Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 10 The Little Kitchen Helper is Here!

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Pokémon came to the shop for a meal as usual. Most of them would bring one or two gifts with them, sometimes a flower, sometimes a berry, or sometimes a part of their body. No matter how small or big the gift was, Diancie would gladly accept it.

Following Munchlax's fur, Ange later received Meowth's nails, Dedona's whiskers, Bellsprout's roots, and Sudowoodo's skin fragments.

According to the Eye of Observation, they can all be used to make move learners.

Unfortunately, the equipment for making the move learning device was too expensive, and Anjie simply couldn't afford it.

Listening to the cheerful laughter of the Pokémon outside, Anjie hummed a little tune unconsciously while steaming buns.

Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from outside. Anjie's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened? He quickly peeked out from the door frame and saw a group of Pokémon huddled together with their heads down, looking at something and making noises as they looked.

What exactly happened? Anjie was extremely curious, but everyone was so tightly packed together that he couldn't see anything at all. Even Tianxi was there watching the commotion.

However, judging from Diancie's reaction, nothing bad should have happened.

Ok?

Gradually, Anjie seemed to notice wisps of blue-white light leaking out from the circle of people surrounding them.

That is……

Anjie's eyes widened.

"Fu~fu~~"

Suddenly a shout came, and Diancie pulled a brand new Pokémon out of the encirclement—a Butterfree!

It turns out that the pink butterfly that often comes to Anjie's house for meals has evolved!

The food made by Anjie has effects comparable to Pokémon food. These days, the Butterfree can eat its fill at Anjie's house every day. With enough energy accumulated, it naturally evolves.

Through his Eye of Observation, Ange looked at the pink butterfly pupa in Diancie's arms from afar, and its data naturally came into his view as well.

Chrysalis

[Attribute] Insect

【Characteristics】Shedding

[Gender] Female

[Level] 9

[Skills] Protect, Harden, Poison Powder, Insect Bite.

Individual Value

Blood volume: 5

Attack: 6

Physical defense: 9

Special Attack: 12

Special Defense: 17

Speed: 8

It has indeed reached the level where it can evolve, but its stats are very average.

After the butterfly evolved, everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere in the store became even more lively.

To celebrate the evolution of the white butterfly pupa, people even wanted to give their food to the white butterfly pupa. Unfortunately, the white butterfly pupa is a transitional form between the white butterfly and the rainbow butterfly. During this form, it will not eat except to drink some dew until it completes its evolution.

It must be said that the Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau are very united with each other. They rejoice in others' happy events and grieve in others' sorrows. If any Pokémon is in trouble, the other Pokémon will not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Angel loves the Nibel Plateau, loves the way the Pokémon interact here, and is also very grateful that the system placed his residence here.

Turning her gaze away from the pink butterfly chrysalis, Anjie opened her system interface, where the taskbar displayed:

Invite 50 Pokémon, for a period of 10 days. (50/50) - Completed, reward to be claimed.

As of today, his second task has also been completed, taking one day longer than expected, but five days ahead of the deadline set by the system.

An Jie accepted the reward without hesitation, and a pop-up window immediately appeared in the taskbar interface.

Congratulations, Master! You have received a reward: Constitution +1!

In an instant, Anjie felt a surge of power flowing into his body, and he felt that he could kill a Tauros with a single punch!

Haha~~ That's an exaggeration, that's an exaggeration.

Let's look at the personal information interface again.

Anjie

Race: human

Sex: Male

Age: 16 (+500)

Physical condition: 3

Intelligence: 2

Culinary skills rating: A complete novice, barely able to eat it.

My physique did increase slightly, but since there were no achievement rewards this time, my intelligence didn't increase.

Although Anjie hasn't figured out the role of intelligence yet, since the benefits of increasing constitution points are so obvious, intelligence points can't be completely useless.

We'll figure it out slowly later.

Next, let's look at the happiness points: 7900.

Anjie felt a little heartbroken that it was less than 1.

The morning passed quickly. Diancie saw the Pokémon off after breakfast, calling out to Litwick and the others, "Litwick, remember to bring Pancham and the others to help this afternoon!"

"Mmm~" Got it!

Candlelight Spirit responded loudly.

Tianxi was referring to asking the Candle Spirits to help plant vegetables. Although the plan was made a few days ago, Ange had to choose which vegetables to plant and which seeds to select, so it was delayed for a few days.

After spending a few days together, Diancie had become completely familiar with the Candle Spirits. Unfortunately, the Candle Spirits still seemed reserved, flustered, and even afraid when facing Ange.

After seeing the Pokémon off, Diancie started cleaning.

Anjie had already discussed with Tianxi that they would only be open in the morning from now on, and being busy for half a day would be enough. They could spend the other half of the day doing something else, or leisurely, carefree, and having fun.

He simply couldn't bear any hardship.

Tianxi was cleaning the hall outside, while Angie was cleaning the kitchen inside.

Just as he was about to put the unused dough into the refrigerator's crisper drawer, he turned around and saw a Pokémon standing not far away, staring intently at him.

Anjie was so startled that she almost dropped the dough in her hand.

Damn it, we've been found out!

"Snorlax, what are you doing here?"

To Ange's surprise, the little Snorlax wasn't afraid of him like the other Pokémon. Instead, it calmly tilted its head and asked:

"Gang~ Gangbi~" Are you human?

Unfortunately, Ange cannot understand Pokémon language.

"Angel? Snorlax? What are you doing?"

Just then, Tianxi brought the food bowl into the kitchen.

Anjie explained, "The little Snorlax somehow ended up in the kitchen."

Tianxi slapped her forehead. "I knew it! When we were seeing everyone off, I felt like someone was missing. Oh, it was you!"

"Gang~ Gang~~"

Snorlax grinned and then asked the same question again. This time, with Diancie acting as the translator, Ange finally understood.

"Yes, yes," he answered somewhat guiltily, afraid that he had scared the little Snorlax away.

"Gang~ Gang~ Gang~~" But everyone says that humans are bad guys who bully us.

The little Snorlax said, puzzled.

"G- ...

As it spoke, it moved closer to Anjie and sniffed.

"Wow, that smells amazing!"

Anjie had just finished steaming buns, and the aroma of the buns still lingered on his body. However, the aroma of buns was not very strong to begin with, and moreover, a while had passed since he finished steaming them. Yet, the little Snorlax could smell it easily.

Anjie was a little surprised; this little Snorlax had an incredibly keen sense of smell!

At this point, Tianxi explained on Anjie's behalf: "The steamed buns you eat every day are made by Anjie, so you still think he's a bad guy?"

Upon hearing Diancie's words, Snorlax's eyes immediately widened, shining even brighter than two light bulbs.

Is "G- ...

Anjie felt that there were stars in the eyes of the little Snorlax when it looked at her.

"Yes...yes." Anjie nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Gang~ Gang~" will cook delicious food, he's not a bad guy.

The little Snorlax answered with absolute certainty.

"Wow~ Wow~~" You're amazing! So amazing!

Anjie: Is this the belief of a foodie?

He seemed to see a hint of admiration in the little Snorlax's eyes.

Just then, Tianxi suddenly exclaimed, "Angel, there's a last-minute mission!"

Temporary task?

This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing!

"What is it? Let me see!" Anjie said quickly.

Tianxi walked over to Ange and showed him the quest acceptance pop-up.

Capture a Pokémon with culinary talent and make it your chef's assistant! Accept the challenge?

Be

no

A Pokémon with chef qualifications?

Anjie subconsciously looked at the little Snorlax across from him, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Could it be referring to Munchlax?

Yes, this temporary mission came at such a convenient time; it must be to help him catch Munchlax.

Come to think of it, there will definitely be more and more Pokémon coming to eat at the restaurant in the future. If he doesn't have any help, he'll be exhausted to death cooking all by himself.

It seems the system is quite thoughtful in its consideration of issues.

Accept!

Anjie made a decision.

At this moment, Munchlax was full of doubts. It couldn't see the system interface, but only saw Angel and Diancie gesturing wildly at the air. It almost thought that the person and the Pokémon were going crazy.

After accepting the task, he looked at Munchlax and asked, "Mumplax, would you like to stay and learn cooking from me?"

"Just now" learning cooking?

The little Snorlax looked puzzled.

"That's right!" Anjie nodded. "After you learn to cook from me, you can make delicious food yourself and cook it whenever you want."

As Anjie spoke, the little Snorlax's eyes shone brighter, and glistening drops of water appeared at the corners of its mouth. Its face was full of longing, as if it could already see itself showing off its culinary skills and then feasting.

"How about it? Want to come with me? You can eat your fill every day at my house, and you'll never have to go hungry again." Angie kept tempting the little Snorlax.

"Gun!!!" I want to learn how to cook!

The little Snorlax suddenly clenched its fist and said with a determined look.

Anjie looked delighted upon hearing this, "Once you've made a decision, you can't go back on it."

"Just now, just now!" No regrets!

The little Snorlax nodded emphatically.

"It's settled then. Please take care of me in the future." Anjie extended his right hand to the little Snorlax.

"Gang~"

Snorlax solemnly grasped Angel's hand.

The moment the person and their Pokémon clasped hands, the system task interface changed.

Capture a Pokémon with chef potential and make it your chef's assistant! — Completed, reward to be claimed.

Anjie, of course, accepted it without hesitation.

The system immediately displayed a prompt.

Congratulations, Master, you have received the temporary mission reward: Constitution +1, Individual Value +1, and the Culinary Training Room is now open.

Upon seeing the rewards, An Jie was stunned. He understood the +1 to physique, but what about the +1 to individual stats? And what about the opening of the culinary training room?

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of his personal information interface out of the corner of his eye. He saw that in addition to the happiness points and shop boxes below his personal information, there was a new "individual value" box that had appeared at some point, and it was displaying a single number "1".

Anjie subconsciously tapped the Individual Values ​​box, and a pop-up window immediately appeared on the Personal Information interface, displaying three options.

Diancie

Tree pillow koala

Snorlax.

The options for Diancie and Komaru are both off, while only the option for Snorlax is on.

He tried clicking on Diancie and Komaru, and unsurprisingly there was no response. But when he clicked on Munchlax, a pop-up window immediately appeared, displaying six options.

Blood volume: 29

Attack: 16

Physical defense: 20

Special Attack: 6

Special Defense: 10

Speed: 31

Clearly, Ange's guess was correct. These Individual Values ​​(IVs) are added to Pokémon. Diancie and Komaru can't be added because Diancie's six IVs are already maxed out, and Ange's Eye of Observation can't see Komaru's IVs.

"Tianci, come and take a look."

To make sure his guess was correct, Ange checked with Tianxi, and sure enough, his guess was spot on.

Since Diancie and Komaru can't increase IVs, these IVs will naturally be added to Munchlax, which is exactly what it got from Munchlax.

Thinking this, Anjie clicked on the Attack option. In an instant, the Individual Value (IV) column was cleared to zero, while the number in Munchlax's Attack IV column changed from 16 to 17.

Under the current observation, Pikachu's data is as follows:

Little Capbie

[Attribute] General

【Characteristics】Thick fat

[Gender] Male

[Level] 18

[Skills] Impact, Lick, Round, Recycle, Craving, Bite, Slam, Beg, Seed Bomb, Tiles Split, Double Payback.

Individual Value

Blood volume: 29

Attack: 17

Physical defense: 20

Special Attack: 6

Special Defense: 10

Speed: 31

In the darkness, the little Munchlax seemed to sense the changes in its body. It subconsciously clenched its fist, but not understanding what was happening, it simply put it out of its mind.

Not only have Munchlax's stats changed, but Ange's stats have also changed.

Anjie

Race: human

Sex: Male

Age: 16 (+500)

Physical condition: 4

Intelligence: 2

Culinary skills rating: A complete novice, barely able to eat it.

Looking at the bright number "4" in the physique column, Anjie burst into laughter in his heart.

"Haha~~ I've gotten stronger again!"

Oh, right, there's one more reward: the training room is now open!

Anjie quickly consulted the guide sprite, Diancie.

"Tianshi, what's a cooking training room?"

However, Diancie kept him in suspense.

"Clean up first, then I'll tell you!"

Left with no other choice, Anjie had to continue cleaning the kitchen.

The little Snorlax, feeling like a member of the family, rushed forward to help, but having never done it before, it had no idea where to begin.

Seeing its flustered movements, Anjie patted its head and said, "Little Snorlax, watch me first, learn carefully, and then you can try it yourself, okay?"
