Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 521 Will the legendary Pokémon Xerneas awaken within 24 hours? A new exclusive ability!

"A born dominant Pokémon..."

The driver of the car that narrowly escaped the accident was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the darkness outside the window.

My mind went blank involuntarily, replaying the scene in my mind...

The flock of dark crows, surrounding their newborn leader, slowly disappeared into the thick fog, and the entire forest returned to deathly silence.

Everything that was breathtaking seemed like an illusion.

"Ravenhead, a Dark/Flying type Pokémon known as the 'Night Summoner'."

Ye Yinchuan's voice pulled the person on the other end of the line back to reality.

"As you can see, all the Murks obey the orders of the Chief Raven. And the Chief Raven usually doesn't go out easily, spending a lot of time in the nest preening its feathers... As for food, the Murks only need to find it."

[Okay, okay, just like our boss, the subordinates do all the dirty and hard work!]

This guy's a total capitalist!

The comments on the screen made Ye Yinchuan chuckle.

"What if I told you that even when the Raven Leader fights the enemy, he sends his Dark Ravens to fight, and only makes his own move in the final blow? How would you react then?"

[Wow! He's more like our leader now! The final result must go to him!]

Suddenly, I find the leader of the crows rather repulsive!

The working class in the live chat were indignant.

Ye Yinchuan also realized that this crow leader was indeed hateful!
Especially what he's about to say:

"The leader of the crows is extremely harsh on his subordinates and will not tolerate any failure or betrayal by the dark crows... If a dark crow fails to hunt, it will punish it!"

[Isn't this going too far? Betrayal is one thing, but failure is another?]

[Haha, that's hilarious! My company does the same thing. If you're late or make a small mistake, you get fined, euphemistically called "charitable donation"!]

[Will the leader of the crows add, "It's to maintain order within the group?"]

Upon seeing the last comment, Ye Yinchuan almost couldn't hold back anymore.

How come the comments section predicted my prediction?

That's exactly what it says in the Pokédex, or something similar!
The image of the crow leader, which was originally a perfectly good "overlord" and "godfather," is now turning into that of a "capitalist."

Ye Yinchuan quickly tried to salvage the situation:
"When the leader of the crows goes out, it usually leads a large flock of dark crows. They are called 'callers of the night' because they often move when night falls, and because when the leader of the crows caws, more than a hundred dark crows will gather... That dark mass, covering the sky, is truly a scene of nightfall, boundless darkness."

We too are shrouded in the shadow of capitalists, a boundless darkness!

The room upstairs isn't that bright.

"In terms of strength, the Raven Leader's base stats are as high as 505. The Raven Leader we just saw is level 45 and its individual stats are also A-rank or higher, making it a well-deserved overlord."

"As for traits, Raven Leaders usually have two types. One is 'Insomnia,' which means it hardly needs to sleep, has more energy, and is less affected by the 'sleep' effect; the other is 'Super Luck,' which makes it lucky and makes it easier to hit the opponent's vitals in battle."

[The "Super Luck" trait is definitely good for finishing off enemies!]

[Sleeplessness is a bit weak... but against opponents with sleep abilities, it's a god-tier ability!]

"And the one we're seeing happens to have the hidden ability 'Overconfidence'."

When Pokémon was mentioned, the audience's attention was clearly diverted.

“The characteristic of ‘overconfidence’ is related to ambition, but simply put, it increases its attack power every time it defeats an opponent, becoming more and more courageous in battle.”

[Got it. Let the underlings go in and fight first... then I'll finish them off. How can we possibly lose?]

[Hiss... Wouldn't a crow leader with this trait be invincible?]

There was a lot of discussion on the barrage.

As the crow leaders departed, the thick fog in the mountains miraculously began to dissipate slowly.

A sliver of cool moonlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the lonely, winding mountain road.

"Alright, brother, the crisis is over. You can leave safely now," Ye Yinchuan reminded the person on the other end of the line.

"Thank you... thank you so much, streamer! Thank you so much!"

The driver's voice still trembled with the shock of surviving a close call.

He gave an awkward bow to the camera.

"If it weren't for you, I... I would really be dead here today!"

"You're too kind." Ye Yinchuan waved his hand. "Helping those in need and Pokémon is my original intention and purpose for live streaming."

"Alright everyone, it's getting late, so that's all for today's live stream. See you tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yinchuan abruptly ended the broadcast without waiting for the comments to react.

Silence returned to the room.

He let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Today's live stream went quite well.

From the stunning debut of the scythe helmet, to the touching transformation of the beautiful flower, and finally to the domineering evolution of the crow leader...

The story is full of twists and turns, and climaxes one after another.

The financial gains from the back end no longer mean much to him; they're just a string of numbers.

more importantly……

Gaining Influence Points!

This live stream garnered a total of 129931 influence points!

[Congratulations, host! Your reputation level has increased!]

[Current Reputation Level: IX. Global Rising Star!]

[1,000,000,000 Influence Points are needed to advance to the next Reputation rank!]

"A hundred million?!"

Ye Yinchuan almost jumped off his chair.

I was mentally prepared, but not much.

Do you want to claim the Reputation Gift Pack?

coming!

Ye Yinchuan's heart pounded, and he replied decisively, "Yes!"

[Unlock a brand new exclusive ability: Daily Intelligence]

[Daily Intelligence: After the first live stream of the day, the host can receive one piece of important information about Pokémon for free. This intelligence is randomly generated and may involve the habitat of rare Pokémon, clues to special mutated individuals, or even... traces of legendary and mythical Pokémon.]

[Current available uses: 1]

And this new ability... [Daily Intelligence]?
At first, Ye Yinchuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Important information?

He possesses the "Illustrated Compendium of True Knowledge" and the "Insightful Eye for Appraising Treasures," making him nearly omniscient and able to appraise everything. Isn't this ability a bit of a double-edged sword and contradictory?

He could find out all the information he needs just by glancing at it, right?
My excitement just moments ago has instantly subsided considerably.

"wrong!"

Upon closer inspection of the back, Ye Yinchuan's heart skipped a beat.

Clues to mutated individuals are one thing...

The legendary Pokémon have been spotted!

Damn it, this isn't daily intelligence, it's divine beast intelligence!

With a thought, Ye Yinchuan decisively used this exclusive ability.

[Generating today's important intelligence for you...]

[Intelligence generated!]

next second.

A line of golden text, seemingly imbued with divine light, appeared before his eyes.

[Legendary Pokémon Information: Xerneas, the God of Life, will awaken within 24 hours from its slumbering ancient tree form deep within the Evergreen Forest on the western outskirts of the Fog City.]

"..."

Ye Yinchuan's expression froze.

He blinked.

She blinked again.

Make sure you haven't misread that line of text.

Zhe...

Xerneas?!

That legendary Pokémon from the Kalos region, representing "life"! A true legendary Pokémon!

boom--!
An indescribable surge of joy, like a volcanic eruption, instantly rushed to the top of his head!

Chicken ribs?

That's fucking amazing!
This isn't intelligence; it's practically a treasure map of mythical beasts with coordinates pinpointed to the exact location!

Ye Yinchuan excitedly stood up from his chair and paced back and forth in the room, his heart pounding wildly.

As expected, the system did not disappoint me.

These unique abilities are all incredibly awesome! They're fucking awesome!

With this ability, he has the chance to obtain a clue about legendary Pokémon, mythical Pokémon, or other rare Pokémon every day!

His live streams will no longer be the passive, wait-and-see approach of online treasure appraisal.

Instead, we can take the initiative to seek out the miracles hidden in the corners of the world!

"Mythical Beast Hunter" live stream?

Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping!

more importantly……

Xerneas!
Ye Yinchuan's gaze involuntarily fell on the Poké Ball that was quietly floating next to the energy cube in the corner of the room.

Inside is the mythical Pokémon, Diancie.

"Come out, Diancie."

With a flash of light, the petite yet elegant Diamond Princess appeared in the room.

“Mr. Kirby?” It tilted its head, its jewel-like eyes filled with doubt.

“Tianci,” Ye Yinchuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions, and said in the gentlest voice possible, “We… may see Xerneas soon.”

"Xerneas?!"

Diancie's eyes lit up instantly!
It was very clear what that meant!
Ye Yinchuan had been trying to help it undergo super evolution for some time, but without success.

Ye Yinchuan also mentioned it.

According to the ancient legends of the Gem Kingdom that he knew, only by bathing in Xerneas's "fairy aura," which contained life energy, could the Diancie clan gain true power and complete their life transformation.

Super evolution!

"Are we... going to see it?" Tianxi's voice was filled with anticipation and a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Yes." Ye Yinchuan nodded heavily, his eyes more determined than ever before.

"Let's go tomorrow!"

Diancie's Mega Evolution was something that couldn't be delayed, lest things get complicated if it was delayed any longer.

Previously, even when Ye Yinchuan actively sought information, he couldn't obtain any details about Xerneas...

Now that the new exclusive ability has been unlocked, everything falls into place naturally.

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
-
The next day, in the morning.

Ye Yinchuan did not start his live stream at home or in the few wilderness areas he usually visited, as he usually does.

He drove directly to the western suburbs of the "Fog City" in the early morning, to the vast wilderness area known locally as the "Evergreen Forest".

This place is sparsely populated, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, and the air is filled with the fragrance of damp earth and plants.

Good morning, everyone!

Ye Yinchuan skillfully turned on the live streaming equipment.

"Today's program is a bit special. Instead of an antique appraisal show, we're going on a spontaneous...outdoor adventure!"

【? ? ? 】

[666, the streamer went to a new jungle area again?]

[This place looks so primitive! What treasure are you looking for, streamer?]

Ye Yinchuan looked at the comments and smiled mysteriously.

"Today's target... I'll keep it a secret for now. But I guarantee that if we find it, it will be a 'treasure' that will surprise everyone."

With that, he released Diancie from the Poké Ball.

"Wow!"

As soon as she came out, Diancie let out a joyful cry.

It could sense that an extremely pure and vigorous life energy flowed in the air of this forest.

Although it was still very faint, the source of that aura was definitely... Xerneas!

It couldn't help but close its eyes, open its arms, and greedily breathe in this energy, making the diamonds around its body seem even more dazzling.

[Holy crap! It's Diancie! My wife!]

[The streamer finally decided to take her little princess out to play! She looks so beautiful!]

[Wait, Diancie's reaction... could there be some treasure in this forest?]

[That's too narrow-minded! Something that can excite even a Mythical Pokémon like this must be extraordinary!]

The audience's curiosity was completely ignited.

Ye Yinchuan didn't explain much, but simply led Tianxi, following the direction of the most concentrated life energy, into the depths of the forest.

Along the way, to keep the live stream entertained, he would occasionally interact with some interesting Pokémon.

He saw a Slowpoke lying by the stream, fishing with its tail dangling into the water.

But beneath its "bait," a giant tongue clam was tightly shut, refusing to take the bait no matter how much the Slowpoke shook its tail.

Slowpoke looked expectant, while Shellder looked completely blank.

One is willing to hit, the other is unwilling to be hit.

The scene was very embarrassing.

[Wait, why does this Slowpoke look so cunning? Who are you anyway?!]

[Slowpoke and Scream.]

[Giant clam: No way! Your tail tastes sweet, I don't like it! I want it salty!]

[What's going on here, streamer? Can you explain?]

Ye Yinchuan laughed and said, "What am I supposed to explain? There are intelligent individuals among Slowpoke, and there are not-so-intelligent ones among Shellder... Nature and Pokémon are just that amazing~ Obviously, this Slowpoke is planning to hunt Shellder, or rather, it wants to use it to evolve..."

"But unfortunately, this giant tuna is quite dull; it didn't even react when the 'food' was placed right in front of it."

Am I the only one curious about what kind of creature a combination of the intelligent Slowpoke and the silly Shellder can evolve into?

[Perhaps it's an individual we've never seen before?]

The imaginative comments in the live chat made Ye Yinchuan somewhat interested.

But in the end, he didn't interfere; he simply went around it.

Another walk.

A rustling sound came from the bushes nearby.

Ye Yinchuan parted the leaves and saw a walking grass hopping along on its two short legs.

Unlike its slow, leisurely "walking" habits, this Oddish jumps incredibly fast, like a wind-up little zombie.

[Pfft! Is this walking grass... in a hurry to get to work?]

[So cute! I want to catch one and use it as an alarm clock! It'll bounce on my bedside every morning!]

Ye Yinchuan observed it carefully.

Pokémon: Oddish

[Trait: Excellent Jumper]

This Oddish has undergone a slight mutation in its leg muscles, giving it a jumping ability far exceeding that of its kind. Although it looks somewhat comical, it moves very quickly.

“Family members, it’s another special individual.” Ye Yinchuan laughed. “It seems this forest is indeed a treasure trove of good fortune, even the walking grass is so vibrant.”

We walked through one woodland after another.

The deeper you go, the more lush and vibrant the surrounding plants become.

On some ordinary trees, even a faint, iridescent halo began to appear.

The life energy in the air is becoming increasingly concentrated.

Diancie's expression gradually changed from initial surprise to excitement and awe.

It knew that they were getting closer and closer to their target!
[This light...it's so beautiful! Like a rainbow!]

Why do I feel like the trees in this forest are all glowing?

[Host! What kind of treasure is this?! My heart is pounding like a deer!]

Ye Yinchuan's heart was in his throat.

Intelligence reports that Xerneas will awaken from his ancient tree form.

In this area, all the trees present an extraordinary appearance. Which one is the transformed divine beast?
He stopped and glanced around.

at last.

His gaze was fixed on the very center of the forest.

It was a tree unlike any other.

It lacked lush foliage; the entire trunk presented a withered, deep black color, as if it had lost all vitality.

But at its base, eight enormous, antler-like branches are sprawling.

A vacuum zone has formed around this "dead tree".

All the plants paid it the highest respect and dared not approach it even slightly.

The moment Ye Yinchuan saw it, his breath caught in his throat.

that's it!
There's no mistake!

Xerneas...Sleeping Mode!
