Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Actually, she had very low demands for the world of watches, and was quite indifferent to it. However, Zhao Hao had been showering her with compliments and gifts these past few days, giving her a glimpse into the "luxury of the watch world" and plunging her into a terrible consumerist trap.

When it comes to buying things, you might not have enough money!

Therefore, developing potion recipes seemed like a natural progression.

Zhao Hao's last words finally shattered the professional dignity of the potion master: "Making money, there's nothing shameful about it~"

Putting aside the fact that Carrie the Witch is known as the top potion master in the Free City area, that's no exaggeration.

When Fatty first came to America, it was thanks to the potion brewed by Carrie that he was able to successfully compensate for the deficiencies in his martial arts. This demonstrates the skill of the witch Carrie.

Back in the Song Dynasty, Fatty, being an unorthodox individual, had few options for choosing a path to extraordinary abilities, and ended up taking the wrong one. Ultimately, this made it impossible for him to survive within the Song Dynasty, which is why he came to America to make a living.

As I said before, unless there's no other way, who would leave their homeland to make a living in a country where they know no one?

It was thanks to Carrie's potion that the fat man was able to overcome the inherent flaws in his cultivation technique and correct his path to extraordinary power.

Therefore, improving this "King's Immortality" potion is a piece of cake.

Carrie needs to consider how to select alternative materials that are also available in the watch world and are inexpensive and plentiful.

For this reason, Zhao Hao stayed in the inner world for several days, accompanying Carrie in conducting dozens of experiments.

Of course, I wasn't a guinea pig; I was there to help record experimental data and improve the formula using scientific experimental methods.

The final design formula achieved advantages such as inexpensive and readily available materials, a deceptive design that is difficult to crack, and a process that is easy to mass-produce.

Even if the effect is weakened, it doesn't matter.

It can still maintain a huge advantage in one-on-one combat.

……

Zhao Hao gathered his three friends: Gou Quan, Fatty, and Witch Carrie, and distributed shares to everyone.

Gou Quan will be the executive director from now on, Fatty and Jia Li will be shareholders with the formula, and Zhao Hao will be the chairman.

Zhao Hao: "Since we're opening a factory, we naturally need to come up with a name. Let's start by suggesting names for the medicine!"

"The magic potion that makes your spear never fall!" Gou Quan quickly answered.

Three people: "Pass!"

Gou Quan didn't care about saving face; he thought the name was brilliant for getting straight to the point. But the other three still had some sense of shame.

The name is too straightforward; it's embarrassing.

The fat man said, "How about calling it Imperial Divine Water?"

"No, no, people who don't know better will think it's some kind of cosmetic!"

Carrie stated that she would relinquish her right to name the child, but reserved the right to veto it.

In the end, Zhao Hao came up with a name, and everyone reluctantly approved it.

Let's call it "Viagra Energy Potion"!

Viagra is a pharmaceutical brand, and Zhao Hao has big ambitions; he wants to develop more drugs in the future.

The energy potion is obvious; anyone who's tried it knows.

Furthermore, when advertising, they can emphasize the gimmick of replenishing men's energy.

This medicine does indeed boost energy, but the side effect is an erection. This should be emphasized in the instructions; it's definitely not false advertising.

As for what you do after taking the energy potion, whether you work or do something else, that's none of the business of the seller.

Once the first all-natural herbal health product has gained recognition, Zhao Hao plans to launch a second topical medicated oil.

This time it's a targeted product!

Through scientific extraction and chemical synthesis, inexpensive, mass-produced medicinal oils have been created!

Its name is "Arabian Royal Court Magic Oil"!

The advertising slogan is already ready: "Many men feel that their weapons have too low durability, too high critical hit rate, and too poor physical penetration... Now, their savior has arrived! A mysterious formula from the ancient Arabian royal family will make you invincible! What are you waiting for? Quickly give your weapon—oil it!"

Everyone was very happy after the names were chosen and the positions were assigned.

In reality, Gou Quan was basically the only one in charge of sales and management, Zhao Hao was responsible for designing production processes and management regulations, and the other two were hands-off managers.

Even if Gou Quan publicly appears as the boss, he will ultimately need a professional manager for day-to-day operations. No boss is ever truly on the front lines.

Seeing that his three friends were about to leave, Zhao Hao quickly called out to them, "Wait, I have an idea, listen to it."

"I'm planning to set up a group company and include the cultural, entertainment, and clothing brands Gou Daodi and Wei Er Gang as subsidiaries. What do you think?"

The fat man waved his hand: "Do as you please."

Carrie, the witch, slung her newly bought bag over her shoulder and said, "I have no objection."

With only Zhao Hao and Gou Quan left staring at each other, there was naturally no problem.

And so, Zhao Hao's money-making conglomerate was established—Pipi Shrimp Future Company!

Currently, it has three main business segments: publication of periodicals, clothing, and health products.

……

Thanks to the Duke family's help, the company received the green light all the way, and the preparations were completed very quickly.

The first batch of experimental products has been produced, and the clinical trials were passed very quickly, even somewhat non-compliantly.

But it's quite normal that the Duke family pulled some strings.

Moreover, the clinical results are truly astonishing; it's a rare find among health supplements that doesn't mislead consumers and even has decent effects. After drinking it, one truly feels energetic, and the side effects are also quite noticeable.

Some researchers even secretly drank performance-enhancing drugs during double-blind experiments, and they were reluctant to leave once the experiment was over!

They say that Virgon helped them regain their male dignity; they're like second parents!

The Duke family, as expected of financial giants, realized the immense value of the product in the shortest possible time after the experimental results were revealed.

Although Alan dislikes business and doesn't even want to inherit the family business, his cousin-fiancée is no ordinary woman. She immediately invited Zhao Hao and the others to dinner, where they had a friendly discussion about the widespread promotion and advertising of the new product.

Zhao Hao naturally understood what she was thinking, and without her having to bring it up, he proposed that the Duke family could take a 30% stake, but be responsible for marketing and public relations.

Both sides had a pleasant conversation and each got what they needed.

With the full support of the Duke family, Pipi Shrimp Future Company is developing rapidly. Within just a few days, it has already begun commercial promotions on major media platforms.

The advertising slogan "Keep men energized day and night" quickly became a hit on both the East and West coasts.

Zhao Hao and his colleagues can simply sit back and make money.

Of course, this is on the premise that they are all extraordinary individuals, and quite powerful ones at that. For ordinary people, getting a large sum of money would be considered good.

Capitalists are ruthless and heartless...

……

This day was January 6th, the Laba Festival.

Zhao Hao received a card after signing in.

A bowl of Laba porridge from Xia Ke Dao (a popular Tibetan restaurant)

Black Iron 5-Star Item Card

Consuming: Enhances various physical qualities, heals hidden injuries, and improves spiritual potential.

Note: The main ingredient is the precious and extraordinary herb, the Heart-Corroding and Bone-Eroding Grass. Those below the Bronze level should not consume too much of it.

The card itself looks like a bowl of steaming hot Laba porridge.

This porridge is good, but you shouldn't drink too much of it. Zhao Hao wanted to share it with his friends.

So they called Elena, Fatty, and Gou Quan.

As soon as the fat man entered, he smelled a delicious aroma and saw one or two large bowls of steaming Laba porridge. He laughed and said, "Ritian, you're really traditional. In our Great Song Dynasty, very few people celebrate Laba anymore. But you only prepared one bowl of porridge, that's really stingy!"

Gou Quan, on the other hand, is more of a doer; he has already picked up the phone and called a nearby fried chicken shop to order delivery.

"You don't know what you're missing!" Zhao Hao exclaimed, slapping his thigh.

“Do you think this is just ordinary stuff? This is good stuff. I called you all here because I was thinking of you. Elena, go get a few small bowls.”

The four of them shared a bowl of porridge. It tasted quite good, and after eating it, they felt warm and comfortable all over.

The fat man first said "Eh".

"Hey, I can feel it! It's definitely not ordinary! My spiritual energy has become more concentrated! Amazing!"

Zhao Hao also sensed it, but the spiritual energy didn't become more concentrated; instead, it increased significantly, probably because its original quality was already very concentrated.

After eating the porridge, Elena felt much lighter, her breathing became easier, and her concentration improved. This clearly indicated an improvement in her physical fitness and her psychic potential.

On the contrary, Gouquan seems to find it quite delicious and satisfying.

Zhao Hao and Fatty had high hopes for him, thinking that since he had been out of the inner world for so long, his spiritual potential was already very high. After eating this Laba porridge, wouldn't he directly awaken his spiritual power and become an extraordinary person?

but.

Gou Quan put down his bowl and looked at the two of them, staring at each other.

The fat man couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Do you feel anything?"

Psychic awakening doesn't happen overnight; it usually comes with some warning signs.

Gou Quan carefully tasted it and then said, "The taste is good, but there's too little. It's gone in just one or two bites."

"Damn it!" The fat man was so angry he almost fell over backward. "Is this what I meant?"

Zhao Hao was also exasperated, "Hey, it's like Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit! It's a waste to give it to you! We're asking about psionic energy!"

Gou Quan retorted, "Pigsy couldn't taste the flavor when he ate the ginseng fruit! I can! It's delicious!"

The fat man's nose and eyes were contorted in disbelief; after all, this Laba porridge was truly a delicacy, clearly very precious. It was such a waste that Gou Quan had eaten it all!

However, he quickly came to terms with it, since awakening psychic powers often depends on fate and can't be rushed.

He said, "You're quite proud of yourself! Fine, if the monkey won't take the bait, I'll keep banging the gong. What kind of rotten wood haven't I seen? With Ritian and my help, even if you're a pig, we'll make you into Marshal Tianpeng!"
