Lu Ming looked at the card in his hand and fell into deep thought.
This card is very good. It permanently improves the skin and greatly improves the appearance level of the Sword Card Masters Association, especially the rough guys in the association.
It looks like the temperament is much better.
Even the wolf boy who was ruthless and didn't interact with people often has turned into a little puppy at this moment. Even if he goes to certain places, he can earn more than 10,000 yuan a day.
Um……
very good.
The effect is remarkable.
So……
Here comes the problem.
This card still has a certain lethality!
Originally, when Lu Ming used it as an attack card, its damage was pitifully weak, so Lu Ming complained about it, but if it was used as a skin care card...
This aspect must be considered!
Think of this.
Lu Ming once again pulled out the previous test data.
————
Four-star evil beast/plant, flowering, death.
Five-star evil beast/plant, flowering, death.
Six-star evil beast/plant, blooming, just weak.
————
"Well……"
Lu Ming understood in his heart.
really.
This card is an instant kill against ferocious beasts below six stars!
It's actually very weak.
After all, a dignified six-star extreme card can bully those below six stars, isn't it garbage? If you just find a six-star extreme card, it will have an explosive effect!
but!
Here comes the problem!
As a cosmetic...
Your cosmetics can actually kill people, please feel it, if someone uses this thing to kill people...
Um……
Lu Ming will be sprayed to death.
"A card with a six-star limit cannot be used if it has less than six stars, right?"
Xiao Xiaojian said weakly.
Which six-star card is not better than you?!
"Who cares about this?"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
As long as you are a cosmetic card, everyone will only remember that this card can kill people and is extremely harmful. Who cares what your strength is...
so.
Lu Ming thought for a long time and decided to put it aside.
He’s not short of money, so he shouldn’t need to work so hard for the time being!
only.
In the afternoon, Li Haoran came to the door and successfully solved the problem of "he is not short of money".
"Master!"
“If we don’t sell cards anymore, we won’t be able to carry it anymore.”
Li Haoran is sad.
"???Didn't you stock up some before?"
Lu Ming was confused.
The last time I was cheated...ah no, the money I earned last time should still be there!
“The consumption is a bit high.”
Li Haoran sighed.
The association is too poor.
The operation of Yueying Island requires money.
To nourish Master's body requires money.
The operation of Sanchakou College requires money.
The operation of Yueying Ruins also requires money.
Water, electricity and property bills also cost money.
therefore.
The association's funds are plummeting, and the cash stored previously has bottomed out. Li Haoran has to go out and work part-time to deliver food.
Lu Ming: "..."
So who told you to waste money like a fool!!!
"How long can we hold on?"
Lu Ming sighed.
"If it's tight, it should last half a month."
Li Haoran said in a deep voice.
"Understood."
Lu Ming rubbed his head.
It seems...
Skin care cards can no longer be sold.
only.
When it comes to the issue of lethality, how to sell it and how to sell it is another problem. We must avoid the public opinion disaster area of "cosmetics can kill people"!
then.
Lu Ming specially gave this task to Zhang Yang, who was removing wrinkles.
"Can it be done?"
Lu Ming said in a deep voice.
"Can!"
Zhang Yang said proudly.
Without the wrinkles like growth rings, he now looks at least ten years younger! He is full of energy and seems to have returned to his youth.
"good."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
Industry specializing in surgery.
In terms of public opinion, there should be no problem in leaving it to Zhang Yang. Although there are some minor side effects, Lu Ming can now face it calmly.
after all……
It wasn't him who got beaten.
then.
Lu Ming started testing the skin care card again. xx ferocious beast types correspond to xx effects, xx plant types correspond to xx effects, and so on.
…
And at this time.
Our senior Zhang Yang also started promoting skin care cards.
only.
Is his propaganda direction...
"Public account: Mysterious news! Lu Ming's new card revealed!"
"Six-star extreme card!"
"A battle card with incredible functions!"
"Card name - Burial Flower! A bright flower blooms on the enemy! Death like withering petals! A beautiful and illusory dance of death!"
Then.
The video starts.
The beasts bloom, the flowers fall, and the beasts die.
Simple.
simply.
The short promotion and video instantly set off the Internet.
Almost everyone knows about a certain card that Lu Ming is testing and the beautiful and fantasy killing function it possesses!
Think about it.
Raise your hand.
Flowers bloom and fall, enemies die, what a shocking function?!
then.
The internet is booming.
Lu Ming was shocked, "Is this propaganda direction wrong?"
It's not a good idea to fool the public. No one is stupid these days. This card of yours is really not suitable as a battle card. You will be scolded to death!
"Where is the publicity?"
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "This is called breaking news! Breaking news is inherently true or false..."
"???"
Lu Ming was shocked, "Can it still be like this?"
"That's what everyone does."
Zhang Yang was very calm, "Just watch the show."
then.
He pushed forward again.
The funeral flower card is getting more and more attention...
Even the presidents of major associations in Tiandu City are paying close attention.
"Lu Ming, I heard that you issued a new card?"
——This is the president of the Summoners Association.
"Ahem, Lu Ming, you don't know how to use flower petals as a formation, do you? My son is still in your association!"
——This is the president of the Formation Master Association.
"When will the press conference be held? I will go and support it."
——This is the president of the Energy Warrior Association.
…
The attention on the Internet is getting higher and higher.
Just after the crazy popularity was pushed to the extreme, Zhang Yang came out to 'refute the rumors' in the name of the 'official Sword Card Master Association'.
"No! Stop talking nonsense! There is no such card!"
Zhang Yang decisively refused.
pity.
The familiar three consecutive accusations made people suspicious. At this moment, the public account that mysteriously broke the news accidentally discovered some videos of plants blooming...
The location is at the Sword Card Master Association.
then.
This time everyone knew that Lu Ming was secretly studying the Burial Flower card, and all practitioners were attracted by the mysterious killing ability...
All major associations pay close attention!
at the same time.
In major forums, practitioners have had heated discussions on "whether the Burial Flower Card surpasses the Extraordinary Card"...
When flowers bloom and fall, people die!
If this awesome card is at the limit of six stars, can it hurt seven stars?
And at this time.
Some strange associations also emerged at this time, discussing whether this card was too lethal and would cause mass deaths.
for example--
Social Stability Association: If used on a large scale by the assassin industry, it will easily cause social chaos...
Another example -
Professional Balance Association: Will the emergence of this card destroy a certain profession...
And so on.
The display effect of Lu Ming's card was so shocking that it aroused various feedbacks.
soon.
The mysterious whistleblower appeared again - "Since the Burial Flower card is too powerful, the Sword Card Masters Association is discussing whether to release this card!"
As soon as the news came out, it caused another sensation.
Those who supported the flower burial card and those who opposed the flower burial card began to argue fiercely.
finally.
A mysterious person broke the news - "In order to maintain social stability, the damage of the Burial Flower Card is likely to be reduced by two levels, and it will no longer provide convenience for certain special professions. Haha, another victory for the brainless stable people."
now.
Just when people are doubtful, funeral flower cards are on sale!
————
Level: Six-star limit.
Function: Below six stars.
Function: Instant kill and creatures.
————
"really……"
"Hey, what age is this? There are still idle cards that are too strong!"
"Why are these sand sculpture protection associations still there?"
"that is."
People sigh.
A good card is useless!
Everyone knows that a super powerful Extraordinary card was destroyed like this! For some reason, it cannot be made public at all!
Regarding this card, people now have only one curiosity - what is the use of the flowers that bloom?!
There are always people who are curious.
then.
After the funeral card was released, some people immediately tried it and discovered various magical functions, such as whitening, removing acne, removing wrinkles, removing blackheads, and moisturizing...
etc.
Then……
People are going crazy.
The order volume for funeral flower cards also hit a new high overnight!
Set a new record!
Possibly injuring someone accidentally?
who cares?!
That thing is originally a battle card!
certainly.
In order to emphasize its skin care effect, people affectionately call it - skin care card.
then.
A possible crisis in public opinion is solved in this way!
You see, it seems scary that cosmetics can kill people, right? Then if the battle card has a beauty effect, it sounds amazing!
"..."
What can Lu Ming say?
ox!
As expected of a professional in marketing!
Comrade Lao Zhang's professionalism is still very strong.
Inexplicable.
He remembered a piece of news.
A certain mobile phone was about to be released, and they conducted a survey among the public. The final survey result showed that 40% of people were willing to upgrade to the latest mobile phone.
then.
Two press releases were released - "xx mobile phone sales are booming! 40% of people expressed their willingness to replace new mobile phones!"
And - "xx mobile phone is on sale pre-cooled! 60% of people expressed unwillingness to buy it!"
Take a look.
This is the secret of literature.
As the ancients say, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling around the world. If you learn self-media well, you will be able to trick everyone.
And now.
Lao Zhang deeply understands the essence of self-media.
certainly.
Lu Ming's doubt was, "Are there really these so-called associations?"
"Ahem."
Li Haoran coughed and said, "It was just established."
"..."
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
have to.
It is indeed a complete process.
Product breaking news - hiring trolls - product warm-up - product release - (there may be multiple steps in between such as gaining popularity)...
It is indeed a self-media!
only.
Just when he was about to reward Zhang Yang, he found that Zhang Yang was sitting in a wheelchair, his head was covered with gauze, and he walked out with great difficulty...
Lu Ming:???
What are you doing?!
"骳戢壔!"
Zhang Yang was angry, "??匓??礟嬲!拋??瀀????艧??????!!!"
"..."
Lu Ming:???
"cough."
"My hands were touched while eating outside."
Li Haoran walked over quietly and handed over a note, "This is what someone put on him."
Um?
Lu Ming opened the note and took a look - "Go to the funeral card! I spent all my money to buy stocks of the Assassin organization, you told me that I was harmed?!"
→_→
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
have to.
This time it was for myself...
These words have a feeling of ‘a dog planned to return my knife sister’...
but.
Apparently, he was also influenced by Zhang Yang’s various mysterious revelations...
Tsk.
Just leeks.
"Take good care of Lao Zhang."
Lu Ming comforted.
Lao Zhang can be regarded as dedicating himself to the association this time.
"clear."
Li Haoran said seriously, "We will definitely find the murderer this time!"
then.
Under heavy pressure from the Sword Card Masters Association, and with the support of someone with deep pockets who finally had money, they quickly found the murderer - a young assassin.
"Why did you hit someone?"
"The stock lost money."
"Why are you calling Zhang Yang?"
"My assassin friends nearby told me that the other sword card masters are very fierce. It is easiest to get started by beating him, and they will not be traced... because there are too many people beating him! Mahler, I knew these bastards were lying to me.
!!”
"???"
…
certainly.
Being beaten is just a small thing.
Although Zhang Yang was beaten, the development of the association was smoother.
Under the influence of marketing, the sales of flower burial cards increased sharply. All disciples in the association began to make flower burial cards, and collectively entered a well-off society...
Even Zhou Jie couldn't hold it back.
So far.
The Sword Card Masters Association has a real money-making business!
In one day, they achieved collective poverty alleviation!
In two days, the disciples of the association are all well-off!
In three days, the Sword Card Master Association embarked on the road to wealth!
…
In just a few days, the Sword Card Master Association had a large amount of deposits and funds, and the disciples of the Sword Card Master Association also became small rich men one by one.
pity.
This situation did not last long.
Three days later.
The president of the Water Elementalists Association personally sent a message to express strong protest against Lu Ming's involvement in the skin care industry!
"???"
Lu Ming was confused.
etc.
Water elementalist?
What's the matter with you?!
"Is such that."
Li Haoran sighed, "In this profession, 80% of them are girls, so the part-time jobs and services provided by the association are basically all nursing majors..."
"Water element also has a card sales business?"
Lu Ming was confused.
"Um."
Li Haoran nodded, "The makeup card set jointly produced by the Water Element Association and the Card Creators Association is the best makeup card series on the market, including but not limited to: hydration card, moisturizing card, lubrication card, aromatherapy card,
Oil removal card, skin softening card and other series of cards.”
"They are in conflict with the Card Creators Association."
"Stable income."
"It is also one of the most profitable of all associations."
Li Haoran said in a deep voice.
"Can't we make money together?"
Lu Ming sighed.
Take a look.
The Food Delivery Association also broke up with them at first, but didn’t they end up together? It wasn’t a big deal at first!
"Different."
Li Haoran whispered, "Their makeup series cards can only moisturize for a certain period, such as monthly, weekly, yearly, etc..."
"They also have a large number of membership businesses, including weekly, monthly and annual memberships."
"This ensures a sales cycle."
"And our card..."
"permanent!"
"Although you can only choose one function at a time, because of its unique and permanent nature, almost all the girls come to book our funeral cards!"
"It is said..."
"In the past two days, the Water Element Association has received a large number of refunds, chargebacks, and complaints. The flow of funds almost collapsed, so the president personally stepped forward!"
Li Haoran spread his hands.
Lu Ming: "→_→"
This is all nonsense!
but.
They have nothing to do with the Water Element Association. If you want to criticize, then go ahead and criticize them...
I just pretended I didn't hear it.
only.
What Lu Ming didn't expect was...
soon.
He received another communication from the president of the Earth Element Association. They strongly condemned Lu Ming for meddling in the cosmetics industry and failing to communicate with them.
Lu Ming:???
Earth Elemental Association?!
What do you have to do with cosmetics?!
"cough."
Li Haoran felt helpless after investigating, "It is said that the popular volcanic rock facial cleanser on the market is the raw material they painstakingly dug out near the volcano..."
"..."
Lu Ming sighed.
Fine.
What could he say?
Earth Elemental Association...
Oh, there are too few people in this industry, just like those who studied civil engineering in the previous life...
Minority groups, ignore!
Lu Ming thought so.
However.
He didn't expect that these two associations were just the beginning.
soon.
The Herbal Medicine Association strongly condemns Lu Ming’s behavior because a large number of herbal and essence cosmetics come from their association!
Then.
A bunch of other chemical associations, Summoners Association, Ding Xiu Association, Sword Cultivator Association and dozens of other associations expressed strong condemnation of Lu Ming in turn!
etc.
Lu Ming was confused, "What does the Summoners Association condemn?"
"cough."
"Some of the raw materials come from some of the summoned beasts they breed!"
Li Haoran said truthfully.
"What about the Sword Cultivator Association?"
Lu Ming is very smart.
"Manicure?"
Li Haoran scratched his head, "It's probably the plastic surgery industry... After all, the girls have used the funeral cards to get their hair done, so maybe they don't need the swordsman's superb swordsmanship for plastic surgery."
"..."
Lu Ming was silent.
Then.
He counted the notifications he received this afternoon and was surprised to find that almost all industries were involved in the beauty and skin care industry!
Even if——
A career that is beyond your reach!
Qi repair, hammer repair, soul repair, leg repair, etc.
“I actually thought no one cared about this industry!”
Lu Ming was shocked.
turn out to be……
Girls in any world care about beauty!
only.
In this world, makeup will be easily seen through. No one puts on those thick layers of powder... Lu Ming thought that everyone didn't like makeup!
turn out to be……
Girls use energy and various cards to change their inner being and their essence!
"I actually thought that all girls in this world are naturally beautiful."
Lu Ming sighed.
In short.
He has completely understood the cosmetics industry in this world.
Why condemn him...
the reason is simple.
Because of the huge profits in this business!
The price of any card is astronomical, and Water Elementalist has directly become one of the most profitable associations! This industry has been making money in a very low-key manner.
In their eyes, permanent funeral cards are destroying the industry!
to be honest.
The problem isn't the card, it's the way it's sold.
After all, this world is different from the previous life. Because of the existence of energy, there may not be any way to permanently improve your talent and improve your body.
but……
No one wants to do it.
Even if you are willing, others will not be willing to do it.
Wouldn't it be better for everyone to sell annual passes together?
Wouldn't it be better for everyone to sell memberships together?
Let's set up a system from vip1, vip2, vip3, vip4... all the way to vip13. Wouldn't it be delicious?
Why is your card permanent?!
You are a bitch, you are a bitch, you are a bitch, you are a bitch, you are a bitch, do you know that?!
In fact.
When the Burial Flower Card started to be sold, and when the permanent skin care effect of the Burial Flower Card became popular, it was destined that these associations would go to war with Lu Ming!
especially--
Cosmetics giant, Water Element Association.
70% of their association's revenue comes from cosmetics. Lu Ming's card has cut off their roots!
"Master?"
Li Haoran was a little worried, "How about we stop first?"
"Need not."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, "I want to see what they can do!"
…
And at this moment.
Card Designers Association.
The new president of Tiandu City has a burly body sitting at his desk.
in front of me.
The assistant reported seriously about the recent battle over cosmetics and the impact it had on the revenue of their Card Creators Association...
for a long time.
The new president suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Ms. Ganlin!"
"I figured it out!"
"What Lu Ming said that day seemed to be scolding me for being blind!"
ah?
The assistant's face was dark.
It took you so many days to figure it out? Also, can’t you be more confident and forget about ‘seemingly’???
