The Spirit of Workshop sighed, "Being a slave to endless labor is hard enough, I really don't want to also be known as a weirdo's servant."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Ji Jue finally realized.

"You seemed to be enjoying it, I wasn't sure if my reminder would be useful."

"So..."

Ji Jue covered his face and sighed, "Where did you put my clothes!"

"Ah, sorry, I think they went for cleaning." Isis replied without any remorse, "As your diligent servant, it's what I should do."

Ji Jue glared, "What about the rest of them!"

"The rest have been washed too, all washed." Isis said regretfully, "Unluckily, today is laundry day."

"I had no idea there was such a thing as a laundry day!"

"Because I just decided on it, sorry, I didn't have time to notify you."

"..."

Ji Jue didn't want to speak anymore.

He stood silently with his hands on his hips, staring at the starlight rising from the Melting Furnace, until after a long time, Isis couldn't stand it and sighed lightly:

"Alright, there are still a few pieces that haven't been cleaned yet."

Saying this, the mechanical arm operated, handing over two sets of brand-new clothes still carrying the warmth of being dried.

Ji Jue finally freed from the state of streaking, sat in front of the dining table already filled with high-calorie food, and began to eat heartily.

He felt this was probably the most useful episode of that Ancient's Mouth thing.

After completing the catalysis, although he recovered his condition through the Healing Potion, there were still many hidden injuries left in his body that needed time to heal, likewise, the new tissues and the transformed body also needed more nutrition and calorie replenishment.

Besides, after swallowing bitterness, you always need some sweetness to balance it out.

Ji Jue indulged his appetite without restraint, starting a storm of devouring, while checking the messages on his phone. Many trivial matters were brushed over, but he received another notification from the association.

The review for the fluid plastic steel had concluded, the association issued a notice—officially prohibiting the craftsman Ji Jue from selling and distributing them through non-association specified channels. However, given that there were no prior regulations, and the alchemy content involved was not much, they did not order a recall or impose fines, only issued a warning.

This was still within Ji Jue's expectations.

Raising high, placing down gently.

But surprisingly, even gentler than expected, not even a fine was imposed.

Moreover, it was only banned from circulating in regular markets, not from being sold through numerous channels within the Security Bureau, Desert Market, or Tianping Commerce. In other words, it can still be sold large-scale through the Federation, Military Department, or Sea Tide Group, entities that qualify, getting applied on creations including battle vehicles, tanks, or armor.

He was just not allowed to directly sell the creations' results to ordinary people anymore.

A toast of half a glass of wine, the matter was settled.

Meanwhile, there were also a congratulatory letter and another warning letter.

The former was good news.

Word from the Craftsmen Circle has come celebrating with joyful news...

Congratulations, Ji Jue's uploaded achievements sold out.

Again!

The paper he submitted a few months ago "Twin Blade: The Ex-wife and Stepmother, A Fusion and Utilization of Great Group and White Deer's Blessings", received a C-grade review from the panel—for improvements and innovations on existing technology, containing certain highlights—and was approved.

After officially getting on the association's patent library, sales soared, just in the first week of uploading, it climbed to sixth place in the sales ranking within the patent range of recent years!

You know, this was the cumulative sales list of several and consecutive years!

It sold a full seven thousand six hundred copies!

The reason it sold so well, on one hand, was because Ji Jue's pricing was too cheap...only five points of Contribution Value. Anyone who sold a few works through the association's channels could accumulate the extra Contribution Value.

And on the other hand, there was indeed a demand for this thing...existing.

And not a small one!

Question is, in this day and age, who doesn't have a few enemies? And who doesn't want their enemies to die at the hands of an ex-wife and stepmother?

Just thinking about it is quite satisfying!

Moreover, making it is not too difficult, blessings gathered, following Ji Jue's paper step by step, all you need is a pair of hands, it's just that the effect is a bit meh.

Copying it was completely without difficulty.

And rather than buying technology, everybody was buying it for the name—if I didn't buy it, without the back-covering and endorsement of the association, how could my enemy across acknowledge that they are holding in hand his ex-wife and stepmother?

Even after Ji Jue took the lead, other craftsmen also innovated upon the idea, with new designs like godfather, real mom, mistress, filial son and such pouring in like snowflakes.

And then, nothing.

They all crashed into the rectification movement just initiated by Director Gustav, none could get approved, instead facing warnings, including Ji Jue.

He was grabbed as a typical example.

Although the contribution points he earned through sales won't be deducted, to nip the unhealthy trend in the bud within the association and among craftsmen, the ex-wife and stepmother has been banned from being sold.

Before Ji Jue renames this junk, it will absolutely not be back on the shelves!

And following this, came countless private messages, almost all buyers sent in either requests or warnings—Don't change the name!

Don't change it!

If you change the name here, wouldn't it largely reduce the joy of everyone avenging on the other side?!

Some craftsmen even accepted orders, using their own money to stock up materials, if you change the name and people don't buy, what's to be done with that thing called ex-wife and stepmother? Use it themselves!
