Chapter 1060: Gullible


    This idea came from long ago.


    In his last life, a few industries were money-making, such as equipment crafting, potion production, battle beast nurturing, and intel.


    Among them included the medicine factory.


    Of course, compared to modern-day medicine production companies, those in the apocalypse were small workshops.


    But if you took the items to market, they could be considered luxury goods, although the pills weren’t a sky-high price.


    How could Ye Zhongming give up on such a hugely profitable business?


    Thus, when Ye Zhongming recruited people, he focused on finding and protecting doctors, pharmacists, and chemical professionals, and he now has a talent pool. Even when he worked with Mu Xinfei, he had requested such talent.


    These people couldn’t help much in the past, so he raised them. Now, it was their time to shine.


    “Although the mutated plant research gave the labs much important information and conclusions, they were all unstable. Whenever a plant evolved once, its stats would totally change.


    Da Ning squatted beside Ye Zhongming seriously.


    It concerned his job, so his nervousness disappeared.


    “We obtained some edible parts from these plants, like their leaves and roots, to help make up for the necessary vitamins.”


    “They were effective, but Sister Hong and some of the others are worried.”


    “Worried?” Ye Zhongming took a packet of cigarettes and passed it to him. He didn’t remember if this person smoked, but he recalled that only a few in the lab didn’t, and he was not one of them.


    “Thank you.” Da Ning rubbed his hands on his shirt, and that shyness returned.


    He took a deep breath and felt the smoke moving through his body. He felt that smoking without fear of illness was the best part of the apocalypse.


    “We are all lifeforms, but we aren’t the same as them.”


    “If we build a medicine lab and then a production factory, the medicine we produce can reduce that to the lowest and increase the effect. Boss Ye, what do you think?”


    Da Ning’s words lit Ye Zhongming’s eyes up. He didn’t expect this fellow to have the same thought as him. Of course, he would agree, but he still asked carefully.


    “Can we satisfy those conditions?”


    “There are some difficulties, but we can solve them as long as you can find a big enough space that is safe for us to experiment. And also get us some equipment, then we can build the structure with the people we have.”


    Seeing Ye Zhongming frown, Da Ning thought that his words were rude and affected his leader, so he asked nervously, “Also if you slightly invest, we would have products that we can produce. It isn’t a bottomless pit.”


    “Product, what product?” Ye Zhongming was shocked. Once the rough structure was produced, they could start producing, but that didn’t sound reliable.


    “Right, we can get materials from the mutated plants like the carrots and cabbages. The vitamin potions would be similar to those on the market before the apocalypse and might be even better.”


    Ye Zhongming stood up and stared at Da Ning, “You can produce vitamin tablets now?”


    “Yes, right, why?”


    Da Ning stood up nervously and looked uneasily at Ye Zhongming. He didn’t know how he angered his boss.


    “Shouldn’t this be the final product?” Ye Zhongming didn’t understand.


    “Final product?” Ye Zhongming was stunned and then understood. So, the boss built the factory just for the vitamin tablets?”


    “Then, boss, your foresight, is it...” He realized it wasn’t good to insult his boss, so he changed his words.


    “Boss Ye, I think it is good to read fewer books, and you won’t make things too complicated. Innocent is good.”


    Ye Zhongming kept silent for a while, and then the leader’s furious roar rang out from the entire mountain.


    “You read fewer books! Your whole family is innocent!”
