Chapter 72 Influence of All Parties
Chapter 72 Influence of All Parties
The orders from unscrupulous breeders have once again stirred up a frenzy online.
Many newly registered accounts popped up under Xia Ye's videos, turning into neutral and opposition figures.
Don't trust him. He can inject obedience into everyone's Pokémon and control them!
[Ancient Pokémon are all brutal; he wants to use this opportunity to murder our next generation and exterminate humanity!]
[New life has always been about life continuing life; now that they're using machines, aren't they afraid of creating monsters?]
Don't listen to him! How could a machine possibly breed life? I bet they'd have to use the flesh and blood of existing Pokémon to cultivate it!
I work at a breeding center. If everyone stops choosing to work there, so many of us will lose our jobs. What will happen then?
The internet suddenly descended into chaos.
As before, the opposition's supporters are gradually increasing, and they are starting to argue with the supporters.
If you can't win an argument online, you can arrange a real-life meeting. One person claims to be the runner-up at the Quartz Conference, while another claims to be the third-place winner at the Silver Conference.
I'm a military general, not good at literary combat. Come to the xx Arena in xx District, xx City, and show me your true colors!
Some curious onlookers went offline to watch. One was a deliveryman using a Pidgey, and the other was a young man catching insects using a Butterfree.
Posting the battle footage online made things even funnier.
However, the battle arenas in various regions saw a surge in customers, and business boomed.
Some netizens jokingly referred to this phenomenon as the "Battle Arena Popularity Index".
Any move Natsuno makes online will inevitably cause a surge in business for battle arenas in various regions.
This netizen said that if they suddenly find that the battle arena business is booming, they should check Natsuno's account online; there will definitely be some new activity.
However, the Kanto region cannot be used as a reference, because the people of Kanto are simple and honest, enjoy open-world battles, and do not like to enter battle arenas.
Police stations in various cities of Kanto received multiple reports that night, with some precincts even becoming overcrowded.
As a result, the Pokémon Center has seen an increase in visitors, and it can be said that everything is thriving and full of vitality.
At this moment, the professors on the academic committee are holding an emergency online meeting.
Everyone who came in immediately began praising Professor Oak: "Yukinari, you really have a keen eye!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Professor Oak and the others began to discuss the bomb that Natsuno had released.
"Yukinari, Natsuno has confirmed it, right? The fossil resurrection technology is feasible?"
When asked, Daiki shook his head: "I'm not sure, but everyone already knows the answer in their hearts, doesn't they?"
"From a genetic perspective, it is indeed a feasible path, but no one has ever imagined it before."
Everyone started praising Xia Ye again via voice chat, creating a lively atmosphere.
Five minutes later, the alliance representative's account joined the online meeting chat room and began speaking.
"Everyone, I couldn't get in touch with Natsuno himself, but I managed to contact Daigo. You're probably going to be disappointed."
"That machine is just a gene analyzer; the fossil resurrection machine hasn't even started yet."
"I suspect that Natsuno made special adjustments for fishing, but Daigo said that Natsuno confirmed that the technique is feasible."
The PhD students started discussing again, and the online meeting was even more lively than the in-person meeting.
Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony, who had just gotten off the plane, also joined the online meeting room immediately.
"Excuse me, everyone, I didn't miss anything on the plane, did I?"
"Daigo's side arranged for someone to pick me up and bring me to Kanto, all for the sake of the Fossil Revival Machine."
"I have an idea on how to reproduce genes into a cell to cultivate new life."
"As long as we master the technology to extract genes from fossils, we can bring fossils back to life."
Anthony's addition turned the tide and put Natsuno in a favorable position.
The alliance representative had to step in to take control of the situation: "Everyone, since it's feasible, the authorities should take action."
"This time it's not a theoretical achievement, it's a real application direction, and this time we're going to announce it to the world."
"On the other hand, we will also take secret action against those ruthless guys."
"The league has indeed relaxed its oversight in this area, which is perfect, since everyone's attention is on Natsuno."
"We should also clean up the dirty areas to keep the environment clean."
The online meeting ended amidst everyone's contemplation, and the alliance's official actions were extremely swift.
Ten minutes later, Xia Ye's video was being used by various accounts, all with the title in bold: "The Genetic Era!"
The official's swift action further convinced those people that the technology was complete, making them even more anxious.
Haste makes waste, and Akihabara leads his subordinates in a frenzied cyber investigation.
Aside from some impatient netizens challenging each other offline, some quick-thinking netizens have already come up with ideas.
The offline tool store, which was usually deserted, suddenly saw a steady stream of business in the evening.
Regardless of gender, age, or gender, everyone who comes in buys several shovels, pickaxes, lighting tools, tents, and so on.
Without even haggling over the price, they shouldered their tools and headed towards the nearby mountains, each with a mysterious expression on their face.
Some daring bosses offered to sell the tools for ten times the price, but no one bargained; everyone was rushing up the mountain.
This allowed the previously struggling shop to suddenly make a fortune.
On the second floor of the Evergreen Dojo, just five minutes after Natsuno posted the video, Sakaki appeared in front of him.
Xia Ye was still enjoying the long-awaited increase in system influence points; having money in his pocket made him feel at ease.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Sakaki was already sitting in front of him, while Fuji was looking at him with expectant eyes.
Natsuno cleared his throat, ignoring Sakaki's questioning gaze.
"This kind of technology is not something your people can do, and neither Fuji nor I are very confident about it."
"If you want to monopolize it, you need to achieve the technology first to have a unique possibility."
"If we rely solely on ourselves, it might take twenty or thirty years to get results from extracting genes from fossils."
"Can you wait?"
Seeing that Sakaki's eyes were still sharp, Natsuno shook his head and continued to deceive him.
"I've already told the higher-ups the truth, and they're mobilizing everyone to help find a solution."
"Isn't it great to have the Alliance members do the work for us?"
"Furthermore, with everyone's attention drawn to reviving the ancient Pokémon, your true purpose will be better concealed."
"Creating new possibilities is much harder than reviving something that already exists."
"If you still can't understand something that kills two birds with one stone, then forget it."
"I'm just here to do research. You don't need to worry about the details. You just need to handle the logistics."
"Don't worry about whose methods I used, as long as I get what you want in the end, isn't that enough?"
Sakaki gave Natsuno a deep look, then got up and left.
Natsuno called out to the other person again: "By the way, I'm going to Crimson Lotus Island tomorrow."
"I learned that there is a researcher there who specializes in fossils, so maybe he knows something."
"Have Zhenniao make the arrangements. I need a flying vehicle tomorrow, so I need to go and come back as soon as possible."
Natsuno smiled and added as a final comment.
"It's all for the greater good of the organization!"
