Chapter 66 has significant effects.
Wang Xiao looked at Wei Yan in front of him and finally agreed to his application.
"Alright, then Wei Yan will try. But if you feel unwell during the process, stop immediately and tell us, understand?"
Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Boss, can't you wish me well for once?"
"My life is meant to be spent following you in achieving great things; I can't just give it up so easily. Don't you agree, Chef Lu?"
Lu Ran rolled his eyes: "Come on, with your current skill level, you think you can do big things with the boss? I asked you to find someone to help me yesterday, and I don't even know where they are."
Lu Ran was still upset about Wei Yan's escape yesterday, even after a whole night.
When this was brought up, Wei Yan said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Lu, you can't blame me for this. There's no one left, really no one left..."
Lu Ran said irritably, "If there's no one else, don't you know you should come and help? It's all just an excuse! And yet I..."
Seeing that the two were acting strangely, Wang Xiao rubbed his forehead and said speechlessly, "Alright, you two can settle things privately later. Let's get down to business first."
"Lu Ran, be careful to control the dosage."
"Okay, boss."
After Wang Xiao spoke, the two men immediately became obedient.
Because the petals of the Night Abyss Rose are tightly connected, although they are much weaker than the vines of the Thorn Knight's main body in terms of both hardness and adhesion, for the sake of integrity, the best way for non-ability users like Lu Ran is still to use tools.
Lu Ran picked out a high-quality Night Abyss Rose and placed it on the clean cutting board. Then, he carefully cut off one of the petals with a knife, which weighed about 2g.
Lu Ran looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Then let's soak it in water first as you said, boss. After Wei Yan tries it, I will try it. If there are no major problems, then I will make some desserts or drinks based on the characteristics of this stuff."
Wei Yan said, "I have no objection."
Wang Xiao said while smoking a cigarette, "Let's begin."
"it is good."
Lu Ran placed the flower petals into a clean glass and began pouring in freshly boiled water.
The deep red petals slowly unfurled in the hot water, and the originally sweet floral fragrance became even more intense with the rising steam, yet it also gained a touch of refreshing and exotic aroma that invigorated the senses.
Wang Xiao noticed the strange fragrance almost immediately. It was this fragrance that slowed his actions a beat during his fight with the Thorn Knight.
Wei Yan, standing to the side, swallowed hard; it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
After all, this stuff came from that monster. Although his boss said it was edible, if anything went wrong, he could lose his life.
But the words have already been spoken, and it would be too shameful to back down now.
Wang Xiao noticed Wei Yan's nervousness and said, "How about I do it?"
Wei Yan shook his head and said, "No need, boss. The water just boiled, didn't it? I was thinking of letting it cool down a bit first, otherwise it wouldn't be good to drink it, would it..."
Hearing Wei Yan's flimsy excuse, Wang Xiao didn't say much. He wouldn't be leaving the hotel today, so he had plenty of time to deal with the hotel's backlog of affairs.
While Wei Yan was trying to prepare himself mentally, Lu Ran was carefully observing Ye Yuanmei's reaction in the water.
The water, which was originally transparent, turned into a bewitching deep red in the time it took to speak.
Just one petal was enough to turn 350ml of hot water into this state. If Lu Ran hadn't seen it with his own eyes and known where it came from, he would have thought that the petal was an industrial product made by adding a lethal amount of pigment.
About ten minutes later, the originally clear hot water had turned completely into a thick, dark red color, and the heat had dissipated considerably.
Lu Ran pushed the water glass in front of Wei Yan and said nervously, "Here, it's almost done and it's getting cold. Take a small sip first."
Wang Xiao also chimed in, "Pay attention to the changes in your body. The effects are most noticeable the first time you use this."
Wei Yan took a deep breath, picked up the water glass, and smelled it carefully.
The intensely sweet floral scent softened considerably when steeped in hot water, still carrying a hint of sweetness.
After figuring it out that it probably wasn't too bad, Wei Yan cautiously took a sip.
The warm liquid slid into his mouth, carrying an indescribable sweetness, without any of the strange or fishy taste he had imagined. Instead, it tasted like some kind of fine flower tea, with an excellent flavor.
Wang Xiao asked, "How is it?"
Wei Yan thought for a moment and replied, "It's quite sweet."
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides being sweet, that's all?"
Wei Yan nodded and said, "That's all."
Lu Ran urged, "Take another sip, drink more."
Under their watchful eyes, Wei Yan took a few more sips, closed his eyes to savor the taste for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't feel anything special for now, it's just... I think this water tastes pretty good, and I feel a little better after drinking it? Uh, I guess that's it..."
Upon hearing Wei Yan's answer, Wang Xiao frowned immediately. Impossible.
According to the information gleaned from the details, the effects should be quite noticeable for non-ability users after the first use. If it has no other effects, then wouldn't the Night Abyss Rose have no substitute value?
Wang Xiao said again, "Wei Yan, try it after you finish drinking it."
Wei Yan nodded, tilted his head back, and drank the Night Abyss Rose Water in his cup in one gulp.
However, the moment Wei Yan put down the cup, a warm sensation suddenly rose from his lower abdomen and quickly spread to his limbs, causing him to tremble slightly.
"Boss, there's a response!"
Wang Xiao and Lu Ran immediately tensed up, keeping a close eye on Wei Yan's changes.
Wei Yan closed his eyes, feeling the warmth coursing through his body.
After about ten seconds, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Boss... I feel like I've never felt so good."
As Wei Yan spoke, he stretched his hands and said, "I stayed up all night last night compiling statistics until 6 a.m., and only slept for less than four hours. When I woke up this morning, I felt weak and powerless all over, as if I had been given a 'dysfunction' label."
But after drinking that stuff... I felt like I had slept for a whole day and night, and I was full of energy, even my hands seemed stronger? I don't know if it was just my imagination.
Lu Ran frowned and said, "Are you sure it's not just psychological?"
Wei Yan shook his head and said, "It's possible that my strength has increased, but the feeling of my spirit being restored is definitely not like that. That feeling is too clear, it's like... like my whole body has been recharged."
Seeing that Wei Yan, who had just been listless, had suddenly become much more energetic, Wang Xiao remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Alright, Lu Ran, record the dosage: two grams dissolved in water. It will take effect in about ten seconds after drinking. The duration of the effect remains to be observed."
"Understood." Lu Ran immediately took out paper and pen to write it down.
Wang Xiao looked at Wei Yan: "How long do you think you can maintain this state?"
Wei Yan carefully assessed the situation and said, "It's hard to say right now, but I feel it could last for at least a few hours."
"Then let's observe first, and let me know after the effects subside."
After Wang Xiao finished speaking, his gaze fell on the remaining Ye Yuanmei on the cutting board.
"Lu Ran, please bear with me. Over the next two days, you will need to conduct tests based on different dosages and methods of consumption, and record all the data, including the effects, duration, and whether there are any side effects. Be sure to control the dosage. Each person should not exceed 20g per day, understand?"
Regarding manpower, Wei Yan, you contact Zhao Yajun and request that she conduct a very small-scale test among the survivors.
Both replied simultaneously, "No problem, boss. (Understood.)"
After arranging the follow-up treatment for Ye Yuanmei, Wang Xiao turned and walked out of the kitchen.
Every product must undergo multiple trials before it can be placed on the shelf.
As the hotel's first special product to be launched, it is naturally necessary to do it as well as possible.
After returning to his guest room on the third floor, Wang Xiao sat down in a chair, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.
The effect of Ye Yuanmei was even better than he had imagined. If it could really solve the problem of mental fatigue, it would definitely become a major feature of the hotel.
After all, in the apocalypse, besides the shortage of food and water, mental exhaustion is often the most tormenting thing.
Survivors not only face the threat of zombies, but also the pain of losing loved ones and friends, and the fear of not knowing how long they can live.
Even the strongest person will eventually break down under such high pressure.
The appearance of Ye Yuanmei can alleviate this problem.
Even if it's just temporary relief, it's enough to give those weary souls a chance to breathe.
Moreover, this thing can enhance a person's physique and strength, so it is indeed a good thing.
Wang Xiao exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a low voice, "Looks like I need to think carefully about how to maximize the profits from this."
