Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

Midway through the banquet, His Highness Prince Keith Sitting took the stage for his routine thanks and summary. Just when everyone thought the proceedings would continue, the Second Prince abruptly changed the subject:

"The meaning of charity lies in continuous good deeds, not in momentary generosity."

On behalf of the Foundation, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to a certain gentleman.

Even before he knew how the market would react to his product's launch, he proactively signed a long-term donation agreement with the foundation.

A commotion began to rise in the audience; many of the insects seemed to have guessed what was going on.

The Second Prince continued:

He pledged to donate up to 30% of the profits from his project to the foundation, specifically for research on the female soldiers' spiritual riots and the care of orphans. This vision and sense of responsibility are truly rare.

He turned his gaze in Lin Luo's direction. "Thank you, Lord Lin Luo."

The spotlight finally shone on Lin Luo, who stood up and nodded humbly in greeting.

There was some polite applause from the audience, but more of it was surprise and whispers. A 30% long-term return! That's a huge deal!

Carlos was taken aback for a moment, then a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips as he whispered to his companion:

"Ha, thinking he can salvage his reputation by throwing money around? How naive! This only proves how many ill-gotten star coins he made off that doll!"

"30%?! Long-term donation?! Really?"

"For the sake of the female soldiers... seems like we're blaming the wrong insect?"

"Isn't it a bit late to donate now?"

"Lord Carlos is right! This is just compensation for a guilty conscience!"

......

However, the Second Prince did not stop there.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and his tone became serious:

"Given the recent controversies surrounding the 'Rolling Doll' on StarNet, and the fact that this matter concerns the spiritual safety of the female insect and the reputation of the foundation's donated projects,

"I have commissioned the Imperial Academy of Sciences to conduct the most rigorous testing on this product."

The words "Imperial Supreme Academy of Sciences" struck every insect's heart like a heavy hammer! The entire arena fell silent instantly! Even the live stream chat froze for a moment!

Carlos stared wide-eyed at the stage in disbelief!

The Imperial Academy of Sciences?! How is that possible?! How could Lin Luo possibly have gotten them to come?! He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

An elderly man with a solemn expression, wearing the highest-level uniform of the research institute—Dean Tynes—slowly walked onto the stage.

"...After comprehensive testing and analysis by the Institute of Biopsychomechanics of this Academy," Dean Tynes's voice clearly resonated throughout every corner.

"It has been confirmed that the core material used in the 'Rolling Doll' emits a specific biological wave frequency that has a slight soothing and calming effect on the female insect's mental sea."

While it cannot compare to the soothing power of the male insect, its effect as a daily aid is real and positive.

He looked at Lin Luo, his eyes filled with admiration:

"His discovery and promotion by Lord Linluo has actually provided a new and beneficial auxiliary method for the vast number of female insects, especially those who cannot frequently receive comfort from their male counterparts."

Lord Linluo has now shared it free of charge with the Imperial Academy of Sciences for research, and there is no patent protection period; any insect or institution can use it!

The truth! Officially certified by the Imperial Supreme Academy of Sciences!

"!!! The Academy of Sciences! It's Dean Tynes!"

"Officially certified! It really works!"

"We misunderstood Lord Lin Luo!!"

"I felt like an idiot for returning it!"

"Apologize! We must apologize to Lord Lin Luo!"

The audience erupted in uproar! All the previous doubts, disdain, and mockery turned into shock, shame, and disbelief!

Carlos's face turned deathly pale; he could hardly believe his ears! How could this be?!

Just then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Lin Luo walked towards the podium.

He took the microphone from Dean Tynes, his gaze sweeping across the room before lingering for a moment on Carlos's pale face.

His voice was clear and firm: "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Dean Tynes, for clearing my name. Tonight is a night of charity, and my personal troubles should not take up too much of our time."

He took a deep breath and announced firmly:

"To express my apology and to uphold the true meaning of charity, I hereby announce that all after-tax profits generated by 'Rolling Doll' from its launch until now, after deducting the most basic production costs, will be donated entirely to the Imperial Charitable Foundation!"

"boom--!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers! Applause, gasps, and exclamations of admiration filled the air! This was not only for the enormous donation, but also for this magnanimity and courage!

[StarNet Bullet Comments]

"It's all donated! All profits have been donated!!"

"Waaaaah, Your Excellency is so kind!"

"The harsher the insults you hurled before, the more your face stings now!"

"Carlos deceived us!"

"Buy! I'm going to buy everything! I want Ausgroup stock to go up!"

"I dared not speak before, but now I'll shout it out loud: Lord Lin Luo, I am your dog!"

......

Under the spotlight, Lin Luo stood tall and straight. He looked at Ailand and his friends below the stage and finally smiled brightly.

As Ailand gazed at Lin Luo on the stage, a sense of pride welled up within him. The female insects present were filled with fervor and adoration, all their previous doubts vanished, leaving only a deeper reverence.

The male insects had different expressions; some nodded in admiration, while others curled their lip in disdain. But without a doubt, the name Lin Luo was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every insect tonight.

Carlos watched the scene unfold, completely detached from his expectations. He saw Lin Luo being fawned over and the surrounding insects casting disdainful glances his way. He trembled with rage, his face contorted with rage.

He cursed under his breath, shoved his companion aside, and amidst astonishment and ridicule, left the scene in a disheveled state, like a stray dog.

----

Rewind to the period before the crisis broke out, in the study of the Eland mansion.

Lin Luo leaned back deeply into the sofa. Voske's analysis and Aland's explanation made him realize that conventional business clarification methods were of little use in the face of the female insects' instinctive fear of the spiritual sea.

Things seem to be deadlocked.

"...Is there really no way out?" Lin Luo murmured to himself, his voice filled with resentment.

Just then, Eland, who had been silently pondering, suddenly spoke up: "Perhaps there is a way we can try."

Several pairs of eyes instantly focused on him.

"I can compile a report on the phenomenon that the special plant fiber has a slight soothing effect on the mind and submit it directly to the Marshal."

Eland continued, "The Marshal himself has always been highly concerned about the mental and physical health of female soldiers."

If he approves of the report's value, he should be able to use his influence to contact the Empire's top and most authoritative spiritual research institution to conduct a deeper and more credible examination of the doll.
