“Xiao Mo, this is Dr. Ouyang. You’ll need to explain the specifics to him,” Lin Zhiqiu said, gently patting Jiang Mo’s shoulder.
Jiang Mo quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and respectfully greeted Dr. Ouyang: “Hello, Dr. Ouyang! I’m Jiang Mo. I’ve come today specifically to consult you about the new type of Tree Fruit.”
Dr. Ouyang’s gaze was kind. He smiled and nodded in response: “I know who you are, but I didn’t expect you to still be researching new Tree Fruit? You’re a good lad, you have ideas.”
Lu Hangchuan, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but frown slightly, his eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion as he appraised Jiang Mo.
He knew well the immense value that this new type of Tree Fruit might hold. For so many years, countless experts and scholars had failed in this endeavor. How could this mere greenhorn, even if he was Lin Zhiqiu’s son, possibly solve this thorny problem that had plagued so many experts?
“New type of Tree Fruit? You’re not bluffing, are you? You don’t think that something so many experts couldn’t research could be solved by you, a mere student who just became a Trainer, do you?”
A nearby assistant questioned loudly, his eyes full of disdain, thinking this was simply a wild fantasy. How dared such a callow youth make such a boast?
Dr. Ouyang gently waved his hand, interrupting the assistant, and said, “Let’s not talk about that for now. This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find somewhere to have a proper discussion.”
With that, he turned and led the way towards the principal’s office.
Subsequently, the group filed back into the principal’s office. Dr. Ouyang raised his hand, gesturing for everyone else to leave. After the office door closed, he slowly began, “Your parents have more or less told me about the situation. You, young man, are truly a genius to discover that the reason Tree Fruits can’t be crossbred is the lack of a mutation-inducing factor.”
His eyes were filled with surprise and admiration as he looked at Jiang Mo.
“You flatter me, Dr. Ouyang. This student merely got lucky.”
Jiang Mo humbly lowered his head, unconsciously rubbing the corner of his clothes. After all, he hadn’t actually researched these things himself, and he still felt a little embarrassed thinking about it.
The two sat down to discuss the details of the Amazing Fat. Jiang Mo placed the samples extracted from the Game Panel on the table.
Dr. Ouyang picked up a sample, examined it carefully, and murmured to himself, “With this, researching the specific component ratios of this fertilizer is only a matter of time.”
Jiang Mo added his own ideas on the production of Fruitful Fat and Strong Fat, explaining them clearly and logically, while Dr. Ouyang listened, nodding frequently.
These novel ideas instantly broke through Dr. Ouyang’s long-held mental blocks, and the problems that had troubled him for so long were suddenly resolved. For a moment, his eyes, as he looked at Jiang Mo, were filled with undisguised admiration.
“Jiang Mo, your research in genetics is truly genius, surpassing many old scholars. Becoming a Breeder would be a waste of your talent. How about it, would you consider switching to research? I can take you on as my student.”
Dr. Ouyang’s voice carried a hint of urgency and anticipation, his gaze fixed on Jiang Mo, as if trying to see through his inner thoughts.
If it were anyone else hearing Dr. Ouyang offer to take them as a student, they would likely be overjoyed, dancing with excitement, and eagerly agreeing.
After all, Dr. Ouyang’s standing in the research world was like a towering figure; how many doctors were there in the entire Shenzhou Alliance? They were rare individuals who could be counted on one hand.
But Jiang Mo felt a murmur in his heart. After some hesitation, he still refused.
After all, only he knew how these things came about. When it came to genetic research, he was completely an outsider. If the student of the esteemed Dr. Ouyang knew nothing, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock, a topic of after-dinner conversation?
He could only provide a general direction for these things. If he had to perform the actual operations, he would be a complete novice. It was better to steadily pursue the path of a Breeder.
Moreover, who among those who love Pokémon doesn't dream of becoming a Pokémon Master?
With Pikachu and Gastly by his side, Jiang Mo believed that his achievements on the path of a Trainer would not be low in the future either.
Seeing Jiang Mo decline his invitation, Dr. Ouyang was first stunned, a hint of surprise and regret appearing on his face, as if he had seen an uncarved jade being buried by dust, its brilliance gone.
However, Dr. Ouyang still respected Jiang Mo’s choice and did not force him, merely saying earnestly, “I hope you can apply to Kyoto University in the future. The university can offer you many special benefits.”
Because Dr. Ouyang was also the honorary principal of Kyoto University, even if Jiang Mo didn't pursue the path of a Researcher, his strength as an Intermediate Breeder was enough for Kyoto University to grant him early admission. This could also be considered attracting excellent talent for Kyoto University in advance.
…
Not long after, through the unremitting efforts of Dr. Ouyang and his team, the Dragon Fruit finally came into being.
【Dr. Ouyang’s team successfully researched a new type of Tree Fruit!】
【The Unspoken Story Between the Buddha Citrus Fruit and the Durian Stone Fruit...】
【What?! The inventor of the crossbred Tree Fruit is actually a high school student!】
【A Senior Researcher at only sixteen years old, a genius prodigy in the research world!】
【Shocking! Gardevoir had such a change after eating a Dragon Fruit… Click to view image.jpg】
As soon as the news was released, it was like a bombshell, instantly dominating various sections of the hot search and causing a huge stir across the entire world.
Jiang Mo also successfully became a Senior Researcher under Dr. Ouyang’s guarantee. This was a Senior Researcher at only sixteen years old!
To outsiders, it was only a matter of time before Jiang Mo became a doctor in the future.
Alliances around the world were shocked by this news. The Wusu Alliance, Europa Alliance, and North America Alliance all sent professional personnel to inquire about the relevant situation.
Especially the Victoria Family within the Europa Alliance. They were the world's largest energy cube distributors, with over fifty percent of energy cubes each year coming from their hands.
And this new type of Tree Fruit, which could change the current energy cube market landscape, made them treat it with utmost caution. The family held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
At this time, the turbulent external world had nothing to do with Jiang Mo. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Both Lin Zhiqiu and Dr. Ouyang earnestly advised Jiang Mo to keep a low profile for the time being.
After all, being able to create a new type of Tree Fruit at sixteen years old, such talent would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of certain forces.
This world was not entirely peaceful. There was constant overt and covert struggle between various alliances. Every year, there were cases of excellent Researchers being assassinated, and the culprits were basically hostile alliances. This was also why Dr. Ouyang needed Heavenly King Level strong people for protection when he went out.
And now, with constant friction between the Shenzhou Alliance and other alliances, coupled with the dark reactionary forces hidden in the shadows, learning to hide one’s brilliance was the wise choice.
