Digimon Attack

"Tiantian! A Lie!"

Qian Lai went up to greet them and immediately spotted the Digivice on Qi Tian's chest.

"Huh? Isn't that a new toy? That electronic pet—when's it being released?"

"He's a beta tester. He's been showing off like crazy."

A Lie was a die-hard fan of GD Racers. He did not really care about Liang Xing Toys Factory's new toys.

Of course, once it officially went on sale, he would definitely buy one as a show of support for Liang Xing Toys Factory.

"Tiantian, do you like that?"

Qian Lai jumped to conclusions, assuming the Digivice contained Goblinmon, and asked hesitantly.

"Mm-hmm! It's super attached to me!" The little guy hugged his backpack, his face full of pride.

"Kids these days are amazing!" Qian Lai praised him sincerely. He could not see anything cute about Goblinmon at all.

"Forget that for now. Racing, racing! I'm starting my stream! Those haters still dare question my skills! Today, I'll make them see what I'm capable of!"

A Lie had not neglected his GD Racers training while taking advertising gigs after the last race. He was brimming with confidence for this match!

"Sure. You two get familiar with the track first. I'll have someone prepare afternoon tea." Qian Lai did not want to win unfairly, so he gave them time to adjust.

"Tiantian, take a look at the track too and make some minor adjustments."

While waiting for Qi Tian to adjust his racer, A Lie started his stream first. Many viewers who received the notification rushed in immediately to mock him.

"Yo, yo! Isn't this A Lie, the guy who picked up first place?"

"Challenging Tiantian again?"

"Where's Tiantian? I want to see Tiantian!"

"A Lie's really gone all out, huh? Upgraded your gear?"

The comments and gifts flooded the screen right away, but A Lie did not care about the mockery at all.

The ones laughing the hardest were mostly near the top of his gift rankings.

"That equipment isn't mine. Tiantian's testing a new toy." He picked a question to answer and started chatting nonsense from there.

This was A Lie's daily routine.

"Is it from Liang Xing Toys Factory? Let's see it!"

Cruise Ship x1

The Cruise Ship boss always got straight to the point. Whenever he wanted A Lie to do something, he would usually start with a Cruise Ship gift.

"It's a toy that looks like a game console. Seems to be some kind of electronic pet."

A Lie leaned over and asked. Qi Tian proudly showed off his Digivice.

"Ah! Tiantian is so cute!"

"Cute and skilled!"

"The streamer's so cute! It's just that there's someone beside him yapping nonstop. So annoying!"

In the end, hardly anyone cared about the Digivice. Most viewers took the opportunity to praise Qi Tian.

Except for the Cruise Ship boss.

"Did they buy the Electronic Baby license? What new tricks does it have?"

The Cruise Ship boss believed Liang Xing Toys Factory would not reheat old ideas. Even if they had bought the license, there had to be some groundbreaking innovation!

Just like GD Racers compared to Mini 4WD.

The only fundamental difference was the GD Chip, but precisely because of the GD Chip, GD Racers had utterly crushed Mini 4WD's market share.

Better-informed businessmen actually knew that the Japanese Contact had started throwing another tantrum.

The Cruise Ship boss had heard some rumors too. He had not expected Liang Xing Toys Factory to develop another new toy so quickly while facing retaliation.

But he really could not imagine what new tricks electronic pets could still offer.

"Electronic Baby" had come out in the late nineties, and its sequels had never stopped over the years. Nearly every possible electronic-pet gimmick had already been tried.

It would not be easy for Liang Xing Toys Factory to claim a share of this industry.

"Electronic pets are boring. There's no way they can surpass Electronic Baby."

"This doesn't seem very streamable, does it?"

With the Cruise Ship boss taking the lead, the chat began listing Electronic Baby's glorious achievements.

Back then, video game consoles had swept through the toy world, even affecting games to some extent.

In its heyday, a powerful electronic pet made any kid the center of attention!

Things were different now. Electronic pets had been replaced by mobile games.

"Did Liang Xing Toys Factory set its sights on minors' pockets?"

A comment suddenly drifted across the screen. Everyone who saw it froze for a moment before realizing what it meant.

The notice on preventing minors from becoming addicted to online games!

"Holy crap! That could work?"

"If they nail the raising mechanics and the battles, it might really have potential!"

"??? Isn't that just what Electronic Baby already did ages ago?"

"Then it definitely can't compete with Electronic Baby!"

Another wave of debate broke out, but A Lie had not even seen the full toy yet, so he did not dare make any casual judgments.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! A Lie! Where are you guys? Behind you!"

The comments suddenly began frantically warning him. A Lie had never seen them cooperate so wholeheartedly in a prank before, so he turned around obligingly.

"Holy crap!"

A beam of light seemed to tear through space from the sky, shining down upon the ground. A Goblinmon with a tuft of red hair on its head charged out, waving a wooden club.

There were two Goblinmon in total. Once they emerged, the beam of light vanished as well.

A Lie reacted incredibly fast. He grabbed a nearby chair and, without another word, stood in front of Qi Tian.

"Record this for me, and call the police while you're at it."

His first thought was that he was about to become famous.

Only then did he tell Qi Tian to call the police.

After all, the Goblinmon Liang Xing had designed were only around a meter tall.

No matter how vicious they looked, A Lie simply could not bring himself to fear something that size.

"Get back! Stay away!" A Lie cautiously swung the chair, carefully shielding Qi Tian as they backed away.

The feeling was rather strange for Qi Tian.

Though he did not know Goblinmon either, Liang Xing had mentioned this matter to him before. He vaguely remembered the concept of Digimon.

At the same time, Qian Lai had gone to arrange for the nanny to prepare tea and snacks. When he returned, he saw the backs of the two Goblinmon.

They looked a little familiar... Holy crap!

"Goblinmon!"

The moment he cried out, Qian Lai knew things had gone wrong.

He backed away, shut the door, and called the police in one smooth motion!

As Qian Lai called the police, he frantically waved for A Lie and Qi Tian to get away.

But the call would not go through at all!

"Uncle A Lie, your phone froze. It doesn't seem to have any signal."

This was one of the terms of Liang Xing's cooperation with Huaxia's authorities. Whenever Digimon appeared, nearby communication devices would malfunction to a certain degree.

For Liang Xing, interfering with signals was simply too easy.

A Lie glanced back and saw that his stream had frozen.

And because he had turned around, the Goblinmon unleashed its finishing move without hesitation.

Goblin Strike!

It was really just a fireball, but it moved incredibly fast!

Before A Lie could react, it struck him directly.

"Urgh—"

It did not hurt much, but an inexplicable exhaustion surged through him. His legs gave out, and he nearly fell.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—" Goblinmon shouted excitedly.

Digimon attacks were not real, of course. But after being refined through Liang Xing's My Pondering Power, the damage caused by Digimon induced fatigue through psychological suggestion.

This fatigue would not cause any substantial harm to the human body. At worst, it would make someone fall asleep.

But A Lie did not know that!

At that moment, he was genuinely starting to get scared.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
