Chapter 53 The system still has some use
Natsuno's words were delivered with ease and grace, perfectly rounded and flawless.
An invisible aura unfolded, and A-Ju sadly discovered that a thick barrier had already separated her from Natsuno.
(Natsuno activated the Genius Field! The inferiority complex of ordinary people was amplified!)
A-Ju and the other two were even more convinced of Natsuno's genius persona.
With the other two remaining silent, Natsuno finally had time to check his phone.
But with A-Ju and Fuji sitting on his left and right respectively, he didn't look at the messages in the chat.
I could only follow Fuji's example and open the academic website to look at various papers.
To fit the character, he had to watch and comment on everything, which exhausted him.
As the sun begins to set, the view from inside the hot air balloon is even more breathtaking.
Natsuno wanted to release both of them, but after thinking about it, he realized it didn't fit his cold-hearted persona, so he gave up on the idea.
I didn't even take any photos; I just secretly thought I'd find an opportunity for the two of them to experience it.
The hot air balloon landed on the edge of Evergreen City, in a specially designated area.
Looking down from above, you can clearly see the words "Airport Area" arranged in a very prominent pattern.
There are far too many flying Pokémon in this world, and accidents are very likely to occur if they are not properly controlled.
Wild Pokémon are fine; they know to avoid people and buildings.
It's different when a human rides a Pokémon; accidents like "brain short-circuiting and crashing into a tree" are extremely likely to occur.
Decades ago, it was stipulated that, except for small towns, any flight in a city must obtain official permission.
All air taxis can only take off and land at the outermost airports of each city.
If a food delivery driver wants to deliver by flying, they need to obtain a Class B pilot's license, which Xia Ye saw online as extremely difficult.
To take the test, you first need to obtain a Class C pilot's license and have 3 years of flying experience before you can register for the test to upgrade your license.
To operate an air taxi, you need an A-class license, and to obtain a C-class license, you need more than 5 years of flying experience.
It was rush hour, and the airport was bustling with activity.
Those riding in the fast train naturally attract more attention, and the bolder ones might even approach them to strike up a conversation or ask for a ride.
Even if you sit on Pidgeot, you won't be looked down upon, since it's a flying Pokémon, right?
Only Natsuno and his group rode in the hot air balloon, which attracted a lot of attention.
Xia Ye's handsome face attracted a swarm of admirers, which he managed to resist, gesturing for A-Ju to quickly lead the way.
Seeing this, Aju quickly led Natsuno and the other two towards the waiting area.
There was a car waiting there for a long time.
Upon getting into the car and looking at the driver's seat, I saw that the other person was an old acquaintance, Apollo.
"Since you already know to set up management personnel to maintain order, why not take one more step?"
"Set up a paid VIP area. This would reduce some disturbances and allow us to earn service fees."
While complaining, Natsuno pulled out a bunch of contact information that had somehow been stuffed into his pocket.
Ah Ju in the passenger seat nodded: "I'll suggest it to the boss, it's a good idea."
You didn't expect that? Your service awareness is lacking.
Xia Ye mentally complained for a moment, then fell silent and remained quiet the whole way.
The car stopped in front of the tallest building in downtown Evergreen; we had arrived at the Evergreen Hotel.
Follow Ah Ju in the elevator all the way to the top floor, to the private lobby at the end.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sakaki standing there, and he came over to greet me very warmly.
"Natsuno, I'm glad you chose to work with me."
She opened her arms again, seemingly wanting to hug Natsuno.
Xia Ye took a step back without making a sound and walked directly towards the dining table.
"Let's skip the empty pleasantries and talk about business instead, wouldn't it be better to save our time?"
Sakaki didn't mind being rejected by Natsuno and gestured to Apollo to serve the food.
After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to discuss their research.
Sakaki spoke first, looking at Natsuno.
"Natsuno, we've adopted your suggestion. We've abandoned that base today."
"Let's conduct the subsequent research at Evergreen Dojo. We'll prepare everything you need."
Natsuno was not surprised that Sakaki knew about the suggestions he made at the base even when he wasn't present.
He shook his head, indicating his disdain: "If it's something from your base, that's not what I need."
"We study genes, so we need more specialized equipment, a device that can directly detect gene sequences."
"You are aware of Dr. Fuji's experiments these past few days. Genes are actually quite fragile, and we need precise methods."
Sakaki nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
"I've noted it down and will arrange it. Could you provide some relevant research and development ideas? This would be helpful for the research and development."
Natsuno shook his head again: "I actually have some arrangements in place for this. I previously commissioned Daigo to do the research and development."
This was a clever tactic by Xia Ye; instead of mentioning the Dewen Group, he brought up the name of the young master to showcase his connections.
He knew very well that to negotiate with a tiger, one had to fully demonstrate one's influence; the wider the involvement, the less likely the other party would dare to act recklessly.
What the other side wants right now is to develop quietly, not to have an important researcher from the alliance disappear.
Sakaki picked up his glass and offered a perfunctory toast to Natsuno.
"It's even better that you were prepared, Natsuno. Choosing you as a collaborator was definitely the right decision."
"Is there anything else that needs to be arranged? We'll get on it as soon as possible."
Natsuno didn't stand on ceremony and picked up his wine glass in response.
"You can handle the rest yourself. I'm here to do research; I don't know anything else."
"Alright, I've had a long day, I need to go and rest."
After downing the wine in his glass in one gulp, Natsuno covered his forehead, pretending to be unable to hold his liquor.
Seeing this, Sakaki instructed Apollo to take Natsuno to the next room to rest.
After locking the door and looking around the luxurious room, Xia Ye suddenly had a whim.
He mentally called out: "System, check if there are any listening or surveillance cameras in the room."
Wow, it can actually scan?
Tongzi, I take back my initial assessment of you; you are still somewhat useful.
I couldn't wait to release Xiao Cai and Xiao Yuan from the ball and give them a good hug and a big kiss on the colorful little dog.
The little round thing felt too hard, so I put it on the soft bed and let it roll around on its own.
Natsuno picked up the phone by the bed and ordered the hotel to send some Normal-type Pokémon food, specifically spicy.
As for Xiaoyuan, she couldn't eat, so Xiaye took out the Rubik's Cube and put it aside to charge her.
Only then did he finally have a chance to check his Pokémon chat messages.
Besides the pinned post, Azure posted dozens of other messages, and Natsuno clicked on them and scrolled up.
I discovered that my account had sent several location records to Azur Lane.
Wow! You've really impressed me today, Tongzi. Keep up the good work!
While checking the messages from Azure, Natsuno praised the system in his mind.
After reading Azure's information, Natsuno confirmed two things.
First, the base I visited today was indeed not their main base; Team Rocket abandoned it after I left.
Azure followed them there and witnessed it firsthand.
The second thing was that Crimson saved Azure from being chased by Team Rocket's minions.
After being saved, Azur Lane chose to sabotage Crimson, a classic scenario repeated itself.
Looking at the "Merry Sheep smug" emoji that Azure sent last, Natsuno laughed while being confused.
How could these two people have met when the forest is so vast?
