"Famous throughout the land!"
Looking at the new reputation level, Ye Yinchuan immediately felt a sense of exhilaration, as if he had achieved a breakthrough.
This is what upgrading feels like!
The reason why games are so captivating is because they quantify leveling up. As long as you fight monsters, your experience will increase a little, and when you have enough experience, you will level up!
Similarly, why is reality painful?
Because its experience bar is invisible, you never know how many monsters you need to fight or how many challenges you need to overcome to level up...
What's even more frightening is that in reality, you can't just move forward whenever you want.
You will encounter setbacks, low points... and even the darkest moments of your life!
However, none of this mattered to Ye Yinchuan now; he was on an upward trajectory, full of vigor and high spirits...
It has a system, and it's not much different from leveling up and fighting monsters in a game. It's still the kind of game where you can have a blast by spending money!
Of course, even without a system.
Ye Yinchuan understood this principle well and knew how to use it in return...
Trying hard to find the hidden experience bars in reality, trying hard to find those things that I can make concrete...
At the same time, recognize reality—
Reversing, hesitation, low points, even the darkest moments of life...
These things aren't scary; what's truly terrifying is whether you still have the courage to stand up!
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!
Those who can stand up after experiencing the darkest moments of their lives will experience unprecedented and rapid growth... This is the reward that the brave deserve!
Of course, it's easy to talk when you're not in someone else's shoes. You can't expect everyone to be able to stand up for themselves, because you'll never know how dark someone else's darkness truly is...
However, it is impossible to make horizontal comparisons between people.
Just like that wise saying.
When it comes to the script of life, you only have two choices—act or give up!
Regardless, Ye Yinchuan cherishes the present.
Do you want to claim the new Reputation Gift Pack?
Seeing the familiar notification, Ye Yinchuan smiled and decisively accepted it!
[You have claimed the Reputation Gift Pack and gained the exclusive skill: Pampering at Will!]
[Exclusive Skill: Pampering at Will]
Your love for Pokémon is as clear as day; you love them all so much that you crave to possess every stage of their evolution.
Just as your live stream can be recorded in its entirety and replayed at will, your love for Pokémon should be the same...
The Pokémon you capture can freely change their stages under your influence, causing their appearance to change.
It's important to note that while your level and moves won't change with your appearance, the resulting changes in size will affect your actual combat power. Please switch between them as needed!
Each switch requires a cooldown period. After the cooldown is complete, you can switch again without any cost. If you need to switch regardless of the cooldown, it will consume Influence Points. The more frequently you switch in a short period, the more Influence Points will be consumed!
Ye Yinchuan looked at this unique ability and fell into a brief state of contemplation.
So, this new exclusive skill doesn't bring any fundamental improvement? It merely allows your Pokémon to switch between different stages...
wait?
Then can my Owl turn back into a Wood Owl?
Can a hot cat turn back into a fiery cat?
Even if Munchlax evolves, it can still look like Munchlax!
Milotic... well, let's forget about that. It's okay to take it out and reminisce about it occasionally!
Even if CocoDora evolves in the future, it can still be this cute little metallic bump!
Who says this ability is bad? This ability is amazing!
Ye Yinchuan was overjoyed, and he noticed that this ability seemed to be costless!
To be precise, it consumes no energy during normal use, but if you switch between them rapidly in a short period of time, then it will consume energy...
That makes sense.
"Looks like I still can't change size at will!"
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly.
At the same time, he had already imagined some possible scenarios.
That's the ability—it seems to offer no real improvement to my streaming career or the strength of my Pokémon...
But in fact, this ability definitely has practical value.
Imagine this: in battle, if you were facing damage that was originally unavoidable, using "Pamper Freedom" to revert to your evolved form and shrink your size would make it much easier to avoid, wouldn't it?
Of course, this also has conditions for use, or certain risks.
The reason is simple: sometimes, attacks of the same intensity can cause completely different damage effects when they hit large and small targets.
Take Munchlax for example. A fireball about the same size as it can completely cover it and deal full damage...
But if it were a larger Snorlax, it would probably only hit a certain part of the body at most...
One suffered full-body burns, the other suffered localized burns...
This principle should be self-evident, right?
In actual combat, [Pamper Freely] can also achieve the effect of surprise. For example, you may think I am just a Fire Spotted Cat, but I am actually a Hot Cat, or even a Blazing Roaring Tiger. It is hard for the enemy not to underestimate me!
This could be considered a case of "pretending to be weak to take advantage of others."
Suppose someone wants to assassinate you. Seeing that all your Pokémon are in their baby form, you'd likely be less vigilant, or severely underestimate yourself...
Then, when they reached him, all of his little babies transformed into their final evolved forms...
Hey!
Just imagining such a scene made Ye Yinchuan want to laugh.
The expressions on the enemy's faces must have been quite something!
Of course, such methods cannot be easily exposed in public battles or certain competitions, as they are difficult to explain.
However, in the wild, whether it's against other players or Pokémon, well, I'm sorry to say that's not possible!
Putting aside the battles...
This ability is also very useful in life.
Even with a Poké Ball, it's still quite inconvenient to carry a large Pokémon around.
However, in its initial form, it's like a little baby, perfect for holding in your arms.
After saying all that, Ye Yinchuan actually only had one thought in his mind right now—
"My Rowlet is back!"
Ye Yinchuan immediately summoned his Pokémon and then used the [Pamper Freedom] skill.
Pink heart-shaped rays of light continuously emanated from the Feathered Owl and the Hot Cat, and then they transformed back into their childhood forms.
That is, Rowlet and Litten.
"Meow?"
Sang Biao looked at his cat paws, feeling his field of vision shrink, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
(Meow? You evil human, what are you doing now! What's with this weak body, meow!)
"Coo coo!"
Owl was very happy and turned back into a bouncy little rice ball, flapping its wings and pouncing on Ye Yinchuan.
Then... Ye Yinchuan felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest by a car.
Tears welled up in his eyes from the pain, but he still held Owl in his arms, stroking its head. Seeing that Owl had returned to its original form except for the Minami Kotori hairstyle, Ye Yinchuan felt a mix of emotions and was filled with emotion.
"Owlwood, hehehe... Owlwood!"
Ye Yinchuan held Mumu Xiao in his arms, savoring the moment. He had thought he would never have such an experience again, that it would only remain in his memory and become a source of remembrance!
What is lost and then found is the most precious!
"Click!"
The little Snorlax stood to the side, looking somewhat sulky.
On one hand, it was because Woody Owl was clumsy and hurt its owner, which made it very unhappy.
On the other hand, Ye Yinchuan was being too doting on Rowlet, which made Kirby jealous.
Kirby raises his hands, asking for a hug and a cuddle!
Ye Yinchuan didn't want to spoil the mood and immediately went to greet him.
He then educated Rowlet, reminding him to be careful with his increased power after leveling up and evolving, and not to be reckless and cause accidental injury!
"Coo coo!"
Rowlet folded its two wings together and placed them on one side of its body, lowered its head, but raised its eyes, looking pitiful and innocent, with a coquettish look that said, "Mommy, I know I was wrong."
"Who can withstand this?"
Ye Yinchuan immediately lost his sternness.
Just then, a tail gently brushed past Ye Yinchuan, and he realized that Milotic was also staring straight at him, its eyes flashing with a hidden longing.
Through the voice message, Ye Yinchuan also understood Milas's thoughts.
So Milotic does miss the days when it was Feebas!
Especially that fish tank; after it evolved and grew bigger, it never went back to that state. And that feeling of being rendered powerless by Ye Yinchuan's [Heavenly Hand], floating on the surface of the water, wanting to move but still unable to resist twitching every now and then…
Hmm, something seems off?
In short... satisfy it!
Soon, the huge Milotic disappeared from the room, replaced by a pucker floating on the surface of the tank, twitching occasionally, its slightly dazed face showing a satisfied expression...
I feel like I can still see a hint of blush!
In just a short while, Sang Biao was already starting to doubt his own existence.
Clearly, Sang Biao belongs to the type that doesn't like reverting to its evolved form; Ye Yinchuan can easily understand its logic and thought process through its mental commands...
It's nothing more than worrying about becoming weaker!
"As expected, Sang Biao is quite obsessed with intensity."
Ye Yinchuan explained briefly and let Sang Biao experience the sensation of changing size back and forth.
This time, even after turning back into Firefly Cat, Sang Biao wasn't as panicked.
Because it realized that its power was still there, and it could change back at any time...
However, Sang Biao's fear and awe of Ye Yinchuan only intensified as a result.
(This human is terrifying, meow! If you don't do what he wants, you'll be turned back into your original form, meow! I'd better be honest and try to get along with him, meow!)
Ok……
The unruly Sang Biao's "loyalty" to Ye Yinchuan is getting higher and higher!
For a firm approach, there's "Pamper Yourself"; for a softer approach, there's "Heavenly Hands"...
In the end, Sang Biao is just a little kitten. How can he withstand such a combination of soft and hard tactics?
Seeing Sang Biao cautiously approach him like a cat companion, trying to act cute, even rubbing against him and observing him with sly eyes, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Having just finished absorbing Rowlet's energy, Ye Yinchuan's desires weren't so easily satisfied. He immediately grabbed Litten and began to vigorously pet and suck on it.
"Kitten, kitten, kittens are born to be played with!"
"Meow?"
Sang Biao was toyed with by Ye Yinchuan and looked utterly hopeless.
However, thanks to the [Heavenly Hands], it quickly and comfortably closed its eyes again!
"Love that can be pampered at will? Love that can stretch and contract!"
Ye Yinchuan only realized this belatedly, after enjoying the adorable pets and relaxing comfortably on the sofa.
Rowlet and Litten were perched on his back, with Snorlax nestled beside him, and Akagi resting next to it. Milotic was also circling the sofa... Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows, warm and cozy.
"It really makes a difference when the house is bigger, especially the bathroom."
Ye Yinchuan got up to go to the toilet.
The place I used to live in had the toilet almost connected to the bedroom. It was damp and smelly because it was poorly ventilated and had no windows. It was also prone to mold, which was bad for both my mood and health.
But now, the toilet is clean and tidy, with a large window next to it, and the ventilation is excellent. Mom no longer has to worry about the toilet getting moldy or smelly!
"We'll get a better one later."
Ye Yinchuan felt the improvement in his quality of life and secretly looked forward to the future.
I ordered a simple lunch.
Today I had kale and beef rice, topped with spicy satay sauce, which tasted quite good.
The rice was topped with a generous amount of beef and garnished with green kale. Scooping up the rice and vegetables and chewing it made me feel very satisfied.
The beef was not tough at all, but had a very delicate texture. It wasn't watery either, and it was authentic fresh-cut beef. The kale was crisp but not raw, and had a very refreshing feel. The spicy satay was actually not spicy, but more of a sweet, salty, and umami flavor. Together, they created a unique taste.
It feels very healthy, and all the ingredients are of high quality.
This serving, with meat included, costs 30 yuan.
Ye Yinchuan didn't eat alone; he also prepared a bowl for each of the Pokémon, so the meal cost nearly two hundred yuan.
It sounds like a lot, but for Ye Yinchuan now, it's really nothing.
After lunch, Ye Yinchuan started looking into matters related to professional examinations.
Munchlax is probably about to evolve, and the Pokémon are strong enough that they can start taking the Pro Exams as soon as possible!
Getting your license sooner has many benefits!
"Registering...do we have to take photos too? That's such a hassle, but it's a good opportunity to take a family photo of the little ones!"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Yinchuan also began to study the theoretical knowledge about professional examinations.
"The theoretical part of the professional exam, while different from the theoretical knowledge of a Pokémon appraiser, is ultimately centered around Pokémon. Having the Pokédex gives me a significant advantage..."
Ye Yinchuan was able to use tactics with ease during the live broadcast.
It simply means being able to determine the specific situation of a Pokémon at a glance, whether it is an enemy or an ally.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
Some people don't even know enough about their own Pokémon, let alone how to observe enemy situations.
"The theoretical part of professional exams, with ethics and regulations making up a large portion, is something I need to study. Although many questions can be answered with common sense and intuition, this is an exam, and some question setters deliberately ask questions that contradict common sense and intuition..."
"In addition, wilderness survival, identification of wild resources, and how to deal with danger are also very important... After all, a large part of a professional trainer's stage is still in the wild, and the purpose of going on wilderness exploration, apart from Pokémon, is basically to collect resources!"
After determining the general outline of the professional examination theory, Ye Yinchuan began to study the knowledge points bit by bit. Some of the rigid professional knowledge could only be acquired in this way.
"If you encounter a parent-child Pokémon pair in the wild, that is, a mother with her newly hatched babies, what should you do?"
"Option 1: Kill the mother, gather her flesh and blood, and harvest the cubs... Option 2: Take a detour and keep your distance... Option 3: Try to approach and feed them in a friendly manner..."
Ye Yinchuan read through the three options, then closed the book, looked to the side, and gave a puzzled look, like Tom Cat:
"Option one: a human? From a humanitarian perspective, even if it's a hunt, wouldn't they choose a parent-child pair?"
"As for option three, I guess only a naive newbie would choose that... Mothers with their pups are often the most vigilant and the most dangerous. They think they are making friendly contact, but little do they know that they have already posed a great threat to the Pokémon, and it may suddenly attack at any time..."
"Choose two!"
Ye Yinchuan opened the book, checked the answers, and indeed his thinking was correct.
He couldn't help but relax, feeling that the professional theory exam would be a piece of cake.
But soon, the next problem gave him a huge headache.
This is a picture recognition question. The question asks you to select the most valuable of the three minerals below.
Ye Yinchuan squinted, looking left and right, but he really didn't recognize him.
The theoretical exam for professional trainers is not open-book, so this question requires candidates to have knowledge of these ores and be able to apply it in practice...
The most ridiculous thing is that, unfortunately, all three pictures of the minerals are also very dark.
Ye Yinchuan, who lacked knowledge in this area, had absolutely no clue what to do.
Helpless, he could only look up the answers.
"Rhyolite, serpentine, amphibole... I'm getting dizzy just looking at these names!"
Ye Yinchuan rubbed his temples, as if he had rediscovered the pain of studying for exams.
"Fine-veined stone is the least valuable. It is a common mineral that can be found everywhere. Its characteristic is that fine lines can be seen on the surface of the stone, and there is no obvious pattern."
"The value of serpentine is secondary; its characteristics include visible snake-like patterns on its surface, and it comes in colors such as dark purple, black, and green... This mineral contains toxins, and extracting the substances from it can produce nutrients beneficial to Poison-type Pokémon..."
"The most valuable stone is the amphibole, which has visible lightning patterns on its surface and contains yellow substances... This stone often appears in places where lightning strikes are frequent. It contains a certain amount of electricity, and wild Electric-type Pokémon will absorb the electricity in it to restore their stamina."
If the electrical essence can be extracted, it is possible to artificially synthesize an electric energy cube. However, it is necessary to identify the amethyst after the electricity has been consumed and observe whether its yellow part is dull and lackluster...
With these key points in mind, Ye Yinchuan looked back at the three ore pictures in the question and immediately understood them, and his problem-solving approach became clearer.
"I see... It seems there really is a saying that one is never too old to learn. This knowledge of native Pokémon is enough for me to ponder and prepare for!"
As his mindset gradually shifted, Ye Yinchuan became increasingly engaged.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
After absorbing the effects of [Shadow of the Overlord] twice, the little Snorlax reached level 31 and its body glowed with the light of evolution!
