She simply brought all four members of the team together for the interview. If all four voted in favor, then that was the choice. Even so, the one truly making the selection was her alone.
As for Meng Xingchen, anyone he brought along was sure to be approved by him, which didn’t hold much reference value. Zhang Feng was merely a bystander, saying anyone would do. Lin Yao wasn’t very enthusiastic about participating in this activity and gave Bai Zhenzhen a look that said she could take charge.
With no other option, Bai Zhenzhen had to make the decisions herself. She ended up selecting individuals for the roles of supervisor, store operations, customer service manager, human resources, and finance. As for the others, they would have to choose for themselves.
The supervisor was named Liu Qingyun, a forty-year-old man who graduated from a top management school and was a Level Two psychic ability user. He worked as a project supervisor at Meng Pharmaceuticals and was capable with a strong personality; however, he had someone above him with more qualifications and stronger abilities. If he wanted to rise in rank, it was hard to say when that might happen.
Upon hearing Meng Xingchen's call to join them, he hesitated at first. However, when he heard they were auctioning off a tube of purification agent, he immediately agreed to switch over to a fledgling online store as a supervisor without much else to offer.
Since there wasn’t a dedicated office space yet, Bai Zhenzhen met with them briefly and then allowed them to work from home for the time being. She instructed Liu Qingyun that his first task was to rent an office space.
True to his talent, Liu Qingyun found one within three days and negotiated the rent; all that was left was for her to see it and sign the contract afterward. After visiting the place and being quite satisfied with it, she felt assured of his abilities and entrusted him with handling the subsequent opening and promotion of the store.
On the date marked in the Cloud Dream Star Calendar, the Mingguang Pharmacy Store—jointly owned by the Mingguang team—officially opened its doors. Many people clicked on the link to participate in the auction of the purification agent without any intention beyond just observing. They thought if this pharmacy didn’t gain much fame or if its promotion fell flat, they might snag a bargain if prices were low. Even if they couldn’t find a deal, it would still be good for broadening their horizons.
Who knew that once they entered, it would be so enticing! Inside were many items not available on the market. For instance, there was hemostatic powder with a note stating: "Stops bleeding within two minutes for general blood loss."
The efficacy of this hemostatic powder pales in comparison to other hemostatic agents on the market, but its price is remarkably low. The cheapest hemostatic agents typically cost around seven to eight thousand star coins, while this hemostatic powder is only one thousand star coins.
Regardless of the era, the wealthy always make up a small portion of the population, with most people being ordinary individuals. The average annual income for most people ranges from tens to hundreds of thousands of star coins; how could they possibly afford to spend so much on a hemostatic potion?
The hemostatic powder is different, priced at about one-tenth of other agents. It can be used multiple times for minor injuries, making it an incredibly affordable option that is certainly worth purchasing.
In addition to the hemostatic powder, there is also scar removal ointment available. While there are more comprehensive beauty serums on the market that can whiten skin, remove scars, eliminate spots, and tighten pores, these products are often immediate in effect and cost over a hundred thousand star coins per dose—far too expensive for the average person.
The scar removal ointment costs one hundred star coins per box and lasts for seven days. One treatment can remove small scars; larger or deeper scars may require multiple treatments, with effectiveness determined by actual results.
The stamina recovery liquid costs one hundred star coins per vial. One vial can restore all stamina for techniques below level four, eighty percent for level five techniques, ten percent for level six techniques, forty percent for level seven techniques, and ten percent for level eight techniques (ineffective for techniques above level eight).
The ability recovery liquid also costs one hundred star coins per vial. One vial can restore all abilities for level three or below ability users, eighty percent for level four users, ten percent for level five users, and twenty percent for level six users (not recommended for level seven and above due to slow recovery).
The revitalizing balm costs one hundred star coins per box and can be used multiple times. A small amount applied to the temples can invigorate and refresh the mind for two hours.
The mental clarity potion costs one hundred star coins per vial. When combined with a technique to clear mental energy, it can alleviate about ten percent of mental confusion and reduce approximately ten percent of mental agitation (the technique can be obtained free by contacting customer service after purchasing the potion).
Beast attracting powder costs one hundred star coins per bottle and can be used multiple times. It attracts beasts below level four (for first-time use, please use a small amount multiple times to avoid disasters).
Insect repellent powder costs one hundred star coins per bottle and can also be used multiple times. It repels insect-like beasts or ordinary insects below level four.
Paralysis potion costs one hundred star coins per vial.
It can paralyze beasts below level four for a minute. (Do not attempt to use it on beasts above level four, as it may provoke a frenzied retaliation.)
Psychedelic Potion: One star coin per vial.
It can induce hallucinations in beasts below level four.
In addition to these special potions and powders, there are, of course, some ordinary potions available on the market at the same price.
Moreover, aside from these potions, the online store features a highly attractive custom section.
Custom Energy Food: It helps to break through physical ability levels safely and without side effects. Custom energy food (you can provide your own ingredients) is best made with freshly killed beast meat. For specific customization methods, please contact customer service.
Below is a short video showing a person in a chef's outfit taking a piece of beast meat for testing with a machine.
The testing data shows: Energy Level: [level], Energy Value: [value].
After testing, the person processes the beast meat slightly and then places it over the fire to roast.
Soon, the meat is ready, and the person puts it back into the machine for testing.
This time, the testing data shows: Energy Level: [level], Energy Value: [value].
The crowd gasps in surprise.
Those who have tried energy food know that while they only saw the chef test the energy level of the food, it is widely accepted that the energy contained in the food decreases after cooking.
Yet this video surprisingly shows an increase in energy—it's simply outrageous.
As a result, many people left comments below the video, claiming that the data must be fabricated.
Still, many were drawn by the promotional offer of half-price custom energy food during the first three days of opening and attempted to place orders.
After all, the slogan promising to help break through physical ability levels safely and without side effects holds great appeal for those hoping to advance but unable to afford breakthrough potions.
Three purification potions were auctioned off by Bai Zhenzhen over three days, with one potion auctioned each day.
Aside from the first day's auction price being far below market value, interest grew for the subsequent two potions due to the excitement generated by earlier auctions. Although the final prices did not reach astronomical heights like those at formal auction houses, the total final price for these three potions exceeded two hundred million coins.
