Chapter 159 On the Contrarian Trait! The First Encounter Was the Best! This Leveling Up Speed Is L
Chapter 159: On the "Contrarian" Trait! The First Encounter Was the Best! This Leveling Speed... Like Riding a Rocket?
"Alright, you should be fine now. Pokémon have strong recovery abilities, and with this special medicine, you'll probably be almost fully recovered by tomorrow."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Firefly was alright.
"You're quite rebellious, just like my Snivy."
The girl wanted to pet the fire-spotted cat, only to find that although the cat seemed weak and listless, it was incredibly good at dodging.
It's like it's running an auto-script, moving around and not letting you touch it.
"Rebellious? Just being arrogant!"
Ye Yinchuan reached out and petted the Fire-spotted Cat.
Firefly's first reaction was to hide, its eyes filled with disdain, as if to say, "Doesn't this great cat have any dignity?"
But the dependence on [Hand of Heaven] has become muscle memory.
My mind might not want it, but my body still does.
Meow~
The Fire-spotted Cat made a comfortable sound.
The vine snake beside him, though weak, revealed a disdainful expression.
Ye Yinchuan noticed this detail and couldn't help but want to laugh.
I never thought you'd end up like this, Sang Biao.
"So cute, Mimi!"
The girl's eyes sparkled, clearly showing her great enthusiasm for Litten.
"You can touch it now."
Ye Yinchuan encouraged them, while simultaneously negotiating with the Fire-Spotted Cat.
"Sang Biao, you don't want the girl who helped you heal to feel heartbroken, right?"
The Fire-spotted Cat was enjoying the caress of the Heavenly Hand, and it slightly opened its squinted eyes to take a look.
There was little resistance; it was tacit agreement.
The girl carefully touched the firefly's paw, stroking its paw pads, her face beaming with joy, as if she were the one being touched by a heavenly hand:
"It let me touch it! It let me touch it!"
The girl felt the cat's paw pads and the gaps between its claws, then touched its little paws, exploring the distribution of flesh and tissue through its glossy fur...
Her face was full of happiness.
Ye Yinchuan then noticed that the girl had fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on her not-too-high nose. Beneath her fluttering eyelashes were a pair of gentle eyes full of love. Both her double eyelids and the lines of her eyes were just the right amount of exquisiteness—all natural.
The image of Litten could be reflected in her pupils, adding a special atmosphere to her.
Dressed in white, clean and tidy.
Without excessive decoration, it is like a lotus flower emerging from clear water, refreshing and delightful.
If you look closely, you can see a resemblance to Dr. Bai in her eyes and brows.
Sensing Ye Yinchuan's gaze, the girl turned to meet his eyes.
She was so focused on Flame Cat's injuries that she didn't notice the boy in front of her, who actually had a bit of Louis Koo's "white" vibe.
He has fair skin, but isn't effeminate; he has regular features and clear eyes.
Because of his young age and the feedback from the spirit energy, even though Ye Yinchuan sits in front of the live broadcast camera for hours every day, he doesn't have any skin problems or mental depression.
On the contrary, his career is going smoothly, he is in high spirits, he is in good health, and he is full of energy.
Sometimes, being handsome is a feeling.
Especially between the opposite sexes, they can often judge a person's charm at first glance.
The girl smiled gently.
Ye Yinchuan also restrained himself, no longer staring directly at her.
He had to admit that he felt a strong liking for her at that moment.
She's different from the beautiful women I see online, even those I meet in live streams.
Through this genuine interaction, you experience a vibrant person, a beautiful girl.
Ye Yinchuan was also well aware of this.
The first meeting between people is always a pleasant one, because everyone is wearing a respectable facade.
But some qualities cannot be acted out.
For example, his concern for injured Pokémon, his love for Litten after meeting it, and his politeness and gentleness towards others are all reflected in his words and actions.
Even if someone can act, there will be traces; it won't be as natural.
Ye Yinchuan wasn't someone who was blinded by lust; he viewed girls with a bit of good looks through a lens of idealism, so he trusted his instincts.
"Is this Litten really yours? The injuries it sustained were terrifying. Even stray Pokémon rarely get injured like that."
The girl broke the brief silence.
Her eyes held a great deal of curiosity about Ye Yinchuan.
Regarding this fire-spotted cat, and why it was able to "control" the Snivy so easily.
As the owner of Snivy, she never imagined that Snivy would be so... obedient?
"It's my pet. I just brought it home a couple of days ago. It was my oversight that caused it to suffer."
Ye Yinchuan thought for a moment, but since it was inappropriate to say that the injury was sustained during training, he could only resort to a roundabout way of speaking.
After all, how much training does one need to train to get injured like this?
"Ah... then you don't need to blame yourself too much. Pokémon that used to wander were used to freedom and it was easy for them to sneak away."
The girl automatically assumed that Litten had run off and fought with other stray Pokémon, which was why it was so badly injured.
"Mimi, you're being naughty! You'll only hurt yourself this way!"
"Meow meow meow?"
Firefly Cat typed two question marks.
First of all, my name is Sang Biao, so why do people always like to call me Mimi?
Second, how am I being naughty? You evil human, tell the truth, meow!
Ye Yinchuan: Since you're not called Mimi, what business is it of yours if Mimi is naughty?
For confidentiality reasons.
Ye Yinchuan decided to remain silent, neither admitting nor denying...
"By the way, isn't Dr. Bai here?"
"Dad took some chrysanthemum leaves back to visit his relatives."
The "parents" the girl referred to were Chicory's parents.
Although many Pokémon are hatched from eggs and never see their parents after birth.
However, there is another situation.
After hatching, they are raised by their biological parents for a period of time.
This way, Pokémon can grow better and learn some skills from their parents.
In general, certain conditions need to be met for this to happen.
For example, the business provides this service, or the Pokémon that the parents raise are raised by themselves or people they know.
"Dad, you really are Dr. Bai's daughter. I just looked at you and said you looked a bit like him."
Ye Yinchuan smiled.
This also cleverly explains why he was looking at that girl earlier.
To avoid being misunderstood as being greedy.
"Yes, my name is Bai Zhi. What about you? It's so late, and you're still running to the clinic for this child. You're really working hard."
Bai Zhi responded.
Now, in her eyes, Ye Yinchuan is a warm-hearted guy who adopted a troublesome stray Pokémon, and then had to rush to the clinic in the middle of the night because the stray Pokémon ran away and got injured in a fight.
Running around during the time when they should be sleeping, all for their Pokémon!
"Meow?"
Firefly has something to say.
I just hate that I can't speak human language!
But Ye Yinchuan secretly applied force to it, making it feel comfortable and limp.
Shut up, Sang Biao!
At this moment, the two were connected because of Litten.
Although it was our first meeting, we stood very close to each other without it feeling awkward.
Let's pet the cats together, doesn't that make sense?
"My name is Ye Yinchuan. I've been to your Caoye Clinic before. Someone had a heart attack, and your father was very kind; he ran out to help without even closing the door. Dr. Bai is truly a very good person."
"It's not exactly hard work, since it's mainly my fault. It's you, a young woman, working so late at the clinic, that's really hard work."
Ye Yinchuan was also efficient and didn't miss any of the other party's questions.
She also mentioned her shared experiences with Dr. Bai, giving him a compliment.
However, Dr. Bai is indeed warm-hearted and responsible.
If he hadn't come with the chrysanthemum leaves last time, the owner of Dudu Inn might have been in real danger.
"Oh, it's you!"
Bai Zhi exclaimed in surprise, her gaze towards Ye Yinchuan now filled with even more affection.
"I've heard Dad mention you. He said there's a really enthusiastic young man who's very friendly towards Pokémon and knows a lot about them. I remember you're a live streamer, right? Nice to meet you! Unfortunately, Dad's not here. If no one's at the clinic, someone like you would have to go to a Pokémon Hospital or Pokémon Center, which are much farther away."
Their conversation gradually became more lively and engaging.
"Yes, I stream full-time. I love Pokémon and reading Pokémon-related books. When I stream, I check on my viewers' Pokémon and sometimes help them solve problems. I feel a great sense of accomplishment."
"Wow! No wonder you're so amazing, you must have figured out the problem with my Snivy! By the way, your little Munchlax... I remember Munchlax has a huge appetite and eats a lot every day, right?"
"Haha...Speaking of which, I found my little Snorlax on the street. I didn't do well on my streams before, so I didn't earn much money and it was always hungry, almost becoming skin and bones. Your Snivy is indeed a bit rebellious, but it's also simple-minded. If you want it to do something, just do the opposite, and that will control it."
Upon learning that Munchlax had once been a stray Pokémon, Bai Zhi's goodwill and impression of Ye Yinchuan deepened once again.
She was certain that Munchlax had a huge appetite, and the daily food cost, even the lowest level, would be an unbearable expense for an ordinary person.
Looking at Ye Yinchuan, his clothes were actually very simple, and even his mobile phone was a model from several years ago, with a screen that had turned yellowish from age...
In an instant, the image of a person who loves Pokémon, gives home to stray Pokémon, and sacrifices their own living conditions immediately comes to mind.
Although Ye Yinchuan sounded relaxed, Bai Zhi knew he must have endured a great deal of bitterness behind it.
Bai Zhi had a general idea of what the vine snake was about.
It seems that Ye Yinchuan did the opposite, which is why Tengteng Snake exerted so much effort just now.
However, she still had questions:
"Why is my Snivy acting like this? This kid seems to have started showing this personality not long after hatching, and it's becoming more and more obvious... At first, it wouldn't listen to commands, and later, it would do the opposite of whatever you said. It's very rebellious, and it's driving me crazy!"
As she spoke, Bai Zhi puffed out her cheeks and made a sulky expression.
You know, with a young girl's abundant collagen and fair, rosy complexion, making such an expression is incredibly cute.
The key point is that Angelica dahurica is not pretentious, but rather an expression of genuine emotion.
"Hmm... that's because your Snivy personality is rather stubborn, and you also have a rather unique contrarian tendency."
"sing a different tune?"
Bai Zhi's eyes widened slightly; it was the first time she had ever heard such a term.
"We must be getting tired standing here. Why don't we sit over there for a while? I'll get you a glass of water."
Ye Yinchuan nodded in agreement with Bai Zhi's suggestion:
"No need for water, I'll just sit for a bit and then leave, it's getting late."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
As Bai Zhi spoke, she still filled two glasses with warm water.
He sat down next to Ye Yinchuan and put one hand on Fire Spotted Cat.
At that moment, her face flushed, and she realized that the two of them seemed to be closer than before.
Because at first they were standing, now they are sitting.
Meanwhile, Firefly was being held on Ye Yinchuan's lap...
But Bai Zhi wasn't bothered by it, because she had a good feeling about this boy, and there was no conflict between them, either physically or psychologically.
Like I said, what's wrong with petting a cat and chatting for a bit?
Ye Yinchuan had a similar idea.
What era are we living in? It's not the Qing Dynasty anymore...
Although it was just the two of them, alone together, getting so close on their first meeting did seem to suggest something more...
But at least Grass Leaf Clinic is an open business, so it's not like being alone in a room!
Because of excessive energy consumption, the pale vine snake was also pulled closer by Bai Zhi.
I poured some nutrient solution on it to replenish its deficiencies.
The vine snake seemed to be exhausted from all the torment. It was now leaning against Bai Zhi's leg, resting its chin on her thigh, looking like a pitiful little dog.
Ye Yinchuan's gaze was also drawn to it; this wisteria snake was so white.
"Contrarianism is a kind of hidden ability of Snivy. Besides affecting the Pokémon's nature, it also has a special effect: some negative effects it receives can be reversed into positive ones. However, positive effects can also be reversed into negative ones..."
Ye Yinchuan answered all of Bai Zhi's questions without reservation.
"Huh? This is so weird!"
"Haha... It's quite idealistic, and I also find it incredible, but that's the truth. It's probably because the Pokémon's personality and spirit are too prominent, causing some energies and rules to be distorted as a result."
For example, the "staring" move, if mastered, will release special energy that will frighten the opponent and affect their actions.
But if it were you, this vine snake, you wouldn't be afraid at all; in fact, you'd become brave because of it... It's like, if you want me to go east, I'll go west instead.
This is no longer something I can control; it has become completely instinctive.
Ye Yinchuan explained based on the information on the panel, and added:
"If I understand correctly, that's how it should be. After all, this characteristic is so rare; I've only seen snippets of it in some books."
Bai Zhi nodded: "Thank you, you're already very impressive. I've never even heard of this kind of trait before. I initially thought this child had no special abilities. It seems that if this trait is used properly, it can be quite powerful."
It's clear that Bai Zhi has a certain understanding of Pokémon.
After all, their family runs a Pokémon clinic, so they certainly don't lack related knowledge.
"By the way, it is indeed getting late. You were in such a hurry to leave because you needed to go back and rest, right? Although I really wanted someone to keep me company, I just couldn't control myself. I hope you don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to get rid of you."
Hearing Bai Zhi say this, Ye Yinchuan was moved. She was such a straightforward, frank, and understanding girl.
For a fleeting moment, he also wanted to stay a little longer.
But reason prevailed over desire.
He had promised to take Feebas to the swimming pool tomorrow, and even though Litten and Munchlax hadn't recovered yet, he couldn't go back on his word.
Not to mention, there's also the important live streaming business.
"Yes, let's talk again another time."
Ye Yinchuan's decisiveness left Bai Zhi slightly disappointed.
This young man didn't hesitate at all.
But the next moment, Ye Yinchuan handed her his phone, which made her heart skip a beat.
"Let's add each other on Weibo, I'd like to get to know each other."
"good!"
Bai Zhi tossed a strand of hair and added Ye Yinchuan's Weibo account.
"Oh, right, I need to buy more wound medicine and bandages, the best kind, please. Also, how much did it cost today? You didn't ask me for it, I almost forgot."
Before leaving, Ye Yinchuan paid for the treatment of the Fire-spotted Cat.
They also purchased some medical supplies for future use.
Learn from your mistakes and prepare in advance so that you won't be caught off guard when you get injured during training next time.
For anything else you need later, you can buy it online; it's cheaper that way.
"Goodbye Mimi, goodbye Munchlax!"
"It likes people calling it Sang Biao."
After leaving the Leaf Clinic, I picked up Litten and checked to make sure Snorlax had caught up.
Ye Yinchuan's feelings were somewhat complicated.
"Angelica dahurica..."
A smile appeared on his face, as if the desolation of the quiet night had nothing to do with him.
I met a nice person today, and they were of the opposite sex.
Ye Yinchuan's social circle was very narrow, especially in the past, as evidenced by the fact that even his neighbors didn't recognize him.
Even though I knew about this Grass Leaf Clinic, I hadn't been there many times.
It was thanks to Firefly that he and Bai Zhi met.
In short, even if you're just friends with similar interests, you can still have a great time.
Besides needing to go back and rest as soon as possible, I also have things to do tomorrow.
Ye Yinchuan left decisively, and there was actually another reason.
That is the encounter between people. The first meeting is certainly the most beautiful, but we should not be too greedy.
Because enthusiasm comes and goes quickly, leaving some room for maneuver actually makes it last longer.
Not to mention, there's a little psychological trick here.
That means whether it's chatting or dating, ending the conversation when the mood is at its peak and starts to cool down slightly is just right.
That way, people will feel unsatisfied and look forward to the next encounter.
That kind of silly, endless chatting until you run out of things to say, and then losing interest and having no expectation for the next contact, is just awful!
However, this is also a common pitfall for many straight men or those new to dating.
Go back, wash up, and go to sleep. You'll have a peaceful night.
When Ye Yinchuan woke up again, he was full of energy. He immediately opened the chat box on Bobo, only to find that he and Bai Zhi hadn't had much of a chat since they became friends yesterday.
After a few brief pleasantries, the conversation ended with the excuse that "I need to help Munchlax wash up and get ready for bed."
"I forgot to mention yesterday that it was a pleasure to meet you, and I enjoyed chatting with you. Thank you for your help."
Ye Yinchuan took the initiative to send a message to the other party.
Bai Zhi did not reply.
Ye Yinchuan estimated that the other party didn't get off work until 3 a.m.
I'll go back and wash up, and it'll probably be almost four o'clock by then, so it's impossible for me to wake up as early as I do.
He didn't pay any attention, put down his phone, and started a new day.
Because [Shadow of the Overlord] was used yesterday, Ye Yinchuan was looking forward to seeing how Munchlax and Litten recovered and how they would improve.
"Huh? It's already recovered?"
Ye Yinchuan was pleasantly surprised when he saw the stats of Litten and Munchlax.
The status effect of "Shadow of the Overlord" on the panel has disappeared.
Moreover, significant changes have occurred.
If you look closely, you'll see that the injuries on Litten and Munchlax have also healed.
[The Gluttonous Pokémon: Munchlax]
[Level: 10 → 15]
[New moves: Craving, Bite]
……
【Fire Cat Pokémon: Litten】
[Level: 8 → 14]
[New moves: Roar, Wild Scratches]
……
"What the hell!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes widened, revealing his delight.
This upgrade speed is too fast!
In just one night, he leveled up by almost half?
You should know that, according to my previous training rhythm...
Even at a low level, it's possible to level up in two or three days, or even a week.
Unless you train to the extreme every day like that wrist strength, you might be able to level up a few times a week.
But no matter what, it's impossible to jump four or five levels in one night like this.
The speed of this upgrade is so fast, it's no exaggeration to say it's like riding a rocket.
No wonder the injury healed so quickly.
They've leveled up so many times; they must have absorbed a lot of spirit energy.
Healing injuries is a piece of cake!
"Is this the effect of the Overlord's Shadow? They've even mastered two new moves!"
Ye Yinchuan's eyes were filled with a sense of accomplishment, and his joy was palpable.
"But now that I'm fully recovered, doesn't that mean I can continue training with the Overlord's Shadow today?"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
The only slightly troublesome thing is that he only has a few tens of thousands of influence points left.
In this situation, the points are running out, which is hindering the speed at which our strength is improving!
Don't forget to consider that Ye Yinchuan should keep some points on him so that he can use [Heart of Listening] and [Heavenly Hand] remotely at any time!
"No rush. With the effects of the Overlord's Shadow being so powerful, I don't need to rush for even a day or two. Becoming a professional trainer is a sure thing for me, something easily within my grasp!"
Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a little "inflated" with pride.
There was no way around it; his strength had increased too quickly. In the past, he would never have dared to think about these things.
"Getting ready to leave."
Snorlax and Litten are fast asleep.
The rapid upgrade overnight left them feeling quite comfortable, albeit somewhat dazed.
This is also conceivable.
Ye Yinchuan felt comfortable even with the slightest improvement from absorbing the spirit's energy.
Such a rapid upgrade, wouldn't that be awesome?
If it's a dream, I don't even know what kind of dream it is.
"It's almost time, time to get up!"
Ye Yinchuan forced the two Pokémon to power on.
When they heard that Ye Yinchuan was going to take them out, the two Pokémon were slightly flustered.
Although the Shadow of the Overlord is very powerful, the torture process is extremely painful.
It's like if you work and make a lot of money and feel great, you'll definitely go back to work, but if you actually have to work, you'll instinctively resist.
Many things follow a similar principle.
"Don't worry! You're all getting a day off today, unlike yesterday..."
Ye Yinchuan explained helplessly that it was to reduce the pressure on the two Pokémon.
Both Litten and Munchlax seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself, "Even if you wanted to, I don't have that much to lose. Let's see if we have a chance to torture Ugly Fish today!"
"Ooh..."
Ugly Fish was very happy to hear that Ye Yinchuan was going to take her out to play.
It swam around for a bit, blew a few bubbles in the water, and looked carefree...
But at this point, it clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem!
Sorry for the late update. Let me explain the update time. For a long time, I tried to update at 12 AM and 6 PM. I've been updating intensively for a month, which is a bit tiring. Plus, the results are good, so there's some pressure. I also wanted to polish the plot and didn't want to rush and release something I wasn't satisfied with. This part involves a new romantic subplot, and writing it hastily might make it awkward, so I put more thought into it. Regarding the question about the timeline, I've already laid the groundwork, and the character level has increased rapidly. After the Ugly Fish training storyline ends, I'll return to livestreaming, and there will be progress in both time and strength. However, considering the stability of the framework, I'll be cautious to avoid pushing forward just for the sake of pushing forward. While a high-quality update is expected, I'm definitely not being arrogant! Thank you all for your support! I haven't even eaten yet... By the way, I have 850 monthly votes, 150 short. It seems there's no double vote at the end of the month, so I wonder if there's any hope. I'm setting a goal: if I get 1000 monthly votes, I'll add 20,000 words to the regular updates next month! And... let me also explain that because I have other books, which are 6,000 words a day, the workload is a bit bigger than you might imagine. I'm not trying to play the victim; after all, I'm just trying to make money. I'm just explaining the update schedule!
