Cute Companions, a Flourishing Career! System, I Need You to Help Me Stream! (Please Follow)

Facts spoke louder than words.

No matter how eloquently Ye Yinchuan had explained things before, it could not compare to what the viewers in the live stream chat saw with their own eyes.

The Electric Web Weedle's strength was deeply etched into everyone's minds.

Before this, no one could have imagined that the universally acknowledged weak Weedle could perform so impressively in actual combat.

This Electric Web Weedle's Combat Power was leagues ahead of other Weedle.

"Brother Snorlax! This Weedle is really strong! If you hadn't appraised it, we would've sold it along with the others today! It might've even ended up as food!"

the little boy said excitedly.

Uh, people really ate Weedle?

You've never had soybean caterpillars? Green Pepper Soybean Caterpillar made from Weedle is absolutely amazing!

Bugs are so cute. How could you eat them?

Ye Yinchuan was not surprised at all to hear that the Weedle might become food.

In the Pokémon World, although many humans treated Pokémon as partners, or even family, that generally referred to Pokémon that had been tamed and bred.

There were two situations that needed to be distinguished.

The first was wild Pokémon.

Wild Pokémon possessed a strong sense of territory. To protect their young and food, they would actively attack humans.

In other words, they were no different from wild beasts.

Some people hunted wild Pokémon for a living. They were known as Pokémon Hunters.

Of course, the Dream Protection Bureau and certain Pokémon Associations issued laws and regulations clearly defining which wild Pokémon could be hunted and which needed protection.

The other type was farmed Pokémon.

These Pokémon often had strong reproductive abilities, along with a certain edible or commercial value. Their purpose was different from the start.

For example, these Weedle were raised as food and sold for money.

This pair of Siblings' family probably made their living this way.

Another example was Corphish. Although their claws had a bit of an earthy, muddy taste, they could regrow after falling off. Their meat was also plump and firm, making them affordable, high-quality Pokémon meat.

Some people specifically raised Corphish to sell their shed claws.

Miltank also counted as farmed Pokémon.

However, people raised them for the Moomoo Milk they produced. This drink had extremely high nutritional value and was suitable for men, women, young, and old alike. Ordinary milk could not compare at all.

It sounded somewhat cruel when explained in detail, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Just like in the human world before Ye Yinchuan had transmigrated, some animals were pets while others were food. As long as morality and the law were not violated, humanity's attitude toward Pokémon depended on many factors.

In the Pokémon World, there was also a group of Pokémon enthusiasts who advocated treating all Pokémon equally, but they could not make everyone agree.

After all, some people said that if they did not raise and sell Pokémon, they would have no way to live.

Others said that ordinary meat pigs might not be any less intelligent than some Pokémon, and cows had spirituality too. Did that mean people should stop eating meat altogether?

This issue was like the debate between meat eaters and vegetarians—it could never be clearly settled. In the Pokémon World, it was even more complicated.

Ye Yinchuan believed that as long as one did not violate the law or morality, the choice was up to the individual.

But forcibly imposing one's views on others was wrong.

"This Weedle should satisfy you, right? Remember, it consumes a lot of energy. When feeding it in the future, start with three times the usual amount for a normal Weedle and increase it as needed. Your family raises Weedle, and Green Mulberry Leaves aren't expensive, so it shouldn't be too much of a burden. If this Weedle is properly cultivated, it has a promising future."

"Oh, and don't reveal your personal information or home address online, so people don't set their sights on you. If you run into any trouble, you can come find me in the live stream chat. I'll definitely help if I can!"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yinchuan added that last sentence.

All kinds of people lurked online. Given this Electric Web Weedle's strength and rarity, it was hard to guarantee that no one would get any crooked ideas.

Whoever dared bully these Siblings would be picking a fight with us fans of the Snorlax Appraisal live stream chat!

That sounded pretty imposing, but with the Streamer's 250 followers, something felt a little off...

Then hurry up and follow! If you follow now, when the Streamer gets famous later, we'll be veteran fans!

"We're satisfied, very satisfied! Brother Snorlax! We'll listen to everything you say!"

These Siblings will be key protection targets for our Dream Protection Bureau from now on. I'll be keeping an eye on them!

Officer Tan's account posted a comment. The official badge was dazzlingly conspicuous, and those words were both warm and full of deterrence.

Officer Tan is awesome!

666! The Streamer has official backing too!

Could these appraisal skills mean he's actually an official? An undercover agent?

Using streaming as a cover for a covert investigation, huh?

Ye Yinchuan merely smiled at the Bullet Comments' misunderstanding. Officer Tan had not explained himself, so there was even less reason for Ye Yinchuan to explain.

"All right, Li Pi, let's end the call here."

"Thank you, Brother Snorlax! Thank you, Officer Tan! We'll definitely obey the law from now on and never scam anyone again!"

Though the two siblings were somewhat reluctant, they obediently disconnected after thanking them and saying goodbye.

Ye Yinchuan stretched lazily. Having done a good deed, he felt completely refreshed.

At that moment, the Snorlax beside him also woke up groggily, crawled over to Ye Yinchuan, and asked to be held. Ye Yinchuan casually started petting it.

Although Ye Yinchuan's Snorlax was skinny, it still weighed nearly two hundred pounds, so it never dared put all its weight on him, only leaning against him slightly.

"This feels so solid."

Holding Snorlax, Ye Yinchuan felt like he was hugging a pig. Then he played with its big rabbit ears for a while—they were soft and springy.

With an adorable Pokémon by his side and a sense of accomplishment in his work, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

Has the Streamer's Snorlax gotten less skinny?

So cute! I want to raise a Snorlax too!

Forget it. I heard that even selling your house wouldn't be enough to feed one...

"Anyone else want to call in? I'll stream for another hour, then take a break! I'll be back tonight!"

After taking a brief moment to recover, Ye Yinchuan continued the stream.

"All right, bro, there's nothing wrong with your Charmander. It's just got a Hasty Nature. Don't worry, it's not Chao Xiong—there aren't that many Chao Xiongs... Besides, yours is female. At most, she's a Chuan Yu Tyrant!"

"Don't doubt it. This isn't an Eevee; it's just an ordinary mutt. You bought it on Pinduoduo for a hundred yuan? Well, that explains it. If you want to keep it, just get a refund without returning it. If you don't, return it for a refund!"

"Gasp! Your Growlithe is a little precocious. It should be in heat. If it really comes down to it, get the kid neutered! You want me to recommend an Egg Removal Expert? Sorry, I'm a new streamer—I don't have those connections!"

The hour-long stream passed in a flash.

Ye Yinchuan was growing increasingly fond of streaming as a career.

He got to meet all sorts of interesting people and encounter all kinds of fresh, new things. Especially since he loved Pokémon, even simply looking at all kinds of Pokémon was a pleasure.

Not to mention that he could use his own abilities to help others who also loved Pokémon solve their problems, or do meaningful things and earn the audience's approval.

To Ye Yinchuan, all of that was a form of self-worth.

Watching his follower count grow bit by bit, along with the income from his streams, gave him an even more tangible sense of reward!

Still, streaming for long periods inevitably built up physical and mental fatigue.

"Friends in the audience, that's it for this afternoon's stream. I'll be live again at seven tonight! If you like Snorlax Appraisal, remember to hit follow!"

I'll wait for you through wind and rain, Streamer!

One day without watching and my whole body feels awful! Stream soon, or I won't be able to sleep tonight!

The "stream soon" you said up there... is that the wholesome kind?

Watching the mischievous Bullet Comments, Ye Yinchuan chuckled lightly. When he turned off the stream, he actually felt a little reluctant.

Ding! This stream has earned a total of 3,796 Influence Points!

Current Fame Level unchanged: 2, Nascent Popularity!

4,883 more Influence Points are needed to advance to the next Fame Level!

Looking at the system prompt, Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted slightly.

"This stream earned three times as much influence as the last one!"

"If I can keep this up, then in two streams at most—or even by the end of the next stream—I'll be able to raise my Fame Level again!"
