Apocalypse: No rebirth! Time to upgrade the sewers!

"There are too many people, I don't like it either."

Upon hearing this, Song Qing nodded.

This is in line with Liu Xiang's personality.

Because she has always preferred peace and quiet.

She definitely wouldn't like a scene like the one just now, where the undead army was mobilized.

But she still went, showing she could still prioritize in this regard.

Liu Xiang put down the kettle and looked at Elavina beside her.

Then, she pointed to the wooden door on the side of the bar.

"Elavina, that's the changing room. Go change into your work clothes."

Elavina was looking around curiously when she heard this. She sniffed and asked, puzzled.

"Oh? Is that so complicated? Do I have to change clothes?"

Liu Xiang glanced at her and said calmly.

"Of course we need to change it."

"You're an employee here now, so you have to follow the rules."

Elavina pouted, her face clearly showing her reluctance.

She scratched her reddened head and muttered softly.

"Okay, okay, I'll change it."

After saying that, Elavina went into the room.

At this moment, Song Qing looked at Liu Xiang at the bar.

"Liu Xiang, give me an iced Americano."

Liu Xiang nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, just a moment."

She walked to the coffee machine, skillfully picked up a glass, and then put ice cubes in.

Then she poured in half a glass of water.

Take the beans, grind them, fill the coffee powder into the portafilter, tamp it down, and then extract.

The coffee dripped down the spout and into the ice water.

The entire process was seamless and fluid, without any unnecessary movements.

Elegant and composed.

Less than two minutes later, Liu Xiang brought a coffee cup to Song Qing.

She placed the coffee in front of Song Qing and said calmly.

"My lord, please have some."

Song Qing smiled and agreed, then picked up her cup.

"Thank you."

Song Qing took a small sip of her coffee, the cool liquid sliding down her throat.

Song Qing pondered it carefully.

The flavor is very rich.

It lacks the burnt bitterness and acidity of inferior coffee beans.

It's safe to say that the taste is exceptionally good, not just good.

This is definitely the highest quality coffee he has ever drunk.

Song Qing put down the glass, looked up at Liu Xiang and asked.

"This coffee tastes good, how much is a cup?"

Liu Xiang stood by the table, her tone calm.

"Are you referring to an iced Americano?"

Song Qing nodded.

"An iced Americano costs 40 points."

Liu Xiang's words remained calm, but Song Qing's eyelids twitched twice.

He stared at Liu Xiang's face for a few seconds.

The other party was absolutely not joking.

She was serious.

Song Qing took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

"Isn't this...this price...a bit too high?"

He wasn't exaggerating.

He is very familiar with the prices in large, cold-resistant cities.

A regular iced Americano might only sell for 12 to 20 points at most.

Here it is, the price has more than doubled.

40 points are enough for an average family to live on for three days.

Liu Xiang was not surprised by Song Qing's reaction.

Then, she pointed to the green plants next to her and spoke softly.

"It's not expensive."

"The coffee beans in my shop are all cultivated by me using my special abilities."

"It is fundamentally different from the ordinary products grown in greenhouses on the market."

Liu Xiang paused, looked into Song Qing's eyes, and added a sentence.

"The most crucial thing is..."

"These coffee beans I cultivate have the added benefit of restoring mental energy."

Song Qing was stunned when she heard this.

Liu Xiang continued to explain.

"However, your rank is too high, so this kind of recovery effect is almost negligible for you."

Song Qing closed his eyes and carefully sensed the condition inside his body.

It really is.

The mental energy I just used up did recover a little faster than usual.

Although extremely rare, it does exist.

Liu Xiang watched as Song Qing opened his eyes and then added.

"These coffee beans have a remarkable effect on superhumans below the fourth level."

"The lower the rank, the more obvious the recovery effect."

"But it's not very useful for someone of your level."

Song Qing smiled.

"I definitely felt it."

"Based on the effect you described, selling it for 40 points is not only not expensive, but actually cheap."

Song Qing already knew that Liu Xiang grew coffee beans using her photosynthetic botany ability.

He always thought that was to ensure the taste and quality.

Who would have thought.

This thing actually has a mana regeneration effect!

Isn't this just the little blue bottle from the game?

Song Qing tapped the table and asked with a serious expression.

"Oh, right."

"How long will the restorative effects of your coffee beans last after you drink them?"

Liu Xiang thought for a moment and then gave her answer.

"It will take approximately four to six hours."

"It depends on the individual's constitution and absorption capacity."

Song Qing's mind raced.

An idea instantly formed in his mind.

Chen Xi's Tea Princess, although there were many delicious drinks before the apocalypse.

In addition, the current mutant fruits are sweeping the market without a doubt.

But coffee is just like that; every coffee shop's coffee tastes pretty much the same.

However, the coffee beans cultivated by Liu Xiang are different; they have a rejuvenating effect.

He could have easily suggested that Chen Xi develop the product further.

This product will definitely sell out quickly once it hits the market.

Although people in large, cold-resistant cities have now escaped the plight of hunger and cold and no longer have to fight for food every day as before.

The mental exertion is also negligible.

However, this special product is sure to sell like hotcakes.

It's mainly about bizarre psychology, after all, in the whole world.

I've never heard of any material that can restore blue.

40 point?

Even selling it for 80 points would be a mad rush.

Although he hasn't officially signed a contract with Chen Xi yet, that doesn't stop him from making plans ahead of time.

If the freshly brewed coffee at Tea Princess shop sells well.

We could easily expand the production line and let Chen Xi work on bottled beverages.

This blue coffee can be packaged directly in cans or plastic bottles.

Extended shelf life and convenient to carry.

At that point, it won't just be the market in City B anymore.

They could easily dump their products nationwide and monopolize the entire market.

The profits are simply immeasurable.

He believed that with the strength of Princess Chen Xi, the Tea Consort before the apocalypse, she was fully capable of doing it.

At that time, all he needs to do is pay.

Of course.

The core of all this lies with Liu Xiang. Without her nurturing of supernatural abilities, this would just be an ordinary cup of coffee.

We need to talk to her about profit sharing first.

Song Qing leaned forward and placed her hands crossed on the table.

Just as he was about to speak, the wooden door to the changing room opened.

Elavina came out from inside.

She was wearing a black and white maid outfit.

Her skirt just reached above her knees, and she was wearing a headband.

The clothes were noticeably a bit tight.

In particular, his chest area was taut, fully displaying the magnificent curves of his chest.
