This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 183: Chapter 130: Bought Luosifen Expired for 1 Year

If it were really sent from Liuzhou, it likely wouldn’t arrive until the day after tomorrow.

But since it was sent from Suzhou, it could arrive today.

He checked and saw it was being delivered by Shuntong Express.

That meant Xiaoliu would probably be the one delivering it.

’It’ll arrive this afternoon at the earliest. I’ll go buy a coffee table first.’

Chen Mo grabbed his car keys and went out.

He had looked at coffee tables online yesterday and found one that was similar to his old one.

After all, it was better to keep a consistent decorating style.

Otherwise, a single, out-of-place coffee table would be too jarring and ruin the overall aesthetic.

He drove to the store, which specialized in high-end custom furniture.

"Sir, what are you looking for?"

As soon as he entered the store, a staff member immediately came up to greet him.

"I’m looking for a coffee table."

Chen Mo stated his purpose.

"Right this way. What style are you looking for? Would you like to see our sofas and accent walls as well? They usually come in matching sets," the staff member asked.

"This style here."

Chen Mo showed them a photo of his previously smashed coffee table.

"Oh? This coffee table is one of our store’s custom designs."

The staff member recognized it as one of their products at a glance.

"You custom-make them here?"

Surprise flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes. ’Did I just find the original maker?’

"That’s right. If you want this model, we can custom-make an identical one for you," the staff member said with a confident nod.

"Alright, make me a custom one."

Chen Mo agreed immediately.

’An identical one would be perfect.’

After confirming the style of the coffee table, Chen Mo paid the deposit.

They promised to deliver it within three days.

After exchanging contact information, Chen Mo went home.

Time passed quickly, and that afternoon, he received a call from Xiaoliu.

"Hello? Mr. Chen, your package has arrived. Do you need me to bring it up?"

"Bring it up, I’m home."

Chen Mo told him to bring it up without a second thought.

Normally, for such a small item, he would have just told him to leave it at the package locker.

But this package of snail noodles was the problematic one; he needed to record video evidence.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

About half an hour later, Xiaoliu knocked on his door.

Hearing the knock, Chen Mo picked up the sports camera he had already prepared on the table and started recording.

CLICK.

Chen Mo aimed the camera lens forward and opened the door.

"Mr. Chen, your package."

Xiaoliu handed the package to Chen Mo, but tensed up when he saw he was being filmed with a sports camera.

He practically had PTSD from Chen Mo’s sports camera.

"Thanks."

Chen Mo aimed the camera at the package and smiled at Xiaoliu.

Xiaoliu waved his hand, then turned and left.

Watching him go, Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. ’Am I really that scary?’

THUD.

He closed the door and prepared to unbox the package.

But he had some prep work to do before unboxing. Since he knew there was something wrong with this package of snail noodles, he had to be thorough.

"I bought a pack of Luo Yin Society snail noodles from Brother Da Niu’s livestream last night. The delivery guy just dropped it off, and now I’m getting ready to unbox it."

"I’ll be able to cook the snail noodles for dinner tonight. It’s been a while; I’ve actually been craving them."

Chen Mo narrated to himself, just as if he were filming a food unboxing vlog.

He used scissors to slice through the tape on the cardboard box and pulled out a large bag containing five individual packs of snail noodles.

Once he had the whole bag out, Chen Mo began to carefully inspect the information on the packaging.

He made sure to film whatever he was looking at with the sports camera.

"Huh? What’s with this production date?"

Chen Mo muttered to himself instinctively upon seeing the production date.

He blinked and looked again.

He found that the production date was June 25, 2024.

The listed shelf life was six months.

That meant the expiration date should have been December 25, 2024.

But today was almost a full year past that expiration date.

In other words, the snail noodles he had ordered from Brother Da Niu’s livestream had been sent to him nearly a year after they expired!

That morning, he had been idly wondering if it might be poisoned.

Now, seeing the production date, he realized it was nearly a year out of date.

What was the difference between that and it being poisoned?

He knew many people didn’t bother to check expiration dates when they bought things.

If he hadn’t checked and just ate it, this package of snail noodles could have easily taken half his life!

’No wonder my bad luck triggered a ’ding’. If this doesn’t count as bad luck, what does?’

"Production date: June 25, 2024. Shelf life: six months."

"In other words, the snail noodles I bought expired almost a year ago? Are they trying to kill me? And I bought this from Brother Da Niu’s livestream..."

Chen Mo’s tone suddenly became furious as he described the situation with the snail noodles.

The anger in his voice wasn’t an act; he was genuinely furious.

A streamer this big—when he was watching last night, there were over 100,000 viewers.

And yet he was selling food that was nearly a year past its expiration date. This was a complete disregard for the lives of his fans and customers!

This was even more dangerous than counterfeit goods.

Counterfeits might not affect a person’s health.

But something expired for almost a year? That was meant to send someone to the grave.

He placed the snail noodles and the sports camera on the table together, making sure the unopened package never left the frame.

Then, he opened his phone’s camera app, zoomed in on the production date on the package, and took several pictures.

He also photographed the shipping label on the cardboard box for evidence.

After that, he saved screenshots of everything: the order details, the payment confirmation, the product page, and so on.

Once he was done with everything, he opened his order details and contacted customer service.

"I bought your Luo Yin Society snail noodles during Brother Da Niu’s livestream, and you sent me a product that’s been expired for almost a year. Are you trying to kill me?"

Chen Mo sent the message along with a photo, demanding an explanation.

Soon, both his message and the photo were marked as ’read’.

"We apologize. This was our mistake, and we’re sorry for the poor shopping experience."

"You can choose to return the product, and we will send you a new one."

After seeing the photo and confirming it was indeed an expired product, the customer service representative, seemingly in disbelief, immediately suggested he return it.

They also promised to send him a replacement, free of charge.

Seeing the customer service representative’s reply, Chen Mo laughed in anger.

’Are they taking me for a fool?’

’Do they think they can make this whole thing go away by just having me return it?’

’Never mind anything else, according to the food safety laws, they should give me a refund plus ten times the product’s price as compensation.’

’The minimum compensation is 1,000 yuan.’

’Then there’s the consumer protection law, which mandates a refund plus three times the price, with a minimum of 500 yuan.’

’In other words, they owe me at least 1,500 yuan in compensation.’

’Plus a full refund.’

’And now they think they can solve this by casually telling me to return it for a replacement.’

’They really are treating me like an idiot.’

"I have saved all the evidence, including screenshots of our chat log."

"I’m not returning it, and I don’t need a replacement. I just want everyone to know that you sell expired food."

Chen Mo couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. He just wanted to make this brand go viral.

He didn’t need the 1,500 yuan in compensation.

All he had to do was post the evidence he’d gathered online, and he was confident he’d automatically find some allies.

Those allies might be rival snail noodle vendors.

Or they could be rival live-streamers.

In any case, they would all share the same goal as Chen Mo.

To make Luo Yin Society and Brother Da Niu go viral.

When that happened, Chen Mo wouldn’t have to do a thing. His allies would naturally lead the charge.

Whether by paying to get on trending lists or boosting posts with paid ads.

These people wouldn’t be stingy with their money at all; they’d be sure to pour cash into it.

When a whale falls, all things flourish.

When a top-5 live-streamer’s career collapsed, the amount of traffic freed up would be immense.

There wasn’t a single live-streamer who wouldn’t be drooling over that.

At a time like this, everyone would pitch in however they could—those with money would spend it, and those with influence would use it.

Soon, both of his messages were marked as ’read’.

But after several minutes, there was still no reply.

Chen Mo had already closed the chat window with customer service and was busy organizing his evidence.

RING~

Just then, his phone screen lit up with an incoming call.

A number from Suzhou.

"Hello?"

With a good idea of who it was, Chen Mo answered the call.
