Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1061 Alchemy Project Progress

In general, the potions currently being researched are divided into seven categories: life, strength, agility, wisdom, skill, and focus and calmness. Each category targets different needs, and the bottle color and efficacy are clearly indicated.

Of course, in Lisa's heart, there is another category that is the top priority.

She smiled mysteriously and took out a bottle of purple potion from the box. The bottle was crystal clear and the liquid inside had a dreamy luster.

"But I guess the best-selling one will definitely be this, the purple charm potion!" She shook the bottle, her eyes full of confidence.

Qin looked at the mysterious purple color and subconsciously thought of the popular perfumes on the Fontaine market, those bottles and jars that could emit pleasant fragrance.

"Charm potion? Is it... something like perfume?"

"Oh, that's far from it." Lisa couldn't help but sigh twice when she heard it. She gently tapped Qin's forehead with her fingertips and said in a teasing tone, "The function is not that simple."

She held up the bottle of purple potion, shook it in the light, and explained, "It's not just a simple fragrance blessing."

"Drinking it can make one exude an indescribable charm from the inside out. It elevates one's temperament, makes one's eyes lively, and makes one's gestures relaxed... This kind of radiance from within is incomparable to perfume."

"Think about it, whether you're attending a banquet or negotiating with people, just a sip of this wine can instantly brighten people's eyes – don't you think it would be very popular?"

Lisa smiled like a cat stealing fish, obviously confident in her masterpiece.

Seeing Lisa's beaming face when she mentioned the charm potion, Qin asked in confusion, "Lisa, you seem particularly confident in this charm potion?"

"It's not like that, it's definitely true." Lisa nodded heavily.

"This kind of thing that can make people more beautiful is the easiest to spread in Teyvat. It will definitely be a best-seller!"

As she spoke, she took out another bottle of potion with an extremely unique shape from the box.

The bottle is a small heart-shaped one, and the liquid inside has a pink and purple glow, which is more ambiguous than the previous bottle.

Lisa held it, almost intoxicated.

"This 'special' version, in particular, is a true all-around tonic! It combines the benefits of charm, stamina, vitality, and focus—if a girl drinks it, her attraction to the opposite sex will skyrocket, and she'll even naturally exude a subtle body fragrance!"

She changed the subject and smiled even more mysteriously.

"It's a good deal for guys, too. It makes them look better in front of their female companions and gives them more energy. For middle-aged men... it even has the effect of revitalizing their virility."

"Puff——" Qin almost choked on her own saliva when she heard the last sentence.

The more she looked at the bottle of heart-shaped potion, the more she disliked it. Thinking of Lisa's explicit description, her cheeks instantly turned red, she subconsciously frowned, and her tone became anxious.

"Wait, why does this sound so weird? This... This sounds like some weird medicine! Lisa, we are the Knights of Favonius, we can't sell such shady things!"

When Lisa heard Qin equate her masterpiece with such a filthy thing, she immediately reached out and knocked on Qin's forehead, scolding him:

"What nonsense are you thinking? What Sugar, Timaus, and I painstakingly concocted are all legitimate alchemical potions, with their purity and formula rigorously calculated!"

She put down the potion, crossed her arms, and suddenly put on the tone of someone who had experienced it, and said:

"Qin, you are just too naive. You don't understand the little pleasures between husband and wife."

"When you reach middle age, you have to soak goji berries in a thermos. It's common for people to lose energy in middle age, but being able to regain some charm and vitality is a blessing that many people can't even ask for."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin's confused face, and suddenly felt that what she had just said was completely talking to a cow, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right. You've never even touched a man's hand. It's pointless to tell you this."

"Lisa!" Qin's pretty face flushed red, and her ears turned red. She said shyly and angrily, "Can you be more serious?"

Then, she took a deep breath, tried to ignore the embarrassing descriptions, and summarized according to her own understanding:

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just something like a health supplement? Then why are you saying all those weird things?"

"Tsk, that's not even close." Lisa clicked her tongue and immediately corrected herself:

"This isn't just a health supplement; it's a potion infused with the essence of alchemy! The effects and principles are vastly different, so don't confuse them."

Qin didn't want to dwell on the naming dispute between health supplements and alchemical potions anymore, so she asked seriously, "By the way, do these alchemical potions... have any side effects?"

No matter how effective the medicine is, if it has unpredictable side effects, spreading the news will only damage the reputation of the Knights of Favonius and even Mond, and may even lead to greater compensation troubles, which would be a waste of effort.

Lisa tapped her fingertips on the tabletop, recalling the data from repeated experiments with Sucrose and Timaeus, and gave an objective evaluation:

"A bottle of undiluted original potion will last for three days, but it must not be taken repeatedly, otherwise the properties of the different alchemical ingredients may counteract each other, causing problems."

She paused and added, "The diluted medicine will be less effective and last for a shorter time. It depends on the dilution ratio..."

"Does the diluted medicine have any side effects?" Qin asked closely, her eyes full of worry.

Lisa shook her head, her tone filled with professional rigor. "No matter how much the dilution is, as long as the efficacy is maintained, side effects cannot be completely avoided. The core issue is the incompatibility of the material properties."

"For example, if you drink a concentration potion right after drinking a strength potion, it may cause a disorder of the elements in your body."

"As for how long the side effects will last and what the specific symptoms are..."

Having said that, she spread her hands, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"This requires extensive testing to verify. Unfortunately, the experimental funding you provided, Qin, has long since run out, so we can't continue this research."

It's another funding issue.

Qin felt overwhelmed and her temples were throbbing.

Sure enough, money is not everything, but without money, you can't move forward.

She rubbed her brows and said in a deep voice, "Alright, once Liyue's loan is in place, the money will be allocated to you first. Then, Lisa, you'll have to take care of this alchemy potion project."

When Lisa heard that she had to "take the trouble" herself, she yawned immediately, leaned back in her chair lazily, and spoke in her usual evasive tone.

"Hey, why don't you let Albedo or Sucrose take charge? I'm just a librarian, I don't have the energy to deal with these trivial matters."

Qin looked at her lazy appearance and felt bitter in her heart.

Mondstadt's wine industry has been severely damaged, and its former economic pillar is crumbling. If new ways of making money are not opened up, let alone rebuilding churches and issuing knights' salaries, the entire Mondstadt may be doomed.

She sighed, her tone pleading, "Lisa, I know you've been working hard. But Mond is in need of people right now, so... just give them a hand."

Lisa was just saying it, but Qin took it seriously.

"Oh, I was just kidding. I'll definitely do my best in the early stages, but once the industry is established, that might not be the case anymore!"

……

Just as Jean and Lisa were discussing the pharmaceutical project, there was a light knock on the office door, and then Noelle pushed the door open and walked in.

She came back from the ruins of West Wind Cathedral with a light sweat on her forehead, but she looked very energetic.

"Captain Qin," Noelle stopped and saluted, reporting, "The venue for the pharmacy's trial operation has been prepared. We've chosen an open space outside Mond Bridge. This arrangement also makes it convenient to utilize the surrounding passages."

Because the Wind God had died, the remaining wind field remained as powerful as ever, nearly a month later. As a result, the northeastern part of Mondstadt had become a restricted area.

Therefore, the trial operation site for the alchemy potion could only be chosen on the open space outside Mond Bridge.

In this way, transportation can be more convenient and the news can be spread by more businessmen who come to Mond to do business.

Jean watched Noelle's clear and organized report, a gratified smile in her eyes.

During this period, Noelle was very busy, handling the chores of the Knights, helping to prepare for the market and clean up the ruins, but he never complained of being tired.

If Noelle hadn't helped share the pressure, Jean really wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Be thankful that I listened to Shao Yun’s advice... This little girl Noelle has a really promising future!

"Thank you for your hard work, Noelle." Jean's tone was filled with genuine gratitude.

"You've been incredibly busy lately. After a while, when Mond slowly gets back on track, I'll definitely give you a long vacation so you can have a good rest."

Hearing this, Noelle quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, this is what I should do. I'm happy to be able to contribute to Mond. As for the holiday... I'll leave it to Captain Quan Tingqin to arrange."

As long as he can help, Noelle feels that any hard work is worth it.
