Chapter 290: Chapter 268: The Magical Face Mask! Men Still Suffer

Soon, Baguda led Lu Feng to a factory building.

But this factory was actually located within the city limits.

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s area was equivalent to a large province back home, and that was with its somewhat blurry borders with neighboring countries.

This was also one of the lingering historical issues of this chaotic region.

If the various nations were to clearly define their borders, some countries would shrink while others might grow, with the final outcome depending on who had the stronger military might.

Therefore, as long as the Xuanfeng Alliance was strong enough, it could definitely expand its territory by a great deal.

However, the Xuanfeng Alliance had a small population. Back home, with the exception of two border provinces, any random province had a population in the tens of millions.

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s population was very small, even in the Wind Capital.

This was also why he wanted to attract immigrants.

But this was no small matter, and now was not the time. They had to at least wait until the Wind Capital’s infrastructure was complete.

Thus, the Wind Capital had a great deal of available land. Baguda had simply found a spot within the city, set it up as a factory, and installed a facial mask production line.

’This is not the right way to do things.’

If a city wanted to develop, let alone become an international metropolis, its functional zones had to be clearly demarcated. It was impossible to mix factories with other functional areas.

He understood Baguda’s thinking. After all, with a small population and plenty of land, there wasn’t much need to be scrupulous.

This was the mindset of a small country with a sparse population.

If a city were built this way back home, the officials in charge would have been torn to shreds online long ago.

’I’ll have to talk to Baguda about this later.’

’After all, we need to plan a dedicated industrial zone, and it has to be located a fair distance away from the city.’

Stepping inside, he saw a brand-new facial mask production line. The purchased materials were also stacked neatly nearby.

"His Excellency the Governor, what’s the next step? Do you need me to call anyone to help?" Baguda asked.

"No need." Lu Feng shook his head.

He had the complete and detailed technical data for producing the cell-activating facial masks in his mind.

Although doing it himself would take some time, it would also ensure absolute secrecy.

Lu Feng walked directly to a machine on the production line.

This machine was for creating the mask’s essence. Different masks had different essences, generally with effects like hydrating, whitening, and so on... As for how effective they actually were, that depended on the manufacturer’s conscience.

The essence for the mask Lu Feng had obtained from the game was a cell-activating fluid.

Following the technical data in his mind, he found the materials he needed, arranged them according to the formula’s ratios and sequence, and began operating the machine.

Moreover, thanks to his mask-making skill, his movements were incredibly fluid, which left Baguda utterly astonished.

’His Excellency the Governor actually has this kind of ability?’

’Such masterful operation. It’s truly surprising.’

Lu Feng, however, paid no mind to Baguda’s thoughts. ’If I were back home, I really wouldn’t dare do this. After all, how could a high school graduate produce this kind of mask?’

’Especially when the Cell-Activating Fluid is revealed. Many people will realize this thing is related to the subject of extending cellular lifespan—something that’s simply impossible for our era to crack. They’ll definitely be shocked.’

’Back home, someone would inevitably take an interest in me, investigate me, and then who knows what they’d do.’

But this was the Xuanfeng Alliance. He called the shots. In the future, no matter how much advanced technology he revealed, he wouldn’t have so many scruples.

Before long, Lu Feng had produced a batch of Cell-Activating Fluid.

Most mask essences on the market are a simple mixture of water and an activating agent, with some skin-beneficial vitamins added in.

However, some people have done experiments.

In reality, most facial masks only have one function: hydration. By soaking the stratum corneum and forming an occlusive film, they create the illusion of supple, translucent, and even whiter skin.

As for so-called collagen, that was a joke.

Therefore, this effect doesn’t last long at all; the skin reverts to its original state in about half an hour to an hour. As for whitening and anti-wrinkle products, you could say that nine out of ten don’t have this function, and the one that does is sold at an exorbitant price with unremarkable results.

But even so, these masks are still highly sought after by many women. A woman might even get angry if her boyfriend makes her late for her mask routine, as if not applying a mask—even one with no effect—is a cardinal sin.

For them, perhaps even seeking that tiny bit of psychological comfort was worth it.

But Lu Feng was confident.

The Cell-Activating Fluid technology he obtained from the game world could directly increase cellular activity.

As long as the cells were activated and healthy, a person would naturally become radiant, their skin whitening and gaining a healthy glow.

The reason people age—their skin turning dull and yellow, wrinkles appearing—is largely due to declining cellular vitality, with fewer new cells being produced than old ones dying.

With the supplement of the Cell-Activating Fluid, cells could become healthy, full of vitality, and extend their lifespan.

With this cell turnover, where new cells outnumber dying ones, it could definitely and effectively delay aging.

Therefore, Lu Feng was very confident that masks made with the Cell-Activating Fluid would sweep the market and become an essential product for women.

There isn’t a woman in this world who doesn’t love beauty, nor is there one who isn’t afraid of getting old.

If those completely ineffective masks on the market could sell so explosively, then the one he brought from the game world was on another level.

After all, the Cell-Activating Fluid could truly deliver the effects advertised by those other masks.

Next, Lu Feng studied the production line, started it up, took the necessary materials, and began the manufacturing process, one step at a time.

The most difficult part of making facial masks is actually creating the essence. The rest is quite simple. Many people even buy concentrated essence to make their own masks at home.

So, a short while later, Lu Feng had personally produced a batch of masks.

Thanks to his production skill, the workmanship of the masks was also very fine.

But that wasn’t important. What mattered was the effect—whether it was a success or not.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng ordered Baguda, "Baguda, go find some women. I need to test the effects of this mask."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." Watching the masks take shape, Baguda was astonished, and his admiration for this President Lu deepened.

Upon hearing the order, he immediately left the factory building, took out his phone, and began making arrangements.

Lu Feng took the opportunity to grab a mask, go to the restroom, lock the door, and with a single thought, brought the mask into the game.

The next moment, he used the game’s inspection skill to view the mask’s description:

[This is a very finely crafted Cell-Activating Mud Mask. The emergence of Cell-Activating Fluid has subverted the traditional facial mask industry, and its effects far exceed that of any other mask’s essence.

You will feel a pleasant sensation upon applying this mask. It effectively whitens, hydrates, and combats aging with extremely powerful results. This is a product that will inevitably be sought after by countless women, just as men will always love beautiful women!]

Seeing this description, Lu Feng broke into a smile.

The description was simple, clear, and easy to understand.

Especially that last line: men do indeed love beautiful women—it’s an unchanging law. If women pursued this mask with the same fervor, the result would be them obediently paying up for it, just like men have to obediently pay up to woo beautiful women.

But then, he felt something was off.

’Women have to obediently pay for the masks, and men have to obediently pay for the women... so in the end, it’s still the men who are paying.’

’So those damn cosmetics companies aren’t really earning women’s money, are they? Ultimately, they’re earning men’s money.’

But for Lu Feng, what he most wanted to know right now was just how powerful the effects of this Cell-Activating Fluid mask really were.

After reading the mask’s information and knowing it was a success, Lu Feng exited the game.

Outside, Baguda had hung up the phone, having delegated the task to his secretary.

Kerana was in her office, very puzzled. ’What is Mr. Baguda up to? He wants me to find a woman to go test a facial mask?’

But it was an order from Baguda, so she didn’t dare delay. Besides, she thought of that special liquor from before.

’After all, that liquor could restore a person’s sight. It was just too miraculous.’

’Now Mr. Baguda is giving this special order... could it be that this mask also has some special effect?’

Kerana didn’t dare hesitate. She immediately had someone gather a dozen or so women who worked for the government, then arranged for a bus to transport them all to the factory.

"Mr. Baguda." Kerana greeted Baguda formally when she saw him. Then, seeing Lu Feng, she called out even more respectfully, "His Excellency the Governor."

As Baguda’s secretary, she naturally knew Lu Feng’s identity. But the other women, despite also working for the government, had no idea. Now, hearing his title, every one of them was stunned and immediately greeted Lu Feng with deep respect.

They knew very well who he was: the king of the Xuanfeng Alliance, the master of all.

"Kerana, quickly have them apply these masks," Baguda immediately ordered.

"Right away!" Kerana saw the masks and immediately instructed the other women. They took the masks to the side, first washing their faces with water before starting to apply them.

Moreover, she was filled with a sense of anticipation.

Mr. Baguda handling this personally already indicated that these masks were something special. With even the Governor present, they had to be extraordinary.

「A moment later.」

Kerana and the other women had finished applying the masks. All that was left was to wait.

A typical mask needs to be left on for 15 to 20 minutes.

The Cell-Activating Fluid mask Lu Feng had made was about the same.

However, the experience came with effects that ordinary masks lacked. And, just as the description said, with the Cell-Activating Fluid mask, you could clearly feel those effects.

Therefore, not long after applying the masks, Kerana and the other women were all in disbelief.

They could clearly feel a pleasant sensation spreading across their faces.

"Mr. Baguda, this mask feels very comfortable," Kerana said in surprise.

Another woman added, also surprised, "Yes, it feels like the cells in my face are becoming more active!"

"I feel like my whole face is getting a facial massage," yet another woman exclaimed.
