615: 522 615: 522 At the business marketing meeting, Kanako Kojima, the head of the marketing department at Nestor Corporation, attended alongside several female Ninja marketers.

They were all well-cultured, precise, and efficient.

“Concentrated juice and carbonated beverages are already industries of yesteryear,” Kanako pointed out, “We aim to position Nestor Ice Soda as a zero-burden new beverage highlighting innovation and trendiness.”

“So, are we still going to collaborate with the marketing department of Kyoto Infinity?”

“Yes, we will leverage Kyoto Infinity’s channels to publicize and quickly capture all possible traffic entrances accessible to young people,” Kanako announced efficiently, “We’ve already experienced Kyoto Infinity’s marketing prowess with Wei Shiyue, and this time we’ll also entrust them to build momentum for our product.

Plus, Wei Shiyue will also be doing related advertisements.”

“Are we entering offline channels?” another employee inquired.

“No, our distribution capabilities are not yet widespread overseas, we are currently limited to advertising within the corporate cities of the Northern Archipelago.

Kyoto Infinity has a local active daily user base of 140 million, and the user profile is clear: students and corporate people.

They originally had little hope, but the social environment has changed; now, under the influence of our company, social resources have been reallocated and social vitality rekindled.

Their willingness to pay is also rising as their lives improve.”

“According to calculations from the Hundred-eyes Demon,” a corporate person from the marketing department explained, “the ideal pricing strategy is 2.5 Funds per bottle.

Hearty Cola betrayed us all and has raised the price to 3.5.

By entering the market at a price of 2.5, we can make quite the splash.”

“We will initially launch online flagship stores for the beverage on ecommerce platforms like ‘Best Buy,’ ‘Cheap Buy,’ ‘Federro Mc Gee Online Supermarket,’ ‘Phecda Fast Shopping,’ ‘Gran Home Delivery,’ ‘Tristan Shopping,’ etc.,” Kanako began to utilize her expertise, quickly seizing business opportunities, “Sales will start on ecommerce platforms, and once the brand is established, we’ll move to convenience stores, supermarkets, and shopping centers to prevent retail outlets from hiking prices.”

“Oh oh!”

“It’s time for us to show our strength!”

“Nestor Ice Soda is the best!”

“Sales elites, charge!” The employees from the marketing department were very enthusiastic.

As production commenced, Nestor Corporation’s factories began operating, and the technical engineers adjusted machine parameters to ensure product control, while the logistics staff actively transported water sources and Feli Magic Fruit ingredients to ensure the production cycle.

Sourcing spring water from the mountains would have been more economical, but water still had to be taken from the water purification plants.

After natural purification, groundwater in the Northern Archipelago was already potable, but residents had a historical inertia; after affording it, the first thing they did was install water purifiers at home, stick air purifying films on their windows, and then retrofit themselves with radiation purification implants, showing a distrust in the natural environment.

Regardless, Nestor Ice Soda, mixed with features of magic beverages, carbonated drinks, sugar-free beverages, functional drinks, and popular online products, officially entered the market!

With Kyoto Infinity’s community push and advertisement placements, Nestor Ice Soda quickly rose to trending searches overnight, starting to ship out through ecommerce platforms.

Bottles of Nestor Ice Soda were sold as people came flocking to buy them with various mindsets.

The atmosphere was lively, especially nowadays with the giant screen advertisements on the streets and alleys, continuously playing Wei Shiyue’s drink ads.

One could see her holding a bottle of Nestor Ice Soda, slowly bringing it closer, her slender legs moving gently, her movements extremely enchanting.

Without a word, she was still intoxicating.

Nestor Ice Soda, a hot seller!

…

Meanwhile, far away at Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing, Lu Sizhou also took notice of Nestor Corporation’s news.

During the market launch of Nestor Ice Soda, out of curiosity, she immediately ordered a whole case, air-freighted directly to her office.

For someone like Lu Sizhou, this was a manageable feat; a case containing 24 bottles of Nestor Ice Soda swiftly arrived at the building, where it went through inspection by dedicated personnel to ensure the product’s safety for human consumption, before finally being presented to Lu Sizhou.

“It may trigger some non-dangerous illusions, affecting people’s emotions,” the Jade Automaton explained, “Nestor Ice Soda has been confirmed to contain some magical ingredients, but all diluted to a safe range.”

“I do want to see what new tricks Nestor Corporation has up its sleeve this time,” Lu Sizhou said, nodding slowly.

The Jade Automaton picked up a can of uniformly packaged Ice Soda, opened it, and poured it into a glass for Lu Sizhou.

As Lu Sizhou looked at the soda, it was as if Nestor Corporation had infused a full load of gold, the morning sun, and fresh flowers into the 500 milliliters of liquid, emitting a pure fragrance.

Inferior.

Lu Sizhou could imagine how many industrial flavoring agents were included in products like these.

She made a contemptuous assessment and then picked up a glass and took a sip.

The moment the liquid went down her throat, she felt something strange.

She frowned slightly and couldn’t help but take another sip, and another.

Lu Sizhou fell silent for a moment.

She lifted her hand to her smooth chin as her expression changed continuously.

“Miss Lu?” The Jade Automaton couldn’t help but step forward, “Do you need us to…”

“No.” Lu Sizhou raised her hand, her face adorned with a strange smile as she walked toward the restroom.

She stared at herself in the mirror, her hands moving over her shoulders, “Perfect, pristine, flawless.

I know the kind of ‘magic’ they’ve worked into this beverage.

It makes one feel a surge of courage.

The illusion of ruling everything and the sweet memories of childhood swirl before your eyes, making you feel invincible.”

“Nestor Corporation…” the Jade Automaton began to analyze.

“Silence.” With a single command from Lu Sizhou, the entire floor fell into quiet.

After a while, she looked at her reflection, her voice mysterious and cool, “…Truly amazing, a bottle of beverage can make me recall so much.

The first time I gave an order to kill, the first time I directed military action, the first time I eradicated every last one, the first time I settled scores and took revenge.

Wisely deciding who should live and who should die.

I was so…

perfect, that no one else in the world could possibly match me.”

Lu Sizhou breathed slowly, her gaze growing deeper.

Her thoughts were so clear that they transcended boundaries.

…

Days later, after finishing training, Rinne heard about this and desperately wanted to get her hands on a bottle of Nestor Ice Soda to try for herself, but the headquarters had limited supply, and e-commerce platforms were already jam-packed.

They employed a hunger marketing strategy, releasing just 25,000 bottles at a time, which were instantly snapped up.

People were eagerly praising and sharing their magical experiences after drinking Nestor Ice Soda – happiness, joy, full of confidence and bravery.

It seemed everyone had tried it except Rinne, which made her anxious and upset!

An idea struck her, and Rinne dashed back to Shijin Mansion, indeed finding several bottles of Nestor Ice Soda in the fridge, probably prepared for Xu Yang.

Rinne quickly grabbed a bottle to taste what was so exhilarating about this beverage, said to transform the most timid into heroes.

Glug, glug, Rinne drank it down in big gulps.

So sweet!

Hmm…

Hmm…?

Is this it?

She felt nothing.

Rinne shook her head, tossed the bottle aside, and looked down to connect to Xu Yang’s communication channel.

“What’s up?

I’m working.”

“That’s the most boring thing I’ve ever heard,” Rinne said, “Hurry up and get to piling.”
