"Is everything ready?" Gravis asked Orthar.

"Ready," Orthar said. "I have brokered several deals with mining companies for future cooperation. For the next hundred years, we can purchase as many materials as we want from them. Of course, there are some conditions."

Gravis nodded and let Orthar continue.

"When we buy materials, we need to buy at least 20,000 Immortal Stones worth of materials in one go if we want to purchase them at the agreed price. Anything below that, and the price would go up by 10%," Orthar said.

"That's quite a lot," Gravis said, "but if we get a ton of customers, we can probably get that amount quickly. What about advertising?"

"I have given discounts for a couple of schools and teaching offices for their students," Orthar said. "They will get a price cut of 20% of the manufacturing fee for the next 100 years. We might not earn as much, but we will have a steady customer base. As long as they receive one of our products, they will come back."

Gravis nodded again. "What about the opening event?" he asked.

"The flyers have been posted on the most relevant message boards," Orthar said. "By now, many relevant customers should know about the opening event of Gravitas."
