In Zone 2243, Bai Qiu arrived at the Black Tower’s teleportation device with the two girls.
There were still two minutes left before his scheduled meeting with Ning Xingxue.
Four hundred meters?
Bai Qiu glanced at Wang Shiyun and Feng Yuling and asked,
“Do you want to wait here for me, or come with me?”
“P-please… take us with you!” They seemed very afraid of being left alone in an unfamiliar environment.
Only by staying close to Bai Qiu did they feel safe.
“I understand. What comes next might feel a bit uncomfortable, so prepare yourselves mentally,” Bai Qiu said as he removed his Dragonslayer Set MAX and began channeling his mana…
His immense magic power formed into two giant hands that grabbed Wang Shiyun and Feng Yuling.
Beneath his feet, a golden pathway of magic took shape, leading directly to the billboard where they had agreed to meet!
“Whoosh!” Standing on the magic pathway, Bai Qiu was propelled forward at high speed, sliding straight to the base of the billboard.
He glanced at the system time as he arrived.
7:29:02 PM.
…
“Do you always have to make such a flashy entrance?” Ning Xingxue teased.
Every time they met, she felt like Bai Qiu had grown stronger than the last time.
Zhao Daqiang looked at the two girls—one on each side of Bai Qiu after landing—and joked,
“What’s this? Brought two little girlfriends along today? Didn’t expect you, Brother Bai Qiu, who usually seems so aloof, to be quite skilled at picking up girls!”
Wang Shiyun and Feng Yuling both blushed deeply, hiding behind Bai Qiu and not daring to say a word.
“Well, it’s only natural for the strong to be admired and favored,” Huang Qi said with his arms crossed.
His hair stood on end, his body emitting a faint golden glow, and several long swords floated behind him…
His rather unique appearance made even Bai Qiu take an extra glance.
Bai Qiu didn’t explain what had happened that night to the group.
After all, it was quite an unpleasant experience for him, so he went straight to the point.
“What do you think about the mental power potions?” Bai Qiu asked.
He had already prepared about one-tenth of the required materials.
As long as a reasonable plan was established, with Bai Qiu’s current level of Spirit strength, he could finish producing all the mental power potions within two to three days.
Seeing Bai Qiu go straight to the point, Ning Xingxue and the others didn’t continue their earlier banter.
They exchanged glances and said seriously,
“The three of us discussed it and came up with a sales strategy—bundle selling.”
“Bundle selling?”
Noticing Bai Qiu’s confusion, Ning Xingxue nodded and explained,
“It means starting from F− quality mental power potions, a total of twelve quality tiers, all sold together as a bundle, targeting high-end players.”
“The advantages of this approach are quite obvious. First, it brings in money quickly. Second, it makes things more convenient for us as producers.”
Bai Qiu nodded, agreeing with this reasoning.
First of all, the supply of Dreamy Blossoms was limited—it was impossible to provide unlimited potions to all players across the 51 safe zones from Area 2200 to 2250.
Secondly, if they didn’t bundle the products, someone might buy an F− quality potion today, then come back tomorrow to buy an F grade one.
There was no way he could constantly adjust production based on each buyer’s preferences, so it was much simpler to bundle everything together as a one-stop service.
As for him, he only needed to maintain consistent proportions when producing different quality tiers of potions.
Seeing that Bai Qiu agreed, Ning Xingxue brought up the profit split and pricing plan.
“For the mental power potion business, how about a 60–40 split between us? I take 40, you take 60.”
Bai Qiu frowned slightly and asked,
“Why should I take the larger share?”
“That’s right—you ‘only’ have the crafting method. But that method is currently unique.
“You can replace me with a new partner anytime, but without your low-tier potions, I wouldn’t be able to earn even a single Sanctum Coin!” Ning Xingxue said.
This plan had been carefully thought out.
Bai Qiu, as the producer, would take the larger share.
She, as the one responsible for pricing, would take 40%, and from that, she would allocate 25% to her subordinates as wages, entrusting them with the sales operations.
This way, both she and Bai Qiu could sell the potions without spending too much time or effort.
While earning Sanctum Coins, the trading house under her control would also become extremely popular.
For her, taking a net 30% profit was not a loss at all—in fact, it was a win-win situation.
Bai Qiu nodded, agreeing to the plan.
That left only the pricing.
After further discussion, they finally decided that each bundle of mental power potions—twelve bottles per set—would be sold for 20,000 Sanctum Coins per set.
After some discussion, Ning Xingxue brought in her trusted subordinates.
After taking over the first batch of clients from Bai Qiu’s friend list, they prepared to officially begin sales.
Of course, they didn’t plan to sell all the mental power potions.
Instead, each of them would keep 100 sets for personal use, just in case.
Including Bai Qiu, that meant a total of 400 sets would be reserved as non-sale stock.
At 8 PM, Bai Qiu took Wang Shiyun and Feng Yuling to have dinner inside the Sanctuary Black Tower.
He also gave each of them 2,000 Sanctum Coins as starting funds, allowing them to buy clothes and daily necessities from the shops inside the tower.
After that, he rented four rooms for four months, spending another 4,000 Sanctum Coins.
Of these four rooms, one would serve as Bai Qiu’s resting room, one would be a shared bedroom for Wang Shiyun and Feng Yuling, one would function as a workshop for Bai Qiu and Ning Xingxue to craft potions in the future, and the last one would be kept as a spare—whether as a warehouse or a meeting room.
Although he had spent over 10,000 Sanctum Coins before even making any profit, this amount was negligible compared to Bai Qiu’s total assets.
With a total of 20,000 Dreamy Blossoms, they could produce 2,000 sets of mental power potions.
After setting aside 400 sets, 1,600 sets remained for sale.
Deducting the trading house’s 10% commission, and selling each set for 20,000 coins, Bai Qiu could net about 12,000 Sanctum Coins per set.
At 1,600 sets, if everything sold out, the total profit could reach nearly 20 million Sanctum Coins…
In comparison, the earlier expenses were practically insignificant.
Even Bai Qiu was startled by such astonishing profits and couldn’t help but sigh—merchants really do make money fast dealing in these kinds of goods.
As for whether they would sell well, that wasn’t even a concern.
After all, 20,000 Sanctum Coins was only about one-tenth the price of a C-rank piece of equipment or skill.
And for just one-tenth the cost of a C-rank item, buyers could gain an entirely new attribute within twelve days, even reaching C− rank.
Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t think this was a bad deal.
As a result, many large organizations across various safe zones made purchases without hesitation.
Even the smallest order was at least 20 sets, instantly wiping out Bai Qiu’s previously accumulated stock.
“Looks like I’ll have to work a bit of overtime tonight…”
