Live Stream Treasure Appraisal: Your elf isn't thriving!

Chapter 655 Live Treasure Appraisal! Too Much Force? Fake Flash and Golden Berry? Trapinch can actually evolve!

Ye Yinchuan had a sudden thought and tried to activate his exclusive ability again.

He wants to conduct a "legend simulation" for this incomplete divine beast that has not yet been born!

However, just as he focused his mind on the Giratina egg, preparing to start the simulation...

A line of cold, emotionless text appeared in his mind.

[Warning: The exclusive ability "Legendary Simulation" is currently on cooldown.]

[Remaining cooldown: Will be lifted after ten live streams!]

Ye Yinchuan paused slightly.

"As expected—this level of ability can't be without limitations." Instead of being disappointed, he revealed a look of understanding.

If such an incredible ability could be used without limit, the entire balance would be broken, and he wouldn't need to do anything else; he could simply stay home and create a god.

This situation calmed him down a bit.

"As expected, a live streaming system can't function without live streaming."

He looked at the egg with its faint breath, his eyes slightly shimmering.

"Wait a moment, haste makes waste. The real legend is worth telling in detail."

Having temporarily shelved his plan to defy fate for Giratina, Ye Yinchuan turned his attention back to his regular work.

Although his trip to the Kunlun Ruins greatly boosted his reputation, making him the number one person in the industry and arguably "unrivaled throughout the ages," he still adheres to the principle of "never forgetting one's roots" and remains grounded in his approach to live streaming!

Three days later, Ye Yinchuan's live stream title quietly changed to: "Back to Basics, Online Chat, Identify Your Pokémon!"

hour.

The entire internet was set ablaze once again!

[Holy crap! It's the treasure appraisal segment! My favorite segment is finally back!]

[I'm so sad! The epic battles at the Kunlun Ruins were breathtaking, but I still prefer watching the interactions between the streamer and the hilarious netizens!]

[Back to the beginning of the broadcast! Host, I want to request a live chat! My Beedrill seems to be acting a bit rebellious lately!]

Forget about the previous methods; getting a live stream connection with a host now is as difficult as winning the lottery jackpot!

The live stream's popularity surpassed hundreds of millions the moment it started, and continues to climb at an incredible speed.

The barrage of requests to connect with other users was like a data flood, almost completely engulfing the entire screen.

Hello everyone, it's been a long time.

Ye Yinchuan appeared in front of the camera right on time, still looking relaxed and carefree, as if he wasn't the one who had stirred up global turmoil a few days ago.

"Today we're not talking about mythical creatures or legends; we're just talking about our closest companions. If you have any treasures, feel free to show them off!"

He skillfully operated the backend, randomly selecting requests to connect with other users.

Soon, the first lucky viewer was connected.

The scene shows a boy with a slightly childish face but exceptionally determined eyes. Behind him, a muscular physique is striking a bodybuilding pose with great confidence.

"Hello, host! I'm your biggest fan!" the boy exclaimed excitedly. "Please check my Magnum power!"

Ye Yinchuan did not take such a simple identification requirement lightly in the slightest.

His gaze fell on the Magnus.

Pokémon: Machoke

[Attribute: Fighting]

【Characteristic: Perseverance】

[Trait: Overly aggressive]

This Pokémon tends to overdo things, often resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes. If it learns to stop, it can perform exceptionally well.

"The characteristics of perseverance, the stubborn personality, plus this trait—the more effort he puts in, the less willing he is to give up—he's a truly fascinating fellow."

Ye Yinchuan immediately saw the problem with this Haoli.

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining.

This is both a weakness and a strength of this Magnus if properly trained.

"You have great potential, you're a good prospect." Ye Yinchuan nodded with a smile. "However, I think you must be having a headache, right? Your Haoli is clearly working very hard, but he always stumbles and falls."

"Really?" the boy asked, puzzled. "Isn't everyone like that? Especially me and my Machoke, mediocre Pokémon, mediocre trainers?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan was taken aback.

That makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

"Actually, your strength is quite outstanding. But because of your personality, you always overdo things. As we Chinese say, too much of a good thing is bad."

First of all, you, as a trainer, need to correct your mindset. Many things we don't do well aren't necessarily due to insufficient effort; it could also be due to overexertion!

"Secondly, during training, you must teach it to be moderate. If you could do 10 points before, reduce it to 8 points. After a while, see the results, and you will thank me."

[So profound? How did you arrive at this conclusion? Did you just randomly apply some grand theory?]

[Upstairs, this is a Kirby appraisal item, please put away your doubts!]

Just as psychology experts can read a person's thoughts through their eyes, facial expressions, and micro-gestures, the broadcaster must have a keen eye for detail!

The boy pondered Ye Yinchuan's words for a moment, recalling some past experiences, and suddenly realized, "So, I misunderstood, used the wrong training methods, and hindered this child's talent?"

He thanked them repeatedly, completely satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, a second live stream was connected.

This time, the scene shifts to a lavishly decorated room. A well-dressed middle-aged man is proudly showing the camera a wobbly spotted bird that is swaying in place.

Unlike ordinary swirls, the spots on this swirl have a strange, shimmering metallic gold color.

"Mr. Snorlax, what do you think of my Pokémon?" the middle-aged man boasted. "This is a one-of-a-kind Shiny Spinda, which I bought at a high price from a collector in a remote area!"

Flashing, shimmering spots? I've never seen this color before!

Wow, he walks like he's drunk, so cute!

Ye Yinchuan's gaze sharpened slightly.

Pokémon: Spinny

【Attribute: Normal】

【Characteristic: Independent and unconventional】

[Trait: None]

[Status: Healthy / Hair stained with Jin Ke's juice]

"Sir, your Spinda is indeed very special." A playful smile appeared on Ye Yinchuan's lips. "But it's not a true Shiny Pokémon."

"What?!" The middle-aged man's expression changed.

"It must have accidentally eaten a rare berry called 'Golden Fruit'," Ye Yinchuan explained. "The sap of that berry has an extremely strong dyeing ability, which can make a Pokémon's fur have a golden sheen for a period of time. But don't be too disappointed, Golden Fruit is just as rare as a Shiny Pokémon."

The middle-aged man's expression shifted from surprise to embarrassment, and finally to a wry smile. After thanking him, he hurriedly hung up the video call.

[Haha, what a massive anti-counterfeiting operation!]

[Host: The flashing lights are fake, but the money you were scammed out of might be real.]

[Golden Grain Tree Fruit? I've learned something strange again!]

Two brief but interesting live stream interactions instantly ignited the atmosphere in the chat room.

Just then, an unusual live stream request caught Ye Yinchuan's attention.

The reason for the application was just one sentence: "Help! My Pokémon is going to eat my house!"

"Oh?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Ye Yinchuan's eyes, and he answered the request without hesitation.

The camera shakes slightly, and a young man wearing a hard hat, looking somewhat disheveled, appears in front of the lens. His background appears to be a construction site, surrounded by a vast desert.

"Answerer! You finally answered my call!" The young man was so excited when he saw Ye Yinchuan that he almost cried. "Please help me figure out what's going on!"

He turned the camera around.

Beside the foundation of the construction site, in the center of a huge, funnel-shaped sand pit, a Pokémon that looked like an ant or a turtle but had an enormous, orange, spherical head was frantically gnawing at a newly poured load-bearing column mixed with special minerals with its two jaws that were comparable to the giant jaws of an excavator!

"The crisp, teeth-grinding click sound was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the microphone."

The hard, special concrete was easily bitten off like a crisp biscuit in its mouth, and then chewed and swallowed with relish.

A mandible-like ant!

Holy crap! That's a huge mouth!

With teeth like that, even Old Man De would have to offer him a cigarette!

I finally understand what it means to eat up a house; this guy is so pitiful!

"Host, my name is Liang Chen, and I'm an architect," the young man introduced, his face contorted with tears. "This project is an eco-architecture I poured my heart and soul into, something I wanted to build in the desert. But ever since this mandible-toothed ant appeared two weeks ago, my project has come to a complete standstill!"

"I feed it top-tier energy cubes, but it won't eat them! I lure it with berries, but it won't even glance at them! It's fixated on me, coming to gnaw on me every day, and I can't get rid of it! If this keeps up, I'll never be able to build my house in my lifetime!"

Liang Chen's tone was filled with despair.

Ye Yinchuan looked at the mandible ant that was engrossed in eating, but his eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

Pokémon: Trapinch

[Attribute: Ground]

【Characteristic: Sand Hole】

[Status: Hungry (craving for specific minerals) / Building evolutionary energy]

[Trait: Foodie]

This mandible ant has an exceptionally keen sense of smell for high-quality food, and by consuming the food it approves of, it can quickly obtain the nutrients it needs for evolution!

"foodie?"

Upon seeing this entry, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but smile.

He finally understood the persistence of this mandible ant.

It's not causing destruction, but rather searching for the best "nutrients" for its own evolution!

"Mr. Liang, don't be anxious," Ye Yinchuan reassured him. "Not only do you not need to drive it away, you should feel fortunate."

"Luckily?" Liang Chen looked completely bewildered. "Are you kidding, streamer? It was going to bankrupt me!"

"Because you've encountered a mandible ant with considerable potential," Ye Yinchuan said with a hint of amusement. "Moreover, it's a top-tier gourmet with an almost obsessive pursuit of nutrition."

"A gourmet?" Liang Chen was even more confused.

How did I become a food critic?

[Does the streamer mean the house this person built is delicious?]

[Does this mean Pokémon now crave visual appeal and delicious taste, treating houses like cakes?]

Ye Yinchuan explained in detail: "The evolution of the mandible ant requires the absorption of mineral energy from the earth. The building materials you used must be very special, and may very well contain a very rare and high-quality mineral. This mineral is the key to its evolution."

"The reason it disdains the other food you prepared is that, in the eyes of this gourmet, those are just ordinary 'plain meals,' while your foundation is the true 'national banquet delicacy.'"

This simple and easy-to-understand analogy made Liang Chen and the viewers in the live broadcast room instantly realize the truth.

"So that's how it is?" Liang Chen looked at the mandible ant that was still making "crunching" sounds, his eyes becoming complicated.

He initially thought the other party was there to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, they were there to obtain the key nutrients needed for evolution.

"Then—what should I do?" Liang Chen asked. "I can't just let it eat all my hard work, can I?"

"Of course not," Ye Yinchuan laughed. "It's better to guide than to block. I suggest you immediately contact a professional geological exploration team to search for natural veins of 'sandstone' in this desert."

"Instead of letting it gnaw on your processed products," why not take it directly to the source of the mine and let it eat its fill of the freshest raw materials?

"This—" Liang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up!

Yup!

How could he not have thought of that!

"Host, you mean—"

"Subdue it." Ye Yinchuan's voice was full of seductive power. "It's just following its instincts right now. If you can provide it with better food and help it evolve, it will definitely regard you as its most trustworthy partner."

"You know, mandible ants capable of evolution are extremely rare. And this one, given enough materials, could quickly evolve into an ultrasonic larva, or even the ultimate desert dragonfly!"

"Imagine a future where you have a powerful companion soaring above the desert—a desert dragonfly. At that time, let alone building a house in the desert, it will become your most capable assistant, even if you want to build a sky city."

What? Desert dragonflies evolved from mandible ants?

[Another major news story has suddenly broken!]

[Damn, wasn't it said that Trapinch doesn't have an evolved form?! Is it just that evolving it is too difficult?!]

The vision contained in Ye Yinchuan's words unfolded slowly before Liang Chen like a magnificent scroll.

As he watched the mandible ant relentlessly gnawing at the foundation in its pursuit of evolution, his frustration and helplessness were replaced by a surge of intense excitement and longing.

These are hardly troublemakers or vandals.

This is clearly the best gift and companion bestowed upon him by God!

"I understand! Host! I completely understand!" Liang Chen's breathing became rapid. He bowed deeply to the camera. "Thank you! Thank you so much! You not only saved my project, but also showed me a completely new path!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone, picked up a geological hammer and a detector from the side, and excitedly ran towards the distant desert.

Judging from his posture, he was actually going to personally search for the legendary top-quality ingredients for his "foodie partner"!

An impending conflict between humans and their pets was resolved in just a few words from Ye Yinchuan, and it became the beginning of a wonderful destiny.

And this is precisely the most captivating bond between Pokémon and humans.

The live stream continued, and Ye Yinchuan looked at the countless flashing requests for connecting on the screen, a smug smile on his face.

He knew that there were many more people and Pokémon who needed his help!
