Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Gurusha stopped recording only after reaching 500,000 points, which he considered satisfactory.

After watching the video, the various reactions from the viewers in the final comments reminded Gurusha of the moment he retired.

"Why retire? Your injury has healed. Although it has some impact on your performance, it's not enough to warrant retirement."

His coach advised him.

"It's better not to slip at all than to slip on something so slippery."

Gurusha understood that the results after being affected would never meet his expectations.

When can high standards be considered a mistake?

"Thoughts are flowing freely: Are you free tomorrow night?"

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Slaughter of Geese and Ducks, the Intrigue and Power Struggle Among the Dojo Masters

Shuizhou Town, outside the sea.

Lulina shook the water droplets off her hair and boarded the luxury yacht via its gangway.

"Master, there's an email from Tingxiang just now."

"Tingxiang?"

Lulina unscrewed the bottle cap. "Is it the movie company that's been really popular lately?"

She opened the letter.

Will Qishu participate in a game invitation?

"My influence is limited to the Galar region, so it would be nice to let audiences in other regions experience my charm."

Lulina held a water bottle out of the ship's railing, and a Milotic with colorful scales raised its head from the sea to drink.

"Besides, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"Promise him."

?

Raven Dojo.

The tall and slender Xiaoju was reading the email sent by Tingxiang.

To be honest, she wasn't very interested in games.

But Qishu will also participate.

“The streamers from the Padiya region have gained a lot of fame through Tingxiang’s games.”

Both are Electric-type Gym Leaders, and both have side jobs that require public attention.

"It seems like it would be fun to walk into the spotlight with her on stage."

?

"There is a 1% chance of getting a golden peach every time you fish in this river. Collect 100 peaches to unlock the unique achievement of the Travel Farm."

Qi Shu pointed to the fishing options on the screen and said earnestly, "Click here every ten seconds, and use love worms as bait."

"If I help you fish, does that mean we're friends?"

Naz looked at her, puzzled.

"Of course."

Qi Shu remained calm and composed, lying on her back on the bed: "What else are people who play games together if not friends?"

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door.

"Is Qishu there? I need to talk to you."

"Need not!"

Qi Shu darted to the door, quickly opened it, slipped out, and closed it, saying with her back to the door, "Let's talk outside."

Quanshu could tell from her neurotic behavior that something was going on.

"Alright, there's a new game that I need you to promote, including the live stream time, location, and participants."

"drop--"

Qishu opened the newly received message.

In the game "Goose vs. Duck," a group of Pikachu mixed with Mimikyu need to vote to select the winner among all the Mimikyu.

The planned number of participants is 12, and Xiaojuer and Lulina will also participate.

Xiaojuer and Lulina?

These two are household names.

The former is a superstar in the Unova region, and the latter is a top model in the Galar region.

Qi Shu asked suspiciously, "How did you manage to contact them?"

“Their side businesses are linked to their fame, perhaps because they are considering the possibility of future cooperation with Tingxiang, and they did not refuse my invitation.”

Quanshu patiently explained.

"That's it..."

Qi Shu turned his head and looked out the window at the brightly lit city.

There was a time when Quanshu spared no effort in promoting his game to her and traveled around to make movies.

Unexpectedly, he was able to easily invite the eye-catching twin models so quickly without relying on external forces.

With a hint of disappointment, she said wistfully:

"You are a brilliant and talented director and game producer, while I am just a streamer from a remote area with average popularity."

"That's great, you can get two gym leaders to test the game for you with just one sentence."

Quanshu twitched his lips. "A streamer with mediocre popularity... Do you dare to say that again with your hand on your conscience?"

I don't know what triggered Qishu, but he can't very well say: "I was just faking it with the other two, but I was really having fun with you, right?"

"Shall we go for dessert tomorrow morning? A new Pikachu-themed cake shop has opened on the East District Commercial Street in Golden City."

"Really?"

Qi Shu's voice rose an octave, her pinkish-blue eyes sparkling: "Just the two of us?"

"And then there's Sabrina, she's trying to regain her superpowers through emotional stimulation."

"cut--"

With her hands clasped behind her back, Qi Shu said defiantly, "Then I want to eat ten Pikachus."

"Do whatever you want, as long as you don't stuff yourself to death."

"You have to eat ten too."

"......Row."

"never mind."

Suddenly in a better mood, Qi Shu waved her hand and smiled sweetly: "It would be a waste if you overeat."

......

the next day.

[New Work Test by Tsubasa]

Three live streaming rooms that had not yet started broadcasting topped the popularity charts overnight.

The staff at the live streaming platform were used to it; any live stream even remotely related to Tingxiang could become incredibly popular, let alone the second and third most popular live streams.

If Lulina and Xiaojuer hadn't been so infrequent to stream, the outcome of the top spot would have been uncertain.

The restless fans darted between the three live stream rooms.

"What is Tingxiang trying to do by inviting so many dojo masters?"

What game requires twelve people to participate?

"Wow, ten gym leaders, has the Indigo League exhibition match been moved up?"

"It's so prestigious to be a fan of Tingxiang."

"Little Chrysanthemum is the best in the world, and I will not accept any rebuttal."

Am I the only one interested in this new game genre?

The live stream didn't start until 6 PM, and viewers who learned the news too early felt like the days were dragging on forever.

"Tingxiang Game Test Group"

Because there were too many participants in the test, Quanshu simply created a group chat to coordinate the overall situation.

After confirming that all gym leaders could log in at set times, he repeated the game settings.

Participants: Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, Lijia, Nazi, Xiaofeng, Xiaonan, Qishu, Guruxia, Lulina, Xiaojuer, Quanshu, and Moli.

The game features three factions: Pikachu, Neutral, and Mimikyu.

The game ends when all Pikachu are killed or all Mimikyu are eliminated.

A vote can be taken by discovering a body or pulling a bell, and the person with the most votes is eliminated.

Good guys: The sheriff who can kill people and the messenger of justice, and Galar Pikachu that automatically calls the police and votes when killed.

Mimikyu: Possesses the ability to wield a knife and can drag corpses.

Neutral: Crescent Moon Bird, which can eat people, and Slowpoke, which wins if it is voted out.

All the owners confirmed that they understood the rules of the game.

Quanshu felt relieved.

At 6 p.m., amid the excited and eager anticipation of the audience, the three live broadcast rooms started on time.

"I've been watching you guys chat all afternoon. So this is a live stream?"

"It's finally started! We strongly protest Tingxiang's premature announcement."

"Lulina fans are giving a heartfelt thank you to Tingxiang; it's so rare to see her live stream even once."

Tens of thousands of viewers rushed in, but fortunately the staff were prepared and multiple backup lines were activated at the same time.

Since the three of them were broadcasting live together at the same time, Qishu did not choose his usual formulaic opening remarks.

"Good evening, everyone. I believe you all have the same purpose in entering the live broadcast room. It is an honor to bring you a live broadcast test of Tingxiang's new work."

"Tap the top right corner of the screen to see the rules of this game, and I will also explain them during the game."

Xiaoju said, "To ensure the fairness of the game, we will turn off the bullet comments after the game starts, so ask us your questions now."

Lulina chimed in, "There are three Gym Leaders participating in this live stream. I'm honored to be one of them. You can watch the live stream from any of their rooms."

The three of them said in unison:

"Then let's begin tonight's game."

Chapter Ninety-Six: Actually, I Want to Be a Good Person

Map name: Basement.

Born in the dark corridor at the top of the map, Qishu realized his identity—an ordinary Pikachu.

"Tsk, what a terrible lot."

Kiju muttered, "A Pikachu without special skills is completely useless."

The canvas in the corridor glowed faintly and interacted with her. She explained, "The second way for the good guys to win is to complete tasks and accumulate task points. Once you reach one hundred, you will automatically win."
