Chapter 15 announces the results, and Zhu Lan is worried.
It was nighttime, and the nightlife was just beginning.
People watched Dr. Anthony's entire report online and on television, marveling at it repeatedly, and then being stunned by the final connection between genes and chromosomes.
That wasn't all. In the end, Anthony said that everything was done under Natsuno's inspiration and guidance, which completely shocked everyone!
[Damn it, how much research has Natsuno actually done in the past two years? He's been ostensibly growing peas, but secretly researching chromosomes, quietly astonishing us, huh?]
[Who can understand the sense of redemption felt when Dr. Anthony said at the end, "It was all thanks to Natsuno's guidance"?]
The age of genes has arrived! Those who aspire to be researchers should hurry and dedicate themselves to cell research!
Meanwhile, the presidents of major technology groups were annoyed because Xia Ye hadn't contacted them. Then they saw Anthony and were overjoyed: if they couldn't contact Xia Ye, cooperating with Anthony would be just as good!
First, develop the relevant chromosome technology, then get in touch with Natsuno through Anthony to advance gene testing technology, and wouldn't that solve everything?
It's even better than contacting Natsuno directly; you can get more chromosome-related projects. Go contact Dr. Anthony!
Dr. Anthony, who had previously been ignored, has become a hot commodity since today. He is in a meeting room, and his mobile phone is being kept by several of his apprentices.
At this moment, the apprentices were in a frenzy. Anthony's phone was ringing off the hook as they kept taking notes of all sorts of invitations from various people, as well as interviews from television stations, and so on.
As the academic conference concluded, online discussions arose about the level Natsuno might be promoted to.
Netizens with nothing better to do started a poll.
[What level do you think Natsuno will reach?] — 500 million people have already participated in the poll.
[Junior researcher, the academic committee is blind, allowing a gem to be tarnished] — 0% selection rate
[Intermediate Researcher level, a safety net, but not quite there yet. Should the Academic Committee reconsider?] — Selection rate: 10.1%
[Senior researcher, reasonable, a groundbreaking theory, well deserved, right?] — 73.2% selection rate
[A professorship is conferred, Professor Kenjiro! But this is Pokémon Sound, so Professor Natsuno still needs to train!] — 16.7% selection rate
The comments below the poll kept refreshing, starting a new round of flame wars.
Then, at one point, everything suddenly stopped, and the comments section was flooded with the same message: "Go watch the Student Committee's latest video!"
Clicking on the latest video posted by the Academic Committee's official account has sparked a new round of heated discussions among netizens.
The announcement details the promotion of Natsuno, the researcher who established the theory of genetics, amidst much discussion.
"Considering that the field of genomics requires a massive investment of resources to reach the practical application stage, this is detrimental to the scientific research ecosystem."
"Having obtained Natsuno's opinion, the committee has decided to promote Natsuno to the rank of Intermediate Researcher and provide him with the financial support of a Senior Researcher to advance research in the field of genetics. This is hereby announced."
Natsuno herself posted a new video, accompanied by an inspirational background music.
"These are all my suggestions. Considering that although the field of genetics has enormous potential, we haven't even scratched the surface yet. I will work hard to advance the research and strive to become a new PhD after perfecting it."
Some netizens felt it was reasonable, while others felt it was unreasonable, but when they saw that Natsuno said it was his own suggestion, they didn't have any objections. Everyone discussed the possibility of the new project in a harmonious atmosphere.
Then the demons and monsters appeared, and the opposition, seeing such an outcome, immediately began a grand celebration.
See? Even the league doesn't really approve of him. I told you this guy was just trying to attract attention and scam funding!
[This is hilarious! A fictional project, and you're trying to improve it? You want a PhD? You're worthy of being called a "funny PhD"! I can award you that title right now, hahaha!]
Thankfully, at least for now, our Pokémon have been protected from being brainwashed and turned into weapons. We must continue to boycott these projects for the sake of world peace!
Xia Ye didn't care about the online rumors and saw a figure waiting at the door in the corridor leading to her residence.
When the other person saw Natsuno leading Aya into the corridor, they quickly ran over; she was a blonde beauty.
Her eyes were full of concern: "Ono, are you alright?"
Xia Ye glanced at Zhu Lan's blonde hair, which was wet, shook his head, took out his room card and opened the door: "What could I possibly need? Come in quickly."
He forcefully pressed Zhu Lan, who was frowning, down to sit in front of the dressing table. Xia Ye reached out and gently smoothed her brows, explaining the whole story to her.
Her hands didn't stop moving either; she patiently explained while drying her hair with a hairdryer.
As Natsuno explained, Takeran's expression gradually relaxed, and she began to consider the possibility of a mastermind behind the scenes.
"I've heard my grandmother mention Dr. Akihabara before, but I never imagined there might be more to the story."
The thought that Natsuno might also be the victim of a scheme orchestrated by a mastermind, or even attacked offline like Dr. Akihabara, made Takeran raise her eyebrows, a hint of murderous intent flash in her eyes, and her entire aura was on full display, making the air seem to turn cold.
"Ono, go back to Sinnoh. I'm afraid some irrational people might hurt you. I can protect you in Sinnoh in every way."
Xia Ye shook his head to make sure the blow was done, then started massaging Zhu Lan's head. The latter squinted her eyes in comfort, like a little kitten.
"Don't worry, I'm just a mid-level researcher on the surface right now. They'll lower their profile, and that's precisely to lull them into a false sense of security so they can find and even expose these stinking scum."
"But I secretly have doctoral authority. You have to trust the Alliance's methods. If there really is a mastermind behind this, they will eventually come looking for me, and that will be the perfect opportunity to expose them."
"Besides, I accepted an invitation from Giovanni, the Gym Leader of the Evergreen City Gym, a few days ago to study a group of Eevee that can't evolve. I can't get away from it."
Xia Ye looked up and saw Zhu Lan in the mirror with her eyes open, staring at his face in the mirror. He thought to himself that something was wrong.
As expected, the blonde beauty switched to a tearful expression: "Ono, you said you wouldn't lie to me when you were 9 years old, and now you do... sigh, you were lying to me all along."
Xia Ye shook his head and sighed. That's the downside of childhood friends. They can always sense something is wrong from your expressions and actions, even more so than a lie detector.
Left with no other choice, Natsuno told Rin in detail about his plan to infiltrate Team Rocket, including his conversations with Wataru and the others.
"Absolutely not! This is too dangerous, going directly into the enemy's lair."
"Now that we have some evidence, let's join forces with police from various regions for a full-scale crackdown."
Natsuno held down Takeran, who was trying to get up, feeling both touched and amused.
"It's impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop. The so-called cunning 'Digging Rabbit' has three burrows. If we alert them and they can't be found anymore, that would be a huge problem. The members of the evil organization who roam around are too dangerous."
"Moreover, the theory has already been published. I am just their first choice. Even without me, other smart researchers would have found other methods based on the theory."
"The undercover plan is necessary, and as I just said, the other side may not want me to participate. They are just trying to get close and gain my trust. They won't dare to hurt me, at least not before we completely break off relations."
"Stop talking about that, let's play the game! The game is important!"
