Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off.

As soon as I came in, I heard Natsuno urging me to get the machine. It's so annoying!

Daigo is starting to regret coming to the lab.

At that moment, Fu Yan and Xiao Fen were being shown the experiment by Xiao Cai.

Upon seeing Daigo, he quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "President Daigo, it's been a long time!"

Daigo smiled and said, "Ah, President Fuhiko, long time no see. What are you doing here?"

Natsuno turned around and saw Daigo: "Ah, I brought him in. I was in a hurry to get to the lab."

Daigo's gaze darted back and forth between the two: "You two know each other?"

Natsuno walked over and put his hand on Tomiyako's shoulder: "We were college roommates and good friends, very close."

"By the way, Daigo, that individual gene editing device... um?"

Chapter 173 Bonds Remain With You

Daigo was annoyed when Natsuno pressed him for the machine again, but he could only smile... Ah, he still couldn't manage a smile.

Daigo's expression turned helpless: "The engineers are already working overtime, let's wait a little longer."

Seeing this, Natsuno could only shrug: "So what are you going to do in the lab?"

Daigo looked at the two professors behind Natsuno: "The two professors called me down, I don't know either."

At this moment, Oki waved to Natsuno and Daigo: "Come here, both of you. Now that it has been proven to be feasible, let's make it public."

"Natsuno, why don't you make a video to respond to the public? Everyone's tagging you to supplement your research on genetic techniques."

"Daigo, your filming skills are getting better and better. You can take charge of filming. Anyway, all the equipment needed will be provided by your group."

"And that young man, Xia Ye's roommate, come and help out too, don't just sit around."

So everyone sprang into action, and an hour later, Natsuno uploaded new content to his Pokémon audio video.

The account you follow, @ResearcherJustWantsToSlackOff, has posted a new video. Click to view.

It was close to 3 p.m., and people should have been at work, so there shouldn't have been many people watching.

Moreover, the title itself is rather dry: "Genetic Move Supplement Project"

It's the kind of story that makes you feel like you're traveling through time, with your consciousness randomly arriving at a moment from half an hour to two hours later.

Unfortunately, a researcher's account popularized the behavior of "slacking off".

As a result, the number of likes surged as soon as the video was released.

[My youth is back! The researcher who used to slack off is finally back!]

The video content has started playing.

"Dear netizens, the missing person has returned! Enough chit-chat, let's get straight to the point!"

"I couldn't sleep last night, and everyone was tagging my account in the comments section of Monkey King's video."

"The netizens are right, Monkey King truly has the demeanor of a grandmaster, even inspiring admiration in me, a researcher with mediocre skills."

Today, we'll team up with Professor Oak and Professor Anthony to give everyone a response.

In the video, the three men gave a lengthy introduction to the second-generation machine and praised the engineers at Devon Group.

Then, the gene editing function was introduced in detail, as well as their process of gene editing in the tactic region.

Finally, Natsuno gave a summary.

"The Evolutionary Move Supplement Program is feasible! We've already achieved success with Pokémon Eggs."

"The next step is to wait for the individual gene-editing device to be developed. Let's all urge them to get it!"

"Daigo, new machine! Devon Corporation, new machine!"

Natsuno was quite satisfied with the video, ending with the machine being activated.

I just don't know if Daigo can handle it.

After watching the video, netizens rushed to Devon Group's official account to urge them to release the machines.

At this moment, Daigo shook his head, his gaze towards Natsuno unreadable.

"Natsuno, you've created another new influence in this area. You're a truly miraculous man."

"First, it made obtaining Pokémon easier; now a Pokémon egg isn't even as expensive as a Poké Ball."

"Recently, we've been deploying polyploid berries to make it easier to obtain Pokémon breeding resources."

"Now they're focusing on the move pool, is the next step going to be abilities?"

Natsuno scratched his head: "Huh? Did I make that much of an impact?"

At this moment, the system in Natsuno's mind stirred again, but this time the disturbance was much greater.

[Mega-scale quest chain activated: Bonds remain with you]

Various factors limit people from becoming Trainers and restrict the creation of more new bonds.

Before becoming a trainer, it's difficult to acquire Pokémon and obtain enough resources to raise them.

Becoming a Trainer restricts one's move pool, abilities, and held items, which in turn limits one's tactics.

Some trainers are forced to choose Pokémon that are better suited for battle, making it difficult for many Pokémon to reach a wider audience.

Although battling is only one part of Pokémon, we should always give more opportunities to Pokémon that crave battle, shouldn't we?

[Branch information updated...]

[Mega Branch 1: The prerequisite for Bond Point is that the difficulty of obtaining Pokémon Eggs has been reduced to within the minimum requirements due to the widespread availability of Genetic Breeding Pods. This branch is now complete.]

[Influenced by the contractors, more people will embark on the path of becoming trainers in the future]

[Mega Branch 2: The Foundation of Bonds, Polyploid Berries are Spreading Across the World. This branch will be completed when the price of Power Cubes equals that of Candy Beans.]

[Mega Branch 3: Bond Growth, Three Major Sections: Moves, Abilities, and Held Items.]

[3-1 moves, the genetic moves completion plan is 50% complete, some sub-tasks are in progress, other items are pending]

[3-2 Features: None available yet, to be added to the project list]

[3-3 Carrier, Gene Inhibitor Replaces the Everstone, Other Items to be Added]

[Other related tasks or task chains will be collapsed and added to this large task chain upon completion.]

[Progressing at any stage will reward you with Influence Points]

Because the system's activity was so significant, Xia Ye felt his head was throbbing and had to close his eyes to rest and process the information.

I have unknowingly had a significant impact on the world.

Since things are already like this, let the world enter an era of great battles!

Natsuno snapped out of his daze and responded to Daigo's words.

"The world is indeed different because of genes, and such changes will only increase. Let's wait and see."

Natsuno couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart at that moment, but he felt quite good.

With my heart pounding with excitement, I banished the thought of slacking off and focused solely on working hard.

After filming the video, Daigo took Tomohiko back to his office, while Natsuno remained in the lab.

"Doctors, has the genetic exploration of Pokémon before and after evolution begun?"

Just as Natsuno was asking the question, a security guard suddenly rushed in: "Doctor, it has evolved!"

The two doctors' eyes lit up, and they gestured for Natsuno to follow.

In the ecology room next to the laboratory, a tree was radiating light, dazzlingly bright.

It is the light of evolution!

After the light faded, a green armored pupa was found hanging on a branch.

The little guy opened his eyes and looked at the three people watching, without moving.

"Wow, no wonder it's the Pokémon with the fastest evolution speed. It can grow from newly hatched to the second stage in just one day."

"After all, with plenty of energy, it should only take one to two days to evolve into Butterfree."

While the two professors chatted, Oki had already found some tools and taken some materials from the Metapod.

Xia Ye also learned about the situation through the conversation between the two big shots.

Bug Pokémon do indeed grow quickly, which is why Bug Catcher is so fond of them.

The group returned to the lab and began gene sequencing.

Sequencing was completed half a minute later.

Daiki then compared the gene sequences of the green caterpillar morphology recorded in the database yesterday.

"Gene sequence alignment complete. Please check the detailed results yourself."

Chapter 174 Humans, Cease Your Research!

"The gene sequences before and after evolution are completely identical, there's no doubt about that. Let's look at the details."

"Device 1, adjust the comparison results to the feature partition and provide a detailed report!"

As Professor Oak gave his voice command, the content displayed on the screen automatically changed.

The screen split in two, displaying two gene sequences on the left and right.

Pokémon like Caterpie, which evolve from a caterpillar to a butterfly, will have their abilities changed after evolving.

The three of them were quietly reviewing the sequence analysis report of the characteristic partitions.

"About 10,000 base pairs of the original activated sequence were activated before and after it?"

"Does the newly activated sequence, once fully integrated, become the characteristic gene for molting?"

Da Mu quickly labeled the corresponding gene segment as 'molting'.

"At the same time, compared to the caterpillar gene on the left, the armored pupa gene on the right activated more gene segments."
