With a confused mind, Kaito clicked on the notifications. Some were likes for his video. Another part was comments. Then he looked at the playback count of his video.
One million?! Kaito's eyes widened. He found that it was indeed 1.02 million, no mistake, and this number was still rising. The number of people following him had also increased to over 700,000, also still rising.
Are people in this world so idle? Just an ordinary video, and in half a day, it had a million views. Could it be that some big streamer watched his video and then directed traffic to it?
Kaito picked up the fried egg and took a bite. What Ralts made was simply delicious. He opened the comments.
Gyarados is the best: My goodness, is there actually such a terrifying tactic?!
Kricketune Hero: The uploader is an Elite Four-tier Trainer from the start. My grandpa's brother's... brother is a Gym Leader, and he was greatly shocked after watching this video.
Gyarados is also a Dragon: Wait, haven't you noticed the opponent's name? That's Long Yuling!
Shut up, Meg: What if the name is the same? It should be someone else with the same name, right?
Luvdisc has no love: Up there, you probably don't know, but according to official settings, only celebrities who are real-name verified can use their own names.
Kaito frowned upon seeing this. The Long Yuling he battled, was she truly the favored daughter of heaven who was often in the headlines? Uh... was there too much hype?
He paused, looking at the unanimous 'amazingly talented' comments, and recalled a very important matter. Because the threshold for ordinary people to engage in advanced Pokémon battles was relatively high—mostly just Pokémon clashing—they rarely experienced advanced tactics. Only some prominent families, Gym Leaders, and other professional Trainers had the opportunity to access and research complex strategies through repeated battles. Therefore, the development of Pokémon battles in this world was relatively shallow. The most powerful current tactics were simple weather teams. Otherwise, it was simply relying on the Pokémon's raw strength to overwhelm opponents.
In this environment, his Level One Brute Force Strategy was indeed a breath of fresh air, completely unexpected.
Kaito continued to scroll. The most commented and liked comment was a simple sentence:
Long Yuling: Add me as a friend, let's battle again!
He clicked on the avatar to check. Yes, it was indeed her.
"Hiss~ Am I Teacher Lu now?!" I became famous all of a sudden. I wonder if there are any rewards for this?
Checking his system panel, Kaito found that there really was something:
Task Completed: Making a Name
Task Reward: A few Exp. Candies, Substitute (TM)
Fame Value: 100
He had completed a task and received several rewards. It must have been prompted while he was sleeping.
The Fame Value was explained: "By doing things that make more people recognize or even respect you, you can gain Fame Value. The higher the Fame Value, the higher the probability of triggering specific events, the easier it is to encounter high-quality Pokémon, and the easier it is to gain the favor of Legendary Pokémon..." In summary, the higher the Fame Value, the better!
"There are quite a few tricks," Kaito muttered, then finished his breakfast.
He suddenly thought that since he owned a farm, his identity was Farm Owner. What about Trainer? He clearly had Pokémon, so why wasn't he considered a Trainer?
The system responded:
Detecting intention, unlocking new identity: Trainer
Unlocking related tasks...
Task Completed: Own your first Pokémon. Task Reward: Random Special Ability.
Task Completed: Own a Level 20 Pokémon. Task Reward: Rotom Phone.
Task Completed: Own a Level 40 Pokémon. Task Reward: Ten consecutive item draws.
Task Completed: Own a Level 50 Pokémon. Task Reward: One Champion-tier Pseudo-legendary Pokémon Egg.
A series of notifications stunned Kaito. It turned out that unlocking an identity not only required meeting certain conditions but also his own conscious intention. And even if it wasn't unlocked earlier, any previously completed tasks would have their rewards issued together upon unlocking.
He was going to be rich now!
Magic City, Long Yuling's Villa
"I say, your luck is really bad, isn't it?" You Lian Yue sat by the bed, nudging Long Yuling with her elbow, a radiant smile on her face. "You actually ran into such a strong opponent just by playing a casual match? I'm so envious, I also want to be a Master's friend."
The girl had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, a curvaceous figure, and skin like white jade, exuding a delicate fragrance. The two women had different styles. Long Yuling had excellent looks and a queenly aura. You Lian Yue's looks were also stunning, and her figure even better than Long Yuling's, though she had a delicate, pitiable aura.
You Lian Yue was born in the same year as Long Yuling and came from another prominent family in Dragon Country—the Ghost-type Clan. She and Long Yuling were known as the Dragon Country's Twin Beauties, both vying to be the next Champion. While they were rivals, they were also childhood friends.
Long Yuling frowned, saying helplessly, "How can you still say such things? You clearly know that he didn't even accept my friend request!" After speaking, Long Yuling snorted coldly. She knew her friend's personality well. If others were to soften their hearts due to her pitiable demeanor, they would be tricked by her cunning nature. This woman was indeed from the Ghost-type Clan; if you cut her open, even her heart would be black.
"By the way, what is Master?" Long Yuling asked.
"You don't know yet?" You Lian Yue teased. "Because his name is i am not a master, combined with his profound tactics, everyone online calls him Master."
