Chapter 119
“Sold out?”
Not just the standard flavor, but all the other flavors were sold out as well, with no stock remaining.
Ewan’s family stared in disbelief, repeatedly confirming the horrible fact before they could finally believe it–They couldn’t buy any more fondue base.
At least for now, until the supplier restocked, they would have to suppress their cravings and reminisce about the delicious meal they had today. As males, they could endure, but the female in the house wouldn’t be able to last long.
Thinking about how much the matron loved fondue, Ewan’s father felt a chill down his spine and quickly went to the supplier’s account to urge them: [Hurry, restock!]
Countless people were already urging the supplier.
[When will the restock happen?]
[Give us a clear answer!]
[Hurry up!]
[I can’t wait longer!]
[What’s going on? Why is the production so low?]
[Yeah, will the next batch be a fight to get?]
[Can’t you give slower people a chance?]
Not only did Nyx’s fans rush to buy, but many people who initially bought out of curiosity were completely won over after/ trying it once. They wanted to buy more but couldn’t find any, so they joined the rest in urging for restocks.
Some even noticed that those who had been the loudest critics before the sale were now also asking for restocks, and fans couldn’t help but laugh at their familiar names.
[Hahahahaha.]
[Weren’t you guys saying you wouldn’t buy? Why are you asking for it now?]
[Said
you wouldn’t compete with us, was that a lie?]
[Stop buying, stop buying, nutrition supplements are more suitable for you.]
[Nutrition supplements are so convenient and efficient, you dont even like fondue, don’t steal it from us.]
The people who were originally waiting to watch a joke ended up becoming the joke themselves. They were embarrassed but didn’t dare to openly admit they had bought it.
Of course, they were going to snatch some. As for the mockery, they just pretended they didn’t see it.
This time, the fans were the clear winners. They managed to buy a lot at the beginning when the stock was plentiful, and stored enough to last them for a while.
The others mostly bought only one or two packs, which were gone in no time, and they could only beg for restocks while green with envy watching the fans show off their spoils.

The true winners were actually the old professors from the Imperial Military Academy’s medical school. Not only did they each get a large supply, but they also received the portion Nyx had promised to set aside for them.
During lunch break, the medical school was filled with the rich sent of fondue, which wafted farther and farther.
The students were so tempted they almost wanted to sneak into the teachers‘ lunch, and staff from other departments couldn’t stand it either. They shamelessly visited, trying to mooch some food.
It was fine for one or two visits, but after several days, the medical school showed no signs of stopping, leaving outsiders shocked and confused.
They thought, ‘How can they eat fondue every day? Is it because Zayne is Nyx’s guardian, and others are just getting in on the benefit?‘
Someone investigated and found out that Nyx had actually given each of the medical school’s professors a batch of fondue base. The news made people very jealous.
But jealousy was useless, and in the end, it was all because of Zayne, the standout of the medical school.
But there were plenty of good–looking males in other schools too, yet none of them was as capable as Zayne.
The mood spread across the entire campus. When Nyx next visited the Imperial Military Academy to see Zayne, she encountered countless handsome guys along the way.
Although she had often run into them before; the frequency was nowhere near this high. It was so frequent that even someone as oblivious as her couldn’t help but find it strange.
Zayne didn’t hesitate to expose their intentions. When Nyx learned that she was being frequently flirted with because so many people were craving fondue, she couldn’t help but laugh. For the sake of food, they were going way too far.
She wanted to send some supplies to the school cafeteria, but she didn’t have much stock left and couldn’t do much about it. Feeling a bit conflicted, Nyx messaged Seafarion privately.
Nyx: [Will there be more stock next time?]
Seafarion: [Of course.]
Seafarion: [Don’t worry, the production line is expanding, and there won’t be any more supply shortages in the future.]
The Sea Race Group was wealthy enough to quickly ramp up production. The shortage this time was just a part of the marketing strategy. Now, the calls for restocks on StarNet were growing louder and louder. Whether the fondue was good or not was no longer in question.
Seafarion: [Looks like I won the bet.]
Nyx received his hint and cleared her throat, replying: [The handkerchief is already being made.]
In fact, she had nearly finished the handkerchief, but she was still debating over the design for the embroidery. Normally, she would embroider a chibi beast form head, but Seafarion didn’t have a complete beast form.
After several drafts, Nyx finally settled on a mermaid figure with a cloak. She tried several different threads for the tail to give it the perfect sheen. After finishing Seafarion’s gift, Nyx began working on another gift for Kai.
The leopard had been very well–behaved and diligent recently, sending her regular check–up reports, and his Loss of Control Index had remained stable.
Nyx planned to keep her promise and give him a new little gift a Guardian Angel Medal carved from warm jade, with a beautiful knot tied above and flowing golden tassels hanging below, giving off a warm glow in the sunlight.

Once she finished these, Nyx stretched and moved her shoulders and neck. She instructed the smart housekeeper to open the window, hoping to get some fresh air.
The weather outside was clear, but the wind was stronger than she expected. As soon as the window was opened, the strong wind blew everything off the desk.
“Close the window! Close the window!” Nyx scrambled to prevent things from being blowti away while calling for the smart housekeeper to close the window.
The handkerchief was so light that it was blown away in an instant. Nyx barely caught it in mid–air, saving it from being blown out the window. As she turned her head, she heard a crisp sound. The perfume spilled.
Many of the items on the table were gifts Nyx had received before. If she remembered correctly, this bottle of perfume was a gift from Xivar, claiming it was a special edition for canine males.
She quickly called the smart housekeeper to clean up the mess while she carefully picked up the Guardian Angel Medal, which had gotten a little perfume on it. Thankfully, it wasn’t too soaked. A little wipe, and it was as good as new.
After purifying the air in the room, the perfume scent quickly disappeared. Nyx leaned in to sniff the Guardian Angel Medal, and it didn’t smell much–just a faint lingering trace.
It smelled somewhat like catnip perfume. Since it came from the same company, it made sense that it was similar.
Nyx didn’t have a clear memory of the exact scent of catnip perfume, nor did she dwell on it.
The canine male special perfume shouldn’t affect Kai, who was in his beast form as a leopard. With such a light scent, it would dissipate in two or three days.
Nyx breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t bother cleaning the table and quickly packed the handkerchief and Guardian Angel Medal into her Space Button to avoid further issues.
After dealing with the gifts, she washed her hands several times and then walked over to Zayne, turning aroun twice to check on him. Seeing that he didn’t react, she finally relaxed. It seemed like there was no lingering scent on her, and the perfume wasn’t that strong.
The Intelligent Brain beeped twice with a message notification. Nyx glanced at it.
