Chapter 77 - Side Task
After a while more, twenty lucky winners were drawn. However, it was very strange as all the winners were all men.
But since it was a lottery, people didn't question it much. Such a strange coincidence could really happen in a lottery.
The people who weren't lucky enough to win the Great Energy Pills looked at the twenty winners with jealousy.
When the noise subsided, the program continued on and the product-selling part came.
Great Energy Pills and Spirit Energy Pills were finally put on sale.
Regarding the price of these two types of pills, the original price of the Great Energy Pill was 1,499 C dollars per pill, however, since today was the promotion day, the company decided to discount 13.3% of the original price. Therefore, the price of each pill was reduced to 1,300 C dollars.
As for the Spirit Energy Pill, its original price was 1,199 C dollars per pill. However, after the 15.8% discount, it was reduced to 1,010 C dollars per pill.
However, there was also the premium type. For one premium box of Great Energy Pills that contained ten Great Energy Pills, it cost 14,990 C dollars. But after the discount, it was reduced to 14,000 C dollars per box.
The same went for Spirit Energy Pills. One premium with 10 Spirit Energy Pills cost 11,000 C dollars after the discount.
Almost everyone who came here today went to line up and buy Great Energy Pills and Spirit Energy Pills.
However, not everyone could buy Great Energy Pills. Only males who were 18 years older were allowed to buy.
A lot of ladies questioned this, but the answer they got was: Great Energy Pill contained too much Yang Energy and it was not suitable for females to consume as it might be harmful to them. But it was extremely safe for males.
But Yang Song didn't plan to do business with just one gender. He promised them that he would try to make another type of Great Energy Pill that was suitable for women to consume.
With this, every lady cheered up.
The promotion was only limited to today. From tomorrow on, both types of pills would be sold at their original price.
For this reason, it made many people who were short on money conflicted for a while. But in the end, they still chose to buy them.
No way, these two pills were too charming to ignore. Especially the Great Energy Pill that hailed to have a possibility of allowing an ordinary person to break the shackles and become a martial artist.
By the time the product-selling part took place, the number of people didn't decrease at all. On the contrary, it increased greatly.
Some people who were short on money called their relatives and friends alike to come here and help them buy both types of pills.
Looking at this chaotic atmosphere, Yang Song smiled brightly, "This is not a bad start. Starting tomorrow, our pills will be sold at the original price, and we will implement the strategy that we discussed previously. That is, we have to create an image of scarcity and rarity to keep prices inflated."
Yang Haonan and Dickson San who were standing behind Yang Song nodded their heads repeatedly.
"By the way, did Wu Yonggui buy our pills?" After a few seconds, Yang Song asked.
"Yes, patriarch. They bought a lot of Great Energy Pills and Spirit Energy Pills. According to my estimation, they will try the pills themselves and also try to crack the formula of the pills."
Dickson San said.
"Hehe, it's too naïve if they think they can crack the formula. Especially the Great Energy Pill formula. There is a very special raw material used, and it's very hard to figure it out. But even if they can figure it out, they still don't know the refining process. Those raw materials need to be put in order. Even if you throw the wrong one in first, the pill will become very toxic."
Yang Song put his hands behind his back and continued to look at the crowd through his sunglasses.
After a while more, he turned back and looked at the two. "By the way, Haonan, find a group of professionals and take my photos and stick it on the products. I think I'm not needed anymore, so I'm going back now."
After he left these words, he directly walked away, found his hoverboard, and left leisurely.
…
It was already noon, and the weather today was quite hot.
On the road, many cars could be seen coming and going.
Among them, a line of three black sedans was on its way to Martial City.
Inside one of the black sedans.
"Big brother, will this Great Energy Pill really be as effective as that old thing said?" A fat man was holding a Great Energy Pill and asking Wu Yonggui who was sitting next to him.
"Fool, how am I supposed to know? I've never tried it before too. Let's just try it when we arrive home," Wu Yonggui said. "But if it is not as effective as that old guy said, we will scold him and report him to the police for selling fake things. However, if this pill is that good, then we can try to crack its formula and imitate it…"
"Good idea!" The fat man nodded in agreement. "By the way, big brother, we've been scolding that old man for a while now, but he's still so silent. What does he plan to do?"
"Fool, how am I supposed to know this? I'm not him," Wu Yonggui slapped the head of the fat man, "but there's one thing I'm pretty sure about. I don't believe that his website will be successful. He said he wanted to open an online writer training course, didn't he? Humph, does he think training writers is as easy as training dogs? It's a pity that we can't contend with him directly as that will generate too many disadvantages for us, otherwise, I will make sure that the Yang Family will fall into the mud!"
Wu Yonggui narrowed his eyes and looked outside the window with a cold face.
…
At the Yang Family courtyard.
After Yang Song arrived, he directly went to the secret room and checked the ranking of his family influence.
When this function was first opened, the Yang Family's rank was 220th in the area under the jurisdiction of Martial City.
With the Great Energy Pills and Spirit Energy Pills being on the market, twenty points were added up into the family influence today. Coupled with the other ten points that Yang Song had accumulated so far, the ranking of Yang Family went up by thirty, making the Yang Family's rank jump to 190 in the area under the jurisdiction of Martial City.
As long as the Great Energy Pills and Spirit Energy Pills' reputation broke away from the boundary of Tong City and spread throughout Martial City, and enough time was given, his family ranking would surely rise.
"This speed is quite slow, however, I'm not in a hurry either. What I need are a stable position and strong power. If my family rises too fast, our family power definitely won't be able to keep up with it. What I pursue isn't just reputation but also wealth, resources, personal power, and connections."
"However, as long as my power is strong enough, connections, wealth, and resources will come running by themselves…"
As Yang Song was thinking about this, a system prompt popped up out of nowhere.
[Ding, a side task detected.
Side Task: Make the Yang Family's rank rise to the 100th position in the area under the jurisdiction of Martial City.
Time Limit: None
Reward: Basic Talisman Manual]
When he saw this, Yang Song was taken aback for a moment before he revealed uncontrollable excitement that came along with his wide smile.
For this task, Yang Song didn't feel it was hard at all. He believed that he would complete it very soon.
However, he felt that after he completed this task, another task similar to it would appear. For example, to make the Yang Family's rank rise to the 1st position in the area under the jurisdiction of Martial City.
And he estimated that the same kind of task would appear in the future.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Song looked around the secret room and found that Xiao Laoxu was nowhere to be seen. Only the Undead Steel Scavenger was seen sleeping soundly in his newly decorated hole.
"That fellow must've gone to dig holes outside again. When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson."
Yang Song shook his head helplessly before he walked to the futon and took out the Yellow Spring Shell Bead before he started cultivating.
…
Great Energy Pill Factory, in a certain hole.
Pa!
"Oh yes, just a bit more, I'm almost done, daddy, I mean Master!" Luo Xiang rubbed his head that had just been slapped by Xiao Laoxu who was staying near him.
With this slap, Luo Xiang increased his speed of tapping the calculator and his speed of writing.
Pa!
"Hurry up if you want to eat Great Energy Pill!" Xiao Laoxu slapped Luo Xiang's head again.
Somehow, Xiao Laoxu developed a tendency to slap Luo Xiang. And every time Luo Xiang called out "Master", he received a strange sense of satisfaction.
But now, he needed Luo Xiang to do those exercises in a hurry. He had to finish it before Yang Song came back.
It was a pity that Xiao Laoxu didn't know that Yang Song had already gone back home, otherwise, he would've already cried with fright at this moment.
