Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

For the cheering audience, this afternoon marked the end of an experience.

But for Alice, whose hands were ice-cold—this was just the beginning.

63. The Man Called Doctor (4)

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I failed!"

Kelly returned to the doctor's office.

Compared to last time, he is now somewhat dejected, feeling that he has let the doctor down.

He hoped the doctor would severely blame himself, so that he could find some psychological comfort.

but...

"Kellys, where did you fail?"

The doctor, who had his back to him, was completely different from what he had imagined. He didn't get angry or blame him; he simply asked him questions.

"I...I messed up the task the professor gave me. I lost in the cheating competition...lost to that Rocco!"

As he said this, Kellis's features contorted and scrunched up, clearly indicating that admitting his incompetence in front of the Doctor was already a punishment for him.

"Um..."

The doctor's tone remained devoid of anger or blame.

“...Kelly, I’ve always hated mediocre people, so I hope you won’t become one.”

"If you think about it calmly, you'll realize that our goal has never been to win any major competition, but to promote Chaos Crystals so that we can proceed with our next plan."

“I watched the live stream of the cheating contest. Although your description of the Chaotic Crystal was a bit… amateurish, as long as the effect is good enough, then none of that matters.”

"If you go online, you'll find that because of your efforts, many people have become interested in Chaotic Crystals."

"Our plan was a success, and I have no reason to blame you."

Hearing the doctor say that, Kelly pursed her lips, feeling a warmth in her heart.

He felt that the doctor was making excuses for him, and he was so touched that he almost cried!

The doctor continued speaking.

"Alright, Kelly, I will personally introduce Chaos Crystal at the press conference next."

“But I hate dealing with mediocre people, so I’ll leave the business of Chaos Crystals to you.”

"I understand, Doctor."

Kelly agreed very seriously.

"Hmm... Kelly, I hope you can do well on this mission too. Go ahead and get busy."

Hearing the doctor say that he had completed the mission very well, Kelly felt his face burning, and at the same time, his eyes hardened, filled with a sense of conviction to die, and he once again agreed to the doctor's words.

"I understand, Doctor!"

He left those words behind and then slowly walked out of the office.

Once the door was closed and the footsteps faded away, the doctor's sigh echoed throughout the room.

He hates mediocre people!

But he had to admit that smart people are a minority; the vast majority of people in the world are just stupid, mediocre, lazy, and useless people wearing clumsy disguises!

Take Kelly, for example.

"I've had enough! What's the point of someone's existence if they change their mind so easily because of what others say, have no independent thoughts or opinions, and just follow the crowd?"

As he spoke, he reached out and scratched his neck vigorously, as if he were allergic to something.

"If someone says something is good, you'll think it's good; if someone says something is bad, you'll think it's bad."

"So stupid that they can't even judge what they think is good or bad—they're even worse than a child who can intuitively express their likes and dislikes!"

This isn't the first time the doctor has discovered this.

In fact, he probably already noticed it when he was very young.

He has never been a sociable person since childhood.

When adults told those heroic stories before, he couldn't understand why they called those fools heroes.

Later, when he played with other people, he couldn't understand why those guys had an easier way to win but didn't do it.

In his view, his peers, his teachers, and his elders were all just a bunch of guys who would get together and laugh like idiots.

Many of the things they did seemed completely illogical to the PhD student.

For example, there are no specific rules or hard requirements on the internet, so why should we abide by morality and rules and rigidly limit ourselves?

For example, there's the insistence on helping each other out, even though simply kicking out the least useful member of the team would allow for a greater leap forward, resulting in a much larger benefit with such a small sacrifice. Yet, no one agrees with this approach!

Go ahead and do things that won't bring you profit, things that no one will even know about, things only a fool would do...

If someone laughs like a fool, does things that only a fool would do, and says things that only a fool would say—isn't that foolish?

This is the doctor's idea.

He never understood what those guys were thinking when they knew that doing certain things would result in losses, but still did them anyway.

I don't understand what kind of wisdom it is to admire and follow such people instead of secretly mocking them after enjoying the benefits.

He felt the world shouldn't be like this.

The internet should be a chaotic place where everyone wears a veil, allowing them to freely indulge in everything they wouldn't dare expose in real life!

If you know that doing something will cause you to lose something and you won't gain anything, then no one should do it!

Even if you don't secretly laugh at someone who seems foolish, you shouldn't try to imitate them!

If you find someone useless in the team, regardless of their effort or difficulties, they should be kicked out and replaced with someone more capable!

A society filled with rationality and wisdom, where everyone can think critically and have their own opinions and thoughts when looking at problems—that's what the world should be like!

That is the most beautiful version of this world!

But the world is never a beautiful place...

Therefore, he never liked to associate with mediocre people.

He spends most of his time either in the lab or in the office.

'call--'

The doctor let out a long breath, placed one hand on the armrest of the chair, slowly stood up from the back of the chair, took a step forward, stopped in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, looked down at everything below, and felt the insignificance of the world and humanity.

"I was born into the wrong world, the wrong family, and this feeling of constraint is awful."

"But this matter should come to an end."

"If we look at it another way, perhaps my arrival wasn't a mistake. Perhaps... I was born to enslave these mediocre people!"

"Since they don't have independent thoughts, then my thoughts will guide them."

"Since those fools are willing to sacrifice and give, then let them all die and dedicate everything to me!"

"Perhaps even after the plan begins, there will still be people who disagree with my views and think I am wrong."

"But when those who oppose me are all naive fools, what mistakes can I possibly make?"

"Moreover, only the victors have the right to decide right and wrong. Do you think those ancient kingdoms, those Legion-style trainers who were originally supported by the kingdoms, would think the Alliance is right?"

"But the Alliance still rules the world now!"

"And I'm just replicating what the Alliance did in Baping City, at least shaping my city into the way I want it to be. Not to mention..."

At this point, the doctor stretched out his aged hand, pointing his five fingers toward the city of Baping below, as if he were playing with some exquisite collectible.

"...This city should have belonged to me."

At this point, the doctor uttered his old name, which he hadn't used for decades.

"Belongs to me...the prophet."

......

6.4. Alice will not remain indifferent.

A press conference about Chaotic Crystals is playing on the television screen.

The elderly man, who called himself a doctor and was indeed a doctor of minerals, sat in the center of the stage, a kind and friendly smile on his face, patiently explaining his work to the reporters and guests below the stage.

"Doctor, what is the difference between the Chaos Crystal you developed and the Z Crystal that appeared in the finals of the cheating competition?"

The question is a bit pointed.

But the doctor still smiled and gave his answer.

“As those who know me certainly know, Kelly is my junior. I had him participate in the cheating competition with the Chaos Crystal in order to promote the Chaos Crystal. So, of course, I watched every single match.”

"I was both surprised and happy to see a product like Z Crystal appear in the finals."

"I was surprised that no one had been able to draw out the energy from this special crystal for so many years, but as soon as it appeared, two different approaches emerged. What made me happy was that I never expected that there would be scholars like me who refused to give up on this topic that had been abandoned by the mainstream academic community. I'm really happy."

"As for the difference between Chaos Crystals and Z Crystals—as I mentioned before, the difference lies in the approach of guiding energy out of the crystal."

"My idea is to use some technology to allow the power of the spirits to slightly interfere with the originally balanced forces inside the crystal, so that the forces within collide and erupt under certain conditions, and finally the energy comes out on its own. Therefore, it is necessary to choose crystals with many internal attributes."

"If I'm not mistaken, the other person's approach involves using some kind of advanced technology to resonate with the power inside the crystal, thereby 'inviting' the energy out. That's the difference."

The doctor's explanation confirmed Rocco's earlier guess on the field.

But Luo Ke remained very interested in the doctor.

He felt that if he could give the other party some ideas and understanding of Z-Crystals, perhaps the world's first Z-Bracelet would be born in the other party's hands.

As for promoting the Z-band, nothing could be better than Eureka defeating that North American champion.

Hmm... the collaboration should go smoothly.

As Luo Ke watched the television on the bar and pondered these questions, the press conference continued amidst the hushed discussions that filled the coffee shop.

"So, Doctor, which option do you think is better, the Chaos Crystal or the Z Crystal?"

This is another rather pointed question.

However, considering that the journalists in this world will not showcase the charm of journalism online, and that similar issues are indeed of concern to everyone, it is reasonable.

As Rocco was thinking this, the doctor gave his answer once again.

"There's really no better way to say it, is there?"

"My Chaotic Crystal has a special method of activating power. Although it can only use crystals with multiple attribute energies inside, such crystals generally contain more power, so it naturally has a higher power limit."

"Z-Crystals are more stable in their guidance, so they can only guide crystals that generally have several times or even dozens of times less energy reserves. However, they are more flexible and can preserve the original attributes of the moves. They may even have the effect of enhancing non-offensive moves."

"But to be honest, I have more confidence in the Chaos Crystal."

"Everyone can also look forward to the possibility of turning a crystal containing all attributes and in a perfect state into a chaotic crystal. Its power might surprise you."

Hearing this, Luo Ke looked away from the screen and took a sip of his still-warm coffee.

He thought the PhD's understanding was quite normal.

Ultimately, he only got on the right path from the start because he had played the game and had some knowledge of Z-Moves.

For people who lack this knowledge, they might think that the crystals containing more energy are more powerful, which is simply common sense.

At the same time, Rocco also believed that as long as the Doctor saw the Z-Move once, his current understanding would definitely be shattered.

Eh.

Ultimately, it's because too few Z-crystals have been discovered!

If they had had a regular Z-type character during the previous competition, the other side might have already approached them to discuss cooperation, instead of holding a Chaos Crystal launch event on the other side of the screen.

jingle!

Just as Luo Ke was sighing like this, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and the bell at the door rang crisply.

The still-warm breeze from outside blew into the room, causing the various plants in the café to sway gently and sending a soft fragrance to every customer.
