If I Have No Morals, You Can't Guilt-Trip Me

"I've caught Torchic!"

[Just asking, is the streamer a chuunibyou?]

[So cringe, I've already dug out a three-bedroom apartment.]

"What do you know? This is what you call a man's romance."

Su Feng's face turned slightly red, but he still stubbornly retorted.

He had always wanted to shout that line since he was a kid, and today he finally got his chance.

"The sun is about to set, and I've been streaming all day. Everyone should rest early. I'm going to end the stream."

[Huh? It's still early! Are you on a health kick?]

[No! You can't end the stream!]

[Sniff, I'll die if I can't see Torchic.]

[Fine, I'll allow you to end the stream for five minutes.]

Seeing these comments, Su Feng's face darkened.

"That's enough. I've been streaming all day, and I haven't even eaten yet."

[Oh, right. I've already eaten three meals.]

[Salute to the legendary hunger king.]

[Alright then, streamer, go rest. Start early tomorrow.]

"Mm-hmm, will do. See you all tomorrow morning."

After barely managing to deal with the audience, Su Feng closed the stream and finally relaxed.

"Phew, outdoor streaming is really a physical workout..."

Thinking about it, he had done quite a lot today.

First, he was chased by Beedrills for two miles, then he encountered a Rattata, and finally, he became partners with Torchic.

If it weren't for his Ash Ketchum-like physique, he would have been done for during the Beedrill chase.

"Growl~"

Su Feng rubbed his stomach. It had really been neglected today.

But it wasn't time to eat yet. He needed to set up the tent before nightfall.

"Torchic, go play nearby. I need to set up the tent."

"Chirp~!"

Torchic happily ran off. Su Feng wasn't worried since Torchic had always lived around here and was more familiar with the area than he was.

"System, do you sell tents?"

[Yes, I do.]

A screen appeared before Su Feng's eyes, displaying a variety of tents. Su Feng eventually chose one that could be set up and taken down with a single button and had a large interior.

The downside was that it was expensive, costing him eight points.

Looking at the tent in his hand, which was less than half a meter in size and light enough to carry with one hand, Su Feng couldn't help but marvel at the system's advanced technology.

Next, Su Feng exchanged some basic survival tools for the wilderness, spending another five points in total, but it was worth it.

"But... what should I eat today?"

Just as Su Feng was browsing the system's vast selection of food, a red figure darted to his side.

Torchic had a large fish in its mouth and placed it at Su Feng's feet, looking at him eagerly.

"Is this fish for me?"

"Chirp!"

Torchic nodded in confirmation.

Su Feng felt a warmth in his heart. Torchic must have heard his stomach growling and went to catch the fish. He had thought Torchic was just playing around earlier. Moreover, Torchic didn't know he had a system, and it probably thought he had no food on him.

Thinking this, Su Feng decisively gave up on buying food from the system.

"Great! Tonight, we're having grilled fish! Let me show you my cooking skills!"

"Chirp!"

...

During the time Su Feng was offline, the topic of Pokémon underwent a series of dramatic changes on the domestic internet.

First, the term "magical beasts" was officially replaced with "Pokémon" or "spirits," and it would not be changed back.

Next, recordings of Su Feng's streams caused a sensation on various short video platforms.

Among them, the most viewed clip was Su Feng advocating for peaceful coexistence between humans and Pokémon. Some thought he was just seeking attention, while others agreed with his ideas.

Clips of Su Feng and Torchic were also edited together, with Torchic's adorable moments changing many people's prejudices against Pokémon. Torchic even gained a group of fans.

...

Fatigue is the best companion for sleep. That night, Su Feng slept soundly with Torchic in his arms.

Since he had gone to bed early, he woke up naturally at dawn.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Su Feng started another live stream.

"Good morning, everyone."

[Good morning.]

[Hey, streamer, can you not block my view of Torchic?]

[Is this the streamer who claims humans and magical beasts should coexist peacefully?]

[Buddy, did you just get internet access? They're called Pokémon now, not magical beasts.]

[Let's observe the monkey politely.]

[...]

A flood of comments overwhelmed Su Feng, and the skyrocketing number of viewers made his eyes widen.

"What!? The numbers are still rising!?"

[??? What does that mean?]

[The streamer's spouting more incomprehensible nonsense.]

"One hundred thousand, one hundred fifty thousand, two hundred thousand!?"

Finally, the number of viewers reached five hundred thirty thousand, and the rate of increase began to slow.

"Wow... you guys are really enthusiastic."

Keep in mind, after streaming all day yesterday, he hadn't even reached ten thousand viewers.

Now, in just one night, he had surpassed five hundred thousand.

Those who had worked hard to gain followers would be devastated if they saw this.

"I know you can't resist my charm and intelligence. It's not your fault; it's just my irresistible and damnable charisma."

Su Feng's grin stretched from ear to ear. How many points would this translate to?

[666, I'm a pure fan of the streamer's looks.]

[I love your shameless and oblivious attitude.]

[Excuse me, magical beast, could you move? You're blocking my view of the streamer.]

These trolls were clearly old fans, while the new fans had already started cursing.

[What? There are really people siding with magical beasts?]

[Traitor to humanity, ugh!]

[You're really willing to do anything for views, huh?]

[Are the people injured by magical beasts abroad fake? Can't you think about those who've been hurt by magical beasts?]

"Hey, hold on." Su Feng picked his ear. "I never said Pokémon are harmless."

"Without a solid emotional foundation, any Pokémon can be dangerous."

"And moral guilt-tripping doesn't work on me." Su Feng raised his middle finger to the screen. "If I have no morals, you can't guilt-trip me."

"Besides, Pokémon generally don't attack humans without reason. Instead of blaming others, maybe those hurt by Pokémon should reflect on what they did to the Pokémon?"

Su Feng dared to confront them head-on because his stream couldn't be banned.

After all, he wasn't the type to stay silent when insulted.

As expected, Su Feng's words caused an uproar. Some praised him for being bold, while others hurled insults at him.

Su Feng wasn't surprised and waved his hand. "Mods, do your job."

As soon as he spoke, the chat became clean.

Having a high-tech system as a mod was truly efficient.

"Hey, you're not charging me this time?" Su Feng was a bit surprised. Had the system changed its ways today?

[I forgot. Thanks for reminding me. That'll be one point.]

Su Feng: "..."

He shouldn't have opened his mouth.
