Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 144 So, will Mewtwo make a comeback this time? (4k)

But upon closer examination, this idea is clearly too simplistic.

At this moment, Ling Feng stared at the two cold records on the system panel, his brain working at lightning speed.

—Although the specific content of Mewtwo's question had been filtered by the system, he was familiar with the original plot and naturally knew what Mewtwo was asking, which was most likely "who am I".

This situation is quite similar to the plot of the movie he remembers called "Mewtwo Strikes Back".

This artificial Pokémon, born in Team Rocket's laboratory and possessing near-god-like power, ultimately caused the world-ending crisis in the movie because of its immense confusion and anger about the origin and meaning of its existence.

He escaped Team Rocket's control and did a series of outrageous things, even going so far as to create a world where only Pokémon existed.

In the end, it was Ash's intervention, which risked his life, that finally allowed Mewtwo to find some answers, abandon its original plans, and embark on a new journey to find itself...

However, this process was obviously quite painful and complicated. In Ling Feng's opinion, everything didn't have to be this way.

If such a thing were to happen in the real world, Ling Feng wouldn't even know whether it would be more terrifying for Mewtwo to be constantly controlled by Team Rocket, or for Mewtwo to stage a real-life "Mewtwo's Counterattack"...

Therefore, it is quite necessary for me to act as a psychologist and use the game to give Mewtwo some advance guidance based on the invitation card.

"So his biggest problem right now is definitely figuring out who he is..."

Ling Feng muttered to himself softly, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

If I could provide the answer directly, perhaps I could prevent it from going down that painful and dangerous path...

But Ling Feng immediately dismissed the thought as soon as it arose.

Say it directly?

This idea is clearly too naive.

Mewtwo is currently immersed in Team Rocket's incubator and is still in its early stages of development. Every "human" it comes into contact with is a creator who sees it as a tool and a weapon.

If a voice suddenly appeared in its mind at this moment, claiming to know everything about it, even Ling Feng would not believe it.

Not to mention Mewtwo, who is born with extremely high intelligence and is naturally suspicious.

Such behavior would definitely be judged by its suspicious and sharp mind as a more sophisticated manipulation or trap by the Rockets... making it extremely difficult for me to communicate with it again later.

So it definitely can't be me saying it myself...

As he pondered, Ling Feng's gaze returned to the floating system interface.

But aren't games...the best bridge for communication?

An excellent gaming laptop can convey the voice of its creator to the player, and the same is true for the Emerald I created.

The moment this idea came to mind, an even more successful plan instantly took shape in his mind.

Since I can't reveal my identity directly, why not just pretend to be customer service for this game system?

To take it even further, I'd be willing to be his gaming companion in the game world!

After all, Mewtwo's current understanding of this world is still beyond what Team Rocket has instilled in him, even though they have given him some basic information. The complex content within Emerald is definitely beyond his comprehension.

All I need to do next is to use the Emerald to carefully design some game content for it, subtly conveying clues and metaphors about its identity, allowing Mewtwo to use its powerful intelligence to think and uncover the truth.

In this way, the answer Mewtwo receives truly belongs to it and can be truly accepted by it.

Only then will he be able to know who he really is and what the meaning of his existence is.

Ling Feng didn't know what Mewtwo would think after playing with it all, but there was no doubt that it would be much better than him leaving Mewtwo alone.

So now only one question remains.

Can the system invitation card allow me to establish game-related communication with Mewtwo without revealing my real identity, acting as a customer service representative?

Actually, Ling Feng was still a little uneasy about this issue, since all the plans had to be based on this premise.

According to the system, he wasn't even allowed to obtain information and images about Mewtwo through an invitation card... He didn't know if this would even work...

However, the system's answer soon gave him a boost of confidence and made him breathe a sigh of relief.

[Returning to the host, of course.]

The system's response was very clear.

[When using an invitation card, the host can edit the push notification template and push limited text and specific data packets. All feedback will be filtered by the system; any information involving real-world coordinates and administrator identity will be automatically blocked. This effect is the same as the previous information confidentiality mechanism.]

Having received a positive reply, Ling Feng felt reassured. He now had a plan, and the invitation card was indeed feasible, but in practice, he would need to proceed with caution and meticulousness.

He quickly calmed down and began to think for himself.

Mewtwo's intelligence is among the highest of both humans and Pokémon, and this remains true even now that it's in its early stages. Therefore, every step it takes from now on needs to be carefully planned.

Even when playing the role of a mechanical customer service representative with little intelligence, you can't rush to give the answer to the question. Doing so would not only seem suspicious, but could also backfire and make Mewtwo doubt itself.

So, just as I just thought of, I need to use my advantage as a game developer to package the answer and then send it to him.

Ling Feng took a deep breath, turned on his computer, and opened the game's development backend.

It's time to add some unique Mewtwo-themed content to the game; after all, this is something players should be able to experience anyway...

Ling Feng quickly created an ancient legend about "dream" and a CG animation with a vague meaning called "Dream of Genes" by relying on his experience and the system's enhancement.

In summary, this CG uses a rather abstract approach to depict the origin of Pokémon and life, the freedom and wonder of dreams, and the potential and loneliness inherent in a new life "created" based on a "source".

This CG provides Mewtwo with keywords such as "mew," "genes," "creation," and "inheritance," which can help it better answer that question, but it does not explicitly mention "Mewtwo" itself, instead using mew to represent it.

After all, strictly speaking, Mew was a Pokémon directly created by Arceus. Unlike other Pokémon, it has no companions or parents; it is the only Mew in the world.

The purpose of this CG is not to send a direct message, but to open a window for Mewtwo, allowing it to see some scenery that attracts it.

Once everything was ready, Ling Feng used the invitation card function to reconnect with Mewtwo and begin his plan.

……

After a while.

A secluded island deep in the ocean.

Inside Team Rocket's secret research facility.

Mewtwo was immersed in the nutrient solution, its purple pupils reflecting the cold, dim light of the external instruments, seemingly lost in thought.

In its mind, the nail-like prompt, "Start playing?", rang out again, accompanied by background noise. It irritably prepared to ignore this incomprehensible harassment once more; thanks to its strong adaptability, it had even begun to get used to it.

However, in the next moment, something unexpected happened!

A completely different message suddenly and forcefully flooded into its mind!
This time, instead of the cold, mechanical text and voice, there were dynamic images!

It saw a vast forest, where sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns.

Deep in the jungle, on an ancient stone wall, amidst a blurred mural, a pink Pokémon with an elegant figure, a flowing long tail, and eyes sparkling with wisdom and a pink halo suddenly appears before the mural.

It blinked its eyes, and after a brief moment of confusion, suddenly smiled.

The Pokémon vanished from its spot in an instant, then reappeared in the nearby forest, frolicking and playing happily.

The pink Pokémon's tail streaked through the air, leaving a shimmering trail like stardust.

Not only that, Pokémon began to appear around it, and the appearance of this pink Pokémon began to change rapidly, sometimes turning into the exact same Pokémon as the one next to it!

At the same time, ethereal and ancient chants seemed to transcend time and space, accompanied by a poetic allegory, telling the story.

"The source of life", "The beginning of all things"...

"The dreams carried in our genes" and "the infinite possibilities given to us in form"...

Upon seeing this, Mewtwo's mind and consciousness were jolted!
This method of information transmission was completely beyond its comprehension, and its powerful superpowers instinctively tried to resist this sudden invasion.

Yet, the indescribable resonance contained within that fragment, seemingly originating from the depths of its blood, attracted its newly born consciousness like a magnet.

It sensed the freedom and power represented by the pink Pokémon in the picture, although it couldn't fully understand words like "genes," "creation," and "inheritance."
But its intuition told it that these words and images were related to the biggest mystery in its heart!

The pink figure, in particular, stirred a strange flutter within it.

It felt like irritability and disgust.

Yet it also seems to possess a powerful attraction, drawing it in by instinct and inner desire.

The next instant, before Mewtwo could react, all the images suddenly disappeared.

All that remains for Mewtwo is a hazy and illusory feeling.

And the text that asks, "Start the game?"

But it was precisely this feeling that sparked an unprecedented curiosity about the unknown...

This was the first time it had felt anything other than vigilance towards this voice, which had always been regarded as an auditory hallucination and harassment.

It didn't select the "yes" option, but it also stopped trying to get rid of the interface.

Mewtwo began to use its powerful brainpower to repeatedly replay and analyze that brief experience in its consciousness, trying to find the hidden answers in every scene and every detail.

……

At the same time, Ling Feng was intently watching the system interface.

The status, which had previously displayed "Waiting for response from target unit," suddenly changed to "Target unit is performing deep analysis of the push notification content!"

Immediately afterwards, a new notification popped up:
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have received a small amount of emotional energy conversion points from the special unit "Mewtwo". Emotion type: Confusion, Curiosity, Surprise. Total points: 300!]

Upon seeing this message, Ling Feng raised an eyebrow.

—Is this considered a success?
Although it was a small response, it was actually a huge breakthrough for Mewtwo.

This at least proves that Lingfeng's strategy was correct—Mewtwo not only received the information, but also actually started to think about it.

But this is clearly far from enough to achieve one's goals.

Ling Feng suppressed the urge to immediately press his advantage and push out more information, and instead waited quietly for a while.

In his past life, one of his favorite pastimes was fishing, which requires patience, and it still is now.

To catch a wary and intelligent big fish like Mewtwo, one must not be hasty.

After waiting quietly for a few minutes, Ling Feng made a new move.

He navigated the interface, edited a guide message that matched the game's prompts, and sent it via an invitation card:

[Promotional content tailored to players has been sent, but only 10% of the content has been distributed so far. For deeper information and more complete content, please experience the full game story and select "Start Game".]

Ling Feng deliberately set a threshold, linking deeper information with the active behavior of playing games.

This is both logical and not abrupt, and it can also increase Mewtwo's willingness to play games.

This will make it feel like it chose to explore everything, rather than passively accepting the game's instruction.

……

Meanwhile, in the petri dish, Mewtwo sensed this new guiding message.

"Deeper information...the complete game story..."

It has already understood the meaning of these word combinations.

The shock and intense feeling evoked by that scene about the pink Pokémon made it crave the "deeper information" mentioned in the text like never before.

This longing has almost overwhelmed its wariness of everything before it.

So, what could this be?
Is it a test for those who call themselves Team Rocket?

Or is it a carefully crafted trap designed for itself?

Its mind is racing, engaged in fierce debate.

Ultimately, the desire to know the ultimate question, "Who am I?" prevailed overwhelmingly.

Its nascent, powerful yet restless heart desperately needs a direction to move forward, desperately needs a piece of the puzzle to fill the gap.

Mewtwo has finally made a decision.

With a lingering caution and an irrepressible thirst for knowledge, Mewtwo cautiously used its powerful will to touch upon the option that had been troubling it since its awakening, but which was now incredibly alluring—

【yes】.
