False Advertising? Breaking the Rules? Streamer, You Really Ought to Get Certified!

Is the streamer's Live Stream Chat going to get shut down? I just followed this hidden gem!

I remember that as long as you weren't directly charging for Pokémon appraisals, you didn't need an Appraisal Qualification Certificate.

Streamer, you really ought to get certified!

I just looked it up for the streamer. Illegal Pokémon appraisal generally gets one to three years. Before you go in, remember to tell everyone how many years you got.

Looking at those Bullet Comments, Ye Yinchuan admitted that he was starting to panic a little.

Could it be that after finally awakening a system and getting cheats, he was going to get himself thrown in for unlicensed appraisals?

He had just gotten a taste of success, and now they were telling him it was piss?

"Officer Tan, I remember that livestream Pokémon appraisals are allowed as long as you don't actively charge for them, right? I'm just an amateur hobbyist, doing it for fun..."

Officer Tan said:

"You're right. As long as you don't actively charge, there's generally no problem in principle. But... this is you, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Officer Tan picked up a phone that was playing a recorded stream—

"I'm a professional appraiser. Whatever Pokémon you have, I'll know what it is with one look!"

"Professional streamer doing livestream Pokémon appraisals! Ask me anything you don't understand!"

The person on the screen was none other than Ye Yinchuan himself, brimming with energy and confidence.

"Yes, that's me..."

"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. You don't even have a qualification certificate, so how can you call yourself a professional? If we put it mildly, you're bragging. If we put it seriously... you could be suspected of false advertising!"

At Officer Tan's words, cold sweat began pouring down Ye Yinchuan's back.

Usually, no one would specifically bother over a little boasting like this, but there had to be some damned person who reported him!

Naturally, that meant the review became much stricter.

The pig streamer finally behaved himself.

Being able to connect with the Protection Bureau really was professional!

"Officer Tan, that was just livestream patter..."

"Even so, you can't mislead viewers. But don't worry. I only came this time to give you a verbal warning, and also to promote our online work and educate people about certain laws and regulations."

Only after hearing Officer Tan say that did Ye Yinchuan relax slightly.

If he got sent in with food and lodging included, what would happen to Snorlax?

"Officer Tan, please go ahead. I guarantee I'll listen attentively."

Ye Yinchuan put on a properly respectful attitude, showing that he was eager to learn and determined to obey the law.

"Although the current requirements for online Pokémon appraisals are relatively relaxed, and people can still do them without qualifications, we are actively working with platforms to prevent the public from being misled and suffering harm to their interests. Over the coming period, we'll be increasing oversight of false advertising and unlicensed appraisals."

Oh no, they were coming for the streamer.

They were practically one step away from naming him directly!

"Then, Officer Tan, how will this affect amateur streamers like me?"

Ye Yinchuan could no longer spare any attention for the Bullet Comments having fun, because this directly concerned his interests and his future livestreaming career.

"Mm, your traffic will definitely be restricted. Later on, platforms may separate certified and uncertified streamers into different sections, with exclusive labels. Viewers will naturally prefer professionals. Also, you can't engage in false advertising anymore. If you're caught and repeated warnings prove ineffective, the Live Stream Chat will be shut down directly, and your earnings may even be recovered!"

The streamer's world had collapsed!

Pretty good. Pokémon appraisals should be standardized, so nobody can pass themselves off as qualified!

That said, the streamer's so good—does he really not have a certificate?

"I understand..."

Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Young man, you're young, and you have a lot of potential. Before the policy is implemented, go take the Appraisal Qualification Certificate exam. That way, you'll have more platform support. I believe you can definitely grow into a major streamer!"

Officer Tan encouraged Ye Yinchuan.

"I've personally watched some of your recorded streams, and I think your livestreams are very interesting. If it wasn't scripted, then you really did help those viewers. So if you don't go get certified, I'd honestly think it was a real shame!"

Ye Yinchuan nodded. "Officer Tan, thank you for the recognition. Even for the sake of getting more traffic, I'll go get certified."

Whoa! The streamer got official recognition?

Hahaha, awesome! The strongest amateur appraisal streamer, anyone disagree?

666, now I have no choice but to follow!

When Officer Tan saw the Bullet Comments, he hurriedly raised both hands to explain:

"Everyone, viewers, although this account of mine and today's connection represent the authorities, my recognition of the streamer only represents my personal opinion. Still, I believe the public has sharp eyes. Truly high-quality streamers with substance and skill will not be buried!"

Well, he had cleared up the connection now.

Can't blame Officer Tan. In his position, he had to be careful with every word and action.

He was afraid that if the streamer really got locked up someday, he'd get dragged down with him too!

"By the way, you're not doing livestream sales or charging for appraisals right now, which is good. Otherwise, it wouldn't comply with the platform's regulations. Once you obtain a professional certification, you'll be qualified to enable paid services and product sales."

Officer Tan added.

Ye Yinchuan nodded repeatedly, becoming even more determined to get certified.

Who could possibly turn down traffic and money?

Afterward, Officer Tan added some more legal regulations and precautions regarding Pokémon livestreams.

For instance, streamers needed to promote positive values. They could not abuse Pokémon, make inappropriate remarks, conduct illegal Pokémon trades, and any scripted performances in the Live Stream Chat had to be clearly disclosed...

"All right, young man, we've finished discussing work. Didn't I watch one of your recorded streams before? I thought it was really interesting, so I'd like to ask you to appraise a Pokémon for me too. This is a personal request."

This Yan Kingdom Map was getting a little long!

Without a doubt, this was an official anti-fraud inspection!

As Officer Tan made that request, the Live Stream Chat's viewer count climbed to another small peak.

Many people had not come for Ye Yinchuan, but for Officer Tan!

"Three hundred, four hundred... We might actually reach five hundred today!"

Ye Yinchuan's heart gave a small jump. He knew he had to seize this opportunity.

After all, it was not even peak streaming hours yet, but he had already broken his record and nearly reached five hundred viewers.

For a new account that was only on its second stream and had not spent money on promotional traffic, this was already unbelievable!

"No problem, Officer Tan! Please bring out your Pokémon!"

"Hello to all the new viewers! This is the Snorlax Appraisal Live Stream Chat. Your streamer is... an amateur appraiser! If you like what you see, don't forget to follow!"

He laughed. The streamer had nearly said it out of habit!

Breaking the rules right in the face of the wind, huh?

If you said you were a professional, I might not watch, but if you say you're an amateur, then I absolutely have to take a look!

Amazing. A new streamer is connecting with someone from the Protection Bureau. Does he have connections up top?

Officer Tan had already brought a Pokémon in front of the camera.

Ye Yinchuan had expected the official standard-issue Growlithe, but to his surprise, it was a Ponyta!

"Come on, Polly. Say hello to the streamer and everyone in the Live Stream Chat."

Officer Tan called softly.
