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

Upon hearing the word "Marshal," Lin Luo's eyes lit up at first, but then worry welled up inside him.

"But... shouldn't everything that's sent to the Marshal be a matter of national importance?"

"Is this kind of commercial product dispute really worth getting his attention? Won't it... make him think you're neglecting your duties and interfering with your work?"

He didn't want his own affairs to affect Elland's future.

Eland shook his head and explained:

"You don't need to worry. In fact, when I first discovered this material on the barren planet, I considered its military value."

He paused for a moment, then recalled, "At the time, I had the accompanying military doctor conduct a preliminary test, but the results were not ideal."

Its calming effect is extremely weak, short-lived, and highly unstable, and is completely inadequate to meet the requirements for quickly alleviating mental turmoil in a battlefield environment.

Therefore, the idea was shelved at the time, deemed to lack military application value, and I did not report it as a formal discovery.

Changing the subject, Eland continued, "However, military standards and civilian needs are completely different."

"For the front lines, its effect is too weak; but for the vast majority of ordinary female insects living in a peaceful environment, yet constantly under the implicit pressure of their mental anguish—"

This continuous, gentle, and harmless reassurance may be significant, as it provides a daily psychological comfort and support that has never been offered before.

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

"The Marshal's perspective on the issue is holistic. If he had known that a material that was once deemed to have 'limited value in military use' could have such a huge positive impact in the civilian field, and could even have spawned a charitable foundation to support military research, he would have been able to understand that it could have such a huge positive impact in the civilian field."

I believe he would not ignore it; on the contrary, he would welcome it and be willing to provide authoritative support to verify and promote this discovery.

Lin Luo's eyes lit up instantly! All her worries vanished:

"I see! I get it! It won't work for military use, but it will work for civilian use! That's great, Ayland!"

Overwhelmed with joy, he broke free of his composure and practically jumped up, throwing himself into Ayland's arms, wrapping his arms around his neck, his voice brimming with excitement, "Ayland, you're amazing!"

The sudden, intimate embrace made Ailand stiffen slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his icy blue eyes, but it quickly softened.

He subconsciously raised his hand and gently hugged Lin Luo back.

Theodore and Voske exchanged a glance, and both insects tacitly refrained from making a sound to disturb them.

After Lin Luo's excitement subsided, she belatedly realized what she had done, and the tips of her ears turned red in an instant.

He quickly let go, sprang away from Ailand's embrace, and sat back down properly in his seat.

"...Ahem, I mean, that's great!" He tried to make his voice sound normal.

"As long as we can prove in the most authoritative way that the dolls not only did not harm the female insect's mental state,

On the contrary, it had a calming effect, and all the rumors spread by Carlos were thus debunked! The core contradiction was resolved!

-------

The eve of the banquet—

With Eland's contact through military channels and the Marshal's tacit approval, the Imperial Academy of Sciences has privately reported back the preliminary verification results, which are positive.

Now, everything is ready, except for the most suitable time to announce it.

Under Vosk's arrangement, Lin Luo visited the Second Prince, Prince Keith Sittin.

In the Second Prince's reception room, Lin Luo respectfully made his request:

"...Your Highness, I humbly request that you arrange a short time at tomorrow night's charity gala to invite a representative from the Imperial Academy of Sciences to the stage to release an authoritative testing report on the 'Rolling Doll'?"

This concerns whether the truth can come to light, and whether countless female insect consumers can feel at ease.

The second prince held his teacup and listened quietly, without responding immediately.

Lin Luo took a deep breath and showed his utmost sincerity:

"As a token of my gratitude to the Foundation and Your Highness for your support in this clarification, I promise to announce at the banquet that all profits generated by 'Rolling Doll' since its launch will be donated to the Imperial Charitable Foundation!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince raised his eyes and looked at Lin Luo seriously, with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lin Luo felt uneasy under his gaze, and her palms became slightly sweaty.

Just when Lin Luo thought the other party was going to refuse, the Second Prince Keith Sitting suddenly smiled:

"Lord Lin Luo," he began slowly:

"Your passion and determination for charity are truly impressive. The foundation has no reason to refuse such a generous act."

He put down his teacup: "I would be happy to assist with this arrangement. Your outstanding contributions to the foundation will be remembered."

------

The charity gala was like dropping a nuclear bomb on an already turbulent lake, completely changing the situation.

The authoritative endorsement of Dean Tynes of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Lin Luo's astonishing donation of a large amount of profits, and Carlos's dramatic exit in a sorry state were broadcast live across the StarNet to every corner of the Empire.

The result is—

Sales of "Rolling Dolls" not only rebounded from rock bottom, but also experienced an unprecedented, almost frenzied, explosive growth!

All the previously suppressed desire to buy, the guilt caused by the misunderstanding, and the fervent pursuit of that "weak but certain" soothing effect erupted completely at this moment.

The Aus Group's official website server nearly crashed several times, and the queues at the mall stretched as far as the eye could see.

The female insects that had previously returned the goods were filled with regret and desperately wanted to buy them again;

The female insects, who had been observing from the sidelines, were completely reassured and joined the buying frenzy without hesitation.

Even many of the female insects that had already been purchased started buying a second or third, as if this was the only way to make up for their previous "distrust" of Lord Linluo.

The situation briefly spiraled out of control, forcing Voske to deploy a large security force and urgently activate its fully automated sales system to maintain order.

Seeing this far-fetched scene, Lin Luo felt a sense of unease amidst his joy.

He doesn't want to see female insects over-consume due to blind pursuit.

He logged back into his social media account and posted a message:

Thank you so much for your support and trust! But please be sure to consume rationally!

The soothing effect of the "Rolling Doll" is very weak; it is more of a companion that provides psychological comfort than a necessity for healing emotional distress.

He tried to explain and calm things down:

"In addition, the extraction and synthesis techniques of the specific materials used in the dolls that have a calming effect are not unique to 'Rolling Dolls'."

Several reputable manufacturers have already obtained relevant technology authorizations, and more products using similar materials but with different brands and styles will appear on the market in the future.

Everyone can choose according to their own preferences; there's no need to be fixated on the "Rolling" version.

He hopes this will divert some of the demand, allowing people to make more rational choices.

However, the female insects' enthusiasm has long surpassed the functionality of the product itself.

[StarNet comments explode instantly]:

"Please don't try to persuade me! I'm determined to buy it! There has never been a product before that has been proven effective for mental health!"

"For you, as a noble male insect, to actually consider this matter for us females, is absolutely unique and irreplaceable!"

"I can't be rational, Your Excellency! You know that the upper-class female soldiers and nobles can use expensive high-level medicines to relieve their mental sea, but where do we ordinary female insects get those channels and star coins?"

Even if this doll has only a tiny effect, even if it's just a placebo, it's a lifesaver for us! We have to buy it!

"Waaaah, you're so kind! Even now, you're still thinking of us, worried we'll waste money... Just for that, I want to support you even more!"

"Holding the doll is like holding you! (I'm crazy, leave me alone)"

"Brothers! Stop talking about the dolls! Go see this shocking scoop! We've got a breaking news story! Lord Carlos once tortured a female servant to death!"
