Life Drops? Life Mineral Water!

Chapter 52 Life Drops? Life Mineral Water!

"Waaah."

As the dragon carried Zhu Suihan to breakfast, the Pokémon in the lake greeted them all the way, making it feel like they were coming home.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Zhu Suihan was chewing on the refreshing tree fruit stick he had just made.

"This time it was just a bit of inexperience; it won't happen again next time."

Next time, I'll just sleep on a makeshift bed in the lab, and if I feel something's wrong, I'll just cover myself with a blanket and go to sleep!

"Waaah"

Lapras shook her head helplessly, because she had already heard from her trainer that he was incorrigible.

The course remained the same, except that the Pokémon in the lesson plans and videos were different, but it was very easy for Zhu Suihan.

Because of their completely different perspectives, as an outsider to the Pokémon world, any knowledge about Pokémon is interesting to him, rather than dry and boring.

In today's class on making energy cubes, Teacher Joey originally planned to have Zhu Suihan come on stage to explain the making tips before class.

However, after listening to his production process, the teacher decisively rejected the idea.

High emotional intelligence: an unconventional master's style.

Low emotional intelligence: The fact that you can make an energy cube is absurd in itself.

"Therefore, when treating Pokémon like Sharpedo, you need to be extra careful not to get hurt by their fine scales."

This is the last lesson of the day, and it covers how to protect yourself when healing dangerous Pokémon.

Using the Megalodon as an example, the characteristic of rough skin is actually related to human skin.

When a megalodon senses danger, it goes into a state of alert, and its fine, hard scales stand up.

It's basically about transforming yourself into the shape of a spiked meteor hammer.

One wrong move and not only humans, but even Pokémon could suffer.

In addition, considering Sharpedo's personality—like the boss of Arceus and the second-in-command—the teacher suggested that Nurse Joy, who wasn't very experienced, should have the trainer present while she was healing the Pokémon.

Besides the fine scales known as "rough skin," the Megalodon has another part of its body that can easily injure doctors.

As everyone knows, the one who chases you like a dog in the Galar is the Megalodon.

This heavy responsibility fell on the shoulders of the Light Cod back in the day, which made the trainers grit their teeth in hatred.

Light Cod possesses an extremely powerful regenerative ability, much like having an additional Lightweight trait.

The disgusting slender cod sheds its excess fat to speed up its hunt.

The encyclopedia entry seems to include something about tempering the spirit and enhancing mental abilities, which is rather bizarre.

But that seems to make sense. If you lose all your flesh after giving up once, you'll be in greater danger when you encounter stronger Pokémon, and you'll have to be even more careful when you're a fish.

Light cod are the true Tarkov players.

Excluding experienced players, a fully equipped player will be more alert to danger, while a player who only brings a knife will be more easily frightened.

Of course, there's also the possibility of someone who's barefoot not afraid of someone in shoes; sometimes, a knife-wielding guy might not be afraid of a fully armored guy.

So here's the question: how did the Megalodon manage to be as disgusting as the scavenger?

The answer is body structure.

The Megalodon is called the King of the Sea not because it has the status of a mythical beast, but because of its ferocious nature and extremely powerful short-range burst of speed, similar to a cheetah.

When hunting prey, they unleash a powerful jet of air from the vents behind them, giving you a direct demonstration of what a jet-powered start is all about.

If you need to touch the megalodon's tail during treatment, be careful, lest you get hit in the face by a jet of air like a hammer.

In a sense, it's no different from being hit by a fart.

Therefore, Nurse Joy explicitly told her students in class that it was permissible to use some minor tricks when treating ferocious Pokémon like Sharpedo.

For example, minor skills such as hypnosis and singing are allowed; otherwise, the treatment process would be difficult to carry out, and the doctor would be injured, which would be a huge loss.

Zhu Suihan didn't want to get a fart from Sharpedo in his face, so he decided to use a Sticky Ball to greet the Pokémon before treating it.

After finishing her classes for the day, Zhu Suihan stretched and quickly went to the cafeteria to have dinner after picking up Chenglong. Then she rushed to the research lab without stopping.

One day was enough for him to sort out all the procedures and ideas; the rest were just production-related issues.

Even if I have a tiny bit of luck, I'll probably have to fail several times before I can synthesize the materials.

Once the material's plasticity and the shelf life of its energy properties are determined, all that's left is to solve the charging and heat preservation device, and then it can be sold for money.

"Upfront technology usage fees, and later profit sharing... Oh ho ho ho, I've been looking forward to those high-age, super-nutritious tree fruits for a long time."

The Lapras in the ball shook its head helplessly, speechless at the trainer's sudden outburst.

It's fortunate there were no outsiders here, otherwise we would have lost face big time.

The synthesis of the materials went very smoothly. Zhu Suihan kept operating various levers and buttons in front of the big screen, directly shaping the produced materials into the shape of a bottle.

It's roughly similar to the milk bottle in Tom and Jerry, only shorter and more sturdy.

Several times, materials and energy were wasted, and the bottle would break every time it was shaped halfway. Zhu Suihan could only slowly work through adjusting the amount of materials used, gradually moving closer to the optimal ratio.

Then, a perfectly crafted bottle appeared on the workbench, with the surrounding high-density partitions removed.

The bottle showed no abnormalities, which means that under normal conditions, the bottle would not naturally break.

"It worked?"

Zhu Suihan glanced at the finished product briefly, then quickly tapped the buttons on the control panel to record the manufacturing process data.

If successful, this data can be imported into a brand new machine to directly realize the industrial production model of the assembly line.

Even if it doesn't work, you can still use the data to see where the problem lies in the manufacturing process, and then strive for improvement.

"Should we get a Togepi as our mascot in the future?"

When the two swords are combined, they are invincible!

Zhu Suihan thought about it and felt that it was still not quite right.

Unless it's like Jin Laowu, who starts being corrupted from the moment he's an egg, the Togepi that hatches from that environment is the kind of mascot that's rotten to the core.

This is a young, energetic version of Togepi, and it's a high-attack strategy. Are you scared yet?

Under normal circumstances, Togepi would probably not be too comfortable with his own way of doing things.

Forget it, my current success rate is already the envy of many, there's no need to do anything fancy.

Putting everything else aside, investors actually prefer people like Zhu Suihan, who have an extremely high success rate.

After all, with serious scientific research, it's hard to know exactly when the results will be available, or whether they will bring you the expected benefits.

When the cost reaches a very ambiguous level, it's not an option to withdraw or increase investment, creating a very awkward situation.

As for the power bank switchboard, Zhu Suihan thinks there's no rush.

Once the finished product is out there, you don't even need to worry about the rest.

He planned to test how long the bottle could preserve the life-giving droplets.

Ideally, the storage time should be one week, and then through the overall machine's aging and storage, this cycle can be extended to about half a month.

A week-long rotation is actually enough to keep things running smoothly.

After all, the situation that Joey and his friends face isn't that complicated; it's not like Arceus is going to punish them with a natural disaster every day.

Pokémon that use Water Drops for storage and Pokémon that assist in healing can be divided into two teams.

This means that some Pokémon members can be used to recharge empty bottles.

Or, to put it another way, if a natural disaster like Hoenn were to sweep across the entire League, let alone the life-giving mineral water accumulated from the Life Droplets.

Even a flood might not be of any use in saving lives.

Holding the bottle in his hand, Zhu Suihan casually conducted a few durability tests and even dropped it from the table to the ground.

"No cracks, that's good."

Formal testing is certainly more rigorous than this, but in the early stages of an experiment, there's no need to worry about so much.

Stepping out of the laboratory, Zhu Suihan released Chenglong and placed the bottle on a bench by the roadside.

"Riding the Dragon, aim inside this bottle and use the Life Drop."

Zhu Suihan added, "Use it as many times as you can, as long as it doesn't affect your physical condition."

"Waaah."

Chenglong nodded seriously, and after confirming the location of the bottle opening, he began to mobilize his attribute energy.

Accompanied by the singing and the fluctuations of blue energy emanating from the bottle, drop after drop of life-giving water poured in, gradually forming a small layer of liquid.

"That's all, thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Suihan fed Chenglong a few energy cubes, then picked up the bottle, shook it, and put the cap back on.

The bottle cap is made of the same material and has the same design. Although it cannot be stored as well as vacuum storage after being taken out, it will not easily leak.

"Now I just have to wait until I wake up tomorrow morning."

Zhu Suihan patted Chenglong's neck: "If we want to eat better than we do now in the future, we'll have to see how this stuff goes."

As for recruiting a second partner using the same nutritional standards, Zhu Suihan felt that he needed to earn more money to be truly secure.

"Waaah?"

Zhu Suihan resolutely refused: "No, if you secretly add life droplets halfway through, the research results will explode. We can't do that."

Lapras nodded, quite confident in the trainer's assessment.

The premise is that the other person is not having an episode.

"Let's go. Although it feels a bit wasteful to just leave the lab sitting there, there aren't any particularly interesting research plans at the moment."

Zhu Suihan certainly won't rely on a reusable medicine project for the rest of his life, but this is a good start.

Putting everything else aside, aside from the mind control device, he was also very interested in the villain's airships.

To achieve a warship-level goal, money, resources, and even connections are all indispensable.

What? The villains can use it, but I can't?

Then I'll become the villain! (Wrong)

Technology is just technology; you can't blame the invention of a weapon after it has hurt someone.
