Pokémon, but cultural invasion.

Quanshu's personal account on Pikachu has long been seen by his fans as something akin to "update announcements".

Every time he posts a new update, it means he has a new little idea to share with his fans.

"What constitutes a person? Has Director Izumi begun to contemplate philosophy?"

"Skip, let's skip all the foreplay and get straight to the main course."

"Speaking of which, it seems that Director Quan is filming a movie in Feiyun City. It looks like it's about cloning. I'd guess it's a love story between a human and a clone."

"You know what, Director Izumi's previous games and movies had nothing to do with romance. Is he just not good at romance themes?"

"Isn't there a movie called 'The Little Mermaid'? Although the little mermaid died tragically, it just happens to show that Director Izumi is not good at writing love stories."

"So, is Izumi a good boy?"

Even in the increasingly skewed comment section, there were still people having serious discussions.

"A person is composed of body and soul."

"Don't talk nonsense, upstairs. Science has proven that the soul does not exist at all; matter determines consciousness."

"Then let me ask you, what's the deal with Ghost-type Pokémon?"

"I believe that as long as one inherits complete memories and consciousness, even if the body becomes a robot, one is still the original person."

"Hey, are you sure you can accept a robot friend?"

"That's so cool."

"Do you all understand what cloning means? Cloning is a copy, no matter how similar it is, it will never be the same person."

With a large enough fan base, the comment section quickly erupted into heated arguments.

Quanshu exited the Pikachu with satisfaction. It was good that it was making noise; he wouldn't feel at ease if it wasn't.

Debates generate traffic, and opposition generates buzz; otherwise, why would so many unscrupulous media outlets delve into gender issues?

"drop--"

On the navigator, Xia sent a message about Dr. Fuji.

He asked the other party yesterday to please let him know if there were any follow-ups.

I didn't expect there to be a follow-up so quickly.

But then I thought that Dr. Fuji had no reason not to cooperate with the alliance's investigation, and it was reasonable for the results to be available within a day.

Xiaoxia provided a transcript of Dr. Fuji's interrogation, in which he discussed the mysterious spirit that caused the explosion at the research institute.

"Fuji: I kept recombining Mew genes for research purposes, but I never expected it would create a ferocious Pokémon."

"Interviewer: How much do you know about this Pokémon?"

Fuji: His power is terrifying. Technology created His body, but it couldn't create a gentle heart. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a heartless monster.

"Judge: Do you think He will pose a threat to humanity?"

"Fuji: He possesses combat abilities that have been elevated to their limit. The destruction of the research institute was probably out of hatred, but it's hard to tell whether that hatred was directed at me or at humanity."

"Interrogator: What's the name of this Pokémon?"

"Fuji: Mewtwo."

"The Kanto League will not allow a ticking time bomb to roam freely. Whether to observe or capture this Pokémon will be decided after a few days of discussion."

Xiaoxia complained in the comments: "I guess there will be another meeting. Sigh, it's just a matter of the league talking, but in the end, we gym leaders still have to help us."

"By the way, since you care so much about Professor Fuji, you're not involved with that Pokémon, are you?"

"If it's true, I advise you to confess and you'll be treated leniently; if you resist, you'll be punished severely. Before serious consequences occur, the Alliance's attitude towards cloned elves is tolerant."

Should we advise Mewtwo to turn itself in?

Quanshu touched his muscles, wondering how high his physical defense would need to be to withstand a mental attack.

Moreover, the so-called destruction research institute was merely an aftershock of Mewtwo's breakthrough incubation chamber and restraint device.

If you try to get Him to confess using this, he'll probably be seen as a fool.

As for the Kanto Alliance's final decision, Izumi didn't care at all.

Given Mewtwo's elusive nature, Officer Jenny couldn't find it anywhere.

After giving Xia a brief reply, Quanshu realized that he had ignored a message from Qishu that he had sent at noon.

The day after the demo ended, she returned to her live stream and began her Overcooked adventure.

During this time, something somewhere between a bug and a mechanic was discovered, and Izumi Tree was asked if it was necessary to fix it.

At the time, Izumi was busy showing Cynthia and Homiga around the film set, so he didn't have time to reply.

After being ignored for a long time, the message that came back was full of sighs.

"Brewing Light-Electric Frog: Sigh, he's finally become a big director. He was able to invite top idols like Lulina and Xiaojuer. That roadside live streamer has probably been forgotten by now."

"Braised Electric Frog: Oh well, it's just that I'm not popular enough."

What are you saying in your gibberish?

Quanshu typed: "A new simulation game, do you want to be Arceus?"

"Stewed Electric Frog: ?"

Calling it Arceus isn't entirely accurate, but in that city it was practically Arceus.

Chapter 106 Pressure: A Frog

Can it be a game for Arceus?

Qi Shu chuckled, "You're kidding me."

The source of a game's fun can be determined from its game genre.

If it's a single-player game, how bored would someone have to be to play as Arceus and bully a bunch of uncivilized, low-intelligence NPCs and find it interesting?

The gameplay is not even as good as controlling a caterpillar to navigate the food chain in Viridian Forest.

If it were a multiplayer game, and a character with Arceus's authority were to sneak into a group of players, wouldn't the game's balance be wrecked?

There are probably very few people in the world who would continue to play this garbage game and experience the Arceus player experience within it.

People with unusual hobbies are ultimately a minority.

"Fried Light Frog: Sigh, it's fine even if you don't give me any promises. Street streamers will bite their lighters when they run out of viewers."

"Thoughts flow like a spring: ...You're invincible."

Thoughts flowed like a spring:

"Frog with a Lightning-Induced Belly: What did you send me?"

"Thoughts Like a Spring: A web-based mini-game still in testing, but I prefer to call it a pixel animation player."

This thing is related to the new game in Tingxiang. You don't believe me? Log in and take a look.

"Thoughts flowed like a spring: There are two more points. First, you actually think I'm just making empty promises; second, I won't be angry."

Quanshu's phone vibrated as the live streamer sent three Pikachu begging emojis in a row.

"This guy... he's completely disregarded the image of the owner just to get attention."

He glanced at the website's backend data; the number of simulations recorded was 6045.

Sure enough, without publicity and promotion, even novel and interesting gadgets need time to spread.

However, this is also related to its characteristics, because the current "Life Simulator" can hardly be considered a complete game.

"Hopefully, the method used by Digital Alloy will work. Using the data created by players to train AI is similar to the growth trajectory of language models from my previous life."

Quanshu closed his phone; his demands were really not high.

Arceus above, just don't end up training someone who's mentally challenged.

......

Quanshu is right about one thing: piggybacking on others' popularity can be addictive.

Niangguang City.

Qishu, who decided to take a break today and suspend all his businesses as a dojo owner and streamer, went straight to bed as soon as he got home.

In the past, she would never have taken a single day a month to treat herself, given her hard work and dedication.

We should dedicate our limited lives to the boundless cause of being a live streamer.

This was Qishu's idea three months ago. However, things are unpredictable. Since she started riding on Quanshu's popularity, she realized how miserable her previous life had been.

He brews at the dojo during the day and streams live from home at night.

They eat life-sustaining meals every day and wish they could bring all kinds of electrical equipment to the dojo to keep it fully charged, just in case they suddenly can't pay the electricity bill one day.

I stream for at least five hours a day, and when I'm playing against others, I get criticized by viewers who say things like, "I've seen your tactics on so-and-so's channel."

Come on, there are only so many fun tactics, so it's not normal to have similar ideas.

After months of diligent live streaming, all I got was mediocre viewership, and I had to be careful about my words and actions at all times to avoid being attacked by fans.

Alas, her life was like walking on thin ice.

Until he met Izumi-ki.

This is the first time Qi Shu has ever seen a situation where popularity can increase even while lying down. He's been in the internet industry for so long.

It feels like he's an NPC who periodically spawns amazing gadgets; if you bother him every now and then, he'll generate a huge amount of traffic.

It can be said that only Qi Shu himself knows the full story of his journey from a third-rate live streamer to a top-tier second-rate streamer.

She originally planned to show her face at Izumi's place after "Overcooked" to improve her image and solidify their working relationship.

Unexpectedly, the other party refreshed the page and showed me a link to a mini-game, which was a pleasant surprise.

There's no doubt this has a chance of getting a drop!

Qi Shu sat on the bed, rubbing his hands together, and clicked on the website address sent by the other party.

Life Simulator

The website design is very simple, with only a "Start Simulation" button in the middle of the game interface.

Scroll down, and you'll find what appears to be a discussion forum with dozens of comments.

Although there were many comments, Qishu noticed that the comment IDs were repeatedly the same few.

This indicates that the website's reach is limited.

"So I wasn't the first to know."

Qi Shu rolled over on the bed like a cat looking for trouble with its own tail.

"That kid Quanshu... still needs to improve his enthusiasm."

Ultimately, it's because the favorability rating isn't high enough, and the automatic new item update function of the mysterious item merchant hasn't been unlocked.

She decided to send some sweet cookies to try and improve their relationship.

The game has received very positive reviews.

"Finally found a small game that can free up my hands."

"It's quite interesting. The first time I chose the Coordinator Trainer route, I put all my talent points into appearance. As a result, the focus of the Contest was on the Pokémon, so I naturally ended up on the sidelines."

"Being a Coordinator is not a good path. In this game, you encounter Pokémon based entirely on luck. I suggest becoming a Breeder, as you don't have to be picky about Pokémon species."

"Just practice a few more times and you'll get used to it. It's hard to play in the early stages without strong talents. Also, don't choose the city as your starting location, or you'll easily get stuck."

"I think you guys don't understand at all. The first time you play this game, you have to go the police route, but after you get your Pokémon, you immediately switch to being a trainer. Arcanine is more than 100,000 times stronger than Caterpie or Pidgey."

"Haha, the person upstairs is outdated. Joining Joey Academy and getting the miniature Chansey to beat the game is the right way."

"Am I the only one selected as a porter, going to different cities with the construction team to do the plastering?"

"If simulation games require going to construction sites, you might as well just kill me."

Judging from the comments alone, Qishu could sense the mystery surrounding this little game.

As she was about to click start, she hesitated.
