Speak to Boss Du at Aurum Alley

📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Aurum Alley

Did you want something?

Boss Du

Lately, I've been trying to make something new with fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits. After some setbacks, I've finally developed a new recipe.

Boss Du

This is the new flavor for Flaming Potent Tea. I've followed your suggestions from last time, and this one is sure to lift your spirits with its spicy kick.

Boss Du

Why don't you come over and give it a try?

System

Boss Du personally pours a cup of tea for you.

Boss Du

Here, feel free to give it a try, and if you feel like drinking more, there's plenty where that came from.

Options

Bottoms up!

Taste the new Flaming Potent Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!

System

While you have no idea what ingredients Boss Du added, you are certain that this is the authentic Flaming Potent Tea as its overwhelming spice and burn go straight to your brain.

System

You are stunned by the Flaming Potent Tea's bold aftertaste. After shaking your head and taking a moment to compose yourself, you start counting on your fingers how many cups of Flaming Potent Tea you've had. At that moment, you suddenly realize that counting with your fingers is something only March 7th would do.

System

You quickly curl your fingers, but then you start to wonder: March 7th counts her fingers because she has ten of them, but how does Pom-Pom count their fingers? Do they start at one and count up to two, or start at zero and end at zero, too?

System

You become completely absorbed in your finger-counting mathematical theories...

Wake up from your hazy state

(Wait, where am I? I was having tea at Du's Teahouse, but why am I here? Boss Du might be looking for me. I should hurry back!)

Return to Du's Teahouse and tell Boss Du about what you learned

📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Aurum Alley

What was the tea I just tried?

Boss Du

Oh, finally, you're back! I was so worried about you. You finished the tea and just stormed out — I thought you were irritated by it!

Boss Du

I tried to calm you down, but all you muttered was something about the "ultimate truth of the universe" and "the unified theory of maths". At any rate, I didn't understand a word!

Boss Du

You were walking unsteadily and stumbling, but now I see that you are safe and sound. I'm glad that nothing terrible happened.

Boss Du

...So, how did you feel about that cup of tea? I'm sincerely sorry if it was a bad tasting experience.

Options

It's a little overwhelming...

I don't even know what just happened.

Boss Du

Hmmm? From what you're saying, I assume the Flaming Potent Tea has got you a little carried away? I've seen customers who aren't used to it getting dizzy and talking nonsense after drinking my tea.

Boss Du

Perhaps that's why you acted weird... Looks like the Flaming Potent Tea was a bit too flaming and potent. I'll have to adjust the recipe.

Boss Du

I'll look into it later. Oh, and here's the compensation I promised. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.
