Hutson had long since committed its formula and alchemical process to memory, with AI chip storing every detail in its archives. For days, he had tirelessly reviewed the instructions, running countless simulations in his mind. Now, everything was ready.

As the heavy doors shut behind him, Hutson entered the alchemist's domain.
"AI chip, initiate Twilight Elixir refinement assistance."
"Task registered. Process execution in progress…"
