At this moment, looking at the prompt before him and the "Dimensional Communicator" that appeared no different from an ordinary phone, Kairos couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
No, this thing actually looked nothing like a regular phone anymore. It was more fitting to describe it as a brick phone, like those symbols of wealth from the 1990s...
So what exactly was this thing supposed to be used for?
Just as he was pondering this question, the system's prompts continued refreshing before his eyes.
[S-rank Special System Item: "Dimensional Communicator"]
[Description: This really isn't just an ordinary brick phone, trust me.]
[Effect: Using this item can open a communication channel with other worlds. The specific world contacted will be randomly triggered, determined according to the contact time selected by the host.]
[Please note: Once the contact time is selected, it cannot be changed or terminated, and the contacted world will definitely be one containing Pokémon elements]
[Additional Bonus: After the host opens a channel through this communicator, the amount of shock points obtained from other worlds is multiplied by 3]
[More functions will be displayed after the host successfully contacts a world through this device]
After scanning through the item's description, not only were Kairos's doubts not resolved, they actually deepened.
Opening channels between other Pokémon worlds...
What did these "other Pokémon worlds" refer to? Could they be worlds like those in the movies, or perhaps the world from the anime?
And what could he do after opening the channel? Make games for them to play too?
Kairos was genuinely surprised by this development. He hadn't expected the item from this treasure chest to have such an effect.
But then he thought about it differently, didn't this indirectly prove that besides the Pokémon world he was currently in, there were other parallel worlds?
No wonder after arriving in this world, he'd felt that many things here were different from the original story. This wasn't the Pokémon world he was familiar with.
If that was truly the case, then this could get quite interesting. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he picked up the brick phone-like device. A line of text immediately appeared on the narrow screen above.
[Please select the Dimensional Communicator's contact time]
[Three days]
[Seven days]
[One month]
[Please note: The longer the selected contact time, the higher the level of the world that can be connected, but correspondingly, the success probability becomes lower.]
Seeing this prompt, Kairos raised an eyebrow. There was actually a possibility of contact failure?
After brief consideration, he directly pressed the button and selected the shortest three-day contact time at the top. He'd start with the shortest duration to test the waters and see what these other Pokémon worlds connected by this device were actually like.
With Kairos's selection, a dull ringing sound came from the brick phone, which then flew directly from his hand, transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared.
A three-day countdown timer also appeared in the bottom right corner of Kairos's system panel.
He couldn't help but sigh softly. The specific function of this item would become clear in three days.
As for what world it could connect to, anything would be fine as long as it wasn't the manga world. After all, the worldview in the manga version was indeed a bit too dark.
At this moment, just as Kairos was pondering and moving his gaze away from the countdown timer in the bottom right corner of his system panel, he was surprised to discover that another golden light ring had emerged from the treasure chest.
However, this ball of light was obviously not as intensely bright as the previous one.
Oh? There were actually more rewards?
He reached out to touch the light orb again. As the radiance faded, what appeared in his hand this time was an item he was incredibly familiar with—one he'd just encountered moments ago.
It was a deep purple Poké Ball with an "M" at the top, its surface flickering with dazzling, domineering light.
[Ding! Congratulations host, you have obtained the S-rank special system item "Master Ball: Modified."]
This time, before Kairos could think much about it, the item's description appeared directly before his eyes, explaining its function.
[S-rank Special System Item: "Master Ball: Modified"]
[Description: There's only one Master Ball in the first playthrough, but if you have cheats, that's not the case.]
[Effect: The probability of catching any Pokémon with this ball is 100%, and for seven days after successfully catching a Pokémon with this ball, that Pokémon cannot break free from the Master Ball]
[Modified Effect: All your Pokémon gain experience at double speed.]
This time, Kairos couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. Compared to the somewhat puzzling effect of the Dimensional Communicator, this item's effect was much more obvious, brutal, and direct.
This was essentially a permanent double experience card plus an original Master Ball from the games!
According to this description, even if Arceus showed up, as long as it took one hit from this ball, it would be directly captured.
However, Kairos was clearly aware of several issues:
First, he indeed had no plans to become a trainer, so the situation where he'd use this Master Ball would most likely be when encountering some problem he couldn't solve himself, using it as a defensive measure to capture dangerous Pokémon.
Second, while Master Balls might be relatively easy to understand in games, in the real world, this thing was actually quite unethical.
In the real world, every Pokémon was an independent individual. As a trainer, capturing a Pokémon wasn't a unilateral action, but a mutual choice between both parties.
Whenever Kairos had seen those power fantasy novels from his previous life where protagonists who crossed into the Pokémon world with cheats would just throw Master Balls at any Pokémon they liked, he'd always felt a bit troubled.
If becoming the strongest was as simple as capturing Pokémon this way, then a certain wealthy man would probably already be invincible.
Even if you successfully captured legendary Pokémon with a Master Ball, they could use their overwhelming power to forcibly break out of it.
In Scarlet and Violet, when Koraidon's energy went berserk, it directly expanded and destroyed the Master Ball, a perfect example.
However, now the system had added an effect guaranteeing it would last seven days, so at least for legendary Pokémon, this thing could restrain them for a while.
In any case, for the current Kairos, this was purely a trump card for self-defense.
Holding this Master Ball, Kairos felt much more relaxed.
Originally, when he'd just crossed over, he'd been wondering whether he needed to improve Litwick's strength to avoid being helpless in dangerous situations.
But later, Litwick had directly become a Elite-four level Chandelure thanks to Rare Candies, and now he had another Master Ball in hand. Safety-wise, he certainly had much more security.
With this thought, Kairos carefully stored the Master Ball in his system backpack.
But after thinking about it, he simply took the thing out directly and hung it around his neck with a string.
After all, nobody in this world would recognize a Master Ball, and besides, it was better to keep this thing on hand.
If he really encountered trouble and had to retrieve it from the system space, he might not have enough time.
Shaking his head slightly, Kairos's gaze fell again on where the treasure chest had been. At this moment, the chest had disappeared completely, obviously indicating that this round of rewards had been fully claimed.
However, he wasn't in any hurry, since the rewards given by the task weren't just this much.
He reached out to touch another light orb, and a dazzling prompt instantly spread out before his eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations host on obtaining a high-level special module!]
Kairos's gaze immediately focused, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Compared to the previous two rewards, obviously, the appearance of this high-level special module surprised him even more!
Special modules were different from regular modules. You might not get one even after dozens of draws, and each special module's effects were far superior to other modules of the same level.
So... what was this module?
His gaze immediately fell on the module interface.
Sure enough, there was now an additional line of new text, but unlike all his previous modules, this module's text was burning with golden flames, looking brilliant and dazzling, carrying a sense of nobility.
[S-rank Special Production Module: PWS - Parallel World Server]
[Description: This module allows games you create to connect to any other world you have visited, loading onto people in those worlds in the form of virtual projections, making them your players.]
[Additional Effect: Shock points obtained through this method are increased to double the original amount.]
After reading this module's description, Kairos was instantly shaken to his core.
Holy crap?
If this module had come alone, it might not seem very useful.
After all, the worlds he'd visited so far were only his current world and his original world from his previous life.
In that original world, Pokémon games had already been developed to a certain level.
Even if he went back there, he'd probably need to use virtual reality technology to create more advanced games to surprise people in that world.
But since they'd already been exposed to the Pokémon IP, the emotional points they could generate would naturally be greatly reduced.
But if this was combined with the item he'd just obtained from the treasure chest called the Dimensional Communicator...
Everything would be completely different!
The Dimensional Communicator could help him reach other parallel worlds, while this module would allow him to directly deliver games remotely to players in other worlds!
This way, every time he connected to another world through the "Dimensional Communicator," he could distribute games he'd created to them.
More importantly, this special module could double the emotional points from players who played this way, while the Dimensional Communicator would triple the emotional points. Combined, that would be a 6x bonus!
Damn, when had he ever fought such a well-funded battle?
If he could stack other module bonuses on top of that, wouldn't it be completely geometric growth?
However, while that was the theory, all of this was obviously contingent on the Dimensional Communicator successfully establishing connections with other parallel worlds.
Kairos couldn't help but glance again at the three-day countdown in the bottom right corner of his system panel.
He was starting to get excited about whether he'd be able to connect to an interesting Pokémon world next.
He wondered if there was a chance to connect to the anime world?
Having Ash play Ultimate Emerald seemed quite interesting when he thought about it.
With this thought, Kairos gave a slight shake of his head, closed out the system panel, and began organizing his final harvest: shock points.
This livestream had not only helped him complete that system task, but over these two days, the 500,000+ viewers in the stream plus the spread of previous recorded videos had provided him with massive amounts of shock points.
There were probably already quite a few videos online about him clearing several gyms.
So at this moment, aside from the 3,500 base points provided after completing the task itself, Kairos had also gained over 5,000 points from these sources, totaling 8,500 points!
This successfully pushed Kairos's shock point total past the 20,000 mark!
This was also the first time his point balance had crossed such a large threshold of twenty thousand.
Although he'd been getting more and more points lately, high-level modules were also extremely expensive, not to mention special high-level modules like the one he'd just obtained.
However, at this pace, Kairos estimated he was getting close to his projected goal.
He clearly knew that among all modules, there must be one containing technology that could make the entire world go wild, virtual reality technology.
He'd previously seen a corresponding module in the intermediate module section.
Kairos opened the module interface and searched around, quickly finding it among the pile of modules.
[Intermediate Module: Brain-Computer Interface - Virtual Reality Technology Module]
[Description: Can mass-produce virtual reality experience devices and apply virtual reality technology to games, allowing players to experience game content firsthand while greatly accelerating the speed and quality of virtual reality game production.]
[Required points for purchase: 5,000 points.]
Although Kairos had long had enough points to buy this module, he'd never done so.
The reason was simple: as an intermediate module, the technology it provided wouldn't be that mature, nor could it reach his expected goals.
In his view, if he was going to make virtual reality games, he had to go big!
But now, with sufficient points, purchasing some other intermediate modules to assist this module in production should be no problem!
As for what game to make next, he'd already decided.
If Ultimate Emerald focused on game difficulty, then focusing on game story modifications... there was only one choice.
The fan masterpiece "Pokémon Dark Phantom"!
