Chapter 821: Chapter 335: Eventually, Everything Comes to an End

The Extreme Shadow Phone inexplicably became a hit in a very niche circle.

Mainly among children and middle-aged and elderly people who have just started using the internet.

The main advantage of the Extreme Shadow Phone is its extremely smooth system. After all, there are only about a hundred or so usable apps, along with some basic functions that come with the system; it’s hard to make it lag even if you wanted to.

Most people actually don’t care about this advantage. What they care about is that the Extreme Shadow Phone doesn’t have those ads you can download with a casual click or those annoying mini-apps you accidentally tap into.

Some of the ads even ask you if the promotions are satisfactory or if they disturb your life.

Damn!

Now even scams are done openly!

Anyone with kids at home knows that if it’s an Android phone, after a child plays with it for a while, you’re likely to end up with a hundred extra apps mysteriously demanding all sorts of permissions.

Even with an iPhone, to circumvent download permissions, ads are intentionally redirected to mini-programs.

The Extreme Shadow Phone is very refreshing; all the programs are customized versions with no advertisements whatsoever.

After all, the Extreme Shadow Group has been spending money every year.

Unlike other phones that come with pre-installed apps for which you have to negotiate fees, fees that aren’t low.

Some middle-aged and elderly people who are just starting to use the internet, having poor learning abilities, have caused quite some worry for their children.

Sometimes when you go home, you’ll find a bunch of unknown health supplements and small toys.

But they really can’t do anything about it; you can’t just stop the elderly from using phones, right?

If they don’t use phones, there are plenty offline traps as well.

Besides, they don’t have the right.

It wasn’t until the shipments of Extreme Shadow Phones increased that they realized this phone was simply perfect.

There’s no fraud, no money-making ads, and even all the platform versions have been screened, making it very difficult to get scammed internally within the software.

Extreme Shadow Car owners, while not necessarily super rich, are at least middle-class families, often with hundreds of thousands in savings, and the elderly live comfortably with money in hand.

This group is the best target for scams; nearly every family with elderly has been scammed online, some more than others.

But amid the surprise, they also had to face a problem.

The Extreme Shadow Phone is not for sale!

You get one as a gift when you buy a car!

Originally, many people sold Extreme Shadow Phones in the second-hand market, some priced at three thousand, some four thousand, very few prices exceeded five thousand.

For the young who have discerning abilities, the Extreme Shadow Phone’s playability was rather insignificant.

But recently, the price of second-hand Extreme Shadow Phones on platforms did not go below fifteen thousand.

Then major bloggers started doing reviews, bringing this unique product into the spotlight.

"How can this be? For other phones to get online, they practically dig up your ancestry, but the Extreme Shadow Phone is so audacious that it deserves not to be popular!"

"Although I’m immune to all kinds of ads every day, seeing all that messy stuff really is annoying! I bought a flagship phone for a few grand, and it’s as though I bought an ad platform, with ads playing all the time."

"Those short-video platforms too, wanting to see anything decent is impossible, either it’s soft ads or hard ads, and all the brainless comments make me start questioning life. Damn, has the world really come to this?"

"But it’s a pity that the functions of the Extreme Shadow Phone are indeed a bit limited, and it also doesn’t support browsing small websites..."

"Bro, cool it, don’t get yourself into trouble, give me the address, I’ll report it..."

...

"Let me tell you something, my little niece in the countryside, she’s been taking online classes lately, and with no money at home... Extreme Shadow Group directly sent her a tablet, similar to the Extreme Shadow Phone..."

"Did they really gift it?"

"Bro, you really don’t understand Li Yang and Jiang Banxia. If everyone needs something, they don’t care about that bit of money. As far as I know, Jiang Banxia has always been donating back home, and elderly over seventy in Jiang City can get around three thousand a year. But they don’t like to show off these small matters. Also, there’s a bizarre rule in Jiang City: no throwing trash carelessly. If no video captures you littering within a year, your family gets a civility bonus of five hundred per person, even counting newborns..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"Isn’t that ridiculously overboard?"

"There’s more to it. The counties near Jiang City, which were previously major population-exporting counties with hundreds of thousands leaving for work, now see few leaving to work. Green Water Group has formed an industrial chain there, directly employing tens of thousands, with related chains providing employment for hundreds of thousands, earning in every way possible."

"It really stings, buddy, I’m a 211 university graduate, and finding a job that pays five thousand in our city is impossible. The city sounds glamorous with housing prices seven to eight thousand, but industrial hollowing is severe, sustained only by a sense of hometown pride; otherwise, it couldn’t sustain even three thousand a square meter."

"I’ve been keeping an eye on Jiang City. Although it’s a small county, Jiang Banxia moved Wanliu Capital there, and the industrial group brought by Green Water Group is very strong, so there’s really opportunity for development."

"Is the cost of living not high there?"

"There’s no chance for it to be high. The cost of living is tied to food, and Jiang City has a lot of farming and aquaculture... Let me put it this way, two-tenths of a kilo of hairy crabs in Jiang City costs just five yuan each; usually, you can’t eat them in a store for less than thirty, right? The crayfish there, cooked, is only twenty-something yuan a kilo, outside you can’t find it for less than forty a kilo?"
