Pokémon Home Store Unlocked

Qin Feng stopped as Jiang Xiaoyu walked over to him.

"Did you need something?" Qin Feng asked.

Really, his impression of Jiang Xiaoyu came down to just two labels: rich beauty and straight-A student.

Qin Feng came from an ordinary family, and his grades were merely decent.

He was pretty handsome, though.

But!

Unless something unexpected happened, their paths probably would never cross.

"Excuse me, where did you buy this Pikachu? Could you tell me?"

Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a sincere look in her eyes.

"Uh!!!"

Qin Feng genuinely had no idea how to answer that question yet.

The system's Pokémon Home hadn't opened yet.

He didn't even know exactly what kind of store it was.

Still, he took out his phone and brought up his QR code for adding friends.

"How about you add me on WeChat? I'll let you know once I find the address!"

He had expected Jiang Xiaoyu to politely decline.

Instead, she took out her phone and scanned the code without a moment's hesitation.

"Okay. Thank you, Qin Feng."

"Bye, Pikachu!"

Pikachu's eyes lit up, and he stretched out a paw. "Pika~ Pika!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's sweet, polite smile, Qin Feng scratched his head awkwardly.

Girl, don't tell me you think I'm just trying to get your WeChat!

I really don't know yet!

His roommate Wang Lin shook his head helplessly beside him. "Damn it! Using a cute pet to pick up girls. Shameless!"

Deng Jialiang chuckled. "Bro, we might not get the main course, but you could lend us your little treasure. We'll settle for the scraps!"

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch Pikachu.

To his surprise, the little fellow immediately made an angry face.

お(｡◕ˇｏˇ◕｡)や

"Baka!"

Startled, Deng Jialiang immediately pulled his hand back and complained:

"See that? This little guy's just like his owner-a total pervert."

Wang Lin chuckled. "Pervert or not, keeping your hands off him is definitely the right call!"

"Those hands of yours have already brought your fantasies to life countless times!"

"Too filthy!"

"Hahaha!"

Pikachu looked baffled and turned to Qin Feng. "Pika, pika!"

Qin Feng smiled and stroked his soft, squishy little head.

"Egg Yolk, don't let them be a bad influence on you. Learn from me and be an honest, trustworthy, respectable little gentleman."

His words instantly earned scorn from both roommates.

"You've taken shamelessness to a whole new level!"

After they returned to the dorm, his two roommates quickly fell asleep.

Pikachu also fell asleep on Qin Feng's bed, with a snot bubble puffing out of his nostril. He was adorable!

Watching the constantly updating attention count on the system, Qin Feng was too excited to sleep.

[Attention: 78,965]

[Attention: 79,032]

At this rate, his attention count should hit a hundred thousand within an hour.

With that thought, Qin Feng took out his phone and opened a short-video app.

(Shocking! Internet-famous Giant Poodle Domi was instantly defeated by a mouse...)

It was the familiar clickbait style, and the video showed Pikachu throwing punches.

Although the camerawork was amateurish.

The video still had thirty thousand likes.

Qin Feng believed that after tonight, Pikachu's popularity would definitely reach the millions, perhaps even tens of millions.

He opened the comments.

"What is this thing? How can it be this cute? This is downright lethal!"

"Not gonna lie, I'm well into my forties, and I still stared at this little thing for over half an hour! This damn girlish heart of mine-how embarrassing!"

"Who'll give me one to raise? I promise I'll rip out a rib every day to make soup for it."

"If you took this little thing to the zoo entrance for photos and charged ten yuan a shot, wouldn't you make two hundred a day?"

"I thought animals weren't allowed to become spirits after the founding of the country? What... what..."

"Buying one for a million. Cash on delivery. Honesty first!"

Practically every comment expressed a desire to have one.

Of course, there were skeptics too, questioning whether this was an invasive species that would disrupt the ecological balance and so on.

Others claimed it involved illegal genetic modification and violated the "Biosafety Law."

Among those people, however, Qin Feng spotted a familiar profile picture.

The username was Third Young Master Ye.

After tapping the profile picture to enlarge it, Qin Feng's lips curled slightly.

The person in the photo was none other than Ye Chen.

"So he really does want revenge on me. But trying to steer public opinion with comments like these won't be that easy, will it?"

Just as Qin Feng muttered to himself, the system's voice sounded again.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! Host's attention has reached 100,000. The system's first mission is complete!]

[Pokémon Home store unlocked.]

[The Pokémon Home store is located at 58 Academy Street, outside Jiangning University's north gate.]

[When the number of Pokémon Trainers reaches 10,000, the Pokémon League Arena-Match Battle will become available.]

[Current number of Pokémon Trainers: 1.]

[Mission: Reach 100 million attention to reduce Pokémon prices by 20%.]

[Reach 100 million in sales to reduce Pokémon prices by 20%.]

Looking at the dizzying array of system notifications, Qin Feng felt his adrenaline surge.

Match Battles?

Did that mean he could get matched online and battle others in the future?

Would the system even offer rewards?

Would Ranked Battles become available later too?

According to the system, the Pokémon League System would open once there were ten thousand Trainers. Wouldn't that mean more surprises at a hundred thousand or a million?

If it hadn't been the middle of the night, Qin Feng would have rushed headlong to Pokémon Home at 58 Academy Street to see it for himself.

He had only one thought now: spread Pokémon as quickly as possible. He was determined to turn this world into a Pokémon world.
