Chapter 2170
2170 Chapter 2,166, Pill Assassin (1/86)
According to Mr. Hidden Fox’s original plan, he would be able to absorb all the potion shops in small and medium-sized towns within a short period of time. He would then purchase NPC potion shops for himself with high-quality and low-cost pills.
After that, he would use the potion shop’s publicity to attract more NPC players to join his shop. He would then develop and produce the pills in his shop. As long as he could ensure that the recipe was top-secret, this would be a transaction that would allow him to earn a lot of money.
It was the same as saying that if the other players joined Mr. Hidden Fox’s potion shop, it would be the same as opening up an offline channel to sell the pills. Mr. Hidden Fox would be able to earn the alliance fees and share in the sales of the pills.
As for whether the quality of the pills was good or not, Mr. Hidden Fox would be in charge of everything here.
This was just a game. Normally, there would not be any problems with the safety of the pills. To the other players, as long as Mr. Hidden Fox could provide a stable supply of the pills, it would be a win-win situation.
However, after the demand increased, how to increase the production was also a big problem. If players were hired to participate, the recipe of the medicine was very likely to be leaked.
Therefore, Mr. Hidden Fox’s idea was to hire a large number of npcs to refine the medicine for himself.
This directly solved the problem of production capacity.
Originally, everything was developing in an orderly manner according to Mr. Hidden Fox’s plan.
When Mr. Hidden Fox went to a medium-sized town’s medicine shop to investigate, he was shocked to discover that a level 4 medicinal pill worth 5,000,000 silvers was openly displayed in this medium-sized town’s medicine shop.
“A Level 4 medicinal pill… 5,000,000 silvers?”
Mr. Hidden Fox frowned.
Similarly, this was a medicinal pill that was produced independently by players. Generally speaking, the market price of a Level 4 medicinal pill was usually 1,000,000 silvers in the world of the unaffiliated magic rings.
Unless the material was extremely rare, there was a possibility of a double premium.
With this level 4 medicinal pill worth 5,000,000 yuan, Mr. Hidden Fox carefully looked at the information of this medicinal pill.
Name: Returning Immortal Dragon’s blood pill
Quality: Level 4
Rarity: ?????
Effect: after consumption, all attributes will be temporarily increased by 25 points for 24 hours. This temporary attribute bonus will be effective for instance dungeons and pvp battles. At the same time, you will receive a special aura of “Return of light”.
NOTE: under the special status of “Return of light”, when your character is hit by a fatal blow, he or she will not die immediately. Instead, he or she will be locked into the status of 1 drop of health. At the same time, when the “Return of light”status is activated, all abnormal status on the body will be cleared.
To be honest, the effects of the medicinal pill could not be considered top-notch.
The effect of the last ray of light in Mr. Tibetan Fox existing pills there are some pills will produce such a special medicinal properties, but the probability is relatively low.
So 5 million per pill seems a little far-fetched to Mr. Zanghu.
And he found it when he was checking out.
“This looks like the Tibetan fox, sir, excuse me… Do you still buy?”The clerk looked politely at Mr. Tibetan Fox said.
This was what Mr. Hidden Fox thought was the most ridiculous part.
Because in order to do market research, Mr. Hidden Fox would usually buy all the medicinal pills in this pharmacy in one go after arriving at the new map and do a price survey.
In the end, he never expected that when he chose the medicinal pills, the price of this five million immortal returning Dragon Blood Pill was actually hidden!
It was not until he paid the bill and found the astronomical figure on the bill that he realized that he had been backstabbed!
There was no doubt that Mr. Hidden Fox’s face was filled with despair..
He had only heard of ice-cream assassins.
But he had never heard of pill assassins.
In the real world, life products like pills that required strict production qualifications had to be strictly checked from production to sales. Most of the pills that could be bought on the market were clearly priced, even if there was a price fluctuation around, it would usually not exceed 3 huaxiu dollars.
Oh..
This was a game.
Then it was fine.
It could only be said that the person who could use the ice-cream assassin’s trick to sell elixirs in the game was indeed a talent.
Moreover, their sales model was targeted at obvious users. Basically, they were only scamming rich players or new players who did not understand anything at all.
The raw materials might not be the real thing. Although they were rare, they were not that rare. Therefore, the value of 5 million per pill, the 4 million inside, still came from the story of the elixirs themselves.
Through the marketing of the content to open up the customer’s mind, let the buyer feel that the pill they bought was worth it.
Therefore, in essence.
What they bought was not only the pill, but also a touching little story..
This really made the job of paying for the content clear!
Looking at the shop assistant in front of him who had a look of disdain in his eyes, it was obvious that this shop assistant had gone through a considerable degree of training.
Mr. Hidden Fox was more or less familiar with this kind of trick.
Usually, when the shop assistant hesitated to pay, he would put on a disdainful face and use micro-expressions or inoffensive words to provoke the customer into spending.
However, Mr. Hidden Fox was experienced. As a walking encyclopedia of the Cultivation World, Mr. Hidden Fox’s experience was not limited to books, but also a wealth of social experience.
He would not be fooled by the shop assistant’s supercilious look. In the end, he directly moved the pill assassin out of the shopping cart and left.
Although the existence of the pill assassin reaped the middle-and high-end market, there was no obvious conflict with Mr. Hidden Fox’s current layout. However, in the future, when Mr. Hidden Fox wanted to enter the high-end market.., it would be a little too late to enter this part of the market.
Moreover, in Mr. Hidden Fox’s view, if he wanted to make the pill high-end, he absolutely couldn’t rely on a simple story.
He needed to really make the pill high-end, so that this pill would be worth it and obtain the approval of mainstream players.
Other than using top-notch raw materials, the method of refining pills also had to be updated.
The traditional pill refining was done with pill furnaces. In the modern cultivation society, the pill furnaces were all equipped with high-tech equipment, connected to the Internet and big data. All the medicinal ingredients added were accurate to milligrams, and even the temperature was precisely controlled by modern technology, this allowed the quality of the medicinal pills to be stabilized and standardized.
However, under this standardized model, the medicinal pills produced were naturally standardized medicinal pills. In ancient times, when cultivators refined medicinal pills with the same formula, the medicinal pills they refined had different characteristics, this was due to the addition of the power of nature, which allowed the medicinal pills to have other additional attributes.
For example, Mr. Hidden Fox used the most primitive pot to refine pills in the wild. The success rate was not as high as that of a normal pill refining tool, but it was better than being able to steadily refine some special pills.
At this moment.
Mr. Hidden Fox opened the game map.
He had a very bold idea in his heart.
There were thousands of ways to refine pills, but if there was a way to greatly increase the value of the pills and allow the specificity of the pills to reach the extreme… Mr. Hidden Fox’s personal experience only came up with one.
He needed to find an active volcano!
Yes!
A volcano to refine pills!
He would use an active volcano as a pill furnace to refine pills!
