Chapter 438 Another spring has arrived
In early spring, everything comes to life.
It obviously feels like we just spent the New Year together at Oak Research Institute not long ago, and in a blink of an eye it’s time to send new trainers on their journey.
However, this time Zhou Yu is not a new trainer who is about to embark on the journey, but a scientific research worker who has sent the special Gosanjia cultivated in the cooperation project to Dr. Somu in Wakaba Town on behalf of Dr. Ohki.
Ruoye Town, where the wind of the beginning blows, is also the location of the research institute of Dr. Somu, a student of Dr. Oki who discovered and proposed the egg group theory.
According to the agreed time, Zhou You knocked on the door of the research institute.
"Hello, Dr. Kongmu, I am Dr. Omu's assistant Zhou Yu."
As a well-known Ph.D., Kong Mu looks less than 30 years old. He graduated from Yuhong University only a few years ago, but he is one of the proposers of the most cutting-edge theories in academia.
"Qiao Qiao, you are finally here. I have heard the teacher mention you many times, and I have always paid close attention to your research." Kongmu was unexpectedly talkative, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a chatterbox. "The field of characteristics has obviously become a hot topic in the past two years." I only discovered it when I was young. I didn’t expect you, junior brother, to have gone so far and even developed props for artificial switching, awakening, and activating characteristics.”
After more than half a year of boring and often failed research, the theory on the characteristic capsule project is close to maturity.
In addition, after a three-month clinical trial found no adverse reactions, this year Gosanjia and newcomer trainers in the two pilot cities in Kanto also joined the project.
The Chrysanthemum Leaf, Fireball Rat, Crocodile and Pikachu brought by the tour all have "Lush", "Fire", "Riptide" and "Static", and additionally have a certain degree of "Leaf Defense" and "Fire Drawing". ", "Force" and "Lightning Rod" characteristics.
In the past, elves who mastered multiple characteristics at the same time were the result of many years of painstaking cultivation by top trainers. Nowadays, even beginner elves can master them to a certain extent...
Of course, this is only an exclusive benefit for project participants. When the characteristic capsule is truly perfected in the future, the alliance's expectation is to use it as a special prop that only high-level trainers are eligible to redeem and purchase, so as not to stifle the potential and creativity of the majority of trainers.
After all, this thing will greatly improve the trainer, so it is not appropriate to get it easily in the early stage.
"Excellent. The current characteristic capsules must be independently developed and produced for specific characteristics. The process is complex and expensive, and elves are just needed to assist in production. There is still a long way to go before a universal solution and assembly line production."
After all, Zhouyou had a lot of projects at hand, and a researcher like Torito couldn't even use them.
While chatting with his nominal senior brother, Zhou You walked into the research institute with his suitcase.
The two girls who were very familiar to him had been waiting for a long time.
One of them is Kris, a green-haired sports girl, and the other is Xiao Huang, a pony-tailed girl carrying a straw hat, fishing rod and sketchbook.
"Qiaoqiao, Eden?" Xiao Huang showed complete surprise as soon as they met.
Eden, who was on the traveling backpack, poked his head out: "Xiao Huang? Don't you live in the Evergreen Forest? If you want to register as a trainer, you should be in Kanto. How come you come to Chengdu?"
Generally speaking, trainers often choose their hometown as their initial region.
"I came to participate in the competition held by the Anglers Association in the Chengdu area this year, but there are many fishing spots at my age that I can't go to without the guidance of an adult..." Xiao Huang was a little hesitant when explaining, as if he felt that fishing was just for the sake of fishing. Becoming a trainer is a little unreasonable.
Uncle Hideyoshi had taken her with her when she participated in fishing club activities before, but her uncle had something to do this year and couldn't make it back. In order to successfully participate in the competition, she had to register as a trainer.
Trainers can go to uninhabited wilderness at will.
"Okay, pay attention to safety, and I hope you become the king of fishing this year." Zhou You smiled softly, feeling a little surprised to learn about Xiao Huang's personal hobby.
After that, he looked at Kris, the girl with the same name as the heroine of the crystal version. At least Zhou You could confirm that the world line here was indeed the crystal version.
※The heroine of Heart Soul is Kotone, who is not the same person as Chris.
I just don’t know if it’s a special episode, an animation, or a game…
"Hello Chris, have you chosen your favorite elves? Do you want to show them all?"
Chris nodded happily after hearing this: "Yes, please!"
Although she has already decided on her beginner elf, she also hopes to observe and understand the other three at close range.
So Zhou You opened the suitcase and released the elves who were eager to meet the trainer.
Chris immediately moved forward excitedly.
"Wow, is this the common Pikachu in the Kanto area? Its cheeks will indeed be... numb... with electricity."
"The chrysanthemum leaves smell so good and are so soft and cute. I feel calm inside after hugging them for a while."
"The fireball rat's fur is shorter and harder than expected. Is it pretending to be dead?"
Zhou You: I learned it from Leftover. By the way, this is a precursor to an attack.
"Oh, it's so hot! Thank you, little crocodile. Just spray some water on it. There's no need to hold me in your mouth."
Looking at Chris who started to play the game of biting the back of the hand with the little sawcrocodile, Zhou You silently sighed in his heart that the people in Ruoye Town were also very strong.
Chrissy retracted her hand so fast that it almost left an afterimage, and the little crocodile didn't even bite her once.
"Okay! I've decided!"
After playing with the crocodile for a while, Chris picked it up and said, "My first friend is the crocodile!"
The little crocodile suddenly danced with joy, and it could be seen that it also liked the trainer who played with it.
Fireball Mouse is still pretending to be dead, while Pikachu unknowingly plays with Xiao Huang. The latter, who was born in the Evergreen Forest, naturally has a good impression of Pikachu.
"Jike!?" The chrysanthemum leaf on the side showed a suspicious look on the radish plant.
Didn’t you hug me just now?
Doesn’t it mean that the heart is purified?
Why don't you choose me?
Being very competitive, it doesn't understand how it is inferior to the little sawcrocodile that bites people easily.
"Don't worry, Ju Caoye, there is still one trainer left. Maybe the next one will be the one you are destined for." Zhou You comforted you.
"Jike?"
Why is there only one left?
Jucaoye turned around in surprise and found that Xiaohuang had put a cute little red flower on the female Pikachu and they instantly became friends.
Probably sensing the dissatisfaction in Ju Caoye's heart, Xiao Huang also hugged it to calm it down.
Only then did Zhou You realize, why hasn't Ah Jin arrived yet?
"Oh, you mean Ah Jin." Kongmu looked like he had expected it. "I guess I haven't woken up yet from playing games all night."
When Ju Caoye heard that his trainer was a guy who played games all night long, he suddenly felt like he had lost all hope.
It wants to get up early to bask in the sun!
