Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

They either get stabbed by strange trees filled with resentment, or inexplicably end up in the belly of ancient moon birds.

Often, before he can even exchange two words with someone he meets, the other person will either pull out a knife and kill him or avoid him at all costs.

Quanshu couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder people say that outstanding people are easily envied."

Around 10 p.m., four hours of gaming time was definitely not short, and everyone was still somewhat reluctant to stop.

"Although it's hard to say goodbye, it's time to say goodbye to everyone."

Daigo said, "I am honored to have been invited by Niigata to participate in the test, and I am also honored to have fun with you all."

"The new games in Tingxiang are really fun. I hope we can get together again next time."

Cynthia waved goodbye in front of the camera.

"Capturing your attention with an electric grid—that concludes today's live stream. Goodbye!"

Before turning off the camera, Qi Shu didn't forget to add her formulaic opening remarks.

"Time flies so fast, I'm so reluctant to let it go."

"Please, streamers, please keep broadcasting for a little while longer. They'll do anything."

Will we ever meet again after Daigo's limited-time livestream?

"I heard the Dodo is making a movie. He's also the Young Men's Champion. You Goku fans can use him as a substitute."

“Ah, oh well—forget it.”

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on our flight class champions?"

A thousand miles away, Watari, who was preparing to return to the Kanto region, sneezed.

"Achoo... Someone must be thinking of me. It can't be a cricket, can it?"

Chapter 153 Quanshu was right

On the night the demo event ended, long and short clips of the live stream fell like snowflakes across various video platforms.

Some use the original live audio and post-production editing, some focus on artistic processing, and some even serve it up without any cuts.

The combination of two champions, top idols, and Izumi's new work has ignited the enthusiasm of players in various regions.

With each participant starting a live stream, there were many angles to edit, resulting in an explosive surge of live stream clips about Pikachu Kill across the entire internet.

Those fans who are extremely enthusiastic about Pikachu Kill repeatedly watch the live stream clips, and although they have never logged into the game itself, they know the rules and gameplay by heart.

Some impatient people have already invited three or five friends to pre-order the game, just waiting for its release, because party games are more fun to play with friends.

The only drawback for some trainers is that Pikachu Killer cannot be played with their own Pokémon.

Unlike Overcooked, Pikachu Kill's gameplay relies heavily on verbal communication and psychological warfare.

Putting aside the fact that most Pokémon cannot master human language, humans completely outclass Pokémon in terms of psychological warfare alone.

Moreover, bullying children with the mental capacity of seven or eight years old does not bring a sense of accomplishment or satisfaction; the opponent must be equal or stronger to be truly satisfying.

Of course, if the unequal contest between the two sides reaches a certain extreme, it can also create some subtle fun.

For example, if college students participate in a speed-answering competition of addition and subtraction among elementary school students, they will not feel smug about winning, but they will feel happy that there is one more desperate little boy in the world.

However, there are exceptions among Pokémon, such as the many Psychic-type Pokémon, which achieved outstanding results in Overcooked.

While other Pokémon were still getting angry and fighting with their trainers because of their mistakes, these Pokémon had already gracefully completed their game and looked at the flustered trainers with disdain.

On the contrary, the trainers were disappointed and unable to sit down to eat.

With the help of a small software program that translates the text into a language, Psychic-type Pokémon can turn the tide in Pikachu battles.

When the game officially launched the next day, "Pikachu Kill" which had already seen a surge in popularity due to the live stream clips experienced another wave of popularity.

For people around the world who have never experienced a game like Werewolf, the Pikachu Kill game experience is novel, exciting, and incredibly appealing.

In addition, the addictive and high-energy nature of party games has led many office workers who love to play games at home to once again enter a phase of hedonistic indulgence.

Only when the Monday bell rings will the agonizingly stressed office worker mutter, "Izumi has ruined me!"

......

As Quanshu hummed, the rhythm of "We Go With the Sky" flowed out.

This is the soundtrack for Hiccup and Toothless's first attempt at flying together in "How to Train Your Dragon," with a surging and vibrant rhythm.

Following his hazy memory, Quanshu hummed most of the song, cleared his throat, and looked expectantly at Nie Zi in the video call: "This song is orchestral, what do you think?"

"If you ask me how I am..."

Nie Zi took a deep breath; the other person's off-key singing was so outrageous that it was truly unacceptable.

However, since it's orchestral music, he tried to describe the hazy musical feeling: "It's like the sea and islands unfolding before my eyes, a vast and boundless sky, and there seems to be a strong wind blowing..."

"Perfect understanding".

Quanshu snapped his fingers and said, "The theme is pure and surging, a vibrant life force, a bold vision for the future and fearlessness."

Nie Zi's face darkened. You want him, a pale and weak young man who always looks like a dead man, to portray surging vitality?

"As you might have guessed, the songs I asked you to compose these past few days are all for my new movie. Good music is the soul of a film, after all."

Quanshu picked at his ear, as if he had just remembered something: "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Did you receive the package I sent you?"

"this?"

Nie Zi took out a pair of thick, wearable glasses. These things looked very similar to the holographic projection of the Flame Team, but their appearance was completely different.

However, the Team Flare logo remains on the metal casing, leaving people puzzled.

"This is a VR device that I had someone test, modified from Team Flare merchandise. Its function is to make the game more immersive, but it is still in the research stage."

This was a test product that Quanshu asked a tech expert on the internet to make. Because Team Flare's equipment was too expensive, it was not feasible to mass-produce it.

VR devices can enhance the experience of certain games, and he believes it's worth looking forward to seeing them firsthand.

“I put some mini-games into the digital alloy. If you can’t feel the vitality, you can try to find it inside.”

The product, despite being a counterfeit or substandard product, came with an instruction manual. Nie Zi looked like she had something to say, but in the end, she sighed and said, "They're even searching for life force. Is this really reliable?"

......

Spike Town seems shrouded in a light gray hue, day or night, with shops scattered haphazardly throughout, giving it a somewhat punk vibe.

Mary was filled with emotion. She had been traveling for over a month, and it was finally time to return home and challenge her brother, Nie Zi.

However, when she entered her living room, she saw a strange scene.

A rhythmic melody emanated from the wall-mounted speaker. Nie Zi was wearing VR glasses, holding a small controller, and slashing something into the void.

On the display screen connected to the VR device, a path of light leads into the distance.

At the end of the road is a giant Bosscodora, running and kicking up boulders that crash into the camera.

The irregular boulders were engraved with "↑←↓→". When Nie Zi slashed with the lightsaber in the direction of the arrows, the rocks shattered, bringing a satisfying sound effect full of impact.

Aggron's armor shattered, and it let out a frenzied roar.

"I wrote this song, I remember it!"

The difficulty of the songs increases from easy to difficult, and so does the strength of the Pokémon guarding the stage. Aggron is already a very late-stage stage.

Mary sat on the sofa and watched for a while. If you ignored the amazing battle on the screen, just looking at Nie Zi wearing VR equipment was simply a disaster.

Nie Zi, who waved wildly to the music and dodged left and right and crouched down to avoid obstacles, looked like a complete freak.

Nie Zi usually doesn't exercise and has pale skin. She was out of breath from the intense exercise of the song, which was too difficult.

After a fierce battle, Bosscodora collapsed amidst the ruins, causing him to burst into laughter, panting heavily.

He laughed so hard he choked and coughed: "Cough, this is the vibrant life force! I can feel it, Quanshu was right!"

"It's hopeless."

Mary couldn't bear to look at it. "It's completely hopeless."

Chapter 154 Requires an Incompatible Soul

United States Film Forum.

[After watching "Night at Night," my nephew is insisting on going to the Dark Grey City Museum and refuses to go to school. What should I do?]

"A diligent little mover: As the title says, I'm a student who's about to do an internship on a construction team."

Last week, my older sister asked me to look after her eight-year-old son for a day. Since I have no experience taking care of children, I thought we might as well go see a classic movie to pass the time and keep my nephew quiet. So we went together.

The next day, my nephew absolutely refused to go to school and insisted on going to the Dark Grey City Museum, but we live in Unown! Any advice from netizens?

"The resurrected fossil pterosaur: It's simple, just beat it up. To be honest, it's really good-looking."

"Hops lover: Doesn't the United States have the Qibao City Museum? Let's use it as a meal replacement."

"The diligent porter: My nephew insists on going to Dark Grey City; he doesn't recognize Seven Treasures City!"

"Want to eat paparazzi buns: Kids are easily attracted to new things, just take him to see other good movies."

"Hardworking mover: Your method is reliable!"

"Knight Fierce Leg Locust: Hey, then you absolutely mustn't take him to see Director Quan's new movie, 'How to Train Your Dragon'."

"The Hardworking Porter: ? Why is that? It's clearly a movie title that would appeal to little boys."

"Knight Locust: Didn't you watch the trailer? I don't know what Izumi was thinking. The story is set on an ancient island. Do you want your nephew to go to a remote island to survive in the wilderness? By the way, there also has to be a Dragon-type Pokémon."

"Hardworking deliveryman: What you've said makes me want to watch it... Okay, I admit, I'm the one who's attracted."

In a residential building in Shuanglong City.

The boy left the movie forum; people are always attracted to new things.

He had heard of "How to Train Your Dragon" before. Just look at the name, plus the fact that it stars the champion Ferry Dragon, it's hard not to be drawn to it by young people.

Who wouldn't want to capture a tall, handsome Dragon-type Pokémon and soar through the skies?

Compared to that, his nephew's persistent pestering and shameless behavior of rolling on the ground seemed insignificant.

"The promotional video... found it!"

Under Quanshu's Navigator account, the boy found the movie preview he had been longing for.

Before you can imagine, humans and dragons

The video cover features a vast sea of ​​clouds under an orange-red sunset, resembling a mountain range or a towering sea ridge.

Only a small black shadow swept across the sea of ​​clouds, and the shape of a dragon could be vaguely discerned.

Ignore the video's alarmingly high number of views and the bustling comment section.

He blocked the comments and watched the promotional video instead.

There was no sound on the pitch-black screen, only a few lines of white text.

Have you ever wondered what the relationship was like between humans and Pokémon in the distant past, before they established a connection?

Have you ever wondered why all Pokémon can understand human language, and why only humans can form bonds with them?

Have you ever wondered what the story is about the first Pokémon to follow a human, and the first person to accompany a Pokémon?

"Clang clang clang!"

A series of harsh, dull thuds, like a hammer striking a wooden shield, suddenly illuminated the dark screen.

"Come on, come on!"

Two boys dressed in leather and with braids repeatedly struck their raised shields with hammers, taunting the bull-sized creature in front of them.

The "porter" immediately recognized it as a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex, a degenerate form of Tyrannosaurus Rex that had long been extinct.

The baby Tyrannosaurus Rex charged and sent the two shield-bearers flying, drawing boos from the surrounding crowd.
