Auntie, don't seduce me... Lorenwei looked at her figure and secretly drooled.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't afford to offend her mother, she might have actually tried to take advantage of the situation.
After listening and trying the lipstick, the headmaster frowned: "This thing can definitely make money, but it's hard to make big money from it. I don't think it's worth the academy's involvement."
"You provide the raw materials, I'll provide the secret recipe, and we'll split the profits 50/50."
The headmaster waved his hand: "80/20. I'll take 80% and you take 20%! This method will be figured out sooner or later, it's not a sustainable solution."
"Sister, you're so heartless."
"73, a fixed price!"
“Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll be the model again to help with the sales, and you can try it out. We’ll split the profits 50/50,” Lorenwei said. “You should prepare a magic rubbing.”
The next day, several large stores in the academy began displaying posters of magic rubbings.
This was unprecedented in the world. Cosmetic advertisements appeared in people's field of vision for the first time.
A beautiful, blue-haired girl gazes at the lipstick with an expression of longing. The accompanying text reads: "Lipstick helps women add a touch of alluring color."
This is the first poster in the series.
But as for the results... she was being too simplistic.
Many people have all sorts of thoughts when they see this magic rubbing poster.
"Wow, that's Lorenwei!"
"How beautiful! Even though it's a magic rubbing, it has captivated my heart."
"Wait a minute, something feels off..."
"Yes, I noticed that too."
Indeed, many people have misunderstood, because this magic rubbing poster can also be interpreted in this way:
A beautiful, blue-haired girl gazed at a tubular object with an expression of intense longing...
These posters have practically become Lorenwei's social artifacts.
Fortunately, it was all stolen shortly after it was posted...
Chapter 086 Lorenwei's Declaration: If that doesn't work, I'll put on a maid outfit and start selling!
The next morning, Lorenve saw Sylph practicing archery outside the mansion.
Sylph's current actions are exactly like those of an amateur.
The female elf was a little confused, unsure how to practice archery. The innate skill elves possessed in archery seemed to have vanished from her grasp.
"Am I still an elf? Or am I really just a magical pet?" Sylph stroked the silver bow blankly, looking at the few arrows that had fallen to her feet and had not been fired, and began to doubt herself.
“You’re not a magical pet!” Lorenwei walked over and smiled as she helped her pick up the arrows from the ground.
"Is it because I'm too weak to gain your approval?" Sylph asked, distressed.
Lorenwei slowly shook her head: "No, this is not a matter of identity."
Sylph stared blankly and said, "But I'm an elf, and I can't shoot arrows..."
It seems I've touched the bow and arrow countless times, more familiar with it than my own body. But why do I have absolutely no skill with it now?
“This isn’t a matter of race,” Lorenwei shook her head. “Why do you insist on considering yourself an elf?”
"Am I not an elf?" Siruf asked, touching her pointed ears in confusion.
“You are Sylph. Why bother whether you are an elf Sylph or a magical pet Sylph?” Lorenwei smiled and helped her put the arrows back into the quiver on her back. “You are the only Sylph in the world. You are yourself. Don’t add any shackles or restrictions.”
“I… Sylph…”
“Let me tell you about Sylph, as I know her. I’m not sure if you’re the heroine Sylph, but I learned from my parents that the heroine Sylph is a one-of-a-kind existence.” Lorenwei said, her hands behind her back, as she slowly paced around Sylph, beginning her story. “The heroine Sylph is very clumsy…”
"Is the female hero stupid?"
“Yeah, she was following the instructions of the Tree of Life, searching for and pursuing the hero, but she didn’t recognize him and even beat him up!” Lorenwei subconsciously touched her forehead. “Just because the hero accidentally bumped into her relieving herself in the shade, he was inexplicably beaten up by her. Actually, when a girl is squatting, a man can’t see anything, right?”
“That seems to make sense…” Sylph tilted her head and thought for a moment, but something still felt off.
Actually, Lorenve didn't tell the whole story: At that time, the hero Mu Zhe was practicing the earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the ground) that he had just learned. As soon as he poked his head out of the ground, he saw Sylph squatting there right in front of him...
"She's still quite naive. The brave man invented something for couples, a tubular object made of sheep intestines, which she used to carry water when crossing the desert... Hahaha!"
"Anything else? Tell me more." Sylph felt her heart beating a little fast.
"She was so silly. She went to a witch's shop in the Holy Capital and spent over a hundred gold coins on a bottle of potion. She ended up with diarrhea all night, and when she went to settle the bill the next day, the shop had moved away!" Lorenwei recounted the incident, almost laughing so hard she was clutching her stomach. "Later we found out she bought breast enhancement potion. But according to her recollection, the witch's breasts weren't much bigger than hers. Isn't that silly? Hahaha~~~"
"..."
"By the way, she's also very ignorant..."
"ignorance?"
“Yes, she’s very ignorant and has no scientific knowledge at all.” Lorenwei tried to calm down her laughter. “Before the final battle at the Demon King’s castle, she made a big bet with the hero, betting on whether the mosquito that bites is male or female. She lost, but she was stubborn and actually sneaked into the hero’s tent in the middle of the night to fulfill her bet and sleep with him for one night.”
"what……"
“The next day, they both woke up with red eyes.” Lorenwei, afraid of ruining her reputation from her previous life, quickly added, “Then the hero was muttered and cursed by her all day long. What she said... cough, my parents never heard it clearly.”
“…” Sylph stood there, stunned, feeling as if she had touched something but couldn’t quite grasp it.
Lorenwei had been watching her expression, but after a long time she didn't get any more information, so she casually said, "Look, even a heroine can be so clumsy, silly, ignorant, and stubborn. Don't mind that you're not good at archery."
"..."
“What does it matter what kind of magical creature or race you are? Just be yourself, the one and only Sylph in the world.” Lorenwei smiled brightly. “Even if you wield a spiked club and transform into a berserker, you are still Sylph.”
"..."
"Silph?"
"Ah, thank you for your guidance. I've figured it out." Sylph smiled. "It doesn't matter if I'm not good at archery. I'll just be myself and be the unique Sylph I am."
"That's good! I'll buy some other weapons to try out when I pass by the shop today." Lorenwei waved her hand and went back into the mansion.
As Siluf watched her walk in, her smile of relief remained, but tears welled up in her eyes without her noticing.
It took her a while to realize what was happening, and she wiped her cheeks in a daze.
Why do I smile, yet tears stream down my face...?
She touched the ruby on her forehead, and the familiar yet unfamiliar voice of the girl echoed in her mind once more:
[...I'll definitely tell him...you're an idiot!]
***************************
Hehe, once the lipstick is released, gold coins will surely roll in. Lorenwei had been determined to win it since the morning.
Selling a tube of lipstick for a hundred silver coins isn't unreasonable, is it? Add a Dior rune, and selling it for a few gold coins wouldn't be a problem. I'm afraid I won't have time to finish making them tonight. Do I have to skip class? That's not something a good student like me would do.
Lorenwei was full of ambition during class.
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong around noon. How come the gossip-loving academy was completely silent? Was no one talking about the new lipstick?
I was restless all afternoon. The school principal didn't even come to share any good news.
The free class was unusually well completed without being interrupted, but Kurara and the other girls had already noticed her unusual behavior.
On the way back to the villa, Kurara asked in a low voice, her gaze drifting towards her crotch: "Lorenve, is your period coming?"
Lorenwei: "..."
“When it’s coming, your stomach will feel heavy, and your back might ache.” Kurara thought she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she comforted her, “Of course, I’ve heard that many people don’t feel anything. Anyway, don’t worry, Sylph brought bread.”
Lorenvi's face darkened: "No."
Kurala thought she was just shy and advised, "Why don't you try using cookies first? I wasn't used to them at first either, but I found them quite nice later."
"No, no, no." Lorenwei realized that she was getting more and more off-topic. Why was she thinking about women's monthly affairs? She quickly said, "I'm worried about the advertising effect and sales of the lipstick."
Sylph asked from the side, "What's wrong? Why are you worried?"
“Such a wonderful thing, and an advertisement featuring me as the model—oh, it should be called Magic Rubbing Posters—how come it hasn’t caused a sensation yet?” Lorenwei pointed to the girls walking by on the street. “Now the girls should be spreading the word that a divine object has appeared in the world, and they should be selling their pots and pans to buy it.”
Meilan chimed in, "It's just a red tube; I'm not going to spend coins to buy it."
Lorenwei snorted, "I priced them at one gold coin each, and I'm afraid the supply will fall short of demand."
Meilan stopped and looked closely at Lorenwei, then reached out and touched her forehead to check her temperature.
Kurara laughed and said, "I agree with Meilan. There's red cream and red paper, why must we be interested in lipstick?"
Lorenwei pouted, unconvinced.
However, soon, the female eunuch informed the mansion of the dismal result of the Lorenwei lipstick's promotional effect and the fact that there were zero sales and zero inquiries that day.
Lorenwei, who has never started a business and has no advertising experience, cannot succeed by simply copying others' entrepreneurial ventures.
"Not even a single person asked about the lipstick? Even the posters were stolen?"
Lorenwei couldn't believe that the female eunuch who came from the headmaster's office would bring such terrible news.
"Why is money so hard to earn!" Lorenwei exclaimed in frustration and confusion. In the old novels, the arrogant and domineering protagonists could make money so easily.
They even put up advertising posters themselves, but it failed to trigger a shopping frenzy, and someone even stole the posters! With this kind of security, this school is doomed!
“If that doesn’t work, there’s another product that’s sure to work!” Lorenwei said confidently.
Sylph asked in surprise, "You have some ideas?"
"The new product I've come up with is a killer weapon for girls!" Lorenwei confidently waved her hand in front of her forehead, causing her blue hair ahoge to jump. "If no one buys it, I'll put on a maid outfit and come sell it!"
Chapter 087 In the middle of the night, Lorenwei tenderly clung to Kurara.
The investment in lipstick research and development failed.
Lorenwei did a quick calculation and found she had lost over 2,100 academy coins.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not heartbroken," Lorenwei consoled herself. "It's a coin from my stepmother, right?" And her stepmother was none other than Bordona…
The key issue is that they can't afford to lose face.
Lorenwei said earnestly, "We'll eat dinner in the cafeteria to save time so we can prepare the new products for tomorrow."
