[I'm so envious! I wish I were there too, then I would have received the blessing of the Dream Demon!]
You have no idea how dangerous it would be without streamers!
The comments section remained focused on the discussion about the Dream Demon.
"Whether you encounter a dream demon and are cursed or blessed is hard to say. If you don't have that kind of luck, it's best not to even think about it."
Ye Yinchuan also offered words of comfort to the viewers in the live chat.
At the same time, he was also warning certain people not to try to mess with the Dream Demon.
Be careful not to lose control!
[Host, there's less than half an hour left, are you still going to connect?]
[A petition with 10,000 signatures pleads for the streamer to add more episodes!]
"Connect! Why aren't you connecting? This was an accident. We'll connect with one more person and then end the broadcast."
It is clear.
The connection with the Pokémon Center brought him a lot of attention.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that rare Pokémon like Misdreavus and Misdreavus are more attractive.
The number of viewers in the live stream has successfully exceeded 10,000.
It's rush hour now, the time when the crowds are at their largest.
Although Ye Yinchuan dislikes staying up late, he still wanted to seize this opportunity to complete the final live broadcast.
"This is the last live stream, so we'll randomly select one lucky viewer! Hurry up and apply; I'll close my eyes and count to three, then confirm!"
Ye Yinchuan plans to interact more with the viewers in the live stream.
[A new trick?]
It's time to test your luck!
"Three, two, one!"
Ye Yinchuan was also decisive and efficient, quickly finishing the countdown.
He opened his eyes and looked.
[You have approved user "Egg"'s connection request!]
[Connection successful!]
"Host, do you still recognize me?"
When a middle-aged bald man with a greasy smile appeared on the live feed.
Ye Yinchuan was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, I cursed inwardly, "What bad luck!"
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw this username.
He already had a vague sense of unease.
I just never expected that it would actually be this very egg!
"I don't recognize him."
This is an unscrupulous streamer who fools and even deceives the audience.
Ye Yinchuan didn't have much affection for him.
If it weren't for a random connection and you didn't receive a request from the other party, it wouldn't be appropriate to hang up immediately.
He has already said goodbye to the other party.
"Hehe, you really have a bad memory. Back then, I was still doing some silly things on my live stream when you appeared on camera, bought a Pokémon egg, and then quickly left."
"Back then, I didn't know you. I thought to myself, 'Why is this person buying eggs like this? Don't they even bother to pick them?' But now it seems you must have had a plan all along."
"Hey streamer, is that the Pokémon egg behind you the one you took with you back then?"
[Is there a story behind this?]
Wow, this person is also a streamer, with over 30,000 followers!
"I'm doing a live Pokémon appraisal. If you don't have any Pokémon to appraise, or if you have any Pokémon-related questions, I'll end the stream. I don't want to waste my viewers' time."
Ye Yinchuan showed no politeness whatsoever.
This caused Egg's smile to freeze, and his expression turned slightly gloomy.
He had originally heard that this new streamer was gaining followers very quickly and that her live stream content was explosive.
Upon closer inspection, I immediately recognized the person; I had met him offline before.
I just came to take a look, and I didn't expect to be connected online right away.
This made him somewhat want to ride the wave of popularity.
Although Dandan has more fans than Ye Yinchuan, she is far less active.
As long as you can ride the wave of popularity, you're making a profit.
"Yes, of course I am a streamer. You might not know, but I am a streamer..."
"I'm also a streamer. If you want to authenticate something, show me your treasure."
Ye Yinchuan gave Dandan almost no chance to talk nonsense.
At this moment, Dandan's fans must have flocked to Ye Yinchuan's live stream.
They started to stand up for Egg.
After all, it's my favorite streamer, and he has more fans than the other streamer.
They were naturally indignant at being treated so "rudely" by other streamers.
[Hey streamer, you've never even heard of Egg? He's practically your senior!]
[If you can get connected with Egg and gain some internet traffic, you might as well be nicer!]
Ye Yinchuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these fans.
It's so pitiful. She was sold by Dandan and now she has to help him count the money.
"Hey! Fans from our Egg Egg livestream, don't go causing trouble in other people's livestreams!"
I'm just a small streamer with 30,000 followers; it's normal that people don't know me. We'll just proceed with the authentication process normally, and that's fine. Let's not give people a reason to laugh at us.
Ye Yinchuan sneered inwardly as he watched Dandan's witty remarks.
Surprisingly, it turned out to be a tea egg!
Green tea bitches are despicable, but at least they have some looks or something.
This green tea old man is just disgusting.
However, Ye Yinchuan didn't want to waste any more time with the other party.
If the other party actually brings out a Pokémon, I'll just do a normal appraisal and then end the stream!
Therefore, no matter what Dandan or his fans say, Ye Yinchuan doesn't respond.
He also instructed the live stream administrators:
"Anyone who swears, provokes, or promotes other live streams in the live stream will be banned. Please be understanding, everyone, and don't let yourselves be used as pawns. Just ignore those who are an eyesore."
As soon as Ye Yinchuan said this, the barrage of comments that was about to erupt subsided.
"I never imagined that my first live stream with another host after leaving the company would be someone like this..."
Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself.
Although they had seen through Egg's deception of the audience and his trick of selling inferior eggs.
However, believing that it's better to avoid trouble, Ye Yinchuan didn't plan to do anything.
Unexpectedly, this egg came to us on its own.
If the other party is truly ungrateful, Ye Yinchuan wouldn't mind striking hard and teaching them a lesson.
It was just a small thing!
Egg narrowed his eyes slightly, not expecting this young man to be so unfriendly and act like a clueless fool.
However, when it comes to handling the situation in the live broadcast room, they are so skillful that no one can find any flaws.
Seeing this, Exeggcute also pushed forward a Pokémon egg:
"Hey streamer, I'm an egg-finding streamer. How about you help me identify an egg today? We don't need anything else, just to exchange egg-finding techniques."
Egg's lips curled up, and he said with an air of confidence.
[Won't the streamer be too afraid to accept the role?]
Some people are shouting that they don't even know what the ingredients are.
They're either fans of Egg or just looking for trouble.
"Okay. But you might not know my rules: when it comes to egg appraisal, I only appraise one occasionally. So our exchange will be limited to this."
Ye Yinchuan emphasized.
These are principles and bottom lines.
Once the egg is identified, the broadcast ends, and no one will say anything about it.
Egg's lips curled up imperceptibly, revealing a hint of malice.
He knew what the egg in his hand was, and that it was somewhat special.
He deliberately set a trap for Ye Yinchuan, wanting to break Ye's "undefeated" invincibility, while also using the opportunity to generate buzz and traffic for himself.
He had already prepared the script, even the marketing accounts and online trolls for the next day, in his mind during the video call with Ye Yinchuan.
The only fear is that Ye Yinchuan won't fall into the trap.
"You're too green to play with me. You'll suffer in silence later, and then you can learn your lesson! Today, your Uncle Egg is going to teach you a lesson!"
Egg sneered inwardly, but outwardly agreed:
"I understand, I understand. We streamers have to have some principles. Wait for me a moment, I'll get the eggs right away."
Ye Yinchuan remained silent.
Principles? What principles do you still have?
But then the egg walked out of the frame, presumably to be "prepared" for the identification.
[Host, do you really dislike eggs?]
At this moment, a commenter couldn't help but ask.
"These should be normal viewers," Ye Yinchuan responded.
"I only want to connect with regular viewers who are watching the live stream. I don't want to connect with the streamer. I'm not targeting anyone in particular."
[No problem, this egg took up our spot for the live stream. He really needs an authentication!]
I always felt he wasn't sincere...
At this moment, the location where the egg is is not a Pokémon egg store.
It was a live streaming room that he set up himself.
Because he only connected with Ye Yinchuan temporarily, his trap was also a spur-of-the-moment decision.
But he's done so many bad things that he's become so skilled at it that he can easily stir up trouble whenever he wants.
"Take these eggs and test his waters."
Egg came to a shelf.
These are all Pokémon eggs with beautiful colors and a great luster.
But don't be fooled by appearances.
Next to them were their original appearance: a deep purple color, a mixed texture, and a surface that seemed to emit a toxic fumes.
This is the stinky mud ball that many people fear.
Mischievous people are most afraid of mud balls.
Because getting a Mud Egg is basically a freebie, it has no value whatsoever.
Unless they have extraordinary talent.
In fact, mud balls are quite easy to identify in many situations.
But now there is a group of bad people who specialize in spreading false information through various channels and misleading the public.
The main reason is that most people rarely come into contact with mud-covered people and don't know much about them, so they are easily fooled.
They mistakenly believed that mud eggs were easily mixed in with blind box eggs.
But in reality, you can tell the difference between mud balls at a glance.
The reason they are easily confused is that some unscrupulous merchants bleach and recolor the mud balls, making them very deceptive.
Moreover, the merchants are very cunning. They use various different techniques to color the mud balls to ensure that consumers are fooled every time, and that each mud ball is different.
The egg market itself is a mixed bag.
Compared to some major scams, this kind of operation is small-scale and rarely receives adequate regulation.
This has led to the formation of this gray industry.
The chances of getting caught are very small; even if you do get caught, you'll at most be fined.
When the risk is far less than the reward, people will flock to it, even if it can't be called taking risks!
The streamer named Dandan was one of the participants.
Furthermore, by leveraging their status as livestreamers, they instilled the idea that "mischief carries risks" in consumers, allowing mud balls to run rampant in the market.
After some selection, I chose an egg that looked rather ordinary.
Things that are too good in condition actually look fake.
Soon, Egg picked up the smelly mud ball and placed it in front of the camera.
"Take a look at this egg."
Egg smiled.
He wanted to see just how capable this streamer really was.
When faced with these artificially counterfeited Pokémon eggs, even professional appraisers might make a mistake when examining them through a screen.
This is why many skilled appraisers are unwilling to do live streams.
Why would someone who makes a fortune by providing appraisals for wealthy people offline, or by ripping off unsuspecting customers, bother with something online?
Many people, whether they are bored or have ulterior motives, will deliberately come to cause trouble.
of course.
If done well, online live streaming can be quite profitable, but that's another matter.
at this time.
Dandan and his assistant in the live stream were both full of bad intentions, just waiting for Ye Yinchuan to fall into their trap.
"If he can't tell it's a mud ball, I'll slap him hard in the face. If he does recognize it as a mud ball, I can switch it out and disgust him."
Egg secretly plotted.
They were determined to smear yellow mud on Ye Yinchuan's crotch.
How could Ye Yinchuan not know that the smiling, greasy middle-aged man in front of him was a bad guy?
He was prepared to respond to any move.
But when he saw the egg, his expression froze, and he was slightly surprised.
"This is... a mud ball? Was it bleached and dyed?"
Ye Yinchuan could tell at a glance.
We can deduce the general situation at hand.
Through the panel of this stinky mud egg, Ye Yinchuan noticed something unusual.
He cleared his throat and began to comment:
"This egg is quite good."
"Ha ha!"
Egg couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Laugh with arrogance, laugh with confidence, laugh with strength!
He even smiled and revealed a large gold tooth.
"Kirby, your appraisal skills are pretty much what they are. You're just good at making things up and lying; it's all just luck."
Egg's true colors have been fully revealed.
"I just checked, and you don't even have an appraiser's certificate, yet you dare to come out and swindle people. You're quite something!"
no doubt.
Eggs showed a strong tendency to be aggressive.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the true intentions were revealed at the last minute.
What's going on? Is there something wrong with this egg?
[This guy seems to be a repeat offender; he specifically likes to mess with new streamers!]
[Are you kidding me? The Dream Protection Bureau and the Pokémon Center have both certified it, so who gave him the right to call it that?]
Got it, they're here to expose fakes again!
Looking at Egg's reaction and the comments on the screen.
Ye Yinchuan was frighteningly calm.
It's like watching a clown show that has nothing to do with you and is not funny at all.
What are you doing?
Ye Yinchuan only responded with three words.
Egg was stunned.
He hadn't expected the other person to have such a strong mental fortitude, remaining completely unfazed by his offensive.
"No wonder he's gaining followers so quickly, he's got something special."
In Dandan's eyes, there was even a hint of appreciation, a sense of mutual understanding.
Back when he first entered the live streaming industry, he was an honest man who diligently streamed and helped fans choose eggs, but he didn't have many fans and couldn't earn much money.
Later, after joining the union, I received guidance from an expert and, through my own hard work and perseverance, I finally completed the necessary training.
Although I'm just a small-time streamer now, I'm doing quite well and living a comfortable life.
Egg was a seasoned veteran and believed that Ye Yinchuan couldn't fool him.
"What did I do? I'm laughing at you for not even being able to tell the difference between a good and bad egg. In front of so many viewers in the live stream, do you dare to say it again, 'How's this egg?'"
"This egg is excellent, truly superb, a gem. There's just one minor issue..."
Upon hearing this, Dandan laughed even more unrestrainedly.
In the industry, "mud balls" are absolutely taboo.
If you encounter that, it's pretty much the worst-case scenario.
So when he heard Ye Yinchuan say that, he was almost certain that the other party hadn't realized that this was a stinky mud ball.
"Idiot! I don't think you understand at all! This egg is a stinky mud egg!"
Anyone who's ever caused trouble knows that encountering a mud ball is one of the worst things that can happen! You still dare to say this egg is alright? That's hilarious!
Egg mercilessly mocked.
Actually, he hadn't done any proper research when he first entered Ye Yinchuan's live stream room.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Yinchuan had just connected with the people at the Pokémon Center and provided excellent assistance.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so arrogant.
Seeing that Ye Yinchuan had no union, no qualifications or certificates, they thought he was an easy target to manipulate!
"Looking back now, you were just making a random choice. If I'm not mistaken, that egg behind you is probably weakened!"
【What? A mud ball? That's terrible!】
[No way, the streamer is very skilled, how could they be wrong!]
[You don't understand, even expert appraisers can make mistakes.]
"Oh? Did I say this egg wasn't a mud egg? I'd like to ask, since you know it's a mud egg, why did you come to me for identification?"
Are you just trying to make a fool of myself? Or are you deliberately picking a fight?
"this……"
Egg was somewhat speechless.
After a moment's thought, he retorted:
"I just wanted to test you, but you gave yourself away so easily. If you, a mere mud clown, can actually praise this, then you're completely misrepresenting yourself. Even for the sake of our fans, I have to expose your true colors today!"
What a brilliant example of calling a deer a horse!
Ye Yinchuan dropped the pretense and sneered:
"Some people deceive their fans by using tricks like substituting inferior goods for superior ones, and they even dare to raise a big flag and come to expose fakes?"
"How ridiculous! You keep saying you're doing this for your fans, but you're just selling them low-quality eggs, huh? I didn't want anything to do with you, but you came to my livestream to cause trouble. Today I'll show you what it means to ask for trouble and get it!"
Hearing Ye Yinchuan say this...
Egg's expression clearly showed a slight panic, but he tried to remain calm and said:
"Don't make false accusations! The blind boxes I sell to fans are all of good and bad, that's normal! But most of them are good."
Don't change the subject, explain the matter of that mud-dweller first.
At this point, the two sides had completely severed all ties.
Their respective fans got involved and the live stream chat erupted in a huge argument.
Ye Yinchuan remained calm.
He spoke calmly:
"You prove it's a mud puddle first, then I'll explain things clearly. Don't worry, everyone, I will give everyone an explanation today!"
[Support the streamer! I'm talking about Egg!]
[Egg Fans, get out of the livestream! We Kirby don't need proof!]
[You're asking for it, you little brat. Don't you know the streamer has connections with the Pokémon Center and the Dream Protection Bureau?]
[Even Young Master Long failed in his exposé, so what are you pretending for?]
Actually, the incident of Long Shao exposing Ye Yinchuan's fraud still garnered some attention.
But it was suppressed that very night.
The specific reason is unknown, but it is probably due to "money power".
It's said that buying trending topics and paying to remove them are commonplace for big internet celebrities, stars, and wealthy people.
Although online information seems readily available.
In reality, public opinion is easy to control. Most of the information we receive can only be obtained through push notifications, which has created an information cocoon.
In other words, you get to see whatever others want you to see.
Furthermore, the amount of information every day is simply too much.
With information flooding in, some things you see in the morning may be forgotten by the afternoon.
The same thing can be smeared or whitewashed at will, and ordinary people find it difficult to have accurate understanding and judgment based on that controlled information.
Ye Yinchuan wanted the other party to verify that it was a stinky mud egg first in order to prevent the other party from changing their story or replacing it with something else.
In that case, even if you reveal the test results, it won't prove anything, won't smack the other party, or it will be ineffective.
"Okay, we'll incubate it on-site!"
Full of confidence, Egg began the familiar process.
While waiting for the muddy egg to be placed into the incubation machine, the person in the video also responded to the comments section:
"To all my supporters, rest assured, I, Dandan, am intolerant of any dishonesty. I won't let some charlatans ruin the live streaming industry and destroy the market!"
"This egg is definitely a Grimer. Everyone knows that Grimer is smelly and poisonous, so nobody usually keeps it as a pet. Therefore, a Grimer is a bad egg!"
Watching Egg talk so eloquently.
Ye Yinchuan shook his head.
Are mud-covered people bad people?
That's biased!
After all, there are always exceptions.
As the saying goes—
The great road is fifty, the sky is four and nine, and people are one of them.
Even if they're rotten mud eggs, the vast majority of them aren't good eggs, but that's not necessarily true; there might not be one exception!
Perhaps it was just luck.
Perhaps even God isn't on this egg's side.
So much so that the muddy clown he randomly picked was a rare gem, one in a million!
"How is it?"
At this moment, the egg...
They are exchanging coded messages with the assistant operating the incubation machine.
If the egg is mistaken and hatches into something other than Mud, they can secretly change it to Mud!
Therefore, they are confident and invincible.
The assistant nodded.
Egg was relieved; there was no need for any underhanded dealings, it was all done easily!
As the incubation machine was turned on, the mud egg inside had hatched into a little mud.
The stinking mud looks like rotten mud, with unattractive eyes and mouth, and its body is mottled and purplish with dark stripes, making it look very unclean. In fact, it also contains various toxins and bacteria...
Ugh, that's disgusting!
[I can almost smell the stench through the screen!]
[What do you mean "good"? It's utter garbage!]
"How about it, Kirby? You still have the nerve to say this egg is good? I have a feeling it'll hatch into a rotten mess, and I'll have to throw this machine away. What bad luck!"
Egg smugly mocked.
Ye Yinchuan shook his head:
"Wrong, you're completely wrong. I said this stinky mud is top-notch, and it is top-notch."
The only downside is that it's just mud!
This statement came out.
Egg was stunned for a moment.
The comments section was filled with skepticism.
[Are you kidding me? What kind of amazing stuff could mud possibly have?]
[This thing is disgusting to even look at! Anyone who keeps me as a pet will laugh at them!]
"While not many people accept Grimer, there are still some who appreciate it."
It has its own advantages.
Grimer, with its Poison Hand ability, is the Poison-type Pokémon that every Poison-type trainer dreams of owning!
And this stinky mud... judging by its individual value, it's at least grade A.
In addition to its "poisonous hands" ability, it also possesses "stickiness," a unique dual ability found in almost every other species...
I'll just ask you, ask those who doubt me, isn't this kind of filthy mud a minor gem?
Faced with questioning.
Egg's face flushed slightly, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his bald head.
"You, you're kidding me? How could some random mud-covered bum I picked be this good?"
The live chat exploded:
【No? Dual characteristics? Then even if it's a lump of stinky slime, it's still top-quality stinky slime!】
Who says this stinky slime is no good? This stinky slime is fantastic!
[Really? I don't believe it unless you send me this stinky mud thing so I can try raising it!]
Completed 12,000 tests. Went for a physical exam this morning. Hadn't exercised much in a year and was diagnosed with fatty liver. Still waiting for other test results. Wishing everyone good health...
