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

Chapter 155 The Exorbitantly Priced Equipment Can Finally Be Used

Anjay returned from cutting grass with Snorlax and Ember Spirit, only to find Dusknoir and Throwing Monkey standing at their doorstep.

"Where...did you come from?" Anjie asked in confusion.

Upon hearing Anjie's voice, the Night Demon, the Throwing Monkey, and ten Potpots all looked over at the same time.

The throwing monkey and the night demon were not surprised by Anja's appearance, because their good friend had told them that it was living with humans.

This must be the person in front of me.

"Passie~Passie~" Are you Anjie?

"The throwing monkey asked."

Anjie was taken aback by the question, "You know me?"

The throwing monkey, the Night Demon, and 10 pots all nodded simultaneously.

"Yo-hoo~ Yo-hoo~" That's what our good friend told us.

"The Night Demon explained."

"Who is your best friend?" Anjie asked, puzzled.

"Passi~Passi~" is the tree-pillow koala!

The throwing monkey answered.

But then it belatedly asked, "Passie~Passie~" Can you understand us?

Anjie nodded and said, "Yes!"

After exchanging a glance, the Throwing Monkey and the Night Demon looked at Anjie with curiosity in their eyes.

At this moment, Angie seemed to realize who Throwing Monkey and Night Demon were, and he guessed, "Could you be... the drinking buddies of Tree Pillow Koala?"

The throwing monkey asked in confusion, "Pasci~" Drinking buddy? What's a drinking buddy?

Anjie explained, "They're just friends I drink with."

Upon hearing this, Throwing Monkey and Night Demon nodded repeatedly, and Throwing Monkey excitedly said:

"Passie~Passie~" Yes, yes, we and our good friend are drinking buddies.

Strictly speaking, only Throwing Monkey and Tree Pillow Koala are drinking buddies. Night Demon doesn't like drinking; it only got to know Tree Pillow Koala because it lived with Throwing Monkey.

The throwing monkey's hobby is brewing wine, and the tree-pillow koala got to know it because it was attracted by the delicious wine it brewed.

Anjie smiled and beckoned to the Night Demon, Throwing Monkey, and Potpot, saying, "Since you're friends of the Koala, come on in. The Koala is probably sleeping right now!"

Seeing that Anjie was so kind, the Night Demon and the Throwing Monkey breathed a sigh of relief and followed him into the square.

Snorlax and Ember Spirit walked along, observing Dusknoir and the others. When Dusknoir and Throwing Monkey noticed their little actions, Snorlax would grin and give them a friendly smile, while Ember Spirit would mischievously wink at them.

The friendly attitude of the two Pokémon made Dusknoir and Throwing Monkey feel more relaxed.

Anjie returned to the doorway, lifted the curtain of the tree pillow koala's hut, and sure enough, saw it fast asleep.

Anjie called softly, "Tree pillow koala, wake up! Your friends are here!"

However, the tree-pillow koala didn't react at all. It just smacked its lips, rolled over, and then tugged at its little blanket to continue sleeping.

Anjie turned back to the Night Demon and the Tree Pillow Bear with a sigh and said, "It's probably too late to wake it up now. You two come inside with me."

The Night Demon and the Throwing Monkey nodded.

After entering the house, Anjie said, "You should put all the pots down. You must be tired from carrying them all this time."

The Night Demon and the Throwing Monkey obediently put down the pots and untied the vines binding them, as the pots were uncomfortable being tied up like that.

Hearing the commotion, Tianxi came downstairs.

"Anjie, come back..."

Before it could finish speaking, several unfamiliar Pokémon appeared in the room.

"We have guests!"

Anjie nodded and said, "Yes, it's a friend of the tree-pillow koala."

"Oh, I see!" Diancie exclaimed, suddenly understanding. "Would you like me to get you something to drink?"

Anjie nodded. "There's some juice that Mayana squeezed earlier in the fridge. Bring it over."

Tianxi nodded and went into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Snorlax and Lizard also brought the freshly cut emerald green grass into the kitchen, and also took Anjay's basket with them.

Anjie beckoned to the Night Demon and the Throwing Monkey, saying, "You two should sit down and rest."

Upon hearing this, the two Pokémon sat down on the chairs in front of them, and soon Diancie brought them and Shuttle some refreshing and delicious juice.

After placing the juice in front of the throwing monkeys, Tianxi tugged at Ange's sleeve and whispered, "There's a mission!"

Is there a mission at this time? Anjie glanced at the Throwing Monkey and the Night Demon subconsciously, guessing that the new mission might be related to them.

"I accepted it."

Anjie then opened the system and saw that the newly added task was indeed related to throwing monkeys.

[Taming Quest] Tame the Throwing Monkey - To be completed.

The task is very simple.

This is the second Pokémon that the system has asked Angel to capture, besides Munchlax.

Could the throwing monkey also have a talent for cooking?

At this moment, the Night Demon, the Throwing Monkey, and the Pot Pots were curiously observing everything in Ange's house.

Anjie thought for a moment, then sat down opposite them and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly come here? Did you come specifically to see the tree-pillow bear?"

The two Pokémon looked at each other, then Dusknoir nudged Throwmonkey, and Throwmonkey finally spoke up to explain why.

"Pashi~Pashi~Pashi~" A terrible disaster has occurred in the forest where we live, and it is no longer habitable. We have come to seek refuge with our good friends.

"I see." Anjie suddenly realized. "I can take you in."

Upon hearing Anja's words, Throwing Monkey, Night Demon, and Potpots showed surprise and delight.

"However, I have one condition," Anjie said.

"Percy~"

"Yo-ho~"

The Night Demon and the Throwing Monkey looked puzzled.

Anjay continued, "I want to use Monkey as my Pokémon and learn to cook with me."

Learning to cook? The throwing monkey was even more confused. What was cooking? It voiced its question.

Anjie thought for a moment and explained, "Cooking skills are the techniques used to make food taste better."

The throwing monkey seemed to understand, but was this really something it could learn?

Anjie then asked, "Throwing Monkey, would you like to learn cooking?"

"Pasie~" I don't know.

The throwing monkey shook its head, looking completely bewildered.

"Passie~Passie~" Rather than learning to cook, I'd rather study how to brew wine.

Upon hearing what the throwing monkey said, Anjie's eyes lit up. This was it! He finally understood why the system had asked him to capture the throwing monkey.

This throwing monkey might have a talent for brewing wine, but brewing is a blind spot for him.

Thinking about the expensive brewing equipment he had at home, a reward from the system, Anjie became even more convinced of why the system wanted him to tame the throwing monkey.

"Okay, you don't have to learn cooking. You can be my Pokémon, and I'll teach you how to brew wine!" Angie said, suppressing his excitement.

To be precise, the culinary training room will teach him, as long as he can unlock the brewing process.

Since the system requires him to capture the Throwing Monkey, it will definitely unlock the brewing technique, right?

Anjie was able to understand the system's nature to some extent.

Upon hearing Anjie's words, Throwing Monkey thought: Is there really such a good thing?

It knew that human brewing techniques were very advanced, and it would be more than happy to learn them from the person in front of it!

"Passi~Passi~" I want to learn brewing! I want to learn brewing!

"Throwing Monkey said impatiently, afraid that Anjie would regret it."

Anjie smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, and extended his hand to the throwing monkey, saying, "Then we'll have to work together from now on!"

"Passi~Passi~" Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!

The throwing monkey excitedly grasped Anjie's hand.

At the same time, Anjie received a system notification, which undoubtedly meant that the task he had just completed was finished.

Catching a Pokémon doesn't necessarily mean putting it into a Poké Ball. As long as the Pokémon genuinely accepts you, that's also a successful capture.

Anjie checked the time and saw that it was getting late, so he asked the Night Demon, the Throwing Monkey, and the 10 Pot Pots:

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat!"

The Night Demon, the Throwing Monkey, and the Potpots were a little embarrassed; they'd just arrived and were already eating and drinking for free... it was really a bit...

Anjie smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. You are now part of our Nibel Plateau family. If you need anything or have any requests in the future, feel free to tell me."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, whether I agree or not is another matter."

Then Anjie went to the kitchen and brought each of the throwing monkeys a bowl of cold noodles.

In the afternoon, while Gengar was preparing for his work that evening, Ange casually mentioned that he wanted to eat cold noodles. Gengar then made a few bowls and put them in the refrigerator. Not only was there some for Ange, but also for Diancie and Magearna.

But let the throwing monkeys eat for now.

Unsurprisingly, the Minions' stomachs were immediately won over by Gengar's culinary skills.

They had never eaten such delicious food before.

Seeing the throwing monkeys enjoying their food, Anjie said, "The food you're eating now is made using culinary skills. Isn't it delicious?"

Throwing Monkey, Night Demon, and Potpots all nodded in agreement.

Anjie then asked the throwing monkey, "So, do you have any thoughts about learning to cook? If you learn to cook, you can make delicious food for yourself anytime."

However, the throwing monkey shook its head. The food in front of it was indeed delicious, but it could not shake its determination to study brewing.

Upon seeing this, Ange praised Throwing Monkey, saying, "Not bad, it has determination and is a Pokémon capable of great things."

To go far in anything you do, you need perseverance, persistence, and determination.

"Pasci~Pasci~" The throwing monkey was a little embarrassed by Anjie's praise.

While the throwing monkeys were eating, Anjie used his Observation Eye to check their data.

Throwing Monkey

【Characteristics】Unwilling to admit defeat

[Gender] Male

The data is average, but that's normal. It's impossible for everyone to be as good as Bupport and Mareep!

After the throwing monkeys had eaten their fill, Ange called over Tianxi and Magiana and asked them to arrange accommodations for the throwing monkeys, the Night Demon, and the Potpot.

Since the Monkey Thrower is going to practice brewing wine in the culinary training room, he will naturally stay at Anjie's house.

As for the Night Demon and the Pots, they naturally went to live in the staff dormitory!

As for Anja, he took his two apprentices to cook for the Pokémon.

Snorlax and Lizard make regular food, while Angelie makes fish food for the fish Pokémon and green rice dumplings for the Goat, Lamb, and Miltank.

The light-bodied cod, goldfish king, carp king, and pufferfish consume too much fish food; they have already eaten all of Angie's food.

Of course, the more they eat, the more training they receive, and Anjie can feel them getting stronger every day.

Although there were still some green rice dumplings left, they were running low, so Anjie decided to make more along with the fish food.

Since eating grass, Anjie could clearly feel that the milk production of his riding goats and the big milk tanks had increased, and the quality of the milk had also improved significantly.

The happiest person about this is Magiana, as she consumes a lot of grass, goat milk, and moo-moo milk when making desserts.

The improved quality of goat milk and cow milk makes desserts taste even better.

Night Demon and Pot Pot are on their side.

After being taken to the staff dormitory, the Night Demon looked at the empty dormitory and couldn't help but ask Maya:

"Yo-ho~ Yo-ho~" Are we the only ones living here?

Despite its large size and Ghost-type Pokémon status, Dusknoir is actually terrified of loneliness and ghosts.

"du~ki~du~" How could that be? Look at those doors with signs, those are all places where Pokémon live.

Magiana pointed them out to the Night Demon one by one.

"du~ki~du~" But everyone is either at work or out having fun right now, so no one is home!

"Yo-ho~~~"

Hearing this, the Night Demon breathed a sigh of relief.

"Duki~" You and Koko can choose a room too. You can choose any room that is empty.

"Yo-ho~" The Night Demon nodded upon hearing this, its gaze sweeping over the rooms it passed along the way.

The doors to empty rooms are usually open.

Magiana asked again, "du~ki~du~" Pot Pot, are you going to live with the Night Demon?

Before the pots could speak, the Night Demon answered for them.

"Yo-ho~ Yo-ho~" Let's do it together!

It doesn't want to live alone; it's scared.

Magiana looked at the pots, and the pots smiled and nodded at her.

"Alright then, you'll have to choose a spacious room," Magiana said.

The Night Demon is already a big guy, and with 10 pots added, the room isn't very big, so it's not very comfortable to stay in.

Night Demon and Pot Pot nodded in agreement, and then continued to choose a room.

Soon, at Magearna's suggestion, Dusknoir and Shuckle chose their favorite room. The room was not only spacious, but also had small beds shaped like little nests, which was just right for a Pokémon of Shuckle's size to sleep in.

After choosing their rooms, Magia took them to Greninja to select living supplies.

The Night Demon never expected its good friend's accommodations to be so good. It was filled with regret, wishing it had come to stay with its good friend sooner.

At the convenience store and general store, Night Demon and Shuttle met the Red Fox and Greninja, and the two guardians warmly welcomed their new companions.

The Night Demon loved excitement and was delighted to make new friends. It quickly became familiar with the two guardians.

It seems that Night Demon is quite the social butterfly.
