Looking at the system prompt, Ye Yinchuan perked up.

The abilities he had obtained from the system so far were "Appraisal Eye" and "Super Influence."

One had given him Pokémon appraisal abilities that were practically heaven-defying, forming the foundation for both his livestream content and entertainment value.

The other had given him the ability to raise Pokémon Individual Values, making it possible for him to push Snorlax's training to the limit and become a Professional Trainer.

He wondered what other good things the system might provide next. It was truly something to look forward to.

"If I have time, I need to start preparing for the certification exam. Otherwise, just like Officer Tan said, if the platform introduces new policies later on, I'll be at a huge disadvantage as an uncertified appraiser. Even just for the platform's traffic support, getting certified won't do me any harm."

As Ye Yinchuan thought about it, he gave a wry smile for no apparent reason.

Even after transmigrating into the Pokémon World, was life still inseparable from exams and all kinds of certificates?

Jobs required degrees, teachers needed teaching certificates, doctors needed medical licenses, Professional Trainers had to pass national exams, and anyone wanting to join the Dream Treasure Bureau had to take civil service exams...

Even if Ye Yinchuan had not experienced all of it himself, he had seen and heard enough.

A Chinese person's life was nothing but exam after exam after exam!

"With my Appraisal Eye, I should be able to pass easily. But I still need to learn the knowledge I'm supposed to know."

Ye Yinchuan looked up information online about the Pokémon Appraiser certification exam.

Appraiser qualifications were divided into four levels: Beginner Grade, Advanced Grade, Special Grade, and Master Grade.

For now, considering his livestream needs, getting a Beginner Grade certificate would be enough. There was no need to think too much about the others yet.

Beginner Grade appraisers were required to use books and tools to carry out preliminary appraisals of Pokémon, determine their approximate Individual Values and Abilities, and identify one of their moves. If they had no moves, that also had to be determined.

These were generally the more fixed aspects of a Pokémon.

The requirements were not especially high. It was an entry-level appraisal.

"Right, when I take the exam, I should be able to livestream it too. Although my Live Stream Chat is mainly focused on Pokémon appraisal, taking an appraisal certification exam is part of appraisal too."

In the Pokémon World, the livestreaming industry was also highly developed.

Therefore, livestreaming was permitted during certain exams. Some organizers even had dedicated livestream rooms, emphasizing openness and transparency throughout the interview process.

Since Ye Yinchuan was a platform-certified Streamer, he could contact the organizers and directly connect his Live Stream Chat to theirs.

In other words, even for written exams where communication devices were prohibited, Ye Yinchuan's Live Stream Chat could still use official cameras to show the entire examination process.

It was just that Ye Yinchuan would not be able to interact with the viewers in his Live Stream Chat.

"For the written exam, I'll have to rely on myself to learn Pokémon knowledge. Appraisal Eye only lets me view panels; it can't magically fill my head with knowledge."

Ye Yinchuan confirmed the exam procedures and what he needed to prepare.

"As for the interview, aside from talking with the examiners, there's on-site Pokémon appraisal—the practical test. That won't be a problem for me at all."

"As for filling in my knowledge gaps, there's no way I'm signing up for classes. I'd be better off buying some books and reading them myself."

Speaking of buying books meant spending money. Ye Yinchuan checked the earnings from this livestream and found that they had actually reached 2,300 yuan.

That was roughly double what he had earned from his previous stream.

It was nearly equivalent to a month's worth of livestream earnings from back when his streams had been unpopular.

Of course.

This time's earnings also had to take into account the fact that, because he had handled the Siblings' situation well, many viewers in his Live Stream Chat had voluntarily sent gifts.

For instance, Grandpa Spring Blooms alone had sent a Master Ball gift. After the platform's cut, that still accounted for 700 yuan in earnings.

Then there were also the traffic benefits Officer Tan had brought, which had increased his donation income.

But no matter what, the amount he could withdraw was real!

"This is enough to buy several days' worth of Food Ration for Snorlax."

However, Ye Yinchuan did not get carried away.

After all, donation income from livestreams was highly unstable. Aside from the quality of the stream itself, it also depended on the viewers' moods.

Making 2,300 yuan in one stream and less than 300 in the next was not entirely impossible.

He still had to keep working hard!

"Right, I just gained Influence Points. I can raise Snorlax's Individual Values again!"

Ye Yinchuan immediately took action.

Do you wish to use the Exclusive Skill: Super Influence? Target: Snorlax Current convertible points: 4,000.

Ye Yinchuan decisively confirmed it. Convert them all!

Conversion successful! Hidden critical chance triggered. Individual Value additionally increased by 1 point! Big Eater Pokémon: Snorlax Individual Value: D-Rank (31) → C-Rank (36)

"Wow! Its Individual Value reached C-Rank!"

Seeing that the Individual Value on Snorlax's status panel had risen by an entire rank, Ye Yinchuan felt genuinely delighted.

"Ka-un!"

Snorlax straightened up. Its Individual Value had gone from D-Rank to C-Rank, and it could vaguely feel the difference.

It raised its forelimbs and struck a muscle-flexing pose, as if to say that it had become stronger!

"Snorlax got stronger again! Snorlax is the best!"

Ye Yinchuan hugged Snorlax, pressing his face against its soft belly and nuzzling it affectionately.

Sensing its owner's joy, Snorlax's huge mouth curled up slightly, revealing two lower fangs. Its smile brimmed with confidence and a touch of pride.

Though it did not know why it had suddenly become stronger, it was probably because of its owner's love and feeding, as well as its own diligent eating, right?

Mm, so as not to disappoint its owner, Snorlax had to work even harder at eating!

If Ye Yinchuan had known what Snorlax was thinking, he would have been torn between laughter and tears. But what bad intentions could a Snorlax that only knew how to eat possibly have?

"Grrrroooowl!"

Hearing Snorlax's stomach rumble like thunder, Ye Yinchuan said indulgently, "Oh my, is Snorlax hungry again? Time to feed you... But first, eat the little snacks under your arm!"

Snorlax blankly froze for a moment, as though it had suddenly remembered something. It lifted its arm and pulled out a handful of Pokémon Food from underneath it.

Warm and toasty, with an exquisite flavor?

Anyway, it stuffed the whole handful into its mouth and swallowed it without even chewing.

"Has the Pokémon Food I ordered online arrived already? That was pretty fast. Let's go pick it up from Doduo Post Station later, or there won't be anything left to feed you. Buying locally is way too expensive. Hang on, I'll order another batch..."

Ye Yinchuan scrolled through his phone as he muttered to Snorlax.

He had been sitting throughout his livestream anyway, and his neck, waist, and back were getting a little sore. He needed to move around.

"Mm!"

Snorlax nodded vigorously. It looked so obedient and well-behaved that it was hard not to love it.

Working seriously and living life well like this—though ordinary, Ye Yinchuan found it precious.

On the way to Doduo Post Station.

Ye Yinchuan and Snorlax walked side by side, and he was still immersed in the beauty of everyday life.

As they rounded a corner, something came charging toward them at incredible speed.

"Danger! Get out of the way!"

Hearing the shout, Ye Yinchuan abruptly looked up to see a crazed Tauros charging straight at him at high speed!

He cursed inwardly, Dodge my ass! Do you think I'm Ash's Pikachu?!

A Tauros charging at full speed was no slower than a car going fifty miles an hour. If that thing hit him, wouldn't he be bruised black and blue all over?

Could I really be this unlucky? I just transmigrated, and now I'm already starting over?

Just as Ye Yinchuan had nowhere to evade, a black shadow burst forward and rushed in front of him.

"Ka-un!"

Snorlax's voice was filled with anger and determination.

With Snorlax here, it absolutely, absolutely would not let its owner suffer even the slightest injury!
