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

Chapter 53 Let's get to work!

After running for an unknown amount of time, Daoka and Yisha caught up with Munchlax near its house and watched as Gastly passed through the wall and entered Munchlax's house.

"Is that... His Highness Angel's shop?" Daoka stopped and asked.

"What should we do? Should we keep chasing them?" Yisha asked hesitantly.

Doka thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and report to Lord Jarvis first."

Yisha nodded upon hearing this, and then the two of them quietly left with their Pokémon.

Jarvis was waiting for Rakel to return at the palace gate when he saw Daoka and Yisha walking over hurriedly.

"Lord Jarvis..." Doka said, as if he had something to report.

Jarvis understood immediately. He glanced discreetly at the palace guard beside him and whispered, "Let's talk over there."

Daoka and Yisha nodded.

Once they reached a corner, Jarvis heard Daoka report, "Lord Jarvis, that Gastly has entered Prince Angel's shop."

"Your Highness Angie?" Jarvis looked surprised.

Daoka and Yisha nodded simultaneously.

Jarvis's expression immediately turned very unpleasant.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned sinister. He then waved to the two of them.

Daoka and Yisha possessed the past.

"I'm giving you a task," Jarvis said in a low voice, "Tie up Prince Ange for me. Can you do it?"

During this time, he frequently tried to curry favor with Anjie, but His Highness Anjie ignored him completely. He didn't believe a word Anjie said about not knowing the whereabouts of Magiyana.

Moreover, because of him, Prince Raquel is becoming increasingly distant from him!

Once he can find out Magiana's whereabouts, he can activate the weapon left behind by Elifas, and then the entire Kingdom of Azot will have to listen to him!

So he decided to take a risk. If he could find Magiana, why bother catching Stone?

"Lord Jarvis, please rest assured." Doka nodded confidently, "We will definitely complete the mission." He didn't think he couldn't handle even a prince who had been frail and pampered in the past.

Yi Sha nodded in agreement.

They used to be bounty hunters involved in organized crime; what kind of dangerous job hadn't they done? Kidnapping someone was nothing to them.

"Very good." Jarvis said, squinting. "If things go well, I won't treat you unfairly."

At this time, Anjie was unaware that he was being watched. He watched as Rakel and Fat Sweetie were taken away by the palace guards, then closed the shop and returned to the Nibel Plateau with Tree Pillow Koala and Super Meow Meow.

After arriving home, Anjie paid Gardevoir, Gallade, and Meowth their wages. Today, Meowth's wage was two cans of Energy Cubes, while yesterday's one can was just an intern's wage.

On its way home, Meowth continued to share its Power Cubes with the Pokémon it encountered along the way, because it had a raise today and "encountered" even more Pokémon.

After the three employees left, Anjie saw the Firefly, Greninja, and Bricaron arrive, along with the Poliwag King.

As one of the guardians of the Nibel Plateau, when he learned that Ange wanted to help everyone on the plateau, Mosquito Coil Frog King felt that he had to come and meet Ange in person.

Anjie was somewhat surprised to see the Mosquito Coil Frog King. He had only caught a glimpse of it last time, but now, looking at it up close, the Mosquito Coil Frog King seemed even more majestic.

"Maho~ Maho~~ Maho~~~" Anjie, I've told everyone everything, and they all agree. We'll gather by the lake this afternoon, and you can come over and assign tasks to everyone then.

The fiery red fox spoke to Anjie, addressing her much more affectionately than before.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Anjie nodded.

"Kogaga~Kogaga~" No, it's all what we should do. We should be thanking you.

"Greninja said."

"Nuo Luo~ Nuo Luo~~ Bo Nuo Luo~" Thank you, Mr. Anjie!

At this moment, the Mosquito Coil Frog King also stepped forward to thank Anjie.

Anjie said, "I am a member of the Nibel Plateau. I am helping everyone today in the hope that you will help me in the future. Please don't be shy."

Poliwag, Fiery Fox, Greninja, and Bricaron all nodded in unison. They believed that all the Pokémon (and people) on the Nebel Plateau were one big family and should help and support each other.

Soon it was afternoon, and Ange saw that it was time to meet with the Red Fox and the others, so she picked up the Tree Pillow Koala and set off for Lake Nibel with Diancie and Snorlax.

When the family of four arrived, they found that all the other Pokémon had already arrived.

The Litwick family, the Victreebel family of five, the Fizzle family of three, the Swabelle family of three, Vivavo, the Dugtrio brothers, Flareon, Gardevoir couple, Diglett, Sentry, Sneak, Cocoyar, Hippowdon, Hippowdon, Tailstand, Curlyear, Diglett, Pachirisu, Deerclops... almost all the Pokémon that Ange is familiar with on the plateau have come.

Of course, the four guardians, Firefly, Greninja, Bricaron, and Poliwag, also arrived. Bricaron brought its child, Fatty Hari, and Poliwag brought its Poliwag Tadpole, Poliwag-kun, and Poliwag Swimmer.

However, Meowth didn't come.

It arrives at Anjie's house very early every morning, so it takes a nap after returning at noon. Therefore, it is unaware that a great undertaking is about to take place on the plateau.

Looking at everyone, Anjie said excitedly, "I'm so glad you could all come. I won't say anything more, I just hope you can all have a relaxing winter, and I hope we can work together to create a better future."

"Chiru~~"

"Drumming~~"

"Ailu~"

"Li~~"

"Yo~~"

……

Upon hearing Ange's words, the Pokémon cheered loudly, their voices filled with anticipation for the future and gratitude towards Ange.

"Then let's get to work!"

As he spoke, An Jie took out the fruit tree he had already selected and bought from his system inventory and placed it on the open ground next to him.

Next comes fertilizer.

This time, Anjie really couldn't use the homemade fertilizer to plant fruit trees anymore, because there simply wasn't enough time. Although the system's fertilizer cost happiness points, Anjie didn't have any more now!

Moreover, the fertilizer provided by the system not only promotes the survival and rapid fruiting of fruit trees, but also does not pollute the environment, making it incredibly cost-effective.

As for the first batch of fruit trees that Anjie chose to plant, there were three types: sweet apples, sour apples, and honey apples.

These three types of apples each have their own characteristics. For example, sweet apples are very delicious fruits and are suitable for eating directly, sour apples are suitable for making juice drinks, and honey apples are more suitable for making desserts.

Furthermore, these three types of apples are items required for the evolution of certain Pokémon.

After taking out the seedlings and fertilizer, Ange began to explain to the Pokémon how to plant them.

His idea was to plant three layers of fruit trees around Lake Nebel, with the innermost layer being sour apples because they require the most moisture, the middle layer being sweet apples, and the outermost layer being honey apples because they require the least water.

He only planned to plant one tree per layer, because planting too many would encroach on the grassland area and thus affect the environment of the Nibel Plateau.

Lake Nibel's shoreline is long enough that even planting just one seed per layer would yield a large harvest.

After finishing her explanation, Anjie asked, "Did everyone understand?"

"Ya cha~~" I understand!

"Lion~~" Got it?

"Hoo-poo~~" Got it!

……

The Pokémon responded loudly to Angel, looking very enthusiastic.

"Let's get started!" Anjie raised his fist to cheer everyone on.

"Miru~" Time to get to work!

"Yay~" Time to get to work!

"Whoosh~" Time to get to work!

……

A beam of fire shot out from the candle flame atop the Candle Spirit's head and sprayed it towards the weeds on the lake shore, instantly clearing them away.

Rocket Sparrow and its father, Arrowhawk, were not to be outdone.

With a flap of its wings, the rocket sparrow unleashed bursts of flame, which splattered onto the ground and gradually scorched the weeds.

The Arrowhawk was even more formidable; it suddenly burst into flames and flew low over the grass, instantly obliterating large swathes of weeds.

Upon seeing this, the Blue Cottonbird and Pink Fragrance immediately flew to their friend's side, stood side by side with their friend, and waved their wings to cheer for their friend's father, just like a cheerleading squad.

"Chiru~ Chiru~" Go, Uncle! Go, Uncle!

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~" Go, Uncle! Go, Uncle!

"Ya ma~ Ya ma~" Go, Dad! Go, Dad!

With his vanity satisfied, the Fiery Eagle worked even harder.

Mk Eagle looked at the father and son with tender eyes and shook his head helplessly.

This father and son...

After the weeds were cleared away, it was the turn of the digger rabbit, sand hippopotamus, hippopotamus, screw mole, and tridendron to show off their skills.

One pit after another appeared as they dug rapidly, each pit being roughly the same size, as if they had planned it beforehand.

"Sana~"

"Ailu~"

"Mahhoo~"

……

After the pit was dug, it was time for the Psychic-type Pokémon to take center stage. They used their psychic powers to control the bags of fertilizer and poured the fertilizer into the pit according to the amount Ange had instructed.

"Muk~"

"Wow~~"

……

Next, Flying Pokémon such as Staraptor, Altaria, and Crowhead took action, grabbing saplings one by one and dropping them into the fertilized pits with clean and efficient movements.

"Ah~~"

"Pop~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~~"

……

Then, Big Eater Flower, Mouthful Flower, Trumpet Bud, Flower Leaf Stem, Bricaron, Fat Hali, Mounted Goat, and Mounted Little Goat each went to a pit and used vine whips to straighten the saplings. Then, Mischievous Panda, Little Lion, Sentry Mouse, Tail Stander, Curly Ears, and Coco Dora rushed up and pushed the soil into the pit, burying the tree and tamping it down with their feet.

Finally, the Greninja and the Poliwag, along with the Poliwag Tadpole, Poliwag-kun, Poliwag Swimmer, Marill, and Lulili, watered the tree.

Everyone divided the tasks, and the shores of Lake Nebel were bustling with activity. Angel wandered among the Pokémon, occasionally giving them pointers to prevent them from making mistakes.

How deep to dig the pit, how much fertilizer to apply, how tightly to bury the soil, how much water to pour... all these things need to be considered, and Anjie has carefully studied them beforehand.

When you purchase fruit seedlings, the system store provides a free planting guide, which contains very detailed information on how to plant three types of apple trees.

Seeing that it was getting late, Anja said to Munchlax, "Mumplax, let's go home and cook."

With so many Pokémon needing to eat today, Angel and Munchlax need to go back early to prepare.

"Gang~ Gang~" Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax quickly patted the dirt off its hands and ran to Angie's side.

Then Ange said to Tianxi, "Tianxi, I'm leaving this place in your care."

Tianxi nodded. "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. I see everyone is already quite proficient."

Anjay nodded, picked up the tree-pillow koala, turned around, and went home with Snorlax.

After returning home, the master and apprentice began kneading dough and steaming buns with great effort. With so many Pokémon coming to eat together, making steamed buns would definitely be too late; steaming them would be much faster.

Soon evening arrived, the sun gradually sank, and its orange glow shone on the Nibel Plateau, adding a touch of gentleness to the entire plateau.

All the saplings that Anjie brought out by the lake have been planted.

Diancie led a large group of Pokémon into Diancie's Dining Hall. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and although they looked a little tired, their expressions were full of joy.

At this moment, Ange walked out of the door wearing an apron, with a smile on her face, as if welcoming all the Pokémon home.

"Everyone's back just in time, let's eat!"

Upon hearing this, the Pokémon erupted in cheers.

Gardevoir and Gallade quickly stepped out of the Pokémon group, intending to help Angela serve everyone food.

Anjie patted the couple on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Sanagi~Sanagi" It's not hard, it's not hard.

"Ailu~Ailu~" We're happy to be able to help the boss.

Gardevoir and Gallade shook their heads repeatedly.

Soon, bowl after bowl of steamed buns and plate after plate of spicy Asile Seaweed were brought out by Gardevoir, Gallade, Angel, and Snorlax, and distributed to everyone's food bowls.

Because there were too many Pokémon to fit inside the store, everyone simply sat down on the grass at the entrance and began to wolf down their food.

Perhaps food tastes better after a day's work, for the Pokémon all wore expressions of immense satisfaction.

Although most Pokémon won't contribute any Happiness Points to Ange after this meal (each Pokémon can only contribute Happiness Points during its first meal), Ange's lips unconsciously curled up as she looked at the smiles on the Pokémon's faces.

What puzzled Anjie was that the Flower Leaf, Tail Stander, Curly Ear, Screw Mole, Patchletz, Coco Dora, Four Seasons Deer... did not finish the food they received, but each left some for themselves.

Are you planning to save it for tomorrow? But there will still be food available tomorrow!

Despite her doubts, Anjie did not interfere. Since the food had been given to them, it was their freedom to do whatever they wanted with it.
