Green, Brother, I'll Show You a Treasure

Upon hearing Natsuno's suggestion, all three agreed that it was feasible.

Akiba's eyes flashed with hatred: "Fine, I'll definitely investigate along this line of thought, following the clues until I catch the mastermind!"

Seeing Akihabara's entire being exuding a murderous aura, Natsuno couldn't help but silently mourn for the masterminds behind the scenes.

Sigh, you guys have been targeted by tech gurus. Good luck to you, and you'd better turn yourselves in soon.

After chatting for a while, Akihabara, confirming that he had no further business with Akihabara, asked him to leave.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I'll do my best to investigate. Wait for my news."

Natsuno took out his phone, opened the official account, and added Akihabara as a friend. The group then left.

Walking down the street, because he had to hold Xiao Cai's hand, he held Xiao Yuan in his arms with one hand and held the energy conversion device with the other, letting Xiao Cai hold onto his little finger.

Looking at the device, which resembled a sweeping machine, Natsuno felt it was cumbersome.

In the elevator, I couldn't help but ask A-Du, "There should be some kind of technology department or manufacturing department here at headquarters, right?"

"I'd like to develop a portable energy conversion device, do you know any?"

Adu lowered his hand, which had been suspended in mid-air, and pressed another floor button: "Equipment R&D Department, it will be there."

Arriving at the equipment research and development department floor, one finds a bustling and vibrant scene.

Unlike Akihabara, the person in charge here has thick hair and a very strong physique.

The other party immediately noticed the device in Xia Ye's hand: "Ah, this is the latest patent from the Devon Group. Its energy conversion efficiency is 2% higher than the best on the market. Can I take a look?"

Did the heterochromatic single oocyte fail to attract attention and instead get captured by the energy device? Well done, you STEM guy.

Xia Ye handed the device directly to the other party: "I can give it to you, but I want a portable energy conversion device, the more portable the better."

The person in charge looked at Adu, who nodded, and led the three to a small conference room, inviting them to drink tea and wait.

Five minutes later, the person in charge came in with a 3x3 six-sided Rubik's Cube in his hand, and while introducing it, he was also rotating it to shuffle the color order of the six faces.

Natsuno was stunned: Where's the energy device? What are you doing playing with a Rubik's Cube here?

"You've come at the perfect time. This is the latest product, only the size of a Rubik's Cube, and its portability has reached its peak."

"Relatively speaking, its efficiency is not high. Cross-attribute conversion is only 50%, while same-attribute conversion is around 60%."

"But the operation is extremely simple, with only three buttons. Pressing Absorb will open the energy slot, which can hold up to 9 universal-sized energy blocks. Press Absorb again to close the slot."

"Press the 'convert' button to start converting energy, press it again to pause the conversion, and the 'switch' button will switch the energy output you want, which is displayed on a small screen."

"It requires no charging, can withstand various interferences, and can be used normally within a temperature range of ±55 degrees Celsius."

"The shell material uses multiscales from Dragonite and scales from Kommo-o, making it extremely strong. In a crisis, it could even be thrown like a rock."

"What's most ingenious is that this thing can actually be used as a Rubik's Cube. The internal design is perfect. It can be said to be the pinnacle of our department's work so far. It's called Rubik's Cube Generation 1."

The person in charge held the Rubik's Cube 1 and spun it rapidly, quickly restoring the colors of all six sides.

Natsuno's mouth closed, his eyes lit up, and he took it, delighted with it: "The power of science is truly amazing!"

The other party smirked: "Good that you're satisfied. This is not for sale; it's only for use by members of the alliance. It's very expensive to make, so don't lose it. This thing is very difficult to make."

The group returned to Watari's office. Natsuno and Oki confirmed that there was nothing else to discuss and then took their leave.

Back at the research institute, Professor Oak went to the laboratory area, while Natsuno led Aya and carried Madoka back to the dormitory building.

In the living room, Qinglv was eating walnuts and watching Pokémon videos.

Upon seeing Xia Ye enter, his gaze was immediately drawn to the small blue circle in his hand.

"Natsuno-kun, is that a heterochromatic mononuclear ovum? Is this a newly formed bond?"

Natsuno smiled and handed Xiaoyuan to Aomori for a closer look: "I guess so. Her name is Xiaoyuan. She's a very special person."

While introducing Qinglv to this powerful general with triple genetic mutation, he thought to himself: That's more like it! People in the Pokémon world should be attracted to Shiny Pokémon!

It's one thing for STEM guys to like mechanics, but why doesn't Dr. Akihabara's expression change much when he sees Madoka? Does this mean programmers are actually two-dimensional and don't like three-dimensional beings?

When Qinglu learned that Xiaoyuan had developed dual traits due to a genetic mutation, she was utterly astonished.

"Natsuno-kun, do Pokémon with dual abilities really exist?"

Xia Ye picked up a walnut from the table, took the small round one with both hands, and smashed it down on the walnut.

"Crack!" The walnut shell shattered, and Natsuno Mimi ate it with relish.

The outer membrane of the small round object becomes very hard after mutation, making it perfect for cracking walnuts.

The little guy wasn't angry at all; he even squinted his eyes and chuckled.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. Perhaps there really are traits that correspond to gene mutations that lead to dual traits. Who knows?"

Although Qinglu is usually very calm, he is still only a 16-year-old boy, the age when he loves to fantasize the most: "If only I could meet one, sweeping the league would not be a dream."

Natsuno placed Xiaoyuan on the table, and Xiaocai immediately started teasing her with her tail.

He took out a Rubik's Cube from his pocket, cracked another walnut, and put the walnut kernel into Xiao Cai's mouth.

"Little Green, wake up! Caterpie can beat Dragonite too! The bond between you and your Pokémon is what matters most!"

Qinglu's attention was quickly drawn to the Rubik's Cube in Xia Ye's hand: "I know, Grandpa has always said that since I was little. What's that in your hand, Brother Xia Ye?"

"Crack, crack," Xia Ye cracked two more walnuts and handed them to Qing Lü with a smile: "Xiao Yuan's rice bowl, portable energy conversion device, Rubik's Cube Generation 1, the latest technology product for internal use within the alliance."

"It's actually a Rubik's Cube, resistant to high and low temperatures, and its outer shell is made of Dragonite scale material, so you can use it to smash people."

With each segment of the explanation, Qinglv's eyes shone even brighter. He took the cube and began to turn it in his hands, solving the Rubik's Cube.

Please, who can resist a cool, high-tech Rubik's Cube?

Two minutes later, after restoring all six sides, Qinglu reluctantly returned the Rubik's Cube to Xiaye.

Xiao Yuan over there was being led around by Xiao Cai and was starting to show signs of fatigue.

Xia Ye held the Rubik's Cube, pressed the absorb button, put nine level 20 superpower energy cubes into the energy slot, and then pressed the close button again.

Tap repeatedly until "Convert to Superpower Energy" appears on the black and white screen, then press to convert.

When the Rubik's Cube is placed next to the small circle, energy fluctuations can be vaguely seen, which are then absorbed by the small circle.

Once Xiaoyuan regained her vitality, Natsuno stopped.

Upon opening the energy box, I found that one energy block had been consumed.

The event consumes one level 20 energy block every half hour. I really don't know whether to say it's easy or difficult to raise.

Just as Natsuno was pondering this, his phone rang, and the caller ID read "Rocket Express".

"Hello, your package has arrived. Please come out and sign for it."
