Chapter 42 About Totem Pokémon! How to Double the Value of Omanyte? It's Simple! (Please Read On!)
[Connection lost!]
Nutritional Yarn heard it, but he still slapped it too fast.
[666, Brother Maoqian is really in a hurry.]
[I'm so moved I could cry! He'd even give up money for Omanyte!]
[They're probably afraid the patient won't survive and won't get a single penny!]
Is it a nutritional supplement, or a nutritional thread?
@NutritionalYarn: [Bro, I was too fast! Please accept it again!]
Ye Yinchuan was both amused and exasperated:
"It's alright, there's no rush to find a way to make money. You should take Omanyte to the Pokémon Center for emergency treatment first."
@Officer Tan: [That's right, life safety comes first.]
@NutritionalWool: [Bro, I finally got a taxi, please tell me! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight!]
[Speak quickly, I can't sleep at night!]
[Don't be ridiculous, who would reveal a truly profitable method?]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the time; there was still a while until midnight, so he nodded and said:
"Anyway, the broadcast is about to end, get on the bus and connect with me."
@NutritionalYarn: [Great, bro! You better wait for me!]
After that, the nutrition yarn stopped moving; it must have been busy with something else.
Since he was already waiting, Ye Yinchuan decided to answer some of the questions from the live chat.
Why does a higher level actually lower the value? Isn't it supposed to be that the higher the level, the more powerful the character?
"There are many factors that determine a Pokémon's value, and they are quite complex. A high level is powerful. But it also means that the Pokémon has already grown up and missed some training or improvement methods, and its potential may have been wasted. It's not absolute; it depends on the situation."
Yes, it cannot be generalized.
[Raising and selling high-level Pokémon is actually not very cost-effective, because feeding and training cost money, which is high, but the value is not necessarily proportional.]
[It's a wild Pokémon that you don't have to raise yourself; it's practically free.]
"High-level wild Pokémon fall into two categories. One type survives in the wild, barely making ends meet, sometimes hungry and sometimes full. Even if they are high-level Pokémon, their development is actually quite poor, and their potential is likely wasted. It's difficult to develop them further later on, so it's better to raise lower-level ones."
What's the other one?
I love listening to the host ramble on about these things; I always discover something new.
"There's another type, the apex predator of the food chain, the overlord of Pokémon. These wild Pokémon are often incredibly powerful and ferocious. Because of their formidable strength, they never lack food, and even rare and precious resources. Not only are their potential developed to an extremely high degree, but they have also experienced brutal battles in the wild..."
"These dominant Pokémon are actually more expensive the higher their level! The only problem is that both catching and taming them are extremely difficult. You see, as the dominant species among wild Pokémon, they're practically the king of beasts, and they won't easily bow down to humans!"
Wow! So handsome?!
"A Totem Pokémon? I've heard of it! Last time, a Totem Charmeleon was auctioned off for a whopping 1.8 million. The owner bought it and went through a lot of trouble, thinking he had tamed it. But after that Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, it became incredibly ferocious, destroying the house and beating up all the other Pokémon. It ended up in the ICU, and I heard it flapped its wings and flew away..."
[A steal? 1.8 million?! Even a top-tier Little Fire Dragon only costs 20,000 to 30,000 at most, right? A regular one only costs 2,000 to 3,000!]
[What's the big deal? The wages of a lowly laborer are 3,500 yuan, while the wealth of the super-rich... the difference is even more outrageous!]
So, ordinary people shouldn't even think about it. Totem Pokémon aren't something ordinary people can afford, nor can they catch or tame!
Seeing the heated discussion in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan was also filled with excitement.
The dominant Pokémon, they're really cool!
I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to tame one in the future?
For trainers who enjoy battling, owning a top-tier Pokémon would undoubtedly be the pinnacle of their lives.
Why is it called the Overlord? Because it is strong, extremely strong.
Only in this way can you suppress other wild Pokémon and dominate the area!
[How did the streamer know that the Omanyte was dehydrated? Isn't Omanyte a Rock-type?]
"Omanyst is a dual Rock/Water type. Although it can move on land, it mainly lives in water and feeds on plankton. That's why I determined that Omanyst wasn't a Totem Pokémon. It's very rare for this kind of Pokémon to become a Totem. As for the lack of water, that Omanyst's eyes were bloodshot, and the surface of its tentacles was quite dry; it was obvious at a glance."
[Can you talk about the skill "Primal Power"?]
Speaking of primal power, Ye Yinchuan had a hunch and did some research on it.
In this Pokémon world, those who know about Ancient Power are generally Rock-type Pokémon, and they can master it, so it is classified as a Rock-type move.
Since it was similar to his own understanding, Ye Yinchuan spoke directly:
"The Ancient Power is a very mysterious move. Although it's a Rock-type move, Pokémon of other types can actually use it as well. It's said to be a power possessed by ancient Pokémon, which many Pokémon have now forgotten."
"Using Ancient Power allows Pokémon to temporarily increase all of their abilities. In addition, Ancient Power has effects similar to Psychic, allowing for direct attacks or the control of objects to be thrown at opponents. Some even say that Ancient Power is a type of Psychic."
Ye Yinchuan had to admit that the Primal Force in the Pokémon world was somewhat different from the Primal Force in the games.
The former guarantees an improvement in ability, while the latter is probabilistic.
The game's animation shows the character directly using primal power to control rocks and smash them at enemies, which is probably one of the reasons why it's categorized as a Rock-type move.
In reality, primal forces can also control stones, but are not limited to stones.
However, most wild Pokémon still prefer to use rocks to unleash the power of Ancient Force!
[By the way, how did the streamer figure out that the Omanyte possessed Ancient Power?]
"I'm just speculating, after all, the probability of a high-level Omanyte possessing primal power is quite high."
[User "Nutritional Yarn" requests to connect with you!]
As soon as Ye Yinchuan saw the person in question arrive, he immediately answered the call and waited to get off work.
"Host, tell me, what method is it?"
The nutrition yarn was clearly quite excited.
He was carrying a portable breeding box containing an Omanyte. Since he planned to resell it, he naturally wouldn't bother to prepare a Poké Ball.
"It's simple, your Omanyte will evolve soon. If it evolves successfully, the price should double."
What? Omanyte can evolve?!
I looked it up, and it seems to be called Omanyte.
[Does the streamer know the evolution conditions for Omanyte?]
[666, Yarn Guy made a killing!]
"Really, bro! Then I'll save it for when it evolves!"
"Hmm. But I reckon it'll take at least a month, maybe even two, for it to heal and evolve. It depends on how many resources you're willing to invest. I can't guarantee it will evolve. It's just an opportunity; how you proceed is up to you."
Ye Yinchuan saw in the comments that some people didn't even know that Omanyte could evolve.
He speculated that it might be because ammonites are so rare that their evolved forms are even rarer.
After all, he had just checked the information and found information about Omanyte, which meant that some people did know about it.
As for the evolution conditions of Omanyte, there is indeed no information online, and the conditions are unclear.
But Ye Yinchuan knew that in the game, the condition for Omanyte to evolve was to reach level 40.
Of course, it's impossible to simply copy the game.
After investigation, it was found that Charmander's two evolutions occurred at around level 16 and level 36.
That is, it is consistent with the game's settings.
According to the game, Omanyte, which only has one evolutionary form, should evolve at level 40, and Ye Yinchuan remembers that there were no other additional conditions.
This Omanyte is already level 36, and it's not far from evolving!
But since it was just a hypothesis, Ye Yinchuan couldn't guarantee it, only saying it was an opportunity.
"Brother, I'll contact you again later. Could you give me some feedback?"
"Of course, of course."
As long as the gift arrives, that's fine.
Ye Yinchuan thought to himself, but ultimately didn't say it aloud.
That's all for today's live stream. Goodbye everyone, see you this afternoon and evening.
"No, bro, I'm still waiting for your appraisal!"
My roommate, like the ammonite, probably won't survive tonight. His last wish was to watch the streamer's livestream a little longer!
[Which streamer goes offline at midnight? I can't sleep if I don't see you streaming!]
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments and decided to end the broadcast.
Although there is still a lot of traffic after midnight, Ye Yinchuan doesn't want to trade his health for it.
Health is the foundation of everything, and live streaming is a long-term career.
"Kirby, come give me a hug!"
Having just finished his work, Ye Yinchuan approached Snorlax.
The latter also obediently came over, serving as Ye Yinchuan's large pillow and power bank—
Comfortable, warm, soft, stress-relieving...
Long hours of work can be physically and mentally exhausting, and you need a cute pet to soothe your body!
Some readers have expressed concern that the predictable Pokémon appraisal plot might become boring. I can only assure you that the live-streamed Pokémon appraisal is the main storyline and will not deviate from it. Interspersed throughout are lighthearted slice-of-life scenes, Pokémon interactions and training, and other non-linear moments. Later, the story will focus on raising a Munchlax and catching other Pokémon, gradually expanding the world-building. However, the Pokémon appraisal will remain the main theme; the title and synopsis both refer to it. It will guide readers through identifying different Pokémon, and the plot will be enriched within this framework. This week is crucial; please continue reading and vote!
