<Portable Wildland Stimulant: Preparation, Instruction and Efficacy> [Preparation and Instruction] 1. Prepare some cooked edamame. Do not salt or peel them. 2. Prepare a device to freeze the edamame. I will use my own edamame box here as a demonstration: this much freezing is just right. 3. Prepare a device to discharge electricity. I'll demonstrate with my trusty sidekick here: this much power leakage is just right. 4. Lower the voltage of the discharge device and shock the edamame until the juice inside carries a slight charge. 5. Eat. [Efficacy] In the barrens, maintaining a clear mind can be a real challenge. The boundless wilderness, the sweeping dust storms, the glow reflecting from the active Originium clouds in the sky, the howl of the wind blowing through Originium crystal clusters... It's easy to gradually lose your sense of self and fall into a trance-like state where you won't notice incoming dangers. Chew the edamame along with its shell. The hairs of the shell can stimulate the mouth, thus keeping the user's nerves active. Frozen edamame can stimulate the gums and make it easier to stay awake. The slightly-charged juices can give a tingling jolt, thus sharpening the user's perception. Proper stimulation can prevent people from falling into a stupor. This is the only way to survive in the wilderness. 'You've put a weird amount of thought into this manual, Ayers.' 'Quit flapping your gums, Leon. A lot of operators have been coming by the last few days, asking me for the secret to staying awake in the wilds. I'm sick of giving the same explanation again and again.' 'I guess it's true that your manual could stop people from coming, but... to be honest, I'm surprised those hobbies of yours can actually come in handy.' 'That's a nice bonus. Edamame is delicious, and I find the electric jolt refreshing.' 'Well, whatever floats your boat. At first, I was worried you were forcing yourself to do all that just to stay awake protecting me...' 'Do I seem like that kind of person?' 'Not really. Remember the first time you ate edamame? With shell and everything? You didn't know to peel it back then and we were worried it'd cause some sort of problem, but instead you seemed happy as could be.' 'I remember. That was when the mining ship broke down in the barrens. By the time we got it huffing and puffing to the next mine, everyone was already delirious with hunger. It was the first time I had food that could just snap you back to your senses, and it really stuck with me.' 'Wait, so it all comes back to waking you up after all? You know, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for you, Ayers.' 'No, it's because edamame is delicious, and I find the electric jolt refreshing.' '...Alright then. Whatever floats your boat.'
