    I stumbled upon a really good book in the "New Books" section! 😂 "Xuanqiong Jie" initially seems like a cultivation novel, but after clicking in, I discovered it's about a scientist who falls into a technologically advanced cultivation world that's waiting for him for 500 years. While others are busy leveling up after transmigrating, Su Mingyuan is busy investigating "why the whole world knows me," and in the process, he even discovers his future self from 500 years in the future! 🤣 Even more absurdly, his future self is desperately trying to stop him from continuing his investigation… My current feeling about this book is that the protagonist's biggest enemy might actually be his future self who has finally figured things out. If you like time-traveling mysteries, technological cultivation, and slowly uncovering the truth, you can start reading it; it's really addictive later on.

    Reader note

    Folks and friends, don't miss out! The Chixi Village Consumer Psychology series is back with a new episode! This time it's not one, it's a five-episode series, each one guaranteed to make you laugh until your abs hurt, then suddenly stop and stare at the ceiling for three seconds in deep thought—because the person I'm talking about might be you. Episode 1, "Virtual Shopping Therapy." Uncle Jiang didn't spend a single penny in seven days, yet his complexion was even rosier than when he snagged dog food on Singles' Day. What's the secret? He spends two hours a day browsing e-commerce platforms, adding items to his cart, looking at product details, and scrolling through buyer reviews, and then—closing the app. He invented a sport even more enjoyable than shopping: browsing without buying. Lin Shen goes even further, adding thirty-seven items to his cart every day and deleting them all. He says it feels like "eating a meal but not gaining weight." Fu Shuiheng calls this "virtual shopping therapy"—letting desires naturally complete their life cycle through browsing, without spending a penny, while dopamine is still secreted normally. The most outrageous case in this episode comes from Aunt Zhen—she doesn't even browse her phone; she browses the area in front of Uncle Jiang's convenience store. She said watching real people buy real products, hand over real money, and show real smiles is more satisfying than grabbing the "three, two, one, link up" button in any live stream. Seeing this, I suddenly realized that perhaps the best shopping therapy isn't not buying, but going to the market and watching others buy. Episode 2, "Price Anchor Removal Team." Fang Kele almost got into a fight with the manager at the supermarket over a can of peanut oil. The price tag said "Original price 199, now 139," but turning the corner, she found the same oil was normally 139. That 199 never existed; its only function was to make you think 139 was a good deal. After hearing this, Fu Shuiheng hung a new sign at Jiang Bo's convenience store—"Price Anchor Removal Team, No Charge for Nail Removal." Qiu Aizi disassembled the "German Technology" impact drill and discovered that Germany was missing; not a single screw had anything to do with Germany. Sister Zhen didn't dare calculate how much she spent on the "Palace Secret Recipe" shampoo, afraid she'd want to shave her head afterward. Finally, Uncle Jiang tore down all the "original price" tags in the store and wrote a line on the blackboard: "All items in this store have only one price. We don't ask about the original price, we only ask if you need it." When I saw this line, I suddenly wanted to applaud Uncle Jiang. Episode 3, "Consumer Identity Crisis." On Qiu Aizi's fiftieth birthday, he bought a fishing rod set for 3,800 yuan, 6.3 meters long, carbon fiber rod, Fuji guides. The problem is, he had never even squatted by a pond in his life, and the biggest fish in Chixi Village was only the length of a finger. Standing next to the delivery box, he puffed out his 1.58-meter chest and said something earth-shattering: "Now I'm a fisherman." Then Aunt Zhen bought an espresso machine for 2,800 yuan. Nobody in Chixi Village drinks coffee, but she solemnly announced that from now on she would "start her day with an espresso." Fu Shuiheng calls this a "consumer identity crisis"—you buy a fishing rod and think you're a fisherman, you buy a coffee machine and think you're a coffee drinker, you buy "Learn Python from Zero" and think you're a programmer (Jiang Bo's book is still unopened). The gentlest twist in this episode comes from Aunt Zhen—she's sitting at the corner store with her coffee, and Jiang Bo says, "Your dark stuff tastes better than tofu pudding," so she returns the coffee machine. The real you is always more comfortable than the version you buy. Episode 4, "Unconditional Return Anxiety." Have you ever had this experience? You add something to your shopping cart for months, open it every day, scroll through it from beginning to end, but never pay. Lin Shen had a windbreaker that lay in his shopping cart for seven days. During those seven days, he memorized the waterproof and breathability ratings, went through all the buyer reviews, repeatedly confirmed the seven time points of the return policy with customer service, and even calculated a math problem about "whether it's morally reprehensible to return it after five days of using it for free." In the end, he deleted it. He said it wasn't that the clothes were bad, but the "return anytime" option made it impossible for him to make a purchase. Fang Kele discovered a startling pattern: before, returns were difficult, but purchases were more readily made—because people mentally assumed they wouldn't return them. Now, with zero cost to return items, people are hesitant to buy. Fu Shuiheng aptly put it: "The cost of returns hasn't disappeared; it's just moved from your wallet to your mental account. Before, it was about the financial burden; now it's about the mental strain." After watching this episode, you might silently open your shopping cart and finally put away those items that have been lying dormant for months. Episode 5, "Anti-Consumer Epiphany." The most impactful episode in the entire series, it begins with a question—"Why is toothpaste mint-flavored?" On an ordinary Wednesday morning, Fu Shuiheng picked up a tube of toothpaste and checked the ingredient list, finding it contained calcium carbonate, sorbitol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and artificial flavoring. Not a single mint leaf. You've been using mint toothpaste for decades, and it never actually contains mint. That cool sensation is simulated by the flavoring; it doesn't clean, it only makes you "feel clean." Then Fu Shuiheng conducted an experiment: he disassembled all nine types of toothpaste in Uncle Jiang's shop, ranging from 3.5 yuan to 48 yuan. The first five had identical ingredients. The truly different ingredients were listed after the seventh ingredient, with a content of less than one percent. The extra tens of yuan you spent were for promises of "whitening," "anti-sensitivity," and "gum protection"—the corresponding ingredients for these promises totaled less than one percent of the entire tube of toothpaste. That very night, Uncle Jiang removed the most expensive toothpaste from the shelf and replaced it with the 3.5 yuan one, adding a note: "As long as it cleans well." After watching this episode, I looked through the ingredient lists of all my shampoos, shower gels, and face washes. Now I understand why Aunt Zhen said, "I dare not calculate it in detail, for fear that I will want to shave my head after calculating." Five stories, five epiphanies. Browsing without buying cures anxiety, exposing anchor points saves real money, shedding preconceived notions brings freedom, giving up returns brings determination, and looking at the ingredients reveals the truth. The people of Chixi Village used the most down-to-earth methods to expose the most sophisticated schemes, and the most persistent questioning to shake the most sophisticated business algorithms. These five stories are now simultaneously available on the following platforms: Tomato Music, Tomato Novels, Toutiao Lite, Toutiao, Wukong Browser, Danhua, and Changdu Novels. Friends who enjoy absurd, humorous, and witty stories, hurry up and search for them to read first. When searching, please note that only user 26182811 is our own author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng. Make sure you're on the right platform. If you feel unsatisfied after reading, and these five stories resonate with your shopping cart, your ingredient list, your fishing rod, your windbreaker, or even that peanut oil labeled "original price" but never actually sold at original price—then let's give our own author, Mr. Fu Shuiheng, a boost in his creative output! Let the old gentleman know that there are still people waiting to hear stories on the ridges of the fields in Chixi Village, people queuing up at the market in Pengkou Town for anchor removal, and countless dusty, unsold goods in Uncle Jiang's shop waiting to be written into the starting point for the next epiphany. Let the old gentleman continue to create more down-to-earth works with a strong rural flavor, so that we, in our daily lives of firewood, can occasionally stop, look at the ingredient list, and think about whether we really need that 3,800 yuan fishing rod. Finally, a sincere thank you to everyone for your time. Every minute you spend reading is the best companionship for the land of Chixi Village, for Mr. Fu Shuiheng's hands, covered with age spots yet still writing tirelessly in his notebook, and for all ordinary people striving to remain clear-headed in the torrent of consumerism.
