Volume 2: Politicians' Farce Chapter 5: Condoms Selling Like Hotcakes

  Five, condoms are selling well

  Today's first update

  It wasn't until the next day at noon that Phil struggled to get out of bed, and as soon as he tried to stand up, his legs went soft and he fell back onto the bed. Rubbing his aching head, he looked around the empty room and was disappointed to find that Lenny had already left.

  "The priestess who serves the strategic goddess is indeed physically impressive!" Fili muttered to herself, glancing at the empty little bed, which still bore the marks of their wild and crazy night before. What a wonderful night it was!

  Fili shook his head, trying to recall the details of last night, but unfortunately, his throbbing headache severely hindered this effort. He vaguely remembered that they had gone to several bars one after another, and after using up their last bill and getting drunk, they had stumbled back to the Garrison Commander's office, supporting each other. It was unclear who took the initiative, but it didn't matter now. Anyway, the lonely man and woman were like dry wood and raging fire, and what happened next occurred naturally. Now Fili could still remember Lenni's silky smooth skin, her snake-like flexible waist, and most impressively, the female pastor's terrifyingly abundant physical strength.

  "It seems that next time I need to find an opportunity to exercise, otherwise I will be drained sooner or later." Phil moved his hands and feet, feeling still sore and weak. However, the intense joy soon completely overwhelmed this thread of anxiety, because he realized a rather crucial issue: he was no longer a virgin!

  This unprecedented good news stimulated Feri's mind to be completely blank, this joy was so strong that he almost went crazy! If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have any strength left in his body, Feri might have followed Archimedes' lead and shouted "I'm not a virgin anymore!" and run out into the streets to share this moment of joy with everyone in the world.

  With a vision of future happiness, Phil began to consider how to further develop and consolidate the intimate relationship with the beautiful female pastor, such as where to date, what gifts to give, when and how to meet Renny's parents, etc. Until he accidentally touched his empty wallet, it was as if he had been drenched in a basin of ice water from head to toe, instantly waking up - he was now a complete pauper.

  This world is still very realistic, when chasing girls money isn't omnipotent, but without money it's absolutely impossible.

  "Where can I go to get some money?" Phil looked up at the calendar on the wall, today was only October 20th, and there were still 10 days until the next payday. Since returning to Emon Port, he hadn't gone to Charlotte's forge to help out, so naturally, he didn't have any share of the profits this month. After spending a wonderful night with Tong Jia, he didn't even have enough money for today's meals.

  Although alchemists are called "mobile general stores" and can make all sorts of small items to sell for money at any time and place, they still cannot create something out of nothing. The prices of various raw materials are also not cheap, and a good work requires a considerable amount of time. Now, Phil has neither the materials nor the time (he must take advantage of the situation to strengthen his relationship with Selene, and making the magic tombstone used up all his stock), so he really can't afford to make money this way.

  As for borrowing money, after experiencing the terror of being forced to repay debts at the Woguo Temple, Feili didn't dare try again. Especially since he had paid off that debt with a blank check, and he couldn't be sure if the Woguo Temple wouldn't come after him again if they didn't get their money back. Charlotte and several other acquaintances had gone out of town, and Governor Nuo was in the city, but Feili didn't know whether borrowing from his superior would have negative consequences, leaving a bad impression on his superior for being reckless with money wasn't a good thing.

  Fili searched in his own spatial ring, only to find those obtained from the Glorious City, which were still blank coupons. And the dragon skin and dragon bones privately swallowed when killing the green dragon, due to the lack of other materials, Fili had not further processed them. If these privately acquired spoils of war were sold without processing, there would be big trouble, and Fili did not want to take the risk of being remembered by the soldiers to peddle these dragon skin and bones.

  Just as he was considering pawning his clothes, Ferri suddenly noticed an old newspaper on the bedside table, one of whose headlines caught his eye.

  "Eradicate these beasts that act with their lower body! Exclusive interview with survivors of the Fog Town massacre."

  Fili read it carefully, and found that it was a report about the Elf Army's massacre in Fog Town, which eventually collapsed due to a massive outbreak of syphilis. As he looked at the bloody complaints in the article, he suddenly had an idea.

  This afternoon, a small stall opened across from the Emon Port Garrison Command, and the owner was naturally Phil Taylor. The sign read "Latest Alchemy Products - Condoms, giving you a safe and warm night!" Below that were instructions for use and product introductions, accompanied by vivid illustrations. Also attached was a line of fine print, "Grand opening special, every customer can try one for free! Welcome to come again next time!"

  Next to the vendor was a large iron cage, containing a sprite war captive who had been returned by a gay bar due to having contracted a venereal disease. The poor creature was stripped bare, with its hands suspended from the top of the cage, leaving its rotten lower body exposed in public view. The cage also had newspaper clippings about the outbreak of syphilis among the sprite army in Fogtown pasted on it, serving as a persuasive advertisement.

  The goods sold by the street vendors were naturally the colorful, fragrant and varied condoms that Fili had hastily made with alchemy at noon. There were also wooden models of genital organs on the stall for demonstration purposes. In this world, rubber was widely used, and the variation system magic could easily make them light and thin. With some temporary perfume and spices, Fili could easily produce rose, jasmine and other fragrances after some deep processing. Except that they were more expensive because magic was needed to make them, these condoms were not much different from their counterparts in another world.

  To open up the market, Phil also made some sex education flyers with sexy pictures and had the soldiers from the guard squad distribute them everywhere. As a result, on the first day, the vendors' business was surprisingly good, and more than half of the first batch of thousands of condoms were sold. And poor spirit prisoner was splashed with rotten fruit and saliva by countless people, what's even more tragic is that he had to continue being exhibited like this until he died or the condom sales ended.

  Fili, while running his stall, also sent some samples to Fengyue Street and the El'goroth Temple for people to try out for free. In the following days, female dark elves kept coming to him to wholesale condoms - the female dwarves were really too open-minded in this regard. Even dwarves and halflings came to Fili asking for custom-made small-caliber condoms, which further increased his income. He simply turned his stall into a mobile sales cart, with a flag that read "buy five get one free", pushing the cart around to find busy places to peddle his wares. As a result, people from surrounding villages also came to buy, and the rolling gold coins quickly filled Fili's money bag, making him even more generous when he went on dates with Lenni at night.

  In the end, Charlotte, who was more suited to being a merchant than a soldier, also came to ask to join. So Fili contributed ideas and technology, Charlotte contributed funds and manpower, and a safe workshop was quickly established. Under the drive of money, Fili also developed super-thin, sturdy, fruit-flavored, chocolate-flavored and other new products, and detailed specifications for various sizes of safety suits to meet the needs of customers of different races and levels. The production cost of safety suits also decreased due to large-scale production, which further opened up sales channels. For a period of time, safety suits even became one of the specialties of Emon Port, with products selling well in southern states.

  Before a multitude of counterfeit condom workshops sprang up - this era did not have perfect patent laws - Félice and Charlotte had already made thousands of gold coins in profits from the invention, at least for a while, Félice didn't have to worry about the huge expenses of dating Solrenne.

  However, apart from the huge profits, the condom business also brought him a third nickname besides "Pink Reaper" and "Beauty Alchemist", which is "Condom Girl"!
