Background / History

Coffee awakened in Bai Ran's right hand during his martial soul ceremony as a standard Luckin Iced Americano. Bai Ran initially considered it a disappointing food-type martial soul rather than the ice-attribute battle martial soul he had expected. Its printed Luckin logo, ice cubes, and coffee liquid nevertheless distinguished it from ordinary food-type martial souls from the outset 1 2.

The awakening official found that the ice cubes did not melt even after an afternoon in heat and sensed a trace of Ultimate Ice within them. Coffee was therefore treated as an unusual, possibly mutated beverage-type food martial soul 2.

Its first major development came from the Bobo Coconut Tree's ten-thousand-year sacrifice, which granted Raw Coconut Latte. Subsequent soul rings and cultivation milestones expanded Coffee from a refreshing drink into a varied menu of fruit coffees, combat-support beverages, fusion-enabling drinks, healing products, and conditional special blends 15 42 61 86 141 364 440.

As Bai Ran expanded Luckin Coffee beyond its original shop, qualified employees became able to condense coffee beans and independently prepare reduced-effect coffee. By Rank 70, Bai Ran had established ten branches, including shops serving human soul masters, soul beasts, and evil soul masters under the separate Bitter Ground Coffee brand 388 393 405 419 456.

Appearance

Coffee normally manifests as a cup of black iced Americano bearing the Luckin Coffee logo.

• The drink is packed with ice cubes that remain unmelted even in intense heat 2.
• Its base coffee is pitch-black, bitter, and faintly nutty in aroma 2 8.
• The ice carries a faint chill associated with Ultimate Ice 2.
• Later products vary substantially in color and presentation, including coconut-milk layers, fruit juice, floral elements, meteorite-like pearls, green matcha, and the blue-and-red layers of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Special Blend 15 43 87 141 364 440.
• The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Special Blend's upper layer is blue Ultimate Ice and its lower layer is red Ultimate Fire, allowing it to appear simultaneously iced and hot 440.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Beverage Production

Coffee can condense coffee liquid and ice cubes directly from Bai Ran's soul power, even before acquiring a soul ring 2.

• Produces Luckin Iced Americano as its base form.
• The base drink is bitter but refreshing and mind-clearing 2 8.
• Its effect weakens as the drinker's soul power surpasses Bai Ran's 2 59.
• Iced Americano can restore spiritual power, making it particularly valuable to Soul Engineers 69 70.
• Long-term consumption can slightly improve the soul power of drinkers below Bai Ran's level 61.
• Long-term consumption can also substantially improve spiritual power, as demonstrated by Huo Yuhao 46 262.

Cultivation Through Sales

Producing Coffee beverages consumes soul power and functions as cultivation for its food-type user 9.

• Every successful sale can permanently increase Bai Ran's soul power by a fixed percentage 70.
• Drinks consumed without payment do not count as transactions and cannot trigger this growth 134.
• Reaching each ten-level cultivation milestone can unlock further Coffee-related abilities or menu functions 42.
• Coffee-shop expansion increases the volume of sales available for cultivation; Bai Ran's ten branches maximized his growth rate at Rank 70, though further advancement would require substantially more branches 419.

Luckin Raw Coconut Latte

Granted by the Bobo Coconut Tree sacrifice, Raw Coconut Latte regulates elemental balance, expels impurities and toxins, and retains Coffee's refreshing effect 15.

• Removes poison-type negative effects.
• Long-term use can address hidden ailments, cleanse the marrow, refine the body, and improve aptitude 15.
• Has a 1% chance to purify bloodlines 15.
• Can trigger martial soul evolution in individuals with suitable latent bloodlines, as seen with Ma Xiaotao, Ye Guyi, and Xu Tianzhen 50 124 230.
• Its effectiveness declines sharply against targets vastly stronger than Bai Ran 59.
• High soul-power consumption limited Bai Ran to roughly ten cups at Level 15 15.

Fruit Coffees and Luckin Prompts

At Rank 20, Coffee unlocked prompts that allowed Bai Ran to develop additional menu items using fruit-type soul beasts 42.

• Fleshy Peach Coffee — heals minor injuries 43.
• Pomelo C Americano — grants basic illusion-piercing ability for 30 minutes 43.
• Fruit ingredients are limited by the output of the relevant plant-type soul beasts 45.
• Later employee-made fruit coffees included Pomelo C, Peach, Lemon C, and Apple C Americanos, though their added effects were weaker than Bai Ran's versions 393 394.
• A Lemon C Americano made by Bai Ran can provide 50% defense-breaking, whereas Wang Qiu'er's brewed version only reaches 10%–25% 394.

Luckin Orange C Americano

Unlocked through the Red Core Cataclysm's soul ring, Orange C Americano has regular and carbonated versions 61.

• Grants damage or all-attribute penetration; one documented version grants 40% penetration for ten minutes 226.
• Its effects apply to Soul Tools 61 226.
• The carbonated version adds Nuclear Orangefall, stacking bonus damage that culminates in a powerful explosion 61.
• Unlike Iced Americano and Raw Coconut Latte, it has no documented long-term hidden effect beyond encouraging a taste for the drink 61.

Luckin Floral Latte

Floral Latte applies a combat charm effect and offers cosmetic benefits 86.

• Each attack after consumption has a 20% chance to trigger charm.
• Charm is guaranteed after five attacks against the same target; Soul Tool damage counts as attacks 86.
• Triggered charm immobilizes the target for three seconds; severe spiritual-power differences can reduce this to one second 86.
• Long-term consumption whitens and nourishes the skin.
• First consumption increases charm by one point 86.

Employee Card

Coffee's Employee Card is an ability Bai Ran obtained after reaching Level 40 78.

• It can be used in an attempt to designate others as employees.
• It could not be successfully used on Meng Hongchen 78.
• Its interaction with Little Ice prevented Bai Ran from using Meteor Latte's temporary martial soul fusion with her 143.
• Employees who sign contracts can synchronize their cultivation with Bai Ran's level 405.
• Qualified branch managers can condense coffee beans using soul power and produce coffee independently 388 417.
• Employee abilities may also grant unique drink recipes or specialized coffee blends, such as Jiang Nannan's Evil Soul Master Special Blend 405 456.

Bean-Based Coffee Production

Employees qualified through Coffee's contract system can condense coffee beans from soul power, then roast, grind, and extract them into brewed coffee 388 393.

• Coffee brewed from employee-condensed beans initially possessed weaker invigorating effects than coffee directly condensed by Bai Ran 393.
• After refinement, brewed coffee could retain roughly 90% of the original invigorating effect, but lacked the original drink's spiritual-power enhancement 393.
• Bai Ran supplies coffee extract and ingredients for the main shop while employees handle much of the preparation work 456.
• Haji Rui and Gu Yuena jointly developed a Coffee machine based on Bai Ran's memories, providing a Soul Tool-based method for coffee preparation 448.

Luckin Meteor Latte

Meteor Latte is Coffee's fourth soul skill, produced after Bai Ran absorbed a Starcore Phantom Beast's brown soul ring 140 141.

• The fusion has a one-day cooldown 143.
• Long-term consumption may lead to a permanent Martial Soul Fusion Skill 141.
• Access was restricted through a membership system requiring the purchase of 99 cups of Luckin Coffee 155.
• When heated, its fusion effect can reach 150% of normal strength 186.
• Bai Ran's current Eye of Destiny bond restricts his own viable Meteor Latte martial soul fusion to Rui Xue'er 472.

Heated Coffee

Coffee's fifth soul ring enables hot versions of its drinks and strengthens their effects 170.

• Raises the original effect of a coffee by 50% 170.
• Soul spirit Xiao Zi can prepare hot versions of Coffee products, including Raw Coconut Latte and Orange C Americano 170.
• Hot Meteor Latte can achieve 150% effectiveness 186.
• Hot Floral Latte is described as tasting like rotten flower petals, while Hot Raw Coconut Latte is notably sweeter and richer 187.
• Prompt-created fruit coffees are not compatible with the heated-coffee ability 171.

Rui's Matcha

Rui's Matcha is Coffee's sixth soul skill, developed after Bai Ran fused with Gu Yuena as a soul spirit 364.

• A green drink intended for healing and pain management rather than spiritual enhancement 364.
• A hidden effect can raise the drinker's life level and significantly improve future combat potential, potentially even affecting gods 364 365.
• Its life-level enhancement has a low activation rate 365.
• It was not added to the general menu because it contains no coffee and had limited appeal to Soul Engineers 374.

Lovesick Heartbreak Americano

Lovesick Heartbreak Americano was gained when Bai Ran absorbed the shattered Lovesick Heartbreak Red alongside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's springs 440.

• Its effects are restricted to drinkers who are wholeheartedly devoted to love 440.
• Scumbags and gold diggers receive no enhancement and instead suffer backlash after drinking it 440.

Evil Soul Master Special Blend

Employees with the Evil Soul Master Special Blend trait can create Bitter Ground Coffee for evil soul masters 405.

• Retains 100% of Coffee's main effects.
• Reverses Coffee's original additional benefits into negative effects 405.
• For example, a Raw Coconut Latte equivalent can purify toxins while carrying a chance to reduce bloodline quality or aptitude.
• The negative-effect trigger rate can rise from 1% to 10% for evil soul masters 405.
• Bitter Ground Coffee's Iced Americano, Coconut Americano, and Orange C Americano were sold through Jiang Nannan's branch 410 411.
• Bitter Ground Coffee proved highly popular among evil soul masters despite its concealed drawbacks, selling 1,650 cups during its trial operation 412.

Trivia
