"You're the one!"
If it were any other Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan might hesitate, but if it were the adorable Eevee and its unknown evolutionary forms full of possibilities, then there's no need for further discussion.
[You have accepted the connection request from user "EeveeEevee"!]
[Connection successful!]
With the notification, Ye Yinchuan saw the figure of the person on the other end of the line. It was a cute and playful girl wearing an octagonal hat.
Judging from her exquisite makeup and outfit, she seemed to be out having fun, perhaps planning to take some photos or something.
The surrounding environment was also beautiful, with gentle breezes and bright sunshine, perfectly matching the lovely lady.
[Wuhu, the girl is so pretty!]
[Great job! It's been a long time since I've seen a beauty of this quality in a live stream!]
[Upstairs, is Bai Zhi really worse than this? She's not wearing makeup!]
Stop talking nonsense, Eevee, I want to see Eevee!
"Hello, host! Hello, Bai Zhi!"
The pretty girl across from me greeted me warmly.
"Hello!"
Ye Yinchuan and Bai Zhi spoke almost in unison.
However, Ye Yinchuan had some doubts. Bai Zhi had a name, so he was the anchor, right?
It was just that Bai Zhi appeared on camera once and introduced herself, but it seemed like everyone in the live stream knew Bai Zhi's name...
The sight of three mythical beasts appearing at the same time was probably too overwhelming, because the live stream video spread rapidly among his fans and casual viewers...
Given that he's already a streamer with nearly 300,000 followers and naturally attracts attention, it's normal for a fair-skinned, beautiful, young assistant to suddenly appear and generate some buzz and discussion.
After all, everyone loves gossip, and they must find matters of the heart quite fascinating.
But I have to say, Bai Zhi is doing a really good job as an "assistant." She can cook, order milk tea, and even fill in for the streams when she's not around to keep the audience interested...
There may be no beautiful women in the live stream, but having one is pleasing to the eye and adds to the enjoyment, isn't it?
Unfortunately, if Bai Zhi weren't still in university, he might have actually tried to recruit her as an assistant...
"Being near the water tower allows one to get the moon first?"
To get back to the point, all I can say is that Ye Yinchuan's anchor mindset is always at play, which can be seen as a manifestation of his career ambition, and it's not necessarily a bad thing!
"Come on, baby, beautiful."
Ye Yinchuan's thoughts happened in an instant, and others couldn't even tell that he was lost in thought.
He got straight to the point regarding the live stream.
The person on the other end nodded and turned the camera to a Pokémon on the grass not far away.
This Pokémon is both familiar and unfamiliar to the person connecting and the viewers in the live stream.
【What kind of Pokémon is this? You're telling me it's an evolution of Eevee?】
[You know what, it does have a bit of an Eevee-like shape, but I've never seen one before...]
[Is this a Grass-type? It even looks like a cat. How come it feels like a special evolution of Leafeon?]
[Stop daydreaming, you upstairs! Let's hear what the host has to say!]
"No, this kid is definitely an Eevee. I watched it grow up and evolve... It just just now, I don't know why it evolved into this form. Streamer, do you know why?"
The person on the other end of the line spoke with a tone full of pity, but also tinged with helplessness.
"This child seems to dislike its appearance because it has been determined to evolve into a Flareon since it was a kitten. I consulted a Pokémon trainer who said my Eevee was almost ready to evolve, and the Fire Stone I ordered would arrive tomorrow... But unexpectedly, it evolved today for no reason..."
She clearly had many questions and felt wronged for her Eevee.
"That's so pitiful. They can't evolve into the form they want, and once they evolve, they can't change back, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi said with great sadness that she could empathize with this Pokémon.
Ye Yinchuan listened, and seemed to be deep in thought:
"So that's how it is..."
He originally thought it was just a simple Eevee evolving into a new form, something fun and welcome.
However, if the Pokémon involved are unhappy, then it becomes a tragedy.
After all, Pokémon also have feelings, and even ideals, like this Eevee.
It's like having your life trajectory forcibly changed; you originally wanted to study, but you're forced to join the army...
Yes, the evolution of Pokémon is an incredibly important milestone in their lives.
Originally, everyone was happy about this, but it turned into a mess.
"It seems that popularizing Pokémon knowledge still has a long way to go!"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but think that if this contact had known about Eevee's possible evolution earlier and taken precautions, perhaps this blunder wouldn't have happened.
Of course, Ye Yinchuan's statement is somewhat hindsight.
With so many Eevee evolutions, even if he were to reveal the methods and details of those evolutions to the public, not everyone could possibly remember them all…
The current awkward situation is also partly due to coincidence.
Moreover, without actual cases, it is even more difficult to achieve widespread dissemination and persuasiveness.
But at least today he can popularize this evolutionary form of Eevee and take this opportunity to make it public.
This will not only attract attention and traffic for themselves, but also help those who raise Eevee. In addition to avoiding unwanted evolution conditions, starting today, Eevee will have another option besides Thunder, Water, and Fire...
Of course, Ye Yinchuan didn't like to profit from human suffering.
Or rather, besides his own interests, he also has a plan for his own benefit today, which is to guide this Eevee as much as possible, so that it can get out of the frustration of external evolution.
This is called win-win cooperation.
"Once a Pokémon evolves, there's basically no chance of it changing."
Ye Yinchuan's tone was firm, which could be considered as extinguishing the last bit of hope of the other party. It is better to have a short pain than a long one. Since the matter has already happened, it is better to take preventive measures and deal with the aftermath as soon as possible than to be mired in regret and remorse.
Well... the term "prognostic measures" is generally used in medicine. Simply put, it means preventing sequelae and adverse effects.
But it works fine in this situation too.
Seeing the interviewee's disappointment, Ye Yinchuan changed the subject:
"What's done is done, so we have to accept it. We need to guide your Pokémon to accept, and even like, its evolved form. The specific results depend on how deep your Pokémon's obsession is... Point the camera so I can have a good look."
At this moment, the person on the other end of the line pointed the camera at the Pokémon.
You can see it from afar; it's sometimes standing, sometimes lying down, but it always looks gloomy and uncomfortable.
This Pokémon is undoubtedly the evolved form of Eevee. In fact, it's not hard to tell from the comments that it is Eevee's Grass-type evolved form – Leafeon!
Eevee's appearance is like a combination of a cat and a fox. Its ears and tail are very much in the shape of leaves. Some of the fur on its body, including the forehead, chest, back of the neck, and key parts of its limbs, are also in the shape of leaves. The "leaf" on its forehead is the longest, which is actually a stick-up tuft of hair.
In addition, Yeezy's other body hair is short and a beautiful yellow like cheese, while its eyes, the inner outline of its ears, and its four legs are a dark brown like trees.
If it weren't for the fact that this Leafeon was a bit too irritable and gloomy, its overall image and posture would still be very elegant, very much in line with the Eevee family.
"Very good, it's in excellent condition, and it is indeed the evolved form of Eevee... Just as you thought, this Eevee has evolved into a Grass-type... Some parts of its body have become like leaves, so let's call it Leaf Eevee."
Based on Ye Yibu's appearance, Ye Yinchuan quickly decided on a name for it.
【Leafie? Why not call it Grass Eevee?】
[As the host said, it's because many parts of my body look like leaves!]
I'd like to seduce Eevee.
[Upstairs? You'd better explain yourself clearly, or I'm calling the police!]
"Leafie, is that the name of this child's evolved form? Eevee, can you hear me? You're not Flareon, you're Leafie."
The contact tried to communicate with Ye Yibu, but Ye Yibu seemed even more upset.
Isn't this just rubbing salt into the wound? Others want to evolve into Flareon, but you insist on emphasizing that it's Leafeon?
Some viewers expressed their incomprehension in the comments.
"On the contrary, although the truth is cruel, like a sharp knife, only by accepting the truth can we truly cheer up. It is useless to run away."
Although the person who made the call was "low in emotional intelligence," Ye Yinchuan believed that this might have been her intention.
"Do you know why your Eevee wants to evolve into Flareon?"
When Ye Yinchuan asked this question, the person on the other end of the line paused for a moment, as if it had stirred up some memories:
"It's probably related to me. I have severe rhinitis. When the surrounding environment gets cold or the weather gets colder, I keep sneezing... and then Eevee wants to help me relieve the pain. It gets better as soon as I warm myself by the fire. Later, when it was doing the evolutionary tendency test, it chose Flareon... It probably hopes to become warm so that it can warm me and help me... This child is really kind."
Hearing what the person on the other end of the line said, Ye Yinchuan nodded. This Eevee really was a good boy, so he should definitely help him out.
As for the "evolutionary tendency test," it's basically exclusive to Eevee. It's simply a test to see which of the three types of Eevee it prefers to evolve into: Water, Fire, or Electro...
This is also reflected in anime. For example, when Eevee is about to evolve, you can give it two evolution stones of different types and let it choose.
[So touching! How thoughtful Ibrahimovic is!]
[Sigh, if any other Eevee evolved like this, it would be a wonderful thing... What a cruel twist of fate!]
Indeed, no one wants to see this happen!
"Actually... it's not that bad, or rather, it's all the best arrangement of fate."
After learning about the situation, Ye Yinchuan pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering, and he said with emotion.
Oh? It seems the streamer has something to say?
I can vaguely smell a hint of pretentiousness!
"Host, what do you mean?"
The person on the other end of the line didn't understand why this was the best arrangement.
"It's very simple. I know a little about rhinitis. In fact, besides being exposed to cold, things like polluted air or pollen can trigger rhinitis... To put it bluntly, rhinitis is caused by irritation, otherwise it will cause an allergic reaction."
[Oh no, the streamer's started talking nonsense!]
So tell me, what does this have to do with anything?
Ye Yinchuan paused for a moment, then continued to explain:
"Actually, what helps the most for rhinitis is fresh, clean air, and our Leafy Eevee is amazing because it can perform photosynthesis and produce fresh air..."
Moreover, it has a natural herbal fragrance, making it a natural scented baby. While it can't provide warmth like Flareon, it can help you in a way unique to Leafeon…”
[That sounds so romantic!]
[Is this okay?]
"Um, I have a small question."
Bai Zhi, who was standing next to her, raised her hand in greeting.
"Please speak, Bai Zhi."
"If Yeezy can photosynthesize, then at night, will it absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide? If I sleep with it, won't it be easy to suffer from oxygen deficiency?"
【Wait, is my assistant allergic to romance?】
Ye Yinchuan responded:
"The answer is no. What you described applies to some ordinary plants. But Leafeon is a Pokémon, an extraordinary creature. If there's enough sunlight during the day, it will continue to release fresh air at night... Besides, even a Pokémon that doesn't photosynthesize will still breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide if you hold it while sleeping, right?"
"That's right!"
Bai Zhi suddenly realized that she knew too little and had misunderstood something.
"Eevee, did you hear that? You can help me in your own way too. Even if you evolve into Leafeon, you can still be needed by me in a way that Flareon can't replace..."
After listening to what Ye Yinchuan said, the contact person understood what kind of words he should use to persuade Ye Yibu.
At this moment, Ye Yibu's eyes softened, and he was no longer so agitated.
Pokémon are very intelligent; it could probably understand what Ye Yinchuan had just said, as well as what its owner had said.
"Well, it's not enough to just say nice things. You have to prove with your actions that you need it, that you love it, and that it's a great help to you... By the way, be careful when you hug it. Although Yeebu doesn't like to fight, its tail can become very sharp in an instant... But I believe this child won't hurt you."
[The host seems to know a lot about Ye Yibu?]
[Not surprising, what Pokémon doesn't he understand?]
[I guess I saw it in some ancient book again!]
The comments section was buzzing with discussion.
At this moment, the person connecting to the line also followed Ye Yinchuan's instructions, stepped forward to hug Ye Yibu, and inhaled its scent and the surrounding air.
"Baby Ye Yibu, you smell so good! The air around you is so fresh. I feel like my rhinitis is getting better just smelling the air you're releasing! You're such a good baby! Mommy loves you so much, what would I do without you!"
[Oh my god, that's so cheesy!]
Haha, I never expected a beautiful woman to be like this!
[Uh... Ye Yibu's smile was practically bursting out!]
Which Pokémon could resist this?
Ye Yinchuan also took the opportunity to carefully examine the panel of this Eevee, while organizing his thoughts and planning how to introduce it to everyone so that they could better understand Eevee.
New Green Pokémon: Leafeon
[Level: 19]
[Attribute: Grass]
[Gender: Male]
[Racial stats: A-rank (525)]
Individual Value: Grade B (121)
[Ability: Leaf Guard]
Personality: Gentle
[Moves: Leaf Blade, Shout, Tackle, Sand Rush, Quick Attack, Round Eye, Leech Seed]
Status: Relieved
Evolutionary path: Eevee - Leafeon
[Trait: None]
"Well, it's a good thing your Eevee has a gentle personality. If it were stubborn, it wouldn't be so easy to persuade it."
Ye Yinchuan commented, and then began to state his assessment results.
"After evolving into Leafeon, its ability becomes 'Leaf Guard.' This ability grants Leafeon's leaf-like fur a special power, reducing the effects of status conditions and allowing for normal defense... The defensive effect is further enhanced in sunny weather and under strong sunlight."
Although no one asked, Ye Yinchuan felt it was necessary to explain.
Actually, "Leaf Guard" isn't a particularly rare ability; many Grass-type Pokémon may possess it, so it's not difficult for viewers to understand.
Compared to the effects in the game, the "Leaf Defense" in this world is an epic upgrade.
After all, in the game, it only has an effect under special weather conditions.
And this thing, not only is it permanently stationary, but in addition to mitigating the effects of abnormal states, it also provides a certain degree of defense...
Of course, there are also some corresponding weakenings, which can be considered as a balance. The main difference is that it has changed from "immunity" to "reduction" of abnormal status. There are still some differences between the two.
It's clear that the person connecting isn't a professional trainer, and this Leafeon doesn't seem to have any battle-related needs, so there's no need to deliberately emphasize things like level or IVs.
[So, host, how exactly did this Leafeon evolve? Was it due to a genetic mutation? Or is there some connection between its parents and the new Leafeon?]
Upon seeing this comment, Ye Yinchuan realized that he needed to explain the evolution conditions of Ye Yibu.
As for the comments about the relationship between Yeevee and Shinyeon...
Although both Leafeon and Nerubian are Grass-type and somewhat resemble cats, they are actually completely unrelated...
If we have to talk about parentage, in the game's setting, it's actually Litten that is the parent of Eevee, and they can breed the Egg Move "Double Kick".
"Actually, the conditions for Leafeon's evolution are not complicated. Basically, once you reach a certain level and come into contact with a Leaf Stone, you can evolve."
[Leaf Stone? Are there really evolution stones like that?]
[It seems there are, but it seems no one has considered using them on Eevee... Besides, the Leaf Stone is far less valuable than the Water, Fire, and Lightning Evolution Stones!]
[Wow! If Leaf Stones can evolve Eevee, wouldn't the price skyrocket? I need to stock up!]
[You're overthinking it. While Leaf Stones aren't as expensive as Water, Fire, or Thunder Evolution Stones, they're still relatively rare and valuable... Leaf Stones can help Grass-type Pokémon that are having difficulty evolving. Even if they don't evolve, they're still invaluable for Grass-type Pokémon!]
[If you have the resources, it might be worth stockpiling. Once this news spreads, the price of Leaf Stones will definitely rise! At least it won't be too far off from the price of the Water, Fire, and Lightning Evolution Stones!]
Seeing the comments section, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated. He had to admit, netizens were all incredibly talented; they even thought of making money from this…
He had considered that revealing this valuable information would inevitably cause some turmoil and impact on the market for evolution stones, and even the entire Pokémon world.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Besides, even if he didn't say it, since Ye Yibu has already appeared, it's only a matter of time before someone researches it. Why should he keep it to himself?
Even if we take a step back and say that he's a streamer, he's already earned his own income by attracting attention and viewership. Spreading out these valuable pieces of information little by little is a huge profit for him.
As for using this intelligence, there are many ways to make money.
This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].
For example, they might monopolize the market by creating Eevee and the Leaf Stone themselves, or, as some viewers have suggested, they might stockpile items in advance...
But putting aside whether he has the qualifications to trade a large number of Pokémon, these are ultimately minor matters for someone with a system like him.
So what is the right path?
Live streaming Pokémon appraisal is the proper way to go; at most, it's just for professional trainers to enjoy the fun of the Pokémon world, which is secondary.
Ye Yinchuan knew all too well that the system still had a lot of room for development, and that there might be even more incredible exclusive abilities to come...
That kind of benefit cannot be measured in money.
Therefore, firmly grasping the path of live streaming is the wisest course for him at present.
Perhaps in terms of making money, there might be some detours, but Ye Yinchuan thinks there's a really cool saying—
Taking the long way around is my shortest shortcut!
"But I don't have a Leaf Stone... so why did it evolve?"
The person on the other end of the line was puzzled.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Ye Yinchuan, but rather that the connection didn't match.
Haha, how embarrassing!
[Those planning to stock up should wait, the situation has changed!]
Ye Yinchuan remained calm and composed, and he said:
"Look around, are there any large rocks covered in moss? Hmm... I think they're called moss rocks."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line seemed to have a sudden inspiration, as if something had been triggered within them.
"Ah...isn't that it?"
She then turned the camera to a huge rock, as big as a small mountain, standing in the middle of the grass, covered with moss.
"Yes, that's right, this is Mossy Rock. Although it can't be taken away like the Leaf Stone, its function is basically the same as the Leaf Stone. They might be the same thing in essence."
[Huh? Such a huge Leaf Stone? That's like striking it rich!]
Where is it? I'm off to dig right now!
Seeing the eager comments on the screen, Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated, and quickly added:
"I really can't do anything with you guys, are you obsessed with money? Although lichen rocks come in various sizes, they are not uncommon. Unlike grass stones, which can be dug up and taken away to have an effect, lichen rocks are a whole piece. Only when they are in their original place can they play a similar role to leaf stones."
As for your idea of digging out Leaf Stones from Mossy Rock, you're dreaming. There are no Leaf Stones inside Mossy Rock at all, because Grass-type energy is absorbed by the Mossy Rock and affects the surrounding area, creating no conditions for the production of Leaf Stones!
Ye Yinchuan's meaning was very clear: he was advising these people not to try to take advantage of Taiyan!
Although this thing has been studied, not many people actually know about it; it's a niche natural phenomenon. But now that I've mentioned it, things might change, especially since it's associated with the popular Pokémon Eevee. Who knows, many netizens might know about it by the next day.
Among so many netizens, there's bound to be one or two talented individuals who might just go and blow up the mossy rock, which would be terrible.
That's pointless. I originally thought that digging up some fragments would be enough to fight that Leaf Stone!
【You're overthinking it. Most of the mossy rocks are in high-level jungle areas; they're not that easy to find.】
Unlawful destruction is illegal, not to mention that even if Mossy Rock truly contains Leaf Stones, large-scale mining of minerals requires qualifications!
Seeing these comments made Ye Yinchuan feel a little more at ease.
As a public figure, one must be very careful with one's words and actions, otherwise, one may inadvertently cause great negative impact.
"So it was this rock that caused it..."
The person on the other end of the line was about to complain a bit, but then suddenly remembered something and shut up.
If she were to say, "It's all because of Moss Rock that Eevee evolved into Leafeon," wouldn't that imply that she's still looking down on Leafeon?
The matter is in the past, so it's best for her to keep quiet about it. Even if she has any complaints, she should keep them to herself to avoid causing further harm to Ye Yibu.
Ye Yinchuan sensed the subtle mindset of the person on the other end of the line, and he nodded:
"Evolving into a Yeeve isn't a bad thing. In fact, it seems that your Yeeve is likely the first one to be kept as a pet and to appear in the public eye. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's unique."
Ye Yinchuan added the "currently" restriction.
Eevee is so popular that even though it and its evolution stones are relatively expensive, it can't dampen people's enthusiasm for it...
This is similar to a popular game that suddenly gets a new version, such as adding a new character or a new class, which naturally attracts many players.
It is almost certain that the number of Yeezys will experience an unprecedented explosive growth in the near future!
Therefore, Ye Yinchuan would like to add a few more words here:
"Family members, I know some of you are itching to raise a Leafeon, but please remember... Pokémon evolution is a crucial and irreversible stage in life. So, as breeders, you must think carefully and fully respect Leafeon's wishes... You can't just abandon it after starting something!"
[The host is absolutely right, thumbs up!]
Yes, what I fear most is blindly following the trend...
[Speaking of which, it's hilarious. A friend of mine hoarded a whole lake of Feebas, but when the hype died down, everyone found that their Feebas couldn't evolve into Milotic like the streamers did, and the price plummeted... He used to drive a Mercedes, but now he's so broke he has to take the bus!]
[They're overestimating us. Don't Eevee and Leaf Stones cost money?]
"Alright everyone, is there anything else wrong?"
[Also...host, how are Yeevo's battle abilities? Is it suitable for training as a battle Pokémon?]
"Good question."
Ye Yinchuan also shared his views on this issue.
"In terms of personality, Yeezys generally do not like to fight. Their way of survival determines that even if they do not eat, they can obtain energy through photosynthesis... Even if they do eat, they mainly eat vegetables."
"From this perspective, Leafeon doesn't seem like a good choice for training as a battle Pokémon... but that's not actually the case. Like other Eevee evolutions, Leafeon has a strong ability to adapt to its environment and potential in battle..."
"As we mentioned before, Leafeon's tail can become incredibly sharp, comparable to a legendary sword, capable of slicing through even a large tree in one strike! If you could master a move called 'Leaf Blade' and combine it with 'Swords Dance,' Leafeon would possess terrifying destructive power!"
[Holy crap, this isn't a Leafeon, it's a Saberee!]
[Upstairs, that's Sword Eevee, you're something else... but it's definitely cool!]
"In short, everyone should respect the individuality of Pokémon. It's not impossible to train Yeevee into a battle Pokémon, but the prerequisite is that it is willing."
Seeing the imaginative comments in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan's expression changed.
Sword Eevee? That does sound cool... but what comes to his mind is an Eevee covered in steel armor with sword-like structures on its body...
Speaking of which, Eevee doesn't seem to have a Steel-type evolved form yet, right?
It's unclear whether this will appear in the original work later on.
There are no Pokémon works in this world, or rather, all Pokémon works are derived from real-world Pokémon, so Ye Yinchuan couldn't possibly expect a Steel-type Eevee to appear out of thin air...
However, his "True Knowledge Compendium" will be updated with each version.
In other words, if a Steel-type Eevee actually appears in the original work, then I will receive the information... As for whether a Steel-type Eevee will appear in this world or whether it already exists, that's hard to say!
"Alright, that's about enough, isn't it?"
Ye Yinchuan was about to end the live stream and take a short break. He still needed to prepare for the upcoming assessment exam. Although the live stream was important, he couldn't push himself to the limit.
"Thank you, host. Without you, Ye Yibu and I wouldn't know how to face the future... You gave us hope for life again."
The person on the other end of the line made a bit of a fuss, but Ye Yinchuan understood that feeling. In any case, the best outcome was that everyone was happy now.
User "Ibrahimovic" has gifted a Master Ball x9!
"Thank you, beautiful lady, and thank you everyone for the gifts. If you like the streamer, please follow me!"
Nine Master Balls in his account significantly boosted Ye Yinchuan's livestream earnings.
I was initially worried that the live stream of the exam wouldn't be very effective and I might not earn much money...
But now that I have a safety net for today, I can do another live stream tonight and I'll be in great shape.
Generally speaking, people are resistant to work and want to rest more.
However, Ye Yinchuan always felt that if he missed a broadcast, he would earn less money. This mentality drove him not to miss any of his scheduled broadcasts...
At first, he just wanted to take advantage of the ease of building up his account in the early stages, so he would broadcast two shows a day diligently, and once the data improved, he would take a good rest and recuperate.
In short, let nature take its course.
Maybe one day I'll really feel tired, and then I'll take a good rest for a while.
The rest of the time was spent chatting and joking with the audience.
Ye Yinchuan closed his eyes to rest for a while, during which time he asked Bai Zhi to take over the broadcast and chat with the audience...
"Bai Zhi seems to be working a bit hard. I should treat her to something nice later."
Perhaps feeling he had earned too much, Ye Yinchuan felt somewhat indebted to Bai Zhi for not receiving any payment despite her help. However, he was afraid that giving her money directly would be seen as an insult.
"You can check your results now."
After a while, the written test was over, and the results were released.
"You got 145 out of 150! That's great!"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but praise Ye Yinchuan's achievements.
"So, a perfect score is impossible after all? Oh well..."
Ye Yinchuan glanced at it and saw that the main reason for the deductions was that the questions were not rigorous enough, and even that the question setter did not have a good understanding of Pokémon...
Using overly advanced understanding to provide an answer here will actually be judged as wrong...
For example, this right or wrong question that resulted in a deduction of points.
[True/False: All ekans are not born with venom; they acquire it through the accumulation of toxins later in life!]
Ye Yinchuan's question was marked as wrong, but the standard answer was correct.
Because Ye Yinchuan took into account individual differences and the possibility that Ekans might inherit venomous egg moves, he couldn't say "all" but rather "most".
Hmm... some people might think that the reason for the incorrect judgment is that Ekans is a Poison-type Pokémon.
In fact, although Ekans is a venomous snake, it is not venomous when it is first born. If you are bitten, you will only feel pain. This is a little-known fact that is not very important.
After checking his grades, Ye Yinchuan felt relieved.
A score of 145 is quite an excellent result.
The break time passed quickly.
With no time to dwell on the written test results or Ye Yibu's situation, Ye Yinchuan moved on to the interview venue.
Ye Yinchuan also did his homework on this part.
Basically, the interviewer will ask you some questions, and based on your answers, you will receive a score and an impression.
Then, the crucial step is the subsequent authentication process.
Staff will provide Pokémon for candidates to identify...
The interviewer will give a score based on the results and accuracy of the assessment. As long as a certain standard is met, you will be considered qualified and able to successfully obtain the certificate!
At this moment, many candidates gathered here, waiting for the interviewer to call their number.
It's said that the number being called is random, entirely depending on the interviewer's mood...
Some of these candidates were still basking in the joy of passing the written exam, while others remained anxious. After all, compared to the rote memorization required for the written exam, the interview assessed the practical application of assessment skills...
In addition, Pokémon has a lot of randomness, so sometimes bad luck can be very frustrating.
If you're lucky, you might come across one that's easy to identify, or one that happens to be something you're good at...
Yes, that's the nature of identification; not everyone has the knowledge to identify all Pokémon.
The number of Pokémon species an appraiser can identify is also an important standard for measuring their experience and skill level...
For example, the entry-level appraiser exam requires the ability to identify more than 20 common Pokémon.
But in fact, there are probably far more than 20 common Pokémon!
At this moment, a candidate was called, went inside, and came out about seven minutes later with a long face.
"This is too difficult. Is Grimer even considered a common Pokémon? Its Individual Values (IVs) are impossible to determine with the naked eye... These examiners are making things difficult for us!"
Upon hearing this, those around him were startled and quickly took out their phones to search for identification techniques for stinky mud.
Ye Yinchuan, on the other hand, didn't react much. Grimer is indeed classified as a common Pokémon in textbooks, and few people study how to identify it. However, he had identified Grimer during a live stream and had some experience with it... It's definitely not the type that can't be identified at all!
It can only be said that the candidate was not well prepared, and the interviewer's questions were rather tricky.
"Candidate number 403, please proceed through the gate to participate in the interview!"
As his number was called, Ye Yinchuan strode forward. His eyes, his steps, his demeanor, and his overall spirit exuded confidence and determination.
[Here it comes! The host is finally about to appear!]
[Hehe, these are all treasure-hunting streamers, it should be a piece of cake for them, right?]
The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement as everyone eagerly awaited Ye Yinchuan's appearance, eager to see how he would effortlessly and overwhelmingly handle the examiners' difficult questions.
Are these proctors even sitting properly? Get up and let the anchor sit down!
I'm worried that once it starts, I won't know who will be testing whom!
Ye Yinchuan entered the interview room, where the design itself created a very oppressive atmosphere.
As soon as the candidate enters the room, they will be in front of the interviewer, who sits in a circle around them, creating a sense of interrogation and a strong feeling of pressure.
In addition, there is a passageway next to it, which is used to transport Pokémon for the exam.
These kinds of Pokémon are usually called "Pokémon teachers," like proctors or interviewers—that's what they like to call them...
"Candidate number 403, Ye Yinchuan, scored 145 on the written exam... I heard you only spent fifteen minutes on the exam before handing in your paper?"
"One of the proctors asked."
"Yes, teacher."
Ye Yinchuan replied that he should try to make his eyes look as harmless as possible.
After all, it's an interview. You can't give people the impression of being arrogant and then get harassed, right?
I think it was less than eight minutes?
[Examiner, remember this: fifteen minutes isn't the broadcaster's limit, it's the limit for submitting the paper!]
[Haha, the streamer is quite modest, managing to hold back from arguing?]
"Okay, now, each of us examiners will ask you some questions about the assessment. We hope you can answer them as well as you can."
The lead examiner nodded, agreeing that Ye Yinchuan's attitude was quite proper.
Next came the formal interview process.
