"So this is the Alcoholic Beverage Generator?"

Yu Yuan studied the machine in front of him, curious.

He opened the Virtual Light Screen. The Alcoholic Beverage Generator had two modes.

The first followed the basic process: ingredient preparation → saccharification → fermentation → distillation → aging/blending.

Yu Yuan couldn't be sure.

The production list had no recipes for this mode, though. Apparently, synthesis required a dedicated recipe.

Yu Yuan took a slip of paper from the Rabbit Ring. He had found it earlier in Liberty Tower's bar.

He had collected plenty of both drinks at Liberty Tower.

One reason was that Zhou Yuan, the Vice President of the Black Rock Trade Association, liked alcohol. Yu Yuan had wanted to try making contact with him.

The other was that alcohol had always sold
