"That's the 'Primary Body Strengthening Mixture' produced by Canglang Pharmaceutical..."
The young woman picked up a glass bottle containing a light blue, crystal-clear liquid and explained it to Chen Qian.
According to the young woman, this kind of basic body-strengthening potion is most effective when taken for the first time, with an approximate increase in physical strength of about 5% to 8%. It can be taken a second time after three months, after which it becomes ineffective.
Shen Qian silently calculated for a moment, and was then secretly surprised.
Taking himself as an example, the "physical fitness potion" refined by the system achieved an astonishing 18% effect!
That's outrageous.
It's important to know that Canglang Pharmaceutical is a Fortune Global 500 company and a major brand of China Pharmaceutical. It seems that the students in Shenqian Class who have some family wealth all use its medicines.
"How much does this bottle cost?" Shen Qian asked again.
"Young man, are you a high school student? We have a promotion going on recently. This bottle of potion, which originally costs RMB, can now be purchased for only RMB 100 with a student ID!" The young woman smiled sweetly and pointed to the billboard next to her.
Although he knew these kinds of drugs were expensive, the price still left Shen Qian speechless.
His parents worked hard, and after ten years of savings, they only had tens of thousands of yuan left.
He silently memorized the ingredient list on the glass bottle, then put down the medicine and turned to leave.
"Young lady, are you really not going to reconsider?" the young lady urged eagerly. "The Body Tempering Elixir will take effect in two months at most. Even if you're preparing for the martial arts college entrance exam, you'll still have plenty of time!"
"It takes two months for the medicine to take effect?"
Upon hearing this, he walked even faster.
A group of people walked towards us. The man in the lead had a refined air about him, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding the aura of a big shot. The fat man next to him was slightly bent over and was introducing something in a low voice at a very fast pace. I could vaguely hear words like "sales" and "promotions".
Whether it was his imagination or not, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses glanced at him a few more times.
The two groups passed each other, but soon Chen Qian stopped because he heard the saleswoman behind him calling them "General Manager Ding" or "Manager".
With a sudden thought, Shen Qian turned and walked over.
"Hello, sir."
"Is there something you need?"
A flash of surprise crossed Ding Anbai's eyes, followed by amusement. He turned to look at the boy.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Shen Qian felt he had been a bit abrupt, but he still braced himself and said, "May I have your business card?"
Ding Anbai scrutinized Shen Qian for a few moments. He wasn't sure if it was Shen Qian's imagination, but he felt that there was something in the other person's gaze.
Ding Anbai shook his head slightly, but still took out his business card and handed it to Shen Qian. Then he waved his hand and turned around without saying a word to signal the fat manager to continue.
Shen Qian hadn't expected to get the business card of this seemingly important figure in the pharmaceutical industry so easily. Although he was a little puzzled by the other party's strange attitude, he thanked him and turned to leave the pharmacy since he had achieved his goal.
As the boy disappeared, the conversation came to an end. The fat man who had been talking to Ding Anbai couldn't help but ask, "Do you know that boy from earlier?"
Ding Anbai nodded and then shook his head, saying something that left the fat man completely baffled:
"That's even more of a pity."
...
"Ding Anbai, General Manager of the Southwest China Region of Canglang Pharmaceutical".
Shen carefully put away the business card and pondered as he walked home.
Asking for a business card was just a spur-of-the-moment decision; in reality, there were many uncertainties involved.
It has been confirmed before the sinking that the formula for the "physical fitness potion" produced by the system will absolutely crush all existing physical training potions.
The improvement is nearly 20%, and it doesn't take two months; it only takes one night to see results. What's even more terrifying is that the stamina potion can be taken up to three times before breaking through to the martial arts realm and it will still be effective.
Such a drug's efficacy would absolutely shock the world, and could probably save millions of women like Xiao, Ye, and Su who had their engagements broken off...
It is no exaggeration to say that the prescriptions Shen Qian possessed alone could fetch an astronomical sum.
But the problem is, things are definitely not that simple.
Where did the prescription come from? How did he find out about it? How could he ensure that the profits would definitely be his?
Thinking about all this gave Shen Qian a headache.
Although the world's order was rebuilt after the catastrophe, chaos still prevails.
Especially in an era where everyone practices martial arts, the pursuit of absolute civility and politeness is a paradox.
As if to confirm Shen Qian's conjecture, the bracelet in his inner pocket vibrated.
Don't ask why I keep the bracelet in my pocket; the answer is simple: I'm poor and can't afford to lose it.
Shen took out his bracelet, which displayed an emergency broadcast from the police. The broadcast stated that a group of dangerous scavengers had sneaked into the city yesterday, and the police were conducting a full-scale manhunt. Citizens were urged to be vigilant, pay attention to their surroundings, and report any suspicious activity.
Although I had never met a scavenger before, the term "scavenger" was not unfamiliar to me.
In the aftermath of the catastrophe, the living environment outside the city became extremely harsh, with terrifying radiation, extreme weather, volcanoes, earthquakes...
That was the territory of mutated ferocious beasts, a forbidden zone for humans.
But there are still people inside the restricted area.
Most of them were vicious criminals wanted by the law, who had no choice but to flee into the wilderness in search of a slim chance of survival.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for scavengers to sneak into the city, but yesterday the entire city's power system was paralyzed, which gave some scavengers an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Shen Qian didn't feel anything, since these things had nothing to do with him anyway.
...
pain!
It hurts!
The moment Shen Qian opened his eyes, he couldn't help but groan.
