Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 476 Drillhorn Beast Evolution… Super Armored Rhinoceros! Unafraid of high temperatures and slashing attacks! A super-powerful move with a power of 150!

"I don't remember awakening a pay-to-win system, did I?"

Although Ye Yinchuan didn't pay much attention, he could still sense his "wealth and power" from the reactions of others, after all, he wasn't that oblivious.

He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "It's really great to have such rare resources that you can never lack them and have whatever you want. Not to mention the amazing awe and admiration from passersby and thousands of people. No wonder some people like to read stories about super-rich people."

"take it."

Ye Yinchuan, showing no emotion, handed the basalt fruit to the rhinoceros with horns.

Rhyhorn was somewhat flattered; as a Pokémon, it was naturally able to sense the energy and aura within...

Two words: Absolutely top-notch!

Although the trainer accompanying the Rhyhorn was also an expert and it had eaten plenty of chaff, it still seemed a bit like a country bumpkin in the face of such a top-tier berry.

As the old saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm.

The trainer was also somewhat speechless. He glanced at Ye Yinchuan, then at the Rhyhorn, and nodded hesitantly. He too found it hard to believe that this young man was truly so generous…

It's like a stranger suddenly giving you a big gift. A house might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's at least the equivalent of a mid-range luxury car.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Rhyhorn first timidly took a bite of a Basalt Berry. After realizing its deliciousness and benefits, its eyes widened like saucers. It was hard to imagine that such a large and burly Pokémon could also have such a cute and charming side.

[Haha, I thought these high-level Pokémon would be mysterious and aloof. When they first appeared, I felt quite intimidated by them, but in front of the streamer, they all seem like cute little pets?]

This boils down to strength and status. Pokémon have a keen intuition, allowing them to assess the strength comparison between themselves and their opponents, and to anticipate their own status. If you lack strength, many Pokémon won't take you seriously; if you do have strength, you'll be fawned over!

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments and secretly agreed with this assessment, comparing it to a cat and a tiger...

For small birds, cats are fierce predators, while for humans, tigers are fierce predators...

But if you are strong enough, you might also witness the fierce side of a tiger and a cat. This strength doesn't just refer to physical power, but could also mean being able to provide various resources...

In the world before Ye Yinchuan's transmigration, there were some wealthy people in oil-producing areas who kept tigers and leopards as pets.

Even dogs can instinctively judge the status of family members, which is clearly hierarchical and strict.

As the rhinoceros devoured its food, energy began to surge from its body, accompanied by a white light of evolution…

Facts speak louder than words. The evolution of the rhinoceros has begun, and everything Ye Yinchuan said has been verified at this moment.

[Host Niu Boyi!]

[Is this true skill? That's ruthless! The evolution that others can't even find, the streamer accomplished in a matter of minutes!]

[Is this the evolved form of the Drillhorn Rhinoceros? I'm really looking forward to seeing what it will look like!]

Amidst the heated discussion, Rhyhorn's evolution process was completed rapidly and violently. Its brand-new Pokémon form, after the light gradually faded, was presented to everyone in a very imposing manner.

Wow, it's changed so much!

[It's practically a militarized armored monster, so domineering!]

[It's not just that my defense has gotten stronger, it's that I possess immense destructive potential!]

Indeed, it's completely different, but if you look closely, you can still see the shadow of the rhinoceros!

Ye Yinchuan also looked at the evolved form of the Drillhorn Rhinoceros and couldn't help but nod. The evolution was very successful, and it was pretty much as he had expected.

"Family members, the evolution of this Rhinoceros has been quite successful. I call this evolved form the Super Armored Rhinoceros. As you have said, the Super Armored Rhinoceros has amazing defensive capabilities and also possesses extremely strong offensive capabilities... Let me explain in detail."

At this moment, Ye Yinchuan displayed exceptional control of the situation, like a storyteller slamming his fist on the table, drawing the attention of everyone present and in the live broadcast room.

【Super Armored Rhinoceros? That's a cool and imposing name!】

[Hmm...so extreme and outrageous, it's rare to see something like this!]

"Look, after the Drillhorn Rhinoceros evolved into the Super Armored Rhinoceros, its skin thickness increased significantly, as if its entire body was wrapped in armor, protecting all the weak points on its body. For example, when it was still a Drillhorn Rhinoceros, you could clearly see that its ears were exposed, but after becoming the Super Armored Rhinoceros, they were completely covered up."

That's actually quite interesting.

[Haha, no wonder I looked so silly, turns out my ears were missing! This darn feeling of being wrapped up, nobody understands!]

【6...】

"And as some of you may have noticed, the Drillhorn Rhinoceros's offensive weapon, the Drillhorn, has also been enhanced after evolving into the Super Armored Rhinoceros, becoming a rather deadly weapon in battle..."

Looking at its hands, they are even more developed, with more distinct finger differentiation, and thicker nails and palms. Once an enemy is gripped by it, they will be forced to face a terrifying burrowing attack!

Ye Yinchuan went on a tirade, which wasn't really boasting; these were all facts and characteristics of the Super Armored Rhinoceros.

[Wow, I can picture it now! So that's how the Super Armored Rhino uses its massive hands—the powerful grip to control the enemy, then it attacks with its horns. Just imagining it makes it seem impossible to defeat!]

[Yeah... I can't hurt them by fighting, and it hurts to fight back, ouch!]

"Of course, the most distinctive feature of the Super Armored Rhinoceros is its body, which has structures that resemble protective armor protruding from its surface. I call these super armor plates. These plates are orange-red and are quite unusual..."

It is an unknown substance formed by the fusion of rock and terrestrial energies, combined with special soil and rock. Its hardness and strength are terrifying; it is completely impervious to both slashing attacks and high temperatures!

[Wow, my Super Armored Rhino is awesome!]

That's really awesome! This evolved form is amazing!

"The Super Armored Rhinoceros, as far as I know, has another powerful attack method..."

Ye Yinchuan looked at the arm of the Super Armored Rhinoceros.
"As you can see, the structure of this arm is very prominent and highly developed, almost like a cannon barrel, and on its palm..."

At Ye Yinchuan's prompting, the super-armored rhinoceros revealed its palm. In the center of its palm was a dark, empty hole, giving the impression of unfathomable depth and the existence of a universe within...

[There's a hole in his palm? He can't possibly be breathing fire, can he?]

Could it be capable of emitting a destructive beam?

Ye Yinchuan simply laughed off the wild ideas in the comments section, explaining: "The Super Armored Rhinoceros's arm structure is quite unique, but without other mutations, it's probably unrealistic for it to spew fire or energy rays..."

But one thing is certain: the Super Armored Rhinoceros can fill this cavity with rocks and then launch them like artillery fire, with astonishing power, and can also strike at a certain long range!

So, what's the underlying principle, streamer?

[Launching rocks is amazing! Haha, it's hard to imagine...]

"If I told you that the principle behind the Super Armored Rhinoceros's ability to launch rocks is actually to unleash muscle power and forcefully compress it to create pressure, thus propelling the rocks forward, how would you respond?"

[Why does this feel strangely creepy?]

[A hole in the palm, muscles...squeezing...ejaculation...hiss, I have a bold idea!]

[You perverts, shut up! Gardevoir is one thing, but you even went after Rhyperior? You beasts!]

Seeing the reactions in the comments, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle. Taking some Pokémon knowledge that they didn't know was like peeling an onion, layer by layer, and then observing their reactions. It was quite an interesting thing to do.

How to handle it? I'll handle it with a smile!

[Host, is there anything else I don't know? Just tell me all at once!]

"Okay, then I'll share another interesting thing. Small Rock Pokémon like Geodude and Rockruff sometimes use Rhyperior as a rock to fill their shells before launching them..."

"So, according to you, those small punching stones can actually experience the squeezing sensation from the Super Armored Rhinoceros's muscles?"

I'd like to know, will this hole in the Super Armored Rhinoceros smell bad? Will anything leak out?

That would be terrible, wouldn't it get crushed?

Looking at these comments, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but slowly type out a question mark, especially the ones asking if something would leak out. Don't be so ridiculous!
"Dust and debris will inevitably accumulate, forming something similar to earwax. As for the smell, as a Rock Pokémon, it will at most smell of dust..."

However, as a responsible anchor, Ye Yinchuan still responded with a few words.

"As for whether the small geodesic stone used as a rock filling will be crushed, it depends on the strength of the Super Armored Rhinoceros and the hardness of the small geodesic stone itself. Generally, there is no problem, but if too much force is used, injury is unavoidable."

[Host, are you sure you don't want to introduce the features?]

Is there any powerful move that Rhyperior doesn't have, but that is unique to Rhyperior after evolving into Rhyperior?

Ye Yinchuan knew that similar problems would arise every time a new Pokémon evolution form appeared, and that was what he was going to talk about next.

"Rhyhorn and Rhyperior, these two evolutions of the same Pokémon, don't have much difference in their characteristics."

However, one thing is certain: if Rhyhorn's ability during its early stages was Hard Head, then after evolving into Mega Rhyhorn, its ability will also improve, transforming into Hard Rock...

The latter, compared to the former, has wider applicability and can enhance the overall strength of the Super Armored Rhino.

Ye Yinchuan paused slightly, then continued,

"As for the unique and powerful moves that can be mastered after evolution, the first one is the Fighting-type Hammer. Although Rhyperior also has the opportunity to master this move, judging from the physical characteristics of Pokémon, Rhyperior's Hammer is the real Hammer, and its power is incomparable..."

As for other moves, there's the unique Rock Cannon from the Super Armored Rhino. The power of the Rock Cannon varies greatly, depending entirely on the user's skill and how they utilize it… Theoretically, the Super Armored Rhino's Rock Cannon's maximum power can even reach 150 points, making it an extremely powerful move!

"Dude, what kind of rock can withstand a rock cannon with 150 power?"

[It seems ordinary rocks simply couldn't withstand it; even a small, extremely hard rock would likely be crushed!]

[The arm of the Super Armored Rhinoceros is indeed terrifying. The use of this arm hammer is completely different in terms of intimidation compared to the short arms of the Drill Horned Rhinoceros!]

There was a lot of discussion on the barrage.

"Rhyperior's base stat totals are as high as 535, which is on par with the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon. Compared to Rhyperior's previous 485, the improvement is not small."

That concludes Ye Yinchuan's introduction to the Super Armored Rhinoceros; saying more would be redundant.

I feel that there is a big difference between Rhydon and the starter Pokémon. Rhydon is stronger than the starter Pokémon in its second evolution, but when the starter Pokémon evolves into its third evolution, Rhydon's potential is completely overshadowed because it is difficult to evolve into its third evolution...

In summary, the starter Pokémon have the smoothest transition, with good potential and a good floor. Rhyhorn, on the other hand, is more advantageous in the early to mid-game, but becomes awkward in the late game if it can't evolve into Rhyperior.

[You armchair trainers, have you overlooked the fact that even Rhyhorn needs a Rhydon to reach level 40 or higher to evolve? I think it's a late bloomer, it's just that the evolution chain wasn't complete before the streamer revealed it!]

"Come on... a late bloomer? Don't make me laugh. The truly late bloomers are Pokémon with base stats of 600 or higher. What is your Rhyhorn? It's just a late bloomer at best!"

After glancing at the subsequent trend of the comments, Ye Yinchuan shook his head. He wouldn't comment too much on these discussions; the objective facts were there, and people would have their own opinions.

Back to topic.

"Alright, the Super Armored Rhino has completed its evolution. It's time to let it continue testing the offensive capabilities of my Super Aggron."

Ye Yinchuan was full of confidence. Although he had just praised Rhyperior, and Rhyperior was indeed a very powerful Pokémon evolution, it was still far inferior to his Mega Aggron...

Even if it were to evolve now, it wouldn't change the fate of the touchstone; at most, it would just transform from a low-level touchstone into a high-level one.

[Perfect timing to test the strength of the Super Armored Rhino!]

[I'm really looking forward to it! This time they won't be so easily defeated!]

As the test began, the two armored behemoths collided violently, their immense brute force violently tearing apart the ground beneath their feet...

Super Aggron still used a ramming attack, but this time, Super Armored Rhino wasn't directly knocked away; instead, it withstood the impact head-on...

However, this situation only lasted for a short while. The gap in life level and power had not yet been bridged. Super Aggron began to exert its power, steam spewing from the holes in its body. Its power actually began to surge, and one could feel that Super Aggron's body temperature was also rising...

The Super Armored Rhino was once again unable to withstand the onslaught from the Super Aggron, and was forced to retreat step by step. Despite its impressive defense, it still sustained numerous wounds!
What is this? Is it a technique? Or some kind of special ability...?

[Even the so-called super armor isn't as good as Super Boss's steel armor!]

[Sigh, you don't know how big the gap in strength is until you test it out; it's like a chasm!]
