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

I overpaid for buying it before Chapter 194!

Then Anja released the unconscious Darkrai.

Xerneas then cast a healing spell on it, and it soon woke up.

Looking at the Angel and Pokémon surrounding him, Darkrai asked:

"Dak~Dak~" Where is my tree pillow koala?

Ange spoke up, reminding him, "It's not your Komaru, it should be your Komaru Darkrai. Have you forgotten our agreement before the battle?"

Darkrai's face darkened upon hearing this.

Anjie reminded it, "Don't try to renege on your promise. You can try leaving my side and see if you can succeed."

Upon hearing this, Darkrai immediately scurried into the darkness.

Darkrai has the ability to lurk in the shadows and move freely within them.

But it was forced to surface again shortly after it entered the darkness.

Just as Anjie said, it simply couldn't stray too far from Anjie.

"How about that? I wasn't wrong, was I?" Anjie looked at it with a half-smile.

Poké Balls from ancient times in the Pokémon world did indeed have the effect of binding Pokémon, such as the one that bound Loko to her former owner's mansion for two hundred years.

However, as the relationship between modern Pokémon and humans has changed, the Poké Ball has lost its ability to restrain Pokémon.

However, this excludes Master Balls and some Poké Balls developed by individuals with ulterior motives.

Darkrai couldn't leave because he was bound by the Masterball.

After realizing he couldn't leave, Darkrai said in a very self-consoling way:

"Dark~ Dark~" I'm a Pokémon who keeps its promises, I don't want to leave!

It suddenly felt that staying by Anjie's side was quite nice. As long as it was with the tree-pillow koala, the tree-pillow koala would still be its own!

At this point, Anjie spoke up again: "Tell me, what exactly happened between you and the tree-pillow bear?"

Darkrai didn't think there was anything to hide. It was the one that raised the tree-pillow bear and nurtured it to become stronger, so what was wrong with it taking some reward from the tree-pillow bear?

However, after hearing Darkrai's story, Angel and the Pokémon were filled with righteous indignation. It was hard to imagine how much Komamura had suffered from dream-eating every day for the past hundred years.

"No wonder...no wonder..." No wonder the system had to punish Darkrai.

Like Cresselia, Darkrai has the ability to enter other people's dreams. If it wants to eat dreams, it only needs to sneak into other people's dreams and devour nightmares.

This way, it can not only get food, but also save others from nightmares, killing two birds with one stone.

There are plenty of people in this world who have nightmares every day, Darkrai has no shortage of food!

However, because it was picky, it deliberately used its own characteristics to create nightmares for the tree-pillow koala, and then devoured it by eating dreams.

This is... absolutely outrageous!

It seems that punishment is indeed necessary; Darkrai must be made to fully realize his mistake.

I need to think about this carefully when I get back.

"Let's go home," Anjie said.

As he spoke, he used a Master Ball to take Darkrai back.

"Gang~"

"Babu~"

Upon hearing this, Snorlax and Grubbish happily walked over to Anjay, took his hands on either side, and skipped and hopped home.

Other Pokémon followed closely behind.

Xiao Mei has been found, and the long-standing feud between the tree-pillow koalas has been resolved, putting everyone in a good mood.

Back on the Nibel Plateau, the Raven Leader, along with Dark Raven Mei and Little Strong, followed Yveltal back to the secret fortress.

Zergius and Porcanion went about their own business.

Anjie handed the tree-pillow koala in her arms to the throwing monkey and said, "You guys go play too."

"Pasci~" The throwing monkey happily carried the tree-pillow koala to the brewery.

At that moment, Shiba walked over and asked, "Have you found the Murloc?"

"Found it, it ran outside the Nibel Plateau," Anja said to Shiba with a smile, without mentioning Darkrai.

"It's good that we found it; thankfully, nothing bad happened," Shiba said with a sigh of relief.

Knowing that Shiba had been helping with the search, Anjie said gratefully, "Shiba, thank you."

Shiba patted Anjie on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Don't be so polite, we're friends, aren't we?"

Anjie smiled and said, "Yes, we are friends."

Since Murkrow was alright, Shiba went back to training, while Ange went to Munchlax's house.

However, when he arrived there it was almost 10 o'clock, so the Thousand-Faced Beast didn't let him into the kitchen.

Seeing the Thousand-Faced Beast bustling about in the kitchen in an orderly manner, Anjie couldn't help but feel gratified.

"Then you guys go ahead with your work. I'm going out to buy some things. We'll go home together when I get back."

"Indeed~~"

Thousand-Faced Escaper made an OK sign to Anjie.

"Then I'll head out." With that, Anjie walked out of the kitchen.

He was going out to buy pomelos, one of the ingredients needed for the "Honey Pomelo Tea" he had just received last night.

We've almost run out of pomelos at home, and if we don't buy some more, we'll probably be out of them soon.

As he walked through the hall, the guests were surprised to see Anjie appear and immediately greeted him warmly.

"Oh, boss, you're here? You didn't make breakfast today, I thought something had happened."

Anjie replied with a smile, "It's nothing serious, just a small problem at home that needs to be dealt with temporarily."

"That's good, it's good that you're alright."

"I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get to have breakfast made by the young owner today," another customer said.

Anjie laughed and said, "Then come again tomorrow. I'll definitely be there tomorrow. Besides, isn't the breakfast my Thousand-Faced Hermit makes delicious?"

"Hahaha~~ Delicious, delicious! Thousand-Faced Beast's cooking skills are top-notch." The customer replied with a hearty laugh.

Anjie said, "Then everyone, please take good care of our Thousand-Faced Escape Artist."

"Definitely, definitely!" the guests responded with smiles.

At this moment, another customer asked, "Hey boss, when will you start offering delivery service? Sometimes I really don't want to go out, but I really want to have a bite of your breakfast. It's such a dilemma for me."

And then there's Gengar's noodles. Sometimes I crave them, but I don't want to go out at night—it's such a dilemma!

"Yes, I've wanted to say this for a while now."

"Yes, Munchlax House is great in every way, except it doesn't offer delivery service."

"I really want to experience what it's like to be able to eat Snorlax's breakfast and noodles at home."

……

As soon as that customer made his comment about takeout, many other customers immediately chimed in.

Takeout... Anjie fell into deep thought. This is definitely something that could be done!

If there were delivery services, the store might not have to be so crowded every day.

As for the possibility that the store's business might become even more booming as a result, Anjie didn't care too much.

His business is already doing well enough; any better and he'll be too busy to handle it all.

"I will consider the food delivery service," Anjie told everyone.

Hearing this, the guests were delighted and started discussing the topic of takeout.

After chatting with the guests for a few minutes, Anjie went out.

Anjie arrived at the tree fruit market very quickly.

The Tree Fruit Market is a place in the royal city of Azot that specializes in selling tree fruits, and most tree fruit vendors gather here.

Because the fruit from their own trees is not yet ripe, Anjie often comes to buy it.

Upon seeing Anjie, one of the older women at a stall greeted him warmly:

"Oh my, isn't this our Princess Anjie? Here to buy tree fruits again?"

"Yes, Sister Moria," Ange nodded to the aunt.

"Oh my gosh~~~ Our Highness is still so sweet-talking." Moria was overjoyed to be called "sister" by Ange. "What kind of fruit does Your Highness want to buy? My pears are growing very well lately, would you like some?"

The Moria family specializes in growing pears.

Anjie waved her hand and said, "I haven't finished using the ones I bought from you last time."

Moria exclaimed in surprise, "It's been so long and it's still not finished?"

Anjie said helplessly, "Our family doesn't consume many pears."

Moria suddenly realized what was going on, and then she beckoned to Ange, "Your Highness, come here for a moment."

Angie walked over in confusion, only to see Moria stuff a bag into Angie's arms.

Under Ange's questioning gaze, Moria blinked and said, "Your Highness, please take it back and try it."

Anjie opened the bag and saw that it contained a bag of garnets.

Moria whispered in Angel's ear, "We planted some garnet trees at home before, and they're finally bearing fruit. I'm planning to test the waters, but don't tell Ryuji, okay?"

Anjie immediately understood, because Brother Longshi, who had a stall at the other end of the market, was selling garnets.

"I understand." Anjie nodded; he wouldn't participate in this kind of "business war."

Moria smiled upon hearing this and then asked, "Your Highness, what kind of tree fruit would you like to buy?"

Anjie replied, "Pomelo."

"Wenyouguo!" Moria pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's go to old man Ike's place. Let's not go to Otto's place; that guy is too shrewd."

There are two businesses selling pomelos in the fruit market: one is the Eike family, which has been in business for decades, and the other is the Otto family, which has only been around for a few years.

Moria grew up in the fruit market and knew everything about everyone.

Anjie looked surprised upon hearing this. "Is there something wrong with the pomelos from the Otto family?"

All of his previous pomelos were bought from Otto's store.

Moria said, "It's not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just that Otto kid is really good at business. He'd rather spend his time on making GG and packaging than improving the quality of the fruit."

Old Man Ai Ke's family is different. They've been growing fruit trees for decades, and the quality of their fruit has always been top-notch.

However, because that kid Otto is so good at teasing people, old man Ike's business hasn't been doing so well lately, it's really worrying.

Upon hearing this, Anjie suddenly realized that he had chosen Otto's company because he saw that Otto's company was releasing GG in the market. As for Ike's company, he had not paid any attention to it.

He hadn't been in the tree fruit market for long, so naturally he didn't know the intricacies involved.

Ange silently kept Moria's words in mind.

"By the way, does Sister Moria know where I can buy sweet treats?" Angie asked again.

Another key ingredient in honey grapefruit tea is sweet bees. Although Anjie's family already has three bees, it would be a bit difficult for them to make sweet bees immediately.

So Anjie plans to buy some to use first.

However, like the eggs of the sweet and jelly eggs, they are a high-end and rare ingredient, and are not easy to buy.

"Sweetie?" Moria looked at Ange in surprise. "That's hard to buy. I don't know either."

Anjie looked disappointed upon hearing this.

However, Moria added, "When you buy the pomelos, you can ask old man Ike; he might know."

Anjie: "Thank you for reminding me, Sister Moria."

Moria smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome. It's a pleasure to be of assistance to Your Highness."

After chatting with Moria for a few minutes, Angel walked toward Ike's stall.

The stalls of the Ike family and Moria's family were quite far apart; Angel needed to walk from the east side of the market all the way to the west side.

The stall owners along the way all knew Anjie, and they greeted him warmly. Many of them, like Moriah, insisted on giving Anjie some tree fruit to try.

When he arrived at Ike's stall, he already had several bags in his hands.

Just as Moria had said, Ike's stall was indeed rather deserted; not a single customer had come by all day.

As the stall owner, Ike could only take a nap on the chair, with a lazy cat curled up in his arms.

The cat's eyes were open, clearly indicating that it was keeping an eye on the stall for its owner.

Ike was a man in his seventies with gray hair and a completely bald head that looked shiny.

He was very thin and short, wearing a simple apron and holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

"Boss!" Angie called out to Ike.

Upon hearing the voice, Ike lifted his eyelids and looked surprised when he saw that it was Angel.

"Your Highness Anjie?" He clearly knew Anjie.

"It's me," Anjie said with a smile.

Ike quickly stood up from his chair, while the cat in his arms leaped up and landed lightly next to the tree fruits on the stall.

Meow Meow sat there, tilting her head, staring at Anjie with curious eyes.

"Why has Your Highness come?" Ike asked.

Anjie replied with a smile, "Of course I came here to buy pomelos!"

Ike was somewhat surprised to hear this, because recently his family's business had been almost completely taken over by the Otto family. Apart from some old customers with whom he had a very good relationship, there were almost no new customers.

"Can I see the fruit?" Angie asked again.

"Of course, of course, Your Highness, please come in." Ike said hurriedly.

Anjie nodded and then picked up a pomelo from the stall.

Compared to Otto's grapefruits, Ike's grapefruits don't look as good, and they're not as big as Otto's.

But when Anjie sniffed, she immediately felt a rich fruity aroma wafting towards her.

This is something that Otto's grapefruits do not possess.

Then he asked Ike, "Can I try some?"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, please feel free to try." Ike was a little hesitant in front of Ange, a member of the royal family.

Anjie nodded, wiped the fruit peel, and took a small bite.

In an instant, a rich fruity aroma and abundant juice flowed through his mouth. Moreover, Anjie also sensed that the energy contained within was absolutely incomparable to that of the Otto family's grapefruit.

At this moment, Anjie finally realized that he had overpaid for all the pomelos he had bought before!

What looks good on the outside may not be truly good.

Larger size does not necessarily mean higher quality.

Having experienced the benefits of the pomelos, Anjie said, "I'll take all the pomelos here!"

Anyway, he can store it in the system inventory and use it slowly.

"All...all included?" Ike's mouth dropped open in disbelief.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Anjie asked.

"No...no problem." Ike quickly shook his head.

It's more accurate to say that Anjie was a great help. If Anjie hadn't bought all these pomelos today, Ike would have had to pull them back.

"Your Highness, would you like me to deliver this to your door?" Ike asked.

"No need, I'll find someone to take it away," An Jie said, shaking her head.

His home wasn't in the capital, so it would be more convenient for Ike to deliver the goods himself than for Ike to deliver them to his door.

As she spoke, Angie dialed Jerami's number.

While waiting for Jerami to arrive, Ike expressed his gratitude to Anja, thanking Anja for buying all of his tree fruits in one go.

Even Meow Meow imitated Ike by bowing and making a gesture of respect to Anjie.

Seeing how cute the cat was, Anjie couldn't resist stroking its head and said, "What are you thanking me for? Your fruit is of such high quality, isn't it only natural that I buy more?"

Hearing this, Ike couldn't help but feel touched. Apart from a few old friends, it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like this.

In fact, his wife had been advising him to change the orchard's management model. Even if he didn't promote it as vigorously as Otto, he should at least adopt some technological means to make the fruit trees he cultivated look better.

But Ike insisted that if he followed Otto's methods, the quality of the fruit would definitely be affected, which was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

But the recent sluggish business has made him question whether his approach was right or wrong.

Anjie's words were like a shot in the arm for him, making him even more convinced that what he did was absolutely right!

Anjie then remembered that she hadn't asked about Sweetie yet, so she asked, "Boss, do you know where I can buy Sweetie?"

"Does Your Highness wish to buy some sweets?" Ike asked.

"Yes!" Anjie nodded.

Ike really knows where to find sweetness.

"My old friend Hadari keeps a few three-necked bees. She should have some sweet honeybees, but she has never sold them. I wonder if she would be willing to sell them to Your Highness."

Anjie said, "Tell me Ms. Hadali's address, and I'll go and see for myself."

Ike nodded, tore a page from his ledger, and wrote Hadali's address down for Anja.

"Thank you, boss." Anjie thanked Ike after taking the address.

Ike: "I hope Your Highness can successfully buy Sweetie."

Anjie smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

During their casual conversation, Jerami finally arrived in a small truck.

"Your Highness!" He waved and smiled as soon as he got out of the carriage. When he got closer, he asked, "Is this all the tree fruit we need to transport?"

Anjie nodded: "That's right."

Jeremy then asked, "Your Highness, is it really enough to just transport it to Munchlax's house? Or should I just send it directly to the Nibel Plateau?"

Anjie shook her head. "No need, just take it to the Munchlax House."

"Okay." Jerami looked slightly disappointed that he hadn't had a chance to show off.
