At Jiang Mo’s home…
Lin Zhiqiu looked at her son as if she was seeing him for the first time, but her heart was also filled with relief.
“Xiao Mo, over the past few days, various universities in Kyoto and Modu have extended olive branches to you, hoping you can enroll in their schools. What are your thoughts?” Lin Zhiqiu asked with a smile, wanting to hear Jiang Mo’s opinion.
“Mom, I’ll probably go to Kyoto University. After all, Dr. Ouyang is there, and I promised him I would attend his school. If there are any research projects in the future, it will be more convenient to contact him there.”
Jiang Mo responded without hesitation. He no longer needed to take the college entrance examination; with his research achievements, various universities were scrambling to recruit him.
Moreover, he didn't want to be like the protagonists in those novels who, despite being guaranteed admission, still insisted on taking the college entrance examination to show off. He felt that was unnecessary.
…
A few days later, the Alliance’s research funding was finally approved. Thanks to Dr. Ouyang’s efforts, Jiang Mo secured a total of 30 million Pokémon Coins in funding!
This was quite a lot. It’s important to know that a typical Senior Researcher’s annual research funding is at most 10 million Pokémon Coins, and that’s only if they have research achievements.
As for a doctor’s research funding, theoretically, there is no upper limit. Only a handful of people in the entire Shenzhou Alliance have earned the title of Doctor.
From this, one can see how influential Dr. Ouyang is. At the same time, he also submitted a proposal to the Alliance to grant Jiang Mo the title of Top Researcher.
However, after internal discussions within the Alliance, the matter was temporarily suppressed.
The Alliance is a place that highly values seniority; without experience, it is very difficult to get promoted. Many old scholars also dislike newcomers stepping on their toes.
Dr. Ouyang was helpless about this. After all, the interpersonal relationships and intricacies within the Alliance were too complex. He could only wait until Jiang Mo was a bit older or produced another groundbreaking research before he could be promoted to Top Researcher.
After successfully securing the 30 million Pokémon Coins in funding approved by the Alliance, Jiang Mo had a clear plan. He decided to fully utilize this fund to purchase a batch of high-quality resources that could aid the growth of his Pokémon.
Online shopping is now convenient and efficient, and various rare Pokémon resources can be found on legitimate online platforms. Jiang Mo decided to make this purchase through online shopping.
Jiang Mo returned home and released Pikachu, Haunter, and Larvitar from their Poké Balls.
As soon as Pikachu appeared, its fluffy fur shimmered with agile electric light, and its round eyes curiously surveyed its surroundings.
“Kou jie!”
Haunter floated leisurely in the air, its body appearing and disappearing, occasionally making funny faces.
Larvitar, on the other hand, was very confused. It shouldn't be training time yet today. But no matter, since it’s out, it might as well do some extra training!
Thinking this, Larvitar was about to go to the side to practice its Sandstorm skill.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo quickly stopped it, saying, “Hey, hey, hey, Larvitar, wait a moment. Today, I called you out to buy resources for you. Training can wait a bit.”
With that, he walked over, opened a certain online shopping platform, found the specialized Pokémon resource online shopping platform, and skillfully entered various keywords into the search bar.
In a short while, the smooth rock page popped up. Jiang Mo carefully browsed the product details, comparing the quality and prices offered by different sellers, and finally selected several highly reputable stores, placing orders for many high-quality smooth rocks.
Larvitar, sensing something, moved closer to Jiang Mo, its eyes fixed on the image of the smooth rock on the screen, letting out low growls of anticipation from its throat.
Jiang Mo gently stroked its head and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, once the delivery arrives, these smooth rocks will be yours. Make good use of them, and you’ll definitely grow faster.”
Next, Soft Sand related products came into view. Jiang Mo spent some more effort, selecting specially treated and more energy-rich Soft Sand from among many sellers, placing a large number of orders at once.
Larvitar watched Jiang Mo operate, pacing back and forth excitedly, occasionally rubbing against Jiang Mo’s leg with its claws. Its eager and adorable appearance made Jiang Mo laugh.
Jiang Mo did not show favoritism. He browsed online again and ordered many high-quality Electric Gems, and also bought some Magnets and cursed charms, all of which were prepared for Pikachu and Haunter.
After completing all the shopping operations, Jiang Mo began to eagerly await the delivery.
The logistics were very efficient, and the deliveries started arriving one after another the next day.
It filled an entire large truck, most of which were Larvitar’s smooth rock and Soft Sand.
Jiang Mo laboriously arranged the smooth rock and Soft Sand neatly in a corner of the yard, creating a small, energy-filled world for Larvitar.
Larvitar impatiently walked over, lay on the resources, and began to eat heartily.
Jiang Mo found a suitable place and handed all the cursed charms to Haunter, watching it hold them as if they were treasures. Then, Haunter opened its large mouth and swallowed all the cursed charms.
As for Pikachu, Jiang Mo took it to the center of the yard and gave it Electric Gems and Magnets.
Pikachu’s way of using these resources was different from Larvitar and Haunter; it wasn’t through eating.
Pikachu hugged the Magnet and Electric Gem, continuously absorbing the magnetic energy from them through its cheeks. Soon, one Electric Gem lost its luster, indicating that the energy contained within it had been completely absorbed.
At this moment, Larvitar, after consuming all the resources, began to faintly emit a white glow. The light, initially weak, quickly intensified, enveloping its entire body like a giant cocoon of light.
Hearing this commotion, Jiang Mo immediately realized that Larvitar was about to evolve. He quickly took out the Groudon fragment and had Larvitar eat it.
Larvitar heard Jiang Mo’s voice and slightly opened its eyes. Although surrounded by light, it still accurately opened its mouth towards Jiang Mo’s direction.
Jiang Mo quickly placed the Groudon fragment into its mouth, and Larvitar swallowed it without hesitation.
In an instant, the already dazzling white light suddenly surged, and the intense light exploded in the yard like a scorching sun, making it almost impossible to open one’s eyes.
Jiang Mo subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes, but couldn’t help but nervously watch Larvitar through his fingers.
“Pupitar!”
As the light gradually dissipated, a larger Pupitar, exuding a powerful aura, appeared before everyone.
Its hard rock shell seemed to have become even thicker, each scale was very shiny, and its eyes were bright and piercing. Its former childish appearance had faded, replaced by a sense of majesty befitting a Pseudo-Legendary.
