Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 58 Vitality Drink. Mango Flavor
  After coming out of the ceramics shop, Bai Zhen went to the grocery store non-stop to buy the honey and nitrocellulose mushrooms he needed.

Because it was an experiment, Bai Zhen bought the cheapest honey and nitrified mushrooms. He spent a total of 1000 gold and purchased 50 vitality drinks. I also bought 50 bitter insects for a total cost of 500 gold.

In addition, I also purchased some unique bamboo shoots, poultry meat and dragon bones from Yanhuo Village, which cost another 200 gold.

Back in the Pokémon world, it was already 4pm.

Bai Zhen came to the kitchen to prepare a vitality drink.

The formula of the vitality drink is made from nitrocellulose and honey in a certain ratio.

This mushroom is very special. It can be mixed with gunpowder to make explosives.

It's a very dangerous material.

Bai Zhen recalled the coordination and cooperation taught by Huo Ya last night.

One part nitrocellulose, two parts honey, then add three parts water, put it into a container and stir for ten minutes.

The production method is very simple, and you don’t even need to do the final stirring for ten minutes. Simply put it into a bottle with a stopper and shake it like crazy to mix, which can have the same effect.

Stirring is just to make the two materials more fully mixed, and also to make the vitality drink taste better.

On the operating table, Xie Mi lay aside, curiously looking at the large amount of ingredients Bai Zhen bought, and asked, "Are you going to make something delicious?"

"No, I'm going to make drinks."

The first vitality drink, Bai Zhen, strictly followed the hunters' mixing method and made a drink without using his own cooking skills.

After getting the finished product, the information about the vitality drink appeared in Bai Zhen's mind.

[Vitality drink (rarity 1) - non-cooking. Made using low-grade nitrified mushrooms and honey. It can restore physical endurance, and even sleepiness can be swept away. 】

Bai Zhen took a sip of his vitality drink.

Because it is blended with honey, it tastes very sweet, but it contains some muddy smell of nitrocellulose. When combined with the sweetness of honey, it always has an indescribable weird feeling.

Overall, it doesn't taste good.

Bai Zhen divided the remaining half bottle of vitality drink between Xie Mi and Tan Xiaoshi.

The feedback from both Pokémon was that it didn't taste very good, but it was edible enough.

Bai Zhen felt the effect of the vitality drink carefully.

In effect, it is refreshing enough and has a good effect on eliminating physical fatigue, but it does not speed up the body's repair, which is a pity.

For example, if you drink a bottle after training in the evening, Bai Zhen will not feel tired, but the physical pain will still exist.

Two ingredients for vitality drinks.

Honey has high nutritional value and can increase the recovery effect of recovery medicine; nitrocellulose contains high temperature and is the main ingredient for refreshing.

Bai Zhen cut off a small piece of the root of the nitrified mushroom. After confirming that it was non-toxic, Bai Zhen put it in his mouth and tasted it.

This little bit of nitrified mushroom root tastes like eating heated soil, and because of its characteristics, it even tastes a little hot to the mouth.

Bai Zhen tasted the cap part again. The fishy smell of this part was nothing compared to the root part.

Bai Zhen thought for a while and planned to process the nitrified mushrooms first to get rid of the fishy smell inside.

He removed the worst-smelling part at the root and washed the rest.

Then Bai Zhen crushed the mushrooms into powder, added a little bit of blue mushrooms and mixed them.

Blue mushrooms are a very versatile ingredient that can increase the effect of cooking.

After getting a portion of mushroom powder, Bai Zhen boiled water in a pot and poured in the prepared honey, then finally added the mushroom powder, stirred wildly and stewed.

It took about ten minutes to confirm that all the nutrients in the mushrooms had been released, and Bai Zhen used gauze to filter out all the mushroom powder residue.

Got a golden drink. This time, unlike the first time, Bai Zhen used his cooking skills to make this vitality drink.

Pour into cup.

Relevant information appeared in Bai Zhen's mind.

[Vitality Drink (Rarity 1) - Low-level cuisine. Made using low-grade nitrified mushrooms, honey, and blue mushrooms. It tastes no different from honey water.

Cooking effect: Within one hour, increase the upper limit of physical endurance by 10%, and you will not feel sleepy. Restores 20% endurance and 5% mental strength. 】

The cooking effect was within Bai Zhen's expectation.

Bai Zhen took a sip. The taste was just as described, not much different from ordinary honey water.

Confirm that there is a difference between the food you made using your cooking skills and the blended items.

Bai Zhen is ready to improve the cuisine.

The vitality drink mainly increases endurance and restores physical strength, but cannot repair physical damage, which cannot meet Bai Zhen's needs.

So he needs to add some materials that can restore injuries.

Examples include bitter bug and mango.

Bai Zhen said to Mr. Tan: "Help me find some mangoes and bring them back. The level doesn't need to be too high, just ripe ones."

"Wow." Tan Xiaoshi immediately went out to help Bai Zhen look for mangoes.

And Baizhen also took this opportunity to quickly deal with Ku Chong.

Bitter bugs are the stuff of the monster hunting world, and their essence promotes natural healing abilities and tastes extremely bitter.

One of the ingredients in the energizing agent brought by Huoyao this morning is bitter insects.

Bai Zhen extracted the essence of bitter insects according to the extraction method.

After waiting for a while, Tan Xiaoshi came back with a lot of mangoes.

Bai Zhen squeezed mango juice and boiled water with honey, then added mushroom powder of blue mushroom and nitrocellulose mushroom, and finally added bitter insect extract.

After filtering and cooling, this improved version of the vitality drink is completed.

[Vitality drink. Mango flavor (rareness 2) - low-level cuisine. The sweetness of mango and honey perfectly neutralizes the bitterness of bitter insects, and the taste of nitrocellulose and blue mushroom is not obvious. It has a pleasant fruity sweet taste.

Cooking effect: Within one hour, increase the upper limit of physical endurance by 20%, and you will not feel tired. Restores 20% of endurance, 10% of mental strength, and obtains high-life (small) skills. High Life (Small): Within one hour, the body's self-healing ability is improved, and physical strength remains abundant. 】

It can increase endurance, maintain sufficient physical strength, and improve one's self-healing ability.

Seeing the effect of this cooking, Bai Zhen nodded with great satisfaction. He could drink this drink for a month to recover from his injuries and regain his strength.

And the price is also very suitable.

If you buy all the materials directly, the cost will only be 40 gold at most.

It's much lower than the 200 gold price of a mandala.

After making one portion, Bai Zhen began to change the proportions of the recipe, and finally upgraded the level of this dish from low-level cuisine to high-level cuisine before 6 p.m.

The cooking improvement effect is not much, but the duration has been increased from the previous 1 hour to the current 3 hours.

The cost has also been reduced from 40 gold to 35 gold due to the adjusted ratio.

Looking at the drink in his hand, Bai Zhen suddenly had a whim.

If this vitality drink were sold directly in the Pokémon world, would there be a market for it?
