Update: the subject of the second tube had woken up. It turned the liquid around it into pure gold. The boss was very excited about this and shouted excitedly about how much money he could make off of this creation.

This creation is now his favorite and he had the workers collect the pure gold and he took all that was collected. The caretaker was informed about this and everyone seems to be jealous of him now. The boss has increased his wage as long as he takes care of it properly and gets it to produce more gold.
