Dean Charlie responded very quickly this time, saying, "The Dual Flame War exposed that while our Commerce Association has decent hard power, our soft power is still quite poor.

The President mentioned that if your product can pass Kin's review, then you will indeed play a crucial role in enhancing our association's soft power.

It's not entirely because of the 'Fire Creation Plan' cooperation."

Andrew frowned slightly.

He reluctantly accepted the other party's explanation.

But there was always... something that felt off.

The other party continued, "The President said that once he comes out of seclusion, he will personally discuss with you, Mr. Andrew, about the matter of turning the Desolate Beasts back into humans... Before that, Mr. Andrew, you can focus on making products. If you have any requests, just let us know!"

Saying this, Dean Charlie smiled slightly, "We are actually quite looking forward to it: once the products are launched into the market through our commerce association's channels, what kind of feedback and results will they bring."

Andrew thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright."

And so, another incredibly busy two weeks passed.

The first wave of five main products — Nongfu Springs, Snickers, Magic Facial Masks, Eye Drops, Lip Balm — formally debuted, supported and hosted by the commerce association's already mature promotional processes and sales channels.

The commerce association had staged a separate campaign for each of these five products.

Before this, Andrew never thought there would even be such a thing as "product launch events" in this Flame Realm!

Creating products is Andrew's current specialized skill as a Tier Three Water Magic Lord, holding the "Enchanting Finger."

As for sales, Andrew is completely clueless.

He barely managed to make an appearance as the product developer at the launch event.

The detailed product introductions and so on were left to the charming, eloquent, and well-proportioned young ladies in the commerce association who specialize in marketing.

Honestly, the effect of the launch event... was average.

After all, the concepts of facial masks, eye drops, and lip balm were still too novel for the people of this Flame Realm.

People's attitudes were mostly skeptical.

Regarding Nongfu Springs, which could rival Heavenly Mountain Spring and Warm Spring Dew, people were generally observing with caution too.

As for Snickers...

Just the name alone leaves you clueless as to what it is!

The hottest topic after the launch event was instead a slogan contributed by Andrew from the pre-transmigration world: "Get energized!"

"This is really..." Andrew found it quite amusing and didn't know what more to say.

Meanwhile, he felt somewhat anxious.

He wasn't sure if the products' eventual release feedback would meet expectations.

Just like that, when the five products were officially launched into the market through Warm Fire Commerce Association's self-operated stores spread across every town and city of varying sizes, promoting them to the Flame Realm's residents, in not even three days' time, the market feedback from countless product users—

Exploded!!

Foremost were the women of this Flame Realm.

"This... this Magic Facial Mask——!!?" Almost all female users, who originally bought and tried the Magic Facial Mask with a mind to just test it, had a similar reaction, "Oh my God! I... oh my god... ah, my god!!"

To the point of being incoherent!

Andrew ultimately underestimated the extent to which the women of this Flame Realm were dissatisfied with their natural skin condition.

Thus also misjudged their overwhelming joy upon finding that their facial skin, after using the Magic Facial Mask, became visibly smoother, whiter, and more radiant and elastic!

A love for beauty is something everyone has.

The lousy climate of the Flame Realm makes people's skin condition particularly bad, which means this dissatisfaction—also the market demand—is particularly large.

Meanwhile, the masks Andrew made, bearing the prefix "Magic," have effects that are far superior even to the top masks in the pre-transmigration world!

The combination of these two key factors resulted in the Magic Facial Mask sweeping through almost every city, every town, every inhabited corner governed by the Warm Fire Commerce Association at a blisteringly fast pace and manner!

It became the absolute best-seller among the five products and the first to sell out!!

"Phew, thank goodness..." Andrew didn't really care if it was a bestseller, as long as it didn't flop, he'd be relieved enough to have a good sleep! That feeling of anxiety from not knowing if a product will be well-received or not is truly unbearable!

Andrew originally thought that after the Magic Facial Mask, Nongfu Springs should also quickly catch on.

After personally tasting "Tianshan Spring" and "Hot Spring Dew," Andrew confirmed that "Farmer's Spring" was absolutely no less than the other two, naturally boosting his confidence.

But once again, the unpredictability of the market slapped Andrew in the face.

Indeed, Farmer's Spring also became popular, though not as explosively hot as Magic Facial Mask (to some extent because the production of Farmer's Spring couldn't be ramped up yet).

However, second only to the Magic Facial Mask in popularity, was in fact, the Snickers.

And it was in a way Andrew never anticipated—

Andrew originally created the Snickers to help people replenish their physical energy.

Though called Snickers, it merely borrowed the name and was nothing like a snack.

On the contrary, the Magic Potion version of Snickers that Andrew created had a subtle medicinal value that could adjust the body!

What Andrew didn't expect was that the Snickers became an absolute bestseller among male consumers in the Flame Realm, almost comparable to the Magic Facial Mask for women.

For no other reason than that, after consuming it, their physical ability in daily life improved, their physical ability at work improved.

The key was that the stamina after "sleeping" with the lights off at night also improved significantly!

Originally, women who used the Magic Facial Mask saw a significant improvement in their skin condition, not only becoming smoother but more importantly, radiating a healthy beauty—this alone made the eyes of these women's husbands light up, feeling almost as if they were falling in love again.

Adding in the consumption of Snickers...

Well, those who understand, understand, no need for further explanation.

In short, since the official release of Snickers and Magic Facial Mask, the fertility rate under the jurisdiction of the Warm Fire Commerce Association, especially the number of newborns that year, directly multiplied several times!

"This... this...??"

After receiving feedback and user experience reports from various places, Andrew wasn't happy at all, instead, he was so irritated he wanted to pull his hair out, "Snickers are not just products targeted at men; they are effective for women too, everyone! Why does it seem like I'm selling some indecent product?! I... I am really selling proper Magic Potions!"

Compared to the three bestsellers Magic Facial Mask, Snickers, and Farmer's Spring, feedback on eye drops and lip balm was somewhat calmer, but still positive.

What Andrew didn't know was that Peter, the First Crimson Knight of the Commerce Association, was at the frontline and didn't bother with the rear matters much, except for one report to Lady Yi Lian about the frontline situation through the "Heart Net" arranged by the President.

As a result, on the day of trying out the Snickers, Peter was so furious that he found Yao Lao through the "Heart Net," and it felt like his spit could hit Yao Lao's face across the screen, "What the hell is this product? What kind of outrageous and magical new product is this?!

Do you not know how essential this stuff is for my warriors? Why wasn't a batch immediately sent to me? I had to learn about this only because my men paid money out of pocket to get some?!"

Even though the Dual Flame War was nominally over, small-scale skirmishes around the "Dragon's Nest" had never truly ceased.

After the Female Assassin's attack on the Shield of Flowing Fire, frictions between the Magic Guild and the Warm Fire Commerce Association at the boundary line intensified once again, becoming frequent and fierce.

In Peter's view, these Snickers should not be supplied to ordinary people in the rear. It's not that he doesn't care about civilians, but in the current wartime state, those who need physical replenishment the most are the warriors fighting bloodily on the frontline!

Yao Lao, who also had a bad temper, coldly retorted after hearing that, "Done shouting? If you're done, shut up!

Do you think I don't know the significance of Snickers to the frontline situation? You think I'm as muscle-headed as you? Damn it...

Andrew had already prepared a batch of specially designed Snickers for the soldiers! I just personally delivered the goods onto the airship, and it's just to hear you yelling as nonsense?!"

He scolded fiercer than Peter.

In fact, that was Yao Lao's usual state. The temperament to be the teacher of "Violent Angel" Linda, is absolutely not mild! He would occasionally show a smile that looked surprisingly "kind" and "eager to learn" to those familiar with him when dealing with Andrew's creation of Snickers, just like he had seen a ghost.

Although loud and bad-tempered, Yao Lao's words were indeed truthful.

When Andrew was making the products, he did not forget what period this was.

The Dual Flame War had just ended, so the target was naturally not just the civilian market, but also the frontline situation.

Therefore, special adjustments based on Snickers led to the creation of a batch of specifically tailored Snickers for the wounded and wartime personnel.

It was only because Peter was too busy on the frontline and, deep down, he didn't care about Andrew's matters, nor did he think Andrew would achieve anything significant, not even concerned about whether Andrew lived or died after meeting the wife of the President that day.

Upon suddenly hearing the name "Andrew" again, Peter froze slightly, and a surprised, unexpected expression crossed his scarred face, "You... you say this Snickers wasn't made by you, but by that little brat called Andrew?"

"What else?" Yao Lao muttered, looking a bit annoyed, "I have always wanted to learn how to make it, but strangely, I cannot understand the boy's method."

Speaking of which, Yao Lao's face turned serious: "He claims to be from the Retirement Land, but even if the Retirement Land entails territories of humanoid alien races, they still practiced our Commerce Association's Warm Fire Magic.

The fusion of Warm Fire Magic with the bloodlines of these humanoid alien races gave rise to various fascinating superpowers. Fundamentally, it still belongs to a variant, a branch of Warm Fire Magic!

But watching the boy's crafting technique, it feels like the magic he employs is drastically different from Warm Fire Magic, right? Hey, Peter... Peter? Damn it, when did you cut the connection, you, you, you... dare treat the old me this way?!"

Another burst of deafening roaring and angry shouting ensued.

On the other side, Peter at the frontline had already taken off, impatient to receive the "magic airship carrying the specially crafted Snickers for the frontline" mentioned by Yao Lao.
