• Ye Yinchuan connected with Ms. Carrot and guessed that her Pokémon was an Oddish, surprising her.

• Ye Yinchuan inferred that Ms. Carrot had an Oddish, then invited her to show it while challenging Argumentative Bastard to bring a Pokémon for an appraisal.

• Ms. Carrot questioned whether her Oddish would smell even worse after evolving, while Argumentative Bastard challenged Ye Yinchuan to convince him.
• Ye Yinchuan explained that Gloom’s odor came from pollen and that its secretion depended on its emotions, which could create a cycle of stress and constant stinking.

• Argumentative Bastard dismissed Ye Yinchuan’s explanation and demanded proof that the Oddish would not become a stinky Gloom.
• Ye Yinchuan noticed that Ms. Carrot’s Oddish was about to evolve.

• Ye Yinchuan used Appraisal Eye and found that the Squirtle suffered from oxygen deficiency, depression, panic, and aquaphobia.

Ye Yinchuan diagnosed Argumentative Bastard’s Squirtle with Aquaphobia, a claim that viewers doubted until he investigated how it was kept. The chapter ended with Ye discovering that the Squirtle was struggling because Argumentative Bastard kept it submerged in a full aquarium, unaware that it was a land turtle.

• Ye Yinchuan checked that his first stream had earned 1,012 yuan after the platform’s cut, then decided to order kiln chicken.

• Ye Yinchuan ordered a modest kiln chicken meal and calculated that feeding Snorlax quality Intermediate Food would cost hundreds of yuan each day.
• Ye Yinchuan chose the cheaper Silver Crown brand and found that same-city delivery cost more than he could afford.
