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

"It's Lao Xiao! Long time no see! Did you bring your students here for an exchange program?"

Chen He seemed very easygoing, and he had a warm smile on his face when he spoke.

If it weren't for the various instruments placed around him, Mu Yun would have thought he was just an old man downstairs who loved to sunbathe.

"Well, this is to broaden the students' horizons."

Vice Dean Xiao asked, "What's going on here?"

She glanced at the helmet-like but rather rugged-looking iron hat next to Chen He.

"I was doing some research in my spare time, and I ran into a problem, so I asked Lao Gong to take a look," Chen He said with a smile.

"Sorry, I'll be a little late," Gong Hong said, glancing up briefly before immediately looking down and getting back to work.

Judging from this, it doesn't seem like it will be delayed for a while.

"I'm sorry, everyone, my teacher is always like this when she's working. When she gets busy, she even relies on nutrient solutions to eat," Chen Li said apologetically from the side.

"It's alright, I understand. Experiments require this kind of focused spirit." Vice Dean Xiao waved his hand dismissively.

She claimed to be there for exchange and learning, but in reality, she was just bringing her students on a tour to experience the atmosphere of the research institute.

It's not that Gong Hong really needs to say anything herself.

Even if Gong Hong wanted to teach, the students wouldn't understand.

The gap is too big.

"How about this, after the tour, if there's anything that interests you, you can go and observe it now. Even if you can't try it out, it's still beneficial to see more," Chen Li said.

Upon hearing this, some of the students indeed became interested and looked at Vice Dean Xiao.

Only after receiving her approval did the group take action.

After informing Chen Li, the students hurriedly left the laboratory.

"Mu Yun, what about you?"

Seeing that only Mu Yun remained silent, Chen Li stepped forward and asked.

She still paid close attention to this handsome, clever, and intelligent junior.

"Can I stay and look at this?"

Mu Yun pointed to a spot not far away.

Chen Li looked up and saw that it was Gong Hong, who was still busy at her workstation.

Seeing this, Chen Li immediately looked troubled.

As Chen He's daughter and Gong Hong's student, she was naturally easy to talk to in the other groups.

But she clearly couldn't make decisions for the teacher.

Fortunately, Chen He spoke up at the right moment: "If you're curious, stay and take a look. It's not a secret."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen."

Mu Yun thanked him and then took a few steps forward with Patrick Star.

Actually, it wasn't Mu Yun who was interested in this, but Patrick Star who was very interested in that helmet-like creation.

If conditions permit, he would even like to study it himself.

"No, it still doesn't match."

After studying for a while, Gong Hong frowned, her voice full of anxiety and helplessness.

"It's alright, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. After all, it's a newly developed experimental machine, so it's normal to have problems. We'll take it slowly."

Chen He, on the other hand, took it all in stride and even comforted Gong Hong.

"Dad, what is this?"

Chen Li glanced at Mu Yun, who had been silently watching the helmet, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"A device for Psychic-type Pokémon..." Chen He explained.

The Amplification Helmet is the temporary name for this device.

It is a device that can stimulate specific parts of a Pokémon's genes through a special resonance frequency, thereby enhancing the strength and stability of the psychic Pokémon's psychic power.

Chen He sought out Gong Hong because the issue involved elf genes.

"Then why not ask my mom?"

Chen Li was taken aback and asked.

Although Gong Hong has made significant achievements in gene research, she is still far behind her mother.

After all, her mother is a top international genetics PhD, the one who discovered and definitively established the fairy attribute.

Su Xin is also one of the co-founders of the New Nuclear Research Institute.

"Your mom is so busy these days that I can't even see her anymore, there's nothing I can do," Chen He said, shrugging his shoulders, indicating that he was powerless to help.

"You can't always look for help when you encounter problems. If you do that every time, how will you face challenges independently and how will you improve in the future!" Gong Hong frowned and said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li pursed her lips, not daring to refute, but still muttered something under her breath, such as, "Didn't my dad come to find you too?", "Who said there's strength in numbers?", "Just say what's on your mind, don't keep things to yourself."

"Um, could I take a look at this?"

Just then, Mu Yun suddenly spoke.

"you?"

Gong Hong, who was about to continue speaking, looked Mu Yun up and down.

The unfamiliar yet youthful faces suggest they are probably still students.

What can you understand?

However, Gong Hong didn't say it aloud.

Chen Li is his student, and it is his duty as a teacher to educate her.

But Mu Yun wasn't his student, so he couldn't be bothered to waste words.

Therefore, he looked directly at Chen He, since it was he who brought the items.

"Look, it's just a testing machine."

Chen He didn't care.

His daughter's gaze kept falling on this young man, and he was quite curious about what it was that attracted her.

After receiving Chen He's approval, Gong Hong stood up and made way for Mu Yun.

To his surprise, Mu Yun didn't move. Instead, the gem starfish next to him leaped onto the worktable.

Gong Hong frowned again.

Psychic-type Pokémon are indeed intelligent, but this intelligence is more evident in their memory and calculation abilities.

In pure experimentation, especially in cutting-edge experimental projects, they are actually inferior to humans.

Letting the elves come up is just ridiculous!

However, seeing that Chen He didn't speak, Gong Hong didn't say anything either.

As I said before, Mu Yun wasn't his student, and he couldn't be bothered to say anything.

"Dad, teacher, this starfish is amazing! It was just downstairs..."

Chen Li seemed to want to speak up for Mu Yun, and immediately recounted Patrick Star's behavior downstairs.

Upon hearing this, Chen He immediately became interested.

As the creator of the artificial elf Rotom, Chen He's understanding of elves is among the world's best.

They naturally knew that even a normal starfish, even one of the Elite Four or Champion level, could never reach that level.

This is not a matter of rank or strength.

An experiment isn't like throwing a javelin; there's no such thing as a powerful brick flying through the air.

Of course, while he was interested, he didn't think Patrick Star would achieve anything significant.

After all, experiments are not like battles between elves; they rely on more than just talent and flashes of inspiration. Daily accumulation and a solid foundation of knowledge are of utmost importance.

Even a college student, even a senior at Heijiang University, wouldn't have a very deep understanding of their major...

"Buzz~~~"

A sudden buzzing sound rang out in the laboratory, interrupting Chen He's thoughts.

He instinctively looked up at the sound and saw that the helmet, made of a special alloy, was now gleaming with a hazy gray light.

That's the helmet activation indicator!

So, it works now?

What just happened?

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

Take a day off and you'll be fully recharged!

╰（￣▽￣）╭

The year is over, time to gather my manuscripts and fulfill my promise from before the new year, and finally do a long-awaited 10,000-word daily post!

Finally, I will strive to finish this book without any regrets!

By the way, if there are any plot holes I haven't filled, or any storylines you'd like to see, please leave them in this sentence. I will prioritize them and try my best to explain everything that needs to be explained and write everything that needs to be written.

Even if there's something that can't be fully developed later, at least an outline will be posted.

As for how long I'll continue writing this book, judging from the current data, I estimate that two more months will be my limit.

Seriously, this data is entirely thanks to the author's reluctance to let go and their love for the work (┬_┬).

Elf literature is still too niche; I probably won't be writing it again for a very, very long time...

∪﹏∪

that's all.
