Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 78 What will be gained from Pokémon cell culture?

When you're focused on something, anyone would be startled if someone suddenly spoke up behind you.

Turning around and seeing it was Sakaki, Natsuno patted his chest and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Hey boss, why were there no footsteps when you came in? How long have you been listening? Did you hear the whole thing?"

Sakaki didn't answer, but simply nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Natsuno didn't say anything more, and the research room fell silent, with only the low sound of the machines running.

Two minutes later, as if he had made a decision, Sakaki looked at Natsuno again.

"We'll work in both directions. You'll be responsible for splicing and reconstructing the genes, and the base's computers will continue to increase their computing power for your use."

"Actually, my people have been searching for traces of the dream, and that fossil is actually a backup plan."

"It's just that the search mission has been going on for quite some time without any results, so the backup plan has become the main plan."

"In fact, we haven't received any news from Dream for quite some time now; it's as if it has briefly disappeared."

Natsuno nodded repeatedly, not surprised by this.

If Giovanni dared to create Pokémon, it's not surprising that he wants to catch legendary or mythical Pokémon.

Natsuno rubbed his hands together, giving Sakaki a fawning look.

"In that case, boss, hurry up and let us extract the genes from that fossil. The sooner we extract them, the sooner we can repair it."

Sakaki shook his head again, refusing Natsuno's request.

"The conditions are not yet ripe; you should focus on improving your gene pool first."

"Natsuno, please send more sequencers to the underground base. I will have Masatori arrange the manpower for sequencing."

Natsuno rolled her eyes and looked at Sakaki with a deliberately teasing expression.

"This is so boring, boss. With you making excuses like this, I seriously doubt you actually have any fossils."

Unfortunately, Sakaki ignored Natsumi's words and turned to leave.

Feeling awkward, Natsuno waved to Fuji: "You watch over here, I'm going to Devon's place again."

Stepping outside, I looked around and saw Apollo and Sakaki talking in a corner.

Natsuno stood there for a while, and after they finished speaking, he waved vigorously at Apollo.

"Apollo, take me to Devon!"

The latter nodded and walked toward the garage, with Natsuno following behind.

After a long time, they arrived at the Devon headquarters again.

Apollo didn't say he went up with them this time either, only that he was waiting for Natsuno in the parking lot.

Natsuno looked up at the building in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Is it right to go to the Devon Building once a day?

Researchers aren't like that!

Turning her gaze back to what was in front of her, she realized that some people around her had already recognized her.

Natsuno rushed inside, tossing out a message at the reception desk as she passed, "I'm going to Daigo's office. Tell him to find me there!"

Amidst the admiring gazes of the receptionists, I boarded the private elevator and went straight to Daigo's office floor.

Fortunately, he had been here a few times already, and the staff knew about his relationship with Daigo.

Otherwise, Natsuno estimated that he would have been blocked in the lobby below and surrounded by people, unable to escape.

There were far fewer people on Daigo's floor, but everyone recognized him and greeted him with great respect.

Natsuno quickly slipped into Daigo's office, where no one was, and made himself some tea.

Two minutes later, Daigo came in with Anthony and Blaine.

Natsuno stood up, greeted everyone warmly, and poured tea for them.

Anthony's eyes were a little bloodshot, but he looked energetic and cheerful.

I had Daigo contact me yesterday, so it's not surprising that he's here now.

But Xia Ye was surprised by Xia Bo's speed and couldn't help but ask, "Researcher Xia Bo, your speed is truly amazing."

Blaine waved his hand: "Just call me Blaine. Crimson Lotus Island isn't far from here; it'll be a quick flight."

After exchanging pleasantries, Anthony looked at Natsuno and suddenly asked, "Natsuno, why don't you just publish your papers?"

"Huh? What thesis?"

Seeing Xia Ye's bewildered expression, Anthony shook his head: "Those papers I wrote for you, including those on gene structure."

"Since we already know who those people are, let's just intensify our efforts and there's no need to hide our results."

"The more results you achieve and the faster you progress, the more you can make those people jump up and down, until they finally expose their weaknesses and we take care of them."

Xia Ye then realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, "Ah, okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."

A smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Anyway, the paper isn't with me, so I can't stop you from publishing it."

Realizing that he had come for other reasons, Natsuno returned to the main topic.

"Dr. Anthony, converting genes into cells and then reproducing them shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Anthony got really excited when this was mentioned.

Even his eyebrows were twitching rapidly; this was a confident demeanor that Natsuno had never seen before.

"Of course, I've studied cells for so many years, and recently I've added gene research to my studies."

"Besides you, only I know what to do."

"Let's go straight to the research lab. There's a surprise I want you to witness firsthand."

Seeing Anthony stand up so impatiently, Natsuno's curiosity was piqued.

The group got up and went down to the floor below. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw many security personnel.

You need to swipe your ID card to enter the doors outside the laboratory.

Led by Daigo, Natsuno entered the building and cast a questioning look at him.

"This is the unified opinion of the group. This technology is too important, and we must pay attention to it in all aspects."

"Security has been increased in all aspects, and even the power switches have been reinforced with extra personnel to guard them."

Natsuno's jaw dropped: "Huh? What do you mean by turning off the power?"

Daigo's expression at this moment was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Well, lessons from the past should serve as a warning."

"We've tried this before; a competitor caused some data loss by cutting off the power, resulting in significant losses."

"Subsequently, the power switch will be listed as a key protection target, and additional measures will be taken, such as connecting it to an extra power source."

Xia Ye laughed immediately: 666, high-end business warfare, huh? That makes perfect sense.

There were many people working in the laboratory, but it was all very quiet.

All kinds of brand-new equipment were arranged neatly and in an orderly manner.

Natsuno was taken to the breeding area by Anthony, who had a mysterious smile on his face.

A device with a transparent glass panel, allowing direct observation of the culture dishes, came into Natsuno's view.

There are also two gene testing instruments connected to the side, and all the equipment is connected to the central control computer.

Scattered on the table next to it were some yellow fragments, which could be vaguely identified as originally belonging to the same spherical structure.

Natsuno stared at the incubation chamber in astonishment: "The equipment was ready so quickly? You're not kidding, are you?"

Anthony nodded: "After all, the principles were all understood, and a large group of engineers worked through the night to make it."

He then gestured to Natsuno in front of the control screen: "Come on, you take care of it, it's very simple."

Natsuno wiggled his fingers, somewhat suspiciously: "This is the surprise you were talking about?"

Anthony shook his head: "No, no, you'll know once you try it out and complete a gene breeding operation."

Natsuno nodded and began operating on the simple screen.

After selecting a sample from the gene bank and making several selections, I clicked the "Cultivate" button.

The machine started up, and Anthony pulled Natsuno to look at the machine's culture dishes.

Natsuno couldn't help but feel excited.

"By the way, what do you get from Pokémon cell culture?"
