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

Chapter 31 A useless Meowth with no special abilities? Wrong! Its abilities are excellent, you just

Chapter 31 A Useless Meowth with No Special Abilities? Wrong! Its special abilities are excellent, you just can't see them! (Please read on!)

Ye Yinchuan's gaze was fixed on the cat.

Although the app's reading speed is actually very fast, it's still necessary to put on a show in front of so many viewers in the live stream.

As for the last identification of green caterpillars, there were simply too many of them.

Using the "Light Speed ​​Identification Technique" occasionally is fine, but using it every day is too outrageous and will attract unwanted attention.

On the other hand, Ye Yinchuan himself also has a strong interest in Pokémon.

Observing the appearance and form of Pokémon is a pleasing thing for him.

This kitten is currently curled up in its incubator, not in a very relaxed position, clearly due to stress and alertness caused by the changing environment.

Meowth is a Pokémon named Yokai Cat, which has a similar appearance and characteristics to ordinary felines.

The reason they are called monster cats is because some cats can walk on two legs like humans and possess extremely high intelligence.

There are even legends of talking cats.

Of all Pokémon, only Meowth has had such a rumor.

A creature that looks like a cat, can walk upright, and can speak human language—isn't that a monster cat?

Generally speaking, a cat's fur is light yellow to white, with only the outer edge of its ears being black, the inside of its ears, and the tips of its paws and tail being light brown.

Of course, there are some differences between individual cats.

For example, some cats have light brown markings on their forelimbs, making them look like they're wearing brown gloves.

Those cats, also known as "brown gloves," are of particularly good quality and have a higher collectible value.

As for some cats, the brown parts may be very irregular, or even have some spots, which will cause their appearance to plummet. Generally, these cats have a high probability of being abandoned.

In this respect, it is very similar to a pet cat.

Viewing Pokémon as partners is a genuine sentiment shared by most people in this world.

However, it cannot be ignored that before becoming partners, Pokémon are more like pets, and before finding a master, they are even sold as commodities.

Just like when people look for a partner, they consider looks, and when they have a child, they care about whether the child is cute or not.

As the saying goes, "everyone has a love for beauty." There may be exceptions, but that's just human nature.

However, after taking a look, Ye Yinchuan concluded that while the cat's appearance wasn't top-tier, it was definitely fine.

It is not damaged.

On its oval face, there is a large gold coin on its head, four cat whiskers, and two "antennae" on its forehead. It has a mouth with a natural smile, two small tiger teeth that are faintly visible, and plump cat paws that look like "mangosteen meat".

She was truly pitiful to behold.

Looking at the meow, Ye Yinchuan's eyes softened. How could such an adorable Pokémon become a victim of irresponsible merchants and customers shifting blame to each other?

The anchor's eyes are so gentle!

[Gentleness is definitely a killer move; even I, a guy, was moved.]

[Host, let us see Meow Meow!]

"Uh, sorry."

Ye Yinchuan then noticed that the phone was pointed at his plain-looking face, which resembled Louis Koo's.

"Boss, could you please take this picture and include the cat in it too?"

Ye Yinchuan asked the innkeeper to help him get his phone so that viewers in the live stream could have a better viewing experience.

"Guys, just tell me what kind of shots you want to see. I watch so many live streams, I'll try my hand at being the live stream host today!"

The boss got his phone and, seeing the barrage of comments scrolling by, couldn't help but get excited.

As an ordinary person, I don't usually have the opportunity to interact with so many people or receive so much attention.

[6666, boss, give Meow Meow a few close-up shots!]

That's not stage management, that's more like assistant broadcaster.

[Assistant broadcaster? Completely wrong! It's a phone stand! Boss, shut up, you're interfering with the broadcaster's assessment!]

"I call you brothers, and you call me a phone stand?"

The boss was so angry he laughed. "Fine, fine, I won't say anything!"

At the same time, the boss also realized that not just anyone can be a live streamer.

Some netizens are so mean, I can't handle it at all!

He looked at Ye Yinchuan, thinking that someone who could attract a following must have something special about them.

[This kitten looks perfectly fine, why was it abandoned?]

Is he/she really that bad-tempered?

[So cute, I want a dozen!]

[Why is the host taking so long to look at this? Is the problem serious?]

"Don't get me wrong, I was just admiring it. It's a pity this cat is too wary, otherwise I really wanted to pet it."

Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments and replied, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this cat."

High EQ: No big problem! Low EQ: Big problem!

[Laughable, even the streamer doesn't dare to touch it, isn't that enough to illustrate the point?]

[Host, I'm in a hurry, can you explain it to me carefully?]

Upon seeing the last comment, Ye Yinchuan almost spat out his drink: "King Gigi, you're always the most impatient! Also, what you said is easily misinterpreted!"

After speaking, Ye Yinchuan looked at the boss: "Did the original owner say why they abandoned it?"

[Got it, the streamer's assessment failed, he's trying to get information out of the boss!]

I came here specifically because I saw the video, so please don't let me down, streamer!

"The original owner said that this cat doesn't seem to have any special characteristics. It's been released for several days, and apart from playing with marbles, it hasn't brought anything back."

The owner recalled, "I don't understand cats, so I don't know whether to abandon them or not?"

Wait a minute, don't all Meowths have the ability to pick up loot?

[Turns out it was a useless cat, no wonder it was abandoned!]

[Hey, I've heard some people specifically buy kittens, keeping those with the retrieval ability and abandoning the others. What if one day it brings back gold or jewels? They'll make a fortune!]

I've heard there are also Meowths with combat abilities, but I've never seen one. Have any of you seen one?

Only Meowths with the Fetch ability have a chance to learn the Treasure Hunt skill!

[Could it be that she's too nervous about moving to a new home, or that she's too young to show it yet?]

Looking at the heated discussion in the live chat, Ye Yinchuan seemed to be deep in thought.

Sure enough, in this Pokémon world, people's understanding of Meowth is still limited to its non-combat functions such as "picking up" and "collecting treasures".

Since they can't see the control panel, their knowledge of Pokémon relies solely on experience and trial and error.

Even if someone studies it specifically, with so many Pokémon and so many abilities, there will always be omissions.

As far as he knows, in the Pokémon games, Meowth's regular abilities, besides "Collect", also include "Trick Master".

There is also a hidden characteristic: "tension".

As for whether the Pokémon world fully conforms to this, Ye Yinchuan cannot confirm it yet.

However, he was certain that this cat was definitely not without special characteristics.

Neither the seller nor the person who abandoned it noticed its unique characteristics, or rather, they had no knowledge of them at all!

"This cat definitely doesn't have the Fetch ability."

Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, the boss's eyes showed a slight disappointment. So, it meant no special characteristics?

According to the comments, this is a substandard cat, only slightly more valuable than a regular house cat.

"But it's definitely not without its own unique traits, nor is it a useless cat. On the contrary, it has some excellent traits, and if properly bred, it has great potential. It's just that many people can't see that!"

Ye Yinchuan then changed the subject.

He disagreed with some of the comments that called him a "useless cat".

"Furthermore, I must emphasize one point. In the streamer's view, a Pokémon's value is never entirely determined by its Individual Values ​​(IVs) or Abilities. Even if it truly has no Abilities, it's still a cute, everyday Pokémon that can provide companionship to lonely people. How can it be called a 'useless cat'?"

As he said this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but look at the little Munchlax with a warm gaze.

"My little Kirby was found on the street. Maybe he was once seen as 'useless' or even 'a burden' by others. But now, he is my family, my treasure!"

"Click!"

Upon hearing the keywords "Snorlax" and "family," Snorlax's ears twitched, and it quietly took two steps forward.

As for "treasure," that word is too complicated; it doesn't understand it.

The little Snorlax didn't want to disturb its owner's work, but it also wanted to get closer to its owner!

Even the cat in the incubator raised its head, its gaze towards Ye Yinchuan less wary.

Meowth is highly intelligent and perceptive, and can keenly sense the love and kindness that Pokémon have for themselves!

Some people say that other regional forms of Meowth are not bad, but since Galarian Ponyta was just released, to avoid reading fatigue, it will not be released for the time being, but there will be plans for it later.
