Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Quanshu is full of confidence.

Lanxing doesn't know much about movies, but she knows that movies not only need to be of high quality, but also need effective marketing and distribution.

Movies that don't generate discussion won't do well at the box office.

“We have nothing: script, marketing, post-production... not to mention that neither of us are professionals.”

Lanxing is stating objective facts.

"I'll handle the script and marketing, and I'll also make up for any missing funds. As for post-production..."

"Come forth, Polygonus Type 2!"

Izumi throws out a Poké Ball.

A sleek, shiny red and blue floating duck appeared in the air.

"Koo-hoo—"

The polygonal beast's webbed feet swung, its tail swayed, and it flipped through the air.

"Polygon Beast 2 can enter the network and is capable of handling all post-processing tasks."

Quanshu explained, "You can think of it as a powerful AI terminal."

With both Tutu Dog and Porygonian appearing, Lanxing began to wonder what this guy was up to outside.

"You only need to do one thing, which is to motivate the Pokémon in the welfare home."

After feeding him all morning, Quanshu realized that he couldn't make a movie by himself.

The reason is that the Pokémon in the orphanage had been abandoned and have a natural wariness of strangers.

Only Lanxing, with her meticulous care and dedication, won their favor.

If we want these guys to make a movie, Lanxing's presence is indispensable.

"No."

After careful consideration, Lan Xing refused, saying, "Putting aside the difficulty of making a movie, even if we do manage to make one, it might not be a box office success. In that case, we'll lose everything and make things even worse. I can't gamble."

What a stubborn headmistress.

Quanshu bared her teeth; her physical attack must be very high, right?

"Let's make a bet."

Hearing about the bet, Lanxing frowned. She hated the word, or rather, she disliked all words filled with uncertainty.

"If I can earn five million yen in a month, you'll cooperate with me to make a movie."

"On the contrary, I will do whatever you want with me. Whether you work hard to keep the welfare home running or guard the house, it's all up to you."

Earning five million in a month?

Lan Xing's pupils contracted sharply. Has this guy gone mad to make such a bet?

She asked suspiciously, "You don't have any unusual fetishes, do you?"

"I don't know what you're thinking, but it must be very rude."

Quanshu took out a pen, quickly wrote out the betting agreement, and signed his name.

“It’s a sure-fire deal for you. If I win, the orphanage’s financial problems will be solved.”

"If I lose, you will gain a compliant worker."

"You really want to bet?"

Lan Xing couldn't believe it. She picked up her pen and said, "You can't sell your body, and you can't do anything illegal."

"Of course."

Quanshu's forehead creased with annoyance. Was the "selling one's body" she was referring to the sale of a kidney?

"Then... I agree to your bet."

Lanxing got another copy from Tutu Dog and signed both copies of the bet.

"Two copies made, the bet is settled."

The spring tree rejoiced.

Lanxing couldn't understand why this guy was so happy about becoming free labor.

"There's a saying in my hometown: the value of life is realized through labor, and this applies to the Pokémon in the welfare home as well."

“They have been abandoned and hurt; simple healing cannot cure psychological trauma.”

"Only by giving them a job and letting them experience the value they create can Pokémon achieve mental well-being."

"Through repeated work, they will gradually regain their confidence and self-esteem, and become radiant."

Quanshu made a solemn vow, vividly depicting a glorious future.

"hope so."

Lanxing was worried; she understood what Quanshu was saying all too well.

However, most of the abandoned Pokémon have serious defects or are infected with major diseases, making ordinary jobs unsuitable for them.

Perhaps making movies really is a way out.

The moment this thought popped into her head, Lanxing covered her mouth; she had actually been swayed by Quanshu's sweet talk.

Unbelievable...

After finishing breakfast, Lanxing went out with the flyers.

Ren Quanshu sang eloquently and described things in a flowery and eloquent manner, but what he described was ultimately just a reflection in a mirror or a flower in water.

Lanxing will not change its policy until he produces tangible results.

"Please take care, Dean..."

The smiling spring tree bids farewell at the courtyard gate.

He went back inside and tidied up the documents on his computer desk.

The first floor of the welfare home mainly consists of a lobby, archives, medical room, and food storage room.

The second floor is an attic with a low bed and clutter piled up next to it.

Despite the fact that the Tingxiang Welfare Home has announced that it will no longer accept new Pokémon, people still occasionally abandon their Pokémon at the entrance of the home.

Fortunately, no Pokémon have gotten sick in the past two months, and the infirmary is empty.

After organizing the documents, he walked around the yard to make sure there was nothing amiss before sitting down at his computer desk.

This computer is only slightly younger than the orphanage itself, so it's a miracle that it's still working.

The spring tree patted its huge rear end, and the fan began to roar at the top of its lungs.

"Can this thing really be used to make games?"

Based on his experience as a senior programmer from his previous life, this thing would probably be doomed after rendering the game.

Quanshu was very confident in his programming skills; in other words, if he hadn't worked day and night, he wouldn't have died young.

The only problem was that he was afraid the computer would crash before the game was even halfway through its creation.

"do not care."

"Old friend, dance with me one last time!"

"Polygon, please go inside the computer and act as the graphics card and processor."

The red and blue ducks beside it revealed a determined look and crawled into the monitor, instantly making the old screen's pixels much clearer.

Quanshu didn't rush to start work; instead, he logged onto Nintendo, the largest gaming website, to observe the market.

Currently, the number one new game in sales is "Positive and Negative Pats".

As a two-player game, players need to control a positively charged pat and a negatively charged pat to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles.

The gameplay is similar to the old game Fire and Ice, but apart from the beautiful graphics, the gameplay is not as good as this old game from 4399.

The comments section below is full of positive reviews.

Quanshu chuckled. This market is going to be a huge hit once he makes "Two People Go Together".

However, his current configuration clearly cannot achieve this.

To earn five million yen in a month, one game is clearly not enough.

Quanshu needs a troublemaker to make his studio famous, the more sensational the better.

He dragged the art materials for the little rock into the folder.

They gave the project a catchy name.

"Getting Over It: Someone beats it within a month, and the author streams it with an electric fan."

Chapter Four: The Strange Tree is Seeking Gold in the Land

Good morning and good afternoon!

"Who is narrating this wondrous tale? It is I, the wondrous tree!"

In front of the camera, a beautiful girl with a Magnemite doll on her forehead and pink and blue pigtails recites her opening remarks with great energy.

With the start of the live stream by T0's popular streamer and Gym Leader of Brewmaster City, a large number of viewers flooded into the live stream room.

"Qishu started broadcasting later than usual today."

"I'm coming--"

"Hey streamer, are you streaming a match again today?"

Qi Shu glanced at the comments, then opened the battle platform with practiced ease, revealing a sweet smile.

"Battles are definitely the main theme of the live stream, and I hope to get matched with an opponent soon."

As the owner of the Niangguang Gym, she is not just a pretty face; she has reached the master level in both singles and doubles.

Once you reach the Masters level, most of your opponents will be gym owners, top players, or even champions.

Therefore, each ranked match takes a considerable amount of time.

As the best player among streamers and the most skilled at live streaming among the club owners, Qi Shu naturally attracts countless fans.

A large portion of her fan base comes from those who want to learn tactics.

"It seems like Brock, the gym leader of Dark Grey Gym, is also in ranked matches. If the streamer gets matched with him, there will be something to watch."

Where are the historians who uphold justice?

"Report: Qishu's historical record against Xiaogang is 1:4. In the last match, he was humiliatingly shut down after being swept by Mega Steelix."

The live chat instantly erupted into a sea of ​​joy.

Qi Shu wore a stiff smile, his shark teeth grinding together with a loud cracking sound.

"Xiao Gang is indeed a very strong gym leader. I look forward to his next match."

She, a Gym Leader proficient in Electric-type Pokémon, was at a disadvantage against Gonta, who specialized in Rock and Ground-type Pokémon.

I still remember the Electric Belly Frog, which was knocked out of the air by Mega Steelix.

The squinty-eyed, bronze-skinned man gave a look that said, "You think that's all? I thought it was a speed bump."

It makes me so angry just thinking about it!

"Without further ado, let's savor today's pre-match dessert."

Qi Shu composed himself, opened the Nintendo Entertainment System, and searched for interesting mini-games.

She's a professional streamer, and she intersperses mini-games while waiting for matchmaking to avoid awkward conversations throughout.

As Qishu clicked on a recently released game, a barrage of comments flooded in.

"It's time for my favorite part: finding gold in the poop."

"I bet half a pack of spicy strips that today's mini-game will definitely have a bug."

"As far as the eye can see, mountains of manure are everywhere."
