Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

The next day.

Xindu High-tech Scientific Research Special Zone.

This is a special research zone located in the suburbs of Xindu. Within the well-planned area are research institutions of all sizes.

Mu Yun and his group arrived early in front of a large building that was entirely composed of silver and light blue.

This is their first stop.

Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute.

As the largest gene research institute in Xindu, this entire building, along with several surrounding buildings, serves as the office space for the Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute.

As soon as Mu Yun approached the building, he felt a cool breeze carrying the scent of scientific research.

"Rotom, how many times have I told you, don't let the wind blow on the guests!!"

The one who was speaking was a young woman in a white coat, and the one being lectured by her was a red sprite that shone with an orange glow and resembled an electric fan.

"So this is Rotom...?"

Mu Yun looked curiously at the electric fan floating in mid-air in front of him.

Unlike ordinary elves, Rotom has two levels.

A level in the electric fan mode, level 33, which is the mid-stage of the professional level.

One is level 46, which is in the late stage of the elite level.

Clearly, the electric fan it possessed could not perform to its full potential.

"A spirit that really needs a lot of accessories..."

Mu Yun secretly passed through.

"Loto~~"

Just then, Rotom, who was attached to the electric fan, suddenly let out a chuckle, followed by a whoosh and a sudden burst of light.

Amidst the curious or surprised gazes of the crowd, an ordinary electric fan fell from mid-air, and a red sprite radiating a pale blue light appeared in mid-air.

That was Rotom's original form, an elite-level late-stage Electric/Ghost dual-attribute Pokémon.

The amazing thing is that even though it lost its levitation properties after being separated from the electric fan, it still retains the ability to fly.

"Rotom, you're littering again!"

The young woman in the white coat quickly caught the falling electric fan while scolding it.

Rotom, however, acted as if nothing had happened, chuckled, and then another light shone.

Transformed into a drone, it took off and flew away in the blink of an eye.

"I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing!"

The young woman, holding the electric fan, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said apologetically.

What was supposed to be a simple reception task turned into this mess because of Rotom's interference.

How embarrassing!

"fine."

Vice Dean Xiao paid no attention to this incident. Instead, he looked curiously at Rotom, who had flown away, and asked, "Is this the artificial elf your institute created?"

She had only heard of this elf before, but this was the first time she had seen it in person.

"That's right, this is the special spirit artificially synthesized by Dr. Chen He, a magical spirit that can merge with various electrical energy devices—Rotom!"

When introducing Rotom, the young woman's tone and expression were full of pride and joy.

This is normal, after all, Dr. Chen He himself came from the Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Chen Li, and I am an assistant researcher at the Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute. The person in charge of this exchange program is my teacher, Dr. Gong Hong."

Chen Li said.

Dr. Gong Hong is a senior researcher at the Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute who is the most promising candidate for promotion to Elf Doctor in recent years.

He once served as Dr. Chen He's assistant and is a researcher with significant achievements in the field of elf genetic research.

This demonstrates the importance that Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute attaches to Heijiang University.

Led by Chen Li, the group quickly entered the building of the New City Elf Gene Research Institute.

The layout of the first floor is not much different from that of a typical commercial office building, with a spacious lobby, a young and attractive receptionist, and a tea room for relaxation.

But when they stepped out of the elevator and onto the second floor, the atmosphere instantly changed.

The relaxed atmosphere vanished instantly, replaced by a bustling, energetic vibe.

Although they looked very busy, most of them were in good spirits.

This is quite different from the 996 work schedule, which is known as the "overtime horse".

It's clear that either the Xindu Elf Gene Research Institute has a great work atmosphere, or the pay is very high, or both. Otherwise, it's just a job, so where would such enthusiasm come from?

"This is Group Three, researching the genes of the Eevee, focusing on the differentiation genes. This is Group Seven, researching the genes of the Eevee, focusing on the unstable genes..."

Chen Li gave Mu Yun and the others a brief introduction.

"If you're interested, you can come closer and take a look."

With that, Chen Li led them into the research lab of Group Seven.

After greeting the group leader, a research station was set up for everyone to take turns trying it out.

It was a device that looked like a high-powered microscope, surrounded by a bunch of instruments that could emit beams of light, and next to it were several large high-resolution screens displaying cell-like images and all sorts of mind-boggling data.

Because he had never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before, even after looking at it for a short while, Mu Yun still couldn't understand what the data meant.

I could only roughly guess that this was something being recorded.

Patrick Star, standing beside him with a temporary visitor's badge, observed everything around him with great interest.

"Hey, can I try out this device?"

Patrick asked telepathically.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun asked Chen Li a question.

Chen Li looked at Mu Yun's face for a while, then at Patrick Star beside him who seemed harmless, and nodded.

Although Starmie is not as intelligent as Alakazam and Metagross, as one of the Psychic-type Pokémon, they are actually quite clever.

As long as you don't damage the equipment, there's nothing wrong with taking a look.

If he messes it up, we'll make this handsome young man work at the research institute, hehehe~~~
