LRAB Chapter 393 An ordinary otter? No, what exactly are you?
Chapter 393 An ordinary otter? No, what exactly are you?
Chapter 393 An ordinary otter? No, who are you? Green algae head, or three arms?
After witnessing King Kong's superpowers firsthand, even the most incredulous viewers had no choice but to believe it.
As the camera zoomed in, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but scrutinize the Thunder King Kong, a creature imbued with Buddhist teachings, to see if it had any distinctive features in appearance.
It turned out to be true. First of all, the pupil color of this Thunder King Kong was actually a light gold, which gave it a very Buddhist and divine feel.
Secondly, normally, the Thunder King Kong has a vine-like fringe hanging down from its forehead, like a microphone. But this individual doesn't have a fringe fringe; instead, it has two vines extending from both sides and meeting in the middle, just like the headband on Sun Wukong's head...
Normally, the wild, fluffy hair of a gorilla would have some hair attached to its shoulders, but this particular gorilla's hair fell directly from its shoulders to its chest, connecting together, looking like a string of Buddhist prayer beads.
"It seems this Thunder King Kong has been deeply influenced by Buddhism!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but nod slightly in appreciation. Such a degree of postnatal shaping could be called a mutation without any exaggeration, after all, both appearance and ability had undergone visible changes.
Wow, that's so cool, bro!
[Interesting! Pokémon truly holds infinite possibilities!]
It's hard to imagine that the sliding tackle gorilla and the wooden fish-beating gorilla are the same species!
"Thanks……"
The person connected with the Thunder King Kong made eye contact. If the Thunder King Kong hadn't used his telekinesis to help him up, he would have fallen face-first into the mud, and his phone would have been smashed along with it.
The Thunder King Kong simply nodded and continued to strike his wooden fish.
At that moment, it seemed as if a surge of energy was released from the body of the Thunder King Kong Ape, causing the surrounding plants and trees to sway and glow with a vibrant life force.
"Host, what's going on now?"
Not only the viewers in the live chat were surprised, but the people connecting with the live stream were also quite astonished.
Ye Yinchuan didn't see anything unusual on the panel and could only guess:
"The Thunder King Kong's striking of the tree stump inherently possesses the power to make plants grow. This Thunder King Kong, influenced by Buddhism, has powerful spiritual strength... I guess it must have done a good deed, thus increasing its merit? Has its ability in this area become even stronger?"
[666, is this even possible?]
[The "add one merit" bonus is hilarious, hahaha!]
"Oh...I see."
The person on the other end scratched his head. In their Buddhist community, there was indeed such a concept as merit.
Next, Ye Yinchuan and the person connecting with the conversation started talking about the Thunder King Kong.
According to the person who provided the information, this gorilla grew up in their temple from a young age.
At first, when this rocking gorilla was still a gibbon, it was particularly mischievous and often caused trouble. Later, it caused a mess by breaking something valuable and was caught. They originally intended to punish it severely, but the abbot was kind-hearted and didn't pursue the matter. It was from that time that the gibbon began to become very human-like...
When the monks gave sermons, the children would listen attentively. At first, they were restless and uneasy, but gradually they were able to sit quietly for a whole day and even help the monks with their work.
After the old abbot passed away, the Thunder King Kong seemed to want to live a secluded life in the mountains, often alone, striking the wooden fish.
[Has he... seen through the illusions of the world?]
The old host was probably the biggest bond this thunderous gorilla had. It must be heartbroken to see him pass away!
Wow, this mighty gorilla suddenly seems so tender!
Ye Yinchuan nodded, surprised that there was such a story behind it. His expression became slightly solemn as a sign of respect...
This gorilla cannot be entirely attributed to the influence of Buddhism or the shaping of its environment. To some extent, it was also influenced by people, or so-called entanglements.
If it had only been in the temple environment without the abbot's tolerance and guidance, then the Angry King Kong might have gone down a completely different path after being punished for causing trouble.
So, looking back now, it's less about how the environment shaped the gorilla and more about how the old host shaped it. But the old host himself was also part of that environment...
But when Ye Yinchuan shared his reasoning with the interviewee, the interviewee suddenly understood and expressed deep agreement.
This concludes the video conference.
Simple identification and discussion, and appreciation of unique individual Pokémon...
"Okay, friends, do you have any other rare treasures you want to show off, or do you have any questions that need answering? Feel free to connect with the streamer... Priority will be given to the Grookey Monkey and Otter family!"
Ye Yinchuan has essentially made it clear that the theme of this live broadcast will guide the audience and provide him with more material.
@WaterOtter'sStinkyMouth: [Host, can you take a look at my water otter? It just hatched and is still warm!]
Seeing the enthusiastic response, Ye Yinchuan promptly approved the online application. Newly hatched Pokémon are highly malleable and have a lot of potential for training and development. Therefore, if problems are identified or some guidance can be provided, it would be of great significance.
Looking at the water otter on the live feed, Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up with admiration.
Like other starter Pokémon, Oshawott is a rather childlike Pokémon. Because it stands on two legs and has fair skin on its head and arms, it looks like a well-behaved child...
With its large, round, dark eyes, round nose, and freckles on its face, the water otter exudes a憨憨 (simple and honest) charm.
The water otter also has two black ears that look a bit like cat ears or horns. Its body fur is quite fluffy, as if it is wearing a light blue coat with a wavy collar. The seashell on its chest looks like a logo, which is very childlike.
Ye Yinchuan immediately noticed that although this otter looked no different from an ordinary otter on the surface, it actually had a potential unique feature!
"Host, could you please give me your opinion? What do you think of my otter?"
"That's what the person on the other end of the line asked."
[This doesn't seem like anything special, so let's not waste everyone's time on this kind of thing, okay?]
[Exactly, while I understand the desire to have your Pokémon featured on camera, every Pokémon that gets linked with Snorlax has its own unique characteristics.]
[Hmm... the streamer is very tolerant, but I hope everyone can still be a little more considerate!]
Seeing the reactions in the comments, Ye Yinchuan knew that they must have mistakenly thought that this otter was nothing special, but the truth was quite the opposite!
"Ordinary Pokémon can be appraised too! Besides, some seemingly ordinary Pokémon might actually have some special abilities hidden within them."
Ye Yinchuan hasn't forgotten his original intention. Although live streaming requires entertainment value, to a large extent, he still hopes to do something meaningful through live streaming, even if it's just helping ordinary people and ordinary Pokémon...
Instead of creating an invisible barrier that keeps the general public out, as some viewers might interpret it...
To put it bluntly, we cannot be detached from the masses!
"For example, this otter is quite extraordinary."
Ye Yinchuan's earlier statement both stated his position and served as a prelude to this particular sentence.
Well done, anchor! You haven't forgotten your roots!
[Laughs. If the livestream were just filled with ordinary Pokémon, do you think anyone would still watch?]
[It seems there's more to this otter story than meets the eye?]
[What explanation could there be? I've looked at it from every angle, zoomed in and out, but I still can't figure it out. The streamer can't just make a judgment out of thin air, can they?]
"Host, you really noticed? But... can this really be considered something that sets you apart?"
The man wasn't particularly confident about his otter.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan also gained some information: the person who contacted him had some understanding of his water otter situation, but not much knowledge.
"certainly."
Ye Yinchuan stopped keeping the audience in suspense and directly revealed what they wanted to know.
"What makes this otter unique is that it has a shell hidden in the fur on the left side of its neck, or rather, an extra shell has grown in that area."
Upon hearing this, the person on the live stream was shocked, and the comments section was filled with astonishment.
Sometimes, I feel like the streamers' livestreams are even more absurd than scripted!
[Dude, how did you even figure out that there were seashells hidden in its fur? You even pinpointed the exact location!]
Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? What's wrong with one more seashell?
"I can see you don't quite understand. There's nothing I can do. A thoroughbred horse like this needs a discerning eye like me."
Ye Yinchuan's lips curled slightly upward, his tone arrogant, even appearing smug and irritating to the audience...
Unfortunately, he had the right to be arrogant.
[Okay, how many times have I told you? If you don't understand, don't rush to yell. The streamer is just putting on airs again, isn't he?]
[I'm really fed up with this streamer. He can talk, but he can't. If he can't, I'm unfollowing him!]
Ye Yinchuan cleared his throat and carefully explained the situation.
"First of all, we need to clarify one point: the shell on the belly of the water otter is not from the outside, but is part of its own body, or rather, it is generated by a special organ, similar to our human fingernails..."
However, unlike other shells, the otter's shell, also known as a scallop, is detachable. It can be taken off and used as a weapon to slash enemies or cut through hard tree fruits...
Incidentally, water otters use hard stones on the beach to polish their scallop shells, just like we humans use whetstones…”
[After all that rambling, let me ask you this: even if this otter has an extra scallop shell on its neck, what's the use? Can it use dual swords like Shuangrenmaru?]
[It might really be a dual-wielding style... but even so, it just means it has an earlier start, unless it has a third hand?]
At this point, viewers in the live chat began speculating.
After seeing this, the person on the other end of the line couldn't help but respond:
"No way! After discovering this characteristic of my otter, I tried to get it to hold a scallop in each hand, but it's impossible. The scallops on its belly require both hands... The key is, its hands are too short; it can't reach the scallops on its neck at all!"
"Isn't that rendering it useless?"
Wait a minute, didn't you say it just hatched? You've already tested it?
"It was only shortly after the hatching process that I had the opportunity to become this talent scout."
Ye Yinchuan joked,
"Your idea is good, but is it possible that the scallop near this otter's neck wasn't actually held by it in the first place?"
[What a joke! If it's not handheld, are you expecting to pick it up with your mouth?]
"Hey, you're right, it's carried in your mouth. Have you ever heard of the Three-Sword Style?"
[Holy crap... now that you mention it, I can instantly picture it! Could it be that directionally challenged guy with the green hair?]
Wait a minute, what's going on here? Green algae head? Or is it some kind of King Kong?
[It still feels a bit abstract. Could the host explain it in more detail? How do you play with a fan-shaped toy using your mouth?]
Ye Yinchuan smiled knowingly when he saw that some people in the live chat understood.
"Let me put it this way, the Scallop is the weapon of the water otter. You can think of the water otter as a little swordsman... After evolving into the Twin Blade, it will become a dual-wielding swordsman..."
This water otter, unsurprisingly, was born with an extra scallop shell compared to other water otters. However, it could only carry this scallop shell in its mouth... Therefore, when it was still a water otter, it couldn't develop a normal dual-wielding style; it could only hold one scallop shell in each hand and another in its mouth...
Don't forget, the scallop shell you're holding in your mouth might not be very useful right now. Even at the Twin Blade stage, the scallop shell will be too small, resulting in insufficient attack range and making it seem rather useless...
But once it evolves into a Greatsword Demon, the scallop shells become foot blades, increasing in length significantly. Then, even while held in its mouth, it can effectively slash enemies, thus evolving into the legendary Three-Sword Style!
[I get it! The three-sword style means wielding two swords in each hand and holding another one in your mouth, essentially giving you an extra weapon!]
[Wow, following the streamer's logic, this is a late-game hero!]
Is it possible that, after evolution, the scalloped neck ornament will most likely disappear?
Ye Yinchuan also took another look at the brightly lit trait on the otter's stats panel—
[Trait: Neck Blade]
This otter has developed a scalloped appendage on its neck, capable of functioning as a normal scallop. This trait won't disappear with evolution, but its form will change over time!
Actually, this trait doesn't explicitly point to the Three-Sword Style. What Ye Yinchuan said was largely based on his personal deductions...
He was also wondering, since after evolving into Twinblade, it already had two scallops, what other possibilities were there for the scallop on its neck besides carrying it in its mouth?
You can't just grow an extra hand, can you?
Thinking of this, Ye Yinchuan had a sudden inspiration. In this Pokémon world, energy can be "shaped," so even Pokémon without hands can use moves like Fire Punch...
Theoretically speaking, it's not impossible for an otter to condense energy into a third hand.
Holy crap! Who are you?
A three-sword style swordsman, or a three-handed swordsman?
In Ye Yinchuan's mind, besides the man with the green algae-like hair, another figure suddenly appeared...
Flesh and blood are weak and feeble, while machinery soars to new heights!
