Building Blocks and Puzzle Surgery

Chapter 48 Building Blocks and Puzzle Surgery

It's normal that the pilot zone doesn't support takeout, since not being able to eat inside is a basic requirement.

Let alone ordinary students and tutors, even if Professor Oak were to do it, that bizarre operation of cooking instant noodles with an alcohol lamp would still easily backfire.

"But the dormitory area should be fine, right, Chenglong?"

"Waaah."

Bamboo, transformed into a salted fish, clung to the dragon's neck, too lazy to even move.

The first day of classes ended just like that. The intensity of the classes was quite manageable for Zhu Suihan, but compared to the amount of classes in the Pokémon World, it was already quite grueling.

The next day, Zhu Suihan and Chenglong continued to practice the lifting exercise together.

"You can play by yourself now. I'll come pick you up after class. Don't get into any trouble with anyone."

Zhu Suihan said earnestly, "Of course, if someone starts trouble, we'll bombard them with water cannons."

"If all else fails, use the Freeze Ray to build yourself a platform, or run to the island in the lake and give them a little shock with 100,000 volts."

He had checked it out; there were no monsters like Swampert or Giant Swampert in the lake that were immune to electricity. Lapras, which could use Thunderbolt, would definitely be a formidable weapon in the lake.

Oh right, and there's that Gyarados I've seen before. It can do everything, and its attack range is so wide that it's enviable.

As we all know, a fourfold weakness is usually a mark of strength.

Take, for example, the Hydreigon that once dominated the region. However, it fell silent after the Fairy type emerged. But we still can't ignore its noble dragon turret nature.

Real-world matchmaking isn't a perfectly even match; you can't expect to encounter strange team compositions that perfectly counter yours every time.

There was only one class this morning, or rather, the duration of that class already took up most of the morning's study time.

Teach students how to build with blocks, specifically 3D block puzzles.

I also need to do some sewing and mending.

This is Zhu Suihan's own feeling, but this class is actually somewhat related to surgery.

The course is titled "Repairing and Maintaining Insect Cocoons".

As is well known, Bug-type Pokémon generally undergo an evolutionary process similar to Metapod's Cocoon.

However, in some unexpected situations, the outer casing may be damaged.

While it may not be a fantastical scenario where "life essence is lost due to a broken cocoon," it is definitely not a good thing for the evolution and growth of Bug-type Pokémon.

The purpose of the cocoon is to lock in the internal nutrients and nurture new life forms, creating a "sterile development chamber" suitable for the species itself.

If there is damage, the problem is quite serious.

Therefore, Pokémon in cocoon form usually learn to harden on their own and use this move to train themselves every day.

Their purpose, of course, is not to harden up and become a brick for the trainer, then swing it at the enemy's head.

Hardening one's cocoon is used to increase its durability, ensuring that one can successfully pass through this stage and then evolve successfully.

If evolution occurs while the cocoon is damaged, then some problems that should not have occurred may arise later.

If this happened to the Pokémon of the main characters, they might be able to become stronger through bonds and casual remarks, but that would only be an exception.

The "becoming stronger after being abandoned" bond setting usually appears on the protagonist, and not every companion is like that.

I'm talking to you, Ash!

From the perspective of past lives, there will be such a character in every generation. Zhu Suihan's comment is that if the screenwriter runs out of ideas, he can bite a lighter to make everyone laugh.

As for Joey, from a doctor's perspective, healthy growth is more important than anything else.

Therefore, this "building block" version of surgery has become a subject that Joey and others need to learn.

If you bring fragments of the cocoon with you when you come for treatment, that's fine. After disinfection, you don't need to worry about rejection. If not, you'll have to use the artificial materials from Joey's place.

Moreover, this isn't a free treatment for minor injuries; it costs money, and even if the champion comes, it'll still be this price.

Each student has their own model of a cocoon on their seat, and not only are the broken parts different, but even the types are different.

Before Zhu Suihan was a metalloid, which evolved into a golden pupa like Beedrill.

Zhu Suihan peeked inside and saw that the structure was quite simple; it was just that weights had been added inside to make it feel like the standard weight of the Iron Shell Kun.

Aside from the data on mythical and mythical beasts, the data in the Pokédex is generally reliable.

Zhu Suihan didn't rush to take action. Instead, he first compared the damaged areas on the Iron Shell Kun's body, especially the broken edges.

When coloring, you can be quite bold in coloring the center, but you need to be more careful with the edges and corners.

Once you've identified the most challenging angles, the rest will be easier.

Zhu Suihan adjusted the metal rack on the desk and placed the model of the Iron Shell Kun on it, with the damaged part facing him.

Picking up a needle drill, Zhu Suihan began drilling holes in the iron-shelled Kun, recalling every detail of the demonstration video.

Drill holes around the damaged area as anchor points, cover with a layer of medical material as support, and then start assembling the puzzle.

Before the end, the final step is to thread the silk thread through the drilled hole, wrap it around to secure it, and seal the hole with a highly adhesive chemical.

Once the paste has completely dried, it is sterilized, and the jigsaw puzzle is then complete.

Once the cocoon is implanted into a nutrient-rich restorative area, it will automatically repair itself back to its original state.

However, the consequence of doing so is that the evolutionary cycle will be lengthened, since it will definitely take some time from repair to restarting the evolution process.

Of course, we also need to remind the trainers not to put color on medical areas for aesthetic reasons.

If the medical parts get stained with color, the difficulty of the puzzle surgery will definitely increase, and the doctors might also want to strangle that idiot trainer.

It's understandable that this lesson took a whole morning, since the instructional videos took a lot of time, and then it was the students' turn to do the actual practice.

After the models were distributed, another group of teachers, Joey, walked in from outside the classroom. Each teacher was responsible for a small area to ensure that students' problems could be corrected as quickly as possible.

Zhu Suihan rested his chin on his hand and leaned back slightly, suddenly understanding why some trainers wanted to color.

Seeing such a glaringly obvious "clothing patch" would probably drive someone with OCD crazy.

"Zhu Suihan, qualified."

Ms. Joey examined the wound carefully: "The material isn't wrapped evenly. If you can fix that, your grade will be excellent."

Uneven material thickness means that, based on the standard thickness, some areas are thicker while others are slightly thinner.

This may cause injured Pokémon to spend more time adapting to the material on their wounds, and the healing time will also be longer.

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Zhu Suihan was truly helpless; he wasn't a professional bricklayer in this area, and he preferred the idea of ​​"big force, flying bricks."

For example, you can use a Giant Ball to defeat the enemy trainer.

I still need to practice more; consider it training my strength control.

Teacher Joey smiled gently: "You can try some hobbies like needlework; it will be very helpful for your practice."

Zhu Suihan:?

Needlework.

What kind of protective cover should I make for the Northern Darkness Sphere?

"I will try my best, thank you for the suggestion."

Zhu Suihan's needlework skills remained at the level of mending from her previous life. Although it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that she's been mending for three years, it's enough to sustain her for a while longer.

Although this class didn't involve any major physical activities, that only applied to physical exertion; the mental strain was considerable.

This is just a very basic "level one repair surgery," and the cocoon only has one damaged spot.

Zhu Suihan couldn't even imagine what a more advanced suture surgery would look like.

Logically speaking, that level of damage has only a very small probability of occurring, but that's where the significance of the word "doctor" lies.

It is impossible to ignore medical research in this area by saying that "the probability is small" or "not many people will suffer from this disease".

Once you enter the Pokémon Center, you can seek treatment for your partner.

Joey's mission is to weld the doors shut, floor the accelerator, and unleash the full power to take your partner to health.

Zhu Suihan stood downstairs in the teaching building and rubbed his face.

"It feels like those elves with superpowers and those so-called supercomputers could all be used as assistants in delicate surgeries."

If you train Pokémon like Alakazam or Metagross to be able to fight, they can even do the sweating for you with their superpowers.

Zhu Suihan shook his head, feeling like he was hallucinating, even wanting to fill in an open trash can.

"If it's about repairing a cocoon, then using insect silk from other Pokémon doesn't seem to work. No wonder they're using artificial materials to solve this problem."

It's not that since everyone is a computer, it's impossible to perfectly replicate the same functions in a desktop computer by stuffing the components used in a laptop into it; it's just that it's highly unlikely.

It's unlikely that even insect silk from the same species is possible, as Pokémon aren't mass-produced industrial products.

"Afternoon, oh, afternoon isn't PE class."

There's actually a lot of manpower in the Pokémon world; with a little training, anyone can become a reliable gardener.

Therefore, students don't need to do anything like weeding or sweeping; the Pokémon will do it for them.

As everyone knows, what really gets Ash excited is battling.

The best way to provoke a Chinchilla is to sprinkle a handful of ash on it.

Then you'll be able to understand what a master of continuous attacks is.

Is it unreasonable for two characteristics to coexist?

It's alright. The emotional energy of anger has broken through the limitations of the species. At least before beating you to a pulp, Chinchilla will definitely do its best to deal damage.

"The afternoon class is warehouse management, the one about food and medicine?"

It seems that Kojiro and his friends went inside and ate like crazy many times, much like mice falling into a rice jar.

"What the heck is this second quarter?"

Zhu Suihan suddenly felt like she had traveled back in time again.

The last class in the afternoon is called "Employment and Entrepreneurship Guidance" (abbreviated).
