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

Chapter 224 A special module worth one million points, Mewtwo's reconnection?
In the most inconspicuous corner of the interface, a module without any text description, icon preview, or price tag lies there quietly.

Ling Feng subconsciously tapped it with his mind.

A notification popped up.

[Note: Unlocking this special module requires 1000000 Emotion Points.]

"what?"

Ling Feng gasped, staring blankly at the message, completely dumbfounded.

One million?! Emotional points?!
He felt a little dazed. Unlocking the entire advanced module area had only cost him 50,000 points, which was already a huge sum of money.

What kind of module can match such astronomical consumption?
Could it be that it can directly create mythical beasts?
Or should we digitize the entire world and cram it into the game?
People can be rebellious sometimes. If you dared to set the price at 50,000 points, Ling Feng might think it's too expensive.

But if you dare to price it at one million, then I really need to see what makes you think you can sell it for such a high price.

He was genuinely curious, but putting it another way, the point requirement was... a bit too intimidating, wasn't it?
Ling Feng glanced helplessly at his pitiful points balance—after unlocking the advanced zone, he only had a meager little over ten thousand points left. That amount wasn't even enough to buy the Rainbow Module, let alone the cheapest modules in the advanced zone.

Forget it.

He shook his head, temporarily suppressing his intense curiosity about the rainbow module.

Thinking about it now is pointless.

Let's just stick to doing tasks, releasing new games, and earning more points.

Anyway, the speed at which I can earn points is getting faster and faster. At this rate of growth, I'll be able to accumulate 100 million sooner or later!

His attention returned to the special reward module that the system had given him when he unlocked the advanced zone. He hadn't looked at it carefully because he was distracted by the rainbow module earlier.

[Special Advanced Module: "Regional Morphology & Concept Expansion Pack"]

[Introduction as follows]

[Basic Effects: After using this module, your game will automatically generate a large number of random terrain and ecological environment tiles. In addition, the game's world view and ecological environment will be extended and automatically expanded without limit, with a chance to bring new appearances and new regional Pokémon.]

[Advanced Effects:]

【1. Terrain Blueprint Library: Input ecological environment keywords (such as "volcano/rainforest/maglev city") to automatically generate several differentiated 3D terrain schemes】

[2. Food Chain Calculator: If the game design requires a more natural and primitive feel, after setting the basic Pokémon species, it automatically generates the complete food chain for that area (type advantage/disadvantage chain/habitat distribution/day and night behavior logic)]

[3. Terrain Scan and Copy: You can use this module to scan the entire world you are currently in, understand all the terrain and special blocks belonging to this world, automatically generate game content to copy into the game, or view it as a map.]

[4. You gain double the Emotion Points from games that use content generated by this module. Furthermore, once you accumulate 100,000 Emotion Points through this bonus, you can unlock the next special effect for this module.]

[Currently earned additional mood points: 0]

After reading the prompts for this module, Ling Feng's eyes lit up.

As expected of a special advanced module, the effect is truly impressive.

The basic effects are essentially a super map generator plus a Pokémon-themed expansion pack, saving a lot of time and effort in manually designing the world background and ecosystem. The terrain blueprint library and ecosystem calculator further simplify the underlying logic of game design, making it a boon for lazy... no, for efficient developers!

However, what satisfied him the most was actually the third effect—terrain scanning and copying!
Scan the current world terrain and automatically generate game content or a map?
Doesn't this mean that no matter which world you travel to using the story travel scroll, you can instantly obtain the perfect map of that world?
This feature is incredibly convenient, whether you're creating a Pokémon game based on the real world or simply checking the world's conditions, terrain, and finding special locations.

As for its use in games... Ling Feng immediately thought of the upcoming "Time Rescue Team".

Doesn't a game with maze exploration and randomized terrain as its core gameplay need robust map generation and ecological diversity?

This module has arrived at just the right time.

Now we're just waiting for the DreamWorks programmers and game developers to send over their final product.

When the time comes, we can add this module as soon as possible.

Just as Ling Feng was pondering, the system notification sounded again:
[Ding! Host has received a new special mission]

[S-Rank Mission: Traffic Generation? Top-Tier Streaming!]

[Make your game attract one million non-trainer players]

[Mission Rewards: 20000 Emotion Points, 1 SS-Rank Special Pokémon Item Blueprint, 1 Special System High-Level Item Chest]

Ling Feng glanced at the requirements of the new mission and was momentarily stunned.

One million for non-trainer players?

He stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

This is indeed a bit challenging compared to traditional Pokémon games like Emerald and Black & White, which focus on becoming a trainer, challenging the League, and acquiring and encountering various Pokémon.

Although the game itself is groundbreaking, the main players it attracts are undoubtedly those who aspire to the life of a trainer or are already trainers themselves.

Ordinary citizens, researchers, and people like Joey Jungsa might play it, but it's really difficult to reach a million players.

But what if it were Pokémon Rescue Team?

What is the core concept of this game series? Players take on the role of the Pokémon themselves! They are a rescue team composed of Pokémon!
It has absolutely nothing to do with human trainers, catching and battling.

The goal of the game is to explore dungeons, rescue Pokémon in distress, solve various puzzles, and make new friends.

This gameplay and theme inherently break the limitations of the identity of a "trainer".

An ordinary citizen may not be very interested in commanding Pokémon battles, but would he like to play as a cute Pikachu or Bulbasaur, adventuring in dungeons and helping other Pokémon?

Would a scholar who studies Pokémon ecology be interested in exploring the ecology of unknown mazes?

Therefore, Time Rescue Team definitely has the potential to spread the charm of Pokémon beyond the trainer community!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng immediately picked up his communicator and dialed the number of the person in charge of promoting "Emerald".

Emerald is currently at its peak in popularity, and Phantom of the Dark Souls is also performing well, making it the perfect time to promote the new game.

I need to quickly arrange the publicity and distribution for "Rescue Team" and pay the deposit while I'm at it.

"Hello? Is this you? I remember you! This is the number!"

The call was answered almost instantly, and an excited voice, almost cracking, came through. The background noise seemed a bit noisy, like it was coming from some lively place.

“It’s me, I’m here to pay the deposit, regarding the promotion of the new game Time Rescue Team…” Ling Feng had just started to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.

"Promotion? No problem! Absolutely no problem! Don't worry, brother, leave it to me! This time, I'll make sure it's perfect, even better than last time, trust me!" The other person's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and they spoke rapidly. "Deposit? No, no, no! Please don't mention money! It's an honor for our company to promote your game again! Please, this time, you must let me do it! Don't ask anyone else!"

His reaction was completely different from his initial businesslike and even somewhat skeptical attitude when they discussed the promotion of emeralds last time.

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

When he promoted emeralds last time, the other party probably just thought he was a wealthy person with some ideas, and accepted the order with a try-it-and-see attitude.

Emerald has now ignited the entire Pokémon world! As the earliest and largest promoter, the person in charge and his team are now incredibly famous and making a fortune.

It's likely that even the official league has contacted them to inquire about this mysterious game and its creators.

Now that Ling Feng has taken the initiative to come to his door to promote his new work, for the other party, this is no longer a business deal, but a tremendous opportunity and honor!
No wonder they didn't even want the money anymore; they were afraid of having to ask someone else for help.

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you.” Ling Feng didn’t stand on ceremony and readily agreed. “I’ll send you the relevant information later. Remember, this time the target audience should cover as many non-trainer groups as possible. I want more people to see this game.”

"Understood! I guarantee I'll complete the mission! Just you wait and see!" The other party patted his chest and assured him, his enthusiasm almost overflowing from the microphone.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng was in a good mood. He didn't need to worry about promotion for now; next, he just had to wait for the finished product of "Rescue Team," and... see how Mewtwo was doing.

The thought of Mewtwo stirred something within Ling Feng.

Since that intense mental shock at the Rock Gym, he hasn't been able to check on Mewtwo's status using the invitation card again.

I wonder how Mewtwo is doing now.

With a hint of curiosity and barely perceptible concern, Ling Feng activated the invitation card again.

He had tried many times before, but all of them ended in failure, so he had to give up.

But this time... the invitation card was successfully activated!
In other words, Mewtwo is playing a game!

His consciousness reconnected to the virtual screen. The screen lit up, and Mewtwo's game character was standing deep inside a dimly lit cave.

His figure seemed to carry a subtle, almost imperceptible weariness, not physical, but more like a mental state.

The sense of confusion that had eased after the battle at the Rock Gym seemed to have returned, or even intensified, at this moment.

Clearly, Mewtwo has been undergoing some training with Team Rocket recently. It might be special training or research. Ling Feng doesn't know what it is, but it's definitely not something good.

Seeing Mewtwo like this, he even wanted to ask about its condition and what it had been through during this time.

But he could only hold back—he was now playing the role of a system assistant, a cold guide, not a close friend.

Actively inquiring about the player's emotional state... this doesn't seem like something a game system would do.

In order to continue to gain Mewtwo's trust, he could only continue to observe in silence.

At this moment, Mewtwo seemed to have just snapped out of some deep thought. He controlled his character, his gaze sweeping over his companions in their Poké Balls beside him—a Mudkip that had evolved into a Swampkip, and a Beedrill.

That gaze was complex, carrying both scrutiny and a hint of confusion.

In the end, he did nothing, but silently withdrew his gaze and continued to control his character to walk deeper into the cave.

What happened next surprised Ling Feng slightly.

Mewtwo's command and judgment abilities have clearly improved to a higher level compared to its time at the Rock Gym.

His movement routes remain efficient and precise, but his choices in combat are more flexible and varied, and he has become increasingly adept at using attribute advantages and skill effects.

The trainers he encountered in the cave, regardless of whether they used Rock-type or other types of Pokémon, were almost powerless against his Mudkip's Water-type moves and Beedrill's Poison Sting and Slash attacks, and the battles ended quickly.

He made rapid progress, quickly completing the entire storyline of the Rock Cave, defeating the final trainer, and reaching the bottom of the cave.

Like most trainers, he was drawn by the faint, mysterious aura emanating from the depths of the cave and guided his character toward the open area.

Then, he encountered it.

The CG started playing.

The massive, ancient body, made of hard rock, exudes an ancient and heavy sense of oppression.

From the cracks in the rocks, a ruby-like light faintly shines through—the sleeping Regirock!
The game character Mewtwo appears so small in comparison.

But Mewtwo's true form on the screen suddenly sharpened its purple eyes.

He did not immediately choose to fight or flee.

Ling Feng could sense that an invisible, powerful spiritual force seemed to penetrate everything, assessing the legendary being before him.

A moment later, Mewtwo's thoughts, imbued with confidence, were conveyed:

[Energy assessment...composition analysis...threat level determination...]

[Conclusion: The target possesses strength, but it is weak.]

weak?
Ling Feng shrugged as he watched this scene.

That's true. Although Regirock is newly born and its power may not be fully awakened yet, as a legendary Pokémon created at the pinnacle of genetic engineering and possessing almost limitless potential, it is simply not something that a second-tier legendary Pokémon like Regirock can compete with.

However, it must be said that Mewtwo was able to sense and judge Regirock's strength even through the game, which shows how powerful his mental strength is.

In the game, after discovering that Regirock was not moving, Mewtwo, controlling the character, took one last look at the sleeping Regirock before turning around and leaving the cave.

His goal was clear: to head to the next dojo location—Booth Town.

Martial Arts Dojo, Fighting-Style Dojo

The gym leader is Fujiki, who is also an expert in Fighting-type moves.

The Pokémon used by the trainers in the gym were all Fighting-type: Machop, Makuhime, and Martha.
Beedrill has both the +Poison attribute and four times the resistance to Fighting-type moves!

The Fighting-type moves from those trainers didn't do any damage to Beedrill at all.

However, Beedrill's stinger and wing attacks can cause a lot of damage.

Mewtwo cleared out these NPCs more easily than in the rock cave, and Beedrill almost swept through the entire gym's preliminary challengers with overwhelming force.

Soon, Mewtwo stood in front of the Gym Leader, Sion.
