Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 746: Unqualified
Xi Wei poured over ten bottles of Wuliangye into the device, then activated the magic crystal, and the entire device began to operate.
“Alcohol evaporates quickly, and the stronger the alcohol, the faster it evaporates. To brew good alcohol, you must reduce its evaporation. What you need to do is accurately grasp the timing to collect the distilled alcohol and repeatedly distill the distilled alcohol multiple times.”
Xi Wei operated while explaining.
Nina meticulously memorized the details.
An hour later, just as Connie and You Ye were about to fall asleep, Xi Wei placed one bottle of upgraded Wuliangye, purified over ten times, into Nina’s hands.
Nina opened the stopper and took a sniff.
The sharp, pungent aroma of alcohol made her head spin.
She immediately sealed the bottle again.
“Master, this alcohol…”
Nina’s expression held a trace of excitement.
This alcohol was definitely potent, and most importantly, it hadn’t taken much time.
If this technique were known to the dwarves, who were addicted to alcohol, they would fight fiercely for it.
“This alcohol is not enough. I’ve only purified it over ten times. To pass the test, you need to purify it at least a hundred times. You must pay attention to the evaporation of the alcohol, otherwise, you might be doing useless work.”
Nina nodded seriously upon hearing this.
Without further ado, Xi Wei immediately brought out a pile of Wuliangye, wine, Erguotou, and so on.
Nina could use these miscellaneous items however she pleased, as the Earth Goddess could not be poisoned to death. The only requirement for this alcohol in the end was that it had to be potent enough.
Time was pressing, and Nina immediately began purifying the alcohol according to Xi Wei’s previous operations.
Soon, a faint scent of alcohol filled the warehouse.
It was fine at first, but as the number of purifications increased, the smell of alcohol became more intense.
Connie didn’t have much of a reaction.
You Ye, however, was already flushed and dizzy.
This cat-eared girl had gotten drunk just by inhaling some of the alcohol fumes.
“You Ye, why don’t we wait outside? You’re about to pass out!”
Connie gently nudged You Ye’s shoulder.
“No! I want to see Master’s treasure!”
The drunk You Ye had lost her usual three-no cat-girl demeanor. She was on all fours, her eyes hazy, making a pouncing pose like a leopard in hunting mode. Just as she was about to leap towards Xi Wei and Nina, Connie quickly grabbed her and pressed her down.
“Let me go! I want to see Master’s treasure!”
You Ye struggled forcefully, her voice loud, like a little puppy that had been angered.
Connie thought to herself, thankfully, she had set up the soundproofing spell array early on, otherwise Xi Wei would have discovered them by now, and it would have been so awkward.
“Good girl, You Ye, we can’t see this treasure. Let’s go…”
Connie, without another word, pulled You Ye towards the exit.
What if Xi Wei didn’t help her with the dragon milk if he found out?
Although she still had You Ye as a tool.
However, You Ye’s skills weren’t good, and sometimes she would hurt the little ferret, so it had to be Xi Wei who did it.
“No! I’m not going out, I want to see the treasure!”
Even though Connie had dragged her outside, the cat-eared girl was still thinking about the treasure.
Connie helplessly covered her forehead and muttered to herself:
“Treasure, treasure, tonight I’ll let you see the real treasure, and then you won’t cry…”

In the warehouse.
Xi Wei noticed that Connie and You Ye had left.
He didn’t pay much attention to it.
Young girls are at the age where they love to play and are curious about everything. Following behind and peeking was typical of Connie and You Ye’s personalities. These two girls seemed to enjoy secretly watching, as if it were more stimulating?
Xi Wei wondered when You Ye had started hanging out with Connie. He shook his head, dismissing the question from his mind.
Meanwhile, Nina was close to completing her brewing.
Driven by magic, the brewing speed had been increased to its maximum.
Soon, Nina produced a bottle of potent liquor, less than 500 milliliters, and sealed it with a wooden stopper.
To produce this bottle of potent liquor, it had taken over fifty jars of other alcohol for purification.
Now, when the liquid in the bottle moved slightly, it had a viscous texture.
“Master, I feel it should be enough. If I repeat the previous operation, it will only cause more fragrance to be lost…”
Nina held up the wine in her hands as if presenting a treasure.
After drinking so much alcohol with Groin before, she now had a precise judgment of the alcohol’s state.
This was not only due to the influence of the Earth Goddess but also because of Nina’s own talent.
“If you think it’s enough, have Her Majesty the Earth Goddess come out to receive it. If not, we’ll find a way to practice again.”
Xi Wei thought.
If the alcohol purified in this way still couldn’t meet the Earth Goddess’s requirements,
Then he could only give the Earth Goddess 100% pure ethanol to drink. For ordinary people, that stuff was a deadly poison, and even the alcohol-loving dwarves couldn’t handle it.
The Earth Goddess had fallen into silence since setting the test.
She had said that she would not personally observe Nina’s brewing process.
It was only after Nina initiated a prayer to the Earth Goddess in her heart that this somewhat abstract goddess reappeared through Nina.
“You’ve already brewed the alcohol?”
The Earth Goddess sniffed, looking incredulous. The air was filled with a strong aroma of alcohol, making her involuntarily swallow.
How long had it been! .
“Completed.”
Xi Wei nodded slightly and gestured to Nina. Nina then presented the bottle in her hands to the Earth Goddess with both hands.
“Let me be clear, although this is only the first test, my standards are very strict, and I won’t let Nina get by with a fluke. If this bottle of alcohol doesn’t satisfy me, you will need to refine a new batch of alcohol!”
The Earth Goddess took the wine bottle with a serious expression.
Seeing the confident looks on Xi Wei and Nina’s faces, she felt a sliver of anticipation for the wine in her hands. She twisted open the stopper, and the aroma of wine filled the air.
The Earth Goddess swore.
It was the first time she had smelled such a strong aroma of alcohol.
Her throat rolled.
In front of Xi Wei and Nina, she unceremoniously gulped down the entire bottle of wine, then sloppily wiped her mouth with her sleeve and let out a burp.
“Not bad, this wine is very good!”
The Earth Goddess swirled the last bit of liquid alcohol in the bottle, and a comfortable shiver ran through her. But immediately, her expression showed a hint of regret.
“Although this is the best wine I’ve ever had since I was born, unfortunately, it doesn’t make me feel drunk. So, Nina’s test is unqualified. Alas… you two keep working hard.”
Under the stunned gazes of Xi Wei and Nina.
The Earth Goddess poured the remaining liquid into her mouth, lapping at the bottle’s opening with her tongue, and then transformed into a mist of light and disappeared before Xi Wei and Nina.
