Chapter 66 Work is here!
"Huh?"
What research ideas do you have that could make you a lot of money?
The dragon became excited: "Woo-woo!"
How about we go and earn more high-age tree fruits!
"That makes sense, but we still need to do some experiments. Let me finish my class first."
Zhu Suihan briefly cleared out his "skill inventory," which was a type of passive ability that his body possessed.
First, they can eat a lot and fight well.
Secondly, it allows for a clear understanding of what Pokémon dreams are trying to convey, although it may not be as profound as the spiritual connection experienced with N.
Third, he was proficient in ancient scripts.
"As we all know, everyone in special effects blockbusters speaks the same language."
Bamboo Suihan sat on the back of the dragon, while Little Fairy stood proudly on top of the dragon's head, greeting the surrounding Water-type Pokémon.
"I'll try to see if I can translate ancient texts. If I can really understand those ancient texts, getting a harvesting permit from the dean won't be a problem."
Zhu Suihan said, "By the way, about the dragon, Little Fairy Milk has evolved forms, but did you know that Little Fairy Milk has a total of 128 evolved forms?"
Riding a dragon: ?
You're not lying to me?!
"It's true, but that takes into account all Shiny and Gigantamax forms. To be precise, there are 128 different forms."
In the world of Pokémon, there have always been some rather strange, yet relatively easy-to-understand, classifications of Pokémon.
For example, Gyarados has a "stronger certification" such as being four times weaker to electric.
Chansey and Amanita's "Battle Brings Smiles" group.
There's also Rowlet, one of the Alola starter Pokémon, known as Minami Kotori, and her group of Pokémon that fall into the "Don't Evolve" category.
The Primarina, Gardevoir, and Lopunny are examples of animals that fit the "your wife might be a man" category.
The "I'm a Dragon, Are You Angry?" group, featuring Pokémon like Flygon and Alolan Exeggutor.
Of course, there are many more combinations, which are not only categories but also memes, reflecting the trainers' love for Pokémon.
It's like giving Green a nickname like "The Fastest Legend in Pallet Town." If you weren't close to someone, who would bother to give an NPC a nickname?
The Alcremie is a bit outrageous; it's a category in itself.
The inspiration for this Pokémon seems to come from whipped cream and a dessert called Eatonmax. Its Gigantamax form is a decorated cake, or even a deluxe version.
However, Zhu Suihan felt it was more like ice cream. For example, the future evolution of her own Little Fairy Milk would be like fresh milk ice cream with chocolate sauce and tree fruit.
Kachi's Family Ranch Ice Cream is an upgraded version of Kachi's Family Ranch Ice Cream.
"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I first heard about this data."
In reality, Zhu Suihan would only say such things to Chenglong Shuangnaixian and the others.
High emotional intelligence: Researchers approached the task with a responsible attitude, diligently studying the unknown knowledge about Pokémon.
Low emotional intelligence: Dude, do you have nothing better to do?
This conversation left Lapras lost in drooling contemplation, thinking, "With so many forms, there must be so many flavors," while Little Fairy Milk didn't listen at all.
As a Pokémon that has been incubating for less than two and a half days, it's way too early to think about evolving.
"Waaah?"
Upon reaching the shore, Chenglong was greatly shocked to see the little fairy who had jumped off his head and was now nestled on Zhu Suihan's head.
I just told you that classes are incredibly boring, and you still want to go?
"Milu!"
If the boss can't do it, let me do it for her!
Little Fairy Milk's eyes were firm as she sat on Bamboo Frost's white fur and waved to Dragon Chaser.
Boss, wait for me!
I will bring you knowledge and victory!
Chenglong's expression instantly became subtle.
"Waaah."
Commendable courage! No wonder she's Longlong's little sister!
Keep it up, little girl who can knead cream by hand!
"Milu!"
After a morning—
"Milu."
The little fairy milk paste, which had turned into a puddle of droopy milk, was actually hard to spot on Zhu Suihan's head, and it matched her hair color quite well.
Chenglong on the shore looked as if he had expected this.
Sure enough, Little Fairy Grandma was only semi-literate, just like her; she had the same reaction after the lesson.
"All morning, but then again, I almost couldn't keep up with the classes this morning."
This morning I had four history classes, two of which were about the Warcraft Wars during the Dark Ages. Basically, it was a bunch of dark stuff, even more exaggerated than the special episode.
The next two sections discuss battlefield medicine, or rather, first aid knowledge derived from history lessons, which is often used in the field.
In the wild, large medical equipment becomes useless; at most, you can rely on a portable first-aid kit and the Pokémon's own healing abilities.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find naturally growing tree fruits to use as an adjunct to treatment, and it has to be the kind of variety that's effective for the treatment.
It was only in the last two classes that Zhu Suihan finally perked up and listened; the first two history classes were truly torturous.
It's mainly useless.
"Milu".
Little Fairy Milk sensed the outside world, and after rousing herself, she transformed back into a ball of cream, gently tugging at Zhu Suihan's white fur.
"Are you hungry? Here's an energy cube to tide you over. Let's head to the cafeteria now."
On the way, Zhu Suihan dialed Qiao Yijing's number.
"Hey, Dean, I want to make money."
Qiao Yijing: "You better not tell me you've already finished your tree fruit quota."
"No, I just thought of a new task. Does Joey College have any historical documents or anything like that you'd like me to translate for you?"
Qiao Yijing: "Yes, we do have some, but not much. Are you sure you can handle this?"
Zhu Suihan held her phone between her shoulder and shoulder while feeding Xiaoxian.
"You can try it. Just ask the teacher in charge of these things to take a picture for me."
Qiao Yijing tapped the corner of the table. She had been quite busy these past two days and had been waiting for takeout to eat lunch in the office.
"Okay, I'll have the teacher over there take the picture for you. After we translate it and confirm its authenticity, I'll give you a quota of twenty ten-year-old tree fruits."
"Don't worry, kid. They've already started collecting and harvesting in other places. It'll be delivered to the academy in a week at most."
Zhu Suihan's eyes lit up: "How many were there exactly?"
"The total number will be tallied, and the price will be allocated based on the results of the negotiations."
Half an hour later, Qiao Yijing sent the ancient documents from within the academy to Zhu Suihan.
As a Pokémon medical school, to be honest, Nurse Joy didn't even know when those historical documents were collected.
It's unlikely that Joy College wanted to develop an archaeology department at the time; more likely, it was a private collection of a former dean, which ultimately remained within the college as part of its cultural heritage.
The materials used to record the documents are quite varied, including stone slabs, oiled wooden boards, and silk fabrics made from insect silk, and they are all relatively well preserved.
The most shocking picture is the last one, which is a stone that is barely spherical in shape and covered with text.
It's obvious at a glance that it's part of the Onix's body.
"The Dark Ages lived up to their name."
It is suggested that Arceus go back in time and fire a few more Shattered Light Stones.
With a little fairy on her head and a dragon-riding guard beside her, Zhu Suihan slowly walked back to her dormitory along the lake, intending to translate these documents on the way.
He could understand all the text, and his guess about some kind of bodily passivity was correct.
Furthermore, these languages are all from the same lineage, with the biggest difference being in writing habits, which at most slightly increases the difficulty of translation.
Archaeology is like opening a loot box randomly, and the drop rate is unacceptably low.
The items you get from opening chests are the common color grades; the higher the grade, the more valuable they are, and the same applies to archaeology.
The artifacts found in the key rooms of those large-scale archaeological sites can only be considered the absolute minimum in the "unboxing game" of archaeology.
That may be a crucial historical record, but it only represents a small part of history.
Overall, you never really know what the artifacts you find actually record.
Perhaps it was a secret record, or perhaps it was something an ancient person casually noted down, like "I ate an extra bowl of rice today," or something they made after winning a bet with a friend and then carved their name on a stone as a memento.
People today consider that history, but people in that era were probably just recording the little things in life.
After filtering through several useless images, Zhu Suihan finally found something she wanted to see.
A recipe for a "Stat Enhancement Potion" is roughly equivalent to something that increases effort points and experience points.
"What a complicated potion recipe. If you simplify it, isn't it just an energy cube?"
Zhu Suihan seemed to be deep in thought. In that era, there was constant fighting, and the production capacity was definitely not as good as in the Alliance era, let alone research.
No matter what kind of research it is, you need to be well-fed before you have the time to do it, which is a classic example of the hierarchy of needs theory.
In other words, it means that when people are well-fed and clothed, they think about other things. And "other things" doesn't just refer to sexual desires, but rather to a general sense of desire.
This so-called medicine formula was probably reserved for the nobility, and due to the cost of experimentation, materials that seem too cumbersome from a modern perspective were included.
If we continue the research, the subsequent costs will definitely be much higher than the cost of producing the existing drug.
"Disappointing, another piece of trash."
The only useful information inside is the record on the body part of the giant rock snake, which is also useful to archaeologists. It is probably part of a general's memoir praising himself.
The only amusing thing is probably something like a county or village chronicle, which records how some fool wanted to dig a cellar and asked a monster messenger for help.
As a result, the house's foundation was a bit unstable. After using a ground-based skill, the cellar space was created, but a small section of the house collapsed.
In those war-torn years, this was probably a rare source of amusement.
After sending these documents to the dean, Zhu Suihan suddenly lost interest in archaeology.
He had always known that his inscription was similar to those in the Notice Stone Chamber, and had even wondered if he could find some other sources.
Now it seems better to hope that those scholars from Zhulan, who seem to have a destiny of their own, can come up with something useful.
"Or maybe we should time it and try to crash the plot?"
Let's make good use of Scrooge's identity and see if we can get anything useful from some relics and mythical beasts.
The phone rang, and Zhu Suihan glanced at it before frowning, somewhat puzzled.
"Dean, I remember I should have finished translating by now."
"It has nothing to do with that. Things just happened to come together, so I'm informing you directly."
Joey rubbed her temples: "Get ready, we'll board the transport plane at the platform behind the government building later. You'll have your first real-world experience."
"It's an action, not an activity. You know what that means."
Zhu Suihan:?
"Me, a first-year student?"
Qiao Yijing picked up her tea and took a sip: "The first year selects the top thirty outstanding students, forming the standard number of students in one class. The second year has two classes, and so on."
"The destination is the Lake of Rage. Your old man and that guy from Rocket Group have pulled off something big."
What happened recently? Why did Horizon only release one episode?
Goodnight, fellow book lovers!
