In Aqiu's stunned gaze, Arkz took out one brewed barrel after another from his inventory space.
She could understand him storing away the wood, as storage spaces, while rare, were not entirely unheard of on the continent of Teyvat.
But after storing the materials, he pulled out the finished product in less than a second.
Wasn't this production speed a bit too exaggerated?
As a member of the royal family of Khaenri'ah, Aqiu had seen alchemists before Khaenri'ah fell.
She knew that the methods of alchemists were mystical, but she never expected them to be this mystical!
"But since this person is Mr. Arkz, it's not that surprising after all."
"After all, he is the one who can create miraculous potions like the water of purity."
In Aqiu's view, Arkz's attainments in the field of alchemy even surpassed Gold Reinhard—the creator of the Demon Dragon Durin.
After all, did Reinhard have a way to lift the curse of the Heavenly Principles?
Arkz surveyed the farm, searching for a spot to place the brewing barrels.
He quickly selected a suitable open area.
Arkz and Aqiu worked together to place the 20 brewing barrels Arkz had just created in the designated spots.
Looking at the neatly arranged brewing barrels, Arkz couldn't help but say:
"It looks like digging a cellar needs to be put on the agenda."
"For now, the number of brewing barrels is small, so we can temporarily find an open space to put them."
"Once the number of brewing barrels increases later, there won't be any room left to place them."
This reminded Arkz of when he played games; brewing barrels were always placed wherever there was space, whether on the road or by the lake, emphasizing pure spontaneity.
However, now on the continent of Teyvat,
If Arkz dared to place brewing barrels by the roadside in the wilderness,
He guaranteed that by the next day, both the wine and the barrels would be stolen.
Hearing Arkz say this, Aqiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped out, thumping her chest:
"Mr. Arkz, leave the task of digging the cellar to me!"
"I guarantee I will dig you a spacious and beautiful cellar!"
Arkz shifted his gaze to Aqiu:
"Leave it to me?"
Aqiu nodded excitedly.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm!!"
Arkz pondered for a moment, then smiled:
"Alright, then the mission to dig a cellar for the farm is assigned to you!"
"When your cellar is dug, I'll give you a raise."
Aqiu quickly said seriously: "Just rest assured and leave it to me!"
Aqiu's eyes were full of excitement.
"Oh, right, the location for the cellar should be that open area outside the farm."
"Remember to be careful when digging so you don't cause a collapse."
Arkz looked at the excited Aqiu and quickly emphasized, as he didn't want to wake up one morning to find his farm had caved in.
After the brewing barrels were placed, they could start brewing the wine.
This time, Arkz didn't ask Aqiu for help again.
He chose to summon the Wooden Men.
The upgraded Wooden Men were excellent hands at labor.
"Go to the warehouse, retrieve the strawberries, and put them into the brewing barrels."
Upon receiving the command, the Wooden Men immediately sprang into action.
Under the boost of Dendro Elemental Power, they extended vines from their wrists like Spider-Men, rapidly moving using the contractile force of the vines.
Their speed was much faster than running on the ground.
Moreover, during combat, Arkz could condense Geo Element Armor and elemental weapon for the Wooden Men, further increasing their combat power and DEF.
Soon, the Wooden Men returned from the warehouse carrying strawberries.
Arkz and Amu quietly watched the Wooden Men work.
As the strawberries were put into the brewing barrels, these brewing barrels, which Arkz created using the system's power, began to constantly bubble, already starting to ferment.
Seeing this scene, Aqiu appeared quite calm instead.
"It's normal for the alchemical brewing barrels made by Mr. Arkz to have some special characteristics."
Watching the brewing barrels already at work, Arkz felt a surge of accomplishment.
"Seven days. After seven days, the first batch of strawberry fruit wine will be ready."

...
Mondstadt City.
Amber, who had just completed a reconnaissance mission, was walking on the streets of Mondstadt.
She was holding a windwheel aster in her hand, her face showing delight.
It had been gifted to her by villagers when she passed through a small village during her patrol.
For Knights like Amber who patrolled, their main task was usually helping these small villages clear nearby monsters.
Therefore, the people in these villages deeply respected the Knights of Favonius.
Amber couldn't refuse the kindness of these enthusiastic villagers and had to accept their gift, but as she left, Amber quietly left behind some Mora as compensation.
Now she realized that the windwheel aster in her hand was larger and much more beautiful than those she usually saw.
She brought it closer to smell it carefully and could detect a faint, sweet fragrance.
Amber immediately thought:
"Could this be the high-quality windwheel aster that Mr. Arkz needs!"
"I'll find a chance later to send it over for Mr. Arkz to see."
Thinking this, Amber carefully wrapped the windwheel aster and placed it inside her Vision's space.
With the gift received and her mood uplifted, Amber walked smilingly into the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
"Amber, back from your mission? Want to grab a bite at The Good Hunter tonight?"
"Sure!"
"Amber is back?"
"Yeah, I'm back."
"..."
Along the way, many people greeted Amber, and she responded cheerfully and naturally.
"Amber, Sister Lisa needs to see you."
"Lisa needs me?"
"Yes, Sister Lisa looks quite anxious, you should hurry."
Amber scratched her head in confusion. Why would Lisa need her? Her job scope didn't involve Lisa at all?
Could it be that she forgot to return a book she borrowed?
But she remembered the due date hadn't arrived yet!
Despite being puzzled, Amber secretly quickened her pace.
When she pushed open the door to the Knights of Favonius library, the Witch of the Roses, Lisa, had already been waiting for some time.
"Oh my!"
"Sweet little Amber, you've finally arrived~~"
Amber had developed resistance to Lisa's charm and was completely unmoved.
"Uh..."
"Lisa, what did you need me for?"
Upon hearing this, Lisa's expression turned serious:
"There is indeed a very important matter, related to that incident you and your friends caused at Starsnatch Cliff a few days ago."
"Amber, I recall your friend is from Sumeru, correct?"
Amber paused and said:
"Are you talking about Collei?"
Although Lisa usually appeared unreliable, in Amber's heart, Lisa was the third person she trusted in the Knights of Favonius, after Acting Grand Master Jean and Eula.
So, after only a slight hesitation, Amber told Lisa everything she knew about the incident.
