Ji Yunzhi had spent the previous day refining theories and testing ingredients, but this time was different. Today, he finally had the real thing to study.
Not just the can.
The liquid itself.
Standing inside a high-grade alchemy chamber, he placed the Cola on a jade table. The chamber's walls shimmered faintly with protective formations, ensuring nothing from the outside interfered with his research.
He carefully lifted the can, feeling the weight of the unknown in his hands. He pried the tab open.
Psshhht!
A sharp hiss escaped, and tiny bubbles rushed to the surface before vanishing into the air.
Ji Yunzhi's eyes narrowed. This was the same reaction he had witnessed yesterday when he first tasted the Cola, but seeing it again in its pure form only deepened his curiosity.
What was causing this fizzing?
He leaned in closer, watching intently as the bubbles continued to form and disappear, as though something inside was constantly shifting.
