Witch Special
Chapter 39: Man-Made Hero "Wild Hammer"
The [Baizhi] brand sleeping pillow is like a wild tropical storm, destroying the world's sleeping aid product market like a tornado.
Countless test videos and evaluation reports are falling like snowflakes, and this sleeping pillow from City Z, which is known as "the city where the light of civilization has been extinguished", has also experienced a 180-degree reversal of reputation from "doubt" to "praise".
When it comes to sleep aids, no matter how fancy the design, how advanced the technology, or how precious the materials, the bottom line is effectiveness. As long as it helps people fall asleep and sleep well, it's the best product. And it's precisely this "effectiveness" that Angelica dahurica, with its almost knock-you-out-of-your-slumber quickening effect, eclipses similar products on the market.
While its effectiveness has led to some hilarious memes like "I'll just take a nap" and "Boss, let me explain," it also indirectly confirms the excellent practical effects of Angelica dahurica. Despite its recent launch, Angelica dahurica has already taken over the market, slaying all who stand in its way. Comparable products are facing a relentless retreat. The only thing holding back its relentless expansion is its own factory production capacity.
Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica) has become a hot topic in recent times. Whether it's the general public suffering from insomnia, the general public who have no demand for this type of product, or the keen investors, all have their eyes on this brand and the mysterious owner behind it.
Lin Zhenxi had long suspected that she would be targeted by the capitalist tycoons who had sensed something fishy. After all, as long as there was money to be made, they would rush in, even if it meant shoveling manure. Integrity, ethics, and morality—all were bargaining chips to be thrown out in the face of profit. It was just that this group of people acted so swiftly that she hadn't expected anything more.
While sleep-aid pillows have garnered some public attention, strictly speaking, the market for this industry is limited. Each pillow costs just over 200 yuan. Even if everyone in the world suffered from insomnia and bought a sleep-aid pillow, it would still only generate hundreds of billions of yuan in revenue. Furthermore, this scenario is highly unlikely; only two or three out of a hundred people buying one would be considered ideal. Compared to the vast profits of the energy, food, and entertainment industries, the tiny profits from sleep-aid pillows are likely to be nothing.
Lin Zhenxi had originally expected that only when her business plan progressed to the second phase, namely the memory industry, would those capital giants reach out. Unexpectedly, these greedy business entities refused to miss even the slightest opportunity to make money, and even wanted to seize the small profits from the sleep-aid pillow.
Now, a consortium called "Organization" has sent a formal letter to Lin Zhenxi, demanding the purchase of the technology for her sleep-aid pillow. Although the consortium offered Lin Zhenxi a generous price, their direct request for complete technical data felt like they were holding a knife to her neck, threatening her to hand over what they wanted.
This kind of eating style that completely ignores other people's attitudes is so ugly that it makes people feel disgusted.
Lin Zhenxi only considered the actual effect of use, but did not expect that after others were unable to analyze her technology (magic), they actually came to her door and asked her to hand over the things herself.
Why? I didn't treat you as NPCs. I turned your world upside down the moment I came here. This was already my kindness. Now you actually want to ride on my head. I'm giving you face, right?
Lin Zhenxi admitted that this world did have some powerful individuals who were difficult to deal with, and she had no way to deal with them. But that didn't mean she had no way to deal with this world. The natives of this world had clearly not yet developed the technology to completely escape their planet, so if she could destroy the planet beneath her feet, those powerful individuals, no matter how powerful, would die along with the planet.
Under normal circumstances, extinguishing the vitality of a planet with a clear and powerful planetary will would be nearly impossible. Lin Zhenxi would likely have to communicate with the planetary will for a long time before gaining its consent. However, don't forget that the planetary will of this planet has already been dormant. This planet is practically unattended. If an outsider like Lin Zhenxi broke in and wanted to cause some damage, wouldn't that be very easy?
Lin Zhenxi now holds the key to destroying this world. While destroying this world would likely kill the traveler stranded in it, leaving Lin Zhenxi with no way to return to the main world, the decision on whether this world would be destroyed rests with Lin Zhenxi, not anyone else. Shouldn't the natives of this world show some respect for her?
So, without a second thought, Lin Zhenxi directly rejected the invitation from the consortium called "Organization." She had already mapped out her own development path and had no interest in changing it due to other people's interference.
The other party was quite generous. After being rejected by Lin Zhenxi without any room for maneuver, they didn't even say a harsh word and directly cut off contact, as if they had never appeared. Although Lin Zhenxi knew that this matter was probably not over yet, the decisiveness of this "organization" made Lin Zhenxi look at it with a new perspective.
For a villainous organization to not even say a word of shame, it was either subpar or superb. Lin Zhenxi was actually looking forward to the "organization"'s move. Let her see what this "organization" with a name similar to "company" could come up with.
--------
Although the hammer head had many flaws and it seemed like a huge project to modify it, when Lin Zhenxi actually got started, he found that there wasn't much he needed to do.
According to the original plan, the most labor-intensive part should be preparing a think tank for Hammerhead, so that he wouldn't fall into traps set by others due to lack of intelligence and do things that would damage his "hero" image. As for making Hammerhead agile, a simple enchantment on the battle suit would be enough.
But then Lin Zhenxi chose a more clever approach, bypassing the most difficult part of the transformation. He completely sidelined Hammerhead's brain, forcing him to rely entirely on his instincts in battle. Since his brain wasn't working well anyway, it would be better to just charge in headfirst than to have him think up some flawed scheme. So, Lin Zhenxi painted a pale animal eye on Hammerhead's bald forehead, imbuing him with the sharp instincts of a wild animal through a magical tattoo.
Simply put, this magical tattoo grants the Macehead the "Intuition" attribute. The "Pale Eye" pattern is actually quite effective, significantly improving combat, especially close combat, but it must be tattooed on the top of the head to be effective, which means the cost is baldness, so few people actually use it. However, the Macehead itself has no hair, which is equivalent to a vacant enchantment slot, so there is no concern about this, and it is almost a free improvement.
With the transformation complete, Hammerhead went from a short-legged warrior with only A-rated strength to a berserker with A-rated strength, speed, and intuition. His combat power improved dramatically. Lin Zhenxi then used the Oblivion Spell to erase all of his previous memories, reshaping him into a hot-blooded barbarian, instilling some social common sense in him, and then released him into free roam.
By the way, he was given a new name, "Wild Hammer".
Not long after, the Z City news channel broadcast a piece of good news: Wildhammer became the city's first registered A-rank hero. He would be stationed in Z City permanently, protecting the residents from monsters. During the broadcast of this news, the large man on TV, striking an awkward pose, was none other than the former Hammerhead, now Wildhammer.
City Z actually has quite a few weirdos. To be more precise, every city has its fair share of them. Humans are a breeding ground for weirdos; where there are people, there are weirdos. But perhaps because City Z lacks a future, the weirdos here aren't very presentable. You could even say they're just quirky-looking hooligans. Otherwise, even a young man riding a bicycle recklessly wouldn't be considered a hero in this city. In other cities, that guy would probably have been a nobody.
These ordinary freaks were no match for Hammerhead... no, Wild Hammer, who had been transformed by Lin Zhenxi and whose combat power had increased exponentially. With practically one fist, they could defeat a small pancake. The atmosphere in City Z had actually improved in just a few days. Seeing the practical benefits, the citizens of City Z's favorability towards Wild Hammer, this unassuming giant, soared to an astonishing level.
Small cities have their advantages, especially those without much development or fun. Any new thing gets talked about over and over again, and impressions are formed and solidified unconsciously.
While Lin Zhenxi methodically expanded his business influence and prepared for his next major move, Wild Hammer also elevated his reputation in City Z to a revered level. He was now practically the face of City Z, with even the mayor ready to bestow upon him the title of Honorary Citizen. During the ceremony, Wild Hammer suddenly received a call from the police and, abandoning the mayor, rushed to the rescue. While the mayor was somewhat embarrassed, this incident only heightened Wild Hammer's standing in the hearts of the citizens.
Just when everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, the "organization"'s revenge finally came.
