Chapter 60 The Slime Empire will solve everything

"Well, since you insist, I will sell it to you for one million Mora, which is a very fair price," said Dolly.

Harold paid for it immediately. For something like a gun that was in short supply, the price was indeed fair.

After paying the money, Haroldt imitated the hero in the movie, holding the revolver in his hand and cleaning it in a very serious manner, his love for it evident in words.

Dolly was amazed at Harold's enthusiasm for guns. His behavior at this moment reminded her of a child who had received his favorite toy.

If Harold did not have the Eye of God, the gun would indeed be a good self-defense weapon, but Harold has already received the attention of God, and he does not need a gun to protect himself like ordinary people.

Spend a million Moraes on a toy?

My friend, your behavior is very unnatural, Dolly muttered.

"This is for my research," Haroldt managed to suppress the urge to shoot right there, and put the gun into his loose pocket, then emphasized this point again.

In order to keep himself calm and not be disturbed by external factors, he urgently needs this.

It wasn't just because he liked revolvers.

Then, both of them withdrew their attention from the guns and focused again on the hypotheses proposed by Harold.

Together they took out glasses, slime gel, milk and black tea from several boxes.

"Try it with the ice slime condensate first," said Harold.

Slime has different flavors, so the slime gel dropped by different colors of slime also tastes different. Dolly intentionally packaged the different slime gels separately when collecting these goods, so she could quickly take out the corresponding materials according to Haroldt's instructions.

I lit the stove and cooked tea, mixed fresh milk and tea, and added a certain amount of ice slime condensate.

After the roasting was completed, Harold filled two cups of milk tea, inserted two straws, one for himself and one for Dolly: "My friend, come and try it."

Dolly took the milk tea and saw transparent blocks faintly visible in the brown milk tea.

This is slime.

Dolly hesitated, then took a sip from the straw.

The milk tea tastes very good. I didn’t expect that simply mixing milk and black tea would have such a taste.

The taste of ice slime gel is very unique, cool and smooth, and it has a unique flavor when mixed with hot tea. If it is paired with cold drinks in the summer, the taste will definitely be better.

Dolly immediately understood why Harold insisted on adding slime to milk tea. Although no one in Xumi was selling milk tea now, once they started selling this drink and began to make a profit, many businessmen would imitate them.

The method of making milk tea is too simple. If they don’t have any exclusive recipe, it will be easy for others to imitate the same flavor of milk tea. The milk tea shop they opened will completely lose its advantage and they can only increase sales by lowering prices.

Harold also took a sip of the milk tea. The taste was definitely not as good as the milk tea he had drunk in his previous life. The taste of the ice slime was just as he expected, similar to pudding, tasteless pudding.

If it is soaked in sugar water for a while before use, it would be more in line with the public taste. However, sugar is still a luxury item on the continent of Teyvat, and this way of eating is obviously not suitable for middle-class residents.

"It tastes great. Your creative ideas always surprise me." Dolly had finished a cup of milk tea and exhaled a breath of hot air comfortably. "So we are going to hide the ingredients and keep it as our own secret recipe? To be honest, I don't like this kind of behavior. If it is exposed, it will bring me a lot of trouble."

"That's not necessary. We can just tell everyone that we added slime gel to the milk tea," Harold said. "Hush, listen to me first. I know what you are worried about - the formula will be copied and the product will not be competitive? I have already thought of ways to solve these problems.

First, we have to write a story, and then make the slimes become human, you know, I don’t mean use alchemy or magic to make them become human, but...”

Harold took out his notebook, turned to a page, and showed Dolly his sketch: "This is a large rock slime."

Dolly subconsciously said "Ah?"

Although it was just a rough draft, she could tell that the person drawn in Harold's notebook was a young man. He was about twenty years old, handsome, wearing a gorgeous black and gold robe and sitting on a Liyue-style wooden chair with a calm expression.

The moment Dolly saw him, she understood Haroldt's idea. Using anthropomorphic slime to promote slime milk tea?

Others can't learn this. Even if they do, we have already seized the initiative and occupied the largest market resources in advance.

Those imitations made by others, no matter how exquisite they are, are just crude imitations of us. Hehe, we don’t even have to do anything, these fans of anthropomorphic slimes will criticize our business rivals.

Haroldt really has a business mind to be able to consider so many things!

Dolly was pleasantly surprised, but she still complained: "If you hadn't told me, I really couldn't tell that this was a rock slime. My friend, I would be more convinced if you said this was a humanized dragon than a slime."

Because it is copied... ahem, it was borrowed from Zhongli (the character design and color scheme were borrowed, but not copied. After you travel through time, don’t copy the character design of the Emperor to promote your food, that’s wrong).

Cough cough cough... Can what designers do be called copying? It’s called reference, reference.

Take this as a reference.

Harold: "As long as the customers like it."

“The customer is always right!”, Dolly agreed.

“This is just the large rock slime. I have an idea of ​​the other slimes:

The Water Slime is a 1.9-meter-tall, silver-haired adult male, 24 years old, wearing traditional Fontaine aristocratic clothing. He is cold to others and very scheming, but he cares deeply about his sister and the kingdom. His wish is to make the currently weakest Water Slime Empire become the most powerful country on the continent.

Fire Slime is a 1.8-meter-tall red-haired man, 30 years old, who loves horse riding and shooting. He likes to wear a tight leather jacket and a bright red cape to do justice in the middle of the night. He calls himself "Batman". He is casual and hates the cumbersome etiquette of the royal family. He often quarrels with his (dark-skinned) sister who works in the Royal Guard.

Grass Slime is a steady man of 1.75 meters tall, wearing Liyue clothing. He is forty years old, but looks only twenty years old due to proper maintenance. He is always smiling, is good at medicine and business, and has two sisters who are more than twenty years younger than him.

Thunder Slime is an arrogant and unruly man, who is always out of his mind and does whatever he wants. He likes to go incognito in civilian clothes. He is honest, kind and likes to stand up for the weak but he often gets into trouble. His sister often sighs and cleans up the mess for this idiot brother.

Ice Slime is a twelve-year-old indifferent boy. He has had many extraordinary ideas since he was four years old and is regarded as a genius by those around him. When he was ten years old, he suddenly realized that there are limits to being a slime, so he decided not to be a slime anymore and tried to take dark potion to change his race.

His parents discovered his terrible plan, so he injured his parents and betrayed his country, wandering around the Slime Empire like a ghost, trying to find a way to break through the limits of human beings.

When he was deserted by his friends and relatives, there was one person who always believed that he was kind by nature, but was blinded by his obsession with pursuing power. That person was his sister. She promised her parents that she would definitely bring her brother back..."

Having said that, Harold paused and took a sip of milk tea to moisten his throat.

The introduction of Ice Slime is long, integrating the Doctor, Fire O Ninja, All O Hunter, and JOJO. There are too many elements and professional counterparts, so I accidentally said a few more sentences.

Harold finished his tea and turned to see Dolly with an unsatisfied look on her face.

Hmm? You really like this setting?

Harold found it funny, so he continued, "The place where the Slime Prince lives is called the Slime Continent. There are six countries in the Slime Continent, namely the Rock Country, the Fire Country, the Water Country, the Ice Country, the Grass Country, and the Thunder Country. There are six large dairy farms in each of the six countries.

On this day, the Water Slime Prince of the Water Kingdom sent an invitation to the five major countries, inviting princes, princesses and subjects from various countries to participate in the Bull Cart Race. The race section spans the entire Water Slime Empire, with a total length of 6,000 kilometers. The winner of the race can receive a reward of 50 million Slime Coins.

Princes and princesses, ministers, and common people who wanted to win titles through the competition all went to the Water Slime Empire with pleasure. Even the Ice Slime Prince who had fled abroad disguised himself and came to participate in the competition for research funds. However, no one expected that this grand competition was just a conspiracy of the Water Slime Prince—"

Harold's voice suddenly stopped. Dolly, who was listening with great interest, said "Huh?" in confusion and asked curiously, "What happened next? What happened next? What exactly is the conspiracy of the Water Slime Prince?"

"If you want to know what happens next, V me 5000 million Mora," Harold said seriously.

Dolly's eyelids drooped instantly, and she quickly realized that she was not here to listen to Haroldt's stories today.

The setting of the Slime Continent that Harold described was really good. It actually attracted her, a knowledgeable super businessman. Wouldn't it be easy to control other people?

"Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking," Dolly clapped her hands a few times. "The idea of ​​'sister' is really clever. Both men and women will buy into it."

Yeah, especially the Germans.

Harold said in his heart.

There's no point in saying it, Dolly won't understand.

Oh, it’s rare that I have used so many memes at once today.

This is the bad thing about coming to the continent of Teyvat. Sometimes when you get the mood to say something funny, there is no one to respond to you. If I tell the people on Blue Star about the settings I just mentioned, I guarantee they will laugh their heads off.

Harold shook his head inwardly and smiled as usual: "Of course, I wrote this after careful consideration."

It covers a series of popular attributes such as uncle, shota, brother next door, cool male god, sister control, as well as three-no girl, girl next door, happy enemies, etc., which is definitely popular among both men and women.

“Printing pictures of slimes of various colors and slime princes and princesses on milk tea cups is only the first step in establishing the slime continent system. In order to make this system last forever, we need to continuously improve this setting.

The slime series cannot just serve the milk tea industry. We can create a dream linkage between milk tea and other slime desserts.

For example, every time we add a new slime-flavored dish, we will add a new character and release a section of the character's story and the main story. Then many people will be eagerly looking forward to our new dishes.

At the same time, we can also print character battle cards, skill cards, and weapon cards and give them to customers as gifts when enjoying delicious food, so that customers can enjoy the fun of collecting cards while also being able to experience the fighting methods of the Slime Continent in reality.

At the end of each year, our store will give our VIP customers a beautiful card collection book, and we will also have someone play the role of the Slime Prince and Princess in the main store and invite our distinguished customers to dinner."

"Oh my God, my friend, you are such a business genius!" Dolly smiled with her eyes narrowed.

She could already imagine the grand occasion after the Slime Continent system was established, and this was just the beginning. In the future, they could also seek cooperation with some theaters, rehearse related stage plays, and make this brand popular throughout the entire Teyvat continent.

Harold: "If our recipe development goes smoothly, we can add the Kingdom of Liar Flower and the Kingdom of Fungus Beast to the Slime Continent in the future, start side stories, and expand the species richness of the continent.

Therefore, the characters of the Flower Kingdom and the Fungus Kingdom must have something in common. For example, the costumes of the Flower Kingdom characters must all have flower elements, and the Fungus Kingdom characters must have mushroom elements.

"You are really good at this. If you were not a scholar of the school of vitalism and there was no such precedent in the continent of Teyvat, I would have suspected that you had done these things before!" Dolly sighed. Even she could not consider so many details at once.

I did, it was a side job in my previous life, when I had free time I would take on some game character design work to earn some extra money. I also learned a lot about original painting design.

It's not shabby to earn money.

Harold smiled but said nothing.

"Since you are so good at it and can draw, how about letting you design the characters?" Dolly picked up the notebook Harold gave her and started reading it.

Harold drew a three-view draft, a Q-character and an illustration draft. She thought the character drawn by Harold was very good-looking, much more handsome than the Q-version Hillbilly and Q-version Slime drawn by the designer she found.

The characters were all designed by Harold, so of course the pictures should be drawn by him to best restore the characters' temperaments. She also wanted to see what the other slime princes mentioned by Harold looked like.

Harold: ...

I think you want to tire me to death.

There are six countries and thirteen characters appearing so far. Just drawing three views would tire me out.

Harold flatly refused: "I don't have the time and energy. You know, my friend, I need to spend all my time on research."

"One million Moras for one character is not enough?", Dolly asked.

Harold: The money man!
