How's Chapter 33? Does Father look handsome in this outfit?

Pewter City, Pewter Gym.

Xiao Gang hung up the live stream and watched his younger siblings patting their bellies contentedly, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

He had just finished clearing the dishes when his phone started vibrating incessantly, with notification sounds ringing incessantly. Just as he was about to check it, his younger brother's excited voice rang out from beside him.

"Bro, a lot of trainers have come outside! They want to challenge you!"

Xiao Gang was taken aback, then put down his phone, threw off his pink apron, and strode outside.

A deep, powerful voice echoed through the dojo's corridor.

"Challenger! State your name!"

……

Bai Zhou slumped on the sofa, mechanically scrolling through chat group messages, lurking and spying on the screen.

His thoughts, however, had already drifted to the semi-transparent system pop-up window that only he could see.

"Little A Assistant reminds you: The impact of the Contractor's actions has been detected, with a large number of individuals generating positive feedback. Statistics are currently being compiled and analyzed. Please wait..."

"Little A Assistant reminds you: Calculation Notes: The same type of positive feedback generated by the same individual will reduce the BP point acquisition ratio to some extent."

"Little A Assistant reminds you: The live stream campaign garnered a total of 3008.6 BP points, and the predicted subsequent impact could yield a total of 4106.11 BP points."

At first glance, the 3000+ BP gain seemed like a lot, but it didn't meet Bai Zhou's expectations. He couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter a complaint to himself.

"The highest contribution a viewer made in a single live stream was only 0.1 BP points? That's less than what Red contributes in a single game... Honestly, you didn't take a kickback from me, did you?"

It wasn't that he was greedy.

Indirectly triggered, especially large-scale, repeated positive feedback, has a pitifully low conversion rate.

This live stream seems to have benefited from the initial exposure, and it will only become increasingly difficult to quickly acquire BP (Ban/Pick) content using similar methods in the future.

With his get-rich-quick dreams shattered, Bai Zhou became carefree and stopped dwelling on it.

He glanced at Gastly, who was fast asleep in the bedroom, and stretched.

Gastly put in a lot of effort during this live stream, so it's time to reward it properly.

With this thought in mind, I silently recited it.

Little Ah, open the store.

The online store is now open.

"BP points: 3126.6"

"Bicycles: 100 million BP points (If you have bicycle vouchers, the discount is huge)"

"Orange Fruit: 1 BP (Sweet and sour)"

"Leftovers: 100 BP points (Leftovers Cult, Amen)"

"Master Ball: 300 BP (Completed the first playthrough, yay!)"

"Golden Crown Chocolate: 600 BP (Unleash your potential and be yourself, even smoother than a certain brand of chocolate)"

"Key Stone: 2000 BP (Essential item for Mega Evolution)"

The following items are folded and will be unfolded later.

?

You didn't copy my Pokémon store, did you?

Do you think I don't know what level a broken Master Ball is in real life? You dare to sell this for 300 points? How dare you!

That's a bit too much black!

Suppressing the urge to flip the table, Bai Zhou began selecting a gift for Gastly.

The Poisonous Orb is sufficient for now, but the Golden Crown is something we could consider.

But Gastly is still in its growth stage and its potential is not yet fully realized, so using it now would be a waste.

After much thought, he decided to expand Gastly's move pool. This little guy is lively and active, and has an inexplicable passion for battle.

Oh well...

Gastly still has too few moves.

There aren't enough.

Unfortunately, at this point in time, many people don't even recognize all the moves, making move learning machines an extremely rare resource.

It is basically not available for sale on the market.

Moreover, it is not only difficult to manufacture, but it is also a one-time use item. The different manufacturers also involve intellectual property rights, and the variety is far less than in Pokémon.

Fortunately, there's also a flying system.

Little Ah, give me a list of Poison-Resistant Moves Learning Machine.

"Stand Technique Transfer Machine: 100 BP Points (Stand!)"

"Protect the Move Transfer Machine: 100 BP (Protect!)"

"Toxic Move Tutor: 100 BP (Toxic!)"

Bai Zhou looked at the price and felt his heart bleeding.

All I have left... I gritted my teeth and bought it!

Three specially made USB drives appeared in Bai Zhou's hands.

?

Bai Zhou gripped the USB drive, veins throbbing on his forehead.

Hey kid, can you explain to me what a move learning machine is?

"Little A's Assistant reminds you: This is a move-teaching machine, dear."

OK! you are vicious!

He sprang to his feet and went to the computer desk.

He inserted the USB drive labeled "Substitute" into the port, found number 092 in the folder, and opened it. It contained a tutorial video featuring Gastly.

Bai Zhou patiently watched the three videos and was pondering how to transform these complex theories into a training plan for Gastly when Gastly floated over with its sleepy eyes half-open.

"Gah?"

"Ahem, it's time for cartoons."

Bai Zhou glanced at Gastly, then at the computer, suddenly coughed lightly, placed it on the computer desk, and carefully explained to the computer:

"This is the mouse, this is the keyboard, this is for playing cartoons. Okay, if you don't understand anything after watching, come and ask me, and I'll explain it to you."

"Crack..."

Gastly was stunned.

Ignoring Gastly's bewildered look, Bai Zhou helped it open a Substitute tutorial video, then successfully slipped back to the sofa to plan its future move training.

Given my relationship with Anxin, I don't think I should charge her for sparring...

……

weekend.

Bathed in the morning light, Bai Zhou returned to the cozy research dormitory with Gastly, whom he had run with, to prepare for washing up.

Holding a Poison Orb can slowly increase the Poison-type Pokémon's physical attributes, but proper exercise can accelerate this effect.

This matter is also detailed in "From Gastly to Gengar".

Grandma Kikuko's cultivation notes are a genuine, priceless treasure. The cultivation accumulation of top-tier Ghost Kings is something that cannot be measured by money.

From personality and physique to techniques and tools, the comprehensiveness and detail of the training knowledge recorded truly astonished Bai Zhou.

The only downside is that the recorded cultivation methods are all too expensive, making it a veritable money-devouring behemoth.

Leaving aside the exorbitantly priced items that cost millions, even the energy cubes needed for training are not a small amount that can be ignored.

But that's normal. Raising Pokémon always costs money. This isn't a problem with the training notes; it's a problem with Bai Zhou personally.

He could finally relax about the early training of Gastly, but this also made him feel even more the importance and expectations Professor Oak placed on him.

"The doctor's kindness can never be repaid—"

Stepping out of the bathroom, Bai Zhou blew her short, black hair in the wind, looked at Gastly who was carefree and dozing in mid-air beside her, and shook her head helplessly.

You must finish worshiping the ancestors you worship, even if it means shedding tears.

hum-

His phone suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up; this was a notification he had set for a contact he was particularly interested in.

He picked up his phone to check; it was a message from Zhu Lan.

"Garuda and Ice Cream: When do we depart? Where do we meet?"

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow.

Last week I made plans with Cynthia to go to the local league gym today, but we haven't set a specific time yet.

To be honest, he didn't really want to go in the morning.

If he goes in the afternoon, he can sneak in a morning break; if he goes in the morning, he might not have time to rest in the afternoon.

but……

The champion has spoken; how could he possibly defy the heavens?

"Dream is to retire Saltfish: Gastly was sleeping in, I just finished washing it up, but we can set off now. You decide the meeting point."

"My dream is to retire like a salted fish: Gastly grinning.jpg"

"Garuda and Ice Cream: Meet at the gym entrance, see you later."

"Garuda and Ice Cream: Garuda's Affirmation.jpg"

Bai Zhou turned off his phone, picked out a casual outfit from his wardrobe, put it on, tidied his messy hair a bit, and casually asked Gastly:

"How is it? Does Father look handsome in this outfit?"

"Gah?"
