Fang Yuan was always short on money.
After receiving the Little Phoenix King Cup bonus, Fang Yuan was much better off, but money was never enough.
A mere 100,000 yuan wasn't even enough for Eevee's expenses.
If Fang Yuan were to capture new Pokémon in the future, he definitely wouldn't be able to afford to train them with his current financial situation.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had already found a way to make money that suited him.
That was, as mentioned before, publishing papers and earning manuscript fees!
Of course, the content of the paper had to be suitable.
He definitely couldn't touch topics like Eevee's evolutionary forms right now.
Because Fang Yuan didn't have enough evidence to support his views, he wouldn't do such a thankless thing, no matter how tempting the reward money was.
In the end, not only would he not get the money, but he would also cause a stir.
However, Fang Yuan felt that he could try other aspects of the paper.
It wasn't uncommon for high school students to publish papers.
Other people's main purpose was to participate in independent enrollment.
But Fang Yuan was very vulgar, his purpose was to get manuscript fees.
If he could also gain some reputation and be exceptionally admitted by those prestigious schools, that would naturally be even better.
Unlike the previous Earth, here, due to the emergence of Secret Realms, Pokémon-related papers were very popular and had huge benefits.
Because the time Pokémon had been integrated into people's lives was too short, and their status was important, scholars who studied Pokémon far outnumbered scholars in other disciplines.
In addition, there was a very important point: the state had many support policies for Pokémon-related papers.
Especially in terms of manuscript fees, papers in other disciplines might not make money, or even cost money, but academic papers related to Pokémon, no matter how insignificant their value, could get a good reward as long as they were approved.
Fang Yuan planned to publish a paper on Eevee's Anticipation Ability to test the waters.
Apart from some common and easily identifiable Abilities, such as Overgrow and Blaze, the research on other Abilities was not very extensive.
A large number of Pokémon Abilities were blank, just like Eevee's Anticipation Ability. Probably no one would think this was a special ability, but would think that Eevee's personality was naturally timid.
If Fang Yuan could publish a paper and conduct a full demonstration to prove that Eevee had the special ability of Anticipation, he could get a large manuscript fee.
Take the most famous Pokémon Home journal in China as an example.
According to the manuscript fees in the past, new Abilities involving Pokémon would have different manuscript fees depending on the actual value, but the minimum was 50,000 yuan.
The harvest of one or two papers could be equivalent to the bonus of a Little Phoenix King Cup.
"If this road can continue, I will be able to earn resources through my own ability."
"With the main profession being a Pokémon Trainer, and the sub-profession being a Pokémon researcher, I can fully utilize the information gap in my mind. If the information is hidden in my head, it will be forgotten one day, and as the outside world's research on Pokémon becomes more and more in-depth, the value of this information will become lower and lower. It's better to start from the side and exchange the information that can be converted into resources for real money."
"Some unimportant information, even if it is hidden in the head, has no practical value to oneself."
This was Fang Yuan's idea. At first, he didn't know how to turn the information gap into cash, but after contacting several Pokémon journals and reading papers published by college students, high school students, and even folk Trainers, Fang Yuan suddenly realized.
These papers were all sorts of strange. Some researched the Pokémon's growls, some researched the Pokémon's sleeping habits. Even these niche papers could get paid, so he was fully capable of earning royalties as well.
As long as he selectively chose some content that he could access and write a complete argumentation process for, there would be no need to be suspected about the source of this information.
Take the Pokémon's Ability and evolution methods, for example.
Others explore first, then summarize the results and publish them.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, knows the results first, and then explores and summarizes.
Two completely different processes can save Fang Yuan a lot of detours. It can be said that compared to a Pokémon Trainer, Fang Yuan is more suitable to be a Pokémon researcher.
Fang Yuan started preparing the research paper on Eevee's Anticipation Ability after returning from the Little Phoenix King Cup.
He was worried that Eevee's performance in the Little Phoenix King Cup would be noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
After all, it was too abnormal for an Eevee that was only two months old to have such a reaction speed.
If someone else publishes a related paper first, Fang Yuan would have nowhere to cry, which is equivalent to losing at least 50,000 yuan for nothing.
Moreover, he didn't need to hide Eevee's Ability as a secret, because after evolution, Eevee's Ability will change.
Unless, Eevee evolves into Espeon, in which case, the Anticipation Ability might be retained to some extent.
Because Espeon also has a natural precognitive ability.
In the game, there is such a description: Espeon is extremely loyal to the Trainer it recognizes. It is said that in order to protect the Trainer's safety, its precognitive ability becomes very developed. Therefore, if he doesn't want to abandon the Anticipation Ability that Eevee has developed, Espeon is definitely Fang Yuan's first choice.
In reality, since this Eevee evolution form, Espeon, has not been discovered, the Anticipation Ability will definitely not cause too much reaction.
Since it's not particularly valuable information, it's better to turn it into tangible benefits.
Fang Yuan didn't think that hiding an Anticipation Ability would make Eevee invincible.
However, because Fang Yuan was contacting papers for the first time, he didn't know the specific writing style, format, or even argumentation methods, so he completely started learning from scratch.
In addition, he also needed to test some data with Eevee, which took him about a week to make it look a little decent.
But formal submission... it is estimated that he will have to wait a few more days, he has to improve it again.
Mainly because the review time is too long, as short as a few days, and as long as several months, he really can't stand the torment.
...
The next day.
Fang Yuan, who had to write papers and homework, came to the classroom with drowsiness.
He didn't sleep until nearly twelve o'clock yesterday, and he didn't have much time to rest at all.
I'll go to the Clubroom Classroom to catch up on sleep during the morning run...
Fang Yuan yawned and casually took out a textbook, intending to start reading in the morning, but just then, Fang Yuan suddenly heard someone calling him outside.
He took a look and found that it was Liu Le.
"Boss, someone asked me for help."
Fang Yuan walked out, and Liu Le said excitedly.
"What do you mean?"
"It's about the Psychology Club. Yesterday, after I finished posting the club's promotional posters as you instructed, this morning a girl from our class came to me, wanting to ask our club for help..."
It's only the second day of school, and someone is already seeking help from the Psychology Club?! Fang Yuan showed an interested expression and said, "What's it about?"
