"Are you serious?" Mu Li asked in surprise.
Liu Yun's mouth was already split in a wide grin, "Are you unaware of what Togekiss means?"
"Three years ago, a rich second-generation secretly live-streamed at home and caught his dad's Togetic on camera. That video was edited down and is still among Kuaoyin's top 100 most-watched videos to this day."
"Two years ago, an outdoor blogger accidentally filmed a Togepi in the wild, which directly gained that blogger 1 million new followers. That Kuaoyin video still has very high traffic."
"And last year, a video account went viral by reposting a foreign blogger's daily life with Togepi. Although that video account was later banned for plagiarism, it's still enough to show the traffic generated by the Togekiss family."
This indeed surprised Mu Li. "Togekiss isn't that rare, is she?"
Hearing Mu Li's words, Liu Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Togekiss isn't that rare, but they rarely appear! The number of wild Togepi and Togetic is already extremely small, and they also deliberately avoid humans. As for Togekiss, don't even mention her."
"Almost all known Togekiss are currently in the hands of those oil tycoons, and the remaining few are collected by those wealthy individuals in Huaguo. You practically never see them, okay?"
"What's more, Togekiss herself has a special meaning. Not to mention anything else, as long as you put Togekiss in your live stream, the traffic brought by people coming to make wishes every day would be enough to push you into Kuaoyin's top hundred."
Seeing Mu Li's incredulous expression, Liu Yun sighed, "While that might sound a bit exaggerated, Togekiss truly is too rare."
Although Mu Li still felt it was a bit exaggerated, seeing Liu Yun's conviction, he was completely reassured about his live stream.
Mu Li walked over to Togekiss, patted her small head, and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect you to be so popular! My live stream depends on you!"
"Chuu Chuu?" Togekiss clearly hadn't grasped what a live stream meant yet.
"Gardevoir, can you help me explain the purpose of these cameras to the other Pokémon?" Mu Li had a headache trying to explain what live streaming was, but if he didn't explain, and they threw the cameras away, he probably wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.
The staff worked quickly, installing more than half of the cameras in no time.
Just then, Mu Li suddenly saw a staff member attempting to lift the Bewear lying on the sofa, seemingly intending to place a camera in the gap of the sofa. Before he could even stop him, he heard a 'crack' from the staff member's waist, and then he just lay motionless on Bewear's body.
Mu Li quickly walked over and asked, "Are you alright?"
The staff member was in too much pain to speak, beads of sweat trickling down his face as he continuously pointed at his waist, letting out muffled groans.
Other staff members gathered around, and one of them shouted, "Everyone, don't move him, he must have twisted his waist. Quickly call 120 for an ambulance."
"Is it that serious?" Mu Li subconsciously asked.
The staff member said sternly, "A twisted waist can potentially injure the spine; if not handled properly, it could even lead to paralysis. It's better to be careful."
Seeing the staff member take out his phone to call an ambulance, Mu Li instinctively stopped him. "Wait a moment."
With that, Mu Li turned his head and shouted into the house, "Blissey, come out quickly and save him!"
Immediately after, a pink, spherical object bounced out of the room.
"Happy?" Blissey looked at Mu Li curiously.
Mu Li pointed at the injured staff member and said, "His waist seems to be twisted, and he's in a lot of pain right now."
After speaking, he turned to explain to the other staff members, "Blissey should be able to help him with the treatment. If not, we'll go to the hospital."
The rest of the staff were stunned, especially the one who was about to call the ambulance. At this point, he didn't know what to say.
Could you have mentioned earlier that you have a Blissey?
That's a Blissey! Basically, as long as someone isn't dead, a Blissey can instantly save them!
Blissey nodded adorably, and with a gentle flick of her finger, a drop of azure blue water gradually formed. Following Blissey's gesture, it directly seeped into the staff member's body.
The staff member immediately let out a comfortable groan.
After a while, Mu Li asked, "How are you feeling?"
The staff member tried to stand up and did some stretches, a surprised smile appearing on his face. "I'm fine now."
Mu Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
The other staff members also relaxed.
Liu Yun couldn't help but ask, "What did you put inside that plush toy of yours? It actually twisted someone's waist?"
Mu Li retorted, annoyed, "What plush toy? That's not a plush toy, that's a Bewear."
The moment the words 'Bewear' were uttered, all the staff members were instantly terrified and froze.
"What did you say? A Bewear?" Liu Yun said in disbelief, "You mean that incredibly strong Pokémon, known as the most dangerous, the Bewear?"
Mu Li's face crumpled into a bitter expression, "Perhaps, the Bewear you're talking about, is him?"
Liu Yun couldn't help but swallow, her steps involuntarily moving outwards. The staff member who had just been injured turned pale with fright.
At this moment, the staff member's internal monologue was: I'm truly fortunate that I only twisted my waist, and didn't suffer a comminuted fracture of the lumbar spine.
You have to know that creatures like Bewear are notorious for being violent, and he is incredibly strong, constantly causing people to suffer broken bones, especially since this kind of Pokémon also likes to hug people.
According to incomplete statistics, countless people are injured by Bewear every year, and many even die on the spot due to delayed rescue.
However, Mu Li didn't notice their expressions. He was currently staring intently at the Bewear, a look of confusion on his face.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mu Li's expression, Liu Yun couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I made a mistake." Mu Li showed a look of realization. "I got it wrong, that's not a real Bewear."
Hearing Mu Li say this, Liu Yun and the other staff members finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Li walked up to the Bewear and punched him in the stomach. The Bewear immediately went limp, turning into a soft, squishy blob of mud.
Mu Li smiled at everyone, "Sorry, I made a mistake. This is my Ditto."
Seeing this, everyone immediately brightened up with smiles: "Oh, so it's a Ditto! You scared us for a moment."
Mu Li also laughed, "Yeah, I was wondering, how could there be two Bewear?"
As soon as he said that, the entire room suddenly fell silent.
Liu Yun suddenly felt as if a shadow had enveloped her from behind. She stiffly raised her head, and a giant Bewear was curiously staring at her.
"A Li..." Liu Yun felt her legs turn to jelly. "Help me..."
Mu Li couldn't help but roll his eyes. "It's fine, you don't need to worry about him. He won't randomly hug anyone besides me."
After speaking, Mu Li glared at Bewear. Bewear showed an innocent expression, shrugged sheepishly, and went to Ditto's spot, pretending to be a plush toy and lying on the sofa.
Mu Li's mouth twitched, and he apologized to everyone again, "Sorry, he has no other hobbies, he just likes to pretend to be a plush toy. Even Ditto learned bad habits from him."
With that, Ditto on the side also reverted to Bewear's form and lay down next to Bewear.
Mu Li chuckled awkwardly, gesturing to the staff, "You don't need to mind them, carry on, carry on..."
Perhaps due to Bewear's presence, the staff's speed visibly doubled. In just a few minutes, all the remaining cameras were set up.
After helping Mu Li put on his headset, the staff were ready to leave. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. If you need to go out during the live broadcast, please notify us in advance. You can just speak into the microphone, and we'll receive it."
Mu Li nodded, then looked at the time. It was exactly 7:00 AM.
"I'm going to walk my dog later..." Mu Li said, feeling a bit embarrassed, thinking he was perhaps troubling them too much.
The staff member said, "It's alright, the live broadcast hasn't started yet, so feel free to go. However, it's best if you return before nine o'clock, as we need to debug the live broadcast signal in advance."
"Okay." Mu Li replied.
Once Mu Li understood, the staff members quickly left Mu Li's house, leaving only Mu Li and Liu Yun.
"Sister Liu, are you staying here, or...?" Mu Li asked.
Liu Yun glanced warily at the two Bewear pretending to be dolls, and couldn't help but shiver, "I'm leaving too. I'm going to find you an assistant today."
Mu Li nodded, "It's best to find a female. My two Pokémon don't really like males."
Mu Li pointed to Ninetales resting on the lawn.
Liu Yun nodded, "Okay, I understand. Female, fearless, any other requirements?"
Mu Li's mouth twitched involuntarily, "What the hell is 'fearless'?"
Liu Yun simply rolled her eyes, "Should I prepare a nanny van for you?"
"Not necessary for now, right? For city travel, I can ride Togekiss, and even if an assistant comes, they can fit." Mu Li considered the studio's financial situation. "Let's wait until we have more funds and buy one ourselves."
Liu Yun didn't object. "That works too. Anyway, you can fly, so ordinary fans won't be able to block you."
After seeing Liu Yun off, Mu Li immediately took Arcanine out for a stroll.
It was already the second day of dog walking, and after yesterday's walk, some neighbors had clearly remembered this large Arcanine.
Few ordinary people would raise Pokémon like Arcanine, as most Arcanine are used as police dogs. Very few Arcanine make their way into the hands of ordinary people, and most of those are due to some inherent defect.
However, most people living in this villa community are either rich or noble, so they wouldn't be too surprised to see Arcanine. After all, there are also people walking Milotic in the community.
It's just that Arcanine is quite a distinctive dog, and what's even rarer is that Mu Li walks his dog every morning and evening, which has also made other dog owners in the community curious about him.
Arcanine was very fast, and in half an hour, they had already run quite a distance. After Mu Li found a place to eat breakfast, he rode Arcanine slowly back.
It was already past eight o'clock when he got home. After a quick wash-up, the "I Live Alone" production team returned to the villa to debug the equipment.
Mu Li didn't understand any of this, so he could only sit by and space out.
"The equipment should be fine now," the staff member said.
The closer it got to the live broadcast, the more nervous Mu Li became. "This is my first time live streaming. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
The staff member also smiled kindly, "Nothing much, just do what you normally do. If you want some show effect, you can go out for some activities or hang out with friends. You can also interact with fans in the live stream; you can see what fans are saying in real-time on your phone."
However, Mu Li wasn't the type of person to worry too much. His nervousness was simply because it was his first time doing this; rather than nervousness, it was more a feeling of novelty.
It was soon 10 o'clock, and the "I Live Alone" live broadcast officially began.
