ATPnovel Chapter 81 New Product Launch
Chapter 81 New Product Launch
After Wang Xiao announced the start of the press conference, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and then several beams of light focused on the podium on the stage.
Wei Yan, dressed in formal attire, walked confidently to the spot under the light.
Good afternoon, everyone!
"I am Wei Yan, the acting manager of Peace Hotel. First of all, please allow me, on behalf of Peace Hotel, to warmly welcome everyone to our hotel's new product launch event."
As he spoke, Wei Yan took the lead in clapping, and the audience immediately followed suit with a burst of enthusiastic applause.
"I know that the most discussed topic about this new product launch is the 'Ability User.' To be honest, I also want to become a powerful 'Ability User' and contribute more to the hotel."
Unfortunately, our upcoming new product won't be able to instantly transform everyone here into a superhuman.
Upon hearing that it was impossible to directly become a power user, many people's interest instantly vanished.
"What the hell... I thought it was something that could turn ordinary people into ability users, but I made a wasted trip."
"Oh, I thought there was something good in there too. Let's go, let's go!"
"A waste of time."
……
As everyone prepared to leave, Qin Huai'an, sitting in the front row, remained unmoved.
In his opinion, Wang Xiao was not the kind of person who would do such a pointless thing.
This product must have something special about it, otherwise it wouldn't be worth Wang Xiao spending so much effort to erode the Peace Hotel's existing reputation.
Seeing the dissatisfaction on everyone's faces, Wei Yan deliberately slowed down a few beats, and only continued when everyone was about to give up:
"Everyone, if I were you, I would stop and listen patiently to what I am about to say."
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at Wei Yan on the podium.
Wei Yan smiled and said, "The product we are launching may not be able to make you all become ability users directly, but it can greatly increase your chances of becoming ability users in the future. Not only that, it may also save your lives in critical moments such as when you encounter crises."
In addition, our product is not only effective for ordinary people, but also greatly enhances the abilities of those with special abilities, and the effects will be even better for them.
Immediately, everyone rushed back to their seats.
Even those ability users who were about to leave sat up one by one after hearing Wei Yan's last sentence, their eyes revealing a strange light.
After becoming ability users, most of them were lost because they couldn't find a way to quickly improve their strength. But now, the hotel tells them that there is something that can help them improve their strength.
How could this news not attract their attention?
Qin Huai'an, who was sitting at the very front, had a smile on his face.
He knew it wasn't that simple.
Immediately, urging voices came from the audience.
"Manager Wei, stop dawdling and bring it up quickly so we can take a look!"
"That's right, that's right, Manager Wei, just tell me how many points you want!"
……
Hearing the cheers and shouts from the audience, Wei Yan, no longer intimidated, still smiled and said:
"I apologize, but because the product at this new product launch is quite special, we need to invite its developer, Lu Ran, our Peace Hotel's head chef, to the stage to explain its detailed effects. Please give him a warm welcome."
"Huh? Did I hear that right? The chef?"
"I must be hallucinating, Manager Wei. Are you sure you're not mistaken? This was made by a chef?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Wei Yan said with certainty, "Yes."
"Chef Lu, please come up to the stage."
When Wei Yan called his name, Lu Ran looked at Wang Xiao, who nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead. As an employee of our Peace Hotel, don't embarrass us at this time. Like I said, if anything goes wrong, I'll cover for you. What are you afraid of?"
After hearing Wang Xiao's words, Lu Ran's tension eased considerably.
Lu Ran took a deep breath, then walked to the podium like a soldier about to go to the battlefield and took the microphone from Wei Yan.
Lu Ran glanced at everyone and then said, "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Ran, I am the head chef of the Peace Hotel, and also the person in charge of our hotel's new product development. The new product we are going to launch next is a drink called 'Night Abyss Dream'."
Lu Ran turned around and picked up a glass of light purple liquid from the table behind him.
Under the light, the pale purple liquid in the glass still emitted a faint glow.
"It really is a beverage?"
"It's a drink? Who would have thought..."
Hearing the murmurs from the audience, Lu Ran said, "I know you all have many questions, but before I begin, please let me explain the special features of this drink."
The main ingredient of our drink is a special flower called "Night Abyss Rose," which comes from plants in the abyss, and is carefully blended with several other plants that have the same effects.
Prior to today's new product launch, we had already conducted multiple rounds of testing.
As long as we mix it in the right proportions and keep the dosage within a safe range, this special abyssal plant will not only not cause any harm, but will also enhance the drinker's attention and reaction speed for a certain period of time.
Lu Ran's words immediately sparked a considerable discussion among the audience.
"Improved reaction speed? Is this for real?"
"That can't be right."
"Could it be some kind of illegal drug?"
……
When the product was announced, some people questioned its effectiveness.
Qin Huai'an's gaze lingered on the pale purple liquid for a few seconds before turning back to look at Wang Xiao, who was standing at the back of the banquet hall, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Lu Ran gestured for everyone to be quiet and continued, "Of course, words are not enough, so our hotel has prepared an on-site testing session."
To ensure fairness, we have prepared two drinks for everyone present. Now, would two volunteers like to come up and try them?
Upon hearing that the raw materials came from plants from the abyss, no one dared to try it easily, and the whole situation fell into silence for a moment.
Just as Qin Huai'an was about to get up, a figure suddenly stood up.
"I'll do it."
It's Xiao Minghai.
He strode onto the display stand, his gaze calmly fixed on the liquid in Lu Ran's hand.
Xiao Minghai asked, "What do I need to do?"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just drink this beverage and tell others how you truly feel."
Xiao Minghai asked doubtfully, "Is it really that simple? No tests or anything like that are needed?"
Lu Ran nodded and said, "Yes, absolutely not."
Xiao Minghai took the cup and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.
Upon tasting the pale purple liquid, Xiao Minghai's brows furrowed briefly before quickly relaxing.
Xiao Minghai commented truthfully, "It's a bit bitter, but there's a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste, and um, there's also an indescribable floral fragrance."
Lu Ran smiled and said, "This is the unique fragrance of Night Abyss Rose."
About a minute later, Xiao Minghai's aura suddenly changed. His previously calm eyes became incredibly bright, and he unconsciously straightened his chest.
It was as if he had suddenly become a different person; his energy and spirit were completely different from before.
At this moment, everyone finally understood why they didn't need to take a test.
This kind of almost transformative change cannot be achieved through pretense or acting skills.
Lu Ran asked, "How are you feeling?"
Xiao Minghai flexed his fingers, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "I feel... my thinking is much clearer than usual, and the sounds and light around me have become more acute. It's such a strange feeling, I feel like I can grasp something..."
That peculiar feeling made Xiao Minghai feel more comfortable than ever before, and he almost subconsciously asked, "Is there more?"
Seeing this, Lu Ran could only politely refuse, saying, "I'm sorry, this cup is for another volunteer."
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing that he couldn't drink both cups, Xiao Minghai's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and he then walked off the stage.
After Xiao Minghai stepped down, he was immediately bombarded with questions. To these questions, Xiao Minghai only gave one sentence.
"Try it for yourself, and you'll understand everything."
With Xiao Minghai's initiative, "Night Abyss Dream" instantly sparked various discussions among the crowd.
Seeing this, Lu Ran continued, "There's still one spot left. Anyone willing to try?"
Now, people were no longer afraid and eagerly raised their hands, wanting to go on stage and try.
"I'll do it!"
"Let me try! I raised my hand first!"
"Get lost! You were even slower to raise your hand than I was. By the time you guys were raising your hands, I'd already raised my second hand!"
Looking at the crowd whose emotions had been ignited, Lu Ran glanced around and then looked at a woman in a leather jacket sitting in the second row.
Lu Ran politely inquired, "This beautiful lady, would you be willing to come up on stage and give it a try?"
The woman in the leather jacket who was called upon slowly stood up and smiled, "Of course."
As the woman in the leather jacket slowly walked onto the stage, the crowd began to murmur again.
"If I remember correctly, that woman is an ability user, right?"
"Even people with special abilities are curious?"
"Damn it, why wasn't I the first one to go up in the first round?!"
With both spots filled, some began to regret not seizing the opportunity in the first round, while others looked forward to the women's performance on stage, and still others were quietly calculating their own points.
Being a person with superpowers is a goal that ordinary people aspire to, and anything related to people with superpowers will always attract people's attention at this time.
What they didn't know was that Wang Xiao had prepared another "surprise" for them at this new product launch.
