"Since that's the case, you might as well wait a few more days to open. I've scheduled my pharmacist qualification exam for three days from now. Once I pass, the three purification potions I concocted can be put up for auction in your online store. That will help establish a reputation for your shop."
Zhenzhen's face lit up with joy, but she still confirmed, "You need to think this through. A new shop like mine might not fetch high prices at a large auction."
"It's fine; it's not like we’re losing out on much," she replied. Although her account was empty, she had plenty of valuable items in hand.
Recently, she had been reporting to the First Research Institute every day, checking in at each department and had already acquired many remarkable items:
- Ability Enhancement Potion (used to enhance abilities; requires a check-in point to unlock the final potion formula)
- Body Repair Potion (used to heal various physical injuries; requires a check-in point to unlock the final potion formula)
- Strengthening Potion (used in conjunction with physical techniques for efficient training; requires a check-in point to unlock the final potion formula)
- Ability Development Potion (safely develops abilities without side effects; requires a check-in point to unlock the potion formula)
- Energy Stones (essential energy source for mechas)
- Flexible Iron (a refining material; requires a check-in point to unlock the refining steps)
- Light-sensitive Material (a material used for invisibility; requires a check-in point to unlock the refining steps)
From the notes on those potions, it was clear that aside from the Ability Development Potion, which had yet to be developed, all others were likely available but not yet optimized for their best formulas. If necessary, these potion formulas could also be utilized.
However, Zhenzhen's current stock of potion formulas brought from the Mingguang Star System was already sufficient. It was best not to encroach on others' research efforts unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing Lin Yao so straightforward, Zhenzhen no longer hesitated. "Now that we've settled on shares, let's also divide responsibilities. Is anyone willing to take on a role in the shop?"
The three exchanged glances and shook their heads in refusal.
Zhang Feng said, "I’ll handle the production of energy food. As for sales and order taking, that’ll be up to you, Zhenzhen."
"Since I'm leading this effort and you all are unwilling to manage it, I’ll take charge of running the shop," Zhenzhen declared. "However, Meng Xingchen, I hope your people can get in place quickly. I don’t want to be the only one running things when we open."
"I understand!" Meng Xingchen replied.
"Next, let’s decide on a name for the shop and finalize our opening date."
As soon as Meng Xingchen mentioned the shop name, everyone became interested. "How about 'Four-Person Potion'?" he suggested. "Didn’t we have a movie in Yunmeng about a four-person team? The name resonates right away."
The moment he said it, the suggestion was met with a wave of ridicule.
"That’s such a cringeworthy movie! How can you use that as the name for a potion shop? It’s just too embarrassing!"
Even Zhang Feng disagreed, saying, "I think we should stick with the name our captain came up with. 'Mingguang Potions' sounds good—it's catchy and has some sentimental value."
Zhenzhen nodded in agreement. "Yes, I think that name is nice too. 'Mingguang' means bright and radiant; it gives off a sense of a promising future. Let’s go with that."
Lin Yao opened her mouth to object, but seeing everyone so excitedly in favor of it, she hesitated to voice her refusal.
Since they had to wait for Lin Yao to obtain her pharmacist qualification certificate before they could auction off the purification potion she concocted, Zhenzhen tentatively set the opening date for the day after tomorrow.
Purification potions were quite rare in the Yunmeng galaxy, so they needed some time to build anticipation and let it ferment, allowing more people to learn about it.
This would not only give Lin Yao's potion a better chance at attracting bidders but also serve as advertising for Mingguang Potions.
To promote the online store for Mingguang Potions, Zhenzhen invested heavily—three million in total, with one million allocated solely for advertising.
They bought three days of prime advertising slots across various social media platforms on StarNet, including lifestyle and gaming entertainment sites, as well as popular real-world attractions and public venues.
The purification potion would serve as their main promotional material; having this product would surely attract significant attention.
The allure of purification potions for interstellar people stemmed from the fact that those with special abilities often faced issues due to excessive use of their powers.
Minor issues included mental disarray. This state could lead to disrupted sleep, causing sleepless nights; or worse, it could affect emotions and mental clarity, making learning, living, and working difficult.
Of course, these were just minor inconveniences compared to more severe conditions.
The most critical issue was that frequent and excessive use of mental power on the battlefield could lead to mental disorders.
These disorders were categorized into three stages:
The first stage was mental confusion, characterized by headaches, fatigue, irritability, and general disarray.
The second stage was mental upheaval. During this phase, individuals experienced excruciating headaches and lost control completely while still retaining a sliver of rationality.
The third stage was mental collapse. By this point, very few could endure the pain; without control, many would resort to self-harm.
To address these mental issues, various medications had been developed on the market to treat mental health problems.
Examples included purification potions, calming agents for mental stress, and clarity potions.
Among the various effects, the most remarkable one is undoubtedly the Purification Potion. Just a single vial can alleviate even the most severe mental breakdowns. However, while the effects of the Purification Potion are impressive, its main ingredient, the Pure Source Fruit, is extremely rare and mostly held by the military, making it seldom available in the market. This scarcity leads to a frenzy whenever the Purification Potion appears for sale.
Thus, the promotional content is straightforward and impactful, focusing on three key points:
Time: Cloud Dream Star Calendar, Month, Day.
Location: Star Network Commercial Sector, Mingguang Pharmacy.
Event: Grand Opening Celebration, Auction of Purification Potions.
The promotion is in full swing, and other preparations are also underway. Meng Xingchen, as the second son of the Meng Pharmaceutical family, possesses significant influence. Not only did he recruit people for this event, but he also brought along several candidates for Zhenzhen to choose from.
Zhenzhen insisted that it was unnecessary to go to such lengths; anyone who could join Meng's company and work as a supervisor must be among the best in their field. Meng Xingchen urged her to take her time selecting. There are many capable individuals, but not everyone will be a good fit together.
Zhenzhen could only think to herself that perhaps it was her own perspective that was too narrow.
