Chapter 21: Even the capitalists will cry

The cemetery was very quiet at night. Apart from the chirping of insects and the sound of wind, there was no other sound.

After Richard arrived here, he quickly found the target. He gently waved his staff, and the sealing stone of the cemetery flew up, revealing the coffin underneath. The coffin opened, and a foul smell spread out.

Gray undead energy flashed, and the corpse in the coffin began to slowly stand up. The skeleton did not have much consciousness, and Richard gently waved his hand to put the skeleton into the undead space, and then restored everything to its original state.

Next, Richard started to head to the next cemetery. He kept running through all the cemeteries. There were already ten skeletons in his undead space.

After returning to the manor villa, Richard used negative energy to strengthen these skeletons.

The skeletons that had just been resurrected were very fragile. They moved slowly and had osteoporosis. An adult could easily deal with them and even smash them with a wooden stick.

Richard infused these skeletons with negative energy, and the originally pale skeletons turned gray and black, and their bones became noticeably stronger. The undead fire in their skulls also grew larger, and they advanced from being just skeleton soldiers to skeleton soldiers.

Next, Richard instilled some knowledge about planting, cultivating, and maintaining magical plants into these skeletons. These skeletons had worked as gardeners for decades in their lifetime, so they accepted the knowledge about planting, cultivating, and maintaining magical plants very easily.

However, due to the problem of their soul fire, each skeleton can only accept the planting and cultivation techniques of two kinds of magic plants. Richard needs to instill different knowledge into these skeletons respectively.

Thirty acres of the botanical garden is large, but also small. It is still enough to plant more than twenty kinds of magical plants. Richard needs to transform the botanical garden according to the preferences and growth environment of the magical plants.

After some reinforcement and knowledge instillation, the ten skeletons in front of them also mastered the ability to respond.

"The system scans the properties of these skeletons."

A flash of inspiration passed by, and the attributes of the skeletons appeared before Richard's eyes.

[Skeleton Soldier]: Level 5, Stage

Strength: 7, Agility: 8, Constitution: 6, Intelligence: 4, Charisma: 1, Wisdom: 1.

Skills: Chopping, Piercing, Planting, Expertise: Undead (not affected by negative spells such as hypnosis, poison, curse, etc.), Undead (no life limit unless killed or the soul fire is extinguished), Planting Mastery (can plant and care for a few kinds of magical plants).

Equipment: Gardener's Bone Hoe (This is a special tool that only skeletons with more than 1 years of gardener skills can evolve into), Planting Skill +
Seeing the attributes of the skeleton soldiers, Richard nodded with satisfaction, he was indeed the chosen gardener.

"Congratulations, you have been reborn. I have brought you back from the eternal dead land. I need you to work for me. The job is simple, which is to take care of those demonized plants. You have all been gardeners for forty years. I believe you can take good care of these plants."

"If you perform well and the production of demonized plants increases, I will give you more undead energy to help you advance. Now work hard at planting."

Although the skeletons' IQ is not high, Richard still gave them some hope, bah, encouragement.

With ten gardeners, Richard began to assign tasks to the skeletons, dividing the botanical garden into ten areas, assigning a gardener skeleton to each area and letting them plant magic plants there.

Thirty acres of magical plants can support him in conducting many experiments.

With the magic plants, he could put many things on the agenda, such as making money. Arcanists still have many ways to make money, such as the most basic, selling magic potions and magic equipment.

Arcanists have always been the top arms dealers in the world of Motera. The potions and weapons they sell are sold throughout the entire plane, and they have even formed plane caravans to trade with other worlds.

Richard is now ready to make money in this world. After some investigation, he found that there are many industries in the Lighthouse Country that are suitable for him to make money. Among them, the most profitable are the arms industry, health products and cosmetics industry.

These industries generate hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars of wealth every year. Such a large market is certainly not something that can be controlled by one or two companies.

The arms industry not only requires a background, but also strong connections and lobbying the government. Without connections, he couldn't even apply for a production license. The difficulty was too high, and Richard basically had no chance of getting orders, so he was going to enter the field of health products and cosmetics.

The health care product industry is a mixed bag. It can be said that the actual effects of 99 percent of health care products are placebos. They claim to delay aging, enhance immunity, prevent cancer, etc. These are just advertisements.

As for cosmetics, various statistics show that the consumption capacity of human beings is from the largest to the smallest: women, children, pets and finally men. And what is the easiest money to make from women? The answer is cosmetics.

Of course, whether it is health care products or cosmetics, the competitive pressure is far greater than that of other industries. Because the product gap between these two industries is very small, they basically rely more on advertising and celebrity endorsements.

Moreover, the companies in these two industries are not as powerful as the arms dealers, and there will be no arms dealers and the military working together to hack. The product that Richard is about to launch can completely beat these two industries.

For arcanists, there are too many ways to stay young and delay aging. What's more, there are a group of witches who have developed a lot of ways to stay young, or even stay young forever.

Richard had also studied these subjects and received a lot of attention from witches. For a while, he was the most popular archmage among witches. His superb stick skills were widely praised by witches.

The things used by the witches are naturally very effective, but Richard does not intend to produce them. After all, the effects are too good and the cost is high, so he plans to weaken them and dilute them to make a beggar's version.

The potions that the witches used in the past could last for hundreds of years or even longer. This time, Richard was going to produce one that could maintain its effects for three days, and would split the effects of one potion into more than a dozen.

The Blue Star Cosmetics Company has already demonstrated to him that moisturizing, whitening, freckle removal, anti-aging and skin repair products are all in a separate category. One product can be easily divided into more than a dozen types, and then divided into supreme edition, VIP edition, hardcover edition, youth edition, Valentine's Day special edition, ordinary edition, etc., adding up to hundreds of categories.

You can even combine them into various sets, there is always one that suits you.

Richard believed that even this poor version of the effect was enough to sweep the cosmetics industry.
