Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Pills and Dishes
System: [Named successfully! The new potion [Xiaoyao Pills] has been entered into the Magic Continent potion encyclopedia. Creator: Lucky Star. Congratulations to the adventurer for developing his first new potion. You've gained 10,000 pharmacist experience points, +20 reputation with all factions, +100 reputation with Orlan, +200 reputation with the Wind and Rain Camp, and 1 gold treasure chest...]
"No... I just said it casually." Hearing this shameful name in the system broadcast, Tang Lier Kang's hand.
Xiaoyao Pills and the like...it's all her fault for being so bad at naming.
However, "it actually worked!"
Tang Li was overjoyed. She had been worrying about how to dilute the pill into medicine, but now it seemed she didn't have to think about it anymore.
The potion was successful, and it also unlocked the Staff of Life, which increased her spells and spell regeneration speed. What surprised her most was that she also gained reputation after a long time, especially the most precious reputation with all factions.
You have to know that the authorities are very stingy in this regard. Only when a certain goal is achieved for the first time can the corresponding reputation be obtained. Their gang was able to get the task of building a novice village because they had made their presence felt with the mayor of Silver Town and even Lord Solet.
Since the number of players in "Magic Continent" has increased, it has become very difficult to unlock new achievements. At least Tang Li hasn't encountered such a good thing for a while.
The harvest this time was so rich that it proved that all her efforts for so long were not in vain.
Tang Li couldn't let go of the freshly baked pills. Although she had made dishes with medicinal effects before, those were all small-scale dishes and could not compare with the properties of the pills in front of her.
She carefully put the three pills into her backpack and kept them safe. Although there was still room for optimization in the production process and the output was low, this was undoubtedly a milestone breakthrough, opening a new door for her independent research and development.
She had a hunch that after this experience, her next research on new potions would be much smoother.
With a full sense of accomplishment, Tang Li walked out of the laboratory, eager to find someone to share her joy at the moment.
Almost without thinking, she opened the private chat channel and found those familiar IDs.
Normally at this time they would have gone offline to rest because they couldn't express themselves clearly, but they are still online now. This is really fate!
Tang Li smiled slightly and was about to send out the edited message when she suddenly remembered that they had said they would open up new land in the evening.
"Will this disturb them?" Tang Li hesitated.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
It was already late at night in the game. Tang Li took a breath of the fresh night air. The cold breath rushed in, and it took a long time for her heated brain to calm down.
Xirang was still jumping around in the yard, and as soon as he saw her coming out of the laboratory, he immediately stuck to her.
Every time Tang Li saw this carefree little guy, she felt extremely soft inside.
"Xirang, baby, I succeeded!" She hugged the little guy.
"Chi!" Although Xirang didn't know what she was happy about, it didn't stop it from being happy with Tang Li.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Chi! Chi!"
We played in the yard for a long time late at night, thankfully there was no disturbance in the game.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Li finally suppressed her excitement and forced herself to fall asleep.
The next morning, she got up early and went into the laboratory to replicate the Xiaoyao Pills for more than fifty sets until the materials were used up.
"I should have left more honey yesterday."
Coming out of the lab just in time for most players to log in to the world.
With a bit of showing off in mind, Tang Li couldn't wait to post the attributes of Xiaoyao Pills on the gang management channel.
[Management of Fengyitongzhou] Lucky Star: Good morning everyone. I developed a new pill yesterday. The effect is a bit special. Please help evaluate it. It is [Xiaoyao Pill].
[Through thick and thin management] Lucky Star: Ahem, the name can be ignored.
[Management of Fengyitongzhou] MM: Good morning, Xiaoli. It’s rare to see you taking the initiative to speak in the group. Let me see what good news makes you so excited.
[Through thick and thin management] MM: Oh my gosh!
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] Qingtuan: I’ll go!
Hmm? What could have caused these two Jin Shou Wusu masters, who cherish their equipment, to lose their composure like this?
The curiosity of those who had just joined the group was aroused. They clicked on the properties of the pill curiously, and the originally calm management channel instantly exploded.
[Through thick and thin management] Benming Mantou: Oh my gosh!
Next is a neat row of exclamation marks.
[Through thick and thin management] MM: !!! The boss’s move is truly extraordinary (starry eyes).
This attribute is simply too scary. It can instantly restore 30% of double resources and also provide continuous healing. The effect is comparable to the combination of advanced instant healing potion + advanced mana potion.
It is simply the dream drug for magic professions.
Not to mention that it can also increase physical strength and physical strength limit. If used by a pioneering team, the efficiency can be improved by at least 20%, and additional physical strength resources can be saved.
It's simply too powerful.
MM said that Tang Li was usually such a low-key person, so why was she a little different today? Now she understood her very well, and she even felt that she was too humble.
If she had developed such an amazing potion, she would have dared to slap the gang leader now... ahem, okay, she would slap the deputy gang leader on the table and challenge him.
As for the curse at the end, MM doesn’t care at all. This is the boss’s characteristic. She is not used to it without the curse!
[Management of Fengyutongzhou] Qingtuan: From a business perspective, the value of this pill is extremely high. At least for now, there is no other similar item that can replace it.
[Wind and Rain Together Management] Benming Mantou: I don't know what to say anymore. All I can say is that our brothers in the regiment are itching to get their hands on some pills and start killing everyone. @LuckyStarBigBrother, can you make them in volume? We're going to pre-order a batch first!
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] God's Hand: Benming, you beast, isn't your group off to the Hive experience dungeon? We're the ones currently at the forefront of the new development. This pill is practically tailor-made for us. We're the first to pre-order it, boss!
[Through Wind and Rain Management] Suiyue Ruge: Boss, you're awesome! Don't compete with us for the two above. Our group has the most magic classes, and [Xiaoyao Wan] is definitely the best for us!
The remaining group leaders also spoke one after another, competing with each other in the group, and it looked very lively.
In addition to the teams that need to use the pills, the managers in charge of the daily life of the players are more interested in the potions themselves.
For example, since it was Yaoyao, not Yaoyao, who was just promoted to the position of pharmacy professional supervisor, people were very curious about why Tang Li made the pharmacy into the shape of pills.
She wasn't trying to be argumentative. The reason she asked this was because she had once imagined making the potion into a form that was more suitable for use in combat.
She had long been dissatisfied with the requirement to "unplug the cork first and then pour the medicine into her mouth" when using potions in battle, believing that this was not very efficient.
One way she had imagined was to make it into small particles that were easy to carry.
However, before she could try it, she found that swallowing small particles dryly was too difficult and few people could do it.
Later, she thought of many other ways, but they all had their own flaws. Finally, after much thought, she decided that the most convenient way was to drink a potion that could be gulped down in one gulp.
She wanted to know why Tang Li made the new medicine into the form of pills, and how she solved the problem of pills being difficult to swallow.
[Management of Fengyu Tongzhou] Lucky Star: What a huge misunderstanding. In fact, before the production was completed, I had no idea that the final product would appear in the form of pills [crying and laughing]. The final product became a pill entirely because of the fusion of Sunlight Wheat and Moonlight Wheat.
If you think about it carefully, there's actually a good reason for everything. The powerful healing effect, the increased stamina and the feeling of fullness all come from two types of wheat. Wheat can be ground into flour, and she also added honey to it. So, in the end, isn't that...
[Through Wind and Rain Management] It's Yaoyao, not Yaoyao: Is that really the case? Hahahaha!
[Through thick and thin management] Benming Mantou: Hahahaha, I thought it was the boss who did it on purpose, and I never dared to say anything.
I didn’t expect that the always reliable Lucky Star boss could be so cute.
[Through the Storm Management] Lucky Star: Ahem, stop laughing, there is honey added to the pills, you can chew them, it actually tastes pretty good, you shouldn’t have any trouble swallowing it.
She tasted one just now, and it tasted like a small candy ball that was slightly sweet and chewy.
If everyone cannot accept it, maybe she can try to extract the essence of sunlight wheat and moonlight wheat before making it, so that it can be made into the form of a potion.
However, in this case, it is hard to say whether there will be a full stomach entry by then.
Tang Li shared her ideas in the group.
[Wind and Rain Together Management] My Destiny Bun: Chewy Candy? That makes me interested!
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] Hand of God: Don’t change it, it’s so relaxing to chew something in your mouth while killing monsters, I support Yaowan!
[Management Team] Time is like a song: Me too!
Several team leaders also asked Tang Li to give them a few pills to try first. Only by trying them could they know which one they liked better.
This made Benming Mantou exclaim that these people were very cunning.
Tang Li was so happy that she actually gave a meatball to everyone in the group.
[Throughout the Storm Management] My favorite steamed bun: It’s delicious (chew chew chew), especially delicious (chew chew chew), it’s just too delicious (chew chew chew), I can’t stop eating it at all (chew chew chew), do you have any more, do you want to eat more?
I followed a group of people in the group +1.
Just like God's Hand said, chewing food while killing monsters is really relaxing. After eating the [Xiaoyao Pills], everyone turned to the pill version and had no interest in the potion version at all.
Looking at the heated discussions in the management channel and the various funny and boastful remarks about wanting to eat more, Tang Li couldn't help laughing.
This feeling of being recognized and needed made her feel warm and refreshed.
[Management of Fengyitongzhou] kk: The HR department is actively recruiting. Can we use [Xiaoyao Pills] as a promotional point when recruiting?
[Through thick and thin management] Lucky Star: It is possible, but it is not yet ready for mass production.
The output of Sunlight Wheat and Moonlight Wheat has increased a lot after the hard work over the past period of time, but honey can only be exchanged for the Banyan Beehive. Currently, there are only about 100 people in the gang who can play this game, and it is impossible to let all those who can play this game go to play it. People are also needed in the development of the new land.
[Management of Fengyu Tongzhou] MM: As for honey, the gang will issue tasks to purchase it. In addition, it can also be purchased from external players through camp tasks. The Magic Continent is so big, it is impossible that only the beehive can produce honey.
[Management of Fengyitongzhou] Qingtuan: Please come to me to claim reimbursement for the required contributions and supplies. We will calculate Xiaoli’s contribution and transfer it to you later.
[Through thick and thin management] Lucky Star: OK, you guys decide on these, I have no problem with it.
[Through thick and thin management] kk: Thank you, boss!
I wonder how popular such pills would be if they were taken outside. I think this time we can recruit a lot of outstanding talents for the gang. It would be so lucky to have such a big boss as the deputy gang leader in the gang.
After explaining the matter of the pills, Tang Li felt that she had accomplished something big.
She stretched and remembered that she hadn't been to the Doom Restaurant for several days. Since she had some time next time, she decided to go and have a look.
There is a main store in Baiyin Town and a branch store in Fengyu Camp. Tang Li plans to go to the main store first.
I tore open the return ticket and teleported to the door of the restaurant. The familiar aroma with the rich taste of food hit me in the face.
The store was crowded and more lively than before.
"Boss! The boss is back!" Tang Li hadn't been seen for a long time, and several old employees in the store came up to greet her.
Seeing this, the players also looked over and said, "Hey, Lucky Star Boss, long time no see."
"I missed you so much, Boss. Why did you move to another camp without saying a word? Fortunately, the Doom Restaurant didn't move, otherwise we would really cry."
"you do not say!"
Tang Li greeted everyone with a smile. There were players and NPCs here, and many of them were familiar faces. They had been her loyal customers since she was selling steamed buns at the stall.
Just from the fact that many of these people have obtained permanent attribute points in the store, we can roughly see how much they care about his store.
Tang Li was very grateful to these people and was willing to chat with them for a while and listen to their opinions and suggestions on the Doom Restaurant.
"Boss, you're back!" Aunt Tiger, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise and ran out.
"Yes, I came back to see if I could help you with anything." Looking at the impetuous Aunt Tiger, Tang Li felt a little guilty. She had been obsessed with researching potions some time ago, and almost everything in the store was left to her.
"Auntie Tiger, thank you for your hard work."
"I'm glad the boss is back." Aunt Tiger smiled innocently and brought Tang Li to the kitchen, saying a little embarrassedly, "The newly developed [Volcanic Lava] and [Psychedelic Fruit and Vegetable Salad] are currently the most popular new dishes in the restaurant. The adventurers all say they taste good. However, in terms of curse, even though they use the same ingredients, they are still a little different from yours."
"I'm so sorry I didn't learn your essence."
"...That's not necessary." There was nothing to feel sorry for. Tang Li looked over and found it absurd that Aunt Tiger actually believed this seriously.
Tang Li: “…”
Well, that's doom eatery.
She rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen, ready to help Aunt Tiger share some of the work, while also wanting to develop a few new dishes.
Using the ingredients she had on hand, she quickly developed two new dishes.
【Mysterious Phantom Soup】: Stamina +200.
[Dodge] Increases dodge rate by 5% after drinking, lasting for 15 minutes.
[Curse] After drinking, hallucinations will appear in your field of vision for 15 minutes. The content of the hallucinations is similar to mushroom poisoning.
【Thunder Wheat Sachet】: Physical strength +300.
[Agility] Increases agility by 10 points after consumption, lasting for 20 minutes.
[Curse]: After consumption, the next attack has a very low chance of triggering a weak electric shock, gaining the explosive head effect for 24 hours.
"As expected, it's the boss himself who's doing this. These curses are too powerful!" Aunt Tiger on the side exclaimed repeatedly.
If she were to develop it, the illusion would definitely not last for 15 minutes, not to mention the wonderful and fun curse of the afro, which she would not be able to trigger at all.
Tang Li: "..." Some compliments are really sad to hear.
Auntie Tiger can't wait for new dishes to join the menu.
"Wow, boss's new dish, the effect is so interesting!"
"Afro? Isn't that a free fashion?"
"Sure enough, it takes the big boss to take action!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait."
"Okay, right away!" Aunt Tiger greeted enthusiastically.
Soon, with the joint efforts of Aunt Tiger and Tang Li, new dishes appeared on the diners' tables.
"We're moving."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Soon, afros of various shapes appeared in every corner of the restaurant.
“Ahahahahahaha…”
"You're so funny!"
"You're still talking about me, aren't you the same? Hahahaha..."
The whole restaurant was filled with laughter.
"Hey? Why did the whole world become colorful?"
"How cool! Is this an illusion effect?"
"I never dreamed of creating such a beautiful and novel world. I feel like I've become an artist."
“Cool, cool, cool!”
Hearing the diners' excited feedback, Tang Li was stunned for a moment, feeling a little amused and helpless.
She asked why Aunt Tiger was so persistent in cursing, and the source of her emotion was here.
Seeing the diners being confused and at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry due to various debuffs, yet enjoying the food and even taking the initiative to challenge the more "difficult" dishes, Tang Li felt a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Is this the "ordinary" restaurant she wanted? It seems not ordinary at all, but full of life and joy.
Smiling and shaking her head, Tang Li left the restaurant and returned to the Fengyu Camp. Although the elf brothers and the little girl were not as experienced as Aunt Tiger, they supported each other and after more than half a month, they were on the right track.
"Boss, I heard you showed off your skills at the main store. Don't forget us."
"Okay, okay, okay..." Tang Li walked into the kitchen resignedly.
It wasn't until night fell and the diners gradually dispersed that she was finally able to take a break.
She subconsciously opened her friend list, wanting to see what Cibuduyi and the others were doing, but found that none of them were online.
It seemed like she hadn't seen them all day today. She looked at the group messages again and found that no one had replied to the message she sent in the group this morning.
She was a little curious, so she asked in the gang.
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] Lucky Star: Does anyone know if the gang leader and his team are online today?
[Wind and Rain Together Management] God's Hand: Xiaoli is looking for the gang leader and the others? We worked all night together to open the new dungeon [Shadow Caverns], but we got stuck at the fourth boss and died miserably. Then, it seemed like something happened and we all logged off?
[Management of Fengyutongzhou] Benming Mantou: Yes, yes, yes, I heard Li Zi complaining about that dungeon mechanism yesterday, saying that the dungeon mechanism was disgusting, and that Brother Ci and Brother Ju’s voices were almost hoarse from directing. I guess they were too tired, after all, opening up a dungeon is quite exhausting.
It turned out that he was tired from working all night to open up new land.
Tang Li closed the chat channel and felt inexplicably relieved, but also had an inexplicable feeling.
She shook her head, put aside this strange thing, and slowly walked home in the night.
