Chapter 32
Bie Yanfeng is a college student. On a typical day, she buys clothes that cost only a few hundred yuan; she simply cannot afford anything more expensive.
However, seeing herself in the video wearing that twenty-thousand-yuan coat made her breathless. The coat’s cut was exquisite and incredibly slimming. The magic fitting mirror had suggested she pull her hair back entirely and paired the look with a black handbag.
"I don't even recognize myself," Bie Yanfeng stammered in the video for a long moment. "No wonder they say there’s a reason why expensive clothes cost so much."
"I look like a high-end corporate executive now. This is so cool."
Those watching the video could clearly see that she looked vastly different from just moments before; she seemed to have gained a sudden air of sophistication. It truly is the clothes that make the person—unless, of course, they were born with natural beauty. What mattered even more was that the hairstyles, trousers, shoes, and makeup the mirror chose for her were all perfectly harmonious. It could be said that as long as you picked a piece of clothing you liked, the mirror could style an entire outfit for you.
In the video, Bie Yanfeng excitedly tried on several more pieces, and by the end, her lips were trembling. "It’s over, my wallet is done for."
The comment section erupted in laughter.
[I originally thought this mirror would make online clothing stores hate the vendor, but now that I think about it, that would only apply to shops with poor quality. If the quality is good, those shops would probably be begging for people to test their clothes.]
[Expensive clothes really are different.]
[That trench coat for around two hundred looked like a great deal, though. It didn't look like two hundred at all; it looked better than some high-end boutiques. I'm going for it!]
[Blogger, please make a video showing everything it recommends for you.]
[From now on, we won't even need to go to physical stores to try on clothes. We can just try them on and buy them from home. This is amazing!]
[I run a clothing store, and I think this mirror is fantastic. If I put one in my shop, customers could save so much time.]
[Damn it, damn it, damn it! Why doesn't the vendor come to our city to set up a stall!]
[Did you buy the Weather Cloud, miss? Can you take it out and play with it?]
[Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all~]
[I came here from the video of the vendor testing it that someone else recorded. This mirror doesn't just try on clothes; the emotional value is off the charts! With this mirror, who would even need to ask their boyfriend if they look good?]
[Laughing to death. Boyfriend: "Uh? I don't get it, just buy it if you like it." The Mirror: "Oh my god! You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen; this outfit makes you look like a goddess who has descended from the heavens."]
[Hahahaha, who has a mirror? I want to buy one!]
[Are there any other product reviews? I want to see them!!!]
[Replying to the above: "Wandering Scenery" seems to have posted a video. Go watch it!]
Many people who saw this comment flooded into the homepage of "Wandering Scenery." Zhang Xingye was one of them. He was lounging at home, scrolling through videos, when he happened to come across this one. He was quite interested in the high-tech products this vendor was selling.
He clicked into the video by "Wandering Scenery." As soon as it opened, he saw a young man with a cloud floating beside him.
Yu Jingshan greeted everyone as per his usual routine, "Hello, everyone! Good evening!"
"You all have been urging me for an update, and now it's here! Today, we are testing the 'Weather Cloud.' As the name suggests, the Weather Cloud can change the weather, though it can only change the weather in the area directly beneath it~"
"Let me demonstrate it for you all now."
He went through all the basic weather types, such as rain, snow, and sunshine. Yu Jingshan even grabbed a handful of snow to show the audience. "This is real snow; it melts in your palm. I’ve even tasted it, and it tastes just like regular snow."
"Furthermore, testing has confirmed that there are no harmful substances in the snow or rain. This means that for our friends in the south who want to play in the snow, you can use the Weather Cloud and play to your heart's content!"
"Alright, next we are going to test hail. As we all know, hail is a natural disaster. So, can the Weather Cloud simulate that?"
On camera, he placed the Weather Cloud about a meter above his head. "According to my tests, this Weather Cloud can only hover up to a meter away from a person. If it gets any further, the user loses control of it."
As he spoke, the Weather Cloud in the video began to hail. Distinct, individual hailstones clattered onto the floor, making a loud *thumping* sound. The hailstones were visibly large—almost the size of tangyuan dumplings.
Yu Jingshan frowned slightly. "It is clear that the Weather Cloud can simulate hazardous weather."
"This leads me to wonder about some dangerous possibilities. For instance, if someone were to intentionally use the Weather Cloud to harm others, could they do it? And if they could, should the Weather Cloud be regulated?"
His take was quite fair, as the world could indeed become a dangerous place if the cloud were used to inflict harm—things like high temperatures, hail, tornadoes, acid rain, smog, and lightning could all be used to hurt people.
"Alright! Let's begin the test," Yu Jingshan said, and a person wearing sunglasses and a protective suit stepped into the frame. This was his good friend, Zhang Feiyue, whom he had called over. He was also the "big victim" of this test—the same wealthy second-generation heir he had called last time. He had sent his assistant to buy the new product, and it had arrived that evening. He was participating in the test out of curiosity and boredom.
"First, hail," Yu Jingshan announced.
Watching the man stand under the cloud, Zhang Xingye couldn't help but feel anxious for him. Being pelted by such large hailstones would be painful, even with a protective suit. However, he waited for a long time and saw no hail falling. Just as he thought the video had frozen, Yu Jingshan spoke up.
"According to our tests, if someone is standing underneath it, I cannot trigger hazardous weather."
He demonstrated: Zhang Feiyue stepped out from under the cloud, and the hail began to fall. As soon as he stepped back under, the hail stopped.
"I am not controlling this," Yu Jingshan continued. "The cloud is stopping on its own. I suspect that the Weather Cloud, much like the Bamboo Dragonfly, likely possesses a degree of intelligent consciousness."
Zhang Xingye remembered the Bamboo Dragonfly; he had heard of someone trying to use it to commit robbery, only for the device to restrain the culprit and deliver him to the police station. Thinking about it, these high-tech products were incredibly smart—they could actually distinguish right from wrong.
In the video, Yu Jingshan tested other types of hazardous weather. When a tornado began to form under the cloud, it stopped the moment Zhang Feiyue stepped in. The same happened with all other weather events.
"Next, let's test whether the Weather Cloud can be used to harm crops or plants. Let's use this potted plant for the experiment!" A plant suddenly appeared in the video as Yu Jingshan stood to the side.
Zhang Xingye watched as the Weather Cloud remained motionless, but as soon as Yu Jingshan moved the plant away, the hail began again.
After continuous testing, Yu Jingshan concluded, "Currently, it seems the Weather Cloud has its own intelligent system. If you try to use it to harm others or commit immoral acts, it simply will not obey."
"So, what if an agricultural expert wants to use the Weather Cloud for research?" Yu Jingshan asked. "The Weather Cloud is excellent at controlling sunlight, humidity, and rainfall. If you are looking to cultivate plants, it could be a great helper."
Hearing this, Zhang Xingye suddenly realized the Weather Cloud had many practical uses.
But then Yu Jingshan added, "Actually, the uses for the Weather Cloud go far beyond that. For example, what if you're taking a bath and it's too cold because you don't have a heater?"
"Weather Cloud!" He pointed both fingers at it, and the cloud immediately cleared the air.
"What if your room is too damp and your clothes won't dry?"
"Weather Cloud!"
"What if children in the south have never seen snow?"
"Weather Cloud!" The cloud began to fall with soft, fluttering snow, looking truly beautiful.
"What if there is a drought?"
"Weather Cloud!"
Yu Jingshan smiled. "I even think the Weather Cloud would be great for photography, videography, and filmmaking. If you need a snowy scene, it can give you real snow. It can do rain, thunder, lightning, and even wind—you wouldn't need blowers, snow machines, or rain rigs anymore."
"Finally, I believe you are all as curious as I am: can we climb onto the Weather Cloud and fly?"
Yu Jingshan squeezed the soft cloud and pressed his hand into it. "Unfortunately, as you can see, the Weather Cloud is very soft, like cotton candy. It cannot support our weight."
"Alright, that concludes this test of the Weather Cloud! Finally, I want to say a few words. While I was waiting in line to purchase these, the vendor asked me to help with an advertisement."
He smiled. "Besides stocking new products, she has also brought back the Bamboo Dragonfly and the Magic Glasses that were sold previously."
"The vendor said she wants to sell the Magic Glasses to those who truly need them. If you are interested, you can head to Jiangchao City to purchase them!"
He bowed to the camera. "I hope our future becomes brighter and brighter, and I hope these high-tech products lead us toward a truly happy life!"
"That's it for this video. The next video will cover the Elf Pet Ball, so be sure to follow so you don't miss it~"
After watching, Zhang Xingye silently clicked follow. He had to admit, this test by "Wandering Scenery" was quite comprehensive.
