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

Ye Feng stared at the cube, which was as big as a bowl, and was speechless. Clearly, this was not the energy cube he remembered.

I tried the taste, but it didn't work either.

"Try making it smaller, so you can have more of it."

Continue to improve.

···

After an afternoon of experimentation, the research on the energy cube has finally taken a successful step.

With Ralts' help, Ye Feng was able to make small cube-shaped fruit puree—yes, only the shape and size were exactly as Ye Feng remembered.

The taste is still hard to describe; even a dog wouldn't eat it if you threw it out.

"Is this color due to uneven mixing of tree fruits? It looks like there are quite a few impurities."

Ye Feng held a cube in his hand and examined it carefully under the light.

He remembered that energy cubes should be pure, solid-colored crystals, not something like the ones he had made, which at first glance looked...indescribable.

So the question is, how do we improve the purity?

Ye Feng's first thought was to increase the mixing speed, but the mixer was already running at its highest speed and couldn't be increased any further.

How about we let Ralts speed it up?

"Ralts, try speeding up the blender and making it spin faster."

Ralts nodded.

Ye Feng turned on the power, and Ralts released its psychic power. Under the influence of the psychic power, the blender's speed increased several times in an instant, making a loud booming sound.

Ye Feng's brow twitched, a bad feeling creeping over him: "Wait, Ralts, first..." He turned and ran, not even finishing his sentence.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Ye Feng felt wet, unidentified objects splattering onto the back of his head, and his ears started ringing.

"Lu···"

Ralts' eyes rolled around, and it staggered to the ground, making a gurgling sound.

Ye Feng turned around and was startled. He quickly ran over, hugged Ralts, and began to examine it.

"Ralts, how are you? Where are you hurt?"

"Lu, La~"

Ralts shook his head, then shook his head again to indicate that he was fine.

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It was bad enough that the energy cube creation had failed, but if Ralts had also been injured, this would have been a huge loss.

Ye Feng looked at the mess in the room. Fruit puree was everywhere—on the ceiling, floor, walls, even the bed. The shape and color of the puree were truly indescribable…

"Ralts, first... ugh... deal with this fruit puree... ugh! I'll go wash it... ugh, wash it. When you're done... ugh, come over here too, ugh!"

Ye Feng rushed to the bathroom while retching.

Ralts gave Ye Feng a resentful look, then pitifully began to release its Nen power to process the indescribable fruit puree.

Chapter 16 looked very simple and I completed it.

The production of the energy cubes was halted due to the machine's explosion.

There's no way to continue the research until we get a new machine.

Ye Feng then thought about whether he should take this opportunity to change his residence.

The recent accident served as a wake-up call for him; his living space was indeed a bit too small. If he had a dedicated room for experiments, such an accident wouldn't have happened. The whole room was a mess...

Ugh, stop thinking about it, it's disgusting.

Since we're moving to a different place, we'll have to reconsider the mixer.

A regular household blender is definitely not enough; that's only used for making juice and such. It doesn't meet Ye Feng's needs at all, so he needs to order a custom-made one from the manufacturer.

Ye Feng turned on his computer and searched for relevant information online. He quickly found a suitable machine: a small high-speed mixer for laboratory use.

The "Freitos Ultra-High Speed ​​Disperser" integrates ultra-high speed dispersion and automatic stroke control technology to meet customers' application needs for ultra-high speed dispersion and homogenization emulsification; its ultra-high speed motor can reach a maximum speed of...

With a high speed of revolutions per minute, large torque, low noise, and low energy consumption, this mixer is also controlled by a large-size touch screen, making it simple and easy to operate; it can accommodate material cylinders with a capacity of 0.5L to 5L to meet different experimental needs.

Ye Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the product introduction. High speed, low noise, simple and easy to use, it can efficiently and evenly stir materials and can also separate them. Isn't this exactly what he needs?

However, Ye Feng was not in a hurry to place an order. He decided to find a new place to live first, otherwise there would be nowhere to put the machine after it was delivered.

After bookmarking the webpage, Ye Feng began browsing rental listings on the DaSheBei rental website.

Ye Feng's plan was to rent a house with a basement.

Even if the mixer is very quiet, it will still make noise, and researching the energy cube might disturb others.

This is a minor issue. If the matter of the energy cube were to be exposed, Ye Feng felt it would cause a significant uproar. It wasn't that Ye Feng was selfish; it was simply that now was not the time to release this product. He needed to wait until he had the strength and influence to speak on it. Otherwise, the hasty release of a product like the energy cube could bring him utter ruin.

However, if there were a basement, the problem would be solved, and there would be no need to worry about being discovered by others.

But after looking around for a long time, Ye Feng could only find that the villa had a basement attached.

"There's no other way, so let's just rent a villa. It's a little wasteful, but safety is the most important thing."

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Feng decided to rent a villa. Anyway, the rent wasn't expensive, and he wouldn't feel bad about renting it for a year or two.

Ye Feng is a man of action. He immediately contacted the real estate agent, went to see the house, signed the contract, and paid the money, all in one go.

The agent said this was the fastest deal he had ever made.

-------------------------------------

After hiring a moving company to move some essentials to the villa, we were finally settled.

The speed was so fast that even Ye Feng himself felt it was somewhat hasty.

The mixer has also been delivered. Now that the site is more spacious, Ye Feng bought an additional cooling machine.

After ordering a batch of tree fruits online, I took the remaining fruits to the basement to continue my experiments and verify my hypothesis.

In previous experiments, Ye Feng was able to create energy cubes that met the required shape, but they tasted terrible and were products that were all form and no substance.

Ye Feng recalled the previous process: first, the tree fruit was cut into easy-to-mix pieces, then put into a mixer without adding water, and mixed directly. After the tree fruit was completely turned into a paste, it was compressed and shaped, and finally cooled and solidified.

The idea should be correct, but the question is how to remove impurities and improve purity, and in which process should this be done?

Ye Feng thought for a moment and realized that this step could only be done while stirring.

But how could it be done? With its superpowers, Ralts simply couldn't perform such precise maneuvers at this ultra-high speed. Ye Feng boldly guessed that even if Ralts evolved into Gardevoir, it probably wouldn't be able to do this.

Since it cannot be done manually, we can only rely on machines.

Ye Feng specifically bought this "Frethos Ultra-High-Speed ​​Dispersing Mixer" for this very moment.

After cutting the tree fruit into pieces and putting them into the feed hopper, Ye Feng thought for a moment and first set it to...

Rotation speed per minute, similar to that of a regular blender.

As the power was turned on, the fruit quickly crumbled, turned into powder, and turned into mud.

This time, Ye Feng plans to stir for a longer time to see if he can mix the different fruits more evenly and separate the impurities from the essence.

As time went by, Ye Feng noticed that the fruit puree remained unchanged, still in that mixed state.

Turn off the power and let Ralts throw the fruit puree into the cooler.

"It seems this won't work." Ye Feng looked at the "energy cube" in his hand, which wasn't much different from the previous one.

"Let's try increasing the engine speed."

"Or not."

"No."

"Again..."

For half a month, Ye Feng spent his time in the basement, working tirelessly on experiments. He lost count of how many he failed and how many fruits he wasted. The bags of fruit in the basement had piled up into a small mountain.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and the production of the energy cube has finally made progress.

When the mixer speed increases to the maximum speed

After stirring continuously for an hour, the consistency of the fruit puree finally changed.

The fruit puree in the container began to separate into layers; the upper part gradually became transparent, while the lower part became more mixed.

"This is···"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up. Could it be that he had succeeded?
