Students of the Cultivation Series spend their freshman year studying theory and begin to engage with the production of Pokemon food and nutritional formulas as well as the foundational abilities of a Breeder in their sophomore year.
Creating basic nutritional formulas is the minimum graduation requirement for students of the Magic Major Breeding System, and talents in the breeding domain like Xia Xinyan have now mastered the specific production methods for most of the advanced nutritional formulas that are publicly available on the market.
Large corporations such as Dawn Group and Abundance Group come to recruit at Magic City University every year, and breeders like Xia Xinyan receive the highest salaries, directly becoming life's winners after graduation.
"My name is Fang Yuan, a freshman of the Research Series, and perhaps we could meet and talk about this."
Seeing no reply from the other side for a long time, Fang Yuan sent another message. He suddenly had another idea: if there were commonalities between the Energy Blocks' formula and the nutritional formulas, should he consider forming his own research team?
A normal Pokemon research team requires research talents in various fields, and a Breeder is essential as well.
Of course, if it is the kind of research team that often explores secret locations and conducts research there, the team also needs to include Professional Trainers.
Teams like School sister Xie Qingyi's include Trainers, Breeders, Researchers, Scholars of the Mysterious Domain, and many other careers.
Fang Yuan had become an Official Researcher. Although he was still studying, if he did not want to join another person's or an official research team, he could only work alone. The best way was to build his own research team.
If someone like sister Xia Xinyan truly had genuine knowledge and skills in the field of Tree Fruit Science, she might, at this stage, provide him with some basics and ratios of advanced nutritional formulas to aid his research in Energy Blocks.
His idea was simple: to slowly upgrade the knowledge in his memory into a super enterprise through a research team.
He was still young... He should have the fighting spirit!
"Fang Yuan?" Xia Xinyan evidently knew this name. After confirming that Fang Yuan was indeed the person she had in mind, she agreed she could meet with Fang Yuan.
...
In a coffee shop at Magic City University.
Fang Yuan met Xia Xinyan in person. She had long, straight black hair and a very quiet appearance. With a tall figure, she was simply dressed in a school uniform. Her fair face had a clear gaze, leaving Fang Yuan without any criticism. After university, he had rarely seen a beautiful girl wearing a school uniform.
"Sister, hello, I've long admired your reputation," Fang Yuan said with a refined smile.
"It seems your fame might be a bit greater than mine," Xia Xinyan blinked and looked at Fang Yuan.
If it were someone else, she might not have been willing to meet, but Fang Yuan's fame was significant in the Elf Department— the discoverer of the Solar Spirit. Even Breeders were very interested in Fang Yuan.
"You want the formula for the Lansa Beverage?" Xia Xinyan revealed a curious expression. "What do you want this for?"
Fang Yuan replied with a smile, "Research needs. I am a Researcher, and the current subject I am involved in requires this knowledge."
Xia Xinyan did not ask further. Asking more would delve into Fang Yuan's privacy, and if Fang Yuan was unwilling to talk about it, it would be awkward for an outsider to inquire.
"Actually, you could apply to the university. The procedures for those publicly available nutritional formulas are collected there, and although you're not a student of the Cultivation Series, if it's for research purposes, I think the university should provide a guiding professor," Xia Xinyan said after some thought.
Fang Yuan said, "I have considered that, but what I need most is a collaborator—"
He looked at Xia Xinyan, causing her to be momentarily stunned.
"Sister Xia, would you be interested in joining my research team?"
"Your... research team??" Xia Xinyan was taken aback, then somewhat amused. What kind of situation was this? The junior was quite direct, and she hadn't figured anything out yet.
Fang Yuan himself didn't have much experience and naturally spoke whatever came to his mind. He said, "I am currently researching Tree Fruit. Although it sounds more like a Breeder's job... the fact is, it is. I lack knowledge in this area and need a Breeder's help. School sister Xie Qingyi, you are proficient in Tree Fruit studies, and you haven't graduated yet. Have you considered your plans after graduation?"
Xia Xinyan shook her head and said, "I'm planning to continue my studies at the school."
"That's perfect, then. Perhaps we could have a deeper discussion," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
What Fang Yuan was interested in were the exclusive formulas of Breeders and major corporations. Naturally, he couldn't opt for illegal methods to obtain them, but it was entirely feasible to decrypt the formulas through scientific research analysis. Of course, decrypting complete formulas and production processes was definitely out of reach, not to mention for someone as proficient in Tree Fruit studies as the Professional Trainer Xi Xinyan, even if it were a more formidable professor from the Cultivation Series—it would be the same. However, decrypting the primary Tree Fruit ingredients in the nutritional products was still possible.
During their conversation, Xia Xinyan smiled, finding Fang Yuan rather interesting—a young Researcher with aspirations. Though she wasn't optimistic about Fang Yuan's research team.
However, Xia Xinyan did not express any refusal, because Fang Yuan's reputation was well known. She was very curious about what this talented junior wanted to do. As long as it didn't hinder her own studies, she was willing to give it a try with Fang Yuan.
In fact, Fang Yuan wasn't in a hurry. He didn't mention decrypting the unknown nutritional product formulas right away because they needed to understand each other better first.
For now, their collaboration was limited to Fang Yuan wanting to first understand the formula proportions of the nutritional products that Xia Xinyan had mastered.
...
Three days later.
The optimal ratio of Lansa Fruit, Brightly Berry, and Applewild Fruit was 15:8:7.
After continuous trial and error with the rotation speed and electric current intensity by Fang Yuan and Trio Magnet Monsters, they finally made progress.
And their achievement was the pure pink Energy Blocks before them.
The quality should be above the Light Blue Energy Block, and comparable to the Purple-Red Energy Cube.
"Lansa Beverages, these nutritional drinks, can regulate breath, make Pokemon healthy, keen-eyed and clear-eared, less prone to illness, and are also essential nutrients for learning and practicing Gathering Energy,"
So, what might be the effect of Energy Blocks made from the main ingredients used in Lansa Beverages?
In the game, energy blocks in red, blue, pink, green, and yellow colors respectively enhance attack, special attack, speed, special defense, and defense.
The fact of the matter was the same, Fang Yuan's Light Blue Energy Block could enhance a Pokemon's spiritual power, while the Purple-Red could increase strength.
So, aside from the special effects, would the pink Energy Blocks enhance speed?
Fang Yuan called over Chimchar, who took the pink Energy Block and sniffed it; the sweet scent was refreshing and invigorating.
"Ow." After receiving Fang Yuan's permission, Chimchar immediately picked up a block and stuffed it into its mouth.
A minute after chewing and swallowing, Chimchar's expression turned to shock, feeling a clearer perception of the energy within its body.
Hu~~
Chimchar let out a burp and tried to use the Qi Gathering Technique. The next moment, a stream of heat flowed through its body, and a white glow instantly enveloped it, leaving Fang Yuan slightly astonished...
"Evolution?"
