Jiang Mo’s thesis, once published on the Researcher forum, instantly caused a huge stir.
The comment section below the post was quickly overwhelmed with various exclamations of awe.
“Wow, this Sylveon is too beautiful, how did the great master discover it?”
“666, Eevee has a new evolution, how many evolution directions does this Pokémon still have?”
“Affection evolution? No wonder the evolution of many Pokémon now cannot be explained by levels. This is a groundbreaking idea!”
“This Jiang Mo is truly a genius. I remember not long ago he researched a new type of Tree Fruit. When did such high-quality papers become publishable like short essays?!”
“Great masters are great masters. Compared to us small fries, they are on a different dimension.”
“I feel that Sylveon’s evolution requirements are still too dependent on affection. Are there any simple and strong Pokémon recommendations?”
“Yes, brother, there are. There are a total of nine such Pokémon…”
However, amidst the exclamations, there were also some voices of doubt.
“Could this be Photoshopped? I’ve never heard of a Sylveon before.”
“Affection evolution? Is there any scientific basis? It can’t be made up, can it?”
Facing these doubts, Jiang Mo did not rush to respond, because he believed that actions speak louder than words.
Soon, Dr. Ouyang published his proof below the thesis, elaborating on his understanding of Jiang Mo’s research process and the confirmation of Sylveon.
At the same time, Jiang Mo also displayed high-definition photos and videos of Sylveon one by one.
In an instant, all doubts vanished.
Those Researchers who were originally skeptical looked a bit embarrassed and quickly changed their tune to praise him.
“Jiang Mo, the great master, is indeed amazing! This research is too valuable!”
“Yes, as expected of Dr. Ouyang’s student, his research in the field of genetics is simply in a league of its own!”
“Once the concept of affection evolution is confirmed, it will be a major breakthrough in the field of Pokémon research.”
As the news spread, Jiang Mo’s research results also caused a huge reaction among the Pokémon Trainer community.
Eevee is not considered a rare Pokémon in this world; what is rare is the ite. An Eevee that cannot evolve without an ite can only forever be a baby that can only act cute.
For those civilian Trainers who cannot afford an ite, Jiang Mo’s Eevee affection evolution theory is undoubtedly a great piece of good news.
This means that Jiang Mo has opened a door to a new world for them, especially those civilian Trainers who own Eevee, becoming the biggest beneficiaries of Jiang Mo’s research results this time.
Many civilian Trainers with Eevee left messages on the forum to express their gratitude to Jiang Mo.
“Thanks to the great master’s research results, my Eevee finally has hope for evolution!”
“I used to think that Eevee could only evolve with an ite, but I didn’t expect there to be such an evolution method that doesn’t require an ite. I’m truly grateful!”
Jiang Mo’s fan base also increased sharply in a short period, and his personal account was filled with various praises and admiring messages.
Some Pokémon Trainers even spontaneously organized themselves and formed a fan club for Jiang Mo. They called themselves “Mo Bao” and actively promoted Jiang Mo’s research results on the forum, hoping that more people could understand and pay attention.
With the enthusiastic support of his fans, Jiang Mo did not become arrogant. He was somewhat amused by the fan club and the “Mo Bao” incident, not expecting to become famous outside his field because of these few papers.
At the same time, a few days later, Jiang Mo announced that he would work with Dr. Ouyang to begin collecting more data on the evolution conditions of Espeon and Umbreon.
They launched a collection activity on the forum, inviting Trainers to share their experiences with Eevee and Eevee’s performance in different environments.
Soon, a large amount of data and cases poured in like a tide.
Jiang Mo and Dr. Ouyang worked day and night to analyze and organize this data.
Under the joint efforts of Jiang Mo and Dr. Ouyang, more and more people began to pay attention to Eevee’s evolution research.
At the same time, Jiang Mo also asked Dr. Ouyang to find many Trainers with Pokémon such as Pichu, Golbat, Cleffa, and Igglybuff to act as volunteers, in order to study the conditions for affection evolution of other Pokémon.
Some scientific research institutions and enterprises, after learning about the situation, also extended olive branches to them, voluntarily acting as volunteers, hoping to cooperate with them to jointly promote this significant research.
On the other side, Jiang Mo also notified Dawn Company to prepare for corresponding advertising and promotion.
Once the affection evolution thesis was published, those Tree Fruit and energy cube that could increase affection would surely experience a surge in sales. This was another excellent opportunity for Dawn Company to seize market share and accumulate capital, and Jiang Mo would not let it go.
“Produced by Dawn, it must be a masterpiece!”
“When I was a child, I wanted to be a Trainer, and my grandparents were so happy, they sent me my favorite Dawn energy cube!”
“Mo Bao Exclusive Tree Fruit! Mom no longer has to worry about the affection between me and my Pokémon!”

Lin Family Residence...
A group of high-ranking officials of the Lin family were sitting together, discussing the matter of Jiang Mo publishing his thesis.
An elderly man with somewhat gray hair frowned slightly and said with emotion, “This child Jiang Mo is truly formidable, it seems we need to change our attitude towards his family.”
“Yes, this kid not only mastered our Lin family’s Tokiwa Power but also subdued the Child of the Mountain God. Now he has become such a talented Researcher. He will be extraordinary when he grows up.” Another serious-faced middle-aged man echoed, with a complex look in his eyes.
“Hmph, no matter what, he is an outsider. I say we should snatch back the Child of the Mountain God. That Pokémon originally belonged to our Lin family! Why should a young brat take it? That’s our family’s treasure, we can’t let him get it so cheaply.” A somewhat irritable middle-aged man grumbled unhappily, his face full of indignation.
“Old Fifth, what nonsense are you talking about! Jiang Mo is now Old Man Ouyang’s student. With him as a backer, Jiang Mo’s rise is already a foregone conclusion. Aren’t you clear about the value of a League Doctor? That involves such a vast network of connections!” A calmer-looking middle-aged man quickly reprimanded him, clearly showing disapproval of such a foolish approach.
“Alright, quiet!”
At this moment, a strong-voiced old man suddenly slammed the table, and the sound was exceptionally loud in the quiet room, instantly silencing everyone.
The old man’s gaze was deep, revealing a sense of authority. After a pause, he continued, “Jiang Mo, after all, has half of our Lin family’s blood flowing in him, so he is half a Lin family member. We cannot make the relationship too stiff.”
“Lin Zhixuan, you are Jiang Mo’s uncle. At the League banquet not long from now, you go and invite his mother and him to attend together. We can also take the opportunity to mend our relationship. In the future, it will only benefit our Lin family, not harm it.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
Lin Zhixuan quickly accepted the order, feeling overjoyed. Being able to see his family once again valuing his sister and nephew, the worry that had been hanging over him finally settled.
