I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

The judges looked at each other, puzzled. They'd never heard of such a name before.

"This energy cube is a kind of nutrient, which can be considered a type of food for elves," Ye Feng explained.

"Nutritional supplements? Elf food?" Master Lu became interested and was about to get up when Ye Feng handed him the plate.

"You're quite perceptive." Master Lu smiled, then held up two fingers and examined a piece.

"This is..." The more Master Lu looked, the more solemn his expression became. He twitched his nose and was able to distinguish 5-6 kinds of tree fruits from the fragrance.

Master Lu pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly realized, his eyes filled with shock: "This is the concentrated essence of tree fruit? And with such high purity?"

As a master breeder, he could roughly understand what the energy cube was made of just by touching it, smelling it, and observing its texture, but he didn't know how it was made or its specific effects.

The two professors of Pokémon studies were also shocked, and each of them picked up a piece to examine it closely.

Chapter 178 To make elves grow faster, they need to eat energy cubes.

Dr. Yu held an energy cube in his hand, observed it carefully for a while, and noticed some clues, which made him marvel.

After glancing at Ye Feng, he asked Dr. Hong beside him, "Did you see anything?"

Dr. Hong sniffed carefully and nodded: "I can smell it. It should be made from a mixture of four kinds of fruit: lotus fruit, chocolate fruit, fulu fruit, and luomei fruit."

"No, to be precise, there are five types, and one of them is a pomegranate," Master Lu shook his head and corrected.

"A durian? I remember this tree fruit is..."

"If a Pokémon eats this, it can significantly reduce the power of one Dragon-type move for a certain period of time, provided that the Pokémon's type is weak against Dragon."

Before Dr. Yu could finish speaking, Dr. Hong interrupted him, and Yu couldn't help but glare at him. Dr. Hong chuckled.

Dr. Yu sniffed the energy cube again, nodded in agreement, and said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. This kind of fruit is rarely used, so I really couldn't tell the difference at first."

"However, to be able to mix so many kinds of tree fruits together, just by looking at their appearance you can tell that the purity is very high, and the state is so stable..." Master Lu couldn't help but look at Ye Feng.

"Did you research this?"

"Yes, it's me." Ye Feng nodded.

That's true. He was indeed the first to produce the finished product, and he developed the main formula through continuous experimentation. Guo Pengfei's main contributions were the purification technology and the tree fruit mixer.

"Tell me about the results," Master Lu asked.

Ye Feng nodded and began to explain: "First of all, these energy cubes are one of my achievements, and there are more than twenty others. This type is mainly used to improve the physical attributes of Pokémon and increase their ability to withstand attacks."

Master Lu nodded. The tree fruits that make up these energy cubes all reduce the damage of attacks, so it's reasonable that they would create such an effect when mixed together.

"From what you're saying, this improvement is comprehensive?" Dr. You astutely grasped the key information in Ye Feng's words.

“That’s right.” Ye Feng nodded. “Because it improves physical fitness, it also makes one more resistant to various attacks.”

"For all attributes?"

"all."

"Isn't this a bit too much?" The group exchanged glances, all somewhat skeptical.

"It's not an exaggeration. The improvement isn't actually that significant, and it also has a limit. After consuming a certain amount, it will lose its effect. As for how much to consume, that depends on the Pokémon's talent."

"In addition, these energy cubes are more effective for tough Pokémon; however, for Pokémon that are inherently fragile, the effect is not as noticeable because their growth potential in this area is already low."

"Simply put, this is similar to promoting development."

"That makes sense." The group nodded.

"But it's still very good. When combined with proper training, it can significantly shorten the time required to raise a Pokémon," Master Sang said.

"This thing...you said there are other kinds?" Master Lu squinted and carefully examined Ye Feng.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of what Ye Feng said. The only difference between those that could be displayed here was their quality; there were never any counterfeit or inferior products mixed in.

No one would dare to do it.

"Yes, there are also those that enhance mental strength, physical strength, and speed..." Ye Feng rattled off a list of energy cubes with various effects, adding at the end, "Of course, they all have an upper limit."

"Old Lu, what do you think?" Master Sang asked Master Lu.

"Hmm... This thing might not be particularly useful for trainers of my level, but it's a very good thing for other levels, especially for trainers of lower and mid-level."

"Combining Energy Cubes with training can significantly reduce the time needed to raise Pokémon, and trainers will level up much faster. You know what that means, right?"

"This means that if this thing is widely adopted, it will greatly promote the growth of our low- to mid-level trainers in China."

"To put it bluntly, this could practically be considered a strategic resource..."

Master Lu began his analysis seriously, and his words revealed a very high level of approval for the energy cube.

The two doctors and the expert who invented the magical items—three heads in total—joined in the discussion.

On stage, several bigwigs were discussing privately, while Ye Feng stood blankly to the side.

The people in the audience started to discuss it, because 10 minutes had passed since Ye Feng went on stage, and there was still no sign of him coming down. Moreover, judging from the situation, what Ye Feng was showing was not simple.

Seeing that the bigwigs were discussing something, the host didn't dare to interrupt.

"Ye Feng, can you mass-produce this thing?" The five people turned around and looked at Ye Feng together, their eyes burning with desire as if they wanted to devour him whole.

Ye Feng was startled and subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, the instincts he had developed in the secret realm made him scan the surroundings, looking for a suitable escape route.

But she quickly realized what was happening, and thankfully she hadn't stopped talking, otherwise she would have aroused suspicion: "Um, my little brother, no, I mean my classmate, that guy from earlier, his name is Guo Pengfei, he created the Tree Berry Mixer, which can automatically produce Energy Blocks... If this machine can be mass-produced, blocks shouldn't be a problem either..."

Ye Feng didn't know how Guo Pengfei had managed to develop the tree fruit mixer, so he didn't dare to speak too confidently.

"You have the machine? That's easy, just let the technical department research it." Dr. You's eyes lit up.

"This should not be circulated for the time being," Dr. Hong said in a low voice, walking up to Ye Feng and taking his hand.

"But..." Ye Feng looked around. With so many people in the venue today, how could he possibly hide?

"It's alright, just don't reveal the specific recipe and preparation method. Knowing the name won't hurt. Come to the conference room at noon, and we'll discuss this in detail," Dr. Hong said.

"Well... okay then." Ye Feng nodded.

Although Ye Feng didn't know why they were so nervous, he vaguely understood what his teacher meant by what he had said earlier.

Am I being too narrow-minded? But the Ability Cube is so important, why didn't the teacher stop me? Ye Feng asked himself silently.

Ye Feng walked off the stage and spotted Deng Ruizhe smiling at him.

A thought flashed through Ye Feng's mind: Could it be that the teacher had anticipated this situation? That's why he didn't stop him?

"Sorry, we were a little delayed because some judges were discussing something, so the morning presentations are over. Please have a good rest at noon, we have even more exciting content this afternoon..." The host wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, Ye Feng was the last one to go on stage, so no one would rush him, and the people who came to watch wouldn't mind wasting a little time.

They were simply very curious about what exactly the energy cube Ye Feng had shown them was...

A few inconspicuously dressed people walked out of the crowd, constantly tapping on their phone screens, seemingly conveying some message.

There's a privacy screen protector on the screen, so only the phone's owner can see what's written on it.

Chapter 179 Are we going to have to come in upright today and never be able to leave?

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Ye Feng arrived at the conference room carrying a backpack containing some ability cubes and a complete thesis. Behind him followed a person pushing a cart with a tree fruit mixer on it.

"Knock knock knock!" Ye Feng

"Come in." A voice came from inside the door. Ye Feng recognized the voice; it didn't seem to be one of the people from before.

Ye Feng carefully pushed the door open and saw several people sitting in front of a long conference table.

I counted, there were 7 people in total.

Who did we attract? Ye Feng's heart began to race, and he couldn't help but worry.

"Won't I come in standing up today and then never be able to leave?"

"Ye Feng, come in quickly!" Master Lu saw Ye Feng standing blankly at the door, staring into the room, so he had to whisper a reminder.

"Ah? Oh!"

Ye Feng snapped out of his daze, got up and walked inside, but accidentally bumped into the door, wincing in pain.

"Young man, don't be nervous." At this moment, a pair of broad and strong hands supported his shoulders.

Ye Feng subconsciously looked up and was stunned for a moment, feeling that the old man in front of him looked somewhat familiar.

"You are..."

"My name is Gu Yangzhou." The old man had a full head of white hair and a face full of wrinkles, but his eyes were bright and piercing. Ye Feng could feel the powerful aura emanating from him.

"Gu Yangzhou..." Ye Feng murmured the name, feeling that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Hehe, it seems that you don't watch the news much, Xiao Feng. I, this old man, consider myself to have a pretty high media presence." Gu Yangzhou patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

The rest of the people in the meeting room stood there, all laughing good-naturedly.

"Um, I'm usually... pretty busy, with classes, training, school team training camps and stuff..." Ye Feng didn't sense any malice and immediately felt a little relieved, scratching the back of his head and smiling awkwardly.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, very promising for a young age." Gu Yangzhou nodded in satisfaction.

"Um, Grandpa Gu... who exactly are you...?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Gu Yangzhou was taken aback for a moment, then stroked his chin and burst into laughter.
