Chapter 90: You deserve one-third of the credit.
Wait, is this scary?
Zhu Suihan was stunned for a moment: "Big guy, what did I just say?"
"Gala?"
Gyarados looked at Zhu Suihan with a puzzled expression. "You just said that our race is terrifying, and that's true."
If wild Gyarados that haven't mastered their anger gather together, they can easily cause massive destruction, no matter what they do.
Let alone ordinary Pokémon, if you happen to encounter a Pokémon parade on Dragon Island, a group of Gyarados will still rush up to fight.
Moreover, this wasn't just an impulsive act; they genuinely wanted to fight!
"I remember you guys are terrifying. It was in the last sentence. I think I said something very crucial."
Given Gyarados's personality, even if it has just eaten its fill, it would probably lick any passing Slowpoke before letting it go.
Or, to put it another way, they might just bite off the tail and store it as food to eat whenever they get hungry.
Slowpoke's tail.
Tail meat, meat? !
This is it!
Zhu Suihan laughed heartily: "Yes, it's meat, it's meat! My thinking was correct!"
In the short film, when I saw the Magikarp twisting and turning in the rushing water below the waterfall, I simply assumed it was Magikarp's innate invulnerability and didn't think much of it.
But now that he had a clearer understanding, Zhu Suihan understood.
To hell with Iron Shirt! Even if Magikarp is highly talented, it still requires training to acquire.
The key lies in that "twist".
If you don't have a lot of muscle, it's very difficult to do that kind of movement.
Just like throwing a punch, anyone who has practiced a little knows that when you throw a punch, you should use the power of your waist, which can make your efforts more effective.
Throwing a punch or kicking requires coordination of the body, with muscles, bones, and tendons working in unison to deliver a perfect blow.
To give a simple example, this is an arcade fighting game. Newbies just know how to hit the target one hit at a time, but experienced players know how to precisely execute combos that maximize damage.
If the body has muscles and bones, then it's like a series of basic attacks.
Muscles are the key to achieving combos!
Zhu Suihan wanted to let out a long roar to express his excitement, but seeing Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai's increasingly worried eyes, he suppressed the urge.
Sure enough, I was a genius!
As for my cheat?
Well, once I win the championship, once I figure out this project, you'll get a third of the credit.
"Big guy, go and call over the Magikarp I fed that day."
Zhu Suihan said excitedly, "Also, I need to record your physical data again; it will be good for you."
"Gala?"
Do you want to pay more?
Zhu Suihan nodded decisively: "I'll pay more and make you another batch of these energy cubes."
Gyarados roared, and with a reward comes motivation. Before long, Gyarados brought Magikarp over.
Hmm, I can't see any difference.
Most people find it difficult to distinguish between the two great clans, Joey and Officer Jenny, except for monsters like Little Gang.
However, after a while, those subtle differences become apparent.
Just like a citizen of a country looking at foreigners, if you don't often travel abroad, and excluding those international superstars, you'll probably think that all foreigners look the same.
Of course, some stereotypes from different cultures also play a role.
Bamboo, once touched, immediately reveals its properties.
Magikarp, a fish-shaped Pokémon, has the ability to be skin and bones and is good at surviving.
That's right, describing Magikarp as skin and bones is a normal way of putting it, not a negative adjective.
"Kuo Li?"
It's you, the rich tycoon!
"Hmm, he seems to have some intelligence, but he doesn't interact with the outside world much, so he looks a bit dull."
As I said before, Magikarp is too lazy to even glance at anyone, and Gyarados is too dangerous to even look at, but everyone wants to see it.
"Good boy, I'll record your body data and give you two energy cubes as a reward."
If you modify the recipe of the energy cubes that Lapras eats, the resulting version will be very appealing to Water-type Pokémon.
"Korean!"
Mission accomplished!
With a piece of deposit still in its mouth, Magikarp decisively lay down on the surface of the water, letting Zhu Suihan grope its body.
Record the actual data, compare it with the standard data in the paper, and then make reasonable adjustments.
It doesn't need to be custom-made, but it should still fit the general physical condition of a modern Magikarp.
Zhu Suihan saved the data: "Personalized customization is not out of the question, but it will cost extra."
Gyarados wagged its tail at Magikarp, signaling that the kid could leave.
"Tsk, your physical stats... Oh well, it's what Yulong wants anyway. They won't be short of powerful Gyarados over there."
Zhu Suihan had originally thought of a regional champion-level Gyarados, whose physical data was not universally applicable. However, after considering the situation at the Dragon's Lair in Yanmo City, he realized that this was the one that best reflected universality.
"Gala?"
I'm pretty strong, right? But that darn Electabuzz is even stronger than me. Once I defeat him, I can challenge something even stronger.
Zhu Suihan attached the energy detector to the back of the Gyarados.
"Speaking of which, besides the Electabuzz, are there any other fierce men or women in the back mountains? You sound quite wary of them."
"Gala."
Electabuzz's strength is only mid-to-high level; there are stronger ones above him, some of whom are human companions who live out their retirement in the back mountains, and some of whom are native inhabitants.
"Indigenous people, tell us a couple of examples?"
"Gala."
There was a very strong Tyranitar that I challenged once, but I was slapped down in one blow.
Gyarados looked annoyed: "Gala, Gala."
There was also a very powerful fire monster that could withstand my water cannon, charging towards me despite the impact and damage to wrestle with me.
Zhu Suihan:?
A tug-of-war?
Okay, okay, there's such a way to play, huh?
Typhlosion, or rather the starter Pokémon of the second generation, is basically an unwanted and unloved Pokémon, not even as prestigious as Tyranitar.
The only one that actually helped was the Emerald Fire Beast, which transformed from a young, energetic lad into a somewhat effeminate and charmingly sinister man.
Among the purple and crimson beasts, the Firestorm Beast's appearance is particularly poor, with the flames on its shoulders looking like they've been embedded in a texture.
In reality, that flame on the shoulder could have looked really cool.
Whether it's the fiery cloak like A-du's attire, or the way flames envelop her entire body during battle, the special effects are always top-notch.

"Thanks, I'll bring the energy cube to you tomorrow. If I have time then, how about I come and be your audience?"
Gyarados's silence—whether to spectate or not—is indeed a question worth pondering.
If we win, we can naturally show off in front of others and put on a good show in front of Zhu Suihan.
If he loses, he might drag himself back into the lake by his own tail.
"Gala."
Sure, you must come if you have time!
With the help of the Power Cube, I'll boost my strength in the next couple of days and give Electabuzz a good surprise!
After collecting the data, Zhu Suihan took Chenglong and Xiaoxiannai back to the dormitory. The two little ones had a serious voice communication session in the team, which was basically just eye contact.
You can sing, right? Why don't you just give the trainer a chance to sing?
That's what I was planning too, but have you forgotten that trainers are immune to moves?
Little Fairy Milk: ?
It seems that's really the case. In other words, if a trainer insists on staying up all night, there's nothing they can do about it.
Chenglong nodded silently; it seemed that was indeed the case.
"What are you two thinking?"
Zhu Suihan turned around: "Don't worry, I won't stay up all night. I have a week to study these things."
"Huh?"
"Milu?"
Trainers really can read minds!
"I can't read minds, but I know you care about me."
Zhu Suihan said, "Thanks to the development of modern technology, many of the things I need are readily available, which has been of great help to my subsequent research."
Putting aside everything else, you can buy any nutritional supplements that need to be added to your diet as long as you're willing to spend the money.
There's even less to worry about regarding research costs.
"The Imperial Dragon Society will foot the bill. If they want to monopolize the profits, then it will be a different price."
The next day, Zhu Suihan arrived at the academy's research institute and began the first phase of the experiment.
Now that we understand the problem, all we need to do is develop a targeted drug prescription.
Fortunately, this isn't some intractable disease, but simply a matter of nutritional supplementation; otherwise, we would have been stuck at this step for a very long time.
Enlarge the diagram of Magikarp's body structure in the paper, and Zhu Suihan marked some key points on the screen based on her memory.
Strictly speaking, Magikarp can grow bigger, but stimulating it to grow bigger requires more careful planning.
Nutritional supplements are taken orally, and medications are applied externally. In some cases, the Magikarp's body may even need to be massaged to ensure that its overly rigid bones do not hinder muscle growth and development.
For long-time smokers, not smoking for even a short time can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Magikarp is similar. Even if a positive change in its physical form is a big deal, it's hard to guarantee that Magikarp won't resist it and will want to maintain its current state without making any changes.
"Internal use, external application, massage, and the last one can be achieved in a soothing and peaceful environment, which can be artificially created."
It's similar to those ranches that play music for their animals.
Whatever the reason why Magikarp became like this, first of all, Magikarp must understand one thing from the bottom of its heart: times have changed, and its mentality must be reversed.
Fishlings, times have changed!
You don't need to be afraid or worry about not being able to survive. Grow stronger and then continue to challenge nature!
Zhu Suihan glanced at the ingredient ratio. Apart from some nutritional supplements sold on the market, the majority of the ingredients were tree fruits that could restore physical strength.
Only he knows the exact proportions of the ingredients, and he can blindly add some non-toxic, harmless, and nutritious things to it, just to confuse the ingredients.
Other trace element supplements can already solve the problem. I remember that Abi made a Bug-type nutrient solution for his Bug-type Pokémon. There's no reason why the Dragon Clan wouldn't know how.
In short, Magikarp's condition can be seen as that of an elderly person with declining blood and energy, and Zhu Suihan's task is to replenish blood and energy with medicine.
