In Lumiose City, not long after Li Wei and Steven left Professor Sycamore's Lab, a mechanical voice echoed in Li Wei's mind again.
"Ding, your main quest, 'I Really Didn't Want to Be a Content Creator,' Stage 4 has been completed."
Stage 4 was, in Li Wei's opinion, a long-term quest.
It required 15 videos with over a million views and accumulating 500,000 followers.
Before setting off for Kalos, Li Wei's account had 420,000 followers.
Now, his account's followers exceeded 550,000.
The reason was simple: the live broadcast of his battle with Elite Siebold.
It had to be said that while Pokemon battles weren't everything in the Pokémon world, they were indeed an excellent choice for gaining followers.
That live broadcast, with Red, Qinglv, Lance, and Steven making appearances, caused Li Wei's follower count to continuously rise.
The speed of gaining followers during this period was indeed the fastest.
But only one of the goals had been achieved.
Just last night, Li Wei's 15th video was released.
The residual heat from Li Wei's live broadcast, coupled with the new followers, directly helped Li Wei's video climb to the top, reaching a million views just now.
The speed at which this quest was completed also exceeded Li Wei's imagination.
"In the future, if there's an opportunity, I can still live stream battles…"
If he could live stream a Mega Diancie battle when Diancie was fighting…
The popularity would definitely be very high.
"Ding, reward: Pokemon Item Lottery Ticket * 3, reward: Random Skill (Advanced) — Potion Brewing (Advanced)."
Potion Brewing (Advanced): You are familiar with the properties and effects of herbs and can create potions that heal wounds, restore stamina, and cure abnormal statuses based on the characteristics of the herbs (0/100,000).
Herbs and berries are two different categories.
Although Li Wei often called himself a Berry Master, he truly didn't understand herbs or medicinal ingredients.
But now, with the appearance of Potion Brewing (Advanced), the pharmacology of medicinal ingredients was instilled into Li Wei's mind like a sudden enlightenment.
It was fortunate that he had the Super True Human physique, otherwise, with so much complex knowledge suddenly pouring into his mind, he would have fainted.
Along with Potion Brewing (Advanced), various medicinal formulas were also instilled into Li Wei.
Formula List: Full Restore
Formula List: Max Potion
...
Formula List: Attack Potion
Formula List: Full Heal
Formula List: Multiple Boost
There were hundreds of dense medicinal recipes, all detailing how to create the formulas.
It could be said that Li Wei instantly transformed from an amateur who could only handle simple injuries due to his Identification skill, into a Pokemon doctor with rich experience.
A twenty-year veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!
System Charm Moment!
This Potion Brewing (Advanced) was not entirely useless for Li Wei.
Perhaps its effect was average at Zhuqing Breeding Center,
But if Li Wei encountered an injured Black Rayquaza, or an injured Shaymin, as he had before...
Or if he encountered other injured Pokemon, Li Wei could use herbs to create potions to help the Pokemon solve the problem.
"Ding, 'I Really Didn't Want to Be a Content Creator' Stage 5 quest has been released."
Quest Objective:
Account Followers (561,023 / 1,000,000)
Million-View Videos (15 / 25)
Quest Reward: Pokemon Item Lottery Ticket * 5, Random Skill (Top-tier)
Li Wei and Steven had one last destination.
They would go to Snorlax Restaurant, have lunch with Siebold, and then leave Lumiose City.
This was Li Wei and Siebold's previous agreement.
Li Wei and Steven's appearance brought the atmosphere of the Snorlax Restaurant to a climax.
Not only that, Li Wei and Steven also had a double battle with Siebold and the restaurant manager.
"Blastoise, Mega Evolution!"
"Metagross, Mega Evolution!"
Li Wei was relatively relaxed on his side, sending out Milotic to assist Steven.
The restaurant manager's strength wasn't strong either, and ultimately, Li Wei and Steven's double battle combination won.
But the person who benefited the most had to be Steven.
Li Wei and Siebold teamed up to cook a table full of dishes, and Steven had a feast.
"We should leave now."
Siebold saw them out of the restaurant, "You are always welcome to come again."
Li Wei nodded, "You are also welcome to visit the Breeding Center when you have time."
Because of these few meetings, Siebold also told Li Wei not to call him 'Sir' or 'Your Excellency,' but to treat each other as equals.
Although Li Wei was indeed a generation younger than Siebold, Li Wei's cooking skills and character had earned Siebold's approval.
Prism Tower, also known as the Lumiose Gym, Li Wei and Steven had already visited once.
"Let's go to Summer Avenue first."
After visiting the Stone Emporium in Lumiose City, Steven explained the precious stones stored there to Li Wei.
On this street, Li Wei happened to see a traditional Chinese medicine shop.
"Let's go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop first."
Steven was slightly surprised, "Do you even understand Pokemon medicine?"
If Li Wei even understood Pokemon medicine, Steven truly didn't know how to describe Li Wei's talent.
Perhaps it was just as Qinglv had said, his learning ability was super strong.
If it were before today, Li Wei would definitely have told Steven he didn't understand without hesitation.
But now… he really did understand.
He couldn't deny the system's efforts!
Li Wei pinched his index finger and thumb together, forming a finger-tip universe.
"A little bit. Did you forget that I also treated Black Rayquaza's injuries?"
Looking at Li Wei's smile, Steven had a vague feeling…
He wasn't just "a little bit" knowledgeable!
Reversing their earlier visit to the Stone Emporium, it was now Li Wei who began to popularize knowledge for Steven.
Li Wei even understood more than the shop assistant.
"This is Heal Powder, which can cure all abnormal statuses. It requires Cheri Berry, taotao fruit, Leppa Berry…"
"Energy Powder is very bitter. Unless a Pokemon can handle bitterness, it's not recommended for them to consume it."
"Some Pokemon might even think, 'What did you feed me?!' and even decrease their proficiency."
"Revival Herb, this is even more outrageous. It's the kind they'd rather faint than eat…"
But Li Wei still bought some for backup; the quality of the Chinese medicine here was quite good.
Although the taste was bitter, Li Wei could use other ingredients to flavor it, which was another way to apply his cooking skills.
The moment they stepped out of the traditional Chinese medicine shop, Steven couldn't help but exclaim, "You truly impress me again."
They bought two coffees at the "Handsome Cafe" on Summer Avenue and continued their journey.
The reason they bought from "Handsome Cafe" was because the name of the cafe suited their temperament.
So far, their trip to Lumiose City had come to an end.
.....
Because Li Wei had no plans for his trip to the Kalos region, the next itinerary was decided by Steven.
"Next, we'll head west to Haiyi City. There's a Sea Spirit's Den there."
