After arranging Eevee's training tasks, Fang Yuan started online shopping for weighted equipment and sandbags.
It wasn't until Friday that the two items he purchased arrived.
The first week of school was very fulfilling for Fang Yuan.
A high school student juggling school and rushing to complete a paper was quite rare.
At school, Fang Yuan's biggest gain was a series of teaching content on basic Trainer skills.
Although every Trainer would do these skills, Fang Yuan realized after systematic study that there was a significant difference between scientific learning and completely self-taught methods.
It had only been a week, but Fang Yuan already had a deep understanding of this.
Friday, four o'clock in the afternoon.
Peaceful City First High School dismissed students very early, even for Senior Year students.
Boarding students went home, and day students also went home, waiting for either a two-day holiday or two days of extra classes.
Anyway, Fang Yuan definitely couldn't escape extra classes on Saturdays and Sundays...
Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, and Liu Le, who participated in the New Star Plan, attended normal classes from Monday to Friday, following the school's progress, while on Saturdays and Sundays, they needed to go to the Trainer Association to receive additional training.
Fang Yuan wasn't averse to this kind of extra class, which was similar to a cram school.
It wasn't that he liked extra classes, but mainly what kind of extra classes they were.
If it were a math tutoring class, Fang Yuan would definitely have a headache, but if it were tutoring in battling, Fang Yuan had no reason to refuse.
...
"Whew!"
As usual, Fang Yuan turned on the computer as soon as he got home.
If nothing went wrong, he could officially submit his paper today.
Fang Yuan planned to submit this paper on the discovery of a new Ability to the Pokémon Home journal.
Pokémon Home was a relatively comprehensive publication, issued once a week.
Although it wasn't the journal that best reflected the academic level of the discipline in the Pokémon academic world, its audience was definitely the widest, its threshold was the lowest, and its content was very inclusive, making it very suitable for newbies like Fang Yuan.
After spending some more time, Fang Yuan moved slightly, then stared carefully at the screen.
He entered the Pokémon Home Official Website, logged into his author account, and entered the submission system.
Fang Yuan once again confirmed the layout and format of the paper according to the requirements of the journal. Then, he clicked "Agree" on the copyright transfer agreement page.
After uploading the paper and filling in the manuscript information and author information, all that was left was to pay the Review Fee.
Regardless of whether the paper passed the review, Fang Yuan wouldn't get his Review Fee back. Because the threshold of the Pokémon Home journal was the lowest, its Review Fee was particularly expensive, in order to prevent malicious spamming.
After paying the money, Fang Yuan finally submitted the paper, and the manuscript status was displayed as "New Submission Received."
But obviously, his submission as a newbie would probably not be accepted by the editorial department until a few days later.
Over the next two months, Fang Yuan's submission would undergo multiple reviews... He just needed to keep an eye on it.
...
After finishing the thesis,
Fang Yuan planned to relax for a rare half-day off.
Eevee was binge-watching dramas, and he, of course, wanted to unwind as well. Since transmigrating to this world, Fang Yuan had given up many leisure activities, such as anime, games, and novels... focusing wholeheartedly on the Trainer profession.
However, just as Fang Yuan was about to rest, a phone call interrupted him...
The caller was Father Fang.
"Hey, son, are you home yet?"
"I'm home."
"Check the drawer in my room, is my ID card in there?"
Fang Yuan went to check and replied, "It's here."
"Ah, sure enough, I need it now. Can you bring it over for me?"
Deliver the ID card?
Ah...
My wonderful half-day... no, less than half-day vacation.
Fang Yuan clutched his chest and helplessly replied, "Okay, send me the location, I'll take a taxi over there."
After hanging up, the location was quickly sent, a power plant in the suburbs, a fifteen-minute taxi ride away.
This power plant was originally built to supply power to the Maglev Train, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. Later, some external factors led to its abandonment, and it became the place where Father Fang's company raised Electric-type Pokémon.
The Electric-type Pokémon here are mainly Magnemite and Voltorb. They feed on electricity, and after growing to a certain extent, they are transported to other positions within the company to participate in work.
Fang Yuan also heard that some electricians who perform special tasks are assigned Electric-type Pokémon, and their Trainer identities are registered by the company.
In addition, if employees within the company have children who are college student Trainers and have a need for Electric-type Pokémon, this type of power plant has often given away Pokémon as gifts.
However, Trainers nowadays are used to buying Pokémon and Pokémon Eggs carefully cultivated by Breeders from Breeding Houses. They are not very interested in Pokémon raised on a large scale by companies. They don't care even if they are given away for free, believing that they are no different from wild Pokémon, with low potential, poor talent, and stunted growth.
Among wild Pokémon, perhaps only the leaders of Pokémon clans in Secret Realms and dangerous places, the overlords of Pokémon groups, or some Shiny Pokémon can attract the attention of these Trainers.
It's like ordinary people pursuing "brand names." Low-level wild Pokémon and Pokémon raised on a large scale are not valued.
The Pokémon cultivated by Breeders in those Breeding Houses are the hot commodities for Trainers.
After packing the ID card, Fang Yuan called a taxi and then came to his bedroom door, deliberately knocking.
At this time, Eevee was still lying on the bed binge-watching dramas.
"Eevee."
"Eevee?"
"Eevee..."
"Eevee!"
Fang Yuan called out four times in a row before Eevee reluctantly raised its head.
"Eevee..." Eevee reluctantly pressed the pause button and looked at Fang Yuan.
It had a bad feeling, so it didn't really want to talk to Fang Yuan right now.
"I'm going out for a bit, do you want to come have fun with me?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Eevee..."
Eevee shook its head violently and wrapped the Silk Scarf tighter around itself.
It wasn't tempted in the slightest.
Faced with Eevee's answer, Fang Yuan could only say he had mixed feelings.
Stare...
Fang Yuan continued to stare at Eevee.
After about half a minute, Eevee helplessly ran over.
"That's more like it."
Fang Yuan chuckled, picking up Eevee and placing it on his shoulder.
"Ee-heh~~"
Eevee rolled its eyes, stuck its tongue out at Fang Yuan, and couldn't do anything about Fang Yuan's antics. It was just a trip out, and he still wanted it to come along.
...
Soon, the taxi arrived. After getting in the car, Fang Yuan and Eevee arrived near the Power Plant.
After calling Father Fang again, Fang Yuan and Eevee walked inside
