Chapter 156 New Exclusive Skill [Shadow of the Overlord]! Training so late at night, are they crazy? Applause, please! (Requesting...)
Crystal Onix? That's a cool name!
So, why does it have Ice-type moves?
The viewers in the live chat were full of interest and curiosity about this unusual Onix.
Ye Yinchuan then revealed all the information he knew:
"This is related to the habits of Onix. Onix eat soil and minerals, and they dig burrows underground to absorb these substances, thus making themselves stronger."
So theoretically speaking, the material and composition of the Onix's body are related to what it eats.
If I'm not mistaken, this Crystal Onix must have ingested some ice-type soil or ore.
For example, cold rocks.
So, the saying "you are what you eat" applies here. Theoretically, could we create special Onix by controlling its diet?
Ye Yinchuan found this question very interesting.
He also has a very creative mind.
Yes, the world of Pokémon is filled with all sorts of strange rocks and minerals, and even other substances.
If Onix is said to have the ability to replenish what it eats, does that mean that Onix has infinite possibilities?
For example, Volcanic Onix, Thunder Onix...
But Ye Yinchuan quickly shook his head, returning to reality:
"It exists in theory, but there are too many things that exist in theory, and it's hard to put them into practice in actual combat. You have to consider that Onix doesn't eat everything, and it's not like it can eat anything and be fine."
Eating random things might not necessarily cause mutations, but it could also lead to death...
Let me give you an example to illustrate this. Have you ever seen a superhero movie? Peter gets bitten by a poisonous spider and becomes Spider-Man.
But the problem is, if you get bitten by a poisonous spider, you might die or turn into a monster. Is that the same thing?
Sometimes mutation requires certain conditions to be met, but meeting those conditions doesn't guarantee that mutation will occur...
Using Pokémon for irresponsible experiments is a major taboo, even illegal. I advise you not to have any such bold ideas.
Ye Yinchuan said this because he was afraid that some people would watch the live stream, listen to his analysis, and then mess around with their own Pokémon.
The rat king we just talked to had a rather outrageous plan to raise poisonous insects.
At least he ran into me, and after giving him a good talking-to, plus the unexpected attack by Radamanthys, I forced him to turn back from his misguided ways.
[Host, you overestimate us... Even if we wanted to, where would we get Onix, where would we get those special ores?]
[Upstairs, your perspective is too narrow. Does it really have to be Onix? I really want to do an experiment; how about Geodude? Or even Caterpie?]
Looking at the comment below, Ye Yinchuan felt a chill run down his spine; this was exactly what he was afraid of.
Once a person's mindset goes astray, they are prone to doing anything.
"Alright, alright, it's past midnight. If there's nothing else, I'll get off the plane."
Ye Yinchuan decided to end the topic and the live broadcast to prevent the viewers from getting too excited and saying more and more outrageous things.
If that inspires some perverts to actually conduct some outrageous experiments with Pokémon, that would be hilarious.
[What the hell? The anchor is online right now after logging off?]
[Oh, the remedy! It's such a long night, how can I sleep if you don't broadcast?!]
Ye Yinchuan was too lazy to pay attention.
She does two live streams a day, always on time, and each one is fully booked, which is already very dedicated.
If you can't stand this, what if you want to relax in the future and only broadcast one episode a day?
Goodnight, see you tomorrow at 2 PM, family.
Ye Yinchuan decisively ended the broadcast.
Otherwise, just by glancing at the comments and hesitating, your break time will slip away.
"I'm so tired!"
Ye Yinchuan stretched.
Although I am very satisfied with my current life and career.
But broadcasting for hours on end, and your mouth gets tired from talking so much, it really gets tiring.
Especially in terms of mental well-being, constantly interacting with the comments section is a significant drain on one's energy.
"Today was actually alright."
Ye Yinchuan carefully considered the effects, concluding that it might be due to the water from Shui Jun's foot bath.
Physically, I no longer experience symptoms like lower back pain, stiff neck, or blurred vision.
"I don't want to think about anything anymore."
Ye Yinchuan spread his arms, leaned back, and lay down next to the little Snorlax.
The little Snorlax behind him was half asleep. Sensing Ye Yinchuan approaching, it moved forward and hugged Ye Yinchuan's head.
This gave Ye Yinchuan a feeling of being enveloped, which was very comfortable and reassuring.
"Meow!"
The Firefly, which had been sleeping on the computer desk, came to the computer, typed on the keyboard for a while, and then, seemingly bored, jumped onto Ye Yinchuan.
"Ouch!"
Although the Firefly was relatively light, Ye Yinchuan still felt a solid hit when it jumped down like that.
"Little kitty, daring to jump around like that, do you want to be petted?"
Ye Yinchuan caught the Fire Spotted Cat, rubbed it vigorously, and then stuck it to his face like a ball, sucking on it intensely.
"Meow meow meow?"
Although Firecat had some understanding of the effects and power of [Heavenly Hand] and was prepared to defend against it.
But today Ye Yinchuan's technique was unusually aggressive.
It is sharp yet somewhat rough, and rough yet gentle.
The key point is that this is the first time for Litten to be sucked like this.
"Uh...why does it smell a bit like gasoline?"
Ye Yinchuan felt very excited.
No wonder some people say they like the smell of gasoline.
The reason why the Litsea cat has this smell is probably related to the oil on its fur.
It's probably composed of similar components to gasoline, which is why it's easily combustible?
"Click..."
Ye Yinchuan lay in Munchlax's arms, cuddled Litten for a while, and then casually started playing with Munchlax.
To be fair, Munchlax's fur is becoming increasingly shiny and its body is becoming more and more muscular.
Ye Yinchuan especially liked to touch his belly because the fat there was the most succulent, the hair the finest, and most importantly, it was gentle and comfortable, and he never got tired of touching it.
After petting the two furry friends until they lay motionless on the ground, they needed to rest for a while.
Ye Yinchuan then stroked the ugly fish again.
If you feel its belly turn upwards, it floats on the surface of the water with its eyes rolling back, and it twitches slightly, that's normal...
"On the surface, you seem indifferent, and you don't even realize it yourself, but in reality, you're already desperate... Ugly Fish, you're still too green!"
Seeing the ugly fish's appearance, Ye Yinchuan spoke like a villain.
"Ooh..."
Ugly Fish's voice was weak and listless, like a pitiful creature that had been played with and abandoned.
"Meow……"
The Firefly Cat couldn't help but look at it with disdain.
What is this human doing, talking nonsense all day long?
I always felt he was evil!
Almost every minute, Litten felt an urge to run away, perhaps because it had a wandering heart.
Unfortunately, it couldn't resist these human hands. Every day, besides eating and getting stronger, it wanted to touch these hands, feel the texture of each finger, and experience the different sensations brought by different techniques as they moved across its body...
Just being touched every day is enough to send me to heaven.
But going to heaven is one thing, but there are different ways to do it and different experiences...
Fire-spotted Cat often stares blankly into the empty space, wondering if it has become a useless cat.
Just like this chubby blue cat.
Besides human hands and caresses, there are many other reasons why Litten can't live without them.
The house, though not large, is warm and makes it feel very safe.
The blue fat cat has a very good temper. You can jump on it as much as you want, and sleeping on it is more comfortable than anywhere else.
Outside, you'll be exposed to the cold wind and can only sleep under bridges.
As for food, they have to compete with other homeless people or scavenge for something barely edible from roadside garbage heaps.
Compared to Munchlax, which is not picky about anything, Litten is much more particular about its food.
Therefore, survival becomes even more difficult.
How could things be like this now, where you can eat your fill of premium Pokémon food at every meal, with occasional chicken drumsticks as a snack, and enjoy all sorts of delicious human food, all while indulging in a smooth and luxurious experience.
"Meow……"
Since things have come to this, I should just go to sleep and not think about it too much.
Litten lay down beside Munchlax, feeling very peaceful.
In fact, there are probably more reasons why it stayed, but its pride makes it unwilling to admit it, even in its heart.
That's the warmth, love, and inclusiveness, and... the feeling of home.
The cat, Flame-Spotted Cat, couldn't face the fact that it had accidentally injured its owner. When it ran away and became a stray, it thought about going back to see its owner, but in the end, it stubbornly endured it.
It has long forgotten, or rather, never experienced, what home feels like.
"Click..."
The little Snorlax was enjoying being petted and lay on the ground, its mind filled with thoughts of the various foods it had recently eaten.
Since Ye Yinchuan taught it to chew its food, it has been able to better appreciate the beauty of food.
So sometimes when I have nothing to do, I squint my eyes, half-asleep, and reminisce about the food I've eaten.
Grilled lamb skewers, multigrain pancakes, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, freshly roasted kiln chicken...
If this were a comic, it would probably have a cloud appearing above Snorlax's head, with various chibi-style food images constantly changing inside.
"Well……"
Ye Yinchuan glanced at it; the little Snorlax had a happy smile on its face, and drool was dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Even without using "Listen to My Heart," you can know what Munchlax is thinking.
Every day, he's either sleeping or eating; he's even thinking about food while sleeping.
Suddenly, Snorlax frowned.
It vaguely dreamt that a Tauros was chasing it and Ye Yinchuan because the Tauros thought the stir-fried beef they were eating was made from the meat of its own kind.
Then... Snorlax stepped forward to protect Ye Yinchuan.
With a single impact, Kentaro was sent flying.
Ye Yinchuan, Firespotted Cat, Ugly Fish, and Wood Owl Egg were all clapping for it.
"Click..."
Munchlax will always protect its owner; Munchlax is the best bodyguard!
If Ye Yinchuan knew that there was such a scene in Munchlax's dream, he would definitely be very moved.
[Ding! This live stream has earned a total of 17181 influence points!]
[Current Reputation Level: IV. Somewhat Famous → V. Rising Fame!]
[To advance to the next reputation level, you will need 496,212 more Influence Points!]
[Do you want to claim the new Reputation Gift Pack?]
The system notification says, "It's late, but it's here."
Ye Yinchuan was still thinking about whether or not to apply medicine to the Mumu Owl Egg.
Now that the system has been upgraded, let's claim the rewards.
[You have claimed the Reputation Gift Pack and obtained the exclusive skill: Shadow of the Overlord!]
"The Shadow of the Overlord?"
Upon seeing the name of this new exclusive ability, Ye Yinchuan's heart skipped a beat.
It wasn't fear, but rather a mix of excitement and surprise.
What does that mean? Overlord?
This affix is incredibly important in the Pokémon world!
No matter what kind of Pokémon it is, if it has the "Dominator" prefix, it's a completely different concept.
Even the dominant Caterpie is considered awesome by everyone.
Of course.
There are differences even among the dominant powers.
It's still a classic case.
The dominant Caterpie seems no match for the dominant Charmander.
But then again, it also evolves to its highest form.
Butterfree, the dominant power, might actually be able to fight Charizard, the dominant power.
There are just too many factors that determine the strength of a Pokémon.
Just as there are differences between races, the differences in individual values are also unimaginably large.
The "individual" mentioned here is not a single, measurable value.
In short, the name alone filled Ye Yinchuan with anticipation for this exclusive ability.
He quickly checked the specific effects.
[Exclusive Skill: Shadow of the Overlord]
[Description: As a streamer, simply sitting indoors connecting with others is ultimately a huge limitation; you can't access more rare and powerful Pokémon. However, if you leave the safety of the city and stream outdoors in the wild, you must possess considerable strength to ensure the safety of yourself and your Pokémon.]
Therefore, you have awakened a brand new exclusive ability, "Shadow of the Overlord".
The description of the Overlord's Shadow is as follows:
I. Main effects of Overlord's Shadow:
You can spend a significant amount of Influence Points to summon a special shadow of a Pokémon you have tamed, depending on its status.
This shadow will battle with Pokémon, and during the battle, the Pokémon's level and battle skills will be rapidly and greatly improved!
The goal is to train this Pokémon to reach the strength and direction of a Totem Pokémon, thus creating the Shadow of the Totem Pokémon!
II. Important Notes for Overlord's Shadow:
1. The strength of a Totem Pokémon is always slightly greater than the designated Pokémon. However, the Totem Pokémon has a certain limit; if the Pokémon is too powerful, its use may fail.
2. The Shadow of the Overlord can be used on other Pokémon, but it costs double the cost of taming your own Pokémon. The stronger the Pokémon, the higher the cost.
3. As long as you have enough points, there is no limit to the number of times you can use it on your own Pokémon, but you still need to consider whether your Pokémon's condition is overloaded; if it is not your own Pokémon, you can only use it once a day on a single Pokémon!
4. The maximum value of Overlord's Shadow can be increased based on the following conditions:
① The overall strength of the Pokémon you have tamed ② The number and strength of the Pokémon you have defeated ③ Your encounters with elite or Totem Pokémon during outdoor live streams, and your commentary for the audience
Note: The Shadow of the Overlord will absorb Pokémon energy during battles and then replenish it to you afterward. As the maximum value of the Shadow of the Overlord increases, the effect of this replenishment will also increase!
III. Under certain conditions, a large amount of Influence Points can be consumed to elevate a Pokémon to the status of a true Overlord and grant it the "Overlord" trait. (Not yet unlocked, conditions unknown)
Looking at the somewhat lengthy effect description in front of me.
Ye Yinchuan, however, memorized it word for word with great concentration.
"Shadow of the Overlord!"
After reading it, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"To put it simply, it's about having your Pokémon battle with its shadow, which not only allows you to level up quickly but also improves your combat abilities?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel excited and delighted.
Because the effects of the Overlord's Shadow are far more complex than that.
Just reading the description made Ye Yinchuan feel a thrill that sent shivers down his spine.
Although the number of influence points required for system upgrades is increasing.
However, the abilities provided, while not becoming increasingly abnormal, are definitely worth more than the price!
"Awesome! Incredibly powerful! With this Totem Shadow, my future Pokémon training will be a breeze. It's practically a guaranteed path to Totem!"
Ye Yinchuan had already imagined what would happen with the support of [Super Influence] and [Shadow of the Overlord].
One day in the future, all of my Pokémon will be S-rank, and all will be Totem Pokémon...
Wow, that scene was incredibly oppressive.
What champion, what king... I am a streamer, dare to challenge me?
"No...it's not just Pokémon. This Totem Shadow can directly absorb Pokémon energy and then feed it back to me. In other words, not only is Pokémon training no problem, but my own training can be completely relaxed!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes gleamed, reflecting on the benefits brought by the spirit energy.
He has already gained firsthand experience and understanding.
Therefore, he could already foresee the benefits that the effect of the Shadow of the Overlord would bring in the long term.
Sooner or later, my Pokémon will be incredibly powerful.
And I will easily become a true super rookie!
【Shadow of the Overlord】is the second exclusive ability for Pokémon training after 【Super Influence】. Its effect is not only powerful, but it can also complement the latter.
One enhances talent, the other makes leveling up easy.
Ye Yinchuan flipped through the descriptions repeatedly, only finding the words "invincible" and "comprehensive".
"Speaking of which..."
Ye Yinchuan was very happy, but he didn't let himself get carried away or become overly proud.
Some rational thinking has begun to return.
"Judging from this unique ability, the system is probably encouraging me to expand the content of my live streams, not just indoors, but outdoors."
Ye Yinchuan analyzed his system.
The help I received came from two main sources: live streaming and Pokémon.
Perhaps due to the shared global perspective, these two are closely intertwined.
"Indeed, outdoor live streaming is also a development direction I'm considering. But indoor live streaming is very simple; all you need is a computer and one person. Outdoor live streaming involves many more considerations."
Moreover, to truly achieve the desired effect in outdoor live streaming, one needs to go to some advanced or remote wilderness areas, which requires me to have a professional trainer's license, which is the foundation...
The thought of taking the exam gave Ye Yinchuan a huge headache.
I haven't even passed my own appraiser certification exam yet, and now there's another professional trainer certification coming up.
Originally, the professional trainer exam was a long-term process.
Although it is also part of Ye Yinchuan's long-term plans and personal aspirations, it is definitely not something for the near future.
After all, his original Pokémon training intensity was far from keeping up.
Improving one's strength is not something that can be achieved overnight.
But now... having obtained the exclusive ability [Shadow of the Overlord], it's like having a cheat code in hand.
That's a different story.
"Take the exam... what else can you do? Everyone stays silent during the exam!"
I'll get a professional appraiser certificate first. It will be useful even for outdoor treasure hunting. Not to mention that the platform may increase its supervision in the future, I need to be prepared.
Even with the Shadow of the Conqueror, the progress of becoming a professional trainer will be much faster, but training still takes time.
Even though the Dominator's Shadow ability has unlimited uses, points are limited, and Pokémon will get tired. So, trying to get rich quick is impossible.
Ye Yinchuan pondered to himself.
The effects of the Overlord's Shadow are already incredibly powerful; we can't expect to get the Dragon Slayer Sword with a single click and have the training process swept away with one click, can we?
I wouldn't play this cracked version of the game even if it were free; it's too cheap!
Just like the Pokémon games of the past.
Even without a cheat code, there are actually many possibilities for happiness.
But once the "golden finger" is added, the flavor seems to change, and everything becomes dull and boring.
Of course.
Life is different from games; a little bit of fun can be quite enjoyable.
No, that's not right... I just didn't turn it off, how did you say I turned it on?
"There's another question... How exactly does this Overlord's Shadow manifest? If I use this ability to train at the stadium, will it give me away?"
Although the Pokémon world, in general, has a relatively harmonious style.
Unlike some novels where you travel to a world filled with darkness, cruelty, and cannibalism, this is not a world you travel to.
But Ye Yinchuan also knew that fame is a double-edged sword.
If you don't hide anything at all, you're bound to run into some trouble.
The key is to make a fortune quietly! Especially in the early game, you must play cautiously, develop your strength, and avoid recklessness!
"But training at home might just lead to the house being torn down..."
Pokémon's power is too extraordinary; if you really want to destroy a house, one Munchlax is enough.
Even a single spark from a Litten Cat can easily burn down a house.
"Well, I guess I should give it a try..."
Riding on his excitement, Ye Yinchuan had a bold idea.
"It's late at night now, and I'm sneaking out to train in the dark. I don't think anyone will notice me, right?"
Then I can truly explore the specific performance and effects of [Shadow of the Overlord], so that I can use it more effectively later on...”
Generally speaking, Ye Yinchuan doesn't go out late at night.
Especially, who would be so kind as to take their Pokémon out for training late at night?
But now, he's going to go completely insane!
"Little Kirby, Loser."
Ye Yinchuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the two comfortable and carefree Pokémon.
This gave both of them a bad feeling.
Especially Litten, whose face clearly says, "What are you doing, you evil human, meow!"
"Do you crave power? Do you yearn to become stronger? Or rather... do you want to become the dominant force among Pokémon?"
If anyone saw Ye Yinchuan talking to Pokémon late at night.
They would definitely think he's crazy!
But all Ye Yinchuan wanted to say was... "I understand, applause!"
"Click...?"
The little Snorlax looked puzzled. It asked, "What time is it? What year is it?"
Lizard was also confused; this human...
But Ye Yinchuan didn't care. In the end, after much persuasion and the lure of Pokémon food, he finally gave in.
He took Snorlax and Litten and tiptoed out the door.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Rowlet's eggs are already healthy and don't need any medication.
Ye Yinchuan even took a picture and asked the doctor about it.
The doctor found it incredible.
He said that it was a medical miracle that a weakened egg could recover so quickly!
"Ooh..."
Before leaving the house, Ugly Fish once again voiced its doubts.
It means, when can I play with everyone again? Where do you all go each time?
Ye Yinchuan then told Ugly Fish:
"Ugly Fish, it's not that I don't want to take you out to play, it's just that it's all air outside, and it's dangerous... Let's wait until tomorrow, I'll take you to the swimming pool tomorrow so you can play with everyone!"
Sorry for the late update! Here's a 13,000-word update! Reputation level increased, new exclusive ability arrives! The protagonist's Pokémon strength is about to be boosted! By the way, we're in the top ten of today's best-selling anime/manga charts!
