Axel attempted to make the tonics according to the recipe he bought, but...
"Damn, this thing takes a long time to do..."
He could only grumble to himself.
Tonics are created by mixing various essences into a single vial, but to gather those "essences," he needed to condense them slowly using a multi-stage condenser. The required purity for each essence, or the level of concentration, was quite strict.
Having no choice and wanting to speed things up, Axel decided to buy more condensers. He purchased one for each ingredient he needed—totaling 50 units. He arranged them throughout the laboratory, watching as they nearly filled the space to the limit.
"Multi-stage condensers are way too big..."
He adjusted each one, buying accessories to secure them in place, and then set the heaters to emit a modulated temperature. Once he finished setting everything up, he stood at the entrance and admired his handiwork.
