Just as Akimichi was contemplating his future, his golden finger came online. Yes, as a time traveler, how could he not have a golden finger? And this cheat code is a system, a system that allows the cultivation of Pokémon like genetic creatures! The rules of this system are simple: it sells Pokémon. The more Pokémon you sell, the more you can cultivate. Essentially, for each Pokémon sold, Akimichi could obtain the cultivation seeds for two Pokémon. However, there's a catch — it's selling. You can't gift them. Of course, Akimichi can still give Pokémon to others, but when doing so, no Pokémon gene seeds are rewarded!
As for the pricing, there are no fixed rules within the system. This means Akimichi can decide how much to sell the Pokémon for, based on his preferences. Every time he trains a Pokémon, the system provides the necessary growth medium for the Pokémon, but only for Pokémon. It does not work for other genetic creatures. Interestingly, the Pokémon cultivated with this medium have a very low mortality rate, and their genetic structure is incredibly stable. So, aside from a few special Pokémon, most Pokémon qualify for cultivation. In other words, the cost of raising a Pokémon is quite low, requiring only a culture tank.
This gave Akimichi the confidence to take on the genetic biology market using price wars. However, considering the strength of Pokémon compared to the genetic organisms of this world, Akimichi might not even need to engage in price wars! But he didn't want to sell Pokémon for too high a price. If the price were set too high, there would be fewer sales, and the number of gene seeds obtained from the system depends on the number of Pokémon sold. Therefore, selling Pokémon at a reasonable price was key. Additionally, Akimichi didn't want to sell them too cheaply. If the price were set too low, the quality of the Pokémon would decrease, and buyers would not appreciate them, leading to potential abuse.
The system had provided Akimichi with a huge gift pack as a welcome present. From this gift pack, he received one Pokémon, Pikachu! Pikachu was a special Pokémon, as it was capable of facing any opponent on equal terms. In fact, it could even fight Arceus, the creator god, and possibly win with a Thunderbolt! Along with Pikachu, Akimichi was given four Pichu gene seeds and the necessary growth medium for them. However, there was a rule: Akimichi needed to sell 100 Pichu before he could unlock new Pokémon. This was a part of the system's mechanics, and it was an obstacle that would need to be overcome to progress further.
The system also stated that it doesn't issue tasks frequently. There might only be one task per year, and completing such tasks could unlock new Pokémon. Additionally, the system granted Akimichi a special physique that would make him immune to any damage caused by Pokémon. This was a valuable feature, as it would allow him to interact with the creatures without the risk of harm.
Akimichi was thrilled to have the system. Not only did he now possess Pikachu, but he also had access to a powerful Pokémon that could rival any other. Pikachu, with its impressive abilities, could even defeat powerful Pokémon like Arceus, the god of Pokémon. This was no ordinary creature. With the system's gift, Akimichi could finally begin using the four damaged culture tanks he had repaired earlier. These tanks were now functional, and they allowed him to cultivate the four Pichu gene seeds.
Time passed, and Akimichi continued his training while helping his second grandfather learn how to farm. In addition, he spent time bonding with Pikachu and communicating with it. He was also attentive to the development of the four Pichus. Once the Pichu were fully trained, Akimichi planned to take them to the genetic biology inspection station in the nearby city to obtain their conformity certificates. Afterward, he would find suitable owners for the Pichus and sell them.
Akimichi was determined to be careful about whom he sold the Pokémon to. He didn't want to sell them to people who might neglect or mistreat them. His first priority was to ensure that the Pokémon went to good homes where they would be appreciated and cared for.
Meanwhile, Pikachu had become quite popular in the village. It had established itself as a local mascot, and every day, it would visit different homes to gather snacks. The villagers adored the little creature, and some of them even wondered where Akimichi had obtained such a genetically modified organism. Akimichi, however, calmly explained that he had created it himself. Given that Akimichi had introduced himself as a college graduate with a major in genetic biology and two years of experience in genetic biomanufacturing, the villagers had no reason to doubt him. In their eyes, a college graduate was capable of anything, including developing a genetically modified organism.
About a month later, Akimichi's second grandfather rushed over to inform him that a program called Longing for Life was coming to film a show in their village. At the time, Akimichi was still absent, but his second grandfather had taken the initiative to rent out one of his two houses to the program's crew. Akimichi didn't mind this decision, as the house belonged to his second grandfather anyway, and it was perfectly fine for him to rent it out.
His second grandfather offered the money earned from the rental to Akimichi, but Akimichi, despite his current financial difficulties, could not accept the money. He simply felt it was wrong to take it. He didn't feel comfortable receiving money for something that didn't belong to him.
