Chapter 78 Building a Log House

"Here's the thing, there will be a banquet at the palace in two days. Do you have time to attend?" Ji Meiya asked on the other end of the phone.

"A dinner party? What kind of dinner party?" Anjie asked, puzzled.

Ji Meiya said, "We have a research team in the Parthian region. Recently, that research team came here to exchange research, so Father decided to hold a banquet to entertain them."

Since you awoke, you haven't made a formal appearance, so your father would like to invite you to attend, if you have the time.

Anjie thought for a moment, deciding that it would be good to show her face, and agreed, "Okay, what time is the banquet?"

Ji Meiya said happily, "You can come at 7:00 PM, before it starts."

"Okay, I'll definitely be there on time," Anjie said.

"See you then."

See you then.

After ending the call with Ji Meiya, Anjie took the mutated lizards back to the Nibel Plateau.

Since the riverbank has been cleared, this afternoon is the time for the Pokémon to plant trees for Angel.

After lunch, Angel and the Pokémon went to the riverbank. Two Farfetch'd, who had just joined the Nebel Plateau, also came, each carrying a small shovel given to them by Angel, looking very proud.

Having prior experience planting trees, the Pokémon hardly needed any guidance from Ange this time. They spontaneously got to work, with clear division of profits, some digging holes, others fertilizing... and the two Farfetch'd were using their shovels with incredible speed.

Anjie took out the fruit trees she had bought in advance from her system inventory.

To my shame, because he doesn't have enough happiness points, Anjie can only buy a portion of the fruit trees for now. The happiness points he earns each day are only enough to buy the fruit trees he needs to plant that day, and he can't buy them all at once.

Actually, he could spend money to buy fruit trees from outside and plant them. Speaking of which, Anjie doesn't have enough happiness points, but he has accumulated quite a few Alliance Coins.

However, he always felt that the fruit trees bought from outside were definitely not as good as those in the system store, so he didn't want to settle for less.

Take your time, there's no rush.

He estimated the area of ​​the riverbank; once it was all planted, winter would be almost over.

Anjie's first batch of fruit trees were peaches and berries, and he bought 200 saplings of each type. Since the riverbank area was limited, and he wanted to grow a variety of fruit trees, he didn't plan to plant too many of each type.

Peach and berry are relatively common tree fruits, and the seedlings are not expensive, selling for 15 happiness points each in the system store.

Fruit tree seedlings are more expensive than ordinary fruit tree seedlings.

After entrusting the fruit trees to the Pokémon, Ange called out to Diancie, "Dianci, I'm leaving this to you. I have to go back now!"

Tianxi waved and nodded at Ange from afar to indicate that she understood, and only then did Ange turn around and walk back.

"Gang~"

When the little Snorlax saw that its master was about to leave, it quickly threw away the dirt in its hand, clapped its hands, and ran quickly to its master's side.

"Are you coming home with me?" Anjie asked with a smile.

"Gang~ Gang~" with Master, together.

The little Snorlax nodded.

"Then let's go together." Anjie affectionately rubbed its head.

(≧≦) The little Snorlax squinted its eyes with a look of pure enjoyment.

The Lizard, who was with the Water-type Pokémon, saw its master leave with Snorlax and hurriedly ran after them, shouting:

"Chirp~ Chirp~" Wait for me! Wait for me!

Upon hearing the sound, Angel and Munchlax immediately stopped and stood still, waiting for the Lizard to transform.

After the three of them returned home together, Anjie led them to the secret fortress and found the garbage disposal site inside the fortress.

It turns out there's a small mezzanine beneath the fifth level of the secret fortress, which is where the garbage disposal facility is located. If I hadn't asked Tianxi, Ange wouldn't have known.

The main reason was that he didn't need to know beforehand, so Tianxi didn't mention it, because it disliked the place quite a bit.

It turns out that all the garbage generated by Angel and his friends living on the Nibel Plateau was dumped here, then decomposed into pollution-free substances and put back into the soil of the Nibel Plateau to become nutrients for the earth, including the Pokémon's poop.

The most important material that Angel needs to make fertilizer is Pokémon poop.

Ange can buy all the other materials, but he can't buy Pokémon poop.

At the waste disposal site, Anjie saw several large furnace-like machines, where different types of waste were fed into different furnaces for decomposition.

The Pokémon's poop was placed right in the middle.

"Gang~"

"Meow~"

When Munchlax and Ember Spirit learned that the furnace contained poop, they immediately wrinkled their faces and backed away, looking disgusted, even though the furnace was sealed and there was no way for any smell to escape.

Anja quickly located the operating device of the waste disposal area. He turned off the decomposition setting of the furnace in the middle, so that Pokémon poop would no longer be directly decomposed.

After that, Anjie only needs to put the other materials into the furnace and let them ferment with the feces to quickly obtain special fertilizer.

After typing away at the control panel, An Jie set the central furnace to "fermentation" and "fertilizer production," then said to his two apprentices:

"Alright, let's go."

Upon hearing this, the two Pokémon eagerly followed Ange to the garbage disposal site.

Once on the ground, Ange dialed Flamel's number.

"Hello, Your Highness, is there something you need?" Flamel's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Flommel, I'd like to order a batch of materials," Ange said to Flommel.

Anjie plans to buy the fertilizer materials from outside using Alliance Coins, as she doesn't have enough Happiness Points.

"Please speak, Your Highness, and I will contact them for you," Flamel said.

So Ange told Flamel about the materials he needed.

After noting down what Ange wanted, Flamel said, "It seems that the materials Your Highness needs are all related to fertilizer and crops."

Anjie said admiringly, "You even know this?"

Flamel: "Actually, my parents were farmers, and I did farm work in my hometown when I was a child."

Anjie suddenly realized, "No wonder."

Flamel thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll contact a farmer from my hometown for you. He should have all the things you need."

Anjie said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you."

Flamel: "No trouble at all."

With the matter settled, Anja was in a good mood, so he said to Snorlax and Ember Spirit, "Let's go, let's get to work."

"Gang~ Gang~" What work are you doing?

The little Snorlax looked puzzled.

The lizard looked at Anjie with a puzzled expression.

Anjie called Robert No. 1 and led his two apprentices to the warehouse, where they saw a corner piled with neatly stacked pieces of wood.

"G-G-G-What are we doing here?"

The little Snorlax asked.

Anjie explained, "I plan to build houses for my riding goat and its lambs, so I need to make planks out of all this wood first."

The riding goats and riding lambs do not live in the secret fortress. Angie invited them, but they declined because they do not like living underground. They prefer to live in the open and have closer contact with nature than in the secret fortress.

Some time ago, Anjie was thinking about raising some cattle and sheep, so he had the idea of ​​building cattle sheds and sheep pens. At this time, he suddenly realized that if that was the case, why didn't he build wooden houses on the ground for his riding goats and lambs?

He got so much timber from clearing the riverbank; wouldn't it be perfect to use it to build a wooden house?!

So he consulted his riding goat and his riding lambs, and sure enough, this time they didn't object. They would be happy to live in a wooden house built on the grass.

In truth, they also envy other Pokémon for having shelter from the wind and rain.

After Ange told Munchlax and Lizard about her idea, the two Pokémon were eager to help.

Anjie then said to Robert 1, "Robert 1, could you please cut these pieces of wood into planks like these?" As he spoke, he handed Robert 1 the blueprints he had prepared in advance.

Although Anjie had studied the construction of the wooden house in advance, he still had to rely on Robert 1 when it came to actually doing the work.

Robert 1 took the blueprints, his eyes gleaming blue, and scanned them into his brain. He then looked at Angie and replied:

"No problem!"

As it finished speaking, Anjie saw its hand retract into its wrist, and in its place, a chainsaw and a knife were extended.

Soon, Robert 1 cut out the planks one by one, while Angel, Snorlax, and Lizard could only help with some auxiliary work.

Luckily, Robert 1 was there. It might be a bit slow, but it's really efficient at its work. Without it, Angie, Snorlax, and the lizard would probably be staring at each other blankly today.

Soon the afternoon passed, and Anjie and his team had processed various wooden planks of different shapes and thicknesses, piling them up in a corner of the warehouse.

Seeing that it was getting late, Anja said to Munchlax and Ember Spirit, "Alright, that's enough for today. Let's go back and cook. It's getting late."

"Gang~"

"Chirp~"

The two Pokémon nodded in agreement.

Anjie patted the head of the lizard and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"Gang~ Gang~" It's not hard work, I like working with my master.

The little Snorlax grinned.

"Chirp~ Chirp~" Me, awesome, not afraid of hardship!

The lizard gave itself a thumbs-up in praise.

Anjie then turned to Robert 1 and said, "You've worked hard too."

However, Robert 1 simply stared blankly at Ange with wide eyes and gave no response whatsoever.

It really was a lump of iron... Anjie shook his head helplessly.

After leaving the warehouse, Angie and the others went home to cook dinner. Before long, the Pokémon that planted the tree returned, and it was time for a pleasant dinner.

During dinner, the family of five sat around the table when Anjie suddenly said, "By the way, the royal palace invited me to a banquet in two days. Are you going?"

"Just now~" A banquet? What's that?

The little Snorlax quickly swallowed the bulging food in its mouth, then asked in confusion.

"Chirp~ Chirp~" I know! I know!

The lizard eagerly raised its hand and spoke.

Anjie laughed and said, "Alright, then let's invite the 'Transforming Lizard' to introduce everyone to what a banquet is."

The lizard was immediately satisfied. It stood on the chair, cleared its throat, and explained with a serious expression, "Chirp~ Chirp~ Chirp~" The banquet was a feast held in the evening, where many people would gather and there would be lots of delicious food...

The little Snorlax was good at grasping the key points. When the Lizard said, "There are lots of delicious things there," its ears twitched quickly, and then it tugged at Angel.

"G-G-G-" Are there really a lot of delicious foods?

An Jie hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, there is..."

The little Snorlax's eyes lit up immediately.

"Gang~ Gang~" Master, I'm going, take me there!

Anjie pinched its cheek and said affectionately, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax was immediately delighted, its eyes narrowing into slits.

"Chirp~ Chirp~" I'm going too, I'm going too.

The lizard quickly replied.

Ange looked at Diancie and asked, "Dianci, what about you?"

Diancie: "Since everyone else is going, of course I'll go too!"

Anjie: "Okay, let's go together then."

"Chirp~" Yay!

The lizard cheered.

As for the tree-pillow koala, no one asked for its opinion; its silence meant agreement.

The next day, after returning home and having lunch with everyone, Anjie said to Tianxi and the others, "Since we're going to a banquet, shouldn't we buy some new outfits?"

Anjie used to buy his clothes directly from the system store, but recently he was short of money, so he decided to go shopping in Azot Royal City.

"Just now" outfit?

The little Snorlax tilted its head, looking puzzled.

"It's just nice-looking clothes," Anjie explained.

The little Snorlax suddenly realized, "Gang~" Do I have to wear it too?

Anjie said, "Of course you can wear it if you want!"

"Gang~ Gang~" Then I want to wear the same clothes as my master.

The little Snorlax said excitedly.

Anjie patted his head and said, "Okay, then let's buy the same one."

Upon hearing this, the lizard immediately protested, "Chirp~ Chirp~" I want some too! I want some too!

Anjie quickly replied, "You have one too, and Tianxi and the Tree Pillow Koala also have one."

The lizard was immediately satisfied upon hearing this, and a smile appeared on Tianxi's face.

"Let's pack our things and leave right away. We still have work to do when we get back," Anjie said.

"Gang~"

"Chirp~"

Snorlax and Ember Spirit cheered and quickly ran upstairs, while Diancie stayed behind to help Ange clean up the dishes.

After packing their things, Anjie and her family of five went to the royal city of Azot through a spatial passage. This was the first time the five of them had gone out together.

As they left the Snorlax house, Diancie asked, "Where are we going to buy clothes?"

Anjie took out his phone and said, "Let me take a look!" He then started searching for information online.

"Got it, let's go to this one!" A moment later, Anjie showed the place she found to Tianxi. "It's a brand store with a good reputation. They specialize in formal wear. Let's go to this one."

Tianxi glanced at it, and since she didn't know much about it, she could only listen to Anjie, "Let's go with this one then."

"G-G-G-" Let me see, let me see!

"Chirp~ Chirp~" And me too!

Snorlax and Lizard also came over.

Anjie lowered the phone a little so they could see it, but they couldn't understand it at all.
