Charlotte remained silent for a while before nodding finally.
"Alright, starting tomorrow, we will price insulin at 100 copper coins per injection."
Reducing the price from 1000 copper coins to 100 copper coins was quite a significant cut. However, Charlotte respected Vivian's decision and agreed to the pricing.
Of course, there was another important reason.
The pharmacy business at the dical center was thriving, with the first-aid kits and the Golden Stamina Elixirs selling well. This made Charlotte less eager to pursue profit growth with insulin.
As Vivian had ntioned, the cost price of a single insulin dose was less than 5 copper coins, which already included the cost of the vial.
Diabetic patients needed to use insulin daily, and if this drug could be promoted to more diabetic patients, the daily consumption would be a substantial number, bringing considerable profits.
"Boss, you're amazing!"
Vivian almost leaped into Charlotte's arms, her small face filled with excitent and disbelief.
When she decided to propose her idea to Charlotte, she was prepared to endure his ridicule and rejection, knowing how profit-oriented he was.
But she never expected him to agree!
"Alright, let's start purifying the insulin quickly. With the price reduction tomorrow, they will surely buy more," Charlotte said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Vivian nodded eagerly and swiftly imrsed herself in the purification process of insulin.
Charlotte was responsible for grinding the frozen cow pancreas and dissolving it into pancreatic pulp with acidic ethanol, while Vivian completed the final purification step.
Three tons of cow pancreas could extract insulin for thousands of people.
The glass vials for the custom-made injections had already arrived. The prepared insulin was filled into small bottles, which were divided into three sizes to accommodate different body types.
They had a simple noodle dinner, and Charlotte assisted Vivian in extracting insulin with all his strength. Kasha was in charge of bottling and labeling the insulin.
By the ti they finished their busy work, it was already late at night.
"Finally, it's over," Vivian yawned.
"1240 bottles. It'll be enough for many patients for a long ti," Kasha said with a smile. The boxes of dication had already piled up into a small mountain.
The three of them exchanged smiles and saw a sense of accomplishnt in each other's eyes.
For diabetic patients, each vial of dication was a life-saving treasure.
"You both go and rest. I'll continue refining the dication for a while. You've worked hard," Charlotte told them, urging the two to go to sleep while he imrsed himself in the process of refining dications.
By the ti Charlotte finished refining all the dications to be sold the next day, it was already the middle of the night.
Stretching lazily, he headed upstairs to wash up, leaving behind the sll of dicine. This intense work routine had beco his daily life.
Without the powerful physique bestowed upon him by the Advanced Knight rank and the miraculous recovery bestowed by the mighty potions, he would have long collapsed.
He gulped down five bottles of mighty potions as usual, rinsed away the sweat and odor from his body with cold water, changed into comfortable ho clothes, and sat at his desk. He took a book from the bookshelf and started reading "Red Moon Decrypt."
Apart from the daily operation of the dical center, he had also begun researching about the Red Moon during this period.
He joined the Red Moon organization under the pretext of studying the influence of the Red Moon on the monsters. It had been almost a month, yet he hadn't produced any research results, which made him sowhat embarrassed.
In a few days, the next Red Moon night would arrive.
He had almost failed to survive the last Red Moon night. This ti, besides planning to capture one or two crazed monsters for research, he also had to help Kasha refine the dication that allowed breathing on land.
Leo had given him the prescription, but he hadn't tried refining it yet because it required the blood of a monster driven to madness by the Red Moon, and that depended on timing.
As for the study of the Red Moon's impact on monsters, it involved anatomical knowledge.
If possible, he would prefer to dissect a hare-like monster or a frog-like monster. He had more experience dissecting these two types of creatures.
Moreover, before the true Red Moon night arrived, he wanted to personally visit the wilderness, even if it was just wandering around the outskirts.
Only in battle could he maximize his strength. The mysterious space could only be broken through once each ti, and it was not enough to hone his swordsmanship and body movent to the highest level every ti.
As for the Abyss, with the increasing strength of the Abyss Guard during their nightti patrols, it had beco very difficult for him to find suitable opponents on the streets.
His inner hunting nature had begun to stir.
The dical center had been extrely busy during this period, forcing him to postpone this plan. But once the pharmaceutical workshop stabilized, he definitely needed to go to the wilderness.
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts, Charlotte continued reading.
The book explained how the Red Moon influenced monsters and why a beast tide erupted during the Red Moon night. The discussion about this question had been ongoing for thousands of years since the appearance of the Red Moon, and there were many books of this genre.
If he could find the chanism of this influence, perhaps he could attempt to block the Red Moon's impact, thereby reducing the number of crazed monsters affected by it and even halting the rampant monster tides.
Recently, Charlotte had read a lot of books of this genre, but most of them were too mystical and had little reference value. He was more inclined towards anatomical research, comparing the changes in monsters before and after becoming monsters.
This might help him discover the chanism of the Red Moon's influence to so extent.
According to the Justicar, his parents, Nolan and Lin, had been conducting research in this field over twenty years ago, but an accident had interrupted their research.
What he needed to do was to restart this research.
There probably wasn't anyone in this world more suited to do it than him.
He continued reading until dawn, then got up to wash and changed into his work robe.
Glancing at his system panel, he saw:
