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

Chapter 195 They were too lonely

Then Anja and Jeramy worked together to load baskets of tree fruit onto the truck.

Just then, Anjie suddenly remembered that the two clay dolls were inside his Poké Ball and he was carrying them with him.

So he took out a Poké Ball and released the two clay dolls, intending for them to help carry the berries.

Darkrai is also on Ange, but it would be inconvenient to release Darkrai.

After the two clay figurines came out, they looked at Anjie cautiously, as if afraid that Anjie was still angry with them.

"What are you all standing there for? Help me load the fruit onto the truck!" Anjie said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the two clay figurines immediately ran over and obediently got to work, not daring to utter a single word.

Jerami, who was moving tree fruits, glanced at the two clay figurines in surprise.

His Highness Ange has always been gentle with Pokémon; this is the first time he has seen His Highness so fierce.

Did the two clay figurines commit some serious crime?

To please Anjie, the two clay figurines worked very efficiently, and in no time they had loaded all the fruit onto the cart.

After they finished moving, the two dogs circled around Anjie like two little dogs. If they had tails, Anjie suspected they would have wagged their tails vigorously at him.

Anjie finally couldn't help but laugh at the two of them.

Having learned what had happened, Ange knew that the root of the problem lay with Darkrai, and the two clay figures were merely following orders.

For the clueless and naive clay figures, Darkrai's orders were something they could not refuse.

"Your Highness, I'll be going now!" Jerami, who was already in the car, stuck his head out of the window and said to Anja.

"Go ahead!" Anjie waved to him.

After Jerami left, Angel paid Ike back the money he had spent on the tree fruit.

After paying, he planned to visit Ms. Hadari's house.

According to the address given by Ike, Lady Hadari did not live in the royal city, but in the village of Qingmang outside the city.

After saying goodbye to Ike, Angie walked out of the tree fruit market.

The two clay figurines stared at Anjie's retreating figure, unsure whether they should follow.

What should we do? Is Anjie going to abandon them? The clay figurines looked miserable.

At this moment, Anjie suddenly turned around and said to them with a stern face, "Aren't you going to follow us? Do you want me to go and fetch you?"

"Damn it~"

"Damn it~"

Upon hearing this, the two clay figurines exchanged a glance, their faces breaking into bright smiles, and then they happily chased after Anjie.

After leaving the fruit market, Anjie took the two clay figurines and boarded the cable car out of the city. They soon arrived at the city gate.

Qingmang Village is not far from the royal city. As soon as he left the city gate, Anjie could see the village in the distance, so he took the two clay figurines and walked towards the village.

The two clay figurines on the road kept glancing at Anjie, as if they were doing something wrong.

Anjie glanced at them and said coldly, "Speak your mind."

"Tsk tsk~" Anjie, are you still angry?

One of the clay figurines asked timidly.

Anjie said, "Shouldn't I be angry?"

Seeing Anjie's angry expression, the two clay figurines were immediately at a loss.

Seeing them like this, Anjie's anger dissipated.

Honestly, why is he arguing with two kids?

However, there are some things that need to be said beforehand.

"Tell me, have I been good to you since you came to the Nibel Plateau?" Anjie asked.

"Damn it~" Hmm, okay!

"Damn it~" That's great.

The two clay figurines nodded at the same time.

Ange continued, "Although I haven't said it explicitly, I've long considered you all as part of the Nibel Plateau."

Hearing this, the two Pokémon were deeply moved.

"But how did you repay me?" Anjie's tone suddenly turned stern.

"Megatsu~~Megatsu~~" But...but...that was Lord Darkrai's order.

The clay figurines were almost in tears.

Anja continued coldly, "You just do what Darkrai tells you to do?"

"Megatsu~~" That's Lord Darkrai!

"That's what the other clay figurine said."

"Darkrai is out of the question too," Ange shouted. "You must all remember one thing: never hurt your comrades."

The two clay figurines nodded repeatedly.

"Whatever Darkrai asks you to do next time, will you still do it?" Ange's tone finally softened.

The two clay figurines shook their heads repeatedly.

"That's a good child." Anjie patted the heads of the two clay figurines with a smile.

"Tsk tsk~" Anjie... are you still angry?

The clay figure asked the same question again.

Anjie said with a smile, "As long as you behave well, I won't be angry."

"Megatsu~ Megatsu~" Listen to me, I'll listen to you!

"Meat-cheep~ Mee-cheep~" I'm obedient, I'm the most obedient.

The two clay figurines immediately jumped and hopped happily on the spot.

Having received Angel's forgiveness, the two Pokémon regained their lively personalities, and the atmosphere along the way finally became much more relaxed.

They happily chased after butterflies in the grass and ran up the hillside to pick wildflowers.

Before they knew it, Anjie and his group had arrived at the entrance of Qingmang Village.

At the village entrance, a group of children were playing. They were in a circle, and in the center of the circle, two children were each directing an Iron-Armed Shrimp and an Ice Baby in a battle.

The other children were all excitedly cheering for their favorite Pokémon.

Anjie went over to take a look, just as Bingbao was knocked down by Iron Arm Shrimp with a water gun.

The children who supported the Iron-Armed Shrimp cheered excitedly.

At this moment, someone noticed Angie and asked curiously, "Big brother, are you a trainer too? Want to battle us?"

Anja shook his head. "I'm not a trainer, nor am I here to battle you. I'm here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" a child asked. "Who?"

Anjie replied, "Ms. Hadari, does anyone here have the opportunity to show me the way?"

The children looked at each other, and then the tallest and strongest boy among them stepped forward and said:

"Big brother, if you fight us once and beat us, I'll take you there."

He's getting tired of playing against the village kids every day.

Anjie said helplessly, "I've already told you, I'm really not a trainer."

The boy said with disbelief, "Big brother, stop hiding it. Look, you have two Pokémon with you. You still say you're not a trainer?"

He pointed at the clay figurine with an expression that said, "I've seen right through you."

Anjie: ...

Suddenly, the boy seemed to have thought of something, and said slyly:

"Big brother... are you not good enough?"

Anjie: (-"-Angry)

"Alright, alright, today I'll bully you kids and show you what it means to be tough. Who wants to go first?"

The burly young man leading the group stepped forward and declared, "Of course it's me!"

As he spoke, he took out a Poké Ball and released a Hawkman.

"Yo ho, it's the Hawkman wrestler, not bad," Anja said.

Compared to other children's Pokémon that haven't evolved yet, Hawlucha definitely has an advantage.

The burly young man puffed out his chest proudly, "That's right, Hawkman is my best buddy!"

"Chirp~"

The Hawkman immediately puffed out his chest proudly, revealing the same expression as the burly boy.

Anjie waved to them, "Come here!"

The burly boy was taken aback. "Big brother, where are your Pokémon?"

Anjie shook his index finger dismissively, "I don't need Pokémon to deal with kids."

The burly boy immediately got angry upon hearing this. "Big brother, are you looking down on me?"

Anjie shook her head. "No, I'm just telling the truth."

Upon hearing this, the burly young man became even angrier and immediately commanded the Hawkman to shout, "Hawkman, let him know how powerful we are!"

"Chirp~~"

The Hawkman yelled and raised a glowing claw to attack Anja.

It uses the fighting-style move, bare-handed chop.

However, Anjay slightly shifted her body, skillfully dodging the Hawkman's attack, and then grabbed the Hawkman's wrist.

After an over-the-shoulder throw, the Hawkman lay motionless on the ground.

The children were all dumbfounded.

"Who else?" Anjie asked, hands on her hips.

After spending a lot of time with Pokémon, Angela has become more childlike.

Hehehe~ It feels so good to bully kids!

"Me! Me! Me!"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

……

Suddenly, all the children wanted to duel with Anjie.

Ten minutes later, the children were all crestfallen, holding their unconscious Pokémon. Anjai could take them down one by one with a single punch, and it didn't even take a minute to deal with one.

"Come on, come on~~" Ange took out MooMoo Milk and fed each of the children's Pokémon a sip. Soon, all the Pokémon woke up. "Now you can take me to find Ms. Hattori, right?"

"Alright, follow me." The burly young man said to Anjie as they walked into the village.

Goodbye, big brother.

Seeing that Anjie was about to leave, the children waved goodbye to her.

Upon entering the village, the villagers, seeing Anjie's unfamiliar face, curiously asked the burly young man:

"Heiichiro, who's that handsome young man? Is he a relative of yours?"

The strong young man, Heiichiro, replied, "No, he said he was looking for Grandma Hadari, and I led the way for him."

"Oh, okay? Then go quickly!"

Led by Heiichiro, Anjie arrived at the westernmost part of the village, where there were no other residents, only a small courtyard.

There is a flower bed at the entrance of the courtyard, with various flowers in full bloom, which shows that it has been carefully taken care of.

Two colorful butterflies fluttered above the flowerbed, one with a courtyard pattern and the other with an elegant pattern.

Before even approaching the courtyard, Heiichiro stopped and pointed to it, saying to Anjie:

"Look, big brother, that's Grandma Hadari's house. Grandma Hadari doesn't like people coming near her house, so you can go there by yourself from here on out!"

After saying that, he ran away with the Hawkman.

It turns out that Hadari is a rather reclusive old woman who doesn't like to interact with people. Apart from a few old friends like Ekko, she usually lives with her Pokémon.

She has neither a partner nor children.

Some people might think she's lonely and miserable, but she doesn't feel that way at all. With her Pokémon by her side, she feels happy every day.

Besides, she's not short of money.

The gate to the courtyard was open, and Anjie could hear bursts of laughter coming from inside.

He peeked inside and saw an old woman playing in the yard, holding a walking grass and a hibiscus.

As Anjie approached the courtyard, the butterflies in the flowerbed outside quickly flew into the yard and looked at Anjie with wary eyes.

"Um...Ms. Hadari," Anjie said.

Hadali was startled by Anja's sudden voice, and the smile on her face instantly vanished.

"Who are you? Do you need something?" Hadali asked coldly.

"My name is Angie, and I'm from the royal city," Angie introduced herself, then added, "I wanted to buy some sweets, so Mr. Ike recommended this place to me."

Hearing Ike's name, Hadali's expression relaxed considerably.

It's no wonder she's wary; as an elderly person living alone, her biggest fear is encountering bad people.

However, with the Pokémon protecting her, she wasn't particularly afraid of bad guys.

"Honestly, that guy Ike, doesn't he know I never sell my sweet treats to outsiders?" Hadari complained, glancing at Angie as she spoke. "Come in."

"Thank you." Anjie said thank you and then walked into the courtyard with the two clay figurines.

The two clay figurines immediately started playing with the two colorful butterflies, they were really friendly with each other.

Hadali invited Anjai into the house and said, "Please sit down."

Anjie nodded, sat down at the table, and quietly looked around at the furnishings in the room.

The interior decoration was simple, but the balcony was filled with flower pots, which contained many flowers and plants that Anjie did not recognize.

The vases in the room were also filled with beautiful flowers, and it was clear at a glance that Ms. Hadari had a background in flower arranging.

Although Ms. Hadari lives alone, the decorations in her house show that she is a person who loves life very much and does not live a life of mediocrity just because she is alone.

"Would you like something to drink?" Hadali asked.

Anjie shook her head. "You should stop working on this."

Hadali ignored Anjie, made herself a cup of herbal tea and placed it in front of Anjie, then sat down opposite her.

As she gently stroked the petals of the night-blooming cereus beside her, she said, "My sweet treats are never sold to outsiders, you know that?"

Anjie nodded and said, "I know, Mr. Ike told me, but I still want to give it a try."

"Hmph~" Hadali snorted coldly, "Stubborn brat."

After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly said, "If you want me to sell you some sweet treats, that's not out of the question..."

Anjie's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. "What do you need?"

Hadali said, "My three bees have been having a poor appetite lately, so they're not feeling well. I'll sell them to you if you can cheer them up."

Anjie asked, "Do you know why?"

Hadali sighed deeply upon hearing this, "They tend to do this every spring."

It turns out that Hadali's bees only had males and no females, let alone a queen bee. Every spring, the male bees would feel very lonely, lose their appetite, and even lose the desire to collect nectar and make honey.

"Is that so..."

Anjie was helpless; there was nothing he could do to help. He couldn't very well ask him to bring his own female three-necked bees to keep Hadali's three-necked bees company, could he? He wouldn't do that.

But since they have a poor appetite... let's make something that will stimulate their appetite!

After much deliberation, Anjie decided to try the honey grapefruit tea that the system had recently rewarded him with.

I just don't know if Ms. Hadali would be willing to give him a little sweetness in advance.

After thinking about it, Anjie decided to ask.

"Ms. Hadali, could I have a little sweetness in advance?"

Hadali asked, "Are you trying to use honey to solve the problem of the three bees' loss of appetite?"

The three honeybees' usual food is actually the sweet honey they brew themselves.

Anjie nodded and said, "That's right, I'm a chef, so I'm thinking of ways to solve this from a food perspective."

Since it was for her own three bees, Hadali had no objections. She got up and went into the warehouse, and soon returned carrying a small jar.

She placed the jar in front of Anjie and said, "Here, is this enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Anjie nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Could I use your kitchen again?"

"Come with me," said Ms. Hadari.

Angie followed behind Ms. Hadari, carrying a jar filled with sweetness.

Hadali led Angie into the kitchen and said, "Use whatever you like, just clean up after you're done."

"Thank you." Anjie looked around the kitchen and saw that it was clean and tidy everywhere.

Hadali nodded and then turned and left.

With only herself left in the kitchen, Anjie put down the jar she was carrying and began to take out the ingredients one by one to get to work.

Besides the sweetness, Anjie had already prepared all the other ingredients for making honey grapefruit tea.

Anjie first washed the pomelos she had just bought.

Before transporting the berries back to Munchlax's house, Jeremy took some and put them into his system inventory.

After washing them, he used a knife to peel the skin off each pomelo.

While peeling the fruit, Anjie didn't forget to use waveguide power to balance the waveguide of the pomelo.

After peeling the pomelo, cut it into small pieces, as small as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to cook.

After cutting the pomelo, take out the clay pot, add water and rock sugar to the pot, and turn on the heat!

Once the water boils and the rock sugar has completely dissolved, add the chopped pomelo pulp.

Gently stir the mixture in the pot with chopsticks. Once it is well mixed, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer.

During this time, Anjie stirred the food to prevent it from sticking to the pot, while using waveguide power to balance the waveguide of the ingredients in the pot, so that they could maintain a balanced waveguide even when cooking at high temperatures.

Simmer for about an hour, until the grapefruit tea becomes crystal clear.

During this time, Anjie made a phone call to the Thousand-Faced Beast. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to go back at noon, so he could only tell the Thousand-Faced Beasts to go home first after finishing their work and not to wait for him.

As it simmered, a delicate fruity aroma wafted out of the kitchen.

Ms. Hadari was playing with the Pokémon when the sweet, cloying scent kept wafting into her nostrils, causing her to swallow hard.

That kid's pretty capable!

In the kitchen, after Anjie finished brewing the grapefruit tea, she let it cool before pouring it into the sweet drink and stirring well.

The moment the jar containing the sweet honey was opened, Anjie saw the amber-colored honey inside and couldn't help but dip a spoon into it and taste it.

His eyes lit up after tasting it; it was indeed a top-quality ingredient, incredibly sweet! It was the first time he had ever tasted such delicious honey!

The honey he had eaten in his previous life could not compare to this sweetness.

After mixing the honey and grapefruit tea evenly, the honey grapefruit tea is ready.

Honey grapefruit tea can be brewed as a beverage or used as a jam on bread.

When Anjie looked at the freshly made honey pomelo tea with her observant eyes, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she had actually made a top-quality delicacy!
