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

Chapter 315 The Legendary Faith Function, Mewtwo's Victory?!
Liuli is still trying her best to control Hakron and turn the tide.

However, two fists cannot fight against four hands.

In a massive explosion, Hakron was also severely injured, teetering on the brink of collapse, and on the verge of giving up.

Looking at her backpack full of top-tier items that were about to disappear, and at her companion lying on the ground, Liuli almost fainted from anxiety.

So many good things!

Everything's going to be gone!!!
Just as Hakron was about to collapse, time seemed to stand still.

The noise throughout the maze suddenly vanished, replaced by a deathly silence.

A feather shimmering with rainbow light slowly descended from the sky and floated in the center of the group.

The soft glow emanating from the feathers instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a huge, sacred phoenix phantom slowly emerged in the sky above the labyrinth.

Its entire body was engulfed in golden flames, and its eyes shone like two small suns, majestic and sacred.

Liuli was completely dumbfounded.

Who is this?

The figure let out a clear, melodious cry, a sound that seemed to come from ancient times and carried a power capable of purifying everything.

The golden light instantly enveloped the entire scene, like a warm sun shower.

The miracle happened!
In the radiance, the Burning Bug and Wartortle lying on the ground lit up with white light, and their previously empty health bars were instantly restored to full!
Not only that, all negative statuses were eliminated, and even the consumed PP points were fully replenished.

The ferocious enemies around them seemed to be stunned by the Phoenix King's divine power, freezing in place and unable to move for a brief period of time.

Liuli paused for a second, glanced at the countdown timer in the upper right corner, and then realized what was happening.

This is an opportunity!

This is the only chance!
"Run! Get out of there!"

She controlled her fully-equipped team and, taking advantage of the few seconds the enemy was stunned, frantically rushed towards the exit.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters...

Just one second before the countdown reached zero, the Burning Worm's toes finally touched the teleportation light.

The image distorted, and the scene before my eyes changed instantly.

The team successfully stepped out of the maze entrance and returned to the safe world.

All the item rewards were successfully obtained, and my backpack is now full.

Liuli slumped in the chair, panting heavily, her heart still pounding.

The chat room was completely exploding with messages, spamming the screen at such a rapid pace that it was impossible to see them clearly.

[Holy crap! Who was that just now??]

[Wow, that was so cool! That entrance effect gave me goosebumps!]

I don't think I've seen this guy in any other game before.

Who cares who he is? He can heal to full health and control the enemy. If I were a streamer, I'd probably be bowing down to him.

Liuli looked at the comments and was also shocked and excited.

She calmed herself down and, following the prompts from the live chat, opened her backpack with trembling hands.

In the most conspicuous spot, a feather radiating seven-colored light lay quietly.

Item name: [Rainbow Feather].

She clicked to view the details, and a golden notification popped up:

[Legendary Token: Ho-Oh's Blessing.]

[Each time you enter the Time Wheel Maze, you will receive one "Divine Resurrection" opportunity, which fully restores the entire party's condition and stuns enemy attacks for 5 seconds.]

[Cooldown time: One week in real time.]

Looking at this line of explanation, Liuli felt a moment of disorientation.

Ho-Oh??
Is that the Pokémon from just now?

Without this blessing, she would have been wiped out, and all her items would have been lost.

She looked at her backpack full of rare resources, then at the shimmering feather, recalling the sacred golden light she had seen in her despair.

The legendary Pokémon I saw in the game before, while powerful and astonishing, pale in comparison to this one...
Only this one is the true god!
A surge of gratitude welled up within her.

"Family members, the host announces that from today onwards, it is forbidden to say a single bad word about Lord Feng Wang in this live stream!"

Meanwhile, in that private room of the internet cafe in Golden City...

Ling Feng sat upright, staring at the data stream jumping on the panel in front of him.

A line of green notification boxes stands out prominently:
[Strong emotional fluctuations detected: gratitude, awe, and shock.]

[Faith Power successfully collected.]

[The legendary unit "Ho-Oh" has gained 1 Faith Point from you.]

Ling Feng looked at the line of text, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He stretched, picked up the Coke next to him, and took a sip.

Great, it's done.

The green data box did not disappear after the "Collection Successful" message appeared; instead, it began to flash violently as if some hidden switch had been activated.

Ling Feng put down his cola and fixed his gaze on the center of the panel.

Immediately afterwards, a brand new system notification, radiating a pale golden glow, slowly appeared, accompanied by a crisp notification sound.

[The system has detected that the host has successfully collected the Faith Power of a Legendary Pokémon for the first time.]

[Special Feature - Legendary Faith, now unlocked.]

[System Description: Through your actions, help legendary Pokémon increase their fame and reputation in the Pokémon world, thereby collecting Faith Power.]

[Effect: Consuming Faith Power can unlock special bonds with corresponding Legendary Pokémon, or grant exclusive rewards from that Pokémon.]

[Currently unlocked Legendary Pokémon: Ho-Oh (Rainbow Wing) - Faith Power: 1 point.]

[Next reward phase: 5 points]

[Gain more detailed synergy points: 15]

Upon reading this line of explanation, Ling Feng raised an eyebrow.

The function of faith...

Although it was announced beforehand, this is still an unexpected bonus.

That being said, although Ho-Oh's current faith is only a pitiful 1 point, which seems insignificant, it is still a breakthrough from nothing to something.

As long as the game continues to operate and the number of players increases, more and more players like Liuli will be awestruck by the Phoenix King, and the speed at which the power of faith accumulates should also increase.

Ling Feng nodded and closed the pop-up window.

However, the most urgent task now is to go to the spirit world and check on the situation in Marshall's area.

Now that Ho-Oh has appeared in the game and successfully triggered emotional reactions from players, Marshadow in the real world should also be able to sense something.

Ten minutes later.

As he passed through the portal, that familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and he found himself once again in the spirit world, filled with purple mist and distorted space.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the occasional sound of space cracking coming from afar.

As soon as Ling Feng steadied himself, a purple figure emerged from the mist like a ghost.

It is Masado.

A hint of doubt lingered in its large eyes as it looked at Ling Feng, seemingly wondering why he had returned so quickly.

"Why are you back?" Marshall's voice rang directly in Ling Feng's mind, tinged with a hint of confusion.

"It hasn't been that long, and you've already made progress on your end?"

"Or is there something you want to ask me? I've already told you, restoring the power of faith isn't an easy thing."

Ling Feng didn't waste any words. He simply glanced at the creature floating in mid-air and said:

"Don't worry about that for now. Try to sense it and see if you can feel the presence of the Phoenix King."

"Ho-Oh?"

Marcia paused for a moment, then gave an even stranger expression.

Wait?

Does this mean he has already helped Lord Ho-Oh restore his faith power?
How could that be? He's only been gone for less than two hours!

Although Marshall had some doubts, seeing Ling Feng's confident look, he decided to give it a try.

It closed its eyes, its purple body hovering slightly in the air, and the chaotic spatial fluctuations around it began to calm down with its breathing.

It began to spread its mental energy outwards as much as possible, trying to capture something.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Just when he thought this attempt was going to fail again, his body suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, Marshall suddenly opened his eyes, his once calm eyes now wide open, his face full of disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Marshall's voice even trembled slightly.

"I...I really sensed it!"

Although it was only for a moment, and although the signal was very weak, like a candle flame in a storm.

But he was certain that it was Ho-Oh's aura!

That sacred and warm feeling is absolutely amazing!

Marshado seemed somewhat excited. It quickly circled twice in the air before stopping again in front of Ling Feng, and said eagerly:
"Hey, what were you doing?! How did you do that?!"

Ling Feng shrugged.

"It's hard to explain the specific principles to you. You just need to know that the power of faith has indeed come into being, and that's enough."

He paused, then continued:

"Now that we can sense it, can we pinpoint its exact location?"

Marcia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then closed her eyes again to carefully feel the sensation.

After a moment, it shook its head with some regret.

"No, the signal is too weak, it's intermittent, and we can't pinpoint the exact location at all. Moreover, this connection seems to be blocked in some way. To establish a stable connection, we need more... power of faith."

As it spoke, it looked up at Ling Feng, its eyes sparkling like stars.

"You must still have a way, right? Since you have this much, you must want more, right?!"

Ling Feng nodded.

This was exactly what he expected.

After all, the game Rescue Team has only been released for a short time. Although the number of online players is high, currently, only Ruri and her group of players have triggered the Ho-Oh storyline.

With only 1 point of faith power, it's already quite good that Marshall could sense even a trace of his presence.

However, this shouldn't be a big problem.

Ling Feng was well aware of the potential of his game.

Compared to the previous Emerald and Darkest Nightmare, the Rescue Team has a wider audience.

Especially for storylines that can touch players' emotions and showcase the bonds between Pokémon, the speed at which players spread the word is astonishing.

Given time, as more and more players progress and as Ho-Oh's fame grows in the game world, the collected Faith Power will definitely increase exponentially.

By then, Marshadow should be able to find Ho-Oh again.

"Just wait, two weeks at most should be enough."

Marcia was taken aback for a moment, then cheered.

"Yay! Is it really that fast?! This is amazing!"

Ling Feng's gaze swept over the still-thick purple mist around him.

All we need to do now is wait patiently.

The current plan is clear, with two main directions.

First, once Marshadow and the players in the game have cleared out the Pokémon infected by the mist in the Spirit World and purified the environment, Giratina should be able to emerge from the rift in the Reverse World and directly address the root of the problem.

Secondly, once the collection of faith power reaches a threshold, Marshadow will be able to accurately sense Ho-Oh's location.

If you take a two-pronged approach, one of them will eventually succeed.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn't help but stretch.

After all this time and effort—designing games, monitoring live streams, and making occasional trips to the spirit world—my mind has been constantly on edge.

Everything seems to be going smoothly now, so can we finally take a short break?

However, just as this thought popped into his head, a system notification sounded in his ear.

【Ding! 】

Ling Feng's stretching motion froze in mid-air.

Something else?!

He reluctantly lowered his hand and refocused his gaze on the empty space in front of him.

There, a striking red notification was flashing wildly.

[Special invitation card activity detected!]

[Invitation Card Unit – “Mewtwo” has successfully cleared the Emerald stage!]

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting this to happen.

Huh? So fast?
How long has it been?

Even Cynthia took two weeks to complete her first playthrough, right?
Meng Ge has opened?
However, upon closer reflection, this doesn't seem surprising. It is the strongest artificial Pokémon, possessing computing and learning capabilities that surpass those of supercomputers.

For it, beating a game like Emerald might really just require analyzing the data rules, getting used to them, and then it could easily breeze through the game.

Needless to say, he probably doesn't need much rest and spends most of his time playing games at the Rockets' base.

As expected, Meng Ge is still awesome!
Ling Feng shook his head. Before he could think about it further, the system's follow-up prompts popped up again.

[This player was a specially invited member via an "invitation card," possessing a special status, and was the first player to complete the special storyline.]

[Please immediately issue a personalized, customized completion reward to this user!]

Customized rewards?

Ling Feng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

What's a good reward for Mewtwo?
Those resources, and candy and stuff, seem a bit inappropriate.

After all, Meng Ge isn't one of those trainers; he's a genuine legendary Pokémon.
So, what does Mewtwo need most right now?
After a brief moment of thought, Ling Feng smiled.

Yes.

The answer is simple.

--free!
