Pokémon: The Genetic Researcher Just Wants to Slack Off

Chapter 52 Dr. Anthony, the Timely Rain

Natsuno was completely bewildered by Dr. Fuji's actions.

Is that really me? What did I do?

I helped Red catch Pikachu and got my post posted online, and now everyone's cyberbullying me?

I've been so busy these past two nights that I haven't even had time to play games, and now the internet is in an uproar again?

Ignoring his own phone, Natsuno leaned closer to stare at Dr. Fuji's phone screen.

The page was filled with dense text, and when you looked up, you could see it was the World Academic Network.

Chromosomes and Chromatin: Experiments to Analyze the Structure of Genetic Material at Different Stages

Experiments on the Separation and Analysis of Chromosomes—Detailed Explanation of Chromosome Components

The two papers detail the composition of chromosomes and their changes at various stages of cell life.

The end of the paper was highlighted in bold, making it particularly eye-catching.

This paper and experiment were completed under the inspiration and guidance of Researcher Natsuno, and we would like to express our special thanks to him.

We will continue to follow his line of thought and explore the true structure of genes. Stay tuned.

After reading the entire book, Dr. Fuji gave Natsuno a thumbs up.

"This young man is really something. He managed to persuade a PhD to do experiments for you and even write your paper."

Natsuno was still puzzled by the last two sentences of the paper, and hearing this made him even more confused.

But in Fuji's eyes, his expression had a completely different meaning.

"Stop being modest. If it wasn't your line of thought, why would Anthony list you as the first author?"

Natsuno's eyes widened as he snatched Dr. Fuji's phone and began browsing the author information.

The third author is Anthony. The name of the second author, Xia Ye, seems familiar; he appears to be Anthony's top disciple.

Let's look at the first author: Xia Ye.

Just two lines of text brought Xia Ye's computer to a standstill.

Hagini, what are you doing?

Although the underlying ideas were indeed mentioned in secret during previous discussions, they were discussed very discreetly.

And it was precisely to prevent you from pinning your experimental results on me, why don't you listen to my advice?

Thinking of this, Natsuno didn't bother to answer Fuji's question.

He unlocked his phone, ignored the exploding Pokémon chat messages, and dialed Dr. Anthony's number directly.

The call went through directly? Dr. Anthony wasn't harassed by people from various industries?

My thoughts were in complete disarray, with all sorts of random ideas popping up.

Natsuno forcefully suppressed his anger: "Dr. Anthony, what are you doing?"

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the microphone: "Natsuno, you're too cunning."

"What did I do wrong, Doctor? Explain yourself! Wait, how did this get involved with me?"

"Natsuno, do you think you can fool me by mixing successful methods with a bunch of mistakes? It's precisely because of your thinking that you've achieved results."

"Natsuno, I'm already a PhD. No matter how many achievements are attributed to me, that's all there is to it."

"For me, reputation is no longer important in my research. Otherwise, why didn't I go and research a more popular field in the first place?"

"The reason for persisting in research during periods of neglect is to prevent the microscopic research from being lost and to save future generations from going down the wrong path."

"The only idea now is to cultivate more new-era cells and broaden the scope of cell-related research."

"Besides, the research was conducted entirely according to your ideas; I was just a tool for conducting experiments and writing papers."

"Strictly speaking, I'm practically your student, so it's no problem for me to help out."

Anthony's half-joking remark did not amuse Natsuno; instead, it made him feel even more uneasy.

But Anthony didn't give him a chance to speak.

"And I can see that your goals are much bigger and more profound."

"Genetic theory is just the beginning. The research you want to do is much more in-depth. We can do the superficial work for you."

Natsuno finally found an opportunity to interject, shaking his head vigorously: "The idea is important, but the verification process is also important. At most, they can each account for half."

"If you keep doing this, I really won't dare to tell you my thoughts anymore. You'll have to figure it out on your own."

Anthony, on the other end of the microphone, looked anxious and began to think about how to get Natsuno to agree.

"No way, how long would it take you to reach your goal if you relied on your own research?"

"Alright then, for the subsequent experiments, you continue to provide ideas, and I will guide my students to carry them out."

"They'll write the paper, with my students as the first author and you as the second author. Is that alright? No one will be overlooked."

"The important thing is to focus on promoting the development of the discipline; let's stop discussing these trivial matters."

"And I know you need to keep a low profile right now. The access permissions for the two papers have been adjusted, and only a very small number of people can see them."

"Those who might be hostile to you probably don't have permission to view this, so don't worry, you're keeping a low profile for now."

Anthony considered everything from every angle, leaving Xia Ye no chance to refute.

Natsuno wanted to say something more, but then she considered her current situation.

For the next long period of time, I'll be in Evergreen, infiltrating the Rockets and causing trouble.

I don't think I'll have much time to refine the research, so I'll definitely have to leave it to others to help.

There are two task chains and two independent tasks in the system taskbar, none of which have started yet.

The code for the multiverse beast needs improvement; it needs to find a system cheat code to buy programming skills.

If gene sequences need to be tested but the results aren't published, how can technology companies develop the necessary equipment?

Moreover, I also have to buy various technological research and development ideas from the system, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with the progress.

Thinking about it this way, Natsuno suddenly realized that he actually had too few points, not enough at all.

Let's leave it at that for now. Maybe we'll need to unban the paper early to earn some points to make future research easier.

Besides, I'm already here with a cheat code, so why should I refuse?

Accelerating global research and development will only benefit ourselves in the future!

I have ten ideas to accelerate gene research!

With that in mind, Xia Ye stopped refusing and started discussing it with Anthony on the phone again.

The main purpose is to explain how to conduct subsequent experiments efficiently and avoid detours.

Unlike last time, I no longer deliberately pointed out several detours; I simply and directly pointed out the right path.

Natsuno's confident and smug demeanor was noticed by A-Ju and Dr. Fuji, who were standing nearby.

The two were deeply shaken: Is this what genius is? A seemingly casual remark turns out to be a feasible idea, just waiting to be verified!

With his addition, it seems that the boss's (Sakaki's) ultimate weapon plan can really be realized!

Hatsuno hung up the phone, still wanting more, only to find the two of them staring intently at him.

With a slight smile, he thought, since the paper had already been published, he might as well reinforce his public image.

"I also shared some of my follow-up ideas with Dr. Anthony, so he can expedite the process and produce results."

"Once the structure is fully understood, we will be able to develop targeted instruments for detecting gene sequences."

"That will be the time for us to really show our skills. Right now, we don't even have the equipment, so we can't do anything."

"I was just worried about not having anyone to verify my research ideas, and Dr. Anthony helped me complete it."

"In the language of Donghuang, this is truly a timely rain, Dr. Anthony."
