According to Mr. Zanghu’s original drug store expansion plan, he could directly absorb all pharmacies in small and medium-sized towns in a short period of time, and acquire NPC pharmacies as his own with high-quality and low-price elixirs.
Then, he will attract more NPC players to join the team through the drug store's publicity mouth, and he will develop and produce the elixir here. As long as the elixir formula can be kept top-secret, this is a business that can be counted on while lying down.
It is equivalent to saying that other players joining Mr. Zanghu's drug store are equivalent to opening an offline drug sales channel. Mr. Zanghu can earn franchise fees and a share of the sales of elixirs.
As for whether the quality of the medicines is high or not, Mr. Zanghu will be responsible for everything here.
This is just a game, and there are usually no drug safety issues. For the other players, as long as Mr. Zanghu can provide a stable supply, it is a win-win deal.
But after the demand increases, how to increase production is also a big problem. If players are hired to participate, the formula of the elixir is likely to be leaked.
So Mr. Zanghu’s idea is to hire a large number of NPCs to refine elixirs for himself.
This directly solves the problem of production capacity.
Originally, everything was developing in an orderly manner according to Mr. Zanghu's plan.
Until Mr. Zanghu went to a drug store in a medium-sized town to do some research, he was suddenly shocked to find that there was a level 4 elixir worth 5 million taels of silver openly displayed in the drug store in this medium-sized town.
"A level four elixir... 5 million taels?"
Mr. Zanghu frowned.
This is also an elixir independently produced by the player. Generally speaking, the market price of a level 4 elixir in the world of Sanxian'er Magic Ring is usually 1 million.
Unless the material is particularly rare, there may be a double premium.
Taking this level 4 elixir worth 5 million, Mr. Zanghu carefully checked the information on this elixir.
Name: Guixian Longxue Pill
Quality: Level 4
Rarity: ★★★★
Function: After taking it, all attributes can be temporarily increased by 25 points and last for 24 hours. This temporary attribute bonus will take effect on the copy and player PK at the same time. At the same time, you will receive a special halo of "Return to Light".
Note: Under the special state of "Returning to Light", when your character encounters a fatal blow, he will not die directly, but will be locked to a state of 1 drop of blood. At the same time, when the "Reflection" state takes effect, all abnormal states on the body will be cleared.
To be honest, the efficacy of the elixir cannot be said to be top-notch.
The effect of returning light. Some of Mr. Zanghu's existing elixirs also have such special medicinal properties, but the probability of them coming out is relatively low.
Therefore, 5 million pieces seems a bit outrageous to Mr. Zanghu.
And he discovered this when he was checking out.
"This gentleman who looks very similar to Tibetan Fox, may I ask... do you still want to buy it?" The clerk looked at Mr. Tibetan Fox politely and said.
This is what Mr. Zanghu thinks is most outrageous.
Because in order to do market research, Mr. Zanghu usually packs up and buys all the elixirs in this pharmacy at once after arriving on a new map, and does a price survey.
As a result, I never expected that when choosing the elixir, the price of the 5 million Guixian Dragon Blood Pill was actually hidden!
It wasn't until he noticed the astronomical figures on the bill when he was paying that he realized he had been stabbed in the back!
There is no doubt despair on Mr. Zanghu’s face…
He had only heard of the Ice Cream Assassin.
But I have never heard of the elixir assassin.
In the real world, daily necessities like elixirs that require strict production qualifications must be strictly controlled from production to sales. Most of the elixirs that can be purchased on the market have clearly marked prices. Even if prices fluctuate in various places, usually It will not exceed 3 yuan of Huaxiu coins.
oh…
This is a game.
That's okay.
All I can say is that the person who can use the Ice Cream Assassin routine to sell elixirs in the game is indeed a talent.
And their sales model is clearly targeted at users, basically only targeting players with money or new players who don’t understand it at all.
The raw materials may not be real, and although they are rare, they are not that rare. Therefore, the value of one pill of five million, and more of the four million in it comes from the story of the elixir itself.
Use content marketing to open up customers' minds and make buyers feel that the elixir they purchased is worth the money.
So essentially.
What I bought here was not only the elixir, but also a touching little story...
This really clears up the process of paying for content!
After glancing at the clerk in front of him with a look of disdain in his eyes, it was obvious that this clerk had undergone considerable training.
Mr. Zanghu probably knows a little bit about this type of routine.
Usually when they are hesitating to pay, these shop assistants will put on a scornful face and use micro-expressions or indifferent sarcastic remarks to stimulate your purchase.
But Mr. Zanghu is a veteran. As a walking encyclopedia of the world of cultivation, Mr. Zanghu’s experience is not limited to books, but also has rich social experience.
He would not be fooled by the clerk's glare, and finally removed the elixir assassin directly from the shopping cart and left.
Although the existence of Pill Assassin targets the mid-to-high-end market, and there is no obvious conflict with Mr. Zanghu’s current layout, in the future, when Mr. Zanghu wants to enter the high-end market, it will seem a bit awkward to enter this part of the market. It's too late.
And in Mr. Zanghu’s view, if you want to make elixirs high-end, you can’t rely on simple stories.
He needs to really make the elixir high-end, make it worthwhile, and gain recognition from mainstream players.
In addition to using top-quality raw materials, the method of refining the elixir must also be updated.
Traditional alchemy uses alchemy furnaces. The alchemy furnace rooms in modern cultivation societies are equipped with high-tech equipment and networked big data. All the medicinal materials added are accurate to the milligram, and even the temperature is accurately controlled by modern technology. This makes The quality of elixirs has been stabilized and standardized.
However, under this standardized model, the elixirs produced are naturally standardized elixirs. In ancient times, monks used the same formula to refine elixirs, but the elixirs they produced had different properties. This is based on the addition of the power of nature. The elixir has other additional properties.
Take Mr. Zanghu's alchemy refining in the wild as an example. He uses the most primitive pots and pots, and the success rate is not as good as that achieved with regular elixirs. However, it is better at refining some specific elixirs stably.
at this time.
Mr. Zanghu opened the game map.
He had a very bold idea in his mind.
There are countless ways to make elixirs, but if there is any way that can greatly increase the value of elixirs and make the elixirs more specific... Mr. Yi Zanghu's personal experience can only think of one.
He needs to find an active volcano!
Yes!
Volcano alchemy!
He will use the active volcano as an alchemy furnace to refine the elixir!
