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

Chapter 249 Competitive Job Selection!

The next morning, Ange brought his Pokémon to work in the royal city as usual.

But as soon as he opened the shop door, he saw the finance minister waiting at the door.

"Sir Wilson, so early? Coming for breakfast?" Angie asked in surprise.

"No? I'm here to buy wine!" the finance minister said seriously.

Last night, when he got home, he opened the bottle of red wine his son had given him and tasted it. Surprisingly, it tasted even better than the white wine he had drunk during the day (it's a matter of personal taste)!

Therefore, he became increasingly resentful about not being able to buy any wine yesterday evening.

Such fine wine will only become increasingly difficult to buy in the future, and its collectible value will only increase.

So he decided to get up early today; surely he wouldn't be too early to miss out on buying it!

It just so happens that his workplace is on the way to the Snorlax House.

Anjie was stunned when she heard this. Waiting at the store entrance so early just to buy alcohol? Is she that addicted to alcohol?

Anjie, who doesn't like wine, is unaware of the allure of a good bottle of wine to a connoisseur.

"Secretary Wilson, come in quickly!" Angie hurriedly led the treasurer through the door.

Luckily it wasn't hot in the morning, otherwise I would definitely have gotten heatstroke in the middle of summer!

Upon entering, the Finance Minister surveyed the shop. To be honest, this was his first time visiting the breakfast shop at Munchlax House.

Their office had a canteen that provided free breakfast and lunch to the ministers, so although he had heard of Anjie's place before, he had never been there.

With free breakfast available, who would want to waste money eating out?

The finance minister swallowed hard, his mouth watering at the aroma wafting from the kitchen not far away.

Anjie called out to the clay figurine not far away, "Clay figurine, take Secretary Wilson to the second floor to find Baby Goth!"

Since there was no need for help at the dessert shop, the two clay figurines temporarily came to the breakfast shop to assist.

"Hee-hee~~" One of the clay figurines responded to Anjie and politely came over to lead the way for the finance minister.

They have also received etiquette training.

As the finance minister followed the clay figurine upstairs, he couldn't help but crane his neck to look towards the kitchen.

It smells so good, Your Highness. What exactly are you selling here?

Once they reached the second floor, the finance minister told Gothic Baby that he wanted to buy 10 bottles of each type of wine, but Gothic Baby pointed to the notice that had just been posted on the wall that morning.

The finance minister looked in the direction Gothic Baby was pointing and saw a sign on the wall that read: "Each guest is limited to two bottles of alcohol per day. Buying on behalf of others is prohibited."

The finance minister's face immediately fell.

"What?! Only two bottles? How about eight bottles?"

"Ge Qi~ Ge Qi~" Gothic Baby shook his head.

"Those five bottles!" the finance minister bargained.

Gothic Baby shook his head and made a "2" gesture with a determined look.

"Can't we discuss it?" the finance minister asked, still unwilling to give up.

"Geqi~Geqi~" Gothic Baby shrugged, indicating that it was all the boss's rule and there was nothing it could do about it.

Left with no other option, the finance minister said, "Fine, then give me one bottle of this kind of baijiu and one bottle of that kind of red wine!"

Anjie's baijiu and red wine are also divided into different types. Depending on the brewing materials and methods, different types of the same wine have different flavors.

At this time, Ange was unaware that because of the purchase limit policy he had set, the Finance Minister, in order to collect all kinds of alcohol from his store, would arrive at the entrance of Munchlax's house early every morning without fail.

It must be said that the finance minister's perseverance is commendable, no wonder he has been able to climb to his current position.

The importance of the position of finance minister to a country is self-evident.

Not only that, he also predicted that Anjie's wine would appreciate in value in the future, which is quite remarkable foresight.

After receiving the wine, the finance minister walked downstairs with a smile.

By this time, the breakfast shop on the first floor was already mostly full of customers. Everyone was having breakfast in a lively atmosphere, chatting about recent news and gossip, which filled the shop with a warm and lively atmosphere.

The finance minister intended to go straight to work, but he suddenly stopped when he saw the customers enjoying their food in the restaurant.

How about... we buy some to try?

He knew his son came here for breakfast every day, so he couldn't help but be curious about just how delicious the food was.

Ultimately, swayed by the aroma, the finance minister bought a breakfast.

However, he didn't eat at the restaurant because he was afraid of being late.

The finance minister is a diligent and conscientious person, and he is always among the first to arrive at the office.

Upon arriving at his office, the finance minister carefully placed the purchased wine into the cabinet on his desk, then took his breakfast to the cafeteria.

Eating breakfast in the office is not a good idea.

Because he arrived early, there were only a handful of people in the cafeteria.

The auntie who usually serves meals noticed that the finance minister sat down and started eating without ordering, and she couldn't help but wonder:

"That's strange. Secretary Wilson has been eating breakfast here for over ten years. Why did he bring his own today? Did his wife make him a loving meal?"

In reality, the wives of the finance ministers were pampered ladies who never lifted a finger in the kitchen; they certainly didn't know how to cook!

The finance minister took a bite of a steamed bun and instantly understood why his son always said that His Highness ate breakfast at the shop.

Is it really this delicious? He felt like he had missed out on a fortune!

With that in mind, he started eating breakfast faster.

good to eat!too delicious!

As time went on, more and more people came to eat in the cafeteria.

Several officials who were acquainted with the finance minister sat down next to him and across from him.

When someone noticed that the food in front of the finance minister was different from theirs, they asked in confusion:

"Sir Wilson, what are you eating? Is it something new in the cafeteria? I didn't see it when I ordered."

One person said, "I didn't see it either, but this new product looks delicious!"

The finance minister replied, "This isn't a new cafeteria item; it's breakfast from His Highness Angie's shop. I just happened to be passing by today and bought a serving."

Before one of them could speak, the finance minister said, "This isn't even enough for me. If you want some, go buy it yourselves! I won't share it with you!"

Everyone was surprised to hear this; they had never seen Secretary Wilson so possessive of his food before.

This aroused their great curiosity about the food in Prince Anjie's shop.

Like the former finance minister, they had all heard of the famous Munchlax House, but because of the free breakfast, they had never been there.

At this time, Angie was unaware that the fact that the finance minister had brought his family's breakfast into the office had aroused the strong curiosity of the ministers.

In the following days, they visited Munchlax's House one after another, and thus became die-hard fans of Munchlax's House.

For this reason, the office canteen is unusually quiet every morning, which made the chefs and waiters in the canteen grumble for a while.

The morning flew by, and after 10:00, Anjie decisively closed the shop.

Since Weng and the others were already skilled in their work, Anjie didn't stay behind today.

Before leaving, he said to Wobbuffet, Gothic, and Girafalin, who were minding the shop:

"You all have a good rest at noon. I'll have Libra bring you lunch later!"

Although the employees don't eat lunch at Anjie's house, they were indeed tired after a morning of work, so Anjie naturally prepared lunch for them.

"Slurp~"

"Ge Qi~"

"Wow~~"

The three Pokémon waved goodbye to Ange happily upon hearing this.

Being able to eat the food cooked by Anjie makes all their hard work worthwhile.

After returning home, Anjie and his three apprentices made lunch together, and then, as agreed, Libra delivered food to Wobbuffet and the others.

Although Libra was reluctant to run errands, she immediately became obedient after seeing Anjie's fist.

After a pleasant lunch, Anjay waved to the sleepy Munchlax and said:

"Little Snorlax, I'm going to the Tree of Beginning to find Mew, do you want to come with me?"

"Gang~ Gang~" Together! Together!

Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax instantly woke up and quickly walked to Anja's side, expertly taking Anja's hand.

Anjie squeezed its chubby paw and said with a smile, "Then let's go!"

Upon hearing this, the double sword sheaths that were resting on the wall quickly followed.

Libra lay lazily on the table. It had heard Anjie's words, but it only glanced at Anjie casually before lying back down on the table without moving.

It's so hot outside, it doesn't want to leave the Nibel Plateau!

Anjax, carrying Snorlax and Twin Scabbards, passed through the spatial passage and arrived at Mew's home.

Unlike the cool Nibel Plateau, Ange felt a wave of heat hit her as soon as she came out of the space passage.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's midsummer right now!

Anjie looked around and found that Dream was not there.

"Let's look elsewhere!" Angel said to Munchlax and the Twin Blades.

"Gang~"

"Yo~"

After the two Pokémon nodded, they followed Angel and walked out of the tree hole.

As soon as the person and two Pokémon stepped out of the tree hole, they saw a Pidgey flap its wings and land under a shady tree.

Because it was so hot, it was panting heavily and shaking its feathers to fluff them up and dissipate the heat.

Seeing this, Anjie waved to Bobo, "Bobo, do you know where the Dreamland is?"

Upon seeing Angel, Bobo immediately flew out from the shade of the tree and landed on Angel's shoulder.

Bobo naturally recognized Angel, since Angel often came to the Tree of Beginning to trade with Chansey.

It has also visited the Nibel Plateau.

"Bobo~ Bobo~" Bobo patted Anjie's cheek with one wing and pointed the way for Anjie with the other wing.

Guided by Bobo, Angel navigated through the passages inside the Tree of Beginning and finally found Dream in front of a lake.

It turns out the weather was too hot, and Dream couldn't stand it, so she came here to cool off.

Together with the dream is the ice pillar—Regice.

Upon reaching the lake, Bobo happily flew onto the water's surface, splashing water all over itself with its paws.

Because of Regirock, the lake water here is very cold, making it a perfect summer retreat, and Bobo had a great time.

Bobo's cheerful barking caught Mew's attention, and Mew saw Angel because of it.

"Mew~ Mew~" Anjie, what brings you here?

In the blink of an eye, Meng Huan flew to An Jie's side and plopped down on his shoulder.

Anjie replied, "There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Moo~" What's wrong?

Dream tilted its head, looking puzzled.

So Anjie told Mew that he wanted to find a group of Pokémon to work as delivery drivers.

Upon hearing this, Dream immediately replied, "Mew~Mew~" No problem, everyone will definitely be happy!

Working for Anjie means getting a salary, and getting a salary means you won't have to worry about food and drink. Who could refuse such a good deal?

"Mew~Mew~" Who would you like to invite?

Dreamlike Inquiry.

Anjie shook her head and said, "I don't know either, that's why I came to discuss it with you!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Huan fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, it said, "How about I call everyone over so you can choose?"

Upon hearing this, An Jie's face lit up with joy, and she said, "If that could be done, it would be wonderful!"

Just as Mew was about to call the Pokémon, Angel called out to it again, "Only Pokémon that can fly!"

Flying Pokémon ensure fast food delivery, and their strong sense of direction makes them less likely to get lost, thus avoiding traffic problems.

"Mwah~~" Got it!

As he spoke, his dreamlike figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

As time went by, flying Pokémon gradually arrived at the edge of the lake.

The first to arrive were a flock of bluebirds. After landing, they flapped their wings and greeted Anjie with graceful movements.

Next to arrive were a flock of giant swallows and a flock of bighead carnivores, which moved nimbly and cleanly.

Next came the pterosaurs, which looked rather fierce, causing everyone to instinctively keep their distance after they landed.

Well, it seems the fossil pterosaur won't do; it looks too fierce and might scare children.

The last to arrive were Dragonite and Dragonair.

Anjie's eyes lit up when she saw them.

Dragonite is practically his ideal deliveryman!

First of all, Dragonite has a kind and gentle appearance, always smiling at everyone, and is very approachable.

Secondly, they are gentle in nature, emotionally stable, and unlikely to cause trouble.

In the service industry, you have to put up with some frustrations; you can't do it if you're emotionally unstable.

Finally, Dragonite is generally strong and can easily solve any problems it encounters!

However, although Anjie's ideal deliveryman is Kuailong, since everyone is here, it's fair to test them.

After all the Pokémon who applied for the job arrived, Mew also returned, so Angel asked loudly:

"Do you all want to apply for a food delivery driver job?"

The Pokémon nodded in agreement, all looking at Ange with expectant expressions.

Who wouldn't want that! Just look at the Chanseys; once they get the job, it means they've secured a stable job and are on their way to the top.

Anjie said, "I need a limited number of delivery drivers, so it's impossible to select all of you. You have to pass my test, and only those who pass the test can start working."

"Awoo~ Awoo~~" Tell me what kind of test you have!

A fossil pterosaur said confidently, as if it was already determined to get the deliveryman job.
