Elf-like Life

Chapter 76, The President's Commendation

till the end,

The moment Chairman Fat Ding walked out of the office looking dejected, a familiar burst of laughter echoed through the room once again.

"Hahaha, Jigglypuff, your cooking skills are still the same as always~"

"Exactly, exactly, there's been absolutely no improvement!"

Fatdog clutched the precious gift from the legendary expedition team tightly, thankfully the perfect apple wasn't used as an ingredient in this cooking.

"I'm terrified. If I had used this perfect apple for the experiment, it would have been a complete disaster. I'll definitely regret it tonight and won't be able to sleep."

Wait, what kind of look is this Jigglypuff with?

Not only was it covered in dirt, but it also had its precious perfect apple perched atop its round head, spinning happily in circles.

Seeing that the president was alright, the head steward, the musical note parrot, was so excited that he almost cried:

"Waaaaah,

Please don't scare me, President! I'd be worried to death if you made such a commotion!

Puffy Ding paused and said:

"It's nothing, we were just doing a cooking experiment."

It turns out that Fat Cat couldn't wait to taste the perfect apple gift brought by the legendary expedition team, so he wanted to cook a lost dish called "Legendary Apple Crisps".

The legendary apple crisps are extremely complicated to make.

But Jigglypuff has half a set of cooking utensils in its office, which contains a lost recipe that even the genius chef sprites of the past couldn't recreate. Jigglypuff wants to give it a try.

Of course, he failed.

(Actually, Jigglypuff's cooking skills have always been terrible; his actual skill level is several levels lower than Alakazam and the others.)

Fatdog turned around again and said:

"Forget it, I'll just contact the top chef team in the cafeteria later."

"There are highly skilled master chefs over there. With a little effort, we can definitely recreate that delicious dish."

At that moment, Charizard also returned to the Wigglypuff Guild.

Apart from the guild elders who had just scattered, the Legendary Expedition Team and Guild Leader Fatdog stood in a row.

【!】Next up was an award ceremony that the two little ones had never even imagined!

Yes, you read that right!

Instead of sleeping with his eyes open, Fatki started giving rewards very seriously!!

"My little apprentices in the Starry Night Expedition, I've already felt your sincere enthusiasm from our old friends~"

Charmander + Pikachu: Hey hey hey hey!

"so,"

"As our old friends would say, I need to reward you properly; you did an excellent job hosting us this time."

Pikachu was stunned the moment those words were spoken.

This attitude of praise is completely different from that of the Grand Steward, the Note Parrot, before. Who knows what big gift Jigglypuff will give next?

[Ding! The Starry Night Expedition Team has received the originally planned 1500 contribution points, plus an additional 500 points, for a total of 2000 points.]

Alakazam, representing the legendary expedition team, also stepped forward and said:

"You two did a great job. The following props are for you, and I hope they will be helpful to you on your future adventures."

[Ding! The Starry Night Expedition Team has obtained the item "Jade of Clear Skies" and placed it in the expedition team's adventure backpack.]

Jade of Clear Skies: A type of precious jade that contains the ability to change local weather. It is translucent blue and can turn any weather into clear skies.

"Wow, this prop is super expensive, thank you!"

Pikachu is the most knowledgeable about these gems. These weather-changing gems are usually only sold by the Kecleon (purple) shopkeeper, and they cost around 10000 coins.

It's incredibly precious.

Charmander, however, felt that Alakazam and the others might have said something nice to Jigglypuff in private, at least helping their side.

Honestly, neither Pikachu nor I did anything particularly praiseworthy. Are we being mentored by the legendary older generation of explorers?

With that in mind, Charmander decided to first thank the three legendary expedition leaders, as well as the Boss Jigglypuff who gave him the reward.

Puffy spun around in a circle one last time:

"It's getting late!"

"You all should get some rest too, including the musical note parrot. Everyone needs to recharge after a busy day. Perfect Apple is the best!"

"The perfect apple is the best!"

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Amidst laughter and cheers, the on-site commendation ceremony by Chairman Pang Keding came to an end.

Since the president has already said that the two little ones have performed well, what else can the chief steward, the note parrot, say but simply stand aside and appease the chubby little guy?

And of course, we can't forget to say "President SAMA is brilliant!"

It was another one of those condescending lectures like, "Although the president has commended you, you cannot be arrogant or conceited, understand?"

————Night Divider————

It was late at night.

Fat Koops Guild.

The quiet night fell once again, and the campfires on both sides of the Fat Kodama Guild bunker crackled and rustled.

It's anyone's guess how late the legendary expedition team and Chairman Fatdog will stay up for this reunion of old friends. In any case, the two little ones are both sleepy and exhausted.

To successfully host the VIP guests, this business trip was a mix of joy and hardship.

Of course, lying in the guild's haystack room right now is the happiest thing.

There are no chilly waterfalls, no strong winds in the canyons, only a warm and comfortable bed waiting for Charmander and Pikachu.

Naturally, he can hold his little tail high and sleep soundly without having to think about anything!

"Let's get some rest too, Pikachu!"

Charmander was already exhausted, as the journey back to Wigglypuff's Guild had been quite arduous. He had been feeling sleepy, at least while on Charizard's back, and now he could barely keep his eyes open.

There are also some troublesome little elves today.

That's right, it's Pikachu's turn to be annoyed today, not Charmander's.

Pikachu quietly burrowed its little head under the covers:

"Is it time to sleep, little Charmander?"

"You seem really tired. I'm a little sleepy too. Let's hurry up and say goodbye."

That's what Pikachu said, but actually Pikachu was still thinking about what Charmander had said before.

He can't sleep now.

My mind is full of Charmander's future dreams, such as leaving the Jigglypuff Guild, making my own way in the world, and creating a world of my own.

"Hey, Charmander, are you asleep?"

Charmander: zzzZZZZZ

"Wow, you're really asleep now?"

Charmander: zzzZZZZZ

Pikachu muttered to itself in bed:

"Your dream is something I never even considered. I used to think that being a member of the Jigglypuff Guild would be the most perfect thing in the world."

Looking at Charmander's orange back and its slightly upturned tail, with flames still burning quietly on its tail, Pikachu was certain that Charmander was truly asleep.

He finally spoke a little louder to himself:

"Hey, I'll think about it carefully in my dreams tonight, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean by 'conquering the world,' we'll definitely have our own little house, right?"

"Speaking of cottages, I especially like them, um..."

"Little zzzZZZ"

"HousezzZZZZ"

Pikachu gradually drifted off to sleep.

Pikachu was troubled by something he had never considered before. The two little ones' training in the Jigglypuff Guild was nearing its end. Finally, a huge thank you to all the readers! I'm also asking for your votes, rewards, favorites, and investments. That's all for this chapter!
