I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chen Mu's live stream was shut down, but news about him continued to spread rapidly online, with his popularity soaring.

It was almost noon, a time when most netizens wouldn't be very active online, but the level of discussion it sparked was unprecedented.

Many independent media outlets spontaneously edited and uploaded clips from Chen Mu's live stream this morning.

So, just over ten hours later, Viridian Forest once again topped the Indigo League's trending topics list.

Along with these trending topics, other major hashtags such as "Rockets," "Rust Gang," and "Ibrahimovic" also made it to the top of the trending searches.

Incidentally, this also allowed Chen Mu, a rising star streamer, to make it into the top ten trending searches at the bottom of the list.

As a streamer, Chen Mu has already made it onto the League of Legends trending topics twice in just two days since his debut, a record that is unprecedented and likely to remain so.

As the buzz continued to rise, by that afternoon even Sakaki, who was far away in Golden City, received a phone call.

After learning about the situation, he immediately convened a remote video conference at the underground base in Golden City.

At the meeting, other senior cadres had all learned some of the news in advance, but Athena, who was in charge of overseas business development, was hearing about it for the first time and was extremely angry.

"How could we be so foolish as to let the entire alliance know what we've been doing for over thirty years? Who exactly is this Jubei under?"

No one answered the video call.

Only Natsume gave a cryptic smile.

She was mocking Athena for speaking without thinking.

Jubei is a direct trainer of the Viridian Dojo. Don't you know who the current gym leader of the Viridian Dojo is?

I feel like this stupid woman won't be able to go back to Quartz next year.

Sakaki tapped the armrest of the boss's chair, signaling to end the conversation.

He still loves the boss's chair with its large backrest and armrests, and especially likes to sit in the most shaded spot in the room.

(Classic sitting posture)

"This can't be blamed on Jubei. With such a huge benefit in the appearance of the Eevee tribe in Viridian Forest, the Alliance will eventually investigate past grievances and use them to put pressure on us."

Do you really think that without the Rust Gang, the Alliance can't find out what we did in the past?

Don't underestimate the Alliance. If they want to investigate, they can find out anything. They just didn't want to provoke us before because no one was provoking them.

But now this pie has grown too big; it's only a matter of time before it's exposed.

Giovanni's vision and wisdom as a leader are undoubtedly top-notch, enabling him to lead Team Rocket from a small street gang in a remote town to a behemoth spanning both the underworld and legitimate society in the Kanto and Johto regions.

What's even more remarkable is that he knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he understands the importance of discretion.

"A-Ju is currently in a crucial period of taking over as the King of Heaven, and it is not advisable to have a direct conflict with the alliance at this time."

We acknowledge that what happened at the Evergreen Forest was unethical, and we are willing to accept the punishment. We are also willing to relinquish some of the benefits from forest development.

But the Rust Gang must die!

Also, we need to find out where they got the information that Eevee was in Viridian Forest.

Why is it that we, as the victors of thirty years ago, have been operating in Viridian City for so many years, yet we know nothing about the changes in the forest!

On the contrary, it's a group of insects that we crushed into the dust back then who are now able to discover the treasures of the forest before us?

At this moment, Lt. Surge, the Gym Leader of the Vermilion City Gym, spoke up in the live video feed.

"Is it because we don't pay enough attention to environmental and ecological research? I think it's time to sponsor some non-governmental ecologists."

I think that young professor from our city in the forest is quite good.

The Rockets' technology development has always leaned towards bioengineering and genetic engineering.

They excel at mass-producing Pokémon with high individual values ​​and high potential by genetically editing Pokémon eggs.

They have also mastered various artificial breeding and cloning techniques.

Mewtwo, a super legendary Pokémon artificially created using Mew's genes, is the culmination of their biological technology!

However, it is precisely because of their obsession with artificially created Pokémon that Team Rocket has paid little attention to wild Pokémon over the years.

As for ecology, there's hardly any research on it.

However, in recent years, the development of Team Rocket's artificial Pokémon technology has reached a bottleneck.

Despite the huge investment invested in creating Mewtwo, it could only remain imprisoned in a culture tank and could not play its intended role.

On the contrary, the issues of wildlife ecology that they didn't pay much attention to in the past are now becoming the focus of global attention.

It's unclear whether this is due to the influence of modern human activities, but in recent decades, the average quality of wild Pokémon worldwide has shown a clear upward trend.

In various regions, there are increasingly more sightings of wild Pokémon that are bosses, lords, or even regional overlords.

The value of ordinary wild Pokémon has also increased accordingly.

Many people predict that environmental ecology will become the next hot trend in this century.

Under these circumstances, the Rockets seem to be planning to make some transformation attempts.

"Ecologists... We lack talent in this area right now, so sponsoring some private individuals wouldn't be a bad idea."

Sakaki's words were the final word.

He then asked, "What is that person doing in the forest now? Has he figured out why Eevee appeared in Viridian Forest?"

Maslow was silent for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know."

"What?"

"According to the reply I got from the Tsuchiki Academy, this guy is usually quite...frugal. He didn't even have Rotom on his phone. Right now, he's deep in the forest, and the academy can't contact him."

"..."

For a moment, all the video feeds from the conference line fell silent.

Sakaki rubbed his forehead and said, "Then let's find a way to contact him as soon as possible."

Also, expedite the sponsorship process. Don't let outsiders know that this is the kind of treatment people who work for our Rockets receive; it'll make us a laughingstock in other leagues!

At this moment, Chen Mu, far away deep in the Evergreen Forest, was unaware that he had done nothing, yet another wave of immense wealth was about to descend upon him.

At this moment, he is in a primeval forest far away from the distractions of the internet and live streaming cameras, busy with his research and forest conservation efforts.

Because Jubei's handling of the Rust Gang involved many scenes that were inconvenient to disclose, their communication was cut off for two days later.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the Tsuchiki Academy in Kureha City was able to contact Chen Mu through a forest ranger's mobile phone.

"Thank God, Professor Chen, I've finally managed to get in touch with you! Please, next time you go out, buy a phone with a Rotom sensor!"

Spending a little money isn't expensive, just a few tens of thousands of yuan isn't shameful!

The department head who made the call was extremely excited, feeling as if he had been eagerly awaiting Chen Mu's arrival.

"Okay, Director, you're right. And you're too kind, just call me Xiao Chen."

Chen Mu quickly adopted the standard business attitude of a working person.

Unexpectedly, the director gave him a pleasant surprise this time.

"No, no, Professor Chen, you will definitely become a real professor in the second half of the year, I can guarantee that!"

If it were the original owner of this body, she would probably be jumping up and down with excitement right now!

My long-held obsession was achieved so easily.

However, Chen Mu was not so excited at the moment.

Because he keenly sensed the urgency and anxiety hidden in the director's emotions.

Then he couldn't help but ask: So what is the price?
