Live Treasure Appraisal: Your Pokémon Can't Breed!

Chapter 44: A Steady Career? Pushing the Limits! Pokémon Training and Energy! (Please Follow and Support!)

The first thing Ye Yinchuan did upon waking up was check his earnings from last night's livestream.

Seeing the backend revenue display 1,897.5 yuan, he wasn't sure whether to be happy or concerned.

"It's already quite stable. No need to be greedy."

The slight disappointment he felt came from an expectation—since he had gained more influence points this time, his earnings should have been higher than last time.

But reality ruthlessly put him in his place.

His livestream relied on tips and donations, meaning the number of viewers didn't necessarily translate to direct income.

Although the entertainment value of his content played a role, ultimately, it depended on the viewers' moods.

"Some factors are out of my control. But I can control the quality of my streams. Most of my earnings come from my identification skills, so I consider it money earned through real ability."

Ye Yinchuan adjusted his mindset.

There was no point in worrying about what he couldn't control.

The best way to grow was to focus on improving the aspects within his power.

"Including yesterday afternoon's 2,300 yuan earnings, I made over 4,000 yuan in a single day!"

He wasn't contradicting himself.

Earning 4,000 yuan in a single day was already quite impressive.

The minor disappointment earlier was just human nature—when you start making money, you naturally want to make more.

This wasn't a bad thing; it was simply a normal desire for progress.

After all, people strive to move upward.

Checking his follower count, Ye Yinchuan found that he now had over 800 fans, a clear increase. The retention rate from recent livestreams was evident.

"If things continue like this, I might break 1,000 followers today! I heard that once a streamer reaches 1,000 followers, the platform provides a wave of significant exposure. If I can capitalize on it, I'll enter a more stable viewership pool."

During his earlier days in the streaming industry, Ye Yinchuan had flopped hard—his performance was miserable.

But after constantly absorbing knowledge and wanting to change his fate, he had thoroughly studied the platform's mechanics.

"This is the most critical period for new streamers. I must seize this opportunity. I'll stream twice daily and stay consistent with my schedule."

He made up his mind.

The "newcomer exposure period" was not permanent—it was the fastest route to rise for a fresh streamer.

Once labeled as "low potential," getting noticed again would be nearly impossible.

"Streaming has such a wide range of earnings. The floor is low, but the ceiling is extremely high. Right now, I've established myself, but my true potential…"

Ye Yinchuan was confident.

Even without the system, he would have climbed up step by step.

Now that he had the system, he had no excuse not to push forward.

Becoming a top-tier streamer, or even the number one Pokémon appraisal expert, was only a matter of time.

After confirming his earnings, he immediately withdrew his balance.

Looking at his growing bank account, he finally felt some financial security for the first time since his transmigration.

"I'll buy three days' worth of food for Little Snorlax first so I don't have to make daily trips to the post office. As for the remaining money…"

Ye Yinchuan glanced at his equipment. His computer and phone were old second-hand models from when he joined his previous streaming guild.

They barely handled basic streaming functions, and sometimes even searching for something online mid-stream would cause lag.

As for his mouse and keyboard, they were bargain-bin budget versions—not even entry-level, just purely cheap.

"I'll save the money for now."

After some thought, he realized that after buying food for Little Snorlax, he'd only have around 2,000 yuan left.

That wasn't enough for a high-quality computer, let alone an aesthetic and responsive setup.

Plus, once Little Snorlax leveled up and gained weight, he would have to register it at a Pokémon Center.

The registration fees and Poké Ball costs would be another unavoidable expense.

"Health is the foundation of everything. I can't just spend my days sitting at my computer streaming. I should use my mornings to train with Little Snorlax."

He began to strategize.

The system didn't provide physical enhancements, meaning he had to train his body the old-fashioned way.

The same applied to Little Snorlax.

The system granted "Super Influence", which could compensate for its low IVs, but training and development had to be done manually.

Even if he didn't plan to battle competitively, a Pokémon's strength directly affected its health and lifespan.

Besides, he wanted Little Snorlax to become truly powerful one day.

Of course, he wouldn't force it.

If Little Snorlax resisted training, he wouldn't push it.

Training Rule #1: Respect.

This meant respecting not just a Pokémon's personality and wishes, but also its attributes, abilities, and natural behaviors.

"Alright, Little Snorlax, let's go get breakfast."

Although he had ordered more Pokémon food yesterday, it hadn't arrived yet.

So for now, he'd just let Little Snorlax try some human food.

"Snor?"

Hearing "eat," Little Snorlax instantly perked up.

Ye Yinchuan glanced at his zero influence points and sighed.

His Influence Points drained way too fast—he had used all of yesterday's earnings in just eight minutes listening to Pokémon thoughts.

"This is like charging for five hours and only getting eight minutes of battery life."

At the breakfast stall, Ye Yinchuan ordered:

"Two meat buns, two iced soy milks, one bowl of tofu pudding, two steamed buns, and two fried dough sticks."

His "Dubai-style order" attracted attention.

At first, the stall owner thought he was buying for multiple people.

But seeing Little Snorlax behind him, everything made sense.

For a Pokémon like Snorlax, this amount of food was barely enough—it might even be too little.

Seated across from Little Snorlax, Ye Yinchuan watched as it grabbed a hot meat bun, ready to swallow it whole.

He quickly stopped it. "Careful, it's hot! Also, chew properly!"

"Snor…"

Little Snorlax hesitated, staring at the bun longingly.

Its status changed to: [Disappointed, Hungry, Impatient].

"If you eat food that's too hot, you might develop esophageal cancer! If you get sick, you won't be able to eat anything!"

Ye Yinchuan put on a serious face.

Although Snorlax could digest almost anything, he still treated it like a child and couldn't help nagging.

"Snor?!"

Hearing "can't eat anymore", Little Snorlax panicked.

Its status changed to: [Anxious, Hungry, Impatient].

"Wow, it really doesn't care as long as it can eat, huh?"

Ye Yinchuan smiled wryly.

After the bun cooled down a little, he finally let Snorlax eat it.

Under his supervision, Snorlax reluctantly chewed a couple of times before swallowing.

But soon, its eyes lit up.

"Snor?!"

For the first time, Snorlax realized that chewing food actually made it taste better!

Its status changed to: [Delighted, Hungry, Excited].

"What a silly yet adorable Pokémon."

Later that morning, at the sports field, Ye Yinchuan and Snorlax began their stamina training—long-distance running.

An hour later, Ye Yinchuan was soaked in sweat, while Little Snorlax lay flat on the ground, exhausted.

Lying beside it, staring at the sky, he felt a warm, floating sensation.

At that moment, he seemed to see tiny glowing particles merging with his body.

"This feeling… is this Pokémon Energy? Is this a unique benefit for humans in this world?"
