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

Chapter 686 Exclusive Move "Flesh Shake"! A Psychic Fish Pokémon that survives even when only its skeleton remains, and is even stronger!

What does that mean? If you don't kill the fish, how will you eat the meat?

I get it! Is it a case of the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman benefits?

It's actually quite possible—

So the question is, what kind of interesting show can we expect from this?

The audience had a lively discussion about Ye Yinchuan's "riddle".

The silver carp's plump body undulated gently with the waves, its purplish-red fins occasionally flapping, like an old man soaking in a hot spring.

In stark contrast, a barracuda was sprinting at full speed 300 meters away.

The silver streak cleaved the sea at an alarming straight speed, leaving a long white trail in the water. It was so fast that even the warship's optical observation system briefly lost track of it.

"The barracuda's straight-line sprint speed can reach over 180 kilometers per hour," Ye Yinchuan said, holding up a finger to the camera. "In the ocean, it's like a living torpedo. But it has a fatal flaw: it can only move in a straight line, with virtually no turning ability. Moreover, its eyesight is extremely poor, relying entirely on sensory organs on the sides of its body to locate its prey. Once it locks onto a target, it charges forward without hesitation."

[I'm confused, so shouldn't it be the barracuda hunting the silver carp? Why is the barracuda running?]

[Hilarious! Even with terrible eyesight, it's impossible to be completely in the wrong direction, right?]

[Wait, the streamer just said that the silver-armored fish has a psychic attribute—could this be some kind of foreshadowing?]

To 3

[What the hell is this silver armored fish? You'd think it was a turtle if you didn't know better!]

Looking at the comments, Ye Yinchuan smiled without saying a word; the live stream's popularity was soaring.

The speed of the barracuda is still increasing.

Its body forcefully cleaved the sea surface, creating a wave half a meter high.

Just as the barracuda was about to disappear below the horizon, the "fat fish" moved.

It's not about roaming or dodging.

It started spinning in place.

The speed starts from zero and then increases rapidly.

His entire body was like a spinning top at high speed, creating a whirlpool in the seawater.

Then, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The meat is flying.

Large, bright red pieces of fish meat with distinct textures were peeled off the silver-armored fish and flung in all directions by centrifugal force!

The once round and plump body shrank to an unbelievable size in less than three seconds.

To be precise, only the skeleton remains!

The skeleton of this fish-shaped Pokémon is also quite unique, resembling a serrated blade.

When the rotation stopped, a completely different fish appeared on the surface of the sea.

It's like a big fish that's been eaten clean, leaving only the head, tail, and skeleton.

The sharp, angular lines of the head, once covered by excess fat, were now fully exposed, sharp enough to cleave through steel plates.

Its speed!

"Whoosh!" A purple flash, faster than a barracuda, shot out!

Does the barracuda sprint in a straight line? It does! But it's faster!

Two flashes of light, one silver and one purple, converged beneath the sea surface.

There was no collision. There was no entanglement.

Only that skeleton fish Pokémon, cutting into the barracuda's path from a tricky angle, used its sharp skull like a scalpel to cleanly and decisively kill it.

The barracuda's body continued to glide forward for more than twenty meters due to inertia, and then slowly turned its white belly up.

From "slaughtering the meat" to "killing", it takes no more than five seconds.

The entire live stream room was completely silent for two full seconds.

Then the comments section went completely crazy.

[What the hell did I just see?! It shed its own flesh!!!]

This can't be right! No wonder it's a superpower attribute, this is definitely a superpower!

[666, I wish I had that superpower, I could eat as much as I want and not get fat!]

I didn't quite see it clearly. How did it do that? How could it survive when it was just a skeleton?

So it was intentionally so fat before? Intentionally fattening itself up so it could shed it all for speed at the crucial moment? No, wait, what's the point?

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions right now. Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll answer them one by one."

Ye Yinchuan's voice pierced through the flood of comments, "This Pokémon is called Cod. It's a Water/Psychic type. Its signature move is called 'Fat Shake'—by spinning at high speed, it sheds all the fat accumulated on its body at once, greatly increasing its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed."

He held up three fingers.

"All three key attributes are increased simultaneously, and by a huge margin. The cost is the loss of flesh and blood, which is equivalent to losing half of one's life."

[Trading half your life for three surges? Isn't that a gamble?]

No wonder it's usually so fat and slow; all that meat is its "ammunition"!

So, what's the underlying principle?

"Ammunition? That's a good analogy, but I think fuel would be a more fitting description," Ye Yinchuan continued, picking up where the commenter left off. "Lightweight cod uses fattening up to store up combat resources. When it's fat, its defense is high and it's durable. But when faced with a situation requiring a quick attack, it activates 'fat-shedding,' instantly transforming from a tank into an assassin. As for the principle—"

"The Light-bodied Cod hone its spirit through 'sacrifice,' which is its superpower—by giving up large amounts of flesh and blood, it gains immense mental strength, which in turn strengthens its body. In addition to attribute enhancements, the Light-bodied Cod also possesses extremely powerful regenerative abilities."

His gaze fell on the large, bright red pieces of fish meat that were slowly sinking on the surface of the sea.

"In other words, the flesh and blood of the light cod will grow back very quickly. And we certainly can't waste the flesh it sheds—"

66

He smiled.

"Because that meat is truly top-quality ingredient."

[Holy crap? Does this comply with the law of conservation of energy?]

[They're Pokémon, their main selling point is "Pokémon," you know?]

Is exchanging material things for spiritual strength, and then using that strength to acquire new nourishment, a kind of cycle?

Fifteen minutes later.

On the cooking counter in the center of the deck, six large pieces of fresh cod meat, hauled from the sea, were neatly arranged.

Ye Yinchuan personally took charge of the procedure.

The head chef, who was on board, stood aside for a couple of moments before stepping back. It wasn't because he was being asked to leave, but because Ye Yinchuan's knife skills, angles, and force were beyond his comprehension.

That knife was a custom-made culinary knife with an extremely thin blade that made almost no sound when cutting into meat.

The first cut landed.

The moment the cross-section was exposed in front of the camera, the entire live stream audience gasped.

The texture—even white fat threads, inlaid between light pink muscle fibers, layer upon layer, as exquisite as marble patterns.

More delicate than salmon. More translucent than tuna belly.

"See that?" Ye Yinchuan pointed the cut surface at the camera. "The muscle fibers of the light cod are extremely fine, and the fat distribution is ridiculously even. This is because its fat is not simply an energy storage substance; it contains residual bio-energy with super-powerful properties. Simply put, eating this meat not only tastes delicious but also has a certain effect on restoring mental strength."

[Okay, it still sounds like a supplement?]

[This meat is definitely free; there's no need to kill anyone.]

[Pike: Feed me peanuts!]

"If these pieces of flesh that were shed weren't eaten by other Pokémon first, they would have sunk to the bottom of the sea and decomposed naturally. I just happened to get a bargain."

He neatly arranged the thinly sliced ​​sashimi on an ice plate and drizzled it with a line of yuzu vinegar.

The first bite.

Ye Yinchuan's expression changed slightly.

It's not an exaggerated performance, but a genuine, instinctive moment of stillness.

"————The taste is sweet."

66

He paused for a second, carefully organizing his thoughts.

"There is absolutely no fishy smell. The fat melts quickly on the tongue, but it's not greasy. How should I put it—it's like a fusion of the refreshing taste of the finest white peach flesh and the umami flavor of the top-grade sashimi."

He picked up another slice.

"Moreover, after swallowing it, there was a slight warming sensation around my temples. This is the effect of the superhuman bio-energy."

The comments section was no longer filled with discussion, but with lamentations.

Please stop talking! My saliva is dripping from my chin onto the keyboard!

[Would it be helpful to book a flight to the beach right now?]

Is this really edible? Where can I buy it? I'll pay three times the price!

Ye Yinchuan took two more pieces of meat and placed them on the charcoal grill that had been prepared beforehand.

The light cod, with its perfect fat content, sizzles as soon as it hits the grill. The oil drips onto the charcoal, sending up wisps of white smoke, and the aroma fills the air almost instantly.

They were baked for less than forty seconds, and both sides were slightly browned.

Ye Yinchuan sprinkled some sea salt on it, without adding any sauce.

took a bite.

"----Um."

He closed his eyes briefly.

"After searing, the sweetness of the fat becomes more pronounced, and the outer layer has a very thin, crispy texture, while the meat in the middle is semi-raw, retaining the tenderness of sashimi. The saltiness brings out the umami flavor to its maximum."

He turned and glanced at Snorlax.

Snorlax was taking a very serious look as it stuffed a whole, uncut piece of Light Cod into its mouth.

Its eyes were half-closed, and its tail wagged gently.

This is the highest praise Snorlax could give, expressing that it's "so delicious I don't even want to talk."

Even the juvenile Giratina snatched a small piece, chewed it a couple of times, then looked at Ye Yinchuan, and then at the slender, molting cod on the sea surface, which had finished eating and was slowly swimming in the distance.

Two more hours passed.

After the warships passed through a zone where warm ocean currents converged, the sea's color changed from azure to a deep indigo. The water temperature was noticeably decreasing. The ship's instruments indicated that they were approaching the outer edge of the East China Sea abyssal trench zone.

Ye Yinchuan stood at the bow of the ship, looking ahead.

Then his gaze was drawn to something.

About five or six meters above the sea, there was a small group—no, to be precise, a small clump—of strange things floating.

At first glance, it looks like some kind of translucent balloon.

Its grayish-white spherical body is about the size of a fist. A short, fluffy tail hangs from its bottom. On its head is a small, slightly raised spherical protrusion, which frames an extremely simple, almost painted-on face.

Two small, black bean-like eyes, and a curved mouth.

His expression conveyed an innocent, blank, and bewildered look.

There were about a dozen of them, floating in twos and threes in mid-air, drifting slowly with the wind, like a group of small balloons being released into the air.

"Hmm?" Ye Yinchuan stopped in his tracks.

[So cute! What's that? A little balloon?]

[A cute, round little ball! I want to catch one!]

[This is also a Pokémon? Is it Fairy-type?!]

Ye Yinchuan didn't rush to answer. His discerning eyes scanned the data on the panels of those small spheres.

Then he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"interesting.

He didn't offer any explanation, but continued to observe.

About ten minutes later, the clouds on the horizon began to thicken.

The originally bright sunlight was half blocked.

A gentle breeze stirred on the sea.

At that moment, the bodies of those small spheres began to change.

Their grayish-white spherical bodies slowly became transparent, their color transitioning from grayish-white to pale blue. Their originally fluffy marshmallow tails disappeared, replaced by a streamlined body shape that elongated into a teardrop shape at the base.

The small sphere turned into a small water droplet.

The spherical protrusion on its head also changed shape, as if a layer of moist film had condensed on it, making its whole body look like a giant raindrop suspended in mid-air.

Ye Yinchuan's expression turned serious.

"really."

He glanced at the sky.

It's going to rain.

The captain approached: "Mr. Kirby, the weather radar indicates that a low-pressure area is forming 60 nautical miles ahead."

"No need to look at the radar." Ye Yinchuan pointed to the small water droplets. "They are more accurate than any weather equipment."

66

The comments section went crazy.

Wait, they've changed shape? They've turned from small spheres into water droplets?

[A biological weather station? That's incredible!]

[Host, are you going to introduce it or not?! I'm so impatient!]

Ye Yinchuan was about to speak when suddenly his gaze froze.

Those little creatures that had already taken the shape of water droplets underwent another change in their bodies.

This time, the changes came drastically and rapidly.

The transparent blue teardrop shape rapidly darkened, turning into a deep gray, almost lead-black color. The originally soft teardrop outline was torn outwards, forming sharp, swirling ridges at the bottom. The protrusion at the top expanded rapidly, transforming into a swirling, dark gray cloud resembling a cumulonimbus cloud.

The entire body was no longer a raindrop.

It was a miniature storm.

Ye Yinchuan's hand froze in mid-air.

That's not right.

He had seen this Pokémon's three known form changes in sunny, rainy, and hailous weather. But the form before him—with its leaden body, swirling base, and churning miniature clouds above its head—was something he had never seen in any official record of this Pokémon.

His discerning eye was activated once again.

On the panel, a line of text that had never been seen before slowly appeared.

Ye Yinchuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Meanwhile, the sky on the distant horizon is darkening at an abnormal rate.

The inky clouds, like a giant beast, were rapidly devouring all the light.

The wind rose. Not a gentle breeze, but a sudden, fierce gust carrying a salty, watery vapor.

The sea began to churn. The waves quickly rose from half a meter to two meters, and the warship experienced its first noticeable rolling.

The young dragon of Giratina suddenly stood up from the deck.

Its antimatter core is throbbing wildly.

But this time, it wasn't an instinctive connection to Dialga.

Ye Yinchuan slowly raised his head and looked at the horizon that was swallowed by dark clouds.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"A storm is coming."

His eyes reflected the leaden-gray light of the sky.

"But this storm is probably not just a simple case of sea weather!"
