Charmander Cheated, or Bellsprout Cheated? Egg Gambling is a Deep Con! (Seeking Reads)

Did Charmander cheat, or did Bellsprout have an affair?

Was the streamer fucking with him?

Cut the flavorless bullshit and get to it!

"Streamer, tell us. Hurry up and tell us."

Faced with the Bullet Comments and Azu's urging, Ye Yinchuan did not beat around the bush and spoke directly:

"Bellsprout Eggs should indeed be yellow-green. But I suspect someone deliberately fed Bellsprout feed rich in Lutein, Canthaxanthin, or Carotene.

That caused the Pokémon Eggs it laid to turn this orange-yellow color, all to imitate Charmander Eggs."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Don't Bellsprout eat bugs? How could bugs have food coloring?"

"I said feed. Even if you're feeding it bugs, you can just mix in some coloring and feed them to Bellsprout. Bro, don't get so worked up."

Ye Yinchuan felt that the person on the other end seemed to be gritting his teeth, unwilling to accept it.

Even if he had spent a thousand on a Bellsprout Egg, it was only a small loss.

But this guy had sent a Master Ball gift without hesitation. Surely he was not this unable to take a loss?

His reaction was a little excessive, unless...

Ye Yinchuan keenly caught onto something, but merely continued probing:

"Bro, it's just one Bellsprout Egg. At worst, you'd only lose a few hundred. If the quality is good, you might even make your money back. Besides, this is only my guess.

Unless there are a lot more Eggs like this in your Egg Market. Then it can be confirmed that someone is deliberately producing these Eggs, disguising them as Charmander Eggs to scam people. If some genius tries to snap up a bargain and buys them all, he'll really be in trouble!"

Azu simply stared at the screen, continuously rubbing his overheated bald head with both hands. He did not say a word, and his expression was somewhat frightening.

Bro was visibly overheating.

Case closed. Bro himself was the real Charmander Egg!

Looking at that reaction, it was like he had lost a hundred thousand or so.

Could it be that the genius the streamer mentioned...

No wonder they said netizens were smart.

Of course, it might also have been because Ye Yinchuan's hint was too obvious.

Or perhaps bro's reaction had already written everything on his face.

"Smack!"

Bro slapped his forehead and kept muttering,

"It's over, it's over, it's over..."

Even Ye Yinchuan could not bear to watch. "Bro, how many did you buy?"

Azu's face flushed red. He held up one hand and spread all five fingers. The expression on his face now was one of regret—deep regret.

"Five? That's not too bad..."

Azu shook his head. His gleaming bald head was already turning slightly purple from holding it in.

"Fifty-five! A full fifty-five! That afternoon, I went through the entire Egg Market and bought every single one of those Eggs!"

Although he had already been somewhat prepared for it.

Hearing that number still made Ye Yinchuan's heart skip a beat.

"So that was fifty thousand?"

"More than that. One thousand was the cheapest; the most expensive cost me fifteen hundred! I spent sixty-eight thousand in total! Those damned bastards! Who the hell was putting out these Eggs?!"

Azu's heart was bleeding.

I'm dying. He tried to be clever and grab a cheap bargain. If there were really such huge bargains, would they fall into your lap?

Sixty-eight thousand for fifty-five Bellsprout Eggs. You could use them for cooking and eat for three months!

Bellsprout! Now you're screwed. Does your wife know about this?

"Bro, don't panic yet..."

Ye Yinchuan did not know what to say about this.

Otherwise, why did people say egg gambling ran deep? That was why it was called egg gambling.

All kinds of scams, big and small, emerged one after another.

Even seasoned veterans could hardly guarantee they would not get burned.

This bro was obviously a rookie, yet he had indulged in wild fantasies.

When buying them, he had not stopped to think.

If such a huge Egg Market truly had so many cheap Charmander Eggs, did everyone else really not know their value?

And when faced with this kind of scam, as long as you were not greedy, you would at most lose a few hundred. You might even make your money back.

Buying fifty-five in one go—was he afraid he would not lose enough?

"Streamer, Lu Ziye, help me. I heard you have connections at the Dream Protection Bureau. Can you help me protect my rights and return the Eggs? These are fake Eggs!"

After overheating for a while, Azu began to calm down and tried to ask for help.

"Hey! I never said they were fake Eggs. Did the people who sold you the Eggs ever tell you they were Charmander Eggs?"

Though Ye Yinchuan felt the slightest bit of sympathy for this bro.

He did not want to wade into muddy waters.

What if this guy took a recording of his livestream and went to argue with those sellers afterward?

Wouldn't that be bringing trouble upon himself?

"Apparently not..."

Azu frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

"Then that's it. They never told you these were Charmander Eggs. They simply sold them as ordinary Pokémon Eggs, so even if you went to the Dream Protection Bureau, it would be useless.

Besides, even if they deliberately fed the Pokémon feed containing coloring, as long as it is non-toxic and complies with laws and regulations, they could say it was meant to improve nutrition. What could you do to them?"

Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, Azu completely broke down.

"Streamer, if you have any solution, please help me! I really don't have much money. I secretly took that sixty-eight thousand from my wife! I only sent you the Master Ball because I thought I was guaranteed to make a profit!

I saw other people making big money from egg gambling, so why did I lose so much the moment I got into it? If I had known, I would've just driven my taxi honestly! If I can't get this money back, the last two years of work will have been for nothing!"

Azu was nearly collapsing. He begged at the camera, raising his hands in a gesture of supplication.

So he was not some big shot—he was a driver.

Tsk, tsk. What a tragedy. But would this have happened if he had not been greedy?

Don't touch egg gambling. Some people really lose everything over it!

Gamblers do not deserve sympathy!

"Bro, calm down. Things have already come to this, so saying anything now is useless. Since you sent me a gift, I'll definitely do everything I can to help you."

Ye Yinchuan sighed as well.

"But I have several conditions."

Hearing this, Azu was like a drowning man clutching at a life-saving straw. His eyes immediately lit up.

"Bro, tell me!"

"First, you can sell this batch of Eggs normally. But you cannot label them as Charmander Eggs and scam other people. Otherwise, the Dream Protection Bureau will definitely come after you."

"Second, since you have already learned your lesson from egg gambling, I hope you remember it. Don't think about windfalls falling from the sky again."

"Third, I'll only help you identify them this once. If you gamble on Eggs again, don't come looking for me. Even if you lose your car, your house, and your wife, I won't pity you in the slightest."

After Ye Yinchuan stated his three conditions, Azu fell silent.

After thinking it over carefully, he nodded solemnly. "Streamer, I understand. I promise you. I'll definitely keep those three points in mind!"

Can this really be salvaged?

Sigh, this is great. The streamer really has principles.

Bro's Master Ball gift was worth it. He met a benefactor—the life-saving kind!

No argument there. I have to follow now!

"I'll say the ugly part first: I can only help you lose a little less. I can't guarantee you won't lose anything at all. As for your wife, I suggest you confess and be lenient with yourself. Admit your mistake, apologize properly, and coax her a little. Don't do anything this stupid again."

"Definitely, definitely! I'll listen to you, bro!"

Azu nodded like a pecking chicken.

He was bald and burly, a big rough-looking man.

But at this moment, he was obedient as a grandson.

Where was even a trace of his earlier impatience and skepticism?
