Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Novel website, Video webite? Let's Go Celestial Pokémon Animation!!!!

Naturally, Caterpie couldn't actually evolve into Rayquaza.

Rayquaza was a legendary Pokémon, after all.

Putting aside whether he could even create it, there was supposed to be only one of each legendary Pokémon. For now, they definitely weren't suitable for a gacha pool.

Watching the chat fill with excitement as everyone clamored to draw for Caterpie, intrigued by the notion of its "final evolution," Nate's lips curved into a slight smile. Plan successful!

Sigma Male: "Since everyone's so eager to draw, let's update the pool now."

Perfect timing to capitalize on their enthusiasm-driven "harvest."

Using his developer privileges, Nate forced the update for all of Fairy Tail's testers and over a hundred other players.

For a brief moment, the chat fell silent.

After a few seconds, as connections reestablished, the group chat sprang back to life.

Bickslow: "Let the pulls begin!!"

Everyone joined in, excitedly cheering as they began drawing. Watching this scene, Nate couldn't help feeling a surge of satisfaction.

Such a lively harvest!

He suddenly felt the urge to watch them draw in real-time.

With that thought, Nate left his apartment.

...

Ten minutes later, Nate arrived outside the guild.

Instead of walking straight in, he stopped at a nearby open-air café. From there, he witnessed an unexpected scene.

Lucy, her parallel version, Erza, Juvia, Ultear, Meredy, and Cana—all seven of them were seated together under a single parasol, each completely absorbed in drawing from the gacha.

What was this?

Nate wondered if approaching them would trigger an intense situation.

He could ignore parallel Lucy, Meredy, and Cana, but with the other four... he had a history with each of them, and they were his girlfriends in every sense.

While Juvia and Ultear knew, neither Lucy nor Erza was aware he was seeing multiple people.

With everyone so focused on their draws, no one had noticed him yet. Deciding it was best not to disturb them, Nate was about to turn and leave when he spotted Levy.

Levy was practically skipping with excitement, but when she saw Nate, her eyes lit up.

"Mas—"

"Shh!"

In one quick motion, Nate closed the distance and covered her mouth.

Calling out could disrupt everyone's gacha pulls.

Not that he minded, but he didn't need any added complications right now.

Levy blinked, then looked over his shoulder, spotting Erza and the others at the café. A mischievous smile crept across her face.

She nodded, indicating she wouldn't call out.

Nate released her, and Levy immediately whispered, "So, Master, who exactly are your girlfriends?"

No, the normal question should have been "who," not "who all"! What kind of question was that?

Nate grabbed her hand, ready to leave, but Levy followed cheerfully, saying, "Let me guess—Lucy, Erza, Ultear, Juvia, and Mirajane."

"Wow, Master, you're amazing!"

"I thought you were only juggling Mirajane and Erza, but I never would've guessed..."

Nate shot her a look and replied calmly, "Sounds like I haven't given you enough assignments. And stop making things up."

"It's not made up! I saw the logs earlier!"

"They were just lucky," Nate replied, attempting to brush it off.

Levy gave him a playful look that clearly read, 'I don't believe you.'

"I promise, Master," she said with a grin, "your secret's safe with me!"

Then, she extended her hand.

"What's this?"

"A little hush money, of course. I want Golden Tickets too!"

Levy's eyes sparkled with mischief. "How about a few from you, Master?"

His student was trying to harvest him?

With a sigh, Nate opened his control panel and gifted her 200 Golden Tickets.

"This stays between us. Just the two of us. Got it?"

Levy's eyes lit up as she nodded vigorously, "Absolutely! I'm totally on your side, Master!"

Nate could only hope she wouldn't go around spilling the secret. He gave her a pointed look and pulled her further from his gathering of girlfriends.

"Master!" she chirped.

"I'm not taking these tickets for free, you know. How about I help you gather some intel?"

Just admit you're curious, aren't you?

Nate could see the eager curiosity in her eyes.

"Speaking of, did you finish that last assignment I gave you?"

"Are you talking about the 'novel website'?"

Levy nodded, realizing Nate was steering the conversation but went along with it. "I was just about to report, Master—take a look."

She opened her Magic Net and proudly showed him her recent work.

Though she was his "writing apprentice," Nate thought of her as a dedicated helper. He hadn't held back in teaching her, guiding her in coding with full seriousness. Now, seeing her completed site, Nate felt a twinge of pride.

The site itself looked... a bit retro, almost like an old-school message board, with minimal aesthetic polish. But technically, it was a functional novel website.

"Not bad," Nate praised. "Seems all that guidance paid off—you've got a good foundation."

"Thank you, Master!" Levy grinned. "Coding is really fun! I'd like to try making a game too!"

Nate considered it briefly and replied, "Send me the site's source code, and I'll help polish it. As for a game, hold that thought—why not try building a video site first?"

"Video?" Levy was puzzled but intrigued. "You mean... like a movie site?"

"Movies?"

This time, Nate was the one surprised. Movies existed in this world?

"Yeah! Magnolia even has a theater. Are you planning to bring movies to Magic Net?" Levy's face lit up at the idea. Watching movies was an expensive treat; if it could be brought online, it'd be fantastic.

Nate thought it over. How had he missed this? Then again, in a magic-driven world, maybe movies didn't need special effects; real magic could cover everything.

"Where's the theater? Let's check it out," Nate suggested.

Levy's cheeks turned pink. Going to see a movie together felt a lot like a date. But, it was research for bringing movies to Magic Net—definitely just for work!

"I'll take you there, Master!"

Before long, the two arrived at the movie theater and settled in to watch a film.

The theater used a device called an "image magic crystal," an incredibly expensive magic item functioning much like a projector, but without a screen. It projected images directly into the air, though the resolution likely fell below even 720p.

The movie they watched, 'Love in the Snowy Mountains,' was a popular romance film. To Nate, it was dull enough to nearly put him to sleep, but Levy was completely absorbed.

At the scene where the leads finally braved the snowy mountain and shared a long-awaited kiss, Levy's cheeks flushed, though she wore a faintly disdainful expression. Nate chuckled to himself; she was clearly a romantic at heart but likely inexperienced.

Although the movie was boring, its "special effects" were stunning. In truth, they weren't effects at all—they were actual magic, likely performed by mages hired specifically for the production.

As the credits rolled, Nate made a decision.

"Alright, you're building a video site."

"Master, so these 'videos' you mentioned are like movies, right?" Levy asked, curious about the distinction.

"They're similar, but with some differences."

Nate smiled, "You work on the video site, and I'll start producing an animation—'Celestial Pokémon: The Original Series!'"

The game was on track; now, it was time to expand into animation.

It was all for one goal: selling more cards!
