Chapter 51 - 51. Production Of 'Sparklie' Toothpaste

*Ding* Duplication Success. 9999 nos of porcelain jewel box attained. Progress +10,000%. Level up 785/100000. Allocation points +1000 for a total of unallocated 2400 points. Congratulations, you had become Advanced Crafter 51/1000.

I awoke and saw that I had 2400 points and I just leave it as it is for the moment. I wonder what happens if I threw 500 points into my DEX which will make the dodge and stealth to increase 150%. Would I be doing bullet time whenever I dodge blows or bolts? Or would I be forever in stealth mode and kill everyone off even if I'm standing in front of them? Hahahaha... This is going to be OP indeed.

Patricia and I were at Beauty World when the children reported work by themselves and arrived 10 minutes before the actual working hours. I had earlier prepared lunch and dinner with the mid-morning as well as the mid-afternoon snacks as well.

I noticed that the children were wearing their new clothes and all of them had forgotten to remove the price tags that were dangling at the side of their new wardrobe. I reached out and pulled it out after I used scissors to cut it off instead of ripping it off.

Patricia and I then proceed to tend to the garden at Beauty World and had begun to cut off the branches of the hibiscus plant and were drying them. The leaves and flowers were separated and dried out in the sun as they had medicinal values in them. Now what was left on the ground was a small part of the shrub as we harvested as many twigs and branches the size of our little pinkies and were laid to be dried as well.

When the children came, they helped to pluck the tea leaves and it left the tea tree bald like the other plants that were done before. These tea trees were part of the green tea family so it the database was already inside me and there's no ding here and there to indicate anything from the notifications.

Once we had collected the tea leaves from the 4 plants that were planted the night before, I brought it inside the room and showed the children and Patricia on how to fill the contents.

I produced several wooden crates that were filled with 250 porcelain jewel case each that would be turned into toothpaste containers instead. The children saw the fine pieces and asked me what would the ideal price to sell and I simply replied, "35 credits each. In this case, there would be 5 flavours and it could be bundled together and sold as 150 credits or sold desperately at 35 credits."

"It would come with a nice wicker basket, laid with some dry straws and then tied with a big bow ribbon either at the handle or from the sides. It would make a great gift for the working ladies who entertain those men."

"Have you seen the teeth of the working lady that spoke to Daddy last night? She's the one that chats with Daddy when Mister Angus from the Council Chambers was there to hand the key of the store to me." I explained and its within earshot of Patricia who looked at me with a smile after she sighed inwardly.

Nnggeekk...she gave me the cold shoulder yesterday and without a chance for me to explain anything to her. She slept in her own room after we got back and never spoke to me since even when we were preparing the meals for the day.

As I was explaining things to Patricia and the children, a familiar head peeked in and Prius made a loud greeting as he made an entrance. "Hey old friend, been busy teaching new things with all these gadgets and what's this? A new product?" Prius said as he saw the whole table filled with the equipment to start a meth lab... Oops, I mean a production line.

"Yes, Prius. How have you been? You had been gone like 5 days and we kind of missed you." I said ad I sauntered over and placed a hand in his shoulder. What would you expect me to do? Hug and kiss him?

"Uncle Prius, Daddy showed us our new shop in the central business district. It is going to open once we have made this new product which Daddy has named it as 'Sparklie' Toothpaste. It comes with a free hibiscus twig that can be used as a toothbrush but it's not called a brush since there are no bristles on it but just a tooth stump after biting down on it?" said Kayla who was the most talkative than the rest of them.

"Hahahahaha. You really had travelled the distance, my friend. Indeed, when you set your sights on something, you would definitely achieve something. So how were your sales so far?" Prius asked as he saw stacks of wooden cartons at the back of the production hall.

"Daddy has only sold 5 bottles of shampoo last month and had not made any sales so far," replied Ingles innocently and Prius was shocked to hear that. "Weeehhh...it can't be, right? Just 5 bottles last month? How could that be possible?" Prius asked as he scratched his head that had not been washed for 5 days and he was itching to spend time in the bathroom today to get rid of the grime and dirt.

"Worry not, the business would come once the store opens this week. The ladies had been informed and you could also be our marketing guy, how's that?" I suggested to Prius but was countered by him.

"I guess I need to have your hand in this matter. The Ruler of Aermagh is old and is 64 years old. I received a letter from the messenger and had to take off immediately. He was glad that the White Hand had been defeated and he tasked me with another quest."

"The quest is to get a drop of water from the Fountain of Youth in the Troll Caves, just north of here. When you see hordes of wild boar, that's where the Cave entrance is. The trolls keep these wild boar as game and pets so once the wild boars are cleared, you may enter the Troll caves."

"The Ruler of Aermagh had sent a few scouts and warriors from their Legion but none came back alive. These Trolls are 2 times taller than us and towers above any tallest human."

"The caves have many passageways, some were interlinked while some would come to a dead end. There would be many treasure chests and all the Ruler of Aermagh wanted was a drop of water from the Fountain of Youth. He said a single drop would push him forward 40 years, which means he would be 25 years old again."

"Alright, give me details over dinner after the children had left since we three would be attending to this case. Then I saw a piece of an amulet that was dangling over Prius' neck and I asked to see it more closely.

"This is a family heirloom, it's a simple bronze amulet with no stones or precious metal in them. You may have it if you like." Prius said but I replied to him that it would be returned to him during lunchtime. He agreed and went out and heads to the Great Hall and had his late breakfast of garlic fried rice with salted eggs and cauliflower which I had prepared beforehand.

*Ding* Congratulation on Discovering Bronze Amulet of Strength. STR +3

"Trish, I would be in my room for a short while and be right back," I said as I turned around and heads to my room and locked the door after me. I meditated and went to the Realm of Mind and to the Essense Extraction Area where I place the tea leaves that had been gathered by the children earlier.

I visualised another distiller and placed the tea leaves in the same procedure as the rest and started the distillation process for 9 hours. I then stepped back and swiped to the Fusion Chamber where I opened up the door of the Fusion Chamber and removed the porcelain jewel case and replaced it with the Amulet Of Strength inside the slot.

I chose 1 on the counter and closed the door and cranked the lever. A short while later I received an announcement as it was a successful duplication. I removed the original Amulet Of Strength and replaces it with the duplicated one and I changed the counter to 9999 and I started to make 10,000 of those.

The reasons are simple. Firstly, I need to gain an extra 1k experience Points. Secondly, I would level up on my crafting and my base level to another 100 points. Thirdly, I could sell these off at NoOne's camp for whatever price he offered me and this would accumulate my wealth.

I placed the original Amulet Of Strength in my pants pocket and I had found a way to make money even faster without grinding. I visualised another Fusion Chamber, exactly the same one as I had and I made a duplicate on the original Amulet Of Strength and it came out as another success.

Since we have one, why don't we make twice the amount and gain as much within the same time? I then repeated the process for the first machine and ran it 9999 times and the original Amulet of Strength was kept back in my pants pocket.

I measured out 600 ml for the citrus, green apple and strawberry since peppermint is underway and green tea is under process. I logged off hugging those 3 jugs and emerged back at the real world.

"Trish, do you have the notes taken for the production of this 'Sparklie' toothpaste right? Here are 3 jugs that would be made on the next consecutive days. They are citrus, green apple and strawberry." I explained as I gave the instructions and checked with the notes taken for the right measurement.

Patricia still had some more credits with her to make the necessary purchases of coconut oil and baking soda so in this few days, 10 barrels and a 25kg sack of baking soda will be delivered accordingly.

"I'd be back soon. I'm going to meet Prius and return the family heirloom to him." I said as I held the original Amulet of Strength in my hands and I walked out of Beauty World. The children were anxious since their Daddy is going to fight some unknown monsters and would be returning in about 3 days.

....

"Here you go, buddy... Your family heirloom. Thanks for letting me take a look at it." I said as I handed the Amulet of Strength back to him and he immediately replaces it back in his neck like as if I wanted to take it away from him.

Little did he knew that his amulet would be duplicated 20,000 times and would be sold to NoOne at the Northern forest. Hah Hah Hah...
