"Hmm? Is my ugly fish finally arriving? It's even faster than I expected."
Although the message only mentioned that it was a Water-type Pokémon.
But without a doubt, all Ye Yinchuan will receive now is the ugly fish sent by "Never Go Home Empty-Handed".
"Kirby, your new friend is almost home!"
Ye Yinchuan stretched and patted the little Snorlax that had come closer.
"Click!"
The little Munchlax was all smiles, very happy.
This way, when its owner is working, the little Snorlax will have a playmate!
[Ding! This live stream has earned a total of 10818 influence points!]
[Current reputation level has been upgraded to: Level 4, Somewhat Famous!]
[To advance to the next reputation level, you will need 49182 more Influence Points!]
Do you want to claim the Reputation Gift Pack?
Before Ye Yinchuan could even check, the system notification for the live stream's earnings had already popped up.
Wow, that was done in one go!
Ye Yinchuan was slightly excited.
The system upgrade was faster than expected.
"Somewhat famous? Maybe? After all, I have nearly three thousand real followers."
Ye Yinchuan felt perfectly justified.
This live stream nearly doubled his fanbase, and it continues to grow.
If someone were to cut this live stream into video clips, it would likely attract even more astonishing traffic.
Although the number of influence points required for the next reputation level upgrade has increased many times over.
However, the influence points he gained from live streaming also increased in tandem with his popularity and number of fans.
So although the number of points required seems exaggerated.
But in reality, it's easier than you might imagine.
Of course, this time is special too.
It's another "Shiny" Scyther, and another encounter with the legendary Pokémon Suicune.
You can't encounter this in every live stream.
"Claim it now!"
Ye Yinchuan didn't hesitate much.
[You have claimed the Reputation Gift Pack and gained the exclusive skill: Heavenly Healer!]
[Exclusive Skill: Heavenly Healer]
[Description: You possess the ability to soothe Pokémon, which will help you get along better with them. When you pet a Pokémon, it will feel as if it's in paradise and will become addicted, greatly increasing its affection for you!]
Even if you don't pet them, Pokémon will sense the magic in your hands and uncontrollably crave your comfort!
You can spend a lot of Influence Points to perform spatial-insensitive petting, even soothing a Pokémon through a screen!
"Uh... is this ability legitimate?"
Although the description is quite proper and seems to have no problems.
But with the caresses and the blissful feeling of being in paradise... something just feels off!
"But that's really impressive!"
After examining it carefully, Ye Yinchuan became serious.
This "Heavenly Master" can essentially be broken down into three effects.
Firstly, it can soothe Pokémon while significantly increasing their affinity.
Secondly, there's the succubus-like nature of Pokémon, because even if you don't actively seek them out, they'll come up and ask to be petted.
Thirdly, and most incredibly, is the act of caressing someone from a distance, even through a screen!
The more Ye Yinchuan pondered, the stranger his expression became.
This unique ability is very strong, even abnormally so... on various levels.
"With the Heavenly Hands, the process of winning over that Flame-Spotted Cat should be much faster, right? Or even... a piece of cake?"
Ye Yinchuan still remembers that at the time, he only used the cat-petting skills he had learned in his life, and he made the Fire Spotted Cat unable to resist.
If we were to use something as overpowered as the "Heavenly Healer"...
This must have made Lizard Cat so excited it rolled its eyes and started twitching!
Thinking about this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't wait to bring that fire-spotted cat home.
After all, its quality and appearance are both quite good.
The longer the night goes on, the more things can go wrong; there's no guarantee that someone else won't take a fancy to it and beat them to it.
Although that fire-spotted cat wasn't so easy to tame.
"No rush. Ugly Fish will be home today. Let's settle it in first."
Ye Yinchuan took a look.
I asked "Never Going to the Skies" to choose high-end transportation, which not only ensures the Pokémon is delivered fresh and alive to my home, but also provides an aquarium specifically for Water-type Pokémon, plus a regular Poké Ball.
The items that come with this gift alone would cost at least a thousand on the market.
So, even though the fee is two thousand, there's a reason why it's expensive.
Ye Yinchuan checked the earnings from the afternoon's live stream.
With 16 Masterball bases in place, the total profit is sure to be substantial.
Although I was mentally prepared.
But seeing the profit of 13791.25 yuan, he couldn't help but smile.
It's that kind of genuine, heartfelt smile.
"Earning over 10,000 yuan from a single live stream!"
Ye Yinchuan calculated that the 16 Master Ball gifts alone had contributed 11200 to his earnings.
Therefore, although the number of people and sessions for this live broadcast were not large, the revenue was unprecedentedly high!
As for the remaining two thousand or so, that's just a small fraction, negligible in comparison.
"Awesome! I don't have to worry about living expenses for the next while!"
Ye Yinchuan immediately felt a sense of relief throughout his body.
After all, the revenue from live streaming is unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low, which made Munchlax's appetite grow bigger and bigger.
Ye Yinchuan was somewhat worried that if he earned less from live streaming one day, he wouldn't be able to afford food.
Especially since we're about to have an ugly fish and a fire-spotted cat added to the family.
Even if I say I don't care about it, in reality, a vague anxiety still lingers in my heart.
Now that he has suddenly earned tens of thousands of yuan, Ye Yinchuan finally feels the exhilarating sense of relief, as if all his worries have been lifted and his anxiety has vanished.
On the other hand, Ye Yinchuan has become even more enthusiastic about his future live-streaming career.
This is a positive, virtuous cycle.
The more profitable something is, the more motivated one becomes, and the more motivated one is, the more effective one will be.
It wasn't a forced motivation, but rather a natural one.
When a person enters this state, it is very easy for them to succeed.
I just love live streaming, I just love Pokémon, nothing can stop me!
As for the number of fans, Ye Yinchuan glanced at it and saw that it had already exceeded three thousand, and it was still growing even after the broadcast ended.
It seems my live stream this afternoon was really effective!
As dinner time approached, Ye Yinchuan decided to go downstairs for a stroll and grab something to eat.
Of course, I fed the little Munchlax before leaving.
This chubby boy is getting rounder and rounder.
Pokémon food is for filling your stomach; eating it yourself is just to get a taste.
Ye Yinchuan was holding his phone, scrolling through short videos.
Occasionally, when I see a push notification for a live stream, I'll stop and watch for a while.
As I said before, as a streamer, you need to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and catch the latest jokes.
These days, Ye Yinchuan's days are completely filled with activities.
Watching short videos and live streams only allows you to make good use of fragmented time.
It was a form of entertainment and relaxation in itself, and Ye Yinchuan enjoyed it.
"This music has such a catchy rhythm, and the camera work, Kabi, look, the atmosphere is amazing..."
Ye Yinchuan was scrolling through a recent trending topic.
It's called "Million-Dollar Camera: The Eve of the Party".
Its magic lies in the catchy and addictive background music, which is a compilation of several songs, and even the original songs themselves are not as good as the combined version.
Ye Yinchuan took a closer look and found that the pieced-together music was called "Espresso".
The video features a beautiful woman and Pokémon, and the participants sway and make various expressions to the rhythm, matching their lip movements. The key element is the use of sunglasses as a prop. Wearing sunglasses and not wearing them create two different rhythms and states, exuding confidence and flamboyance, full of contrast and charm.
Generally, the Pokémon chosen for these kinds of videos are those with high visual appeal and popularity.
One of the most popular videos is about Gardevoir.
Gardevoir is a very popular Pokémon, with a beautiful appearance and elegant posture, making it a perfect fit for this trend.
Moreover, as the final evolution of Ralts and a Psychic/Fairy type Pokémon, Gardevoir is both powerful and extremely rare in this world.
Using a Pokémon like this to create short videos and dance for the public is quite eye-catching.
Therefore, its popularity is almost overwhelmingly high.
Next is Pikachu.
Pikachu is so popular that people are dancing to the rhythm, swaying and bobbing.
She's cute without sunglasses and cool and adorable with them, which has captivated the comments section. People of all ages love her.
Then, it's Squirtle's turn.
The owner of this thing is a genius; he made an innovation with sunglasses, putting round-framed black sunglasses on Squirtle.
Without sunglasses, he looks a bit goofy, but with sunglasses on, he becomes both goofy and cool, which is refreshing and novel.
"Click!"
The little Snorlax waved its paws and swayed to the rhythm of the music, its chubby body displaying a remarkable sense of rhythm.
But Ye Yinchuan felt that Munchlax might be more suited to hula dancing or belly dancing!
"Wow, I didn't expect my little Kirby to be such a nimble little chubby."
Ye Yinchuan said with a smile.
He continued scrolling through short videos and soon came across a live stream notification.
The live stream room is called "Egg Egg Takes You to Make Mischief, Free Live Tutorial".
The streamer's name is "Dandan," and he's a fairly well-known streamer in the "Mischief" category.
They are very popular, with tens of thousands of fans.
The number of viewers watching the live stream was as high as over 10,000.
"Are there really that many people watching this mischief?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but click in and take a look for a while, but soon frowned.
This "egg" is unreliable too. In the live stream, he was holding an egg and babbling on and on, but very few of his statements were correct.
As for why Ye Yinchuan knew this, he had a discerning eye.
The cuticle of each egg is clearly visible.
"Come on, let's have the shopkeeper take this egg downstairs and incubate it in the incubator. Let's see if it hatches into the little dragon Egg was talking about!"
Ye Yinchuan looked at the egg; inside was clearly a trumpet bud...
The assistant placed the Pokémon egg into the so-called "incubator" and then started it.
After a while, when the incubator was turned on again, there was a newly hatched little fire dragon inside!
"Wow, this Charmander is amazing! Its IVs should be at least this high!"
Egg made an "A" gesture towards the screen.
"How about it? Anyone want one? If so, we'll deliver it to your door for free! We also have Pokémon egg blind boxes for sale. They're full of Pokémon eggs, and you never know what Pokémon you'll get. If you get a starter Pokémon, you'll be rolling in it! Come on, let's randomly open a blind box egg!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't bear to look any longer.
This streamer is such a rip-off.
It's one thing to fake egg identification and hatching, but are those blind box eggs even genuinely blind boxes?
They were all small rattatas, trumpet buds, and even some stinking saplings; quite a few were also dead...
Anyone who buys this will be scammed; once they buy it, they won't say a word!
To Ye Yinchuan's dismay, he discovered that the streamer's address was in the same city as his own.
"Seriously, this guy has more fans than me?"
Although somewhat indignant, Ye Yinchuan knew that this "Egg" account was being promoted by a guild and had been running for over a year, so it was normal for it to have accumulated some fans.
I, on the other hand, am starting from scratch with a new account and am still in the early stages, so it's not comparable to what I was doing before.
Moreover, it's still unknown how many of those tens of thousands of followers are fake!
"I'm not watching anymore, it's bad luck."
Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to shut down the live stream.
As the other person's camera panned across the room, Ye Yinchuan caught a glimpse of a Pokémon egg placed in a corner.
"what?"
The panel that flashed by made Ye Yinchuan's gaze freeze.
"This is... a flashing, variegated color?!"
At that moment, Ye Yinchuan's heart began to pound wildly.
When Ye Yinchuan saw Ah Chong capture a Shiny Scyther, it would be impossible for him not to feel a little envious.
He also harbored a secret longing to one day capture a shiny Pokémon.
But Ye Yinchuan knew that his chances were slim; this kind of thing was truly something that could only be encountered by chance.
Especially since I don't have the means to go into the wild right now, the chances are even slimmer.
He never expected that what he had been searching for would come to him so easily.
Just by watching a live stream, I actually saw a Shiny Pokémon egg!
Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible to tell before they hatch.
If you hatch a Shiny Pokémon egg, it's like winning the lottery.
As mentioned before, these Pokémon are not only visually appealing, but also possess additional combat power and potential, making them one in a million chosen Pokémon.
"Could it be that I've been blessed with Ah Chong's good fortune?"
Although Ye Yinchuan was a materialist, he couldn't help but think of this idea at this moment.
At this moment, he carefully examined the panel of the egg.
Pokémon Egg: Rowlet
[Category: Grass-Winged Pokémon]
[Type: Grass, Flying]
[Gender: Female]
[Racial stats: C-rank (320)]
Individual Value: Grade A (189)
【Feature: Long-distance】
[Character: Naive]
[Evolutionary Path: Throwing Owl - Sniper Tree Owl]
[Skills: Tackle, Roar, Strange Light (Egg Move)]
[Status: Weak]
[Trait: Different Color Flash]
"It's Rowlet!"
The image of Mumu Xiao involuntarily surfaced in Ye Yinchuan's mind.
The reason I have a deep impression of this thing is because this little guy has an interesting nickname: "Minami Kotori".
As for why it's called "Minami Kotori," it's quite similar to "Trus and the Monthly Card Girl Nozaki-kun"...
The color scheme and design are very similar, and the "kotori" in "Minami Kotori" even echoes the character Owl.
What? You're asking what "Minami Kotori" is?
You may not have heard of LoveLive!, but you've probably heard of "Nico Nico Nico" at least a little bit, right?
That's right, it came from this work.
"Minami Kotori" is one of the main characters. She is the kind of girl idol who is quite pure and cute.
Ye Yinchuan pondered.
I currently have a Snorlax, and I plan to get Feebas and Litten later.
They have Normal, Water, and Fire types.
I was just missing a Grass-type, so getting this Rowlet is a good fit.
Although Rowlet has the Flying type, its evolution is rather absurd. Its final evolution, Decidueye, can also fly high into the sky, but it's a Grass/Ghost type...
As for whether or not they can be raised successfully.
When Ye Yinchuan saw the "Shining Color", it was no longer the main issue he should be considering!
Take it, must take it!
There are a few things to note about this Woody Owl egg.
First, its condition is "weak," which means that the egg is not very healthy and is in a rather dangerous state. If left unattended, it may die.
Secondly, even with the "Shiny Color" buff, this Woody Owl only has an Individual Value of 189, which is just a little short of reaching S-rank, making it a nightmare for perfectionists.
Perhaps it is related to a state of "weakness".
The health of the egg also affects the growth and potential of the unhatched Pokémon!
Finally, there's this Rowlet, which carries the Egg Move "Strange Light," and is one of its highlights.
"Everything else is negotiable, but we can't let this Rowlet egg rot or fall into the wrong hands!"
As one comment once said.
If you miss this Rowlet egg, then the egg in your memory will only shine brighter and brighter with the passage of time!
"Since things have come to this, let's eat first... Ugh! Who can eat anything like this?!"
Ye Yinchuan originally wanted to have a meal before setting off.
But the thought that the egg could be taken away at any time, or become severely decayed, or even die, is still unbearable.
Ye Yinchuan was completely unable to remain calm.
An unhealthy Pokémon egg is like food that's about to expire in the refrigerator.
You can never predict when it will suddenly break down completely!
"Kirby, let's go!"
Ye Yinchuan casually bought two bags of bread and two bottles of Moo Moo milk at the "Manzu" convenience store on the roadside.
I got one for myself and one for Munchlax, and then I went straight for it.
Through the live streamer "Dandan's" channel, Ye Yinchuan had no way of knowing which Pokémon Egg store it was.
When asked, they gave vague answers.
He could only judge by the store's interior decoration and the surrounding environment.
"He's clearly guilty, he won't even say which store he caused the trouble at..."
Fortunately, by comparing photos of the stores on the map, Ye Yinchuan finally determined that there were only two stores in his city with this style of decoration.
"It's a 50/50 chance, let's take a gamble! If all else fails, we'll go to both places!"
Ye Yinchuan was determined.
Family, we've reached 10,000 words today, and our first-day subscriptions have surpassed 1,000! I'll try to update more frequently in the near future! Writing in isolation can be a bit unpredictable, so please feel free to offer any suggestions~
