Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 806: Chapter 765: Stop fighting, all of you!

Because Cloud Dream Official had never responded to the players and hadn’t released any information about “Pokémon,” the players knew very little about it.

— Other than the game’s name and some divine creatures, they knew almost nothing.

This led many people to think that this was a purely “virtual pet” game, and that these mysterious creatures were meant to be adopted by the players.

After all, each divine creature was in its juvenile stage and looked so cute.

That’s what Captain Strawberry thought as well, so she asked, “Can I adopt it?”

Unfortunately, none of the audience could answer her question.

Because “How to abduct fierce beasts back home” was a topic all Pokémon players were researching, there wasn’t any effective conclusion yet.

With no other choice, Captain Strawberry had to use her brain and figure it out herself.

If successful, not only could she adopt this beautiful creature, it would also be a significant contribution to the gaming circle!

After racking her brains, Captain Strawberry finally had a brilliant idea—

“It seems someone said just now that seeing Fuzhu means that there will be a flood?”

“Is it because it likes water, but there’s no water nearby, so it’s unhappy?”

“If I bring it a cup of water, will it follow me?”

Feeling her logic was flawless, Captain Strawberry decisively took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag, unscrewed the cap, and passed it on with a bottle cap full of water.

Fuzhu indeed had a reaction, leaning over to gently lick the water in the bottle cap.

However, before Captain Strawberry could get excited, it turned its head away from her, giving her the cold shoulder.

“???” Captain Strawberry was stunned, “Daring to freeload?!”

“No way! If you drink my water, you’re mine… I mean, you’re my deer… No, you’re my little monster! Come home with me!”

Unable to bear it any longer, the audience reminded her to tone down:

“You’re in a shopping mall right now, be mindful of your image!”

“Tone it down! Stop talking like a predator! The eyes of passersby are becoming strange!”

“Is it because of the amount of water?”

…

After thinking about the keyword “flood,” Captain Strawberry thought it made sense. She borrowed a large mop from a cleaning aunt in the mall and stood by her side as she squatted down and poured the mineral water bottle upside down, dumping it onto the ground.

At this moment, all passersby stopped and watched this cute girl pouring water onto the mall’s floor, with someone holding a large mop, ready to go.

A viewer couldn’t help but send a comment: “This is probably the strangest live stream I’ve seen in recent years!”

Only in Captain Strawberry and her friend’s eyes could they see Fuzhu shaking its head, drenched from head to toe.

But instead of looking happy, it tried to dodge instead.

Without thinking, Captain Strawberry instinctively followed and finally got wet.

Fortunately, everyone thought she was abnormal, so they didn’t get too close, or else she might accidentally splash water on others.

However, Fuzhu got angry, gathered water into a ball beneath its feet, and then slowly stretched it out into a “Water Jet,” shooting straight at Captain Strawberry.

Captain Strawberry instinctively backed away, lifting the bottle in her hand to try to block the attack at the same time.

Her movements were impulsive and therefore exceptionally speedy, but the next moment, the attack succeeded—

A large wet patch appeared on her body.

It wasn’t because of the “Water Jet” Fuzhu shot— that was just a virtual effect that couldn’t affect reality.

However, a fifth of the water volume in the mineral water bottle in her hand was splashed out with great force, getting her and her friend wet, especially her friend who was standing nearby, with her makeup smeared and chest drenched.

After a good while of stunned silence, Captain Strawberry finally spoke, “Fortunately, I wore waterproof makeup today…”

Otherwise, it would have been social death for her.

But strictly speaking, she was already experiencing social death— as the surrounding onlookers had raised their phones to her…

Captain Strawberry finally felt the urge to retreat, took the mop from her friend’s hand, began to mop the floor, intending to clean it up and run.

But just then, she suddenly heard a “roar,” and a pure white little tiger appeared at her feet, pouncing towards Fuzhu!

There was also a girl’s voice coming from behind, “Wait! Come back! Don’t fight!”

As Captain Strawberry turned her head, she saw the girl running over, anxiously persuading the entangled magical creatures to stop fighting:

“Stop fighting!”

“Little friends shouldn’t fight!”

“Quick, separate! Separate!”

The one who arrived was Leo, who was originally here to go shopping with a friend. She just didn’t want to leave the little white tiger at home so she brought it along.

However, halfway through their shopping, her friend suddenly had an emergency and left, so she stood alone on the sideline watching the excitement.

But she didn’t expect that after Fuzhu shot that Water Jet, White Luster suddenly got angry, let out a howl, jumped off her shoulder, and pounced on him.

This made her extremely anxious, fearing that the little white tiger would get hurt.

But her worries were unnecessary.

White Luster hopped and jumped, dodging one Water Jet after another, while constantly taking sneak attacks or biting or slapping, attacking Fuzhu.

Looking at the battle, it was completely a tiger hunting deer, holding all the advantages.

As soon as Leo let her guard down, she then became an older mother, believing it was wrong to bully others and fearing that the little white tiger would learn bad habits, so she tried to intervene.

But no matter how hard she tried to stop them, it didn’t work, making her extremely anxious…

Meanwhile, the audiences in Captain Strawberry’s Live Streaming room were also very anxious.

They knew that two magical creatures had started fighting and it seemed very intense, but they couldn’t see anything, only seeing the water stains on the floor…

That was so frustrating!

The only good news was that they didn’t feel frustrated for too long— the battle was over soon.

Fuzhu lay on the ground, as if life had lost its meaning, while White Luster stood on Fuzhu’s body, looking up proudly at Leo, and even let out a victorious howl.

Seeing that Fuzhu was still alive, Leo gave a sigh of relief and reached out to hold White Luster back.

But at this moment, she unexpectedly noticed the words [Experience +10] appearing on the little white tiger’s head.

At the same time, Fuzhu’s body displayed a few copper coins and a small copper bell.

The next moment, a series of System prompts appeared in front of her:

[Your Spirit Beast ‘White Luster’, defeated the wild evil beast ‘Fuzhu’, and obtained the spoils: 12 Copper Coins, 1 Copper Bell.]

[Copper Coins]: Can be used in the [Spirit Beast Store] to purchase pet items.

[Copper Bell]: Can be used to capture defeated wild Spirit Beasts, and only the Pokémon bound to the Copper Bell can enter the [Mountain and Sea Scroll].

(Note: Capturing Spirit Beasts may fail, and whether successful or not, the Copper Bell will be consumed. Moreover, some special Spirit Beasts cannot be captured with Copper Bells, and you must use higher-level bells.)

[Your Master experience gained through guiding Spirit Beasts to victory, Master Experience +10]

[First victory today, Master Experience +100]

[Level Up! Master Level +1]

[Current Master Level: 2]

[Number of Spirit Beasts that can be led +1]

[Current total number of Spirit Beasts that can be led: 2]

———

“???”

Seeing these densely-packed System prompts, Leo was completely dumbfounded:

“Wait, isn’t this supposed to be a pet-raising game?”

“How did it suddenly turn into a battle between beasts?”

“This change in style is not right!”

“Also, what is the [Spirit Beast Store]? What is the [Mountain and Sea Scroll]? What are the higher-level bells??”

“I’m a Master?”

“What on earth is a Master??”

Leo was completely baffled.
