Alex returned back to the city of Many Flowers a couple of days later just in time for his quad-annual pill-making week.
Since he had planned for this before he left, he was here in time for it.
Alex handed over the various pills list and what they did to the association so that they could start a marketing campaign for him where the people would know exactly what pills they were getting.
The people had been starving for his pills, so when they realized he was back, they hopped onto the opportunity to get some pills.
However, they realized that something weird was happening this time around as the association announced that they wouldn't be buying pills this time around.
The confusion only lifted after the association revealed that there were only 100 different pills that could be made, and thus 100 different spots would be auctioned off, which was the only way to get your pills.
