Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 298 The Spirit Realm Shakes! A Nationwide Hunt!
Meanwhile, deep within the dense fog of the spirit world.

Countless beams of pale blue light suddenly lit up, casting an eerie glow over the otherwise desolate world.

Ordinary trainers searching for supplies, bounty hunters lurking in the shadows preparing to ambush their prey, and even the fully armed League garrison squads—everyone's vision was captured by this sudden, semi-transparent window.

[A crisis alert has been detected in the spirit realm area. Emergency response protocols have been activated.]

[Game download access is now available to all trainers and staff in the Spirit Realm region.]

Welcome to Spirit Hunter: Go!

[Join the game?]

These lines of cold text, floating before their eyes, instantly caused an uproar among the already tense crowd.

"What the hell is this thing?"

"game?"

An ordinary trainer carrying a backpack was so startled that he almost threw the Poké Ball in his hand. He stared in horror at the light screen that pierced through the fog, and subconsciously waved his hand, only to find that his hand passed right through it.

"Holographic projection? That can't be right, how could there be such high-tech equipment in the spirit world?"

"Was it an illusion? Did that Gengar use hypnosis just now?"

The crowd was filled with voices of surprise and uncertainty.

In this perilous place, the slightest disturbance could be fatal, let alone this strange window projected directly onto their retinas.

Most people hesitated, and some even gripped the Poké Balls at their waists tightly out of nervousness, fearing that something unusual might happen at any moment.

However, amidst this chaos and doubt, three figures remained remarkably calm.

Those were the three bounty hunters Ling Feng had encountered at the entrance before—Rex, Lina, and Barton.

Rex stared at the familiar interface before him, momentarily stunned, before quickly realizing what was happening.

"Damn, I knew he wasn't lying to me!"

"But what...what kind of game is this?"

Forget it, forget it!

If he said it, it's probably true.

He muttered something under his breath, and without hesitation, pressed the "Join" button hard.

Lina and Barton exchanged a glance. Although they were still a little apprehensive, since Rex had made his move, they naturally wouldn't hesitate.

"join in."

As the three people made their movements, the light screen instantly changed.

[Congratulations on successful registration! New player gift pack being sent out...]

Immediately afterwards, three streams of light flew out from the light screen and landed directly in their hands.

"Are you really sending it??"

Rex held a crystal that emitted a crimson glow in his hand. As soon as he touched it, a hot and violent energy spread from his palm throughout his body.

That's a high-level resource for the Fighting type—Crimson Battle Aura Crystal!
This item is a priceless treasure on the market, specially designed to cultivate the core power of Fighting-type Pokémon, and its effect is dozens of times stronger than ordinary energy cubes.

In Lina's hand was a strange purple plant, its leaves adorned with glistening dewdrops and emitting a dizzyingly sweet fragrance.

The ultimate poison-type herb—Violet Grass.

This is like a top-tier supplement for her Arbok; once she consumes it, the power of her poison-type moves will increase by at least 20%.

Barton was overjoyed, holding a heavy, dark brown ore in his hands. It was a ground-type exclusive enhancement item—the Heavy Rock Plate.

This thing not only boosts defense but also greatly increases the destructive power of Ground-type moves, making it a treasure coveted by countless Ground-type trainers.

The three of them looked at what they were holding, and their breathing became rapid.

This is way too exaggerated!
Rewards distributed remotely?
And the newbie rewards are really that good?

Any one of these items could be sold on the black market for a large sum of money, enough for them to live comfortably for several years.

Lina's hands were trembling slightly with excitement. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Rex, just about to say something.

Rex, however, reacted quickly, immediately putting a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture.

Lina paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly shut her mouth.

There are so many people around; if word gets out about this good thing, it will definitely attract attention.

Rex's eyes gleamed with shrewdness.

The meaning is clear—keep quiet and make a fortune.

His heart was already churning with turmoil.

That kid really wasn't lying.

No, that's not right.

I must say, that guy really wasn't lying!

In short, now that we've latched onto this powerful ally, we absolutely cannot let go.

However, the three rewards in front of them suddenly disappeared, replaced by a notification.

To claim this newbie reward, please complete the newbie tasks!

[Task being posted.]

Rex reacted the fastest.

As expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
However, this task
He glanced at the information on the panel.

[New Player Quest: Defeat a Mid-Tier Chandelure]

Location: Next to the third battle line on the south side of the outer ring of the Spirit Realm.

[Please note that a team has been detected. Team tasks may be issued after the newbie tasks are completed. Do you wish to accept?]

He glanced at Lina and Barton, who were still in a daze.

"What is your mission?"

Lina spoke softly.

"They told me to defeat a low-level Night Demon near the third line."

Barton also spoke up.

“I am also a beginner-level opponent of the Dojo Master, and I am also in the third tier.”

Rex immediately made the decision.

"Okay, let's get on with the task."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Lina and Barton quickly put the treasure away and followed closely behind.

At this moment, several people who noticed the three people's departing figures couldn't help but speak up.

"Are those three crazy? How could they accept something of dubious origin?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a virus created by some prank hacker."

"I don't think so. This light screen is too intricate; it's not something that current technology can produce."

"No, I think..."

Discussions arose, but most people remained hesitant. After all, in this world, seemingly free lunches often come with traps, and nobody wants to risk their life.

Just then, everyone's game panel suddenly switched automatically.

[Playing a display of the first player's current progress and rewards...]

Immediately afterwards, Will's previous battle unfolded before everyone's eyes. This time, not only could the high-ranking members of the Spirit Realm's main tower see it, but everyone in the Spirit Realm witnessed this scene firsthand.

From receiving the mission, getting hints, engaging in combat, to finally receiving that astonishingly high-quality reward.

Full recovery medicine, pitch-black fruit, cursed talisman.

The appearance of each item was accompanied by a collective gasp of astonishment.

"Holy crap! That's a full recovery drug? Am I seeing things?"

"That black fruit...I think it's called a jet-black fruit? I've seen it in the encyclopedia; they say one can be exchanged for a house!"

"Really? You can get something like this just by playing a game?"

"It must be real, that's Lord Will!"

The crowd, which had been skeptical, instantly erupted in excitement.

This isn't a game, this is clearly giving away money!
And it's a huge sum of money!
The next moment, countless fingers frantically tapped the screen within the spirit realm.

"I accept!"

"I want to play too!"

"Save me a seat!"

All doubts about illusions or traps were thrown to the back of their minds at this moment.

Faced with this level of temptation, even the most cautious person's heart would involuntarily race.

In just a few minutes, the once lifeless spirit world suddenly became bustling with activity.

Countless red dots began to light up on the map, like sparks that ignited a wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the entire area.

In this frenzied wave, there is a corner that seems somewhat out of place.

He was a young League Trainer, who looked to be only recently of age, with a somewhat childish face. He was huddled behind a boulder, clutching a Poké Ball tightly in his hand, his face pale and his body trembling slightly.

His name is Kobayashi, and he is one of the support personnel sent by the alliance this time.

They call it support, but they're really just there to make up the numbers.

He wasn't as eager to fight as seasoned trainers, nor was he as reckless as bounty hunters who would risk their lives for money. He was terrified of death, extremely terrified.

During the half-day he had spent in the spirit world, he had lived in constant fear. The eerie environment around him and the strange cries that came from time to time made him want to turn around and run away immediately.

At this moment, as everyone around him chose to accept the game, he naturally chose to join in as well.

But the next moment, he hesitated.

—If I don't try to get away with it, then I won't do any missions at all, right?
For him, the most important thing is to survive safely this time. Although he also wants a reward, it doesn't matter at all when it comes to safety.

But just as he was pondering this, the strange game interface in front of him gave him a choice.

[Player's psychological state detected; two routes have been planned for you.]

Please select your fighting style: Conservative, Aggressive, Balanced.

[Tip: Choosing the conservative option will completely prevent you from encountering dangerous situations, guaranteeing your safety 100%. You can even choose a logistics mission instead of a combat mission.]

Xiaolin stared at the two lines of text, and his eyes lit up immediately.

No need to fight? And you can even avoid those monsters?

This is practically tailor-made for him!
He didn't even glance at the other two styles; his finger flew across the conservative one.

"I'll choose this one! I don't care how many points it has, as long as it doesn't make me go to my death!"

Once the selection is confirmed, a green dotted line immediately appears on the map, clearly indicating the road ahead.

[Congratulations! You have received the beginner quest: Head to a safe location and help the Spirit Realm transport supplies!]

He was initially skeptical when he saw the message.

But he soon discovered that the map was quite detailed and seemed to be updated in real time, meaning that as long as he followed the instructions, there was no need to worry about safety!

After a brief hesitation, he cautiously peeked out from behind the boulder and walked forward a short distance according to the map's directions.

Sure enough, just as the game indicated, the journey was quiet, without even the sound of a mosquito.

That feeling of apprehension instantly dissipated by more than half.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and a strange sense of joy welled up inside him.

Although the reward was meager, consisting of only a few points and an antidote, safety was the most important thing to him.

This game is so user-friendly!
They even considered someone as timid as me.

As Xiaolin continued scanning the map, he mentally gave a thumbs-up to the game's developers.

He'd accept any amount of points as long as he could leave this place alive.

……

Just ten minutes later.

The entire spirit world underwent a sudden change in style.

The trainers who were originally hiding in the bunkers and dared not move were now all like they had been injected with chicken blood, and began to carry out the mission frantically.

Because the difficulty of the tasks is automatically assigned based on each person's ability, both the strong and the weak can find something suitable to do.

"It's done! Mission accomplished!"

"I've finished too! The points have really been credited to my account!"

As the first batch of beginner tasks were completed, the previously grayed-out icon on the game interface suddenly lit up.

Forum functionality is now unlocked.

The players, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately clicked in.

Instantly, a flood of information appeared on the screen.

"Holy crap, guys, did you guys see the previous rewards? Was Will's black fruit real or fake?"

"I saw it too! That's outrageous! What's the deal with this game anyway?"

"I just got a Power Headband from a quest. It's not as good as that Black Fruit, but it's still worth a lot of money!"

"Stop showing off, upstairs. I only got five bottles of full recovery medicine, but it's better than nothing."

"Five bottles aren't enough for you? They're already expensive enough! Don't give them to me!"

"Does anyone know what these points are for? I see so many great things in the shop!"

"Um... anyone want to team up? I saw a team quest posted on the forum, it says to fight an elite Gastly, and the reward is doubled!"

"Team up +1! I'm bringing a Poison-type Pokémon!"

"+1, I have a Ground-type!"

The forum was buzzing with excitement as everyone discussed the game's rewards and strategies.

Previously, trainers throughout the spirit world were in a very passive and conservative state.

Not only are they wary of ghost Pokémon, but many people are also wary of each other due to their different factions.

But at this moment, things are clearly different.

Everyone's reaction was remarkably consistent.

This game is probably similar to the "Emerald" game that was very popular before!

The previous "Emerald" event was also very popular, but the reward cycle was relatively slow, and it was only once a week, and you even had to compete for rankings!

But this "Spirit Hunter.go" is different.

Its rewards are far greater and more direct than those of emeralds!
Moreover, the rewards are distributed directly and in real time after completing tasks, providing immediate feedback.

This isn't playing a game, it's practically picking up money!
