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

Chapter 659 Bai Zhi's Dark Sweet Chicken Soup? The Pink Halo on the Lake? Can it Affect People's Emotions?

After the live broadcast ended, Ye Yinchuan immediately went to the Elf Paradise.

The Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise rushed over to greet them immediately, practically giving them a warm welcome.

Ye Yinchuan embraced two adorable pets, petting and nuzzling them, thoroughly enjoying the pleasures of their cuteness.

However, his most precious possession is still that Giratina egg, which is still being nourished but whose life force is weak.

"Ten live streams—" he murmured to himself, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation and a touch of helplessness.

The cooldown of [Legendary Simulation] prevented him from temporarily turning the tide for Giratina.

But we have to proceed step by step; there's no time to rush it.

"The moment of perception."

Ye Yinchuan silently reminded himself of this.

It was evening.

Ye Yinchuan arranged to meet Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi carried a thermos and held it out to Ye Yinchuan: "This is a specialty from my hometown. Although you're used to eating delicacies, you don't mind trying it, do you?"

"What is it? It smells a little sweet? And it smells like meat?"

Ye Yinchuan has very keen senses, including his sense of smell.

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough."

Bai Zhi opened the container herself and found that it contained black chicken soup.

It wasn't the kind of black that you'd find in culinary disasters; instead, it had an alluring color, garnished with goji berries and other nourishing herbs. The black chicken soup, with oil floating on top, was strangely appealing.

"This is----"

Ye Yinchuan, on the other hand, found it novel.

"I don't know the exact name, but it's chicken soup, made with rock sugar, cooked in a pressure cooker, it's sweet, and I heard it's very nutritious, would you like to try some?"

Ye Yinchuan ordered some meat, and Bai Zhi also prepared two pieces of high-quality chicken leg meat for him, skin and all, in a dark, sweet broth.

The chicken skin is delicate and tender, and the meat is springy and chewy. Eating the meat while drinking the soup, warm and comforting, leaves a wonderful sensation in the mouth and throat.

It's very comfortable.

It's sweet but not cloying, with the unique aroma of medicinal herbs, and the fresh and delicious flavor of chicken is perfectly blended together.

Wow! That's great!

Ye Yinchuan was somewhat amazed.

I never imagined that Angelica dahurica had such a secret recipe.

When he asked why she hadn't taken it out sooner, Bai Zhi replied shyly that her family used to make it when she was a child.

Ye Yinchuan understood immediately. Wasn't he implying that only true family members could taste this?

He immediately began to eat meat and drink soup heartily, feeling happy and warm inside. His gaze towards Bai Zhi seemed to carry a hint of sweetness.

"But speaking of which, you and that Dragon Queen Ling Zhu had a very pleasant collaboration this time, didn't you? Tell me, isn't she prettier and more capable than me?"

Bai Zhi's sudden, probing question nearly made Ye Yinchuan choke. As he swallowed a mouthful of chicken, his mind raced: "We're just strangers, business partners. You're unique; how can she compare to you, darling?"

The next day, Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi decided to go to the cinema to watch a newly released Pokémon movie.

"Grass Pokémon Masters?" Bai Zhi looked at the movie poster, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What kind of movie is this? Is it a documentary?"

"It's not a documentary," Ye Yinchuan smiled. "It's an animated film featuring a Grass-type trainer. It's said to be very inspiring, telling the story of how a Grass-type trainer and his Pokémon partners gradually become a true master!"

The movie theater was packed with people. Many parents had brought their children, and there were quite a few couples. Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi found a corner seat and sat down.

During the movie, the two occasionally whispered and laughed, and eventually had a discussion about the film.

"What a pity, in the end the main character's Serpent actually went into seclusion in the mountains."

"I feel that the director handled the details of the emotional scene in the middle a bit problematic. Although I understand what he wanted to express, it just felt awkward."

After watching the movie, the two went for a stroll in the nearby shopping street.

"Xiao Chuan, what do you think of this dress?" Bai Zhi picked up a uniquely designed dress and held it up against herself.

"Beautiful." Ye Yinchuan exclaimed sincerely.

"You always say it looks good, but it's never original!" Bai Zhi complained. "Your taste in fashion is even worse than my cat, Tilly!"

"Meow~" Tire jumped on Bai Zhi's shoulder, as if agreeing with her owner.

Just then, a young fan rushed over, excitedly shouting, "Kirby Jianbao! It really is you! I love your streams so much!"

Ye Yinchuan smiled and posed for photos with fans, signing autographs. However, the appearance of fans quickly attracted an even larger crowd.

"It's Kirby's Pokémon!"

"Look! It's the man who saved the world!"

"Who's that next to him? His girlfriend? She's so pretty!"

The crowd grew larger and larger, and soon Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi were completely surrounded.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly pulled Ye Yinchuan away, and with the help of the mall security guards, they were able to escape from the crowd.

"It seems your fame is really growing," Bai Zhi joked with a smile, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Yes," Ye Yinchuan shook his head helplessly, "but it's a good thing to be liked by everyone."

As night fell, Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi decided to spend the night at a luxury hotel in the city center.

The room was filled with a faint scent of aromatherapy. After washing up, Bai Zhi, wearing a soft silk nightgown, sat by the window, gazing at the dazzling night view outside.

"Xiao Chuan, look, that star is so bright," Bai Zhi said softly, pointing to a star in the night sky.

Ye Yinchuan walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair, and walked to Bai Zhi's side, gently hugging her from behind.

"Even the brightest star can't compare to the light in your eyes," Ye Yinchuan whispered in her ear.

"Ugh, what a cheesy pickup line."

Bai Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned around and nestled in Ye Yinchuan's arms. The atmosphere became ambiguous and warm.

Just then, "ring ring ring"

Ye Yinchuan's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was a special line from the alliance headquarters.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Ye Yinchuan smiled helplessly, got up and walked to the side to answer the call.

"Mr. Kirby, I'm so sorry to bother you so late." A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone. "We've just detected abnormal energy fluctuations in several famous lakes within China, with even a visible pink halo. Furthermore, we've noticed that nearby Pokémon are becoming unusually agitated, even somewhat chaotic. Our initial assessment suggests it might be related to some kind of—powerful Pokémon."

"Lakes? Pokémon?" Ye Yinchuan frowned slightly. He had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say them out loud.

"Yes, the energy fluctuations are very peculiar, seemingly carrying some kind of—spiritual influence," the person on the other end of the phone continued. "We've already dispatched an investigation team, but there's been no progress so far. Do you have any leads on this?"

"There are no clear leads yet," Ye Yinchuan replied cautiously. "However, I will keep an eye on this information."

Please be careful and do not take unnecessary risks.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yinchuan returned to Bai Zhi's side.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Bai Zhi asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's just that the League has detected some unusual energy fluctuations and suspects that a powerful, unknown Pokémon has appeared," Ye Yinchuan said casually, not wanting Bai Zhi to worry.

"I see." Bai Zhi nodded, snuggling into Ye Yinchuan's arms again, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Ye Yinchuan knew perfectly well that the "abnormal energy fluctuations in the lake" and "mental influence" mentioned in the Alliance's phone call were no accident.

This likely points to an event related to some legendary Pokémon from the lake.

Pink, blue, and yellow—the images of three lake sprites flashed through his mind.

However, his attention returned to the present moment; his beloved was right in front of him, how could he be distracted?

After a night of intimacy, Ye Yinchuan started his live stream early the next morning.

[Exploring the strange changes in China's lakes, a powerful unknown Pokémon may have appeared!]

The title of the live stream instantly attracted the attention of viewers worldwide.

[Could it be that the streamer has received some kind of tip-off again?]

[A strange thing happened in the lake? It seems to be related to Water-type Pokémon?]

Is there a chance to meet Suicune?

Ye Yinchuan appeared in front of the camera, dressed in outdoor adventure attire, with his most loyal companion—Snorlax—standing beside him.

After being tempered by the "Legendary Simulation," Snorlax's aura became even deeper, and its eyes shone with the light of wisdom and power. Although its appearance was still憨厚 (honest and simple), its imposing presence made everyone feel its extraordinary nature.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kirby's Appraisal."

Ye Yinchuan's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the microphone.

"Last night, I received an urgent notification from the Alliance that several famous lakes in China have experienced abnormal energy fluctuations, and these energy fluctuations are suspected of having some effect on people's emotions."

He then changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "So, besides doing the live broadcast, I also came here with a mission."

[Oh wow, these days streamers don't even act anymore, they just leave everything out in front of them!]

You've really gone all out with your show-off act!

Ye Yinchuan smiled at the comments but didn't explain much. He knew that sometimes "it goes without saying" was more convincing than "a long explanation".

"Our destination now is Xingyue Lake, located in southwestern China, known as the 'Pearl of the Plateau.'" Ye Yinchuan pointed to the direction behind him, where a specially supplied aircraft from the Alliance was prepared specifically for this mission.

Lake Starmoon is named for its crescent-shaped surface and the stunning reflection of stars in its waters at night. It is also a habitat for Water and Flying-type Pokémon, boasting an exceptionally rich ecosystem.

"According to the Alliance's initial monitoring, Star Moon Lake is one of the locations where the energy fluctuations were most intense and where anomalies first appeared."

Ye Yinchuan explained, "Moreover, local residents have reported that the wild Pokémon near the lake have recently become unusually irritable, and have even attacked humans. This is unprecedented."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the adorable yet dignified Snorlax beside him.

"Of course, with my Snorlax around, everyone doesn't need to worry about safety."

"Click!"

Snorlax let out a deep roar in response. Although the voice still sounded somewhat lazy, it was full of majesty and aura.

The aircraft quickly started up, carrying Ye Yinchuan, Snorlax, and several League professionals, and sped towards Star Moon Lake.

Upon arriving above Xingyue Lake, Ye Yinchuan sensed something amiss.

Through the aircraft's porthole, the lake, which should have been as calm as a mirror, was now shimmering with a faint pink halo visible to the naked eye.

This halo was not a refraction of natural light, but a pure energy glow, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.

What's even more unsettling is the constant roar of Pokémon echoing from the lakeside forest. The sounds, filled with anger, fear, and chaos, shatter the tranquility of the highland lake.

"Mr. Kirby, the situation is more serious than we thought."

An alliance technician pointed to the violently fluctuating energy readings on the instrument panel, his face grave. "These energy fluctuations have a very strong psychological impact. Our first ground survey team has experienced varying degrees of emotional breakdown and has been forced to withdraw."

"Out of control of emotions?" Ye Yinchuan frowned. This coincided with his guess last night.

"Yes, some team members became unusually irritable and aggressive, even attacking their teammates; others fell into extreme sadness and despair, unable to extricate themselves," the technicians added. "We suspect that this is a special kind of mental energy that can influence the emotions of living beings."

Ye Yinchuan nodded, then looked at Snorlax: "Snorlax, did you sense anything?"

"Kah-hmm—" Snorlax closed its eyes, its huge nose twitching gently, as if trying to catch the invisible scent in the air. After a moment, it opened its eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in its squinty eyes, which then became resolute.

It stretched out its huge claws, pointed them towards the center of the lake, and let out a low growl, its voice tinged with a hint of wariness.

"It's pointing towards the center of the lake," Ye Yinchuan told the technicians. "Descend the altitude and prepare to land. We'll begin our investigation from the lakeshore."

The aircraft slowly landed in an open area not far from the lake. The hatch opened, and a rush of air, mixed with fresh water vapor and eerie mental fluctuations, rushed out.

Ye Yinchuan stepped out first, followed closely by Snorlax. The moment he set foot on the ground, Ye Yinchuan felt an invisible pressure directly affecting his mental state.

He took a deep breath, trying to stay clear-headed. The surrounding trees seemed to be affected by this energy, their branches and leaves moving without wind, making a rustling sound like countless whispers.

"Mr. Kirby, are you alright?" the technician asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Ye Yinchuan shook his head. "This spiritual energy is indeed very powerful. It seems to amplify the negative emotions of living beings, making them feel irritable, uneasy, and even desperate."

He turned to look at Snorlax, whose face also showed an unusually serious expression.

Ye Yinchuan turned on his live streaming equipment and pointed the camera at the lake.

"As you can see, a faint pink halo surrounds the lake. This is not ordinary mist, but rather formed by some kind of powerful spiritual energy."

Ye Yinchuan's voice, transmitted through the microphone into the live broadcast room, carried a unique calming power: "I can feel the influence of this energy; it's trying to interfere with my emotions."

Wow! Even the streamer felt the impact! What kind of mythical beast is this?!

[This feels a bit oppressive, streamer, could you please move away?]

In Ye Yinchuan's live stream, the wild Pokémon by the lake were indeed in a state of chaos, just as the technicians had said.

Several normally docile Marills are now attacking each other, with water guns and crashing sounds echoing all around.

A flock of proud swallows circled in the air, not to hunt, but to chase and bite each other, their feathers flying everywhere.

"These Pokémon were all affected by that spiritual energy," Ye Yinchuan explained. "Their negative emotions were amplified, leading to a loss of control over their behavior. This suggests that the source of this energy may be related to emotions."

As he spoke, he walked along the lakeshore, with Snorlax guarding him closely.

Suddenly, Ye Yinchuan stopped in his tracks, staring intently at a certain spot on the lake.
