Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 206 Playing games is not as good as making games; the Crane Crown King falls from grace (Seeking monthly votes)

Despite Mingyou's strong criticism and rejection, the Crown King finally changed the name of the Turnip Cult to the Turnip Studio. Although it was still difficult to manage, it was at least a little better.

"So how many followers... no, how many employees does your studio have right now?"

Mingyou asked curiously.

He knew very well that the Calyrex's power came from faith. Without faith, he could find a Caterpie and use its bite to inflict a fourfold damage.

In this era where almost everyone is a materialist, continuing to rely on miracles to deceive people in order to regain power is no longer an option.

The easiest way to create a god is through the internet. Cultivate a large fan base, and people will naturally help you create a god. But the premise is that you must have the ability to do so, otherwise why would others believe you?

Calyrex thought the same way. It discovered that many young people nowadays are addicted to games and dream of becoming Pokémon Masters. So it needed to start from these two aspects and did a lot of preparation work and studied hard for this purpose.

Returning to the previous question, King Raicho proudly raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Is there even a question! Of course..."

Not a single one!

You're so proud!

Mingyou stumbled and almost sat down on the ground. After all that, it turned out that this guy was just having fun on his own. So when will this studio go out of business?

"Hmm?"

What is this thing?

When she noticed that Mingyou had returned home, Pengpeng ran in from outside and immediately noticed a large cabbage next to her that smelled delicious, which piqued her curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the Crowned King slowly turned around and replied, "It's nothing, it's a turnip."

"Hmm?"

Can you eat?

"Of course not... What are you going to do!"

Just as Calyrex was about to respond, its body was suddenly grabbed by a strong arm. Snorlax picked it up and was about to put it in its mouth.

"You can't eat this! You can't eat this!!!"

"Kirby!"

If Kirby says it's possible, then it's possible!

"..."

Mingyou rubbed her forehead and shook her head, as if she had forgotten to buy snacks for Snorlax...

A moment later, Calyrex lay on the ground, panting heavily with a look of terror on its face. It never dreamed that one day it would almost be eaten by Snorlax, and why was this Snorlax so big!

"Mmm~"

Don't be angry, here's an apple for you.

Ponpo stepped forward, handed over an apple, then turned to look at Mingyou, curiously asking about Datoucai's identity, feeling that the other party was not simple.

"this……"

Mingyou picked up the Crowned King and, as everyone's attention turned to them, introduced it with a smile: "This is the gaming legend!"

"Ralu?!"

Ralts put down the controller and looked over in surprise. Recalling the turnip-shaped guy, could it be... a fake Zun Du?

Snorlax and the others remembered this; wasn't that the guy who cheated Mingyou out of five thousand dollars? He'd been depressed for a long time…

So, have they finally caught the scammer?

Garchomp and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and surrounded them menacingly. Riolu, who was running around outside training its Aura, noticed the commotion and rushed over.

"Wait, wait, wait... I didn't cheat anyone out of money! Who's trying to frame me today?!"

Sensing the atmosphere, King Raikou stared wide-eyed, not daring to move an inch. At this moment, Mingyou patted the wrinkles on her clothes, raised her head slightly, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I don't think I've introduced myself to you yet? I'm sorry for the neglect."

"Um?"

"Hello, I'm that guy named Mingyou, nice to meet you."

"So you're the village bully!?"

The Crowned King's gaze gradually glazed over. This shouldn't be happening. He remembered that the other person didn't look like this before; he was clearly just a little kid.

"You checked my home address, but you still couldn't find out what I look like? You really failed miserably in opening this box of weapons."

Mingyou sighed softly, but then she thought that the other party had checked her identity through her phone number. The ID card at that time had photos of her from several years ago, and she had changed a lot from her current appearance, so it was normal that they didn't recognize her.

But none of that matters now. He's lured you into his trap, arms crossed, asking in a joking tone, "Didn't you want to show me your true self offline?"

"Uh... I'll go outside and make you some ice cream, apple flavored ice cream!"

"I don't eat ice cream."

Mingyou reached out to stop the Calyrex, which was trying to escape under some pretext, and continued, "Why are you running? They won't hurt you, right?"

"Mmm~"

Ponpo nodded, and seeing Mingyou's expression, Garchomp and the others didn't say anything more, but they also lost their good impression of Calyrex.

Knowing she couldn't escape, Calyrex simply gave up resisting, her eyes showing a nonchalant acceptance of life and death. Having been trapped like a turtle in a jar by a human, what else could she say...?

It can only be said that people nowadays are really too cunning. They tricked me from so far away, and I've lost my former innocence. My eyes are no longer pure at all.

Mingyou's thoughts were completely different. He hadn't expected that the King of Raiguan would be so naive. He was given five thousand dollars and he would come running over like a puppy. He was also told that there was a video game store here and he would come over immediately.

No wonder the studio has no employees. If he were to become the boss, all the employees would starve to death. They're too honest and believe whatever they're told.

It's likely that the studio does receive business, but rather that when customers say they believe in turnips, the studio genuinely believes them...

"There's a kind of innocence in those who've never read a book, just like me..."

Why does it feel like you're insulting me?

The Crowned King asked calmly, "Since there's no escaping, I might as well stay here."

Anyway, I can still play games every day... but the development of the studio will probably be delayed indefinitely, even though it had agreed to continue working with others.

"A promise with someone else?"

Mingyou raised an eyebrow slightly, turned around, her expression gradually becoming serious, and said to the Lady Crown King, "Since it's a promise, it must be kept. Besides, promises... can make the person who breaks them feel even worse!"

These were words spoken by one of his teachers in his past life, and he has always kept them in mind. Even now, he keeps his promises to everyone, which is why he has gained the favor of so many Pokémon.

He didn't want to see the Lady Crown King unable to fulfill his promise to someone because of his own reasons. Besides, he had no ill intentions; he was just bringing the other party here for a visit. However, due to previous issues, the other party misunderstood him.

Recalling what the other person had said earlier, he continued, "So you and someone else set up this studio together? But that's barely enough to survive, let alone starve."

"You don't understand..."

The Crowned King shook its head. It had been nearly twenty years since it awoke from its long slumber, but it was only after leaving the Crown Snowfield that it truly witnessed the magnificent development of the Galar region.

Unable to keep up with the times and having lost its power, it saw a little boy in the town of Hualang in the Galar region who was herding sheep with a braided sheep, sitting under a tree catching fish, and playing games with his NDS.

That was the first time it had ever seen human technology. Watching the pixelated Pokémon battle by tapping skills on a touchscreen, and seeing the little boy's smile, it also fell in love with games.

Unfortunately, not long after, the child obtained a Charmander and embarked on a journey, and I heard that he later became the Galar region champion.

But that was the beginning of Rachel's love for games, and to this day... as a gamer, it has long been dissatisfied with that.

It wants to make games more than play games!

Its initial intention in opening the studio with others was to gain faith to restore its own power while making money, and to gather like-minded people who like games and Pokémon battles.

Finally, everyone played games together!

clap clap-

Listening to Raiguanwang recount the establishment of the studio, Mingyou was filled with emotion and couldn't help but applaud. Although the game hadn't even had a folder created yet, the other party's determination revealed his sincerity.

"Interesting. Pokémon games can attract a lot of attention if used as a gimmick, but the difficulty is extremely high... However, if you are really confident that you can make a best-selling masterpiece, then I can consider helping you out."

Mingyou won't give you money for no reason. If you want investment, you have to show some strength. Besides, he's poor right now. He's been buying fruit tree seedlings and seeds lately, and he doesn't have much working capital left.

When he said he wanted to help, King Lei was slightly surprised. Was he sure he wasn't just trying to fool her again?

No... The other person must have been impressed by my determination to make games, so they want to join the studio and become my subordinate!

"That's great, then let's pay first!"

"Stop making empty promises. I'll pay you after you've finished making the game."

"How can I make games if you don't pay me?"

"Then you have to make the game and show it to me before I can give it to you!"

"..."

After arguing for a long time, the Crested King finally decided to stay here for a while and earn some start-up capital by working. Its dream would never end.

So during this period, its goal is to bring all the Pokémon here who like to play games into its own studio. That's the current objective: to recruit them all and have them all work together to make games.

It genuinely loves games. Once it regains some of its power, it can teach them many things on its own using its mental power after learning, and it can even code a hundred pieces of code at the same time.

It had a good plan, but Mingyou's words brought it back to reality: "Since you're so capable, then go plant a hundred trees for me first. Also, get up early tomorrow to pick the fruit; there are quite a few orders."

"They actually want me to do this kind of thing! I'm at least the King of Abundance! At least give me some...

"Wasn't the King of Abundance a farmer?"

"..."

King Lace Crown hesitated, knowing that this was the treatment one received while living under someone else's roof...

It sighed softly, intending to check out the Pokémon gaming skills here. As a gaming expert, it would naturally offer guidance and teach them how to play.

These are all future employees. One day, it will etch its name into the history books of game development and ascend to the altar!

However, it was completely unaware that many blue particles suddenly floated out of its body and formed a card in front of Mingyou, who was preparing to cook.

[Crown King (lv1): After using on mustard tuber seeds, the type changes to thistle mustard seeds, with the added effect of boosting mental strength. When planted, it will affect surrounding crops, accelerating their maturity and improving their quality.]

"Oh no...it's turnips!"
