Chapter 46 - he only user (1/2)
Translator: Lionwwang Editor: Lionwwang
There are three ways to get in touch: an e-mail address, an SNS account, and a phone number. I check it out and it is weird because I can’t find its international area code belongs to any country!
Is it an encrypted phone number?
Obviously, email contact is too slow, long-distance international calls are too troublesome, because my home phone hasn’t opened long-distance international service yet. So I immediately login the SNS, and contact that account.
This connection is very smooth. Without any waiting, the other side immediately responds.
“Hello, Mr. Chen Yang, I am the customer service staff of our company. Because of the area you are, so company entrusts me to serve you. You can choose to communicate with me in English or in your mainland language.”
This sentence has been sent two times, one time in our language and another time in English.
“Pls use our language.” My choice is clear.
“OK! I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.”
I think about it and ask the first question: “Will this ring be working when I don’t wear it?”
Then I list some of my recent experiences, briefly.
Then, almost patiently, I waited for five minutes before I got a reply — I suddenly regret that my phone at home has no international calls.
“Excuse me, my language input is slow. Our answer is as follows: theoretically, the ring doesn’t bring you good luck when you don’t wear it. That is to say, when you take off the ring, you will not be able to get the luck enhancement function of the ring. However, since you are using a trial product, there might be side effects of rings without the use of a measuring instrument. That is to say, you use rings to enhance irregular luck, affect your luck balance, and bring some… other inconveniences. We call it “side effects”. This situation is not within the control of the ring, so even if you have removed the ring, but because of the previous misuse, you will also suffer some bad results.”
I sigh helplessly, and type: “I have experienced all this. In particular, the side effects have left me a deep impression.”
“I’m sorry to have caused you some trouble.” He replies, “You can just remove the ring, so the ring will no longer affect your life.”
Remove?
That easy?
I’m sneering from deeper of my heart.
When a person really feels the magic of this ring… Who can endure this temptation?
Thinking of the good luck that the ring brings to me! And those amazing experiences!
I don’t think anyone will give up after experienced these things… So, as long as this person is not mad, his only thought must be: how can he find a way to use the ring “correctly” without causing side effects!
If such an effect can really be achieved.
God, how wonderful the life is?!
I have more and more feelings that this ring is just like a drug! When you are attracted to it, it’s really hard to give up!
“I’m not going to give up your product. I just want to find a way to use it correctly.” I sent the message.
I still have one word in mind: Unfortunately, your cheapest official product sells with the price of millions of dollars! Even if I sell my own organs, I still can’t afford your product’s price!
“Then you can only choose to buy the official products.” His reply is as expected.
After thinking about it, I tentatively ask: “I would like to ask if your company has provided some easy-to-consume parts replacement? I’m just giving you an example: I bought a computer, but after a while, the keyboard broke and I need to change the keyboard… Can a computer company ask me to spend money to buy a new computer?”
The other side responds quickly: “You mean… To buy a measuring instrument alone?”
I sit in front of the computer and laughing silently, hitting the keyboard: “Can I?”
“Sorry, but I have to say no!”
FXXX!
I am silent for a while, staring in a daze.
Do I really have to find a way to buy a formal product? Millions of dollars!
How do I get it? Robbing a bank? To sell drugs? To smuggle?
Suddenly, I think of a very interesting idea.
If, under normal circumstances, a person can have millions of dollars, he is already a very rich man. If you are a very rich person, then you should have been successful, have everything you should have. Well, in that case, you simply don’t need such a ring to change luck.
What does this ring bring to a man?
Money, power, beauties…
A man who can take out millions of dollars to buy a ring, he is already a man of success and fame, so he must already have money, power, beauty and so on.
I don’t know what psychology I am. I send this thought out.
Now, it’s his turn to be silent.
For five minutes, the other side does not send any word.
Just as I almost thought he has left me alone, a message comes.
“Thank you for your advice.”
The letters are very common, but I don’t know why, just feel the other side’s mood is very low.
Another one minute later, a new message: “Mr. Chen Yang, Are you available? May I call you now? Is your phone XX XX XXXXX?”
To be honest, I am somewhat flattered and quickly type back: “Yes!”
One minute later, my phone is ringing. I pick it up and lock the door.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Mr. Chen Yang.” The voice on the phone is clear and the language characters are standard, but the tone is somewhat stiff, “I’m Raymond. We were talking on SNS just now. ”
I say nothing but “Uh!”
The other side suddenly lowered his voice, as if sighing: “What you said just now had given me a deep impression. I think this is probably the biggest reason for the failure of this project.”
I still an “Uh” and say nothing else.
“Mr. Chen Yang, in fact, I am not the company’s customer service, I am one of the team members involved in the development of this product…”
“Oh?” I am really surprised, “You mean you joined the R&D progress of this ring?”
“Yes.” His tone is very calm.
I sincerely say: “I must say, I admire your invention very much! Amazing! ”
“Oh!” Raymond’s tone is becoming more active, and he speaks faster, “We met a lot of difficulties… Overall, the ring itself can change human’s luckiness because we stumble upon an unknown metallic substance that is so rare on Earth that we find only a small part of it in one place, and we suspect that the substance is not made on Earth, but from outer space. A meteorite or something… In short, our research has shown that this metal can produce a radiation-like effect that affects brain waves of the human body… At last, we unraveled the true face of luck.”
To be honest, I quite understand him. It’s like a lot of online content providers, after they’ve uploaded anything, immediately want to get the reader’s comments, no matter good or bad.
“But I am very surprised.” I ask, “Why’s only me contacting you? What about other users? Have you followed other customers to investigate?”
Raymond is silent on the other end of the phone, then his voice is lower, a little husky, and a little hard to speak feeling.
