I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 490 - 112: Rapid Development (4,100 Words) (Part 2)

Under the pressure of survival, they would carry explosives and various chemical agents, approach mutant creatures alone, and use everything at hand to probe the creatures' secrets.

As for their survival rate, there's no need to say much.

Calling them "human collateral" is not an exaggeration.

Similarly, the mercenaries responsible for combat don't really like this method of gathering information using human lives.

Because if the "Tasters" actually die, they have to pay a considerable amount for compensation.

Although mercenaries are not known for keeping promises, they dare not embezzle the "Tasters'" compensation funds.

After all, executing tasks in the wild is never a one-off deal. If their reputation falls apart, no one would want to become their "Taster."

Now, with the Information Detection Chip, they can save themselves a lot of trouble.

Although this thing's price per piece is as high as 300,000, four times that of Yun You's prototype, it still caused a huge stir upon its launch, with order applications almost overwhelming Aurora.

The internal group research reveals that once on the production line, the cost for one chip is at most about 10,000 Silver Cannon. Even including after-sales service, it doesn't exceed 30,000.

This back-and-forth is a whole ninefold profit, even illegal substance trafficking might not be this lucrative.

So upon getting this news, Yun You, who was in retreat, couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

High-tech indeed makes money!

However, speaking again, such high profits often provoke jealousy from others.

Before the official launch event even began, the Huangxing Group received a pile of anonymous threat letters, and the Nest City Industrial and Commercial Bureau occasionally performed impromptu inspections, claiming to have received reports of the company employing child labor.

What a joke, most companies in Nest City are insatiable demons; what's child labor worth? Which company's foundation doesn't have a few innocent skeletons buried? Trying to find one that doesn't use child labor is as hard as finding a seafood feast in a garbage pile.

And by coincidence, the Huangxing Group is just such an unusual company.

It doesn't employ child labor; it pays wages timely monthly and even buys excessive health insurance for employees, including holidays.

The only ones underage are Aurora and Yuanbao.

But strictly speaking, they are executives of the group, partners with Yun You, so it doesn't count as a violation.

In fact, Aurora had long anticipated that some "competitors" would use such means and had asked Yun You in advance what method to use in response.

And Yun You only said one sentence.

"You can't fear the slanting shadow if you're upright."

Yes, as long as there's no incriminating evidence, no matter how opponents trouble you, it won't have the slightest effect.

And if the opponent chooses to slander, there will surely be evidence left.

At that time, Aurora can lift the restrictions of moral integrity, employing a strategy of retaliation against them.

In the end, those competitors who attempted petty tricks were played by this double-headed bird Divine Chosen, leading to their bankruptcy, imprisonment, and finally even their enterprises were merged by Aurora.

...

On December 7, 2077, the Information Detection Chip Type 01 was officially released. The single-day sales quickly broke through 3 billion, and the momentum didn't slow down, aiming for 5 billion and even 10 billion.

The Huangxing Group hasn't gone public, but its estimated stock price in the primary market has reached 30 yuan per share, able to rival many established tech companies.

Regrettably, even so, it remains an existence with price but no market.

Aurora would never sell the company's equity to others.

With Yuanbao's presence, there's no limit to the potential of Huangxing Group.

Interestingly, after seeing the Information Detection Chip's achievements, Hugo Pharmaceutical, with significant influence in Central City's Midtown District, suddenly announced a strategic partnership with Huangxing Group, possibly merging with the group later.

This matter caused quite a stir in Nest City.

After all, Hugo Pharmaceutical belongs to old pharmaceutical enterprises. Though its profits might not match Huangxing Group's exuberance, it doesn't differ greatly.

The key lies in Hugo Pharmaceutical mastering a considerable market in Lower City, with nearly ten million clients.

If these clients could also become Huangxing Group's, then the latter's scale would expand swiftly to a remarkable extent, becoming the fastest growing tech company in Nest City in recent years.

So as soon as the news came out, those competitors who previously dared to scurry before the group instantly changed attitudes, all requesting Aurora's forgiveness and hoping to cooperate with Huangxing Group.

It must be said, a qualified businessman certainly knows how to adjust with the winds.

For profit and money, they can even sell their relatives; what's a mere face worth?

Yet, Aurora also doesn't reject them, accepting their gifts with a smile and then swallowing their industries in return.

Trying commercial tricks before the Divine Chosen? They're not up to it!

In fact, the matter of the two companies' alliance had been discussed between Yun You and Caliduo Hugo during Yun You's retreat.

Initially, feeling indebted to Tian En, Caliduo had planned to return part of the industry to her.

Later, upon seeing Tian En join Huangxing Group, his mindset intensified, so he approached Yun You for cooperation discussions and even merger intentions.

According to the agreement, after the merger, the unified name would be Huangxing Group, but Caliduo could retain independent decision-making and personnel rights, remaining the full authority of Hugo Pharmaceutical, and even Hugo Pharmaceutical could preserve its original setup.

That was their initial plan.

However, seeing the tremendous success of Huangxing Group's first product, Caliduo pondered for a long time and ultimately abandoned the original conditions, deciding to directly bring Hugo Pharmaceutical into the group as a subsidiary department—Pharmaceutical Division.

He clearly saw the company's potential, knowing that following the initial plan might cause unnecessary losses to the group, wasting integration time.

Caliduo is also a businessman, and as a businessman, what he excels at is betting.

He is betting, betting that Yun You and Aurora will remember his kindness, betting that Huangxing Group might have the slimmest chance to become a giant enterprise.

By then, the Hugo Family could also soar high, becoming even more powerful than a Curator's...and far beyond a Curator's powerful super clan.

And indeed, Yun You and Aurora didn't disappoint him.

December 22, 2077.

Just two weeks after the first product launch, Huangxing Group launched its second product.

Also a chip-based product previously researched by Yuanbao—Sagittarius God Shooter Chip Type 1.

This thing's effect is simpler and more straightforward. By installing it on the cornea, it can realize a sort of "auto-aim" effect when using firearm-type weapons.

It can stimulate brain waves, automatically adjusting the user's gun-raising posture and modifying the bullet's trajectory. Achieving a 99% bullet hit rate, it analyzes the bullet's damage to the enemy and suggests where to shoot next.

Just like those shooting game cheat codes.

At the product launch event, Aurora personally held a pistol, shooting at a moving target 1000 meters away 30 times. As a result...all 30 shots hit the bullseye, with most in one bullet hole.

This result drove the audience of shooters mad on the spot.

And Aurora's subsequent announcement that "all firearms weapons can use this chip to improve hit rate" directly ignited the atmosphere.

Thus, within a few hours, this chip's sales exceeded the previous Information Reconnaissance Chip, effortlessly breaking 10 billion.

The mercenaries who obtained the product on-site eagerly installed the chip on the back of their brains.

Then, they all simultaneously heard a boot advertisement.
