As in everywhere.
People were talking about it on family group chats, work chats, and even with their bosses about being late to work to try their hand at getting a bottle.
However, some bosses were sure that a few employees might be absent because they were either too sad or too happy, depending on the results.
Oh well.
And as much as the bosses would like to say something, what do you tell your employees who were just trying to secure something important for their loved ones?
Because live streamer Dylan didn’t even need to say it, as he only smiled when someone asked about the spiritual energy content.
He could’ve made an even bigger deal about it, but doing that would likely aggravate the already exploding chat barrage.
In fact, he was only able to escape because everyone started transferring their ire and desperation into the Star Mall site to get their hands on a few ’necessary’ items.
Nothing escaped the people of the Empire.
The blender.
The glasses.
The stirrer.
Even the ice tray was scrutinized. If they could replicate it, that little umbrella would be coming, too.
They were sold out. Obviously.
When asked why they would buy them despite not being sure if they could purchase them tomorrow, the people’s responses were optimistic.
It may not be tomorrow. But what about the next day?
Or the day after! For they would practice, and one day, they were bound to succeed.
It was one night.
And while one shop owner slumbered in the comfort of his newly received heated blanket, many citizens were getting busy.
Like the Star Mall officials who declared overtime and a massive resource allocation transfer in a bid to get it right this time.
And no one was going to sleep.
Even the soldiers of the military although they were up for a very different reason.
At first, many were planning to stay up to train their hand speeds but were surprised to be called out for a general meeting.
It was a very oddly scheduled meeting but was apparently an important one.
For they were going to discuss the allocation of the remaining spiritual products.
Yes. There was such a thing.
And it was no surprise that the soldiers couldn’t understand what it meant because since when were they capable of having extras? And since when did they have spiritual products?
Apparently, since the day the Imperial Crown Prince brokered a deal on behalf of the military. And now here they were, with exclusive items that had allowed this meeting to occur.
Candied Lemon and Orange Peels.
Now, don’t ask the higher-ups because even the Marshal only learned of this after being showered with them.
Each small piece was like an entire fruit, much to their surprise! But how could it not be when the peels were boiled with Spiritual Water?!
However, this was the knowledge that they didn’t need to know, and if there was something more pressing for them, it would be the allocation.
The few fruit purée bottles they got were automatically assigned to those classified as critical.
However, with the sheer number of peels they got and considering the potency of the small candy-looking peels, they were surprised to learn that there would be extras.
