This Coffee... Has Strength!

Feiying gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Let's give it our all!

We can't let her expectations down!

Feiying picked up her coffee, closed her eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing her coffee, Feiying didn't speak. Instead, she gave a thumbs-up before opening her mouth.

"This coffee... gives me energy!"

As she finished speaking, Feiying seemed to have lost all her strength and ability, and fell into a sleep like a baby.

Actually, the body has detected harmful substances and entered a dormant disinfection mode.

"Himeko..." Sera looked at the fallen Feiying, somewhat curious.

What did you put in your coffee?

"Feiying's drink... had grapes, taro paste, crab, milk, and sugar in it!"

Himeko listed them one by one.

"Hmm... judging from Feiying's performance, this formula would be perfect as a sleeping pill!"

Himeko took out a small notebook and wrote a note next to the recipe.

[Miss Feiying fell asleep after drinking it; this drink is suitable for people who have trouble sleeping!]

After finishing her annotations, Himeko nodded in satisfaction and turned her gaze to Kiana.

Kiana looked at the coffee and swallowed hard.

"I... I want to drink too..."

"Right!"

Himeko nodded, blinking her eyes and looking at Kiana expectantly.

Kiana looked at her, unable to bring herself to say no.

So, Kiana tragically picked up a cup of coffee, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Kiana shakily put down the cup, forcing a smile onto her face.

"It's... delicious."

Really?!

"I remember this one was..."

Himeko flipped through the small notebook.

"Ah, found it! Use the Wish Power Powder to make herring soup, red bean paste, and coffee with chili!"

Kiana's forced smile froze; after hearing about the ingredients for the coffee, she felt a little like she was dying.

Sera silently applauded Kiana in her heart. She was too strong! As expected of our Roaring Sea of Quanta Fishy Cat, she easily withstood the coffee that Sera was already exhausted just from hearing its name.

Ruan Mei gently stroked the rim of the coffee cup with her fingers. Feiying and Kiana's behavior made her hesitate, but her curiosity made her want to give it a try.

In the end, Nguyen Mai couldn't resist her curiosity. She picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Even that usually aloof face furrowed at this moment. Ruan Mei calmed herself down and took a deep breath.

"This coffee has a... very unique flavor."

Look at that, no wonder he's a genius, he really knows how to talk!

Himeko was taking notes on Kiana's feelings when she heard what Ruan Mei said after finishing her coffee. She nervously walked up to her with her notebook in hand.

"Miss Ruan Mei, is there anything about this coffee that needs improvement?"

"Before sharing your impressions, could you tell me the recipe for this coffee?"

"Um..."

Himeko flipped through the notebook, and Ruan Mei fell silent as she looked at the words that flashed across it.

"This is... Tandiga Star Rings Mundane Candy Coffee, original flavor."

Ruan Mei felt that Himeko's coffee skills were comparable to Herta's cooking skills; one added all sorts of ingredients, while the other added all sorts of Curio.

Sera's cup is one that could be made normally, but she just happens to like researching new recipes.

I must say, they truly deserve the Trailblaze.

"I don't think this drink is suitable for ordinary people. After I drank it, I could feel a slight amount of toxins in my body."

"I see..." Himeko felt a little disappointed.

"This is clearly my proudest work, but it turns out it's cursed..."

After silently mourning for her lost masterpiece for a minute, Himeko turned her gaze to the next victim— Cyrene.

"Um... may I ask what's in this coffee?" Cyrene asked tentatively.

"I call this pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple coffee, and it's the original flavor!"

What a pity... There are so many kinds of pineapples in the universe, and I only managed to collect six kinds for this cup. Next time, I'm definitely going to collect 19 kinds of pineapples to make coffee!

"..."

Sera felt she had to do something.

"Himeko."

"What's wrong?" Himeko, her face showing confusion.

"Did you finish your coffee and want another cup?"

"No, it's not that. You know... some things are just called pineapples, but they're not actually pineapples?"

"Huh?"

"Did you include a pineapple from the Merope Nebula in your ingredients?"

"Yes, I have!"

"... Himeko, that's not a pineapple, and I don't recommend eating it."

"Okay... then I'll pass on this one."

Cyrene breathed a sigh of relief, gave Sera an approving look, and then took out the teapot to pour herself a cup.

An application pops up on the screen.

Sera checked who had sent the application so early in the morning.

Maybe it was Sparkle?

Sera was thinking about it, but when she clicked on it, she saw Yaoguang.

Well...

Sera was a little embarrassed; he had almost forgotten about Yaoguang again.

After the application was approved, Yaoguang's figure appeared in the surroundings.

Good morning, everyone!

Yaoguang saw the group and greeted them with a smile.

However, Feiying was still asleep on the sofa, Kiana didn't seem to want to talk much either.

Good morning!

"Morning."

Nguyen Mai remained concise and to the point.

Good morning, Yaoguang. What brings you here so early?

"...?"

Yaoguang felt helpless after hearing this.

Cyrene lightly punched Sera.

"I mean, it's too early now; the event doesn't start until tonight."

"Does my benefactor not welcome this humble woman?"

Yaoguang decided to learn from the Foxian senior, his face displaying just the right amount of grievance.

"No, I would love for you to come visit."

Sera was serious; he genuinely wondered why someone would arrive so early. Wouldn't it have been better to slack off and fish for a while?

"That's good."

Yaoguang sat down on the sofa, looked at the cups in the hands of the others, and then turned his gaze to a cup on the table that hadn't been touched.

"This cup..."

Yaoguang looked at Himeko's masterpiece.

"This is my creation, and no one has tasted it yet..." Himeko said regretfully as she saw Yaoguang mention it.

Yes, but...

Before Sera could finish speaking, Yaoguang picked up his coffee.

"Don't..."

Sera's pupils contracted, and she was about to stop her.

"Then I'll give it a try."

With a relaxed and contented smile, Yaoguang took a big gulp of his coffee.

The smile froze at that moment, Yaoguang mechanically lowered his head to look at the coffee.

"This..."

Before Yaoguang could collapse onto the sofa, Sera swiftly grabbed the coffee cup and placed it on the table.

Those who were still awake, except for Himeko, looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Herta came out of the room, looked at the two people lying on the sofa, and raised an eyebrow.

Is this some kind of performance art?

"No..."

Sera shook her head and spoke with sympathy.

"They both drank Himeko's coffee."

"You didn't drink?"

"Yaoguang an accident. Cyrene didn't drink the cup, but she drank it without knowing it, while everyone else drank it."

My drink was fine, it was normal, but the others' were...

Sera briefly described several of the ingredients for Himeko's coffee.
