"I call it Beauty God Perfume; it's a kind of Pokemon beauty product. It's a derivative of the massive Energy Blocks. Compared to Energy Blocks, its nutritional value is reduced, but its effect on enhancing beauty degree is even better... The effect... might be comparable to plastic surgery. With multiple uses, it can make a Pokemon who looks ordinary to its peers suddenly become highly sought after," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
The value of Energy Blocks is certainly higher, but it's not time to show all of their value yet. Let's first shock the Spirit Academic World with Beauty God Perfume.
Just from the effects Fang Yuan described, the value of Beauty God Perfume could completely surpass any other Pokemon perfume on the market. The benefits involved are enormous.
"But what I value most is not this. Next, please join me in witnessing a miracle."
As Fang Yuan spoke, the staff, following his instructions in advance, brought in six tanks. Just when everyone was extremely puzzled, Fang Yuan released six Pokemon into the tanks.
Six rough and extremely ugly Ugly Fish appeared before everyone, sparking a new round of discussion.
"What's he trying to do?"
"Is he trying to say that even Ugly Fish can become very beautiful with Beauty God Perfume?"
"Now that you mention it, it's quite interesting. Could it really make a Blastoise chase after an Ugly Fish? Hahaha..."
"Wait a second..."
As the conversation went on, after a while, someone realized something and their expression froze.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan also responded to everyone's expectations by first testing the beauty degree of the six Ugly Fish with the Beauty Value Detection Device.
"The beauty degree of the six Ugly Fish is pink, which proves that beauty degree is not just about appearance. The most important thing is the Mental Energy field. And Beauty God Perfume can further enhance the Ugly Fish's beauty degree from the base of pink, reaching red," Fang Yuan explained.
As Fang Yuan finished speaking, the six Ugly Fish looked forward with anticipation.
[As agreed, I have taken you out of the breeding house and given you new lives.]
Fang Yuan smiled and began using the Beauty God Perfume. These six Ugly Fish were some with the best talents and highest beauty degrees in the breeding house. Now, under Fang Yuan's brief cultivation, all had come close to the threshold of evolution...
Beauty God Perfume was their opportunity to evolve.
The power brought by the perfume slowly integrated into the bodies of the six Ugly Fish, dispersing within them, flitting between their souls...
The wave motion of the beauty degree detection device also changed at this moment. Pink gradually shifted to red, and as everyone watched this scene, they all felt differently. Some had guesses, while others were still in the dark, watching the spectacle.
But then.
As a white light flickered on one of the Ugly Fish, the Evolution Light spread over its entire body, those who were watching the spectacle immediately opened their mouths in awe, and the venue fell silent in an instant.
Under the wrapping of the white Evolution Light, the first Ugly Fish's rough body changed rapidly, growing swiftly.
A Pokemon that resembled a sea serpent with a creamy beautiful body and a noble expression emerged from the tank during the evolution, floating in the air.
This was just the beginning; the six Ugly Fish almost successively displayed the Evolution Light, six Pokemon evolving together!!
Under the shocked gaze of everyone, six beams of light transformed, and the previously extremely ugly Ugly Fish gradually turned into stunningly beautiful Milotics.
The creamy charming bodies made the Milotics look exceedingly noble... The red eyes... gave Milotics a unique temperament.
The red fin-like hair on either side of their heads and the red "eyebrows" that extended from above their eyes to the outer skin added an elegant touch to their nobility.
Fang Yuan spread his arms, countless sparkling water droplets flew up, and he too, with an excited expression. Behind him, the six Milotics floated, issuing their ethereal growls in celebration, as if thanking Fang Yuan.
"As everyone can see, the accumulation of beauty degree is the natural evolutionary condition for Pokemon like Ugly Fish!"
"When the beauty degree of an Ugly Fish is heightened to a standard, it possesses the opportunity to evolve!"
"Perhaps... it is not just Ugly Fish; countless other unknown Pokemon might have beauty degree as their evolutionary condition. But this requires more exploration by others."
As Fang Yuan finished speaking and the six stunningly beautiful Milotics appeared on the field, the atmosphere at the venue reached a climax!
Innumerable researchers, breeders, and entrepreneurs exclaimed in amazement. Pokemon evolving together was an extremely shocking event, no matter where it occurred.
And the occurrence of such an event on an Ugly Fish was even more inconceivable.
Countless burning gazes fell upon Milotic, upon Fang Yuan, and upon the Beauty God Perfume.
Ever since Fang Yuan proposed the concept of Beauty Degree, launched the Energy Blocks, introduced the Beauty God Perfume, announced that the Beauty Degree was the natural evolution condition for Ugly Fish, and speculated that it might be the evolution condition for many more unknown Pokemon, countless people had simultaneously stood up.
If before everyone had scoffed at the concept of Beauty Degree, now they no longer doubted it—this was an astonishing discovery that could shake the Spirit Academic World.
"So that's how it is... Beauty Degree... Beauty Degree... I think, the academic world is about to experience an earthquake."
"Fang Yuan ah, he is an incredible researcher," someone remarked.
Doctor Aidan stood up, silently observing the six Milotic, wondering if the Beauty Degree could evolve other Pokemon as well?
The question that Fang Yuan posed was a good one.
However, Fang Yuan knew that it probably wasn't possible.
But that didn't stop Fang Yuan from blustering, after all, being a master of deception wasn't for nothing.
Not only did the concept elevate his stature, but who knows, maybe even the Glamour Contest Company's product sales might get a boost.
At the scene, everyone clearly understood the value of the several products from the Glamour Contest Company.
For this reason, many people looked at Fang Yuan with incredulous eyes.
This... was all researched and developed by him?
And, he's only 19 years old?
"Is this what a genius looks like?" Dr. Oddjob said with a somber expression.
[Rotom: Woo woo woo woo woo~~~~]
The other judges also turned their attention to the young man surrounded by Milotic, recalling another outstanding researcher from Hua Nation a few years ago, Xie Qingyi.
"Regarding Beauty Degree, I will publish related papers later. The content will include a deeper interpretation of this set of ideas and will also involve other Pokemon and items," said Fang Yuan.
"The Beauty Value Detection Device, Energy Blocks, and Beauty God Perfume are all the products that Glamour Contest Company wishes to showcase," he continued.
Fang Yuan did not mention the commercialization of the products, for the shock of six Ugly Fish evolving at the same time was overwhelming, and no one had the chance to ask any further questions as thunderous applause quickly engulfed the auditorium.
............
"Impressive!!" Professor Ye was incredibly excited, as if he had witnessed a new star rising slowly in the research domain of Hua Nation; after all, Fang Yuan was also his half-student!
He originally thought Fang Yuan would be nervous on stage, but he realized that he had underestimated Fang Yuan. What puzzled him though was that Fang Yuan really came just to showcase the products without revealing any commercial intentions.
However, even without disclosing, it was certain that numerous large corporations would seek out Fang Yuan after this, hoping to collaborate with him or even purchase the related patent technologies.
Indeed, right after the event at noon, Fang Yuan was immediately surrounded by many people. Fang Yuan didn't mind the hassle, but he didn't engage in deeper interactions—just collecting business cards, with the exception of a meaningful conversation with a beautiful lady with long black hair.
She was a reporter for an internationally influential news weekly. Fang Yuan left her with a remark,
"This is just the beginning. Glamour Contest Company will bring more miracles and significant research results that will truly impact the Elf Domain."
That same day, even before the Pokemon World Expo in the Asia region had concluded, the academic community was experiencing an earthquake due to Fang Yuan's views.
The entire proceedings of the conference spread quickly, and Fang Yuan's name once again appeared at the top of Hua Nation's trending searches. Those who previously thought Fang Yuan had exhausted his potential because he left mainstream research to study Pokemon Emotion Domain and had not produced any significant findings were now being dug up, whipped, and face-slapped fiercely.
The concept of Beauty Degree was the culmination of research into Pokemon's Emotional Energy of the Soul, and with this concept and research findings, some believed Fang Yuan deserved the title of Poke-mon Doctor.
However, it was only at this time that some people noticed... when had Fang Yuan become a senior researcher???
Hiss...
