Charizard, my god: Red! Guys, it's the real Red! Sob, sob, all I wanted in this life was to see Red's Charizard once. Please give me a chance...
After looking through everything,
Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief. Most of the comments were still leaning positive.
There were only a few ridiculous remarks from people who clearly hadn't thought things through.
What he hadn't expected was
that he had actually drawn the attention of Blue, the Breeder, and Red, the Battler.
Lin Feng opened their profiles and looked at their tens of millions of followers, unable to stop himself from drawing in a sharp breath.
There was no doubt about it.
These were their real accounts.
As he washed up, he thought things over. By the time he was done, an idea had surfaced in his mind...
Since the buzz around him was so huge this time, could he seize this opportunity to build up his own Douyin account?
Breeding Shop Bustling with People
"They're here, they're here."
After washing up, Lin Feng rushed to the entrance in a panic, shouting, "Rotom, remember to record it."
"Rotom~"
Rotom activated its recording function.
The task Lin Feng had assigned it was to handle filming and video editing in preparation for growing his Douyin account.
The moment he pushed open the door, the crowd gathered outside startled Lin Feng.
It was only six in the morning, yet there were already dozens of people waiting outside.
Some sat by the entrance, while others rested along the Bluestone Path.
However, a small number of them were holding selfie sticks and chattering nonstop.
"They're here, they're here, everyone! The Neighbor Breeder House in Wutong Town is finally open! Let's go in and take a look to see what's so special about this little shop!"
The young man sitting on the steps outside the Breeding House immediately wanted to head inside when he saw the door finally open.
"Wait, wait."
Lin Feng stood in the doorway and called out in time. Then, he took out a wooden sign and hung it at the entrance.
"Each type of Energy Cube is limited to three portions per person per day."
It was a helpless measure.
Looking at the people outside, Lin Feng seriously doubted that if he did not impose a limit, the Energy Cubes he had stayed up all night preparing would be sold out the instant they entered.
What he wanted more was for as many Pokémon as possible to get a chance to eat the Energy Cubes he made.
After all, every time he made a new Pokémon happy, he received a special reward.
"Huh? Boss, your shop just opened, and you're already making rules like this? Aren't you afraid nobody will come buy Energy Cubes from you later?"
The first young man who had wanted to enter froze.
The customers behind him also frowned.
It was one thing for a newly opened shop to have no opening promotions.
But setting rules right from the start was hardly a respectful way to treat customers.
Faced with such doubts, Lin Feng remained very sincere.
"Sorry, sorry. I just didn't expect everyone to arrive so early, so I didn't prepare much. In order to let every person... every Pokémon have a chance to try them first, and so that the people behind you don't come here for nothing, I hope everyone can understand..."
You couldn't slap a smiling face.
Lin Feng's attitude immediately eased the expressions of the people behind him, who had been frowning and feeling displeased.
On top of that, Lin Feng looked only seventeen or eighteen, and he was rather handsome.
So they said nothing more and walked inside.
The Breeding House's layout was very simple.
There were several glass display counters like the ones in a bakery, filled with different Energy Cubes. Outside the counters were dedicated sample portions for tasting.
On both sides, Lin Feng had also placed Spicy Pepper Fruits, Peachy Fruits, Oran Berries, and some vegetables he had picked from the breeding garden.
There was no helping it.
In the early stages, that was about all a Breeding Shop could sell.
"Holy crap, everyone, you can see that we've entered the Breeding Shop now. The first thing we see is Energy Cubes.
"Look at the quality of these Energy Cubes... whew, they're bright in color and nice and bouncy. The quality looks pretty good, but whether they actually work depends on how the Pokémon feel after eating them."
"Shopkeeper, these Energy Cubes can be sampled, right?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Of course, but if your Pokémon is too big, I don't recommend calling it out inside."
The young man nodded, took out a Poké Ball, and tapped it lightly.
A Beedrill immediately appeared inside the shop.
Seeing that someone was willing to test the quality of the Energy Cubes, everyone present turned their eyes over in unspoken agreement.
Pokémon were very spiritual creatures.
They could roughly tell whether a certain food was good for them, or rather, just how beneficial it was.
And the one the young man picked up was a Stamina Energy Cube made by Lin Feng with Peachy Fruits.
Beedrill speared the small Energy Cube with one of its needles and swallowed it in a single bite.
Bzzzz...
The instant the Energy Cube entered its mouth, it froze.
Only the sound of its wings vibrating remained.
"What's wrong, Beedrill?" Its trainer frowned.
The next moment.
Congratulations to the host for increasing Beedrill's Joy Value from 20% to 60%. Reward: ten bags of Golden Fertilizer, three Rare Candies, and one Dragonite's Eye Fruit (when consumed by a Pokémon over a long period, it can increase Defense Individual Values).
As the voice rang out in Lin Feng's mind, Beedrill began moving again. It looked at its trainer and pointed at the Energy Cubes here with one of its stingers. "Bzz..."
Like a girlfriend clinging to her boyfriend at a watermelon stand, it was saying, "Buy watermelon..."
No watermelon, no going home...
"Does it taste that good?"
The young man holding the selfie stick froze, but he did not forget to continue his commentary. "You can tell that my Beedrill really likes the Energy Cubes here. The boss has labeled these as Stamina Energy Cubes, which can restore stamina after a battle."
"Everyone, I'll buy a portion and test it when I get back. I'll give you all a review!"
"Boss, how much is one portion?"
Lin Feng gave the price he had decided on long ago. "One thousand."
"Huh?" The young man paused.
One portion of Energy Cubes was only about a kilogram, enough for a Pokémon to eat for three days at most.
If one portion cost one thousand,
then the price was a little steep.
However, if they could truly allow a Pokémon to recover a large amount of stamina in a short time,
then for Trainers who spent all year in the wild, they would definitely be the best choice to carry during a journey.
Whether that was true or not remained to be seen.
With the mentality of giving it a try, he had Lin Feng weigh out a portion, then quickly left the Breeding Shop.
If it was fake, he would return to this little shop within half an hour.
He would expose the shop's true nature.
And seize this wave of traffic at the same time!
Seeing this, the others also called out their own Pokémon. After letting them sample a piece, they all chose to buy one portion first and let their Pokémon try it.
What Lin Feng had not expected was
that there were relatively few people in the early morning, but after eight o'clock, more and more people came into the shop. Some chose to buy three portions, while others bought two.
Some even saw that the vegetables placed to the side looked good and picked out a few to take home.
The situation was such that
by around nine-thirty in the morning,
the Energy Cubes in the Breeding House had sold out...
Just then, a somewhat hurried figure walked in.
It was the young streamer who had sampled the Energy Cubes first...
Abundant Rewards, a Sigh of the Times
"Do you have any left? Are there any Stamina Energy Cubes left?"
The young man asked impatiently the moment he entered.
His name was Luan Ming, and he was a streamer who specialized in reviewing Energy Cubes.
After Luan Ming left earlier, he casually found a spot and began testing just how effective these Stamina Energy Cubes were.
He had Beedrill expend more than half its stamina, then eat several Stamina Energy Cubes. In less than three minutes, its stamina showed signs of being almost fully restored!
