Ye Yinchuan looked at the majestic brown Tyrannosaurus Rex in the holographic projection and a smile appeared on his lips.
Following his instructions, the researchers quickly added the fluffy white mane and orange horns to the model's head and tail.
In an instant, the image of the Tyrannosaurus Rex became more complete, and even more ferocious and domineering. An aura of ancient kingship seemed to leap off the screen and assault our senses!
"It's so...so cool!" The researcher in charge of operating it was overwhelmed with excitement as he looked at his masterpiece. "Mr. Kirby, what's its name?"
"Its initial form can be called a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex." — Ye Yinchuan's voice.
"And when it evolves, it will become the true Pokémon Overlord, Tyranitar."
"Like the ichthyosaur, it also possesses powerful jaws." Any biting attack receives a devastating amplification in its mouth. In ancient times, it was the undisputed ruler of the land; its massive jaws could even crush thick steel plates like paper!
"I call the baby Tyrannosaurus Rex a 'Young King Pokémon,' meaning a dominant force that hasn't yet matured, because such Pokémon are born to occupy a dominant position in the food chain!"
Monsterjaw Dragon!
A powerful jaw!
Land Overlord!
Young King Pokémon!
Every keyword got the viewers in the live stream excited!
[Monsterjaw Dragon! That name alone sounds like a formidable creature!]
[A powerful jaw! Another powerful jaw! These ancient Pokémon are all about bite force!]
[Baby Tyrannosaurus Rex is such a hilarious name, but being born a tyrant is just too awesome!]
With the final image of the Tyrannosaurus rex confirmed, Ye Yinchuan's "guidance work" at the Fossil Research Institute has temporarily come to an end.
From pterosaurs to snow dragons, then to cephalopods, ankylosaurs, archaeopteryx, and finally monstrous dinosaurs.
In just one afternoon, Ye Yinchuan single-handedly revived several fossil projects that had been deemed "discarded" by the research institute. He even added several unprecedentedly brilliant names to the atlas of Pokémon paleontology.
Throughout the entire research institute, from Professor Ji Miaomiao down to every ordinary researcher, the way they looked at Ye Yinchuan had evolved from initial respect to near-fanatical worship.
However, Ye Yinchuan did not stop.
He seemed completely unconcerned about his "achievements" and continued to stroll through this vast treasure trove of fossils with great interest.
His gaze was quickly drawn to a scene in the corner.
There.
A very young-looking researcher wearing thick-rimmed black glasses was squatting on the ground, muttering to himself over a pile of scattered fossil fragments.
Four different types of fossils were placed in front of him.
One type is the "bird fossil" that resembles a bird.
One type is the "dragon fossil" that resembles a small dinosaur.
One type is the "sea mammal fossil," which exudes a chilling aura, like an ice cube.
The last type is the same "fish fossil" used when reviving the ichthyosaur.
The young researcher seemed completely absorbed in his own world.
He would pick up the "bird fossil" and try to piece it onto the lower half of the "dragon fossil," then pick up the "sea beast fossil" and compare it with the "fish fossil," muttering to himself, his expression sometimes troubled, sometimes showing a strange smile of sudden realization.
"What are you doing?" Ye Yinchuan's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
The young researcher was startled and turned around abruptly. Seeing it was Ye Yinchuan, his face instantly turned bright red, and he scrambled to his feet, stammering, "K--Mr. Kirby! I—--"
He subconsciously wanted to hide his "haphazardly pieced-together" results.
In his view, his attempts were nothing short of showing off his limited skills in front of a master like Ye Yinchuan; they were clumsy imitations.
The viewers in the live stream also noticed this scene.
[A bird fossil attached to a dragon fossil? This method of assembly seems vaguely familiar.]
[Are you slacking off? Haha!]
"Don't be nervous." Ye Yinchuan's expression was gentle. "I think I just saw you piecing together fossils. It seems you have some ideas?"
His gaze fell on the assembly that the researcher had just pieced together.
The upper body of a bird, the lower body of a dragon.
Upon seeing this combination, Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a slight smile.
Encouraged by Ye Yinchuan, the young researcher relaxed a little. He scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mr. Kirby, I—I got a little inspiration from your idea of reviving the ichthyosaur."
"A combination of 'Gillfish-like ichthyosaur,' a fossil of a fish, and a fossil of a dragon. I was wondering, if that's the case, could other fossils also be combined in similar ways?"
As he spoke, he carefully picked up the "bird head and dragon tail" combination.
"For example, this one: the upper body of a bird, the lower body of a dragon. Although it looks strange, their gene fragments actually show a faint resonance at a certain point!"
"And this one!" He pointed to another set of pieces, "The upper body of a bird and the lower body of a sea monster! Their attributes are flight and ice, seemingly unrelated, but when pieced together, they seem to have a strange sense of harmony."
"And finally this one—" He pointed to the last combination, his voice trailing off, even he himself found it a bit absurd, "The upper body of a fish, and the lower body of a sea monster—this combination, with the upper body being water and the lower body being ice, seems the most logical, but the genetic rejection reaction is actually the strongest—"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yinchuan nervously, awaiting his "judgment".
He was prepared to be criticized for being "out of touch" and "disrespectful of science".
Although the Gilling-Draconis is quite outrageous, that was the work of a master; what I'm doing is somewhat absurd.
However, Ye Yinchuan nodded slowly.
"Your idea is very good."
"I originally planned to announce it later, but I didn't expect someone to beat me to it—I can tell you definitively that all three of your guesses are correct."
boom-!!!!
The young researcher froze on the spot, his mind blank.
The researchers around him were also completely bewildered.
The live stream chat exploded with comments!
【What did I just hear? Is it all correct?】
[Seriously, streamer?! A bird's head, a dragon's legs? How can that possibly live?!]
[And what is this thing—the upper body of a bird, the lower body of a sea creature? One flies in the sky, the other swims in the water—what kind of creature is this combination? An amphibious bird?]
[I've gone mad, this world has truly gone mad! Fossil Pokémon, so it's just a puzzle game! You can put them back together and restore them, right?]
Faced with everyone's shock, Ye Yinchuan's expression was complicated.
He walked up to the three sets of "Frankenstein's monsters," his voice becoming somewhat low.
"They can indeed be resurrected."
He first pointed to the "bird head and dragon tail" combination.
"This Pokémon is called Thunderbird, and its type is Electric/Dragon."
"Its upper body has the ability to generate electricity. And its lower body has powerful legs."
"When combined, it runs extremely fast, making it an invincible power in ancient times."
"But the plants it depended on for survival were eaten to extinction, and it went extinct with them. Even if it were to be resurrected, it might not be able to adapt to the current food."
[Huh? Because you ran too fast, you ate too fast?]
Could it be because the energy consumption is too high?
Ye Yinchuan's gaze then shifted to the second group.
The upper body of a bird, the lower body of a sea monster.
"And this one is called the 'Thunderbird Sea Beast,' and its attributes are electric and ice."
"Its upper body is the same as the Thunderbird Dragon's. Its lower body, however, is that of a sea monster."
"This combination is even more contradictory than the Thunderbird Dragon."
Ye Yinchuan's voice carried a hint of amusement, "Its upper body cannot adapt to the cold, but its lower body must live in an extremely cold environment. Therefore, it is always shivering, and even has a runny nose from the cold."
"It cannot adapt to the cold, yet it cannot live without it. This eternal contradiction is its destiny."
Does such a creature really exist?
No wonder it went extinct; it's truly bizarre. Perhaps it's best not to revive it.
[By the way, why do the Thunderbird Dragon and the Thunderbird Sea Beast have the same upper body? Are they related?]
Ye Yinchuan didn't explain much about the comments, he just pushed the pace forward.
Finally, his gaze fell on the combination of "fish head and sea beast body".
"As for this last one, the 'Gillfish Sea Beast,' its element is water and ice."
"Its upper body looks exactly like a ichthyosaur. Its lower body, however, is like a thunderbird sea monster."
"Its face is on top of its head."
Ye Yinchuan's description is simple, yet full of vivid imagery.
"So it has to turn its head upside down to eat. But because its head is so heavy, it moves very slowly and often goes hungry as a result."
"It possesses a powerful bite, but due to structural flaws, it struggles to hunt."
Thunderbird Dragon, Thunderbird Sea Monster, Gilling Fish Sea Monster.
When Ye Yinchuan described the three fossils pieced together, the corresponding Pokémon, and mentioned their fatal flaws, or the possible reasons for their extinction.
The entire research institute fell silent.
"Mr. Kirby————"
The researcher's voice was somewhat husky, "Do these Pokémon actually exist?"
-
This question reflects the sentiments of everyone.
Ye Yinchuan simply reiterated his argument: "Like the Dracovish, it may have been a Pokémon created by some mad scholar in ancient times in some way, which later became extinct and became fossils—I think this is a more reasonable explanation."
"Or perhaps, the world itself contains all sorts of coincidences and bugs. Maybe they all came into being naturally, but we just can't imagine that the reason they look so similar is due to some kind of convergent evolution?"
"Although they are full of contradictions and flaws, their power is undeniable."
"Whether it's the Thunderbird Dragon's running and power generation abilities, or the Gilling Sea Beast's size and freezing abilities, they can produce unexpected results in battle."
These words resonated deeply.
All the researchers wore thoughtful expressions.
This also allowed viewers in the live stream to gain a more comprehensive understanding of these Pokémon.
Night falls.
Ye Yinchuan's live stream at the Donghua Pokémon Fossil Research Institute is finally coming to an end.
To express her gratitude for Ye Yinchuan's groundbreaking contributions to the entire research institute and even the entire Chinese Pokémon academic community, Professor Ji Miaomiao hosted a banquet for him at the highest level of the institute's hospitality.
The banquet was held in the eco-restaurant inside the research institute.
The restaurant's design is ingenious, with a huge floor-to-ceiling glass wall leading to an ecological park that simulates an ancient environment.
Under the gentle light, you can see some restored images of ancient Pokémon, which are holographic projections.
Even more impressively, real Pokémon, like Dracovish, that have been resurrected, are being showcased.
The dining table was filled with unique Pokémon dishes, such as Slowpoke's tail and the claws dropped by the Shrimp and Crab Pokémon—all delicious treats that could be enjoyed without killing the Pokémon.
"Mr. Snorlax, on behalf of the Donghua Pokémon Fossil Research Institute and paleontologists across China, I raise a glass to you!"
Professor Ji Miaomiao stood up, raised her wine glass, her face flushed, and looked quite spirited.
"Your guidance today is worth more than ten years of hard work! You have not just opened a door for us, but the beginning of a completely new era!"
"That's right! Respect to Mr. Kirby!"
"Mr. Kirby, from now on you will be our institute's honorary advisor for life!"
The researchers present all stood up and raised their glasses in agreement.
Warm atmosphere.
Ye Yinchuan smiled calmly, raised his glass to the crowd, and drank it all in one gulp.
After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.
Professor Ji Miaomiao solemnly took an exquisite velvet box from her assistant and walked up to Ye Yinchuan.
"Mr. Kirby, words cannot express our gratitude."
She opened the box, and inside lay a simple yet exquisitely designed badge.
The badge was made entirely of an unknown dark brown metal, and it felt cool to the touch, with a heavy weight to it.
Its shape is not the traditional round or square, but rather the shape of a lifelike ammonite fossil!
The spiral pattern is clearly visible, as if it has condensed billions of years of time.
"This is a commemorative badge of the highest honor, the 'Chrysanthemum of Time,' specially made for you by our research institute."
Professor Ji Miaomiao's voice was extremely solemn.
"It has no competitive significance; it's just a commemorative medal."
"But this badge also represents our institute's highest recognition of you. From now on, as long as you hold this badge, you can access any resources within our institute's authorized scope and consult any information that is not publicly available."
Ye Yinchuan looked at the "Chrysanthemum of Time" badge, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
He accepted the gift without hesitation.
Thank you.

He put away the badge and gave a slight nod to Professor Ji Miaomiao and all the researchers.
