The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 159 The Special Effects of BB Corn

Just as Jiang Yan and Alola Ninetales were finishing their ice cream, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the research institute.

Jiang Yan looked up and saw Professor Oak rushing out of the research institute, his face flushed with excitement.

Jiang Yan quickly put the last bit of Moo Ee Milk Ice Cream into his mouth, then looked at Professor Oak running over and asked him a question.

"Professor Oak, you seem so excited. You must have made a major discovery in your research, right?"

Professor Oak stopped beside Jiang Yan, looking at him with barely suppressed excitement.

"Young friend Jiang Yan, the ingredients you provided are truly a wonderful surprise!"

"These ingredients are extremely nutritious, and adding them to Pokémon Cubes can greatly improve a Pokémon's physique and growth efficiency!"

"But what impressed me the most was BB popcorn!"

As Professor Oak spoke, his voice rose a few decibels, and his eyes shone as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

"After repeated analysis with sophisticated instruments, it has been confirmed that there is a special active substance in BB popcorn that has never been seen before."

"This substance not only directly accelerates the growth rate of Pokémon, but also enhances the efficiency of Pokémon's body in absorbing nutrients, allowing nutrients to be utilized to the maximum extent!"

After a pause, Professor Oak explained with increasing excitement.

Do you know what this means?

"The reason why the starter Pokémon are the first choice for novice trainers is because they have outstanding potential, grow quickly, and can grow together with novice trainers."

"But once the active ingredients in BB Popcorn are extracted and made into exclusive Pokémon Cubes, novice trainers will be able to choose more Pokémon that originally grew slowly!"

"It's not just ordinary Pokémon, it's even more important for pseudo-legendary Pokémon!"

Professor Oak waved his hand, unable to hide his excitement.

"Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are incredibly powerful, but their growth cycle is extremely long, making them the biggest challenge in the breeding industry."

"But with BB Corn, the growth time of pseudo-legendary Pokémon can be greatly shortened, allowing them to grow up much faster!"

"Of course, how to extract the active substances still requires extensive experimental verification, but this is already a groundbreaking discovery!"

'

'

Jiang Yan listened quietly to Professor Oak's explanation, not too surprised.

The ingredients produced in the Forest of Wu inherently possess a strange power.

Even the sauce made from the Star of the Earth Fruit can instantly ripen the middle section of Burberry, which requires seven days to mature.

It's only natural that BB corn promotes growth.

This is indeed good news for Jiang Yan.

He has a large stockpile of BB corn, enough that even if he sells it all, he can still replenish it in the world of Gourmet Captives.

Moreover, given its excellent results, its value must be substantial.

Trading a BB corn kernel for a starter Pokémon shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Just as Jiang Yan was pondering how to set a price...

Professor Oak calmed his excitement and looked at Jiang Yan earnestly, asking him a question.

"BB corn is a very useful ingredient for raising Pokémon."

"Next, I will report the research results to the alliance, and the alliance will then discuss the transaction with you. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Jiang Yan originally wanted to use the trade to obtain more Pokémon he wanted."

Without a doubt, aside from legendary Pokémon, the League has the most complete collection of Pokémon. Trading with the League would be more advantageous for Jiang Yan, provided the trade goes smoothly.

Jiang Yan wasn't worried about this, since he had a divine beast with him.

Therefore, Jiang Yan nodded without hesitation.

"sure."

Seeing Jiang Yan agree so readily, Professor Oak breathed a sigh of relief, but then became somewhat hesitant, rubbing his hands together gently, looking on with a hint of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled helplessly and took the initiative to ask.

"Doctor, is there anything else? Just tell me."

Upon hearing this, Professor Oak explained his thoughts.

"Young friend Jiang Yan, BB corn has such amazing effects. I'm wondering about the gem meat and pufferfish whale you mentioned before..."

Could it also contain some special effects?

"Therefore, I'd like to exchange some with you for further research. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

For him, gemstone meat and pufferfish whale meat could no longer enhance his gourmet cells, but at least they tasted very delicious. Jiang Yan had no intention of selling them as easily as BB corn.

So Jiang Yan looked at Professor Oak and spoke frankly.

"Exchange is possible, but I must make it clear beforehand that the gem meat and pufferfish whale I have are extremely rare, so their value will be higher than BB corn."

In fact, Jiang Yan agreed to the exchange mainly because he wanted to see if Professor Oak could research the special effects of Ruby Meat and Whalefury on Pokémon.

If it's useful, it will be of great help to him in training Charmander and other Pokémon later on.

Professor Oak was overjoyed to hear that Jiang Yan had agreed to the deal and immediately asked questions.

"No problem! As long as you're willing, we can discuss any terms! Don't know how to proceed with the transaction?"

Jiang Yan was waiting for this very sentence, and he didn't mince words, directly stating his needs.

-

"I need a small lucky egg, but a jelly egg is fine too."

"Also, there's the Galar region's Fruit Eater and Little Fairy Milk, and the Padia region's Mini Fou. If you have their evolved forms, that's best. If not, you'll need to add all the evolution items required for their evolution."

"There should be more Little Fairy Milks, and all the evolution items for each shape should be available."

After stating his needs, Jiang Yan then outlined the conditions he could offer.

"I can use one kilogram of gemstone meat and a pufferfish whale."

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's request, Professor Oak's smile froze, and he looked troubled.

Eggicatch is actually a very rare Pokémon in the Kanto region. Most of them are kept by the Nurse Joy family. After evolving into Chansey, they work full-time at Pokémon Centers and are rarely seen outside the region.

Fruitbug and Sylveon are Pokémon from the Galar region, while Minifox is even further away in the Padilla region.

His research institute only has a few Alcremie. To collect them all would require using the League's resources and cross-regional coordination, which would be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and extremely troublesome.

Professor Oak pondered for a long time, considering the significant importance of the ingredients Jiang Yan provided to the Pokémon breeding community, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Okay! I'll collect all the Pokémon and evolution items for you!"

"However, cross-regional allocation takes time, at least a week."

Jiang Yan was overjoyed to see that Professor Oak had agreed.

Without Professor Oak's help, he would have to travel to Galar and Padia on his own, a long journey that would take an immeasurable amount of time.

This undoubtedly saves him countless troubles.

Jiang Yan immediately smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I can wait."

Upon receiving Jiang Yan's reply, Professor Oak smiled with relief.

After all, it would take a long time, and he was really worried that Jiang Yan wouldn't be able to wait.

Professor Oak glanced at the Alola Ninetales, its nine tails curled up and contentedly licking Moo Moo Milk Ice Cream, and swallowed hard.

Jiang Yan pretended not to see it. He was already out of Moo Milk Ice Cream, and he couldn't very well give the Alola Ninetales's to Professor Oak.

-

Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, Professor Oak looked at Jiang Yan in front of him.

"Don't worry, I will contact the League headquarters immediately and deliver the Pokémon you need safely here as quickly as possible."

Jiang Yan nodded; he still had some trust in Professor Oak.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan simply took out the two rare ingredients he had promised to exchange: a piece of lustrous, gem-like meat and a plump pufferfish whale.

A strange aroma wafted through the air, and even the Alola Ninetales, which was licking Moo Moo Milk Ice Cream, couldn't help but raise its head, its sapphire eyes sweeping over the two ingredients.

Jiang Yan pointed at the pufferfish whale and looked at Professor Oak to ask a question.

"Professor Oak, the venom of the pufferfish whale is extremely potent and can easily cause complete poisoning, rendering it unfit for consumption. Would you like me to remove the venom sac now?"

Professor Oak didn't know much about pufferfish whales, but he trusted Jiang Yan a lot.

"Thank you for your help!"

Having received permission, Jiang Yan immediately took action.

He took out a Melker cleaver, skillfully cut open the pufferfish whale, found the venom sac hidden inside its body, and quickly removed it intact.

However, Professor Oak did not let the removed poison sacs go to waste, as they were also excellent research material.

He took out a specially made sealed container and carefully stored the venom sac inside.

After doing all this, Professor Oak picked up the gem meat, the prepared pufferfish whale, and the container containing the venom sac, his eyes burning with eager anticipation.

He quickly greeted Jiang Yan and then hurriedly turned and headed straight for the laboratory.
