Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

Upon hearing Natsuno's suggestion, all three agreed that it was feasible.

Akiba's eyes were filled with hatred: "Fine, I will definitely investigate along this line of thought, follow the clues, and catch the mastermind behind it all!"

Seeing Akihabara's entire being exuding a murderous aura, Natsuno couldn't help but silently mourn for the masterminds behind the scenes.

Sigh, you guys have been targeted by tech gurus. Good luck to you, and you'd better turn yourselves in soon.

After chatting for a while, Akihabara, confirming that he had no further business with Akihabara, asked him to leave.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I'll do my best to investigate. Wait for my news."

Natsuno took out his phone, opened the official account, and added Akihabara as a friend. The group then left.

Walking down the street, because he had to hold Xiao Cai's hand, he held Xiao Yuan in his arms with one hand and held the energy conversion device with the other, letting Xiao Cai hold onto his little finger.

Looking at the device, which resembled a sweeping machine, Natsuno felt it was cumbersome.

In the elevator, I couldn't help but ask A-Du, "There should be some kind of technology department or manufacturing department here at headquarters, right?"

"I'd like to get a portable energy conversion device, do you have one?"

A-Du lowered his hand from mid-air and pressed another floor button: "Equipment R&D Department, it will be there."

Arriving at the equipment research and development department floor, one finds a bustling and vibrant scene.

Unlike Akihabara, the person in charge here has a full head of hair and a very strong physique.

The other party immediately noticed the device in Xia Ye's hand: "Ah, the latest patent from Devon Group. Its energy conversion efficiency is 2% higher than the best on the market. Can I take a look?"

Did the heterochromatic single oocyte fail to attract attention and instead get captured by the energy device? Well done, you STEM guy.

Xia Ye handed the device directly to the other party: "I can give it to you, but I want a portable energy conversion device, the more portable the better."

The person in charge looked at Adu, who nodded, and led the three to a small conference room, inviting them to drink tea and wait.

Five minutes later, the person in charge came in with a 3x3 six-sided Rubik's Cube in his hand, and while introducing it, he was also rotating it to shuffle the color order of the six faces.

Natsuno was stunned: Where's the energy device? What are you doing playing with a Rubik's Cube here?

"You've come at the perfect time. This is the latest product, only the size of a Rubik's Cube, and its portability has reached its peak."

"Comparatively speaking, its efficiency is not high. Cross-attribute conversion is only 50%, while same-attribute conversion is about 60%."

"But the operation is extremely simple, with only three buttons. Pressing Absorb will open the energy slot, which can hold up to nine universal-sized energy cubes. Press Absorb again to close the slot."

"Press the switch button to start converting energy, press it again to pause the conversion, and the switch button will switch the energy output you want. There is a small screen to display this."

"It requires no charging, can withstand various interferences, and can be used normally within a temperature range of ±55 degrees Celsius."

"The shell material uses multiple scales from Dragonite and scales from Kommo-o, making it extremely strong. In a crisis, it could even be thrown like a rock."

"What's most ingenious is that this thing can actually be used as a Rubik's Cube. The internal design is perfect. It can be said to be the pinnacle of our department's work so far. It's called Rubik's Cube Generation 1."

The person in charge held the Rubik's Cube 1 and spun it rapidly, quickly restoring the colors of all six sides.

Natsuno's mouth closed, his eyes lit up, and he took it with great delight: "The power of science is truly amazing!"

The other party smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied. This is not for sale; it's only for use by members of the alliance. It's very expensive to make, so don't lose it. This thing is very difficult to make."

The group returned to Watari's office. Natsuno and Oki confirmed that there was nothing else to discuss and then took their leave.

Back at the research institute, Professor Oak went to the laboratory area, while Natsuno led Aya and carried Madoka back to the dormitory building.

In the living room, Qinglv was eating walnuts and watching Pokémon videos.

Upon seeing Xia Ye enter, his gaze was immediately drawn to the small blue circle in his hand.

"Natsuno-kun, a heterochromatic mononuclear ovum? Is this a newly formed bond?"

Xia Ye smiled and handed Xiao Yuan to Qing Lü for a closer look: "I guess so. Her name is Xiao Yuan. She's a very special person."

While introducing Qinglv to this powerful general with triple genetic mutation, he thought to himself: That's more like it! People in the Pokémon world should be attracted to Shiny Pokémon!

It's one thing for STEM guys to like mechanics, but why doesn't Dr. Akihabara's expression change much when he sees Madoka? Does this mean programmers are actually two-dimensional and don't like three-dimensional beings?

When Qinglu learned that Xiaoyuan had developed dual traits due to a genetic mutation, she was utterly astonished.

"Natsuno-kun, do Pokémon with dual abilities really exist?"

Xia Ye picked up a walnut from the table, took the small round one with both hands, and smashed it down on the walnut.

"Crack!" The walnut shell shattered, and Xia Ye ate it with relish.

The outer membrane of the small round object becomes very hard after mutation, making it perfect for cracking walnuts.

The little guy wasn't angry at all; he even squinted his eyes and chuckled.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. Perhaps there really are traits that correspond to gene mutations that lead to dual traits. Who knows?"

Although Qinglu is usually very calm, he is still only a 16-year-old boy, the age when he loves to fantasize the most: "If I could meet one, sweeping the league would not be a dream."

Natsuno placed Xiaoyuan on the table, and Xiaocai immediately started teasing her with her tail.

He took out a Rubik's Cube from his pocket, cracked another walnut, and put the walnut kernel into Xiao Cai's mouth.

"Little Green, wake up! Caterpie can beat Dragonite too. The bond between you and your Pokémon is the most important thing!"

Qinglu was quickly drawn to the Rubik's Cube in Xia Ye's hand: "I know, Grandpa has been saying that since I was little. What is this in your hand, Brother Xia Ye?"

"Crack, crack," Xia Ye cracked two more walnuts and handed them to Qing Lü with a smile: "Xiao Yuan's rice bowl, portable energy conversion device, Rubik's Cube Generation 1, the latest technology product for internal use within the alliance."

"It's actually a Rubik's Cube, resistant to high and low temperatures, and its outer shell is made of Dragonite scale material, so you can use it to hit people."

With each segment of the explanation, Qinglv's eyes shone even brighter. He took the cube and began to turn it in his hands, solving the Rubik's Cube.

Please, who can resist a cool, high-tech Rubik's Cube?

Two minutes later, after restoring all six sides, Qinglu reluctantly returned the Rubik's Cube to Xiaye.

Xiao Yuan over there was being led around by Xiao Cai and was starting to show signs of fatigue.

Xia Ye held the Rubik's Cube, pressed the absorb button, put nine level 20 superpower energy cubes into the energy slot, and then pressed the close button again.

Tap repeatedly to switch until "Convert to Superpower Energy" appears on the black and white screen, then press to switch again.

When the Rubik's Cube is placed next to the small circle, energy fluctuations can be vaguely seen, which are then absorbed by the small circle.

Once Xiaoyuan regained her vitality, Natsuno stopped.

Upon opening the energy box, I found that one energy block had been consumed.

The event consumes one level 20 energy block every half hour. I really don't know whether to say it's easy or difficult to raise.

Just as Xia Ye was pondering, his phone rang, and the caller ID read "Rocket Express".

"Hello, your package has arrived. Please come out and sign for it."

Chapter 28: Subduing the Different Colored Mononuclear Cell Ball

Xia Ye walked to the front door and looked at the uniforms of the deliverymen and Rocket Delivery, which were the same as those of the deliverymen. The large letter R on their chests highlighted their unusual temperament.

After signing to confirm receipt, Xia Ye shook his head: "The Rockets' businesses are that big? They're involved in express delivery, food delivery, and air taxis. They must be making a lot of money."

Back in my dorm, I opened the package. It contained an unopened deluxe ball with some stickers attached.

Qinglu also joined Xiaocai in teasing Xiaoyuan, and when they saw Xiaye return, they chatted about interesting things related to cell spheres.

"Natsuno-kun, how many people in the ancient United States actually drank the liquid inside the cell spheres?"

Natsuno stared at the light blue liquid in the small circle and shook his head: "I bet there's a lot. People who pursue immortality won't care about such things."

The single oocyte sphere and its evolutionary form are named for their resemblance to the embryonic development process. They were first discovered and recorded in the ancient United Kingdom region.

Moreover, the name "cell sphere" is a modern one; it wasn't called that in ancient times. Instead, it was called "egg of life," and there's a story behind that.

According to United States history, for a long time in the past, nobles believed that consuming the liquid from the cellular spheres could bring wisdom and longevity, and thus named it the "Egg of Life," which people flocked to.

Although modern science has long confirmed that the fluid inside cell spheres is highly toxic to other organisms, ancient people were unaware of this and thus hunted cell spheres extensively.

This once led to the near extinction of wild cell spheres on the land of the United States.

Only a small number of them migrated to other regions and were able to reproduce.

In summary, according to the League's major survey, Cellball and its evolved forms are the Pokémon with the fewest existing numbers (excluding Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon).

Only a small number are kept in major laboratories, and they are extremely rare in the wild.

The reason why these little guys are kept in the lab has a slightly mystical element to it.

Online, a story circulates among trainee researchers: There was once an unlucky trainee researcher who couldn't reproduce a certain experiment.

One time, I touched a single oocyte sphere used for research in the lab and then did an experiment. The experiment, which had always failed, succeeded that time.

The researcher then told his friends about it. Some of his friends tried it to increase the success rate, while others tried it and found it completely useless, thinking that he was lying.

But the idea that "touching a handful of cell pellets before doing experiments will make it easier to succeed" has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the trainee researchers.

Laboratory mysticism has also allowed the cell spheres to expand and multiply. According to records, although the number of cell spheres is still small, it is increasing year by year. Occasionally, when some research institutes have too many, they will be given to new researchers.

However, as far as Natsuno knows, there are no cultured cell spheres in Ooki's laboratory.

"The elusive prospect of immortality always draws people in, but unfortunately it leads to innocent Pokémon suffering this calamity."

Natsuno held the brand-new deluxe ball in his hand and exclaimed in admiration.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a slight impact on my stomach, which was pressed against the edge of the table.

Natsuno looked down and saw that it was Madoka greeting him in a unique way, which Natsuno called the "bumping greeting".

After all, this mutant is the only one who can't use superpowers to float slightly, so it has to rely on rolling to do everything, which is why this form of rolling to greet others came about.

Then Xiaoyuan rolled towards Xiaocai. Xiaocai even deliberately left the table and ran further away, and Xiaoyuan jumped off the table, which was nearly a meter high.

Xia Ye hurriedly reached out to catch it. Although the outer membrane was very hard, jumping from this height would probably hurt a lot.

But the little circle paused briefly before hitting the bottom, and then gently landed.

"The little guy actually knew how to use his superpowers to prop himself up at the last second before landing smoothly? Is he that smart?"

Natsuno thought to himself: "His superpowers are weak, but he can use them wisely. What a good kid."

Then Xiao Cai walked towards the kitchen, and when Xiao Yuan saw her, she rolled over towards Xiao Cai.

Wherever Xiao Cai goes, Xiao Yuan rolls in the same direction, following closely behind Xiao Cai.

Natsuno asked curiously, "When did you two become so close? Sure enough, our Xiao Cai is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when she sees her, cars get flat tires when they see her, and even Pokémon come along when they see her."
