Chapter 377

There are not many things that Sucrose has researched.

And the only thing that is useful is the cold medicine.

However, the cold medicine needs to be improved.

Otherwise, no matter how effective it is, no one would want to take it.

Taking the recipe from Sucrose, Takumi left directly.

Looking at the formula and samples in his hand, Takumi thought for a while and decided to go directly to Diluc.

Let that Diluc guy handle production.

Ice Mist Flowers?

They are still difficult to cultivate.

Although there are many Ice Mist Flowers in the wild, growing them is quite challenging.

Takumi took the recipe given by Sucrose and went directly to Diluc's company headquarters.

Diluc was now focusing on Liyue.

He rarely returned to Mondstadt.

If something needed his attention, he would handle it remotely.

Moreover, there was nothing urgent that required him to be in Mondstadt.

He had even dispatched many people from Dawn Winery to work in Liyue.

Now, Diluc had completely shifted his focus to Liyue.

After all, exporting alcohol was a major business here.

When Takumi arrived, he easily found Diluc.

Seeing Takumi suddenly appear, Diluc was a little surprised.

"How do you have time to visit me?"

Diluc got up from his seat and gestured for Takumi to sit at the coffee table.

Hearing his words, Takumi smiled.

"I do have something for you."

"I have a formula here."

"You might be interested."

After saying this, Takumi took out the formula and samples Sucrose had given him.

Seeing what Takumi took out, Diluc was puzzled.

"What is this?"

"A new type of drink?"

This made Diluc very curious.

Takumi nodded.

"You could say that."

"It's from Sucrose. It's a very interesting creation."

"Try it and see."

Hearing this, Diluc immediately became interested.

Without hesitation, he picked up a bottle and examined it carefully.

It was ice cold to the touch, which surprised him.

Obviously, it had been frozen.

With deep curiosity, he opened it and took a sip.

Immediately, a strong cooling sensation filled his mouth.

It was like drinking a smoothie.

This amazed him.

Swallowing it in one gulp, he instantly felt an icy sensation spread throughout his body.

"Is this an Ice Mist Flower extract?"

Tasting this familiar yet unique flavor, he was intrigued.

Diluc knew Ice Mist Flowers well, but this taste was stronger than usual.

Hearing Diluc's words, Takumi nodded.

"Exactly."

"It's made by Sucrose."

"You could say it's a special variation of Ice Mist Flowers."

"The recipe is here, take a look."

"Originally, I asked her to develop a fever reducer."

"But she ended up creating this instead."

"Instead of treating fever, it directly forces the body to cool down."

"Hmm... something feels off about it."

"So I thought it would be better as a drink."

"Especially in summer."

"It should be quite refreshing."

"In fact, if you mix it with other ingredients, you might create new and unique beverages."

"After all, you don't even need to add ice."

Hearing Takumi's words, Diluc's eyes lit up.

This was a great idea.

Thinking about it further, he picked up the formula and studied it.

Reading through the notes, Diluc fell into deep thought.

"It is indeed made from Ice Mist Flowers, but it's a specially cultivated version."

"I just don't know if it can be grown in large quantities."

That was a major concern when trying to cultivate Ice Mist Flowers.

Harvesting them was another issue.

These details seemed to have been modified by Sucrose.

They needed to consult her.

"You should talk to Sucrose about this."

"She developed the formula."

"I think you should have no problem working with her."

"After all, she's always in need of funding for her research."

Takumi was only here to make the connection.

If Diluc was interested, he could discuss the details with Sucrose.

Hearing Takumi's words, Diluc nodded.

"Alright."

"I'm definitely interested in this formula."

"If we can mass-produce a drink from it, it might sell really well."

He saw the potential in this recipe.

It was a great idea.

Especially in summer, this would definitely be popular with the public.

The two continued chatting for a while, shifting to other topics.

Diluc's cola was selling very well.

It was even slightly in short supply.

Fortunately, he now had an automated production line.

His factory was expanding—not just in Mondstadt but also in Liyue.

Now that Takumi was here, Diluc brought up the idea of building a factory in Liyue.

Takumi immediately supported the idea.

As for the land, that was a simple matter.

He could allocate a piece of land for the factory whenever needed.

After spending some time at Diluc's company, Takumi left.

Leaving the company, he made his way to the pier.

At that moment, Beidou's ship was being loaded with cargo.

The containers were almost full, indicating she was about to set sail.

Most of the goods were already on board, but some were still being loaded.

Several cranes were busy at work.

When Beidou saw Takumi, she laughed.

"Takumi, did you see this?"

"How much cargo there is!"

"One trip now is worth several trips before."

"It's amazing."

Beidou was clearly excited.

Just looking at the cargo made her eager to set sail.

Hearing Beidou's words, Takumi nodded.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?"

If they worked overnight, they could set sail by morning.

Beidou nodded.

"That's right!"

"We're leaving tomorrow."

"First stop, Inazuma to unload some cargo."

"Then we head to Fontaine, then to Sumeru."

"Finally, we return to Liyue."

"As for Natlan and Snezhnaya, we'll figure that out later."

"Especially Snezhnaya—our relationship with them isn't great right now."

"If I sail there, they might seize my ship."

She pouted as she said this.

The Fatui had attempted to assassinate the Geo Archon, and that matter was far from resolved.

So, she wasn't planning to visit Snezhnaya anytime soon.

Hearing this, Takumi smirked.

Indeed.

The situation was still complicated.

After all, the Fatui had taken on a huge responsibility.

To be honest, they were probably still feeling the pressure.

Now, Fatui operations in Mondstadt and Liyue had almost completely disappeared.

Their mission was accomplished, so they had abandoned these regions.

As for Inazuma, the Fatui still had a presence there.

Takumi wondered how things would unfold when Raiden Shogun returned.
