I, the Guide to the Omniverse, Usher in Blue Star's Great Ascension! - chapter 27

Chapter 27

Because the tourists bought Stinky Fruit from the online store.

Tian Youyue was the first to send out the news.

She posted a message in the WeChat group.

[Tian Youyue]: Damn, this is unbelievable! I bought two Stinky Fruits this morning, and they were delivered straight to my doorstep. They didn’t even bother to go through the courier station to cover it up!

Sheng Ai was also shocked when she saw the message: That impressive?

[Tian Youyue]: Yeah, I thought I’d have to wait a few days, but as soon as I placed the order, I got a notification saying it would be delivered soon and to wait at home. Ten minutes later, a basket of Stinky Fruit appeared at my door. They were so fresh, you could tell they’d just been picked from the tree.

[Zhou Zhihui]: Huh? I haven’t bought any yet, let me try!

[Zeng Xu]: Damn, it’s true. I got mine in ten minutes too. It really feels like the Toad Spirit is picking the fruit right then and there…

[Yang Zhiyu]: Well, that’s it. With this delivery speed, it’s guaranteed to blow up on the Hot Search.

[Zhou Zhihui]: This is insane, someone replied to the video Brother Hang posted! He also bought Stinky Fruit to see if it was just a marketing gimmick, but it was delivered in ten minutes and scared him silly.

Sheng Ai immediately went to watch Tang Yuanhang’s video.

Under Tang Yuanhang’s video, the comments were all jokes and skepticism.

No one believed it.

But one of the latest comments gradually got pushed to the top.

It was from a user named ‘656 Citizen’: [Brothers, this video is really bizarre! I went to this store to buy the so-called Stinky Fruit, just to see what this marketing fruit tasted like. I live in the farthest city in the country, you know, the kind that doesn’t even offer free shipping. But as soon as I bought it, I got a text telling me to open my door in ten minutes. When I did, there was a box of Stinky Fruit, just like durian, sitting at my doorstep.

I live on the twenty-seventh floor! Even with an elevator, where did this Stinky Fruit come from?

There’s no surveillance at my door, and I just checked the building’s cameras-no one was seen bringing anything in. I’m losing my mind, guys!!

And the sender’s address is weird too. It says Journey to the West World – sent from Xiaomi Mountain, delivered by Omniverse Corporation. I thought all sellers had to use real, verifiable addresses now!!]

Along with this comment, he posted several pictures of the Stinky Fruit.

They were just like Tian Youyue’s, packed in a basket with no packaging, only a piece of paper on the outside of the basket.

On it was the Xiaomi Mountain address for Stinky Fruit delivery.

Very perfunctory.

But it also proved just how awesome Omniverse Corporation’s delivery was-guaranteed freshly picked and delivered first.

Fresher than chasing after a cow to eat!

Under this shocked comment, a flood of replies appeared instantly.

-Bro, stop joking, this is creepy. Are you a shill hired by the blogger?

-Hahahahaha, this is obviously a scam. If you brag like this and we buy one but it doesn’t get delivered, you’re done for!

-I know it’s marketing, but you got me. I have to buy one!

-Who even remembers this was a travel video?

-…Bro, you’re not kidding, right? I just bought a few Stinky Fruits. I live in the countryside, and they really arrived in ten minutes… damn!!

With these comments, Sheng Ai could clearly see:

Orders at the Xiaomi Mountain online store were obviously increasing.

There were also a few more comments.

[Is this online store run by a ghost? What the hell is ten-minute delivery!!!]

[Scared me to death, is this really an Otherworld online store? How do you deliver in ten minutes!]

[Damn, I even filled in the wrong address, so how did you still deliver it to my house? My heart can’t take this!]
…

Sheng Ai was also deeply moved. “Amazing! Nationwide delivery in ten minutes-this is definitely going to hit the Hot Search, right? Is our Travel Agency about to go viral?”

System: [Of course. After all, it’s the Omniverse Corporation. If it took days for delivery, what would that look like?]

Sheng Ai casually placed an order for two jin as well. Ever since she opened the online store, she could see the number of orders and the turnover, but she had no control over the funds.

Because the money belonged to the Toad Spirits.

Sheng Ai asked, “So how will the Toad Spirits contact me when they need to use the money?”

System: [The Omniverse Corporation will inform me. You’ll receive the request, and when they need something, you just buy it and leave it at home. It will be taken away.]

Sheng Ai nodded.

Meanwhile, back at home, He Zhou thought about what Tian Youyue and the others had said. After some consideration, she called He Weiguang, her tone a bit awkward: “Dad, if you really don’t believe me, just buy a portion of Stinky Fruit from the online store at your police station. See if it gets delivered in ten minutes. Then you’ll know whether what we’re saying is true or not.”

He Weiguang was quite puzzled.

He didn’t know about the Stinky Fruit Online Store yet, but he did know that Stinky Fruit was a local specialty of the Toad Spirits, as seen in the video.

And it could be delivered in ten minutes?

He wasn’t entirely skeptical. If it was fruit from Hu City, a ten-minute delivery wouldn’t be that strange.

He Weiguang turned to Xiao Qin. “My daughter said that Stinky Fruit now has an online store. Search for it and take a look.”

Xiao Qin immediately opened his computer and searched for information on Stinky Fruit.

Sure enough, it popped up quickly.

Because the pictures posted were similar to those in the video, Xiao Qin glanced through them. “Hey, the seller really is Xiaomi Mountain. But these reviews…”

After reading, Xiao Qin was shocked. “Is this for real? All the reviews say that no matter where you buy Stinky Fruit, it gets delivered in ten minutes. That’s insane! Do they have branches in every city?”

“Ten-minute delivery no matter where you are? Impossible. What delivery company is that good these days-are they using rocket shipping?” He Weiguang frowned. “Order one and see.”

Xiao Qin placed an order using his own account, muttering, “Captain He, you better reimburse me.”

He Weiguang: “…”

As Xiao Qin was filling in the address, his eyes suddenly lit up. “If they can deliver anywhere, what about the police station’s break room?”

That was strictly their own turf-no one else could enter.

He Weiguang was speechless. “Be serious.”

Xiao Qin replied, “How am I not being serious? The reviews say nationwide ten-minute delivery. It’s not like I made it up.”

Xiao Qin filled in the address.

The next second, he received a text message on his phone.

[Your package will be delivered in ten minutes. Please receive it at the designated location.]

Xiao Qin immediately dashed to the break room. “I want to see just how impressive this delivery company is.”

Seeing Xiao Qin head to the break room, He Weiguang didn’t follow.

There had been plenty of frustrating things today, and the tourists’ situation was still unresolved. He didn’t even know how he ended up buying Stinky Fruit himself.

Sitting at his desk, ten minutes later, he suddenly heard a colleague nearby.

“Hey, Xiao Qin, you bought fruit?”

He Weiguang looked up and saw Xiao Qin holding a basket of Stinky Fruit.

His expression was both terrified and shocked, and he stammered in confusion.

“Captain He, I… I was in there the whole time. Suddenly, I heard the door close. I… I turned around for a second… and when I looked back, this-this basket was just sitting on the desk…”
