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

Chapter 39 The Working Prince

When Anjie arrived at the place in Elifas Park where she usually set up her stall, she was quite taken aback.

What's going on? Why are there so many people?!

Just then, someone shouted, "The little boss is here!"

Suddenly, a huge crowd gathered and surrounded Anjie's food truck.

"Boss, you're finally here! I came early this morning just to try your steamed buns and mantou."

"Boss, are you really a member of the royal family? What's your relationship with His Majesty?"

"Boss, do you have enough steamed buns and mantou to sell today? Don't let me run out again."

……

Anjie's head was throbbing from the noise.

"Make way! Please make way, everyone, the car can't get through!" Anjie shouted, sticking his head out of the car window.

But his voice didn't make a splash in the noisy crowd.

Just when Anjie was at a loss, a piercing horn suddenly sounded.

"What are you all doing? What are you all doing! Do you know that it's illegal to gather a crowd and cause trouble?"

A middle-aged man in uniform with a stern expression was seen reprimanding the crowd with a megaphone, while a squad of guards was maintaining order behind him.

"We're just here to buy steamed buns and mantou," someone muttered quietly.

The middle-aged man shouted again, "Is this how you buy things? Everyone line up! Anyone who doesn't line up will be arrested!"

In an instant, all the people quickly lined up.

Seeing this, An Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that the celebrity effect from yesterday would still be there today.

In reality, Ange underestimated the cohesion of the Kingdom of Azot and the people's love for the royal family.

Because the country was small, only the size of one city (including a large number of villages and towns around the capital), the people were more united than ever before.

For the public, it is a very big deal for a member of the royal family to be out in public doing business!

As soon as Anjie parked the food cart in its usual spot and opened the window, a little head popped up to the window.

"Your Highness Anjie."

"Prince Rakel?" Angie exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe~~" Rakel scratched the back of his head, "My sister said you must be very busy today, so she asked me to help you."

"So those guards were all brought by you?" Anjie asked.

Raquel replied, "Those are my sister's guards."

Angie nodded, then gestured to Rachel, "Come in! Come in!" He then opened the car door.

"Hmm~~"

Rachel quickly ran into the car with her chubby sweetie.

Seeing that Ange had already started making dumplings, Rakel asked, "Your Highness Ange, how can I help?"

"Do you really want to help?" Anjie asked.

"Really, my sister asked me to come and help." Rachel nodded vigorously.

"Pui Luo~ Pei Luo~~"

The chubby girl next to her nodded in agreement.

Looking at Rachel, who looked like a little radish, Angie thought: What a tragedy, isn't this child labor?

However, their parents have already agreed.

Anjie thought for a moment, "Then how about this, later Fatty Sweetie will help me put the steamed buns and dumplings I made into the steamer and send them to steam."

As he spoke, he explained to Fatty Sweetie how many steamed buns and dumplings should be placed in a steamer, and roughly how far apart they should be.

These factors all affect the taste of steamed buns and mantou.

"As for Rakel, you can help serve the guests buns and steamed bread."

As he spoke, he explained to Rachel which steamer contained steamed buns, which contained cabbage-filled buns, which contained radish-filled buns, and which contained chive-filled buns. He emphasized that Rachel had to remember all of these details, otherwise, what if he gave the wrong bun to a customer?

After the introduction, Angie asked Rachel and Fat Sweetie, "How was it? Did you remember everything?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness Anjie!"

"Pui Luo~ Pei Luo~"

Laquel and Fat Sweetie looked confident.

Soon the first batch of steamed buns and mantou was ready, and the rich aroma spread, tempting the people in line.

"This...this smells absolutely amazing!"

A significant portion of today's guests are simply there for the spectacle, drawn by Anjee's status as a member of the royal family; they merely wish to have a brief encounter with royalty.

Although some people said that Anjie's steamed buns and mantou were delicious, most of the people who came to join in the fun were skeptical. What delicious food could a pampered royal family member make?

But the aroma filling the air whetted their appetites, and their mouths watered uncontrollably. They finally had to admit that the young boss's culinary skills were extraordinary.

The moment the steamer was lifted, the line began to stir.

"Could you hurry up a bit? Don't waste everyone's time."

"Exactly, exactly! Also, each person should buy fewer items to give the others a chance!"

……

The guests chattered amongst themselves.

This was the first time Rakel had ever seen anything like it, and he was momentarily stunned, exclaiming, "Your Highness Ange, your business is booming!"

Anjie shook her head. "Some people come here for more than just my cooking skills."

Raquel naturally understood this principle, but he felt that having the means to utilize those means was also a skill.

Seeing Rachel's flustered state, Angie asked with a smile, "How's it going? Are you adjusting well?"

Rakel said earnestly, "Don't worry, Your Highness Ange, I can do it!"

In fact, Raquel, who loves inventing, has excellent memory and hands-on skills. He not only remembered all of Angel's instructions, but also made almost no mistakes in his subsequent work.

She was just too shy. When handing buns and steamed bread to guests, she neither dared to make eye contact nor respond to their words.

Seeing Rakel like this, Ange finally understood why Ji Meiya had asked him to help her.

The guests naturally recognized Prince Raquel, after all, their country had only had three royal family members in total.

They found Raquel's shy reactions amusing, so they often teased and joked with him, frequently making him blush.

The chances of being a funny prince are few and far between.

Because of Laquere, bursts of laughter would occasionally erupt from the team.

Raquel has a really good temper; no matter how much people tease him, he never gets angry.

Angie would occasionally remind Rakel, "Rakel, if someone's teasing you, just argue back! If that doesn't work, just yell at them!"

Raquel stammered, clearly unable to do so.

Anjie shook his head helplessly, "You kid...you need to train!"

"Young boss, I never knew you were a member of the royal family!" the old man asked with a smile, holding his Growlithe dog.

"Grandpa, it's you!" Anjie said with a smile. "How many are coming today?"

The old man chuckled and said, "The same as always."

"Alright!" Anjie replied, then said to Rachel, "Rachel, get the old man 50 steamed buns, and 50 of each of the three kinds of fillings."

"OK!"

Rakel quickly opened the steamer to get buns and steamed bread for the old man.

The old man took the steamed buns and mantou, and immediately took out two, putting one into his own mouth and the other into the mouth of the Growlithe dog.

"Mmm, delicious!"

He walked away contentedly as he spoke.

"Boss, two of each type of filling for the steamed buns."

Anjie looked up and saw that it was the crepe vendor from the next stall who had come.

Seeing An Jie looking at him, the uncle scratched his head sheepishly, "Young boss, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I made you get surrounded and criticized by so many people."

Anjay was indeed quite angry at the time, but she calmed down after thinking about it. After all, no one meant any harm; they just wanted to do their part for the royal family.

If Ji Meiya was indeed looking for a wanted criminal, then everyone had done a great service back then.

Thinking this, Anjie smiled and said to the uncle, "It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding, we can clear it up."

Seeing that An Jie didn't mind, the uncle breathed a sigh of relief and then happily took his steamed buns to share with the chubby girl who was guarding the stall.

Business was booming, and Anjie and his team were so busy they barely had time to breathe. Even the tree-pillow bear, who was in charge of collecting money, was a bit flustered.

In the middle of the process, before the new batch of steamed buns and mantou were ready, Anjie gave them a portion that she had specially reserved for the guards.

The guards have worked so hard to maintain order; there's no reason for them to suffer for nothing.

At the same time, Raquel finally got to eat the steamed buns and mantou he had been longing for.

Perhaps because the food tasted even better after a hard day's work, Raquel was instantly amazed.

"It's so delicious! Even better than I imagined! Your Highness Anjie, you're amazing!"

Fat Sweetie's expression was exactly the same as Rachel's, and it directly contributed 400 happiness points to Anjie.

"Eat as much as you like," Anjie said with a smile, while also holding the tree-pillow koala in his arms and feeding it.

The tree-pillow koala hasn't had breakfast yet.

Once everyone has finished eating, business continues.

The morning flew by, and when the last batch of steamed buns was sold, Anjie called out the window, "Sold out for today! Come early tomorrow!"

Disappointed, the customers left after failing to purchase the land.

As soon as the guests left, Anjie closed the car door and began to tally up the day's earnings.

Today we sold a total of 2560 steamed buns, earning 51200 Alliance Coins; and sold 4530 steamed breads, earning 45300 Alliance Coins.

The total amount is 96500 Union Coins.

I earned tens of thousands less than yesterday.

In fact, after a day of public opinion fermentation, there are actually more guests today than yesterday. This is a world with an exceptionally developed internet, where a little news can spread like wildfire.

However, Anjie did not prepare many materials.

He could have continued selling steamed buns, but he was too tired yesterday and didn't want to work that hard today.

It's really not worth it.

Having finally been given a second chance at life, he's here to enjoy it.

He was already very satisfied with earning 9 yuan a day; many people only earn that much in a year.

Contentment brings happiness! Contentment brings happiness!

As Ange tallied his catch, Rakel asked, "Your Highness Ange, do you intend to continue running this stall indefinitely?"

Without looking up, Anjie replied, "Huh? I haven't decided yet! I'll set it up for a while first."

Laquel added, "Actually, the ministers have a lot of opinions about you setting up a stall."

"I don't care about them!" Anjie said indifferently. He would do whatever he wanted, and no one could tell him what to do. "Let them talk to me to my face if they dare." I'll just give them a good beating and that'll be it!

Laquel: ...

Just then, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness Anjie, Your Highness Lakai, the Princess has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Anjie got up and opened the car door, and sure enough, he saw Ji Meiya standing at the door with Fulamer.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Anjie," Ji Meiya said with a smile.

Just then, Rachel ran over excitedly and shouted, "Sister!"

"Rakel!" Jimia called out, then looked at Ange and asked, "Your Highness, did Rakel cause you any trouble?"

Anjie smiled and praised Rachel, "How could that be? He and Fatty Sweetie were a huge help to me today!"

Upon hearing this, Rachel scratched his head sheepishly, while Fat Sweetie raised her head proudly.

Jimia couldn't help but praise her brother, "You did a great job, Rachel, I'm so proud of you."

Raquel felt even more embarrassed.

Then Ji Meiya said to An Jie, "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace."

Ange nodded, then drove the food cart carrying Jimia, Rachel, and Flamel toward the palace.

On the way, Ji Meiya handed a cell phone to An Jie and said to him, "Your Highness, your Alliance citizenship has been processed, and the business license and related procedures for selling steamed buns and mantou have also been completed. You can log in to the Alliance's citizen website to check your identity information."

As she spoke, she taught Anjie how to log in to the Union Citizens website.

When Angerden went inside, he was able to find all his information clearly, including his identity as a member of the Azot royal family.

"Also, I've set up your bank account for you, so you can use online payments freely from now on!"

Ji Meiya continued to teach Anjie how to use the online banking account.

Cell phones are extremely important in the Pokémon world, as they are essential for most of their social activities.

Anjie used to be an unregistered resident, so even if he bought a phone from the system store, he couldn't use it, which is why he never bought one.

Now he finally has a legitimate status.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ji Meiya." An Jie sincerely thanked Ji Meiya.

Ji Meiya waved her hand and said, "What are you saying? It's all what I should do."

The food truck arrived at the palace, only to find Minister Jarvis standing at the palace gate waiting for them.

Seeing Raquel step out of the car, he called out solemnly, "Prince Raquel, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Sister." Rachel glanced at her sister.

Ji Meiya gently patted Rakel on the back and said, "Go on, study hard."

Although she disliked Jarvis, she had to admit that Jarvis was indeed the most authoritative mystery scientist in the country at present.

When Raquel ran to Jarvis's side, Jarvis wanted to go up and say something to Anja, but he was forced to be pulled away by the impatient Raquel.

"Sister, Princess Ange, Flamel, see you later." Rakel waved back to Ange and the others as he ran.

"See you later, Raquel!"

After seeing Rachel off, Ji Meiya first took Ange to the royal hospital for a check-up. He used to be weak and sickly, and had been asleep for five hundred years. Although he had recovered his health thanks to Diancie, his exact physical condition was still unknown.

The Royal Hospital is a special hospital dedicated to serving the royal family. It is located within the royal palace and staffed with elite and leading doctors in the medical field, equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment.

The Royal Hospital is divided into two parts: one part is specifically for treating and maintaining the health of members of the royal family, and the other part is for treating the Pokémon of members of the royal family.

The Royal Hospital was very efficient, and Anjie's physical examination results came out quickly. The examination showed that he was in good health, even stronger than the average fitness trainer.

Anjie was very happy to see the result; it seemed that the points he had accumulated over the past few days had not been wasted.
