Chapter 290: Chapter 180: Entering the Red Lotus Demon Lair Instance Again, Gathering Unusual Metallic Ores (5k)
After an explanation, Su Xing realized he had made a big blunder and felt quite embarrassed.
Hence, he hurriedly changed the topic,
"Cough cough, Sister Xue, how has the Tarot Society's business been doing lately? Do you need any help from me?"
Once business was mentioned, Jin Congxue's attention was immediately captured.
"The business of the Tarot Society has been doing well recently... As per your instructions, I've focused more manpower on white equipment and the mining of exotic metals..."
After speaking, Jin Congxue paused, voicing her concerns,
"However, just the staff for the mining of the six exotic metal copies numbers in the thousands... That's another large monthly expenditure..."
"And the main source of revenue for our trade association is still the Nourishing Face Pill, but now the market is essentially saturated, and the sales of Nourishing Face Pills are not as good as before, causing some issues with cash flow..."
Su Xing nodded slightly after listening.
He was to supply thousands of Nourishing Face Pills a week, equating to twenty or thirty thousand a month.
Moreover, a single Nourishing Face Pill could maintain one's appearance for one to three months.
Some wealthy women even hoarded dozens of Nourishing Face Pills, so it was indeed that the market was somewhat saturated.
After some thought, Su Xing said,
"I can also refine a high-grade version of Nourishing Face Pill that can maintain one's appearance for a year, or even three years!"
"Not only can it preserve one's appearance, but it can even make them look over ten years younger! After I give you the elixirs, we should be able to make a significant profit..."
The Nourishing Face Pills that Su Xing had been refining were always the basic version.
They were made using ordinary ginseng.
But now, in Su Xing's Spirit Field, a large batch of ten-year Spirit Ginseng had matured, and if used in refining, it would be enough to create genuine Nourishing Face Pills.
The efficacy was immeasurable compared to the basic version, akin to an Immortal Elixir for mortals!
Jin Congxue's eyes lit up after hearing this, clearly interested.
"Look younger by ten years... Keep one's appearance for one to three years?"
"Tsk~ If there's really such a pill, it would be extremely valuable, the price could be ten or even dozens of times higher!"
"However... we can't sell the high-grade Nourishing Face Pills on a large scale as before, we need to do hunger marketing!"
Jin Congxue, true to her reputation as a businesswoman, quickly formulated several plans for the sale of the Nourishing Face Pills.
Seeing this, Su Xing was very satisfied. With Jin Congxue's help, he had complete confidence in the development of the Tarot Society.
After pondering for a moment, Jin Congxue then said,
"Big Boss~ I've also been thinking about expanding into overseas markets... I'm sure countries like America, Huangdao Country, and the other six countries in the Twelve Domains would highly appreciate the Nourishing Face Pills!"
"The domestic market is saturated, but there's a vast blue ocean in the international market!"
Su Xing slightly nodded and responded,
"Leave these matters to you to handle, and discuss any issues with me..."
After discussing business, Su Xing skillfully took a tour around, scanning the area with his Divine Sense, then returned to the dormitory and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.
The goods for the new week were converted into simulation energy, worth over ninety million.
Thus, Su Xing's energy reserves were back to 150 million.
On the afternoon of September 9, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing promptly started a new round of simulation.
"Begin simulation!"
[Ding! The current simulation consumes 5200 points of energy, leaving a balance of 150.16 million points, unlimited remaining simulation times.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, do you wish to draw?]
"Draw the Purple Talent!"
Su Xing silently commanded.
[Ding, congratulations on receiving the Purple Talent, "I'm Not a Rain God!"]
[I'm Not a Rain God]: Purple Talent, everytime you sing loudly with an audience of over ten thousand, the probability of rain in the area within the next seven days is 100%. (Please come to the desert to hold a concert!)]
After seeing the new talent, Su Xing pursed his lips, muttering,
"Well, another conceptual talent? A forceful rainmaking talent... But this thing doesn't seem that useful!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly, at that moment unable to think of an appropriate use for the talent.
He turned his gaze towards the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realize you are in a simulation.]
[You have stayed in Kyoto City for a few days, then set out towards the Northern border region of the Great Xia.]
[You disguised yourself and used a spell to conceal your destiny, flying on your sword at tens of thousands of meters above the ground.]
[Half an hour later, you arrived in the Northwest Province, Maimai City.]
[Guided by your memory, you quickly located a dungeon heavily guarded by troops, the Flaming Hell Cave!]
[With just a little use of magic, you successfully avoided the guards and entered the Flaming Hell Cave dungeon.]
Su Xing slightly nodded to himself,
"During a previous simulation, I discovered a small high-grade exotic metal mine in this Flaming Hell Cave dungeon..."
"I wonder just how much exotic metal is contained within this dungeon?"
Su Xing thought to himself; his energy for simulations was severely lacking, and if he could not acquire more energy through new methods,
the supply of less than one billion a week would definitely not be sufficient for his next level of cultivation.
Therefore, Su Xing set his sights on the Flaming Hell Cave dungeon he had discovered before.
This mine dungeon might just provide Su Xing with a pleasant surprise?
Still, to be safe, Su Xing planned to simulate it in advance during this round to see if there were any risks.
With that in mind, Su Xing silently commanded,
"Engage the immersive simulation feature for 24 hours!"
[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation, spending 2.4 million points of energy, leaving a balance of 147.66 million points.]
As the simulator's notification sound faded, Su Xing's vision blurred for a moment.
