Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 69 Akihabara Electricity

Natsuno sat on the sofa, drinking tea and patiently listening to Dr. Akihabara's explanation.

Daigo had already gotten up and left the office, leaving Natsuno with the space.

Akihabara said that the senior management had approved the online in-depth privacy tracking plan a few days ago, and he quickly got to work on it.

We actually discovered some clues through a few accounts.

Strangers pay them to post "neutral" opinions on genes; this is commonly known as "buying water kings," or rather, "buying water armies."

The other party seemed to have discovered the investigation, and all accounts simultaneously cut off all leads.

Towards the end, Akihabara became somewhat hesitant and hesitated to reveal his next move.

Natsuno immediately thought of the possible follow-up measures and spoke them out on the spot.

"So, you want me to release some bombshell information online to lure them out, and then expose them?"

Akihabara's voice was full of apology: "I was supposed to have you join the meeting to discuss this."

"But considering you're on a secret mission, rest assured, everything will be done according to your wishes."

"The high-level meeting merely raised this suggestion; whether you adopt it or not, we will respect it and fully cooperate."

"You can take your time to consider it. Anyway, I don't have any further leads on this matter. The choice is entirely yours."

Natsuno felt incredibly annoyed at the thought that someone was still causing trouble, and that the slippery thing was also slippery.

The decision was made on the spot, and a response was given.

"No need to worry about it anymore. These stinking sludge ...

"It's better to find them now and avoid trouble later."

"I'd like to know, Doctor, have you found out the possible identity of the person behind this?"

"A targeted approach is more likely to provoke the other side, and it saves us some effort, right?"

Akihabara paused for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "Wait a moment, let me look for it."

Two minutes later, the other party's voice came through the microphone again.

"One of the accounts that made the money had a photo in its past records, and the background seemed to indicate that it was a breeding farm."

"Perhaps someone from a breeding farm? Why would someone from a breeding farm oppose genetics?"

Natsuno laughed: "I know, maybe the emergence of genes has threatened some people's interests. The breeding center is the first to be affected."

"I have an idea, Doctor. Please wait a moment. I have a call to make, and I'll call you back later."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Ye dialed Liu Li Junhao's number; he needed to confirm something.

After three rings, the call was answered, and the other person's voice sounded tired: "What's wrong, Xia Ye? Is there anything I can help you with, Uncle Junhao?"

Natsuno cut to the chase: "Uncle Junhao, you weren't involved, were you? Fuyan was unaware, wasn't he?"

The other person was stunned for a moment before realizing what Natsuno had said, and gave a wry smile.

"Natsuno, you probably don't know this, but when that group of people first started discussing it, I left on the spot."

"Then they were warned, and now they're getting involved again near breeding farms in various regions."

"They're squeezing out my business with low prices and discounts, while simultaneously poaching my talent."

"I'm not afraid to admit it, but right now, morale is low here from top to bottom, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse."

"I didn't dare to warn you back then, otherwise we might have to declare bankruptcy now, and hundreds of thousands of employees would lose their jobs."

"Fuyan didn't know. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't let it affect your relationship."

Xia Ye felt somewhat relieved, but he wasn't foolish enough to only listen to one side of the story; he would investigate the specifics afterward.

"Uncle Junhao, since they've treated you like this anyway, tell me their details."

The other party didn't mince words and quickly revealed all the information about the gang of thugs.

"If there's anything we need to cooperate with, just say the word. I've been annoyed with these people for a long time."

"They've discovered someone's investigating, so they're keeping quiet and only intensifying their efforts to suppress me. I'm going to explode against them!"

Xia Ye nodded, offered a few words of comfort, and hung up the phone.

Then I received a form from Liuli Junhao, which contained various information.

Even details of a few transactions with local evil organizations were written down.

Five minutes later, another document arrived, detailing how those people had sent men to besiege Dr. Akihabara.

Of course, it's all just text; there's no other evidence or documentation.

Natsuno opened the door, wanting to find Daigo to come back.

There were people waiting not far from the door. When they saw him open the door, they quickly went up to him and told Xia Ye that he could wait in the room.

Two minutes later, Daigo returned to the room with a piece of paper in his hand and his secretary, then closed the door.

"Daigo, could you please help me look up information about the Ruri Breeding Group, including anything related to genetics?"

Daigo nodded, and the secretary next to him quickly started working on the computer.

He handed the paper and pen to Xia Ye: "This is a newly printed patent authorization certificate. Take a look."

Xia Ye took it, read it carefully, and then had the system scan it to confirm that there were no problems.

Once again praising the system's usability, Natsuno signed his name and handed the authorization letter back to Daigo.

The secretary quickly finished the search and gently placed the computer in front of Xia Ye, letting him read it on his own.

The founder started breeding Kentauros from a dilapidated cowshed, and through several generations, it has become a regional chain group.

Businesses in various regions have shrunk dramatically, and the company has been strangled by several other breeding groups.

Regarding genetics, on the very night the negative comments surfaced, the entire group mobilized to engage in a war of words with the online trolls.

Xia Ye looked through the list and found that all the account names were: Liuli Breeding Center, xx Region, xx City, xx Branch, xxxx.

Each account contains information refuting negative claims about genes and supporting the development of genetic theory.

Xia Ye nodded slightly. It seemed that Liu Li Junhao's side had indeed not colluded with those people.

He then checked several of the breeding groups on the list, and found that they all had negative news, but it had been suppressed.

The two groups have completely different personalities; those people are all about making money however they want, squeezing Pokémon to the maximum extent possible.

Xia Ye thought of what Liu Li Junhao had mentioned: those people were afraid that the emergence of the gene would slow down their earning speed, so they wanted to destroy it?

Thinking of the negative news about these people that had been exposed, Natsuno's fists hardened.

There will always be scum everywhere. Since that's the case, let them jump around and break through their defenses!

Natsuno looked at Daigo and revealed his final purpose for coming here.

"Daigo, how much do you know about fossils?"

Daigo's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Natsuno to talk to him about this, and he started talking non-stop, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

Natsuno was so confused by what he heard that he reached out and interrupted Daigo's spellcasting.

"Wait, wait, wait. Simply put, fossils can be considered the last trace of Pokémon's existence, right?"

"Pokémon's bodies may turn entirely or partially into stone, and remain there even after millions of years."

Daigo nodded repeatedly, seemingly wanting to continue, but Natsuno spoke first.

"So, the Pokémon in it actually do exist."

"This also means that their genes are actually still inside the fossils."

Have you ever thought about bringing fossils to life?
