Chapter 263 Posted by: Pocket Speaker Squirrel

Bai Zhou immediately liked the last humorous comment.

This idea is truly bizarre—it's both unique and absurd, yet strangely logically consistent.

Regardless of whether this person accurately guessed the hidden plot, the fact that he almost inexplicably opened his box was quite impressive.

It has to be said that this user with the ID "Insect Catcher" has a bit of "luck" about him.

Let's bring our attention back to the post itself.

I quickly skimmed through the well-reasoned and insightful post, "Dragons are the strongest!" again.

Bai Zhou confirmed that the quality of this post was absolutely above the standard and it was fully qualified to receive the highest level of reward he had set.

He clicked on the profile of the poster "Dragon, the strongest!"

I'd like to check his public information or contact details to determine the mailing address or other way to receive the reward.

However, once the personal homepage finishes loading, you can see the large background image that takes up most of the screen.

Bai Zhou's expression froze, then became extremely strange, and the corner of his mouth even twitched slightly involuntarily.

In the picture, a robust young man with a healthy tan stands confidently in the center of a huge, open-air arena that is packed with people.

He casually put one hand on his hip, and held up his phone, which was taking a selfie, with the other.

He flashed a bright smile at the camera, a smile that was both wild and extremely confident, seemingly capable of infecting all gloom, his white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.

In the background, on the huge electronic display screen, one could vaguely see a brilliant replay of the decisive moment of his fierce battle.

This person————

Bai Zhou is very familiar with him.

Or rather, almost everyone in the entire Pokémon competitive scene and online world knows him.

A super popular internet celebrity in the Galar region, one of the strongest Gym Leaders known as the "Dragon Master," a member of the top eight ranked Pokémon Masters in the World Pokémon Championships, and ————

A top-tier trainer widely known among players, who always seems to be just a little bit short of defeating the "undefeated champion" Leon, but always seems to lack that crucial bit of luck, a trainer who combines skill and popularity!

Cibana!

Bai Zhou:

"————"

Well—he should have thought of that sooner.

To possess such keen insight, strong logical reasoning ability, and an ID so persistent in declaring "the strongest of the dragons" —

Apart from that famous "Flying King" from Kanto.

Looking across the world, only this dragon-type icon from Galar—Chibana—could do something like this.

That's good now.

The reward was given directly to an "industry insider," who is also a heavyweight star gym owner and top player.

Shirazuki's thoughts had begun to wander uncontrollably.

I'm thinking about whether to add a chibi-style drawing of "Leon getting beaten up" as a "bonus surprise" on the packaging of the Energy Cubes I'm sending.

Of course, this was just a surge of his wicked sense of humor, which was quickly suppressed by reason.

Having confirmed the poster's identity, it seems unlikely that obtaining the shipping address through a regular private message will work.

Let the Pokémon Studio's official operations department formally contact Chibana's team under the guise of a collaboration invitation or event reward.

This also makes it seem more formal and serious.

After dealing with the "Dragon Head" post, Bai Zhou returned to the overall ranking interface of the activity posts.

His gaze fell on the second-place post.

The first-place post was so explosive and incredibly professional that it made him even more excited about the second-place post.

The post is titled: "The Story Between a Handsome Researcher and Mew! The Final Step in Forging a Bond with Mew! The Never-To-Appear Mew Island! (The Final Chapter of the Search for Mew Series, the Most Complete Collection of Clues Online!)"

Oh? It's about fantasy?

They even came up with the concept of a "dream island" —

This player seems to have done quite a deep dive; they are definitely a hardcore player not to be underestimated.

Just by looking at the amount of information revealed in the title, Bai Zhou became very interested in the poster.

He clicked to enter the post.

However, upon seeing the poster's ID, his eyebrows involuntarily rose.

Obviously, they didn't expect it to be this "old acquaintance".

He was the first official Pokémon video blogger he personally signed, a veteran UP known for his hardcore exploration and detailed strategies!

The post also maintained his consistent concise style, without any unnecessary words or sentimentality.

With only one prominent video link, the content creator demonstrates their complete confidence in their work.

With a mindset somewhat like "inspecting one's own child's homework," Bai Zhou clicked the link.

The page redirects, a gentle and magnetic male voice begins to play, and the video starts playing.

"Dear Pokémon trainers, it's been a long time! I wonder if you've missed me? Hehe————"

"I've put in a tremendous amount of effort to participate in this hidden storyline discovery event; I've practically lived in the game for the past month!"

The video footage is a live recording of the game "Pokémon," with the camera following the actions of the game characters.

"Fortunately, all the effort and the hair I lost were worth it! The results are gratifying! I've finally found the answer I've been searching for!"

The "Searching for Dreams" video series has finally come to its final episode! Here, I, a Pocket Fan, would like to thank all the viewers in advance for your long-term support!

After the opening remarks, the game character controlled by "Pocket Speaker Krypton" in the video did not go to Professor Oak's lab to receive the starter Pokémon as in the normal process.

Instead, he walked straight out of his room, crossed Pallet Town, and headed out of town without looking back.

"Let's get straight to the point. Longtime viewers have probably already seen the previous two videos about finding clues to the 'Dream' story. If you haven't, you can click the link in the description. I won't repeat the previous content here."

"At the start of the game, if we deviate from the normal progression and leave Pallet Town first, there's a very low chance we'll trigger a hidden event in a specific grassy area on Route 1: witnessing the first mysterious encounter between the handsome researcher and Mew!"

"After successfully triggering this hidden node, we will proceed to the Easter egg room in Rainbow City," where a decisive change will occur.

The video then switched, and the game character appeared in the Easter egg room in Rainbow City.

Inside the room, the "handsome researcher" NPC was leisurely sitting in front of a game console, with someone beside him—

There was a pink Pokémon that looked like a kitten with a long, thin tail, and it was also patting the game button with its little hands in a very serious manner!

"That's right! You read that right! This Pokémon is—Mew! As long as we stay in this Easter egg room, there's a chance we'll encounter Mew visiting to play with the handsome researcher!"

"And we can take this opportunity to join in and build up our favorability!"

The video started to speed up, interspersed with numerous clips of game characters actively approaching and trying to interact with the game.

Without exception, all of their initial attempts were ruthlessly rejected by Dream.

They either disappear completely or turn their heads away and ignore us.

The video finally froze on a successful interaction after the progress bar had moved more than halfway through.

This time, faced with the game character's invitation, Dream nodded and agreed!

"Here's the important part! Everyone, take notes!"

The sound of "Pocket Speaker Cricket" carries a sense of excitement, as if it has finally made it.

"At the beginning, don't get discouraged by Meng Huan's repeated rejections! This is a long process of building her favor!"

"If you just persevere, and the favorability you build up to a certain threshold, once the game truly accepts you, it will be willing to play with you!"

"However—to be honest, this process is a bit—long."

His tone instantly took on a sense of unbearable sorrow and vicissitude.

"I worked non-stop for seven days and seven nights to finally get the favorability rating to that level, so that Dream wouldn't run away whenever she sees me — hehehe —"

The tone, a mixture of heartache, exhaustion, and ultimate pride in his voice, was incredibly moving; it was enough to break the hearts of listeners and bring tears to their eyes.

The video's comments section exploded instantly, filled with respect and sympathy for the uploader.

"Seven days and seven nights without sleep—is this the romance of hardcore gamers?"

"Salute to the pioneers!!!"

"As expected of Speaker Teacher Shuai! This isn't just a person growing on a liver, it's a humanoid self-propelled liver emperor!"

"I cried, what about you? (Silently puts down the game console)"

"May Teacher Salty be struck by lightning!!! Look how exhausted he's made the kids!!!"

Bai Zhou stared at the barrage of comments, speechless.

What made him feel even more aggrieved was that nearly one-tenth of the comments were "denouncing" him, the game producer!

It was as if he were some heinous devil plotting something!

It's just that the random appearance rate of the dream has been lowered by "just a tiny bit".

Did you set the rate at which favorability increases to be "just a tiny bit" slower?

The difficulty level is already so "approachable"!

What's wrong with these players!

It's like the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, Lü Dongbin and — cough cough.

Just as he was thinking this without knowing what was good for him, "Pocket Speaker Squirrel" in the video seemed to anticipate the content of the comments and responded at the right time, his voice even more weak.

"I know everyone is concerned about my health, thank you all — but you're asking too soon —"

He took a deep breath, and the sense of vicissitude in his voice almost overflowed the screen.

"This is just an appetizer; there's more to come—"

These words, like the whisper of a demon, made the hearts of all the viewers tighten.

"From here on, we truly enter the core content of this video, the final and most important step in forging a bond with the dream world —"

"Many viewers are probably wondering, 'Why not just invite it to be a partner after raising its affinity level? What's this 'last step'?"

"I regret to inform you that the truth is—that is not the case."

His voice carried a profound sorrow at the discovery of a cruel truth.

"Mew is not like other Pokémon. Even if you reach the required level of friendship with it, it will not agree to become your partner and travel with you."

"Because—there's always this guy whose favorability rating is naturally higher than ours, always standing there!"

"That's right, I'm talking about that handsome researcher!"

To complement this tragic conclusion, a carefully recorded clip was played in the video.

After finally maxing out Dream's affection level, the game character controlled by "Pocket Speaker Cricket" sincerely extended an invitation to Dream to join the team.

result----

Dream glanced at him, then turned around gracefully without hesitation and pounced into the arms of the handsome researcher who had been idling around!

It even affectionately nuzzled the researcher's chin with its little head!

After doing all this, it still felt like it wasn't heartbreaking enough.

Dream even peeked its little head out from the researcher's arms, facing the direction of the game character, and gave a smile that was both apologetic and very firm.

puff-

This scene, like an invisible sword, shattered the hearts of all the trainers who watched the video and dreamed of catching Mew!

The live chat was instantly flooded with all sorts of "wailing" and "distorted" comments.

"No!!! My dream!!! How could you fall into someone else's arms!!!"

"There's a cow! There's a cow! How did I suddenly become that helpless, aggrieved character in the story?! A tonic, wheezing and crawling!"

"What's with all the 'great' talk? Isn't it obvious we're the ones trying to steal their partner? We just failed this time!"

"What?! I've become blond?! No! This is pure love! The handsome researcher is just a stepping stone on my path to a pure love with my dream!"

"Why—why do I feel more excited than disappointed when I see Meng Huan jump into the arms of the handsome researcher?"

Bai Zhou looked at these increasingly "abnormal" bullet comments and felt ashamed, deeply aware of the "complexity" of the online environment.

Just as he was about to send a comment to criticize these netizens who were outspoken and had dangerous thoughts,

In the video, the voice of "Pocket Speaker Squirrel" sounds again, this time with a sense of exhilaration and determination!

"I tried countless methods, using every item and dialogue option I could think of to invite Dream, but all of them failed in the end. I was once in despair and almost gave up."

"But! There's always a way out! I changed my approach!"

The background music suddenly becomes exciting and passionate, as if a warrior is about to embark on his final journey!

Since we can't directly "conquer" Fantasy Westward Journey —

"Then, I'll set my sights on that handsome researcher who stole my love! I'll find a breakthrough through him!"

This sudden strategic shift, accompanied by an exciting background music, should have given people a sense of exhilaration from a desperate counterattack.

However, the reaction from the video's comments was completely different, with a flood of question marks and various jokes.

"??????"

"Wait! Speaker Shuai, calm down! The handsome researcher Niu failed, so he finally chose Niu Dream?! (Major shock)"

"Speaker Shuai, isn't your approach a bit too unconventional???"

"The story of how I finally decided to pursue the researcher in order to improve my ugly appearance in the game."

"I think I'm getting even more excited?"

"This direction—it was definitely the right one!"

The speaker in the bag was in high spirits, its voice filled with excitement.

"Through my relentless efforts, I finally extracted a crucial piece of information from the handsome researcher!"

That is it.
