Afternoon.
A logistics company under Devon Corporation delivered a finely packaged Dawn Stone to Natsu-sensei's residence.
The wooden box was made of rosewood, adorned with intricate carvings, and the lid was inlaid with a blood-red agate gemstone.
Natsu-sensei, who hadn't seen much of the world, was instantly reminded of the old saying, "buying the box but returning the pearl."
"Steven's collection... is truly sothing else," Natsu remarked with awe.
This was a high-quality item certified by Steven, the rock enthusiast.
If it caught his eye, it couldn't just be called "high-quality"—it had to be of legendary quality.
"Now I understand... why it's so expensive," Natsu sighed.
"So, a few months' inco from gold miners is equivalent to just this one stone, huh?"
Natsu-sensei's breeding thods were learned from Brock, his training thods from Sabrina, and his resources were approved by Steven.
Thinking about it carefully, it would actually be strange if he could pay off his debts...
But at this point, the only way to barely make ends et was to keep working.
With Eevee perched on his shoulder, Natsu opened his livestream and changed the title to "Strear's Side Hustle Series: Gold Miners."
Like the previous "Plants vs. Zombies" special, this one also focused on livestreaming a ga.
Although the viewership was slightly lower, a large portion of the fans were here for Eevee.
"Eevee-chan! Uncle's here to see you!"
"Sniff... Eevee's finally streaming again."
"Hey, Strear, why are you slacking off again?"
Natsu-sensei cleared his throat lightly. "This ti, I'll be introducing the second ga made by Natsu-sensei. Those who know, know. Let demonstrate the gaplay for you..."
Natsu-sensei, being a content creator in the gaming section, could even make mining rocks entertaining.
"Are you predicting the rock's movent with that hook?"
"Blind strear, followed!"
Natsu-sensei's face turned red as he explained, "This move... this move is about calculating the hook's lead ti!"
"LOL, even Gold Miners can be this entertaining!"
"Strear, just let Eevee take over!"
Natsu-sensei suddenly had an epiphany. He patted Eevee's head and tentatively asked, "Eevee, why don't you try pressing this directional key?"
"Eevee."
Eevee, unimpressed, let out a yawn and casually swatted the keyboard with its paw.
The hook flew out, accurately hitting the most awkwardly positioned gem!
"OHHHHHHH!"
"Eevee is the real strear now!"
Natsu-sensei felt a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, I interrupted the strear's gaplay!"
Suddenly, the livestream lagged for a mont.
A string of question marks flooded the chat, and Natsu-sensei scratched his head. "Am I lagging?"
The chat was quickly overwheld with ssages like, "Thank you, boss!", "Big spender!", "The boss is going crazy!"
Natsu-sensei was slightly taken aback. He glanced at the gift section and perked up. "Thank you to 'Result: I'm First Again' for the ten Super Rockets! Boss, you're too generous!"
Despite his diocre gaplay, Natsu-sensei was still a popular strear.
Originally, Red was at the top of the leaderboard, and no one dared challenge his position.
But this wealthy boss just dropped ten Super Rockets out of nowhere?!
Natsu-sensei was just mining rocks, not even battling in the livestream!
What kind of strange hobby is it to enjoy watching soone mine rocks?!
Another wave of flashy effects followed. In just one minute, Steven sent another ten Super Rockets.
Natsu-sensei was so overwheld with gratitude that he could barely speak, grinning from ear to ear.
"Boss, you really don't have to! Everyone, type 'spend responsibly' in the chat! Seriously, no need to keep gifting!"
"Stop! Boss, spend responsibly!"
The livestream fans sighed in disappointnt.
"Boss, you're making a mistake!"
"Oh no, after making easy money, Natsu-sensei's gonna ghost us again!"
"Jumping straight to the top of the leaderboard! Boss, do you have so kind of interest in Natsu-sensei?!"
In Natsu-sensei's Fan Group:
Blue Oak was surprised. "This ID... could it be the Vice President of Devon Corporation?"
Red nodded thoughtfully. "It must be Mr. Steven... I didn't expect him to watch Natsu-sensei's livestreams."
"Your top spot on the leaderboard got taken, huh," Blue Oak said with a complicated expression, nudging Red. "Think about it... maybe you should gift your way back up?"
"Haha," Red glanced at Blue Oak. "I'm not stupid enough to compete with Mr. Steven in gifting."
Blue Oak chuckled awkwardly.
But... if even Mr. Steven is following Natsu-sensei's livestreams...
Blue Oak stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Could it be that Natsu-sensei has so kind of strategy... to gain Mr. Steven's approval?
Steven, being the rich heir he is, always strives to be first, even in gifting.
By the end of the afternoon, Natsu-sensei's wallet was significantly thicker.
But as he laughed, he suddenly realized sothing was off.
Wait a minute...
Isn't this just using the money I spent on the Dawn Stone to gift back?!
Natsu's mood beca subtle.
Still, after ending the stream, he made Steven a moderator and sent him an invitation to the fan group.
"What's this?" Steven asked.
"It's a discussion group. Everyone here is a fan, and we exchange ga manuscripts."
Natsu-sensei thought to himself.
Although, it might also just be Red's harem group...
"I see," Steven nodded thoughtfully.
"But... I rarely use social dia. Is that okay?"
"No problem."
Natsu-sensei chuckled. "It's like collecting stamps—one more won't hurt!"
"Collecting stamps?"
"Ah... never mind!"
Natsu-sensei nervously coughed.
Crap, I accidentally let my true thoughts slip!
[mber 'Result: I'm First Again' has joined the Chat Group.]
Old Man Wattson exclaid, "What the—! Isn't this the guy who's always stealing my spot on the score leaderboard?!"
Gold laughed. "Old man, you can't even beat him with cheats. You should be ashad!"
Blue Oak's eyebrow twitched as he coldly said, "This is the forr Champion of Hoenn. Show so respect!"
Gold stroked his chin and nodded. "Yeah... I know. Mr. Steven is a transfer Champion, while Blue Oak Senior was dethroned by Red Senior."
[Admin 'Blue Oak' has deleted a group mber's ssage.]
[Admin 'Blue Oak' has muted 'Gold' for 24 hours.]
Natsu was shocked.
That's so like you, Gold, saying what I've always wanted to say!
Lance: "Welco. @Steven"
Lance and Steven had faced off in the Master League before.
However, Steven, being obsessed with mining, didn't give his all in battles.
After all, Steven's peak achievent was using his ga tagross to go head-to-head with Primal Kyogre, which was several tiers above a certain unknown actress's record...
Steven looked at the chat interface, slightly puzzled.
Mr. Lance... is also a follower of this ga group?
The misunderstandings just keep piling up!
...
What followed was a series of "Welco, big shot!" and "Group status -1."
However, Steven rarely used social dia, so he quickly went into lurking mode.
Natsu also closed the chat interface.
Carrying Eevee by the scruff of its neck, he walked to the couch and placed the Dawn Stone next to the Calm Mind move manual.
"Well... that's pretty much the training thod," Natsu said, stroking his chin and nodding.
"If you don't understand, just ask !"
Natsu thought to himself.
If there's anything I don't get, I'll just ask Sabrina...
"Eevee..." Eevee's gaze was full of disdain.
Such a simple training thod—who do you think you're underestimating?
Haunter also pushed Natsu's shoulder, guiding him toward the kitchen while laughing and patting his back.
"Haunter!"
Just focus on cooking.
Leave the training to !
Natsu opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing but ultimately finding no excuse.
In the end, Natsu-sensei let out a humble sigh.
So it's not that I don't want to train...
It's that my Pokémon think I'm too weak!
