Production Failure

After calming down, Xinhai began his first attempt. He opened the feed port at the top of the Berry Blender and, following the recipe's order, put in a Cheri Berry first.

He pressed the start button, and a low, steady hum came from inside the machine.

The machine began crushing the Berry into pulp, destroying its physical structure so that its nutrients could be fully released, laying the groundwork for the subsequent extraction.

Once the Cheri Berry had been crushed, Xinhai added Spirit-Eye Herb and ground it up, then added a Pecha Berry for crushing. The Spirit-Eye Herb served to neutralize the energy conflict between the two Berries. After that came the Chople Berry, Jade Herb, Golden-Scaled Herb, Oran Berry...

The order of addition could not be changed either. Otherwise, the crushed pulp and herbal powder would repel one another, which would not only affect the later steps but could directly lower the finished product's quality or even cause the process to fail.

Under Gardevoir's Psychic-type observation, all the ingredients were crushed. The mixing chamber had become a slightly chaotic-looking but evenly textured liquid mixture.

Xinhai pressed the "Residue Drain and Rinse" button on the machine, and a small filter opening on the side of the mixing chamber opened.

He picked up the measuring cup beside him and slowly poured about 100 milliliters of Purified Water into the chamber.

The machine began running softly again, using internal water flow and centrifugal force to discharge the remaining, unextractable solid residue through the filter opening.

From the small pipe connected to the side of the machine, some murky water containing color and fine particles flowed out at first. But after only a dozen seconds, the stream became clear and transparent.

Seeing this, Xinhai immediately stopped adding water and shut off the rinsing
