In fact, the costume puppet technology was not invented by the Waiteros Empire itself, but was imported from the Magic City.

In layman's terms, the magic puppet is a bit like the "robot" of the world where Zhou Ming's body is located.

It's the same mechanical device, it can work quickly and accurately, and as long as the energy is sufficient, it can work endlessly, and so on.

However, there are some differences between the puppets and robots.

First of all, since the energy comes from the "Soul Meditation Array", theoretically speaking, as long as the magic power is not exhausted, the magic puppet can work all the time and never get tired.

And after the "meditation array" is engraved, there is no need to supplement other energy sources, which can be called a "perpetual motion machine".

Secondly, the costume puppet is quite intelligent and has a certain ability to think independently, because in each magic puppet, a soul is encapsulated, most of which are human souls, according to how much soul information remains, some magic puppets are equivalent to a three- or four-year-old child, and some are equivalent to a teenager...... Even higher.

Therefore, it can be said that the magic puppet is equivalent to a unique device of "soul parasitism" and "mechanical life", except that the body is different from humans, and the core soul is exactly the same as humans.

Finally, the development of magic puppets has been controversial by public opinion.

Because in general, after death, people want their souls to rest in peace, and they all hope to ascend to heaven under the guidance of God, and enjoy eternal wealth in heaven.

But there are always some people who don't want to go to heaven.

There are also some necromancers who collect the souls of the dead and do not allow them to ascend to heaven (the magic puppet was invented by the necromancer based on the principle of skeleton soldiers, and the source of the technology is not correct).

More people, still out of fantasy of eternal life, out of endless nostalgia for this world, are willing to become puppets in magic costumes, willing to become cold machines.

Of course, it is not excluded that some souls are willing to become puppets because of their unfulfilled wishes, great regrets, or grievances that have not been served.

In short, some people regard the puppet with a "human soul" as a friend, some as a tool, and some as a hoodoo...... The views are quite mixed.

Even so, in the Azeroa plane, the costume puppet industry has developed.

In the Viterus Empire alone, in various magic schools, mage towers, factories, and other institutions, there are at least tens of millions of magic puppets in existence.

Even the magic alarm clocks used by some mage families and aristocratic families have a magic puppet inside, which will remind you to get up on time every day.

So what does Zhou Ming think of the industry of magic puppets, which obviously violates taboos and morals?

Zhou Ming shook his head.

His views are also mixed.

Because the magic puppet has the characteristics of instrumentality, pet, emotion, cuteness and so on.

In addition, there are many bitter and bitter magic puppets, all of which hide a tragic story of torturing the soul, it's good if you don't understand it, once you do, you are likely to be depressed.

Even in the Waitros Empire, there are many legendary stories of "Revenge of the Costume Puppet" and "Love between Man and the Costume Puppet", which provide many good scripts made into movies.

Zhou Ming didn't want to explore so many back stories, anyway, the 186 magic puppets who entered his "Second Pharmacy Production Factory" were basically magic puppets who longed for eternal life, were very nostalgic for this world, and had no bitter hatred.

Moreover, the work efficiency of the magic puppet is indeed high, the learning ability is strong, the operation is accurate, it can accept boring work with a high repetition rate, and it is highly obedient, driven by magic runes (similar to a programming language), and can accept any command from the owner.

Sometimes Zhou Ming even thinks that the magic puppet is easier to use than the high-intelligence robot in the real world, and it is more trustworthy.

In addition, considering that the magic puppets also have "human nature", in order to motivate them, Zhou Ming gave them salaries, provided accessories upgrade services, and took vacations to travel to visit relatives and other benefits.

After hearing about these benefit terms.

The costumes were stunned.

Then there was a burst of cheers.

"I can send my salary to my family!"

"Can we still go home to visit our family?"

"My wooden leg has been broken for hundreds of years, and it should have been replaced a long time ago!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Long live the boss!!"

Hearing these cheers, Zhou Ming's head sweated, aren't these magic puppets another form of human beings?

……

After the second pharmaceutical production plant was officially put into operation.

The first batch of 300,000 bottles of [Tranquilizing Elixir] was sold out immediately as soon as it was launched, because the price was only 280 gold coins per bottle, which was equivalent to a quarter of that of a regular pharmacy, and the quality was good.

300,000 bottles of [Tranquilizing Elixir] were sold out in two days!

Excluding the cost of 50 gold coins per bottle, Zhou Ming and them made a net profit of 69 million gold coins.

Nearly 70 million gold coins.

Some people may think that this number is a bit small, after all, in the mage world where a mage tower costs 500 million, a space ring costs 10 million, and a top-level staff costs tens of millions, 70 million gold coins don't seem to have much purchasing power.

But don't forget, 70 million gold coins, this is only two days of profit.

When the production capacity of the second pharmaceutical production plant comes up, the profit will be even more!

In addition, after a large number of cheap magic potions were introduced to the market, the promotion effect on the power of magic was undoubtedly huge.

Therefore, after learning about the specific situation, the senior management of the Magic Association, which attaches great importance to it, issued the reward after some discussion.

A total of 100,000 contribution points were awarded!

That's 100,000 points!

This amount can be said to be quite staggering.

You must know that according to the reward system of the Magic Association, some tasks with a high reward amount will only reward a few thousand contribution points.

For example, in a kingdom with a population of about 50 million, establish a branch of the Magic Association, and reward 2,000 contribution points.

For example, if you build a magic school with 500 students, you will be rewarded with 3,000 contribution points, and 500 points will be awarded every year.

Another example is to build a spatial teleportation array that connects two large empires, and reward 15,000 contribution points...... This is the only quest with a reward of more than 10,000.

After Zhou Ming's pharmaceutical production plant was established, he was rewarded with 100,000 points.

It can be seen that the high-level leaders of the Magic Association believe that the value and significance of the potion production plant is no less than six teleportation arrays.

Even the entire magical circle of Nirata City was sensational.

Huge sensation.

So then Zhou Ming was not very happy, because in half a month, 136 pharmaceutical production plants had sprung up.

Because the Magic Association has released a new mission: for each potion production plant that produces more than 300,000 magic potions per month, 20,000 contribution points will be awarded.

Countless magicians have gone mad, and countless potion production plants have been established.

Zhou Ming is not worried about competition, these pharmaceutical production factories without any technology, in addition to wasting medicinal materials in vain, more than 99% of the results will be bankruptcy.

But he saw the ambition and determination of the Magic Society.

The ambition of the cabbage to turn into a magic potion.

"280 gold coins for a bottle of [Tranquilizing Elixir], do you still think it's expensive?

Zhou Ming shook his head, the Magic Association's approach was cutting off his financial route and preventing him from getting rich.

However, he also vaguely realized why the Magic Association was in such a hurry?

Because in the past three years (small years), only in terms of the jurisdiction of the Viterus Empire, within a radius of 10 million kilometers, among the 5 million small and medium-sized kingdoms, there are actually more than 10,000 kingdoms, which have become "Bright Holy Kingdom" under the operation of the Holy See of Light.

After laying more than 10,000 bases, the country stabilized a little, and these "bright holy countries" began to expand externally, because the object of their liberation was the poor people, so they were like a bamboo, almost every two or three years, they destroyed a small neighboring country.

If this trend continues, it will not take many years for these "Holy Realms of Light" to swell and spread like cancer cells, and finally spread throughout the human world.

When the time comes, what a terrible sight will it be before the eyes of the Magic Society?

According to Zhou Ming's calculations, the time left for the Magic Association is only twenty or thirty years at most.

Of course, the world left for Zhou Ming seems to be only twenty or thirty years.

From this point of view, Zhou Ming and the Magic Association are tied to the same rope.

So for Zhou Ming, he also has to hurry up.

So, after the 100,000 contribution was distributed.

Of them, 30,000 yuan was distributed by Zhou Ming to his partner Reynold.

According to the agreement, the royal family does not share contribution points.

Therefore, of the remaining 70,000 contribution points, Zhou Ming got 40,000 yuan for himself and gave 30,000 yuan to Teacher Sails (as a partner, Teacher Sails will go to the Magic City with him in the future).

It's only 40,000 contribution points.

The minimum score Zhou Ming needs is 100,000.

There is still a gap of 60,000 in between.

So he had to find a way to get a little more contribution points.

Of course, this did not bother him.

Shortly after the successful opening of the Second Elixir Production Plant, he teamed up with Elder Reynolds to launch an epoch-making magic potion.

This elixir, for those high-level magicians, great magicians, and even legendary mages whose strength has fallen into a bottleneck and has to rely on "Manlo Pollen" for a long time to achieve breakthroughs, has the general meaning of "the arrival of lucky stars".

The name of this potion is called [Polar Ice Super Elixir] (abbreviated as [Polar Ice Elixir]).

Its effect is at least ten times that of [Ultra Elixir], it has an effect on legendary mages and forbidden spell mages, and unlike Manluo pollen, it is extremely addictive and less harmful to people's brains and bodies.

What's more, its active ingredients are synthesized with common chemicals at an astonishingly low cost.

Zhou Ming and the others believed that once the [Extreme Ice Elixir] was introduced to the market, they would not only be able to make a fortune, but they would even be able to get more than 100,000 contribution points from the Magic Association!

And [Polar Ice Elixir] was just the second big move he had prepared.

He has cooperated with the Continental Chamber of Commerce, which has been carried out to the end of the project, and is ready to release the third big move, I believe the effect will be more sensational!

However, in order, he released the [Extreme Ice Elixir] first.
