of the pharmaceutical company thought of this suspicion first; he was shocked because the pre-sales exceeded the expectations by so much.
The sales manager, whose capability to maintain composure was honed by three sleepless nights of continuous hard work, could now control his inner thoughts and facial expressions quite well. He’s now a qualified socialite—commonly known as a show-off expert.
"Yes, these are the numbers, I’ve confirmed repeatedly with the IT department."
He took out an upward trending line chart, "This is the growth of pre-sales over the past three days; as the chart shows, there is no possibility of a system loophole."
A not-yet-released Scar Removal Ointment, with a pre-sale volume reaching a staggering 70 million units in three days, was truly a miraculous event in the industry.
For a long while, the general manager finally accepted this reality, "Does that blogger have so many fans? Does our company have other pre-sales channels or have done any advertisements?"
"The data shows that 90% of these orders came from his blog. At least half of his fans purchased the Scar Removal Ointment, and a significant portion of them chose at least two bottles."
This explained why a blogger with 50 million followers could achieve a transaction volume far exceeding this number.
The pre-sales explosion before the start of sales stunned the management of Cloudscape Pharma.
"Notify the factory to speed up production! Also, communicate with the procurement department, the raw materials must keep up; we must ensure these orders are fulfilled!"
"I’ll get right on it."
All the workers at all Cloudscape Pharma’s factories were mobilized, and this hustle not only caught the attention of those in the know within the industry but also made competitors like Du Pharmaceutical take a sharp breath.
