A Streamer Who Doesn't Want to Be a Professional Trainer Isn't a Good Transmigrator!
Watching Snorlax wolf down the rations, Ye Yinchuan estimated that its mouth opened wider than 120 degrees. It chomped away with a bang-bang rhythm, burying its head like an excavator, then lifting it as the food went straight down.
After finishing two whole bags of intermediate rations, Snorlax began displaying one of its habits—
While eating, it grabbed a large handful of food and tucked it beneath its armpits. Its long fur and body structure allowed it to store food there without it easily falling out.
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan wore a somewhat helpless expression.
It was a habit, like how hamsters stored food in their cheeks and squirrels buried food somewhere.
Even if he provided plenty of food, Snorlax would still retain this habit.
However, wild Snorlax often forgot about the food they had stashed away, causing it to spoil and breed odors and bacteria.
But as long as he reminded Snorlax to eat its stored food before stashing new food, and helped it maintain proper cleanliness and hygiene, there would be no problem.
To raise Pokémon, one had to understand their habits and interact with them accordingly.
If someone forced their Pokémon to change their habits just because they were a clean freak, or even did something extreme, that would actually be very selfish.
Perhaps it had been hungry for too long.
Of the full fifty pounds of Pokémon Intermediate Ration, most went into Snorlax's stomach, while a small portion was stored beneath its fur.
Although Snorlax looked blissful and satisfied, it still seemed to want more.
It looked at Ye Yinchuan with great anticipation in its eyes.
"Snorlax, that's enough once you're full. You've been hungry for so long—if you eat too much all at once, you'll get an upset stomach."
Like a parent, Ye Yinchuan lectured Snorlax with gentle seriousness.
Although Snorlax, as a big-eater Pokémon, possessed an extremely powerful digestive system and incredible adaptability, there was still an Upper Limit. Even Pokémon like Snorlax had cases of indigestion.
Just like how even someone with great immunity could still catch a cold if they kept recklessly courting death.
"Ka-mu~"
Snorlax nodded adorably and yawned.
"You little thing, all you do is eat and sleep."
Ye Yinchuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Another of Snorlax's habits was that it began sleeping once it was full.
What bad intentions could a Pokémon like this possibly have?
"But before you sleep..."
Ye Yinchuan remembered that he had yet to properly use the Exclusive Skill he had obtained from the system: Super Influence.
He might as well use it now, or he would have to wait until tomorrow.
With a thought, Ye Yinchuan tried to activate it.
Do you wish to use the Exclusive Skill: Super Influence, converting the influence points earned from your livestream into Snorlax's Individual Value? Current convertible points: 1000.
Looking at the prompt before him, Ye Yinchuan chose to confirm.
Conversion successful! Remaining influence points: 321.
"Looks like it can only be converted in whole amounts."
The conversion ratio for Super Influence was 1000 to 1. In other words, 1,000 influence points could be converted into 1 point of Individual Value.
Since Individual Value did not have decimal places, the minimum requirement for conversion was also 1,000 influence points.
Big-Eater Pokémon: Snorlax Individual Value: D-Rank (30) → D-Rank (31)
Seeing the solid improvement to Snorlax's Individual Value on its panel, Ye Yinchuan felt excited inside.
It was only 1 point, but it was still a precious point.
Although Individual Value could not determine whether a Pokémon would become "useless," it still greatly affected a Pokémon's growth rate and growth Upper Limit.
This was especially true for Pokémon raised by Professional Trainers for battle.
Moreover, Individual Value was innate and very difficult to alter afterward.
Even if certain precious items or lucky encounters had a chance of increasing Individual Value, they were hard to come by, and the chances of improvement were extremely low.
There was a known case of a Professional Trainer who had encountered a Legendary Pokémon in a secret realm. Influenced by the Legendary Pokémon's power, that trainer's Pokémon had gained 3 points of Individual Value.
Encountering a legendary Pokémon only increased it by 3 points, yet one livestream could increase his by 1 point.
It was easy to imagine just how powerful Super Influence truly was.
"As long as I keep livestreaming and continuously use Super Influence to raise Snorlax's Individual Value, could it someday reach S-Rank Individual Value—or even break through the Upper Limit and reach an unimaginable level?"
Although Ye Yinchuan's current goal was to build up his livestreaming career.
What young man in the Pokémon World had never dreamed of becoming a Professional Trainer?
Even becoming an amateur trainer would be a leap for Ye Yinchuan—from impossible to possible.
After all, with Snorlax's original D-Rank Individual Value, it was best suited to being a companion in everyday life.
With decent Base Stats, it could still be used in battles if carefully raised, but its path was Destined to be exceptionally painful and difficult.
Besides, raising Pokémon was practically an instinct etched into the bones of everyone in this world.
As long as they had the means, who wouldn't want their Pokémon to become stronger?
Even without the Super Influence granted by the system, Ye Yinchuan would have slowly begun raising Snorlax—Leveling it up, developing its Moves, training it for battles...
Now, the influence points he could obtain through livestreaming could directly raise its Individual Value.
It was as though Ye Yinchuan had started his training plan ahead of schedule, and one with a promising future at that—something others could only envy.
"Get some proper rest. We'll keep streaming tomorrow!"
Ye Yinchuan was so excited now that he could barely sleep.
Streaming could make money while also helping him raise his Snorlax. It was hard not to get fired up over something that good.
For the first time, Ye Yinchuan felt that streaming was such a meaningful career, something that gave him so much Guts!
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Only as he listened to the rain outside the window and Snorlax's snoring did Ye Yinchuan gradually settle down and fall asleep.
When he woke up the next day, it was already past noon.
After tidying up the house and going downstairs for a meal, Ye Yinchuan impatiently started his stream.
It was two in the afternoon.
His usual streaming schedule had always been from seven in the evening to midnight, but with his enthusiasm running high, Ye Yinchuan decided to add another stream.
He tapped on the keyboard and wrote the following as the title of his stream:
"Live Pokémon Appraisals, Professional Streamer. Ask Me Anything You Don't Understand! New Streamer, Day Two—Limited-Time Free Call-Ins!"
Seeing Ye Yinchuan sit down in front of the computer to work again, Snorlax waddled over and silently sat beside him, appearing on the stream's camera.
Noticing this, Ye Yinchuan's heart warmed.
This was what a mascot was. This was emotional value.
Even if Snorlax did nothing and simply stayed by his side, Ye Yinchuan felt a reassuring, steadfast strength rise within him.
As the stream began, the first wave of viewers quickly poured in.
