Did Charmander cheat, or did Bellsprout stray?
[Does the streamer have orange peel?]
Stop farting without any smell!
"Host, please tell us, please tell us quickly."
Faced with the barrage of comments and urging from "Azu," Ye Yinchuan didn't hesitate and spoke directly:
"The eggs of trumpet buds should indeed be yellowish-green. But I suspect that someone has been feeding trumpet buds feed that is rich in lutein, or canthaxanthin and carotene."
This resulted in Pokémon eggs being orange-yellow in color, specifically to mimic Charmander's eggs.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Don't trumpet buds eat insects? How can you add coloring to insects?"
"I already said it's animal feed. Even if it's for feeding insects, just add some coloring, stir it up, and feed it to the trumpet buds. Brother, don't get agitated."
Ye Yinchuan sensed that the person opposite him seemed to be gritting their teeth, as if unwilling to accept it.
Even if you spend a thousand to buy an egg with a trumpet bud, it's still a bit of a loss.
But this guy just gives away Masterballs as gifts without hesitation. Surely he can't afford to be so stingy?
The reaction was a bit excessive, unless...
Ye Yinchuan keenly sensed something, but he simply continued to probe:
"Brother, it's just a trumpet-bud egg, the loss is only a few hundred yuan. If the quality is good, we can even break even. Besides, this is just my guess."
Unless there are many more of these eggs in your egg market, then it's certain that someone is deliberately manufacturing them, disguising them as Charmander eggs to scam people. If some clever person tries to snag a bargain and buys them all, they'll be in big trouble!
Ah Zu just stared at the screen, rubbing his red and warm head with both hands, without saying a word, his expression slightly frightening.
[The older brother's skin is visibly red.]
[Case solved! The eldest brother is the real little dragon egg!]
[Judging from this reaction, it's like they lost tens of thousands of dollars.]
Is it possible that the "great wisdom" the host mentioned... is actually...
Otherwise, how could we say netizens are so clever?
Of course, it's also possible that Ye Yinchuan's hints were too obvious.
Or perhaps, the eldest brother's reaction already revealed everything on his face.
"Snapped!"
The older brother slapped his forehead, muttering to himself repeatedly.
"It's all over, it ......"
Ye Yinchuan felt a little sorry for him: "Brother, how many did you buy?"
Ah Zu's face flushed red as he stretched out one hand, his five fingers spread wide. The expression on his face was one of deep regret.
Five? That's alright...
Ah Zu shook his head; his large bald head was already starting to turn a bit purple.
"Fifty-five! A full fifty-five! That afternoon, I ran all over the egg market and bought up all of these eggs!"
Although I was somewhat prepared for it.
But upon hearing this number, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.
"So that's fifty thousand yuan?"
"No, 1,000 was the cheapest, the most expensive one sold to me for 1,500! It must have cost me 68,000! Those bastards! Who on earth released these eggs?!"
Ah Zu's heart is bleeding.
[Ha! Trying to be clever and take advantage of others. If there were such a big loophole, would it even be your turn?]
[I spent 68,000 to buy 55 trumpet-bud eggs, enough to last me three months just from cooking!]
[Oh no! This is terrible! Does your sister-in-law know about this?]
"Brother, don't panic..."
Ye Yinchuan didn't know what to say about this.
That's why they say "mischief" is so deep, it's also called "gambling on eggs".
There are all sorts of tricks and schemes involved here, big and small.
Even seasoned veterans can't guarantee they won't get shot at once.
This guy looks like a complete novice, yet he's still having wild ideas.
They didn't even think about it when they bought it.
With such a large egg market, if there were really so many cheap dragon eggs, wouldn't people recognize their value?
Moreover, if you encounter this kind of scam, you generally shouldn't be greedy. At most, you'll lose a few hundred dollars, and you might even break even.
Buying fifty-five at once, as if afraid of not losing enough!
"Host, Lu Ziye, please help me. I heard you have connections with the Dream Protection Bureau. Can you help me get my eggs back? These are all fake!"
After a brief period of flushed redness, Ah Zu began to calm down and tried to call for help.
"Hey! I never said these were fake eggs. Did the people who sold you these eggs tell you they were Charmander eggs?"
Ye Yinchuan felt a tiny bit of sympathy for this older brother.
But he didn't want to get involved in the mess.
What if this guy takes his livestream recording and goes to argue with the merchant?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"It seems not..."
Ah Zu frowned, the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.
"That's right. They never told you that this is a Charmander egg. They just sold it as a normal Pokémon egg. Even if you go to the Pokémon Protection Bureau, it won't help."
Besides, even if someone intentionally feeds their child food containing artificial coloring, as long as it's non-toxic and complies with laws and regulations, they can claim it's to increase nutrition. What can you do about it?
Upon hearing Ye Yinchuan's words, Azu finally lost his composure.
"Host, do you have any ideas? Please help me! I don't actually have much money. I secretly took this 68,000 without telling my wife! I thought it was a sure thing, which is why I tipped you with Master Ball!"
I see other people making big money by messing around, how come I've lost so much as soon as I started? If I'd known, I should have just stuck to driving my taxi! If I don't get this money back, all these years of driving will have been for nothing!
Ah Zu almost broke down, pleading for help in front of the camera and reaching out his hand in a gesture of "thank you".
[Turns out he wasn't the eldest brother, but the master.]
[Tsk tsk, how tragic. But if I hadn't been greedy, would things have turned out this way?]
Don't mess with these troublemakers! Some people have really gone bankrupt from it!
Gamblers don't deserve sympathy!
"Brother, calm down. It's too late to say anything now. Since you've given me a tip, I'll definitely do my best to help you."
Ye Yinchuan also sighed.
"But I have a few preconditions."
Upon hearing this, Ah Zu, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, suddenly brightened up:
"Brother, you tell me!"
"First, you can sell these eggs normally. But you can't label them as Charmander eggs and then scam other people. Otherwise, the Dream Protection Bureau will definitely come after you."
"Secondly, now that you've learned your lesson from gambling on eggs, I hope you'll remember it. Don't ever think about such easy money again."
"Third, I'll only help you this once. If you gamble again, don't come looking for me. Even if you lose your car, your house, and your wife, I won't have a shred of sympathy for you."
After Ye Yinchuan finished stating his three conditions, Azu fell silent.
After careful consideration, he nodded seriously: "Answerer, I understand. I promise you. I will definitely keep these three points in mind!"
Is it even possible to save this?
[Well, that's good; the streamer has principles.]
[Brother, this master ball shot was definitely worth the tip! I've met a lifesaver!]
[No problem, I have to pay attention to this now!]
"Let me be frank, I can only help you minimize your losses, not guarantee you won't lose anything. As for your wife, I suggest you be honest and admit your mistakes, apologize sincerely, and try to appease her. Don't make the same mistake again next time."
"Yes, yes! I'll do whatever you say, brother!"
Azu nodded vigorously, like a pecking at rice.
Despite his bald head, he was quite burly and imposing.
But at this moment, he's as obedient as a grandson.
Where is even a trace of the previous impatience and skepticism?
I'll be identifying a new Pokémon tomorrow. Please read on and vote!
