I'm the Doctor of [Imaginary Tree and Sea of Quanta Studies]!

Listen to advice and you'll eat your fill. Although Zhongli is very familiar with the food, drink and entertainment in Liyue, she still needs to listen to Chen Luo's opinion when she arrives in an unfamiliar environment.

"The Wind God's Liquor and Geo Archon's Liquor that Venti mentioned are mass-produced concept wines. Although they taste good and can indeed have some effects, are you interested in taking a strong dose the first time you drink them?" Chen Luo tried to entice Zhongli to make a big request.

"Oh?" Zhongli seemed genuinely interested in this.

"Would you be interested in making drinks with the Gnosis?" Chen Luo asked as he took out a Gnosis from his backpack.

"Hmm?" Zhongli frowned as he looked at the Gnosis in Chen Luo's hand.

From a purely rational perspective, Zhongli, the Geo Archon, is certainly no stranger to the Gnosis, and today Zhongli personally handed the Gnosis to the Lady.

Therefore, Zhongli was undoubtedly somewhat surprised that a Gnosis appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

Of course, it would be fine if this were just a toy, but Zhongli could sense that this thing, which looked exactly like the Gnosis, contained the power that belonged to the Gnosis.

In short, this is the real deal.

"Ah, Zhongli, don't worry about it. This is just a fake, a fake that can only exist for 10 minutes. But within those 10 minutes, it is the real Gnosis and can exercise the powers of the Gnosis. So, are you interested in grinding this into powder and having me concoct a Divine Wine that can have its effects for 10 minutes?" Chen Luo asked, tossing the Gnosis in his hand.

The Gnosis that Chen Luo obtained from the reward can only last for 10 minutes. However, after thoroughly studying it, he can not only use the Void Archive copy it, but also extend the duration of its effect as much as possible. It's just that the longer the duration, the more Honkai Crystal it consumes.

So just 10 minutes is enough.

Any more than that, and we'll be spending more than we earn.

"Wait, why have you never told me about this amazing thing?" While Chen Luo was waiting for Zhongli's reply, Venti became a little anxious.

If you had something this good and didn't share it sooner, are we still friends?

"Ah, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Chen Luo asked after hesitating for a moment.

"I want to hear them all."

"The lie is that you, as a free Wind Spirit, have been agile for thousands of years, but you still have enough things you care about in your heart. In short, your Erosion is not serious enough, but Zhongli is different. So the other party needs a strong medicine. Of course, a strong medicine also means that you can't drink this stuff often, only occasionally to adjust." Chen Luo placed the Gnosis on the table and pushed it towards Zhongli.

Chen Luo knew that Zhongli would definitely be very interested in this thing.

"Then what's the truth?" Although Venti still felt that Chen Luo's lies made a lot of sense, that's precisely why Venti wanted to know what the lies were.

"Well, the lie is... I forgot."

"Forgot? What do you mean by 'forgot'?"

"I forgot, that's all. I forgot I could use the Gnosis to mix drinks," Chen Luo said innocently.

To be honest, before obtaining this 10-minute limited edition Gnosis, Chen Luo had completely forgotten that he could replicate a Gnosis that could only last for a short period of time for use in bartending.

Honestly, the Gnosis is so precious, who would use it to make cocktails? Even Venti himself didn't think of it.

How could you make things difficult for Chen Luo to remember this?

"That's a very typical explanation of yours," Venti said, her voice filled with mixed emotions.

"Yes, I can feel that this is indeed the true Gnosis. Regardless of whether what you said about it only lasting for 10 minutes is true or false, it seems to me that it is real enough to fool people." After examining the Heart Gnosis for a moment, Zhongli returned it to Chen Luo.

Zhongli didn't want to delve into why Chen Luo was able to obtain the Gnosis, because it was up to the other party to decide whether to say it or not, and the key point was that Zhongli himself couldn't force him.

Putting that aside for now, Zhongli is experiencing the people's sentiments with the heart of an ordinary mortal.

Even if Morax were to take action given his status and strength, it remains to be seen whether he could defeat his opponent.

Therefore, Zhongli chose not to investigate further.

"So, would you like a drink?"

"Of course." Zhongli nodded.

Zhongli has seen all sorts of grand occasions, but he has never seen anything like mixing drinks with the Gnosis.

After all, even Zhongli, who didn't care about the Heart Gnosis, knew its importance.

Although Zhongli usually prefers tea, he is not unfamiliar with Zhongli alcohol, but he is different from Venti, who is a drunkard.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Divine Wine]: Give Geo Archon Morax, a drink made with the Geo Archon's Gnosis.

Reward: 100 Primogem

Difficulty: Two stars

Chen Luo didn't comment too much on the reward. In fact, the reward was indeed a little less than what Chen Luo had put in, but if it was really this price, Chen Luo confident that he could bring the other party a great success or even a huge success.

After putting the Gnosis that Zhongli had returned into his backpack, Chen Luo, under Zhongli's questioning gaze, took the half-formed Honkai Crystal next to him, crushed it, and poured the pure Honkai energy into the Void Archive.

As the Honkai energy gradually dissipated, two Gnosis, each radiating a strong sense of their own presence, appeared before Chen Luo. One was naturally the Geo Archon's Gnosis, and the other was the Anemo Archon's Gnosis.

"Oh, am I included too?" Venti was slightly flattered when she saw the Anemo Archon's Gnosis.

"What? Don't you want to try some?"

"Of course I want to!" Upon seeing the Gnosis, Venti immediately downed the glass of wine in her hand.

Although he had just drunk a cup of wine made with the Archon's Remains, Venti wouldn't mind having another cup made with the Anemo Archon's Gnosis. After all, when it comes to alcohol, Venti will drink as much as he's offered.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

The Divine Wine

Reward: 200 Primogem + Venti's Affinity Increase by 10

Difficulty: Two stars

Look at this, this is the reward that the Divine Wine should give.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two gods, Chen Luo personally used his special power to grind the Gnosis held by the two gods into powder, and then put them into two cocktail bottles to start mixing drinks.

A short while later, Chen Luo placed two glasses of wine of different colors on the table.

"Please try this, but it's best to drink it quickly, as the effects only last for 10 minutes," Chen Luo said, pushing two glasses of wine toward the two men simultaneously.

Venti and Zhongli exchanged a glance, then raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank their drinks in one gulp.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete, mission a great success! Primogem reward doubled, Zhongli's favorability +10]

The first one was Venti's reward, and the second one was naturally Zhongli's reward. Although it wasn't a huge success, it left Chen Luo slightly disappointed.

However, to be fair, the money you can make from these Primogem is much faster than working yourself to the bone to complete tasks, but unfortunately it can't last.

After all, even if the food is good, you'll get tired of it if you keep eating it. For example, Yuyuko used to give 100 Primogem every time she ate the Judgment Time, but now she only gives 90.

And that's still considered good.

A cup of Venti's Venti Wind God's Liquor used to cost 80 Primogem, but now it's down to 50.

Prices are dropping faster than inflation.

Because Chen Luo recklessly tried to quickly extract Primogem from the other party, he got his comeuppance. Sure enough, he should have kept the other party's appetite dangling and occasionally offered a drink; otherwise, the price wouldn't have dropped.

Or develop new products, such as the true Divine Wine.

The intensity of a person's desire is inversely proportional to the frequency of fulfilling it. The more times a person receives their desire, the less pure their desire becomes. This can be seen as a different kind of "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment."

Of course, the other party won't hold a grudge against Chen Luo, but they will lower their expectations a little for something they used to like to drink, which is something that can't be helped.

The easier something is to obtain, the less it is valued. Although this is human nature, Chen Luo still plans to give Venti and Zhongli this kind of wine at most once every three days.

Don't blame me for being too cruel.

This is already Chen Luo's bottom line.

However, as everyone knows, Traveler have no bottom line.

If the other party gives too much, then pretend Chen Luo didn't say anything.

After all, the purpose of a bottom line is to be lowered.

Unless it's a matter of moral bottom line.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

Chen Luo glanced at the two gods who were closing their eyes as if they were having some kind of enlightenment, hesitated for a moment, then greeted Raven and walked out of the bar.

"Mobius, you're here." After watching the other person walk straight to a secluded corner of the bar, Chen Luo, holding a glass of wine, approached him.

I don't know if it's because the people who come to this bar are all sorts of strange people, but a rather strange phenomenon has emerged in this bar.

That is, there were far more people huddled in the corners than in the main area, making it look nothing like a proper bar.

"Hmm, what are you doing here? Are you here to tell me again that you don't have time to come to my lab tomorrow?" Mobius took the glass of wine from the other person and rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

In Mobius's view, Chen Luo's unsolicited kindness was either malicious or thieving.

"Hmm? A non-alcoholic beverage?" Mobius after taking a sip of the drink.

"You're not a big drinker, so I changed it to a non-alcoholic beverage for you. And I didn't come here to tell you I didn't have time to go tomorrow; I came to tell you I'll be there on time tomorrow," Chen Luo explained.

Chen Luo thought to himself that he had already stood the other party up for many days, and he was too embarrassed to stand them up again. Since he didn't have anything to do tomorrow, he could go to the Previous Era.

Of course, there's also the fact that the other party has already issued a request, and Chen Luo has to go for the sake of the Primogem.

"Oh? That's quite unexpected." Having gotten used to Chen Luo's own Mobius, she was slightly surprised when she heard that Chen Luo would be coming to her lab tomorrow.

You actually know how to come, huh?

If you don't come soon, there won't be a place for you in the lab.

Chapter 387 [Research on the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum] I am the Doctor!

"Haha, I really meant it before. I just didn't have time, that's why I couldn't go. Of course I'll go when I have time. When have I ever lied to you?" Chen Luo laughed awkwardly.

"You've been lying to me all along. You've kept saying, 'I'll definitely go to my lab tomorrow,' but you haven't actually gone yet," Mobius said, glancing at Chen Luo.

"Ahem, when have I ever lied to you, except for this matter?"

"Oh, you said that yourself. Since you said you wouldn't lie to me, then tell me, do you prefer the current me or the me of that memory?" Mobius rested his chin on his hand, looking at Chen Luo with great interest.

"To be honest, I don't even know what kind of work I'll be doing in the lab..." Chen Luo, a complete novice in the lab, asked.

Chen Luo did not deceive Mobius, but Chen Luo could have chosen to change the subject.

"Tch. You don't need to do anything, just cooperate with me and do the experiment properly."

"Uh, experiment on me?" Chen Luo asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's a good suggestion. I agree." Mobius nodded in strong agreement.

"No, I mean don't study me." Chen Luo quickly shook his head.

"Hmph. Then why are you asking? Since you possess something like the Void Archive, if you study it properly and combine it with the scientific knowledge you learned from me through strange means, you'll be more than qualified to be a research assistant."

Although the Void Archive were created using the First Herrscher Core, Void Archive were the last to be created. However, the Memory Mei Biu Si seemed quite familiar with them, casually mentioning them to Mobius.

The Void Archive contain all the knowledge of the entire Previous Era, including but not limited to information on each Herrscher, data on the Divine Key, and how to use them.

It crammed in almost everything that could be crammed in during the Previous Era.

Hmm, you asked why Otto, despite possessing the Void Archive, doesn't know much about the Moonlight Throne and hasn't used any other forms of Otto Divine Key that he himself hasn't seen?

LOL, you need to understand the permissions.

The Void Archive encompasses everything, including information on the Divine Key and the Moonlight Throne.

However, the Void Archive do not grant Otto indexing permissions.

Imagine searching for a book in a library, but finding no index or cover, and having to slowly flip through each book one by one—that's how Otto felt.

Speaking of research, if you ask Mobius to be honest, Mobius really wants to study Chen Luo carefully, but Mobius knows Chen Luo won't agree.

But don't panic. Once the other party arrives at your lab, whether they agree or not is no longer up to them.

However, according to his future self, Chen Luo's ability to escape is exceptional, so this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

"Ah, speaking of research assistants... is it possible for a lab to have two the Doctor?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Luo really doesn't know much about this.

"Logically speaking, having a few more the Doctor in a lab shouldn't be a problem, but I don't need those useless the Doctor who are just good for nothing. What's wrong?" Mobius asked.

"Ah? I see..." Chen Luo fell into deep thought after hearing Mobius's words.

Those who graduate with the Doctor have some real skills to them, after all, they have studied for so many years, they would not be able to graduate if they did not have some real ability.
