I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 15, Second Lottery Draw: Suleda Sumeru Edition.

31 points of favorability, and this is only the first day we've known each other.

To reach this level of liking after knowing each other for only one day is quite fast.

This shows that Farussan truly admires herself.

Originally, Chen Bo planned to bind with Tina, but this task was one that could be repeated.

Binding Farusan does not affect binding Tinari.

What's there to hesitate about?

"Bind." Chen Bo silently recited in his mind.

【Ding! 】

[Binding successful.]

[Task 3: Expand your network (Completed)]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your first networking task.]

[Rewards being processed...]

[Rewards: 100 freely allocable subject experience points, 100 points, and one chance to win a prize.]

[Bonus rewards, probability adjustments: Drop rate of junk items reduced from 95% to 9.5%, random item creation probability increased from 5% to 90.5%]

Another technological marvel is coming! Take off! Take off!

We now have two opportunities.

One was from a lottery draw I accumulated this morning after running five kilometers, and the other was from completing task three.

Of course, the probability of winning in the running prize pool is only 1%.

The real highlight of this mission is the prize draw.

"Let's try our luck with that trash can first."

The starry sky appeared before Chen Bo.

Then, a white dot of light fell and entered Chen Bo's hand.

White, that's garbage.

It's 99% likely to be garbage, no surprise at all.

Then, a white light appeared on Chen Bo's screen.

Congratulations on obtaining: Blueprint for "Sulcata Recipe (Special Edition for Sumeru)"

[Item Description: Developed specifically for Sumeru babies. The system believes that a country without sparkling water is incomplete, especially in the scorching rainforests and deserts. What do you think?]

[Note: This product has been improved based on available raw materials in Teyvat, resulting in an excellent taste that will leave you wanting more.]

Sulfa?

Sulfa is the pinocembrane version of Coca-Cola.

Fontainebleau seems to have a similar place called Fontainebleau.

Chen Bo had never drunk Sulphur or Fontainebleau, but he had drunk Coca-Cola.

No matter how many drinks a store carries, sparkling water is always a timeless classic.

And Coca-Cola is a classic example of sparkling water.

This looks like an optimized version of the recipe.

Specially made for Sumeru babies.

Whether Coca-Cola or Pepsi tastes better is a matter of opinion.

However, for Sumeru Baby, the version provided by the system is definitely the most suitable.

Sumeru will also have its own exclusive sparkling water.

If we could mass-produce the Sumeru version of Sulda, we could probably make a lot of money.

It seems that this lottery-based garbage sorting system might not be useless after all; garbage sorting is just not a high-tech invention.

He then started the second lottery draw.

This is the highlight: a 90.5% withdrawal rate.

The stars twinkled again, this time shining much brighter than before, a golden light!

Perfect, perfect.

If there's a 90% chance of not getting any gold, then that's really frustrating.

Fortunately, the money was withdrawn.

Once the golden light fades, the reward appears on the screen.

Chen Bo found the reward somewhat familiar.

Isn't this a learning pill?

[System Introduction: Developed by Stephen Lloyd, the 84th member of the Genius Club, this system can significantly enhance learning efficiency. Upon the second use, memory and comprehension abilities will increase to four times their current level. The effect will diminish after 48 hours, but memory and learning abilities will still receive a permanent boost, doubling their current value.]

nice one.

With both memory and comprehension abilities improved tenfold, Chen Bo's learning speed increased by dozens of times.

It seems that the second dose had a different effect, and the instructions have also been adapted.

If we say that your initial memory and comprehension abilities were both at a base score of 10.

So, upon first consumption, within 48 hours, one's memory and comprehension abilities will both increase to 100. Afterward, they will gradually decrease, but will receive a permanent boost. Eventually, both values ​​will stabilize at around 30.

Now, the second dose of the learning pills.

The base value is 30.

The multiplier decreases with each increase, meaning the effect can only be increased four times during its duration, which is up to 120.

After 48 hours, the attribute gradually decreased and eventually stabilized at 60.

The second time I used it, my peak performance was even stronger than the first time.

There's still room for improvement, but the increase is smaller.

Good stuff, really good stuff.

However, now is not the time to use it.

Good steel should be used where it's most needed.

Chen Bo decided to take this learning pill after encountering a difficult topic.

Chen Bo then turned his attention to the formula for Sulfa.

The formula alone is not enough; the soul of Sulfa sparkling water lies in the gas, namely carbon dioxide.

Most of the ingredients in the recipe are very common: spice fruit extracts, date palm syrup, and several herbs unique to Sumeru.

The only challenge lies in the bubbles.

That is, high-purity carbon dioxide.

Can I buy high-purity carbon dioxide directly in Xumi?

Chen Bo recalled that the teacher had mentioned it in chemistry class.

Carbon dioxide can be produced by calcining limestone.

Simply put, it involves burning limestone (calcium carbonate) at a high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius, which decomposes it into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

Calcium oxide, also known as quicklime, is a high-quality building material.

The rest involves collecting carbon dioxide, pressurizing it, and injecting sugar water.

It seems that carbon dioxide is also frequently used as a refrigerant.

Chen Bo searched the void again.

Suddenly I realized that liquid carbon dioxide is the refrigerant commonly used in biochemical alchemy experiments.

However, I haven't learned alchemy yet.

In other words, producing the Sumeru version of Sulcata shouldn't be a problem.

However, there should also be a localized name for Sumeru.

Why not name it after the Little Lucky Grass King, and call it Lucky Drink?

Besides, I'm focused on academics and can't afford to spend too much time on business.

In the future, I will definitely obtain more and more mass production blueprints.

Perhaps we can transform Sumeru into an even larger city of technology.

Drone delivery, mechanical prosthetics, elemental weaponry.

Therefore, someone needs to manage the business activities related to these technologies.

In other words.

I need an industry partner.

A person with connections, who knows how to make money, and who is good at marketing.

Dolly!

Dolly can definitely handle this!

Dolly is a natural businesswoman.

Thinking of this, Chen Bo immediately said goodbye to Farusan: "Senior Farusan, I have an appointment with a classmate at noon, so I'll be leaving now."

Farusan nodded: "Okay, just remember to study the books I recommended when you're done."

Chen Bo readily agreed: "I will remember, Senior Farusan."

Chen Bo then immediately went to try making Sulphur.

Before discussing things with Dolly, of course, you should let her see the finished product first.

Fortunately, the materials for Sulfa are also very cheap.

Next up is carbon dioxide.

However, the price of this liquid carbon dioxide is really high in Xumi.

Liquid carbon dioxide is mainly used for alchemy in Sumeru. The output is low, and the production method is not the same as burning limestone. We must find ways to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

It is best to obtain carbon dioxide by burning limestone.

Quicklime, another byproduct of burning limestone, is an important building material, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct, costs almost nothing.
