Chapter 414 Making Headlines Again
Fall had finally woven its net all across the Pyno continent.
The trees had begun to shed their leaves, and the breeze which used to be hot, stiff and almost non-existent..... was now gently caressing the entire Pyno continent daily.
The squirrels began saving their nuts and other foods for winter..... while the birds all flew south for the winter as well.
In short, the summer had gone, and in came Autumn.
September was here once more.
.
Once again... Baymard was now making headlines within the entire Pyno continent.
By now, even the most remote villages had heard about Baymard.
Everyone was eagerly waiting in anticipation for new products from this empire, especially the women.
Within the empire of Arcadina..... many women had started their journey in using several beauty products from Baymard.
"Oh my heavens!
I just started using this 'Sunglow Body lotion' from Baymard, and now....my skin is so soft just like those noble ladies."
"I know right?!
My face used to be so cracked....by now, after using their 'Kimberly face Cream' for 3 months now, it's so smooth and looks way better than it was before.
Amazing right?"
"Store owner, store owner..... give me the "Radiant body lotion!"
"Me too shop owner!"
"Me too!"
"Not a problem ladies, but we have just 1 more bottle left?"
"_"
"Clearly, I need it more than you all.... look! Do you see how ugly my skin is right now?
Shop owner... I think that it's only fair for you to give it to me.
After all, I'm very ugly as it is."
"Pui!!!
What fairness?
Shop owner, it's obvious that I need it the most.
Look!..... With my saggy pimpled face, how dare she look at me straight into the eye and say that she's the one who was ugly-looking?"
"Hmph!
All of you are just idiots!
Clearly, I'm so hideous that even a newly born baby would faint from the sight of me.
So clearly, I'm the ugly one here.
So give me the bottle shop owner!!"
"_"
The shop owner looked at his many female clients helplessly, while still feeling like he was hearing things.
Since when did women compete to be the ugliest?
Were the products really that good?
.
And while store owners did their best in supplying these products, within several auction homes..... within many homes, even newly made mothers were acting up as well.
"Congratulations mistress.... it's a boy!"
"Thank you Emma.... eh?..... why are you putting the baby in that hard cloth?
If he pooped or peed right now, wouldn't you need to change it every minute?
Where are the Baymardian Pampers?"
"Miss... miss.... they're sold out."
"What do you mean by 'they're sold out?'
How can I let my noble baby still use these hard rags?
Do you want his bum to have rashes?
Go into the streets and buy it off from any peasant with it.
I don't care how much they want it for... but I want that Diaper.
And don't forget to get the baby wipes as well
Now go!"
"Yes miss!"
"_"
One should know that for mothers in this era, while their babies were still in the diaper stage..... it was typical for the babies to have rashes, scabs and other wounds on their butts.
This was because the fabric used for it was pretty stiff and hard.
And even if they used the cloth made for kings, it was still cloth after all.... and wouldn't be able to give any protection to their child's bum.
But with these new Baymardian diapers, it was so thick, soft and gave a great cushion for their baby's buttocks.
And the best thing was that they wouldn't need to change the diapers every minute if the child made a mess of in there.
So how could they not want it?
.
At the same time, many auction homeowners were also in tears from the loss of money that they were making, when it came to their previous best selling products.
"Up next, we have the beauty elixir from the famous alchemist Lupio from the continent of Morgany."
"150 copper coins!"
"215 copper coins!"
"_"
Listening to the bids, the auctioneer couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Previously, alchemist Lupio's products usually went out for over 1 million copper coins (or 100 Gold coins).
But now, it only went out for 150 copper coins?
Even the peasants would be able to afford it at this rate.
.
The reason why the auction home was crying, was because they had already given Lupio's aids over 1 million copper coins, as they thought that it would still be a hot commodity.
But who would've known that the women wouldn't even put this product in their eyes?
To put it simply, since Alchemist Lupio used to send his products here in the past... of course, they understood the worth of his product, and would always pay him half of what he usually got up front... which was typically over 1 million copper coins.
But of course, this time, they had completely miscalculated the worth of these products in this 'Baymardian Era'.
Why would the women spend so much on a bottle of coloured water?
What this elixir was... was just leaves heated with water and mixed with other things within it.
To be honest, the options worked, but they took like 3 to 5 years for someone to notice just a tiny change in them.
But after using and feeling the texture of Baymard's rich creamy bottles.... as well as using their lipstick, lip gloss, and other cosmetics and body care products that get had, how could they still be happy with what this elixir?
After all, Baymard's products worked with months.... and was ridiculously cheap to the point that they almost felt that the people in Baymard must've been really stupid as to let their products out with those prices.
So with the auction of these elixir products now, forget it!
One should know that Baymard's cheapest lotion costs about 30 Copper coins.
And usually, many of the lotion bottles could last for up to 4 to 5 months..... when compared to these elixirs that finished up within a month or so, as they required one to drink them up.
So for these women, they had even given alchemist Lupio enough face by starting the bid at 150 copper coins.
So he should just sit there and be grateful!!
"245 copper coins!"
"270 copper coins!"
"275 copper coins!"
"_"
And while all this helter-skelter was happening out of Baymard, what these people didn't know.... was that they would soon be in for another whirl of surprise, as the main culprit for causing all this commotion, was at it again.
