Time passed very quickly. This wonderful gathering was almost ready!

All the patrol personnel in the village were ready and arranged their stalls in various locations.

When the appointed time arrived, the sun had already risen and countless demi-humans swarmed in from all directions.

Because they had not come into contact with the village market for nearly a thousand years, they were very curious.

Arriving in groups, they soon found what they wanted in the market.

On the first day, the business at the market wasn’t very good.

That was because everyone was here to join in the fun, so most people did not bring food to exchange for items that were being sold.

However, today’s profit was more than enough to cover their consumption during construction for the next couple of days. 

On the second day, the market’s business gradually improved. In just one day, they had earned a week’s worth of food.

However, this was only the beginning because the main attraction had not even been brought out yet.

As the elven women and those from the Great Ghost clan continued to promote all kinds of naturally made skin care products, the word spread quickly to the other demi-human races.

At first, everyone just wanted a tester or two. However, they soon realised that there was actually a positive effect from the skincare products that were being promoted.

Soon, even the men began to have an interest in the various skincare products, manicures, weight loss methods and other things that were being pushed toward the women. 

The news of these beauty products spread quickly around Puba. More and more people admired their benefits, and the women soon became increasingly eager to get their hands on these products.

For the sake of their women’s beauty, many men came to the market overnight to camp out and buy week’s worth of skincare products.

Before dawn, there were already so many men squatting around even though the market had not opened yet. They had all arrived the night before to be the first in line. 

Seeing so many people, the guards were afraid of accidents so they quickly reported this to Joshua!

As captain of the garrison team, Georgi immediately received the news from his subordinate.

Helpless, he could only brace himself and go to the temporary camp to wake up Joshua who was still sleeping. “Village Chief Joshua! Wake up!”

Hearing his shout, Joshua immediately sat up, put on a set of clothes, and went to the camp’s entrance.

“Georgi, the sky is not yet bright. What happened?”

Greer immediately said, “There are a lot of men gathered in the market! I’m afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I came here to inform you.”

Hearing this, Joshua immediately became happy and told Georgi, “Arrange for more patrols to move the tables and chairs. Also, pour them tea so they can rest while waiting for the morning.”

Although he did not know the reason behind Joshua’s orders, Georgi still went down to get it done.

After everything was ready, the people scattered around the market immediately became orderly.

After enjoying the excellent service, their hearts also relaxed and they weren’t as noisy as before.

Seeing that all the customers were ready, Joshua immediately went to the workshop.

He checked the production progress of the things they would be selling today.

Lena was in the workshop and played a crucial role. Under her coordination, everything was done in an orderly manner. All the beauty products had already been prepared beforehand.

Because she had been staying up late for the past few days, the dark circles under Lena’s eyes became heavier and heavier.

Seeing this scene, Joshua immediately walked over to her side and used his hand to caress her cheek in apology. “I’m really sorry, I’ve made you suffer during this period of time!”

Lena suddenly blushed when she felt Joshua’s gentleness. She had never seen such a gentle Joshua.

For a moment, she did not know what to do.

However, Joshua quickly turned around as he began to settle other things. Lena instantly felt a trace of disappointment in her heart.

“What’s wrong with me? Why do I suddenly have this feeling towards him?”

In just a short moment, she went back to being busy and did not even have the time to ponder on her feelings any longer.

Joshua checked that the storeroom was ready. He then took out the goods and decided to sell some of them in advance.

This was to ensure that no accidents would happen once the market was bustling during the day time.

Although cosmetic products were very profitable, Joshua’s main goal was to popularize daily necessities.

These daily necessities were things that they needed forever. Once they were dependent on them, they would not have to worry about not being able to buy them during the course of their lives as they would be available here.

The day had just dawned and the market was already ready. The market manager immediately picked up a loudspeaker and shouted, “Because it’s very hard for everyone to wait all night, the village chief hereby opens the market for everyone!

“However, please don’t stand in a crowd and line up one by one. All items are available in unlimited quantities so you don’t have to worry about not being able to buy them!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people sitting around him immediately stood up as everyone began to line up to shop.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Joshua almost laughed out loud.

At first, he thought that these things were useless. However, he didn’t expect the temptation of beauty to be so great!

While there were people who had come from afar, there were even the staff members in the camp who were attracted by these things that they had personally made.

After completing his tasks, the butler Mortimer, was more surprised than anyone else because he had never known where the First Prince had learned such knowledge.

“Could it be that the First Prince was always pretending to be stupid? Maybe he always wanted his father to send him away!”

The Lancelot Empire was not as stable as they had imagined, and the three princes themselves had already done countless things in order to fight for power.

The First Prince, who knew how to enjoy himself the most among them, did not participate in their conspiracy.

However, the biggest obstacle to the succession of the throne was the First Prince. Therefore, the first goal for the youngest two was to get rid of Joshua in front of them.

Their original plan was to let him die from chronic poisoning. However, they did not expect that a Joshua from another world would cross over to this world and be reborn in the First Prince’s body.

After that, Joshua also awakened a system and gained endless benefits. If they knew that this would happen, they would probably want to commit suicide.

After the morning market ended, Joshua immediately found a quiet place to rest, leaning against a tree as he fell asleep.

As he had been super busy these past few days, he was very tired.

Not long after he fell asleep, his personal maid, Lena, came to his side. When she saw that Joshua was sleeping, she immediately approached him.

Was this man in front of her really the same person as the one she knew in the palace?

The current Joshua had changed too much.

In the past, he would never care about his subordinates.

Especially her, considering he felt that all women were tools before this.

Lena gently touched Joshua’s face and muttered, “What happened to you when you fell to the ground!”
