Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

"Although it looks great without the outer shell, it would be more appropriate to add one."

After hearing this, the engineers high-fived each other in celebration and patted their chests, promising to give Natsuno a sturdy outer shell.

Natsuno joked that there was no need to make the outer shell so that it could protect against a one-hit kill; ordinary alloy materials would be fine.

This drew laughter from the audience, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

Upon seeing this, Daigo immediately announced that everyone would receive an additional six months' worth of bonuses, which drew cheers.

Suddenly, Natsuno remembered something and looked at the engineers with a smile.

"Everyone, I have another piece of good news to share. Although it's not as substantial as a bonus, it's still something to be happy about."

"You are the first engineers in the world to successfully manufacture gene sequencing instruments."

"They are also among the first people to undergo genetic testing, and they might even appear in history textbooks in the future."

"Come on, Daigo, find someone to arrange a group photo, and make sure it's the highest resolution one."

"We might be using textbooks in the future, so we need to prepare the materials."

The engineers all looked bewildered, while Natsuno kept urging Daigo to get it done.

Daigo had no choice but to arrange for a camera with the highest resolution to be used, and for the engineers to take a group photo around the equipment.

"Come on, everyone look at the camera, let's all shout '1, 2, 3' together, 'Seed!'"

As everyone imitated Bulbasaur's call and smiled, a photo that successfully made it into the textbook was born.

Although at this point everyone thought Natsuno was just playing around.

Later, when Daigo looked at the group photo in his textbook, he regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh in despair.

'If only I'd put up a banner for the Derwent Technology R&D Department, a subsidiary of the Zvoich family, back then! Sigh!'

'Why did it take me so long to unconditionally trust Natsuno? He seemed so unbelievable from the start!'

According to later sources, Daigo had spent a period of time frantically searching for Celebi, seemingly wanting to change something.

Unfortunately, he did not achieve his goal, and people often see Daigo sighing over the group photo on the company's honor wall.

Back to the present, seeing that the group photo was complete, Natsuno reminded Daigo to keep the photo safe and remember to send himself a copy.

"By the way, are you conducting any other related research and development? For example, ultra-high magnification electron microscopy, the kind that directly observes genes."

"Although we skipped the observation step and went straight to testing, it is still necessary to see the structure of the gene in person."

Daigo answered Natsuno's question: "Yes, but it will take some time."

"Anything else? If it's related to the drawings, just let me know. Devon Group is a company you can trust."

Seeing Natsuno shake his head, Daigo was not disappointed and led Natsuno out of the research and development room.

"Now that the business is done, where are you going next? Do you need me to take you back to Changqing City?"

Natsuno shook his head again.

Why rush back? It would be best to delay things and make Sakaki anxious for a while.

"Since we're already here, and haven't explored Dark Grey City yet, are there any iconic buildings?"

Daigo nodded repeatedly: "The Dark Grey Museum has a lot of fossil exhibits, you can go and have a look."

Natsuno was surprised that Daigo remembered the Dark Gray Museum, but he realized it only after hearing the rest of the story.

Oh, so it's because of the fossils. No wonder Daigo could remember them. Fossils are stones, right?

He waved goodbye to Daigo, saying, "Daigo, you must be very busy. I'll just go to the entrance and find someone to take me there."

"I'll leave now. I'll have you bring the equipment over when I need it later."

"By the way, we can send a few to Dr. Anthony and Dr. Oak's labs first, just say I asked them to send them."

“For PhDs from other regions, members of the academic committee will also be sent, and the number will depend on the recipient’s opinion.”

"If you have the time, we can arrange production and Pokémon gene sequencing directly."

Daigo nodded and noted it down, then suddenly slapped his forehead, revealing an apologetic expression.

"I forgot to tell you, I've already registered a patent for this Type 1 gene analyzer in your name."

"The patent has already taken effect. Will the Devon Group be licensed to produce it?"

Xia Ye nodded: "Of course I've authorized you. You're reliable partners, so I can make the arrangements directly."

Daigo bowed to Natsuno to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your trust. Devon Group will never let down any partner."

"I will notify the legal department to send you the relevant legal authorization documents. Please remember to sign and return them."

Natsuno nodded again, making sure nothing was left out, and quickly slipped away.

Sitting in the Dewen Group's car, Xia Ye felt a sense of satisfaction.

Gene sequencing is the first step; filling the database requires a lot of manpower and time.

To collect a large number of the same type of Pokémon, you need to eliminate individual differences and find the core similarities.

Once all the data has been collected, the next step is to conduct in-depth analysis to identify the traits corresponding to the genes. There's a lot to do.

Let the PhD students help collect the data; I'll just take it easy, since I really don't have the time.

With that in mind, Natsuno sent messages to all the members of the academic committee.

First, we informed them that the instrument had been successfully developed; second, we sincerely asked them to help collect data after the instrument was delivered.

The PhD students sent congratulatory messages one after another, and then all said they would ask someone to help them.

If it weren't for the need to keep a low profile, Xia Ye would have loved to give one to everyone he knew so they could all help him collect data.

Anyway, the league is giving him the highest level of funding, and Devon shouldn't be short of money.

Sitting in the car humming a little tune, Xiao Cai also started swaying her head to the rhythm of Xia Ye's music.

Its little ears twitched and its tail swayed, making it look incredibly cute.

After getting off the bus at the entrance of the Shenhui Science Museum, Xia Ye bought a ticket for 50 yuan at the ticket office.

The first-floor exhibition hall was filled with various fossils, and Xia Ye took a step toward the nearest exhibit.

A loud argument suddenly erupted from the room to the right of the entrance, drawing his attention.

A sign on the door read "Owner's Office," and the door was open; the sound gradually became clearer.

A bespectacled young man dressed in a researcher's uniform is trying to persuade an elderly man sitting in an office chair.

"But curator, amber is a very important item; the consequences of losing it would be unimaginable!"

"How important can it be? You've studied it for so long and haven't figured it out. At most, it'll just look a little nicer."

"No, amber is the essence of time frozen in time. I've figured it out. It definitely contains the genes of ancient Pokémon!"

"Sigh, we've already called the police, so we can only wait for news from the police station. Otherwise, you can try to investigate it yourself."

The old man didn't even look up, but waved his hand towards the door: "I still have a lot of things to take care of. Remember to close the door when you go out."

The bespectacled researcher raised his hand as if to say something, but ultimately lowered it helplessly.

He left the house dejectedly, making sure to close the door behind him.

He turned his head and his eyes met Natsuno's.

The other person raised their glasses, stared at Natsuno's face to confirm, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you Natsuno?"

Chapter 60: Blaming Team Rocket for all the bad things that happened in Kanto is the right thing to do.

Natsuno smiled and extended his right hand: "Hello, I am Natsuno."

The bespectacled researcher was very excited. He wiped his right hand repeatedly on his waist before carefully extending it to shake hands with Natsuno.

"I've heard so much about you, I never imagined I'd get to meet you today!"

Natsuno smiled and noticed the name tag on the other person's chest; the other person's name was Mitsunaga.

"I also have two eyes and one mouth, haven't I disappointed you?"

"By the way, what were you guys discussing just now? The door wasn't closed, and I overheard some of it."

Guangning shook his head, seemingly somewhat disappointed: "Sigh, please come with me, this is not the place to chat."

Following Guangning, we arrived at an office at the end of the road, which was very simple.

There was an empty table in the middle, and no chairs around it, which seemed to be used to place things.

After sitting down at the desk with the other person, Guangning poured Natsuno a glass of water.

"To be honest, just yesterday, Dark Grey City responded to the neighboring Evergreen City's action to aid Evergreen Forest and sent out quite a few people."

"The museum was attacked by a group of thieves yesterday afternoon, who stole a lot of things."

"Fossils are one thing, but the three secret pieces of amber in my room are the real important things!"

Guangning pointed to the empty table, his voice growing more and more excited, as if he wanted to jump up.

"Due to its solidified nature, the contents inside amber can remain unchanged for tens of thousands of years!"

"Those are lakes from tens of thousands of years ago, and I strongly suspect they contain the genes of ancient Pokémon!"

"Moreover, amber is solidified inside and can be well preserved, making it more likely to extract genes from its interior than fossils!"

"You're the one who announced the genetic theory, you should know what that means, right?"

The other person stared intently at Xia Ye, who nodded repeatedly in response.

Indeed, extracting genes from amber is much simpler than extracting them from fossils, but unfortunately there isn't that much amber.

Natsuno remembered that he still had a fossil resurrection technology quest in the system, which was still lying there untouched.

Do you know what characteristics thieves have? Can you find any clues?

When faced with Natsuno's question, the other party shook his head, looking very unnatural.

"The thieves were well-trained; they first blocked the signal, then covered the entire museum with hypnotic powder."
