Chapter 334 The Mysterious Incident at Yangyang Aquarium! A swarm of octopuses has inexplicably wand

Chapter 334 The Mysterious Incident at Yangyang Aquarium! An octopus bucket has inexplicably wandered into the school of gunfish?

Ye Yinchuan received a new message notification in the background of his professional trainer app. Upon opening it, he was surprised to find feedback about the Sweetie he had provided to the League, as well as a group of Volcaronas.

Dear Trainer, thank you for your contribution to the League's efforts in maintaining the ecological environment. The two Sweetie and eight Volcarona you submitted have helped us complete water quality testing in no fewer than 13 wild areas. Subsequent water purification projects have also been launched to provide healthier drinking water sources and environments for the local Pokémon.

The message also included a video link, showing alliance staff directing Sweet Fireflies and Electric Fireflies to test water sources, as well as footage of them getting along harmoniously with the staff, eating and sleeping together.

Looking at the news and the video, Ye Yinchuan's eyes softened. He hadn't expected that a commission he had completed last time would have a follow-up...

"The League is quite reliable. They don't treat Pokémon as tools. These Volcarona and Buzzwole are officially recognized and receive good treatment and care. They can also go to various wild areas, so they are relatively free."

Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly.

The video shows that Volcarona and Buzzwole are quite adapted to their jobs, which is called a high degree of socialization of Pokémon, meaning they can integrate well into human society.

The aftermath of this incident eased Ye Yinchuan's calm mood.

He got up early today because he had two important things to arrange: one was to find a location for the tourist park, and the other was to find a reliable owner for the Tutu dog egg and give it away.

"The location of the tourist park doesn't need to be specifically chosen to be close to me. As long as it's selected as a link to the 'Elf Paradise,' I can enter the 'Elf Paradise' with a thought, and thus enter the tourist park. As for how to conceal it, all I need to do is design an office that no one but me can enter. No one will suspect anything, and even if they do, they can't explain it."

Ye Yinchuan believes that this location has at least two advantages. One is that the tourist park is less limited, since the place where he lives now is just a small county town, and the scale of the tourist park is limited to this size at most.

Another advantage is the ability to expand one's "territory." It's hard to call it a specific territory for now, but with the tourist park as a base, it's easier to explore other wilderness areas...

Therefore, based on this, one should at least choose a city with relatively abundant resources in the surrounding wilderness areas in order to make the most of them.

Even today, Ye Yinchuan never forgets to do every detail well, making the most of the convenience, or rather, the magic, that the system brings him.

This is the kind of person who has climbed up from the bottom. Ye Yinchuan doesn't have the mentality of a nouveau riche. Instead, he takes things one step at a time and doesn't dare to get cocky in the slightest.

"There can be more than one tourist park that can serve as the embodiment of 'Elf Paradise,' so I hope to open a suitable-sized themed tourist park in my current location as a way of giving back to the local community..."

Although Ye Yinchuan couldn't quite put his finger on what specific things he needed to give back to, people who become successful often feel a desire to contribute to the development of their hometown, and Ye Yinchuan was at least that kind of person.

As a transmigrator without parents, this place will be his refuge and home from now on.

Having never dealt with this before, Ye Yinchuan was a complete novice when it came to tourist attractions. Although he had been preparing for two days, he was still at a loss...

After thinking for a moment, he found a way to contact them—

Hong Yang, the curator of Yangyang Aquarium.

At the time, he connected with the aquarium and pointed out some problems. Although this displeased the aquarium's live streaming team, his level of knowledge and ability were appreciated and recognized by the aquarium's director, Hong Yang. Hong Yang even wanted to invite Ye Yinchuan to be his aquarium's online consultant.

However, Ye Yinchuan declined the offer because he had too many other commitments.

The former curator, Hong Yang, did not mind. He simply stated that as long as Ye Yinchuan was willing, the position of consultant would be reserved for him indefinitely, and he was welcome to call anytime if he needed anything.

Although Ye Yinchuan also had the contact information for another tourist park, he felt that the old curator, Hong Yang, had more authority and was a nice person, so he decided to consult him.

At this moment.

The aquarium's director, Hong Yang, is troubled by a problem: an unknown Pokémon has somehow wandered into his newly built Remora enclosure, and one of his Remoras has been eaten. He doesn't understand where the aquarium went wrong... He feels guilty and anxious because of his mismanagement.

Hong Yang thought of Ye Yinchuan, but unfortunately, the private messages they sent to Ye Yinchuan from their aquarium went unanswered, and he didn't agree to be their online Pokémon consultant...

"Sigh, if he were our aquarium's consultant, this problem would definitely be solved... Now we can only wait for him to start his live stream and see if we can connect online."

Just then, Hong Yang's phone rang. He glanced at it with slight annoyance, and his expression immediately changed:

"It was him who called!"

Hong Yang answered the phone and had a conversation with Ye Yinchuan.

"You want to open a tourist attraction? Do you accept any form of investment? Funding, technology, experience—none of these are problems... I can provide you with access to various channels."

"By the way, I have a question I'd like to ask you..."

After a long chat.

Ye Yinchuan hung up the phone; the rest of the matter was basically settled.

To his slight surprise, Hong Yang encountered a problem, but this so-called problem was something he could easily solve.

The two hit it off immediately and reached some initial consensus over the phone.

Ye Yinchuan's tourist park allows Hong Yang to invest, providing support in terms of funding, technology, and experience. However, the percentage and share will inevitably be limited, and Hong Yang can only provide support; everything and the power to decide on the tourist park will remain firmly in Ye Yinchuan's hands.

Because Ye Yinchuan can provide the most crucial element: a vast amount of Pokémon knowledge far exceeding that of the general public, and the ability to continuously supply the tourist park with precious and rare Pokémon, including ensuring their subsequent evolution.

Ye Yinchuan finally relented and agreed to be Hong Yang's online consultant, not as an employee, but as a partner.

Ye Yinchuan certainly understood the potential of his tourist park and its immeasurable future value...

However, with Hong Yang's help, he can get started faster and smoother, and the time and trial-and-error costs saved are equally valuable.

At the same time, there is a small detail here.

That means Hongyang's shares are limited to this one tourist park. Once everything is ready, Ye Yinchuan will expand into other areas, which may then have nothing to do with Hongyang...

Of course, if the cooperation goes well, Ye Yinchuan would not mind continuing to cooperate with Hong Yang.

This isn't about scheming; it's simply about cooperation and mutual benefit.

A few hours later.

In the live stream room of Yangyang Ocean Park, the familiar female anchor Yaya, having received instructions from her superiors, adjusted her demeanor and spoke with the viewers:

"Family members, the recent problems we've encountered in the Reeves's Fish section of our aquarium are truly baffling, but don't worry, our Director Hong has invited news anchor Kirby to help us resolve them. I'm sure you're all familiar with this anchor by now..."

Ya Ya's words caused a huge stir.

Wow, is Kirby's going to do a live stream with us again? I'm a long-time fan; I followed both his streams the last time he came to this one!

[Really? A spokesperson for Ho-Oh? I heard he's been connecting less and less lately, I wonder if he's gotten arrogant!]

[If they don't say anything, that'll be interesting enough!]

"He's here!"

Ya Ya was also a little excited.

When she first connected with this Kirby Mirror, the other person didn't have many fans yet...

Now she's a top streamer on the entire internet, someone I can only look up to!

[User "Kabby Appraiser" has entered the live stream!]

[User "Kirby Appraiser" requests to connect with you!]

Seeing the prompt, Ya Ya excitedly clicked "confirm," and after the screen appeared, she greeted the viewer somewhat nervously:

"Hello, host!"

"Hello, Master Hong asked me to come and tell you about your situation."

Ye Yinchuan didn't put on any airs; he simply entered the online connection in a very normal manner.

"You've probably heard about what happened. Our aquarium recently opened a Rextoy enclosure, and an Octopus Bucket got mixed in with it. One of the Rextoys was even eaten. But we've carefully checked every area and haven't found any damage... Could it be that one of these Pokémon eggs got mixed in with the Rextoys we brought in?"

[That shouldn't be the case. Octopus buckets should have a longer lifespan than spearfish. Even if eggs were mixed in, they couldn't possibly grow to adulthood this quickly!]

[Yes, and we know that Pokémon eggs are usually quite large!]

Could there be any blind spots or areas that weren't thoroughly checked?

The audience was abuzz with discussion, and the aquarium staff were at a loss. It wasn't a very serious accident, but if the source of the problem couldn't be found, it wouldn't be a solution.

Ye Yinchuan listened calmly to the information provided by Ya Ya. In fact, he already knew what was going on, but it was just a formality. The key was to let the audience know roughly what was going on. Otherwise, if he revealed it directly, the program effect would be too weak.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Ye Yinchuan then spoke as if deep in thought:

"I think I just remembered something. There's a hypothesis about the relationship between the 'Pumpfish' and the 'Octopus Bucket': that the 'Octopus Bucket' is an evolved form of the 'Pumpfish'."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of comments in the live stream.

[Impossible! The appearance of the Gunpla and the Octopus Bucket is too different; this hypothesis is too far-fetched!]

Haha, although octopuses are fish, this feels like a completely different species!

[If it were anyone else, I would have left the livestream and blocked them... but he's Kirby's Appraisal!]

Does this mean the streamer has some advanced understanding of the current version?

Ye Yinchuan wasn't too surprised by the audience's reaction, after all, the evolution chain between Remora and Octobuzz is one of the more perplexing in Pokémon.

But he remained completely calm:

"I know you're in a hurry, but hold on a minute. At first, I also found this hypothesis incredible... but if you study the gunfish and the octopus barrel closely, you'll find they have a lot in common..."

In Ye Yinchuan's mind, his Pokémon knowledge from before his transmigration, as well as the Pokédex, began to work together to organize the information that would be most convincing to the audience.

[The host will explain in detail!]

While octopus buckets aren't particularly rare, they seem to be caught very infrequently, usually ending up in fishing nets with only one or two occasionally!

The Remora Pokémon has been thoroughly researched, but it seems to be too weak, so it receives little attention and is generally kept as an ornamental fish.

"Repulse and Octopus are both Water-type Pokémon, that's beyond question, and I don't need to elaborate..."

Ye Yinchuan, watching the group of swimming ironfish and the isolated octopus barrels on the live feed, began his performance.

"But I'm afraid few of you have noticed some of their other commonalities. You probably know that the Rexfish lives with the Flying Fish and works together to defend against enemies, right? And the Flying Fish's evolved form, the Giant Flying Fish, often provides shelter for the Rexfish, whose fins can turn into suckers and attach to the Giant Flying Fish's body..."

[I don't understand what the streamer is talking about. Why is the Ironfish evolving into the Octopus Bucket, and why are the Flying Fish and Giant Flying Fish doing this?]

【Can I really say all this nonsense that I don't know anything about?】

[Is this the level of all the top streamers on the internet? I've been hearing about it a lot lately, but after seeing it today, I'm surprised I'm just spouting nonsense!]

Ye Yinchuan ignored the comments.

Just like those who make the greatest contributions will still have people who blindly criticize them, even if he is the spokesperson for the Phoenix King and a top streamer on the entire internet...

Sorry, this is the internet, this is the Douyin platform, so you have to practice!

"The reason why the gunfish is called the gunfish is because it can shoot out a powerful jet of water, just like firing a gun."

When faced with danger, the spearfish will spray water to propel itself backward quickly, a tactic similar to that of the octopus bucket. However, the octopus bucket can spray not only water but also ink.

Some studies I'm aware of suggest that Repulsatile and Octopod can be classified as Jet Pokémon.

You know what, now that the host says it, it actually seems a bit true?

But I still feel it's too far-fetched.

That's right, there are just too many Pokémon that can spray water!

Ye Yinchuan wasn't surprised to see the comments, because netizens are always difficult to deal with, especially since this wasn't his home turf. Many viewers weren't his fans and had some doubts about him as a top streamer.

Actually, according to the game's setting, there are some interesting interpretations regarding the evolutionary chain relationship between the Gunfish and the Octopus Barrel.

But in the real world, Ye Yinchuan can't exactly tell the audience that the design prototype of the Iron Cannon Fish is a pistol, and the design prototype of the Octopus Bucket is a cannon barrel, or a tank, right?

The design of its evolutionary chain is also related to the Japanese method of catching octopuses: sinking a jar containing fish into the sea, then retrieving it the next day, will result in catching an octopus, which will then eat the fish...

Ye Yinchuan had no choice but to change his approach:

"Actually, verifying the relationship between the octopus bucket and the gunfish isn't difficult. I have at least three methods here; you'll know once you try them!"
