Nyx faced criticism, and naturally, her fans were upset. However, this time, they didn’t react too angrily. Instead, they were somewhat playful.
[Yeah, yeah, it’s probably not good, but I’m a fan, so I have to support it!]
[Everyone else doesn’t buy, but I’ll buy it!]
[Stop arguing. I’ll buy it!]
[Even if I know it might taste bad, I’ll buy a lot because I’m Lord Nyx’s loyal fan!]
[Let the fans bear the pain. We love it!]
The fans‘ sarcastic comments only stirred up more dissatisfaction among many people.
[It’s like they think I’ll compete with them. Ridiculous.]
[I wasn’t going to buy it anyway, it’s all for you guys.]
[Not interested, I still prefer nutritional supplements. Natural food is always so bland. Nutritional supplements are the most convenient.]
[Anyway, I’m not buying. Just waiting to watch the drama.]
[Haha, I was a bit curious at first, but now I definitely won’t buy it]
[I want to see how much you guys can push the sales.]
Nyx scrolled through StarNet for a while, not at all worried that the old professors wouldn’t be able to get their hands on the product.
Clearly, not many people trusted her. She was more concerned about Seafarion losing money. She couldn’t help but privately message Seafarion, asking if he wanted to reduce some of the promotional investments or the production volume.
Thinking that someone like Seafarion, a workaholic, wouldn’t reply so quickly, Nyx put down the Intelligent Brain after sending the message and went to brush the fur of her males.
After playing for a while, she finally lay back on the bed, opened the Intelligent Brain, and checked the messages.
Seafarion: [No need to worry, the sales will be very good. Please trust me.]
Nyx looked at the time the message was sent–he replied instantly. She was shocked and sat up quickly, inmediately apologizing.
This time, Seafarion replied just as quickly, as if he had been waiting for her.
Seafarion: [It’s okay. Were you just brushing His Highness and the others?]
Nyx felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect Seafarion to guess it and even ask. She sent a little bunny nodding emoji to cover it up.
She thought the matter would end there, but Seafarion suddenly sent another subtle message.
Seafarion: [I really envy them.]

Nyx was stunned.

‘What does this mean?‘ she thought. She hesitated for a long time, unsure how to respond, not daring to be certain if Seafarion was hinting at her or confessing his feelings. It was a bit too sudden.
On the other end of the conversation, Seafarion stared at the screen intently. Seeing that Nyx hadn’t replied, his fishtail flicked in agitation. He adjusted his emotions and quickly sent another message to make up for it.
Seafarion: [The feeling of brushing fur must be very relaxing, but unfortunately, I don’t have a fluffy beast form, just a fishtail full of scales. I’ll probably never get to experience that feeling.]
So he was struggling with his body. Nyx suddenly understood and felt a little ashamed of her previous self–centered thoughts. She quickly comforted Seafarion.
Nyx: [It’s okay, a fishtail is fine. If a small comb doesn’t work, try a small brush. It’ll be just as comfortable. Find a method that suits you, and it’ll be just as good as brushing fur.]
After thinking for a moment, Nyx added: [Doing it yourself is different from having someone else do it. You could try asking someone familiar and trustworthy to help.]
Relaxing activities like brushing fur or massage were best when done by someone else. Doing it to yourself wouldn’t feel as good, but when someone close to you did it, the pleasure was much greater–no professional could compare.
Nyx gave this advice seriously, and it seemed that Seafarion took it to heart.
Seafarion: [Thank you. If I get the chance, I’ll definitely try it out.]
Saying that, Seafarion was very action–oriented. He immediately started looking for people to customize various types of small brushes–soft bristles, hard bristles, long handles, short handles.
Opportunities were for those who were prepared. He wanted everything ready, just waiting for the day Nyx was willing to indulge him. After some probing, Seafarion steered the conversation back to the original topic.
Seafarion: [The promotional investment isn’t too high, so you don’t need to worry about me losing money. As for the production volume, not only should it not be reduced, but in my opinion, we might need to increase it a bit.]
Seafarion: [If you don’t believe me, how about we make a bet?]
To be honest, Nyx wasn’t completely convinced. But when it came to business, Seafarion was the expert, and she felt like she had no choice but to trust him.
Half skeptical, she asked: [What’s the bet?]
Seeing that Nyx had taken the bait, Seafarion’s gaze darkened. Ever since the leopard took the handkerchief Nyx gave him, Seafarion had been feeling uneasy about it.
Seafarion: [How about a handkerchief?]
Seafarion: [If this batch of products sells out, even if you lose, please give me a handkerchief.]
‘Seafarion: [On the other hand, if you win, you can make any request. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to fulfill it.]
Nyx was stunned. She didn’t know her handkerchief was so popular. Making a handkerchief was easy, but this bet was clearly uneven, and very unreasonable.
However, if she really won, she would have the right to make a request to Seafarion, and she could freely control whether to ask for something excessive.

After thinking for a moment, she agreed to Seafarion’s proposal Nyx thought to herself that she might not lose.

Three days later, the fondue base officially went on sale. Nyx glanced at the real–time sales and inventory and became more confident in her belief that she would win.
At this selling speed, it couldn’t possibly sell out, unless production lines were cut off right now to reduce supply.
On StarNet, the sales were slowly climbing.
Ewan was a young male. As soon as the product was released, he immediately added it to his cart.
His pocket money wasn’t much, and it happened to be the end of the month, so he was tight on funds. He couldn’t afford the whole set of all flavors, so he only ordered the standard fondue base.
His father signed for the order, inspecting the exquisite packaging and furrowing his brow. “Ewan, what have you bought this time?”
‘Nyx’s recipe packet? A female actually dared to venture into the food industry? How could it possibly be reliable?‘ he thought.
Thinking that his son might simply be craving some natural food, the father helplessly promised, “If your grades improve next time, I’ll take you out for a big meal. As for this packet, it can’t taste as good as the nutritional supplements. You should stick to those.”
Cooking with this packet would probably be a waste of ingredients.
Seeing that his father was about to throw the packet into the miscellaneous box, Ewan immediately became anxious. “I bought it for my mother. She really likes Lord Nyx, so maybe she’ll be interested.”
“Hmm? You bought it for your mother?” The father’s expression softened upon hearing this and felt a bit gratified that Ewan was trying to please his mother. “You want to cook something for her yourself?”
Ewan nodded, a bit guilty. Actually, he was just craving it himself and in a moment of panic, he decided to bring up his
mother.
Cooking for his mother was fine–at least he could sneak a few bites, and if she liked it, they could have it at home more often.
However, his father shook his head and patted his shoulder. “It’s better not to. You have a good intention, but your mother is very particular about her food. She can’t just eat anything.”
Ewan’s father knew the matron’s taste and temperament well. If the food was too bad, it wouldn’t just fail to please her; it might even make her angry.
Just as they were talking, Ewan’s mother suddenly appeared, stopping in confusion as she looked at them. “What is that?”
That packaging looked so familiar–it seemed like the food packet from Nyx. She quickly walked over and reached out her hand to her partner. “Let me see it.”
