You Came to My Pokémon Appraisal Stream to Mess with Eggs? Stop It, Azu! (Please Follow)

Xiao Wen, crouching in the restroom, could not help but brighten at Ye Yinchuan's words.

She seemed to understand why Hu Yue took such good care of him.

There must have been some quality in Ye Yinchuan that Hu Yue admired, and now Xiao Wen felt it too.

It was a very simple emotion: resonance, and a response to kindness.

"Bobo Won't Fly, your empathy is a good thing. There's no need to care about some people putting you down. And that empathy will, in turn, help you keep Exposure Therapy within reasonable limits."

"My advice is that even if you think this will be painful and difficult for Pidgey, you still need to steel yourself and try it. If a child fears something, should we just let them keep running away from it? Of course not. We know that bravely facing it is the right thing to do."

"Of course, sometimes we don't have to pursue what is supposedly right. If Pidgey truly cannot adapt, or if you firmly believe that the way it is now is already best and you can accept it, then you can choose to do nothing. No one can demand anything of you."

Put simply, you could dote on it, but do not spoil it.

The Streamer had such solid values. Followed!

There's nothing wrong with a ground-bound Pidgey. Some people just wanted to lie flat and be couch potatoes.

"I understand, Streamer. I'll think it over carefully and maybe make some attempts. Then I'd also like to ask you about the specific steps. I don't understand any of this, and I'm afraid I'll mess it up."

Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan nodded.

"Once you've made up your mind, you can come find me in the Live Stream Chat anytime. If you want to try it now, hold Pidgey and slowly try raising it above your head. There won't be any danger in that, and you can control the pace yourself."

"Be sure to wear protection during the process, like gloves and a helmet. After all, if Pidgey gets startled and gives you a scratch... think about it. Can that little head of yours take it?"

As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan looked at Pidgey's claws. They had the texture of jade, yet they also gleamed with a metallic chill, especially those sharp, pointed talons.

Pidgey might be gentle, but it was still a Pokémon. In Animal World, it would at least count as a bird of prey. The power of those claws...

Ordinary Pidgey would not learn the Move Scratch, but getting clawed was no joke!

A wild Pidgey scratched my head once. Nothing major happened—I just had to start elementary school all over again.

Bro, did you forget to drink Meng Po Soup?

Pidgey has three toes. No more, no less—just enough to turn your head into a bowling ball.

After glancing at the Bullet Comments, Ye Yinchuan nearly burst out laughing. What kind of dark jokes were these?

"Uh, got it."

The person on the other end replied in a somewhat timid tone.

User "Bobo Won't Fly" sent a gift: Poké Ball ×1!

"Thank you, Beauty, for the gift. I hope your Pidgey overcomes its Fear of Heights soon and takes to the skies!"

No matter how small the gift was, it was still support.

Ye Yinchuan was not the kind of person who looked down on others just because they did not send gifts, or because their gifts were small.

User "Bobo Won't Fly" sent a gift: Ultra Ball ×1!

On the screen, a Poké Ball unlike the Red and White Ball popped up. It looked more like a blue-and-white ball, but with two red dots on top. It was an Ultra Ball.

An Ultra Ball cost about five times as much as an ordinary Poké Ball, around 266 yuan.

As for why it was not 250, that just sounded too awful.

"Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. If your Pidgey has any problems, you can always come to me."

Ye Yinchuan thanked her repeatedly.

He had thought he would only earn enough for a small meal, but instead he had made enough for a feast.

Once money changed hands, his tone naturally became much warmer.

"He found Pidgey's problem and even gave me a solution. I only wanted to tip him one Poké Ball, but I got carried away and sent an Ultra Ball..."

Bobo Won't Fly muttered regretfully in the company restroom.

"Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen, you're a professional Streamer. Other people are supposed to tip you—when did you start tipping others? Get a grip. Don't send any more!"

"Sigh, he really does have the skills. The fees at a Pokémon Hospital would cost more than this, and they might not even find the problem. What's wrong with sending him a little tip?"

Xiao Wen spoke to herself as she reached out and stroked Pidgey's cheek. It was fluffy, and she could feel its warmth.

She planned to get herself a helmet and gloves later, fully gear up, and then try this so-called Exposure Therapy.

On Ye Yinchuan's end.

Having just finished his connection with "Bobo Won't Fly," he tactically took a sip of water.

"Come on, let's welcome our next appraisal client."

Streamer, me, me, me! Pick me!

I just bought a Cyndaquil. I want the Streamer to take a look!

If you don't pick me, I'll report you.

Looking at the enthusiastic Bullet Comments and the connection requests constantly popping up.

Ye Yinchuan truly felt like things were finally looking up.

Back then, he had needed to coax and practically trick people into connecting with him.

Just as Ye Yinchuan was about to randomly pick someone—

User "Stop it, Azu" sent a gift: Master Ball ×1!

Gift message: Streamer, help me take a look. Is one Master Ball enough?

Watching the familiar Master Ball bounce out from the screen.

Ye Yinchuan felt as if money had just smacked him in the face.

He instantly sensed just how lavish this "Azu" was.

Alright, alright, so that was how he wanted to play?

Another Land Rover fragment for the Streamer.

Watching the Streamer make money hurts more than missing out on the lottery!

Azu, stop it! There's a furniture city outside!

"Sigh, everyone, he tipped me with real money. I can only connect with him, right? Nothing wrong with that, is there?"

There is something wrong with it, because the money isn't going to me.

I suggest profit-sharing!

Ignoring the Bullet Comments, Ye Yinchuan accepted Azu's connection request.

The connection was successful.

"Hello, Azu."

"Hello, Streamer."

A bald head appeared on the other end of the camera, looking somewhat sweaty.

When he raised his head, his eyes narrowed into slits. He did not exactly look sleazy.

But with those thick brows and shifty eyes...

Rubbing his bald head, Azu smiled at Ye Yinchuan.

"Streamer, I'd like you to take a look at this."

As he spoke.

A smooth, bald-looking object was pulled out from below the camera.

That scared the hell out of me. I thought there was another bald head down there!

I almost mistook it for Little Azu!

A pet egg? Oh, looks like someone came here to mess with eggs.

When Ye Yinchuan saw the object, he narrowed his eyes as well, an amused look appearing on his face.

"Azu, I appraise Pokémon. This isn't an egg-gambling Live Stream Chat."

Messing with eggs referred to dealing in Pokémon Eggs, including appraisal, collecting, buying, and selling.

Because Pokémon Eggs involved a great deal of randomness and gambling, it was also known as Egg Gambling.

"Heh, Streamer, you have sharp eyes. If you can appraise Pokémon, then naturally you can appraise Pokémon Eggs too. Besides, eggs are Pokémon as well—they just haven't hatched yet, right?"

"That's true, but..."

"No buts. Streamer, I have plenty of eggs here. As long as you appraise eggs well, I guarantee there'll be no shortage of Master Balls!"

Hearing this, Ye Yinchuan could only nod.

With such immense fortune laid out before him, how could he possibly refuse?

His gaze fell upon the egg...
