"Everyone knows that Eevee's unstable genes allow for a wide variety of evolutions. Its irregularly shaped genes are easily influenced by its surroundings, leading to evolution when the environment changes."
"Currently, the discovered Eevee evolutions include Flareon, which evolves with a Fire Stone; Vaporeon with a Water Stone, Jolteon with a Thunder Stone, Leafeon with a Leaf Stone, and Glaceon with an Ice Stone."
"What if I told you there are other ways for Eevee to evolve? Would Director Yan be interested?"
Mu Qingzhu asked.
"Good, good, good! Indeed, the younger generation surpasses the older! How do you want to cooperate?"
Director Yan said excitedly.
When Mu Qingzhu heard Director Yan's words, she thought of her newly established company, which currently lacked technical personnel. So, Mu Qingzhu said to Director Yan:
"Director Yan~"
Mu Qingzhu was about to speak when Director Yan interrupted her.
"Why call me Director? Your father and I are old classmates and good friends. Call me Uncle Yan from now on."
"Understood, Uncle Yan."
Mu Qingzhu replied.
"Uncle Yan, I previously bought a building in the suburbs and plan to establish a company. I haven't found any Researchers yet. Would Uncle Yan consider bringing all the Researchers from your institute to join my company?"
"Your ambition isn't small, setting up a company already. First, tell me what your company mainly does."
Yan Ming said.
"Our main revenue will come from Fossil Revival Technology and some rare evolution items."
"The specifics can be discussed after we open."
Mu Qingzhu replied.
"Then joining your company can be discussed later."
"First, tell me about the other ways Eevee can evolve."
Yan Ming said with a smile.
"You can raise three Eevee. Play with them daily, and you can let them eat some Algoroot Berries appropriately. Let one Eevee evolve during the day, and another at night."
"For the last Eevee, teach it a Fairy-type move."
"Algoroot Berries can increase friendship. I call this evolution method 'Friendship Evolution'."
Mu Qingzhu said.
Afterward, Mu Qingzhu and Yan Ming continued to discuss some details, and then Yan Ming left first.
Xia Bing and Bai Ou walked over and asked Mu Qingzhu:
"You've been secretly doing a lot of things lately, haven't you?"
After some explanation, Mu Qingzhu managed to persuade Xia Bing and Bai Ou.
Bai Ou suddenly remembered something and said:
"The middle school exam results will be out in a few days. Have you considered which high school to apply to?"
"Definitely Qianzhou No. 1 High School."
Xia Bing replied first. "What about you two?"
Mu Qingzhu and Bai Ou looked at each other and said.
"Of course, Qianzhou No. 1 High School too."
The three then greeted Yan Ming and left the institute. On their way home, the three chatted enthusiastically about their aspirations for the future.

As time passed, the middle school exam results were released. The three gathered at Xia Bing's house to check their scores together.
Xia Bing's results were checked first. After she entered her examination ticket number and password, the scores appeared: Theoretical Exam: 130, Practical Exam: 100, Total: 230.
The maximum score for the Theoretical Exam was 150, for the Practical Exam 150, making the total 300. Xia Bing's score of 230 would rank her around the top 30 in Qian Prefecture.
Next, Bai Ou's scores were checked: Theoretical Exam: 135, Practical Exam: 100, Total: 235.
Finally, Mu Qingzhu's scores were checked: Theoretical Exam: 150, Practical Exam: 150, Total: 300.
Upon seeing Mu Qingzhu's scores, Xia Bing and Bai Ou excitedly said:
"Qingzhu, if nothing goes wrong, you should be the Number One Scholar of the middle school exam."
"Be modest, be modest. It's just a small middle school exam Number One Scholar."
Mu Qingzhu said calmly.
Then, the three registered online together, all applying to Qianzhou No. 1 High School. They might receive their admission notices in a few days.
Bai Ou thought: "Our Pokémon should be reaching the Normal-level soon. How about we go to the black market tonight to see if there are any suitable items for our Pokémon?"
"That's right. After high school, besides theoretical knowledge, the most important thing is Pokémon training. That will affect our ranking and the resources allocated for our studies."
Xia Bing also said.
Mu Qingzhu didn't reply, thinking, 'As for items, Ralts and Snivy both have S-rank items, and Zorua, not to mention, carries Arceus's Slate.'
Seeing Mu Qingzhu silent, Xia Bing asked: "Qingzhu, what are you thinking about? Do you want to go to the black market tonight?"
Mu Qingzhu thought about it and decided to go, to see if she could find any overlooked treasures. "Yes, of course, I'll go."
The three decided to go in the evening, and then Mu Qingzhu and Bai Ou left Xia Bing's house.

Upon returning home, Mu Qingzhu eagerly opened the system, checked her tasks, and submitted them.
[Ding~ Host detected as the Number One Scholar in the middle school exam. Reward: System Points × 10,000, Unknown Pokémon Egg × 1, dragon coin × 10,000,000, S-rank Attribute Evolution Stone Set × 1, Team Rockets Researcher × 10]
Mu Qingzhu remembered that the system also had a lottery function, so she opened the lottery page. It was divided into Beginner Prize Pool, Intermediate Prize Pool, and Advanced Prize Pool. The Beginner Prize Pool cost 10 points per draw, 90 points for ten draws. Items were up to B-rank, Pokémon potential up to Advanced, with a chance to get a Starter Pokémon; the Intermediate Prize Pool cost 100 points per draw, 900 points for ten draws. Items were up to A-rank, Pokémon potential up to Semi-Elite Four level, with a chance to get a Pseudo-legendary Pokémon; the Advanced Prize Pool cost 1000 points per draw, 9000 points for ten draws. Items were up to S-rank, with a chance to get a Legendary Pokémon item, Pokémon potential up to Champion-level, and a very small chance to get a Secondary Legendary Pokémon.
After looking at the prize pool descriptions, Mu Qingzhu found that her current points allowed her to draw 1 ten-pull and 2 single draws from the Advanced Prize Pool, and 12 ten-pulls and 2 single draws from the Intermediate Prize Pool. The rewards from the Beginner Prize Pool were not very appealing to her at the moment.
After some deliberation, Mu Qingzhu first spent 9000 points to draw 10 times from the Advanced Prize Pool.
As the prize pool was drawn, [Congratulations on obtaining Intermediate Psychic Power, A-rank Ice Gem × 1, Luxury Ball × 10, Ultra Ball × 20, advanced energy cube × 100, A-rank Flying Gem × 1, Potion × 50, Full Heal × 50, Super Potion × 20, Revive × 10]
Mu Qingzhu then merged the Intermediate Psychic Power and looked at her status panel:
