Chapter 69

: The Fruit Challenge - Mingyi Changes Course for Revenge!

[“The farm scenery is infinitely beautiful, spring planting and autumn harvest bring baskets full of produce, insects chirp on the left and grass is green, and on the right, plowing mud and water flows. Hello everyone, this is my farmer channel.”]

A boy wearing a straw hat, a blue shirt, and black shorts appeared on the phone screen.

However, instead of using farmland as a backdrop as usual, he stood by the riverbank with the Aluminum Steel Dragon and Young Gilas, looking ready to pounce.

Having just finished eating, Mingyi lay in the free lounge of the Pokémon Center in Liyong City, watching the latest videos.

She held the Snivy, which had evolved into a green vine snake, in her arms as they looked at their former "enemy," while the sleeping Fried Pig and the adorable Whimsicott were beside them.

Since obtaining the beginner gym badge in Hinoki City, she has been traveling along a planned route, partnering with Ash and Bailu along the way, and capturing a mischievous Whimsicott.

Fried Pig was caught by her and Snivy during the Hyperdimension Nymph, and now these three Pokémon are her main force in challenging the Liyong Gym.

"Is this guy not going to farm today?"

"Add mold, add mold."

I sensed the scent of revenge.

As Qing Teng She watched the guy on the screen, whom she was four times more restrained, she rubbed her fists together, wanting to give him a good kiss on the face every moment. The sound of those thuds would be absolutely wonderful.

"I'm sure some of you dear viewers are wondering why I'm not farming today? Well, I'm happy to announce that the cranberries I've been growing have entered the fruiting stage, and videos about that stage will start updating tomorrow."

"This video is mainly about a challenge I'm hosting. That's right, I believe many viewers came from my other video account. I've also seen many friends who want to have a passionate battle with me. Now, your chance has come!"

"Five days from now, on July 10th at 8:00 AM, I will be holding a fruit challenge outside Denki City, located in the Denki Mountains of the Fukiyo region."

I will be live-streaming the entire challenge, and every challenger who comes to the offline event will receive a cranberry gift pack containing 1kg of cranberries.

"At the same time, trainers who defeat me will receive a reward of 300 League Coins. Each trainer can challenge me once a day. The event will last for five days. Trainers who defeat me for five consecutive days will receive a move tutorial on a Grass-type Elite Four Pokémon!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! This challenge is limited to trainers below the Senior Trainer level and Pokémon with a training level below 30. Registration is offline only. There is no registration fee, and opportunities are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Farmer Boys welcomes everyone to sign up!"

"Berry Challenge? This guy is finally showing what a trainer should do."

Mingyi's lips curled into a smile. Although being robbed by Xia Ming had made her very unhappy, Xia Ming's fighting spirit was enough for her to issue a challenge:

"Green Vine Snake, what do you think? Should we take a detour and join the fun?"

Originally, Mingyi planned to challenge Xiaming at that time after completing the challenges of four or five gyms and then heading to the Fukiyo area.

But Xia Ming's event has made Mingyi consider taking a detour.

Aside from genuinely wanting to fight Xia Ming and seek revenge, another reason was that Xia Ming's tutorial on Grass-type Elite Four Pokémon moves really appealed to her!

Elite Four Pokémon generally refer to Pokémon with a training level of 81-90. These Pokémon are mostly regional overlords in the wild, as well as veteran Gym Leaders' Aces in major regional central cities, and Pokémon of Elite Four and Champion Trainers.

Even the first Gym Leader she challenged, Black Lotus, didn't have his own Elite Four Pokémon. The only two Elite Four Pokémon that Mingyi had ever seen were Touko's two ace Pokémon.

One is the starter Pokémon Emboar, and the other is the contracted Pokémon Diancie.

The move guidance for Elite Four Pokémon is extremely rare, especially when it's Grass-type move guidance, which she needs most. This will definitely boost Snivy's strength significantly!

As for whether Xia Ming really has this ability? Mingyi doesn't believe that someone like him would make such boastful claims.

"It's moldy!"

Defeating him is a piece of cake!

"Ha, looks like you and I thought exactly the same thing, partner. It's decided then! Tomorrow, Xiu, Bailu, and I will buy tickets and go to the Fubuki region!"

With a wave of her hand, Mingyi made this decision.

As for whether Xiu and Bailu will agree? Xiu doesn't know, because he might choose to stay and challenge the gym, but Bailu will definitely agree.

Her goal is to collect all eight strongest gymnastics challenge badges to participate in the League Conference next winter, and she will do anything to improve her strength during this period.

After watching the latest video, Mingyi turned off her phone and went to sleep while hugging the Green Vine Snake.

In her dream, five days later, she brought the Green Vine Snake and gave Xia Ming a severe beating, leaving him bruised and battered.

"Heh heh... serves you right for stealing my stuff... serves you right for blocking my escape route..."

………………

Xia Ming was unaware that his video would attract a formidable rival; at that moment, he was busy planning his live-stream sales.

In Sophia's bedroom, Xia Ming was using her desk, sketching and drawing on it with a pen and a draft.

His strategy for dumping tree fruits this time is very simple:

First, use live streaming and battles to attract a wave of attention, and at the same time, conduct pre-order sales in the shopping cart of the live stream.

In other words, if you make a reservation to buy freshly picked cranberries during the harvest season, you will receive a 20% discount, even though you need to pay in full.

His Farmer Boys channel now has a considerable following, although two-thirds of his fans are Ugly Battle fans who came from another channel, but that doesn't stop them from watching the matches and making purchases.

His long-time viewers are the kind who have watched him grow from seed to harvest, and they are more likely to make purchases.

Xia Ming was not worried that his pre-sale operation would fail.

Secondly, there will be a second live-streamed harvest after the battle, where he will live-stream the entire process of harvesting and storing cranberries, and then launch a second 10% discount sale to sell the remaining shares.

At this point, the first batch of viewers who made reservations and those who signed up during the challenge will most likely come to support him and watch him harvest the fruit.

This is not hard to understand; as consumers, we are always concerned about the quality of the goods we buy.

This is his initial strategy for launching the channel. By using this semi-bundled approach, he aimed to maintain the popularity of his first agricultural product live stream, thereby expanding the reputation of his agricultural products and increasing the channel's visibility.

Although the sale of cranberries this time will not bring Xia Ming much profit, his current goal is not to make money at all.

Instead, they accumulate agricultural experience and find ways to expand their online influence, laying a long-term foundation for future live-streaming sales.

That's when it's really time to make money.
