This game is so weird!

A moment later, a small, light green turtle appeared on the platform.

The little turtle has yellow eyes and a yellow lower jaw. Its green body has a shell made of mud, and a seedling is growing on the brown spot on its head.

The turtle's brown shell has dark brown stripes and an outer frame, and hidden under the shell are yellow feet and a small tail.

Even the usually expressionless Mokuyu smiled, awkwardly holding the grass turtle in his arms.

Both Ye Yu and Er Miao found it hard to believe that Mu Yu, who usually acted so aloof, could actually have such a moment.

After Muyu returned, he and Ermiao sat on the bench by the door, quietly discussing their future breeding strategies and wonderful ideas. Then, Yeyu led Pikachu forward.

While waiting, Ye Yu pondered for a while.

Pikachu was only recently acquired and hasn't undergone any training or improvement, so it definitely doesn't meet the requirements for leveling up and strengthening.

What's urgently needed right now is the ability to carry Pokémon items and their own attack methods. Using Research Points to solve this problem with items like Poké Balls would be too wasteful. If we could get an exclusive licensing fee, that would be fine. If not, we can petition on the official website to suggest adding this feature, which should also solve the problem.

In comparison, offensive weapons are in greater need.

Licensing and selling are also more likely to yield returns in the short term.

"Hello, could you please develop a ranged attack weapon?"

"Hmm? Let me think about it."

Li Ang was slightly surprised. Having just purchased the license for the impact cannon, he subconsciously thought that the weapon problem was solved, but he didn't expect that the players were still trying to solve this problem.

However, it would be nice to have more weapons.

The players' initiative exceeded his expectations. Perhaps he could consider giving the players more freedom, while he could step back and take control of the overall direction.

Let's develop a unique market economy characteristic of Scar Planet.

Considering the Pioneer Division's surveillance of the mysterious origins of the Scar Star base, Li Ang thought this was also a possible solution.

Using the tried-and-tested mosaic defense tactic is a good approach.

As Li Ang pondered this, he opened the interface, selected Equipment - Weapons, and before he could delve deeper into what kind of firearm to craft, a red warning popped up.

[WARNING: Weapon manufacturing license not obtained]

"Um???"

[To ensure world peace and stability, the weapon production function of the Creation Machine is locked by default. If you need to unlock it for research or other special reasons, please contact the Imperial Department of Culture and Tourism to apply. Once approved, authorization will be granted under supervision and restrictions.]

Why do we have to apply to the Department of Culture and Tourism for this? Even in the military, this would be more normal, right?

Is it because of world peace that the supervision has been handed over to the cultural and tourism departments? Or is it read as the Cultural and Tourism Department, or the Department of Civilized Supervision, Deterrence, and Freedom of Tourism?

Furthermore, weapon research and manufacturing are restricted, even within the tech tree. Basic expansion bases can only unlock a few single-function weapons such as impact cannons, electric shock modules, daggers, and electric swords. Could it be that something happened before, thus limiting the weapon development of subordinate factions?

The specific details are currently unknown, but it is impossible to manufacture them at present.

Li Ang hadn't expected that the Creation Machine, which was described as omniscient and omnipotent, would have hidden limitations. He just didn't know how many other limitations it was subject to.

I had hoped it would improve security, but I had to give up on that idea.

"The base is not able to develop weapons at the moment. Only cold weapons such as swords and knives are classified as handicrafts and tools, which can be developed."

"Is it necessary to develop these products?"

"what?"

Ye Yu was also stunned. "There are even these kinds of restrictions?"

Do you think our alien survival is too easy, so you're manually increasing the difficulty?

There are still many man-eating fish in the sea!

"What about Poké Balls? If they're successfully developed, could you grant me exclusive rights?"

The night rain retreated and sought its own way.

"This seems like a good idea, but the cost of an exclusive license might be outrageously high, probably around the price of 10 base cores."

"Never mind, I'll think about it some more."

Not being able to buy an authorized Poké Ball doesn't seem to be that urgent.

After all, there's only one Pokémon for now, and the pet boarding and delivery services at the base are quite convenient, and most importantly, they're not expensive!

After thinking for a while, Ye Yu couldn't think of anything that needed to be developed, so she had to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

"Thank you, Captain. We'll be going now. We'll come back when we've thought things through."

"Okay, sure. If you have any good ideas, feel free to come to the lobby to find me anytime. I usually rest in the lobby most evenings."

"Okay, thank you, Captain!"

The three of them then said goodbye and prepared to return to the base to rest and wait for Pineapple Bun to come online, while also helping the two new members of the team to decorate their new home.

Pikachu wagged its tail and followed Yeyu away.

Li Ang sat behind the control panel of the creation machine.

Seeing that no one seemed to be coming to conduct research for the time being, he told the receptionist at the counter that he needed to be notified in advance, and then opened the Creation Machine management page to browse.

Or perhaps we could resolve the monitoring issue first?

Thinking this, Li Ang shut down the network connection of the creation machine, and to be absolutely sure, he even went to the side of the room and unplugged the photon cable used for data transmission.

He searched the research room again like a thief, and only after finding no obvious surveillance cameras did he sit back at the control panel, pick up the mind access device, and put it on his head.

Top-tier hackers possess the ability to obstruct or modify information transmission.

Is it Cortana from Halo, Porygon from Pokémon, or Rotom, which has become popular in recent years?

It seems that Cortana is at risk of being hacked and brainwashed; in comparison, biological systems are safer.

Although Rotom doesn't seem to be considered a living being.

Can ghosts be considered living beings?

After some thought, Li Ang initially decided to create a Rotom to solve the privacy protection problem at the pioneer base.

After all, the Pokémon Center Rotom has appeared in the anime, so it's not impossible for it to be upgraded and become the Frontier Rotom.

Considering that yellow crystals were involved in several successful Pokémon runs, it's safe to use yellow crystals for the first set of materials.

As for the second material, gold, being a universally used raw material, should be fine.

Finally, to ensure the performance of Rotom after it is produced, Li Ang specifically selected an AI core as the core raw material for the base. This is also one of the advanced materials that can be manufactured after upgrading the basic base.

After selecting the biological category and configuring the enhancement materials, the creation machine begins operation.

"Pokémon, Ghosts, Plasma Lifeforms."

"It can infiltrate and control all kinds of machines."

Li Ang nervously recalled his memories of Rotom, trying his best to input relevant information into the creation machine to increase the probability of success.

As the raw material icons on the interface light up and then go out one by one, the creation machine gradually comes to the end of its material selection process.

Ultimately, a small amount of various metal raw materials were selected, along with half of the biomass, and added to the circular space of the creation machine.

As the field rapidly rotated, various materials merged into one, radiating a golden and blue light the instant the yellow crystal was incorporated.

The light faded after a moment.

A small, orange life form floated in mid-air, surrounded by blue plasma that formed an arrowhead-like arm.

Unlike other Pokémon, the newborn Rotom has already opened its little blue eyes and is looking around curiously.

Rotom

Electric-type and Ghost-type Pokémon

Rotom's body is composed of plasma, and its electric-like form allows it to enter certain machines.

"LotoLoto?"

"Welcome, Rotom."

Li Ang smiled, walked to the front of the stage, and extended his hands to Rotom. Rotom happily jumped into his palms, showing a natural affinity for his creator.
