Chapter 117 Simulation: Starting a Business Together
Sun Shisheng scrutinized the drop of silver-white moonlight, about the size of a fingernail, and discovered that it slightly differed from the moonlight in the Three Realms, but to some extent, it indeed suited human energy replenishment.
This drop, if used for cultivation, was equivalent to one gram of Spiritual Energy; if used to sustain one's consumption, it could let a person go without food for a month.
"I use the Dragon and Tiger Alchemy Skill to extract energy from the moonlight, gathering this drop of moon essence," explained Li Hansha. "Logically speaking, moonlight is a reflection of sunlight, but sunlight is too fierce, making it impossible to extract the essence of the sun."
"Perhaps my cultivation level is still not high enough…"
"Or maybe, it's because the sunlight, after being reflected by the moon, lacks a certain type of fluctuation, making it milder and yielding it extractable through my condensing and gathering methods."
At this moment, Li Hansha's hands were still continuously rotating.
After all, this moon essence was condensed from moonlight and would surely disperse and disappear if she stopped.
Hence, it required Li Hansha to constantly use her power to guard it.
Sun Shisheng pointed his finger, and the moonlight escaped Li Hansha's guarding, fixed into shape, and slowly floated toward his fingertip, no longer requiring mental and Solidifying Pill Skill support.
Li Hansha also sighed in relief.
"Such moonlight cannot be absorbed by ordinary people; even diluted, it requires a life-force of over 0.8 to be barely absorbable."
Sun Shisheng's discerning eyes instantly recognized the nature of this drop of moon essence.
"The energy on Earth mostly comes from the sun above. The so-called essence of sun and moonlight involves directly absorbing energy from light, bypassing the ecological chain's transmission."
"Once life-force reaches a certain level, and a transformation occurs, one can actively extract the essence of sun and moon."
"Perhaps, this could become one of Ming Lun Martial Arts School's industries,"
Li Hansha nodded, "That's a good idea, although currently only I can extract it. Director, you probably could as well, but you likely wouldn't spend time extracting the essence of sun and moon."
To turn this into an industry, relying on manual effort was not sufficient.
It had to be industrialized.
However, industrializing his Dragon and Tiger Gathering Solidifying Pill Skill was certainly not an easy task; even the initial mechanical equipment manufacturing was a hassle.
Of course, if successful, then all the effort would be worth it.
"Industrialization is necessary, but before that, we need to expand the industries of Ming Lun Martial Arts School," Sun Shisheng shared his thoughts.
Currently, under Ming Lun Martial Arts School, besides the martial arts school itself, there was also a Ming Lun Biomedical company.
This was a company Sun Shisheng established during his university days. Its special cancer medicines, AIDS remedies, and future sun and moon essence, were all distributed through it.
However, in the manufacturing industry, this biomedical company merely possessed ordinary equipment, and various high-end equipment and materials had to be imported from abroad.
This was not a problem, since Tang Zichen was a mafia boss, and a phone call from him would suffice to arrange for the imports.
And the science of refining the essence of sun and moon…
"All right, I understand. I'll find a way to industrialize the extraction of the sun and moon essence," Li Hansha felt he might need to spend some time understanding the modern industrial production system.
Normally, if Sun Shisheng were to handle this, it would have been easier, but he was currently planning the Taixu Illusory Realm.
Though he wasn't exactly tied down, given Li Hansha's talent, letting him showcase it might lead to broader insights.
At that moment, Chan Yinsha entered Li Hansha's alchemy room to buy a batch of Foundation Building Elixirs for the students she personally taught.
Of course, the money was from the students; she was just running the errand.
Because Li Hansha didn't much like being disturbed by various students, so if students wished to purchase specific elixirs, their instructors had to come during specified times.
Otherwise, he offered no service.
And the so-called Foundation Building Elixir was, in fact, the Ten Complete Great Tonic Elixir, made from ginseng, lingzhi, polygonatum, deer antler, yam, and various other medicinal materials boiled and kneaded into pills.
One pill could replenish all the nutrients needed for a day.
Therefore, this pill was popular among the students.
"Sun, you're here too," greeted Chan Yinsha, her eyes landing on the drop of silver water on Sun Shisheng's fingertip, "What's this?"
"Moonlight essence," Sun Shisheng explained to Chan Yinsha.
"You've even refined moonlight now," Chan Yinsha felt it was almost unbelievable. "This world is becoming more like a fantasy... How much is this drop of Moonlight Essence?"
Sun Shisheng looked at Li Hansha, "What do you think, how much should it be priced at?"
Li Hansha thought it over and said, "This drop, probably about one billion. If diluted to a level that ordinary people can absorb, it could be priced at ten million."
Chan Yinsha: "..."
Ten million?
Are you sure that's a price ordinary people can afford?
As expected!
She was still a poor person!
"However—"
Li Hansha changed the topic, "For our own people within the martial arts school, we can offer a discount, just like with the Spiritual Qi Elixir, one million per drop."
Chan Yinsha breathed a sigh of relief, "That price is quite fair."
However, Chan Yinsha did not purchase it, after all, the effects of Yue Hua were similar to the Spiritual Qi Elixir, and she already had plenty of Spiritual Qi Elixirs stored, she did not need Yue Hua yet.
After purchasing one hundred and thirty-nine Ten Complete Great Tonic Elixirs from Li Hansha, Chan Yinsha inquired about the preparations for opening the Taixu Illusory Realm, "Sun, in what manner will the Taixu Illusory Realm be opened?"
"In the form of a game," Sun Shisheng had already thought of a strategy.
"A game?"
Chan Yinsha was not concerned about this, but she somewhat knew how games operated through what she had heard from the students, "First, we need a game company."
"Next, it's about operation."
"Then, creating a game — on this point, can the Taixu Illusory Realm connect with data?"
Sun Shisheng nodded, "Naturally, the Taixu Illusory Realm is an illusory world, and data are also illusory. There is a connection between the two through the energy fields between heaven and earth, which allows me to convert consciousness and data into each other." This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on M-VLEMPYR.
"It can be said that the Taixu Illusory Realm will become a massive consciousness connection hub!"
"However, only ordinary people can enter with their consciousness, only those who have reached the embryonic breathing level or have been given permission by me can enter with their true bodies."
Chan Yinsha understood that she, Tang Zichen, Wang Chao, and Li Hansha were among those who had been given permission by Sun Shisheng.
However, they had already reached the level of embryonic breathing. The role of this permission was not that significant anymore; it was merely a certification to enter and exit the Taixu Illusory Realm.
Li Hansha thought for a moment and asked, "Why opt for a game format? You could directly open it up, creating a sense of mystery and even instill a sense of crisis in people to some extent."
After learning that Earth was a projection of the Thousands of Realms' Celestial Sphere, Li Hansha felt that humanity on Earth needed to become stronger.
And a sense of crisis is one of the important motives for rapid human enhancement.
In war, human technological development is the fastest...
The main reason is the sense of crisis of extinction, which can cause humans to explode with a strong desire to survive, and this shred of survival desire can stimulate the potential of the human body!
Similarly, unknown things can also stimulate humans' sense of crisis.
Therefore, he was more inclined towards a direct opening.
Sun Shisheng shook his head, expressing his thoughts, "The reason is simple, unknown crises, although they can stimulate people's potential to a certain extent, they can also cause great panic."
"Even the likelihood of perishing in panic is far greater than the likelihood of stimulating potential."
"A game is different, it's more gentle."
"Moreover, once people realize that everything learned in the game can be taken back to reality, it will inevitably be pursued."
"Although that is driven by self-interest, a sense of crisis causes passive resistance; while a game allows people to participate actively. Mentally, the latter is clearly more clever."
"Of course, more importantly, it gives people a fair chance to compete."
"If opened directly, who knows, some people...no, rather, most people would choose to flee, not everyone has the courage to give up a stable life and turn towards an unknown direction."
"Whereas a game, at least gives the majority of people a choice."
Li Hansha pondered deeply, visualized in his mind, and realized that a direct opening would create a high chance of strong individuals emerging, but the vast majority would end up as mere backdrops, the greenery to set off the blossoming flowers.
On the other hand, an opening in the form of a game.
Although it would still produce strong figures, it would take longer than the former, but it was more friendly to the general public.
Sun Shisheng, shows great compassion!
"Inclusion then?"
Li Hansha seemed to have some realization.
"Chan Yinsha, the task of acquiring a game company is yours," Sun Shisheng instructed.
"Me?" Chan Yinsha complained, "Managing finances is already troublesome enough, I have no experience with acquisitions. Sun, don't you have someone suitable in your biomedical company?"
"They're all researchers; no one understands this business," Sun Shisheng said, "That's only because I'm here, otherwise others would not dare to act viciously, or we would have been wiped clean by other groups."
"It seems we need quite a few talented individuals," Chan Yinsha gestured with her thumb, "in computing, management, advertising..."
"Then I'll leave it to you," Sun Shisheng smiled.
"Hey! Must it be this way?" Chan Yinsha watched as Sun Shisheng walked away, muttering a complaint, but the task had to be done. Only, how should she proceed?
After some thought, Chan Yinsha decided to look among the students of the martial arts school.
Those who had already entered society were mostly shrewd, but compared to college students who had not yet really experienced society, they just had more experience.
Everyone grows from nothing, don't they?
"Zhao Xinglong, I remember you majored in media and communication, right?" Chan Yinsha first approached Zhao Xinglong.
"Yes."
Zhao Xinglong nodded, "I'm currently starting a business with a few fellow students..."
