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

Chapter 59 Great Change

Late at night, after instructing Munchlax and Sobble to guard the house, Angel, riding on Crow's Head, descended upon the ancient city walls of Azot Royal City under the cover of darkness.

Standing atop the city wall, Ange summoned Diancie.

"Such a huge thing, can it really be stored in the system's inventory?" Anjie asked incredulously.

"It should be okay, right?" Tianxi said uncertainly.

"Let's give it a try," Anjie said.

As he spoke, Anjie placed his hand on the city wall and softly murmured, "Withdraw!"

An Jie uses the system's inventory through language commands, such as "collect" or "retrieve," instead of relying on mental or soul power as in other novels.

As soon as he finished speaking, the city wall, which was tens of meters high, suddenly disappeared, and Ange and Tianxi, who were standing on the city wall, fell uncontrollably downwards.

Fortunately, the crow leader was quick-witted and agile. The moment the city wall disappeared, it took off and swooped down to catch Anja and Diancie in time.

After recovering, Anjie hugged the crow leader's neck and said, "It's all thanks to you that I was here, otherwise I would have fallen to my death."

"Ugh~"

With a single caw, the crow carried Angie and Diancie into the night.

Back at their home on the Nibel Plateau, Ange and Tianxi saw off the Raven Leader. Ange then asked, "What should we do with this aerial fortress? Should we retrieve it directly, or keep it in our system inventory?"

At this moment, a pop-up window appeared in front of Diancie.

Should I spend 1000000 Happiness Points to merge the Diancie Grand Dining Hall with the Sky Fortress?

Be

no

安杰愣住了，多少幸福点？1、2、3……他没数错，确实是6个0没错吧？100万？

"Tianxi, is the system kidding me?" Anjie asked Tianxi, who only had less than 200 million happiness points in total!

"No," Diancie shook her head regretfully. "Actually, you can choose not to fuse."

An Jie thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Merge! It's just 100 million, it's not like I can't afford it. I can just earn more if I run out."

The system certainly wouldn't need to merge him for no reason.

"So generous!" Tianxi said to Anjie with a smile.

"How do we fuse this together?" Anjie asked.

"Just select 'yes' and wait. The system should integrate automatically," Tianxi replied.

"Oh well."

At this moment, the little Snorlax was already fast asleep on the bed, hugging Sobble. Anja and Diancie smiled at each other and then carried the two of them back to the room.

Emerging from Snorlax's room, Ange took a deep breath. "Snorlax is getting fatter and fatter!"

Upon hearing this, Tianxi covered her mouth and laughed nonstop.

"Alright, let's go to sleep too," Ange said to Tianxi.

"Okay, goodnight, Anjie."

Goodnight, Diancie.

The two returned to their respective rooms. An Jie washed up and lay down on the bed, then opened the system taskbar, which displayed:

【Daily Task 1】Train in the Culinary Training Room for 1 hour - Completed, reward to be claimed.

[Daily Task 2] Invite 10 Pokémon - Completed, reward to be claimed.

[Temporary Mission] Obtain the Sky Fortress - Completed, reward to be claimed.

As usual, Anjie first collected the rewards from the two daily tasks and then washed her hands.

Congratulations, owner, you have received a reward: 4 Nectar.

nectar?

Anjie took out the reward, which consisted of four small jars of different colors: vermilion, golden yellow, peach pink, and blue-purple. Each jar was only the size of a fist and was shaped like a flower.

Could this be the crimson, golden, peach-pink, and blue-purple nectar that can change the shape of the Flower Bird?

Anjie opened one of the jars, and a sweet aroma immediately wafted out, extremely rich. His eyes lit up: This is good stuff!

He inhaled the fragrant aroma of nectar and unconsciously swallowed.

"Never mind, I won't eat them. I'll eat them with everyone tomorrow. Besides, it's not a good time to eat sweets right now." With that, he placed the four small jars on the bedside table.

Then Anjie claimed her second daily task reward.

Congratulations, owner, you have received a reward: 1 pack of honey flower seeds (the pollen collected by the budding fly and the butterfly budding fly can be used to make vermilion honey, golden honey, peach-pink honey, and blue-purple honey).

Anjie's eyes lit up when he saw the reward, but then he thought that neither his home nor the Nibel Plateau seemed to have any Moe Fly or Butterfly Moe Fly!

Forget it, I'll just plant it as an ornamental flower. I don't even know if it'll look good.

Finally, only the reward for the [Temporary Mission] remained, and Anjie excitedly clicked to claim it.

A pop-up window immediately appeared.

Congratulations, Master, on completing the [Temporary Quest] and obtaining the Sky Fortress. Reward: One of your Pokémon's Individual Values ​​(IVs) reaches maximum.

Holy crap!

Upon seeing this, Anjie almost jumped out of bed. Was the reward really this generous? It was practically comparable to the achievement reward he received when he obtained the Nibel Plateau!

With trembling hands, Anjie checked the Individual Values ​​(IVs) of Munchlax and Sobble. In the end, he decided to use the reward on Munchlax.

Firstly, it's most cost-effective to use it on this animal, because its special attack is only a pitiful 6 points, and the lower the individual value, the more cost-effective it is to use.

Although Special Attack isn't very useful for Munchlax, Ange is determined to max out all of Munchlax's IVs.

Admittedly, in the game, not all Pokémon have the best individual values ​​(IVs); it depends on the situation.

For example, Pokémon like Munchlax, whose base Speed ​​stat is very slow, don't actually need to stack Speed ​​IVs, because even if you do, it won't get any faster, and it will easily suffer when trapped in Trick Room (in Trick Room, the slower Pokémon will attack first).

For example, for a Pokémon like Gardevoir that relies on Special Attack, the lower its Attack IV, the better. Attack is not only useless for it, but also harmful. If it gets confused and its Attack is high, it will hit itself too hard, and might even kill itself.

But games are games, and reality is reality.

According to Diancie, the system gave it a hint that if a regular Pokémon has a chance to become as powerful as a legendary Pokémon, the prerequisite is that all its Individual Values ​​(IVs) are maxed out.

(Note: This is the author's own interpretation, or you could say a major modification, because the author has obsessive-compulsive disorder and feels uncomfortable if the protagonist's Pokémon's IVs aren't all at maximum.)

Ange suspects that his little diamond will mutate into Diancie because his individual values ​​are all maxed out.

As Angel used the reward on Munchlax, its stats changed; its Special Attack IVs, which were originally in the single digits, instantly reached full.

Little Capbie

[Attribute] General

【Characteristics】Thick fat

[Gender] Male

[Level] 34

[Skills] Impact, Lick, Round, Recycle, Crave, Bite, Charge, Swallow, Press Down, Throw, Slam, Act Cute, Seed Bomb, Split Tile, Double Back.

Individual Value

Blood volume: 29

Attack: 25

Physical defense: 20

Special Attack: 31

Special Defense: 10

Speed: 31

This gives Snorlax full IVs in Speed ​​and Special Attack. Although these are not very important stats, it is still a huge improvement.

The individual values ​​for special defense are a bit ugly.

During this time, Munchlax's level also increased significantly. Ange discovered that wearing the Experience Charm was indeed effective, as both Munchlax and Diancie's leveling speed improved.

After shutting down the system, Anjie went to sleep contentedly.

The next day, Anjie was sleeping soundly when Diancie knocked on the door.

"Anjie, wake up! Wake up!"

"Anjie, something terrible has happened!"

……

Anjie groggily opened the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she asked, "What happened?"

Without saying a word, Tianxi grabbed Anjie and ran outside. Anjie wasn't even wearing shoes, and Tianxi just pulled her to the door like that.

Just then, the sun peeked over the horizon, and the first rays of golden light shone on the Nibel Plateau, allowing Ange to see the scene before him clearly and instantly dispelling his sleepiness.

"This...this is..."

The lush green lawn in front of Anjie's house had been transformed into a wide plaza, made up of huge stone slabs with green moss growing in the gaps between them—just like the old city walls of the former Azot Royal City!

The square was surrounded by a wall that was waist-high to Anjie. Although the wall was not high, it was very thick, and you could lie on it and sleep without fear of rolling off.

The walls were covered with moss, and Anjie's small house was located in the center of the square.

Surprisingly, this style actually has a unique kind of beauty.

The flowerbed with Gracidia flowers that Angie's family planted was still in front of the door, but it had been moved to the left. There was another identical flowerbed on the right, symmetrical to the left, but it was empty.

Anjie didn't care that she was still barefoot and ran straight out the door, going all the way to the back of the house.

Thankfully, the vegetable garden and the pond are still there.

However, at this moment, the mud loach and catfish king brothers in the pond, and the three ground squirrel brothers in the vegetable garden were all curiously observing the changes around them, not understanding how their surroundings had suddenly changed overnight.

Anjie's vegetable garden and pond were surrounded by mottled stone slabs.

Anja reassured the four Pokémon, "It's okay, nothing happened. I just did a little renovation of the house last night."

The mudskipper, the catfish king, and the two dugongs looked completely bewildered: You call this a transformation? Isn't it a miracle?

Anjie opened his system inventory and saw that the aerial fortress was indeed gone.

"Anjie, come quick!"

From the right side of the square came Diancie's shouts. Ange ran over quickly and found a huge circular cover on the ground in front of Diancie. It was the same color as the square's stone slabs and was also covered with moss.

The diameter of this lid is at least several meters.

Next to the lid stood a statue. Upon closer inspection, Ange realized that it was a statue of himself and Diancie.

"Anjie, look!"

Tianxi shook hands with the statue of Ange, and the huge dome split open from the middle, slowly receding to both sides, revealing an underground space with a long spiral staircase.

"Let's go down and take a look," Ange said to Tianxi.

Following the spiral staircase downwards, Ange and Tianxi quickly arrived at the first floor. Sensing their arrival, the heavy door on the first floor opened automatically.

"It's quite advanced," An Jie said with a smile.

Stepping through the door, Angie and Tianxi saw a space flashing with colorful lights. The space was furnished with many sofas and tables, with a bar counter in front and rows of cabinets behind it.

This is... a bar?

Anjie was stunned. The system wanted him to open a bar on the Nibel Plateau? Was this a joke? Who would go to the Nibel Plateau to drink?!

There aren't many Pokémon that like drinking!

Anjie strolled around the bar and found it to be spacious and comfortably furnished. The sofas were not only for resting, but also for sleeping.

The colorful lights were too dazzling, so Anjie found the switch and turned them off.

My eyes felt instantly better.

Each person and their Pokémon also visited the back of the bar, where there was a kitchen and a storage room, all fully equipped.

After visiting the bar, Angie and Tianxi went to the next floor. To their surprise, it was filled with rooms, somewhat like... a dormitory? The rooms varied in size, and there were hundreds of them.

This is the employee dormitory of a shady factory.

Moreover, the airspace above the dormitory is very open, so even large flying Pokémon like Talonflame and Crowbar can fly around without any problem.

The surrounding walls have ventilation and lighting facilities, ensuring that the place is bright enough and not damp, even though it is underground.

After a tour, Angie and Tianxi discovered that there was a facility leading outside, a very large elevator.

They tried it and took the elevator back to the ground.

Anjie then discovered that there were several stone houses built of white stone slabs not far from the dome. These were the entrances and exits of the elevator. Anjie and his friends could use the elevator to go to any floor below, including the dormitory and the bar, without having to take the long spiral staircase.

The purpose of that round cover that can be opened at will is to allow ventilation and sunlight into the entire underground space.

Next, they visited the third floor, which was a huge warehouse with a low temperature, used for storing large quantities of food, vegetables, and other supplies.

Anjie really liked this warehouse. Although he had a system backpack, he couldn't possibly carry everything in it!

This warehouse came at just the right time!

Although this warehouse can't keep food fresh forever like Anjie's system backpack or the refrigerator in the kitchen, its preservation capacity is sufficient, and more importantly, it has a large storage capacity!

Next, Ange and Tianxi took the elevator to the fourth floor, which turned out to be a huge brewery!

Now Anjie has a place to put the expensive brewing equipment he acquired earlier.

Since Ange didn't know anything about brewing, he and Tianxi just took a casual look around. Afterwards, they went to the fifth floor, which was the last floor of the underground space.
