Live Stream Treasure Appraisal: Your elf isn't thriving!

Chapter 394 Flashing Different Colors, Plop Monkey! Double-edged wooden sticks swung over the head,

Chapter 394 A Flashing, Different Colored Monkey! A double-edged wooden stick swung overhead, a Chinese dragon tattooed on its back! The story concludes here!

"So that's how it is... Is this the correct way to use my otter? I understand, streamer. I will definitely raise it well until it evolves into a Claymore, so that this characteristic of its can be brought out to the fullest!"

Hearing Ye Yinchuan's evaluation of the otter and his vision for its future, the interviewer was slightly excited and felt a surge of emotion.

"Alright, work hard. Once it evolves into a Twinblade or a Greatsword Demon, you can come to me anytime if there are any new changes or problems."

Ye Yinchuan has also laid the groundwork for something, and we'll follow up on the situation of this "neck-bladed" otter.

He then conducted several more live broadcasts closely related to the theme.

[Host, can you help me figure out what's wrong with my otter? It was born with two scallop shells, but the way it holds them is a bit strange...]

"Damn, this otter has the potential to be a Fighting-type. And look at its scallop, there's a groove in the middle where you can put part of your hand in, so the scallop can turn into something like a boxing glove or brass knuckles..."

[Host, something's wrong with my tapping monkey. Look at its stick, it's much thicker and longer than a normal tapping monkey's, and it can even twirl the stick...]

"You're a stick-wielding monkey! It's true what they say, where there's a sleeping dragon, there's a phoenix chick. Your Grookey also has the potential for Fighting-type moves. If you develop it properly, you might actually be able to defeat your enemies with a stick..."

Moreover, because it can control the growth of trees through sound, it can suddenly extend the attack distance when striking with the stick, catching the enemy off guard... On the other hand, it can also add sonic vibrations to the stick's attacks...

[How's my otter? Can you spot any of its features, streamer?]

"Hiss... Your otter doesn't even have freckles on its face. I can't say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Some people might really like it, but for others, it means they've lost the unique charm of an otter!"

……

Soon, one connection after another was established, and Pokémon after Pokémon were identified, with all sorts of special Pokémon emerging one after another...

A new connection caught Ye Yinchuan's attention.

@Descendants of the Dragon:

[A rare, shiny, heterochromatic Padauk monkey, with a unique mutation. Would the streamer be interested in taking a look?]

Ye Yinchuan had originally thought that today's live stream was almost over, but after seeing this comment, he had to change his mind.

"Come on, bring the baby."

Ye Yinchuan decisively approved. If what the interviewer said was true, then such a Pokémon would definitely be top-notch and would have considerable entertainment value.

[Connection successful!]

With a notification, the Connector appeared on screen with his Pokémon. The Connector was wearing a yellow training uniform, revealing his muscular physique, and had a sharp gaze, which inexplicably reminded Ye Yinchuan of an old friend.

Upon closer inspection, a poster of a kung fu star was prominently displayed on the wall behind the other person, making everything make sense.

Ye Yinchuan also noticed something unusual about this padong monkey.

Padummon is the evolved form of Knocking Monkey, and also the transitional form before evolving into Thunder King Kong. It looks like a green humanoid monkey.

What's interesting about the Padong monkey is that two wooden sticks are twisted together with its hair, which is a kind of hair tie. It usually sways its body to find a rhythm...

But when the two sticks are removed, the monkey's mohawk hairstyle stands up, making him look very punk and arrogant.

This padong monkey has a very different wooden stick hanging on its head. At the end of each stick, there is another stick connected to it, which can be seen to be connected by plant roots.

Furthermore, as the interviewer mentioned, this Paton monkey is a shiny variant, with a body that is more golden than that of a regular Paton monkey.

[Wow, this little monkey might also have fighting-type talent? Isn't that nunchucks?]

Wow, could it be that this monkey grew up watching Bruce Lee's kung fu movies and underwent a mutation due to being exposed to it all along?

[Doesn't that golden fur look like Bruce Lee's bodysuit?]

The audience was amazed.

The person connecting the video was quite pleased with himself, pulling the padong monkey along to demonstrate:

"Look at my monkey tattoo! It has a dragon-shaped tattoo on the back. Tell me, isn't it cool!"

[That's true, but why do I feel that the dragon shape is a bit rough?]

[It's not man-made, so it can't be that refined!]

[This is incredible! This Padmon monkey is enough to drive all Bruce Lee fans crazy!]

[I'm not a Bruce Lee fan, but I'm totally smitten!]

At this moment, the person on the other end of the line also called out to Padong Monkey:

"Hey Xiaolong, show everyone your nunchucks!"

At a command, the monkey decisively removed the two wooden sticks from its head, shook them, and sure enough, they were nunchucks. What followed was a nunchuck performance, which was even quite rhythmic.

"My 'Padong Monkey' is definitely top-notch, isn't it, streamer?"

Hearing the smug tone of the person on the other end of the line, Ye Yinchuan's expression became somewhat subtle.

"It's truly outstanding. Not only is it a Shiny type, but it also wields nunchucks so skillfully without any Fighting-type talent. This is purely due to hard work... But if you ask me, that dragon on its back, you created it yourself, didn't you? The craftsmanship is a bit too rough!"

Ye Yinchuan's tone wasn't exactly one of disapproval, but rather he pointed out some potential problems.

This made the person on the other end of the line turn slightly dark. The perfect bubble in his mind was seen through at a glance and punctured in a few words by Ye Yinchuan.

[I laughed, could it be a fake?]

[No, the streamer didn't deny the monkey's excellence, but the dragon tattoo on its back looks like it was done by someone else!]

"You modified those nunchucks yourself, didn't you?"

Ye Yinchuan didn't care about any of that. People came to him for appraisal in his live stream, which was simply a matter of seeking the truth.

One is one, and two is two. If anyone cheats, not only will he not tolerate any dishonesty, but he will also be responsible to the audience.

"Yes... I knew I couldn't hide it from your eyes."

The person connecting looked down in frustration. He really liked the shimmering, strangely colored Padun monkey. Adding the dragon tattoo and changing its wooden stick into nunchucks were all modifications he made later, just as Ye Yinchuan had said.

No, maybe it's because I've seen so many unusual individuals on this streamer's channel, but I actually don't find nunchucks that outrageous...

[So you just admitted it outright? Haha, that's pretty straightforward!]

[What have you done to this perfectly good shiny, heterochromatic Padoon monkey...?]

[How did you figure that out? But the streamer is a master appraiser, so they must have some exceptional skills.]

"Well... While Pokémon have the attributes of pets, they are also independent individuals with their own consciousness. Although it sounds a bit contradictory, we have always advocated respecting the individuality of Pokémon, which means that we cannot impose our own preferences on your Pokémon."

Ye Yinchuan remained faithful to his original intentions until the end.

"Don't worry, streamer. My Padong Monkey also really likes Bruce Lee. Otherwise, it wouldn't have accepted my modifications, and it wouldn't have mastered nunchaku to this level."

The person on the other end explained.

"Really? Are you sure? But I clearly saw a hint of reluctance in its eyes just now. Generally speaking, a Pokémon's idol is usually another Pokémon... Maybe it cooperated with you only because it loves you, not because it truly loves Bruce Lee?"

Ye Yinchuan posed a profound question.

The person on the other end of the line frowned, seemingly reflecting on the situation more deeply. Being criticized in front of so many online viewers was also causing him some inner turmoil and embarrassment.

"Okay, maybe it follows my preferences because it loves me, but is it possible that it also enjoys the process and has come to like Bruce Lee?"

Still being stubborn!

[Hey, don't ruin this amazing little monkey!]

"Perhaps that's possible, but there's also the possibility that Pokémon's instinct is to become stronger. If you force Pandaren to imitate Bruce Lee, it won't have the talent for Fighting-type Pokémon; it will only waste its potential and won't be able to become stronger..."

"Aren't you just kidding? Any Fighting-type Pokémon would be much better."

Ye Yinchuan was also disappointed in his son's lack of progress.

He could hear the inner voice and knew that this padong monkey was definitely not a fan of Bruce Lee and nunchucks. Its instinct as a padong monkey was to love rhythm and music, and to love nature and plants.

Therefore, although it was not explicitly stated, there was no possibility that he had made a misjudgment.

"Uh...is that so?"

The person on the other end seemed distracted.

"You decide what to do. Although if you continue like this, Padong Monkey won't have any major problems, but once a child's talent is wasted, it's wasted, and there's no going back..."

A person can work like a beast of burden their whole life, but they will never be truly happy, especially if there are opportunities to change their circumstances...

Besides, you, Pappomon, might feel a little uncomfortable when interacting with other Pokémon or other Pokémon, because having two nunchucks hanging on your head is abstract not only to humans but also to Pokémon. It might make you feel inferior...

That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself.

Ye Yinchuan had gone to great lengths to help this monkey, doing everything he could to maximize its chances.

[Personally, I think the streamer's analogy is a bit inappropriate. This little monkey doesn't seem like a hardworking animal; it's more like one whose interests and even school choices are dictated by its parents!]

[Wow, that's pretty harsh!]

Many viewers in the live chat were supporting Ye Yinchuan, but there were also dissenting voices.

[It's their own Pokémon; let them do whatever they want. We shouldn't worry about it.]

[No, now we don't even have the right to decide the direction of our own Pokémon's development?]

Ye Yinchuan didn't bother to respond to these comments. He didn't intend to force anything; some things are only meant for those who can listen.

If this can inspire the people involved and allow the padong monkey to have a better future, then that would be a good deed.

"That's all for today. There are still some follow-up matters at the tourist park that I need to handle."

Ye Yinchuan ended the live stream, marking the end of today's broadcast.

Don't go, bro, just a little longer, just a little longer!

[Forget it, the streamer's gotten too cocky; he doesn't even work overtime anymore...]

"Stop fooling around..."

Ye Yinchuan smiled and ended the live stream.

As time went by, the tourist park, which should have been closing time, was still packed with people, simply because Ye Yinchuan had promised that he would definitely take care of the group of tourists who had been assigned to the park that day, and not let them wait in vain.

Just then, a group of people rushed over, demanding to see Ye Yinchuan.

The person who arrived was Hong Yang.

Hong Yang and his Hong Group were the biggest investors in Ye Yinchuan and the tourist park, contributing significantly in terms of capital, technology, and distribution channels.

"I heard you were busy, so I came straight over. I should have been there for the opening ceremony today, but I was delayed by some things."

Hong Yang arrived at Ye Yinchuan's location and said somewhat apologetically,

"Let me introduce you. This is my son and cousin, who are also shareholders of the company. I hope you don't mind their abrupt arrival today..."

Following beside Hong Yang were his son Hong Xing, as well as Hong Xiaoming and Hong Xiaoqing.

At this moment, all three of them looked somewhat embarrassed. They had originally wanted to leave early, but they got too engrossed in touring the park and watching Ye Yinchuan's live stream. By the time they wanted to leave, Hong Yang had caught them red-handed...

Having witnessed Ye Yinchuan's capabilities firsthand and the astonishing scale of the tourist park, the three were completely convinced of Ye Yinchuan's abilities and deeply understood Hong Yang's current attitude.

Why not enshrine such a large Buddha statue quickly, or wait for others to steal its space?

Even Hong Xing, who had previously been prejudiced against Ye Yinchuan and was not convinced, became well-behaved and sensible at this time.

While watching the live stream, he crammed on some Pokémon knowledge and finally understood the true value of being a Ho-Oh spokesperson...

His studies abroad focused on finance and business, which were almost entirely disconnected from Pokémon. As a result, he had only heard of Ho-Oh but didn't know much about it.

In fact, people like Hung Hing, while a minority in the Pokémon world, are not nonexistent.

These people can be further divided into two categories—

One type focuses solely on human endeavors, becoming detached from Pokémon; the other treats Pokémon as tools and weapons, even legendary ones…

They are grouped together because they both share the fundamental belief that humans are superior to Pokémon, which leads to contempt and arrogance.

After a day of exposure, Hung Hsing once again felt the magic of Pokémon. Although his values ​​cannot be changed overnight, the door to a new world seemed to have quietly opened for him.

After the park closed, everyone gathered at a high-end restaurant for a rather business-like meal...

However, with Ye Yinchuan around, there would also be some light meals, such as sweet and sour pork, and his Pokémon also enjoyed a correspondingly sumptuous dinner.

"Dad, is it too late for me to become a trainer?"

After dinner, Hung Hing privately approached Hung Yeung and said something that caught the latter completely off guard.

"Are you serious? Didn't you say that Pokémon would only hinder you from building your business empire?"

After his initial surprise, Hong Yang jokingly remarked with a smile.

"Hmm...that was before. I did give up my beloved Pokémon for my studies, and at one point I thought that Pokémon were just pets, just appendages of humans..."

But perhaps, this world is ultimately a world where humans and Pokémon coexist. So many people love Pokémon, and the success of our Hong Group is inseparable from Pokémon... That's why I plan to get to know Pokémon anew, starting with raising one myself!

"Okay, I support it!"

Hung Yang was initially quite unhappy about Hung Hing's suggestion that the two shareholders come to "inspect" Ye Yinchuan. After all, if this matter wasn't handled properly and offended that person, the consequences for the Hung Group's future plans could be severe...

But seeing the changes in Hung Hing, Hung Yeung felt that the outcome was good, at least it made Hung Hing less arrogant and haughty, and taught them a thing or two about their own limitations!

"Then... could you please help me find a better one, Master Ye?"

After the tourist park opened, Ye Yinchuan stayed in charge for a few more days, and then left the remaining tedious tasks to the staff...

Ye Yinchuan, on the other hand, has restarted his outdoor live streaming.

This time, his destination is one of the three major wilderness areas of Crystal City... Tidal Coast!
