SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS -

Chapter 272: Chapter 270: SERVING THE PEOPLE 2
Diamond, who had fortunately changed into casual wear after returning home, didn’t have to shower and change into another outfit again, so she had a lot of time on her hands.
Diamond was feeling a bit lazy at the moment, so she wasn’t planning on doing any heavy load.
So, she sat on the fur carpet in her bedroom and took out several beauty cream containers from her storage ring and heaped them in front of her, before taking out her phone.
Earlier at Ruby’s school, Diamond had received a lot of orders. And before separating from the ladies, she had repeatedly reminded them to send their orders once again to her on Chatline. And as she unlocked her phone’s screen, she just hoped that they hadn’t forgotten.
When she opened her group chats, a smile beamed on her face as she looked at the hundreds of messages these parents had sent to the group. And the main topic seemed to be revolving around the cream.
One of the parents had made a list of the ladies who wanted the cream and how many bottles they wanted.
Diamond quickly found the list and began to look at it intensely.
After checking it clearly, she found out that only fifteen ladies wanted the cream. And because there were quite a lot of ladies in the group and only fifteen placed their orders, she found it quite disappointing.
Even the orders weren’t that huge, but it’s better than having no orders to speak of again.
Seeing that the orders didn’t reach even thirty bottles and yet the number of creams in her storage ring, ignoring the ones in front of her, were too many to count.
However, she didn’t lose hope. After all, didn’t she have other customers to whom she hadn’t sold anything for nearly a month now?
Diamond checked her other messages and saw that Madam Sawyer also texted her. So, she called the lady.
Her chat with the other lasted for a long time and throughout the call, Diamond was smiling and brimming with happiness. After all, the lady she hadn’t talked to for a while now brought some good news.
Diamond spent the next hour arranging the orders and packaging everything into the fancy gift bags she had purchased another day on impulse. When she was done, she returned everything to her storage ring.
Seeing that there was still time, and she wasn’t sleepy yet, Diamond changed her clothes into overalls and flashed into the Golden Space for some work.

The next day, Diamond yawned as she stretched her muscles after a beauty sleep.
After doing so many strenuous exercises in the space, Diamond slept beautifully, as the fatigue she experienced after harvesting and training was no joke.
Diamond climbed off the bed and wore her slippers before making the bed. When she was done, she switched the cleaning robots on as the curtains opened to let the sunlight in.
Diamond washed her face and brushed her teeth before applying some cream. Diamond’s morning routine was very simple and didn’t require a lot of time.
She changed into her exercising gear and, minutes later; she was jogging around the court with Garnet in tow.
On her last lap, Diamond slowed down as she spotted a familiar face she hadn’t seen and talked to in a very long time.
’I didn’t know she was back!’ Diamond was quite surprised to see that person.
Coming to the wide paved road was someone who, if Diamond loved watching TV a lot, would see frequently, and it was none other than Kisha. The actress who made her popular after a walk on the red carpet.
"Diamond! Thank goodness I saw you!" Kisha exclaimed happily, like a person who was very close to her. The kind that talked to her daily.
Seeing how thick-skinned Kisha was, Diamond could only smile helplessly as she approached the other.
"Hehe. Have you been looking for me? I am not that hard to find!" since Kisha decided to play the close game, how could Diamond not play along?
Kisha smiled brightly, seeing that Diamond wasn’t going to make things difficult for her but play alongside her.
"Hehe, it’s me who is too busy. Are you free?"
"Um. For a bit. Is it that time, already?" Diamond asked curiously with a smile as she looked at Kisha, who now looked much better than how she was when she last saw her.
Confident with her looks now, Kisha was in a great mood.
"Um. How many can you spare me this time?"
"It depends on how many you want!" Diamond responded smilingly, curious to hear how much Kisha was willing to spend this time.
Upon hearing that, Kisha was relieved. What she was afraid of the most was hearing Diamond talking about how limited the creams were. She has the money and yet can’t buy what she wants. How could that be fair?
"Can I get twenty if they are there?" without hesitation, Kisha placed her order.
When Diamond, who was expecting to hear a low number, heard that, she looked at Kisha appreciatively.
"This amount I have, but there is something I forgot to inform you and others about. It’s about the price. Apparently, due to the limited number of resources and difficulty in finding them, the alchemist had doubled the price," with an apologetic expression which was completely different from how she was looking at Kisha a while ago, Diamond revealed the bad news.
In fact, it couldn’t be called bad news, to be exact. After all, there were still brands out there selling their creams at ridiculous prices.
The price increase wasn’t something that she thought on a whim. With the cosmetics laboratory opening this year, Diamond, who now could practice her alchemy in peace since she now owned a low-tier cauldron she was missing before, could sense the impending crisis she would be facing.
She wasn’t so good like whoever made those creams in the first palace. If she were to follow the recipe and make a cream which was almost identical to the ones the system was rewarding her with, how much money would she use to achieve that?
