The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 23: It's Over, Not a Dime

The Kingdom of Azot is a special country famous for its mysterious science. Five hundred years ago, the mysterious scientist Eliphas pushed this feature of the kingdom to its peak. He invented many masterpieces. Since then, the Kingdom of Azot has become a place of yearning for scientists all over the world, and the kingdom has always been proud of it.

Eliphas is actually the teacher of Angel's twin sister Anna. If Angel had not been too weak at that time, Eliphas would also be Angel's teacher.

In the year that Angie came of age, he heard that Eliphas used mysterious science to create an artificial Pokémon, Magearna, for his sister Anna.

Unfortunately, Angie "died" not long after that, so he never saw the magical artificial Pokémon.

Because the Kingdom of Azot has always been famous throughout the world as the "Super Mechanical City", the Royal City of Azot is naturally very prosperous. It is not only an important academic place, but also a famous tourist destination.

After Angel and Diancie passed through the tall city gate and entered the royal city, they saw tall gears and floating elevators everywhere. The name of the Machinery City was well-deserved.

The entire Royal City of Azoth is like a huge machine that is running at high speed. People living here hardly need to walk by themselves, as there are mechanisms everywhere for them to use.

It has been a long time since I saw so many people. Looking at the people coming and going on the street, Anjie was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Angie~Angie~" Seeing Angel standing there in a daze, Diancie gently tugged at his clothes.

"Ah?" Anjie came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"Where are we going now?" Diancie asked softly.

Compared to five hundred years ago, the city of Azoth has indeed changed a lot. Although there are shadows of the past everywhere, it is also different from the past in every aspect.

"I don't know either." At this moment, Anjie felt that everything was in the dark.

"Why don't we go for a walk first?" Diancie suggested.

Anjie nodded, "Okay."

Then, one man and one Pokémon set off, first taking an elevator to a bridge, and after crossing the bridge, they took a cable car.

Through the glass of the cable car, Angel and Diancie can clearly see the city below. The landscape of this city is somewhat different from that of ordinary modern cities.

There are quite a lot of mechanical facilities left over from Elifas five hundred years ago preserved here, so it has a certain retro feel. However, these mechanical facilities were built after Angel's "death", so they look very unfamiliar to Angel.

At the same time, there are a large number of very modern shops in the city, including cafes, restaurants, clothing stores, etc. There are also people who dress fashionably and wear clothes that are completely different from those five hundred years ago. Everything makes Angel feel as if he is in a state of time and space confusion.

After getting off the cable car, Angel and Diancie came to a busy commercial street. This should be one of the most lively and prosperous areas in the Royal City of Azoth. Pedestrians shopping with Pokémon can be seen everywhere. They are talking and laughing, enjoying the style of the city.

While walking around, Angel suddenly realized a serious problem. The system task asked him to come to the Kingdom of Azoth to purchase food ingredients, but he didn't have a penny!

"Dian Xi, we don't seem to have money to buy anything." Anjie stood on the side of the road and stared at Diancie.

“How about… I conjure up a diamond and you sell it?” Diancie joked.

Angel spread his hands and said, "It would be a good idea if you could keep your diamonds from disappearing." Pink diamonds are indeed rare.

Diancie: . . .

"What should we do?" Diancie asked.

"Why don't we first ask around to find out where there's a vegetable market or supermarket nearby," Anjie suggested, just as a scout.

Diancie's cognition was still stuck in the past five hundred years, and it didn't know what a supermarket was, but it just took what Anjie said and didn't ask any more questions.

After some inquiries, Anjie and Diancie found a large supermarket with good reviews that sold everything, including various ingredients.

When one person and one Pokémon enter the supermarket, it's like a country bumpkin entering the city, everything they see is new to them.

Although Anjie was a time traveler and had been to a supermarket in his previous life, many of the things sold in the supermarket in the Pokémon world were not available in his previous life, so he was able to open his eyes.

After shopping for most of the day, Angie and Diancie could only stare blankly, so they walked out of the supermarket.

Standing at the entrance of the supermarket, Anjie sighed deeply, "It seems that the most urgent thing is to make money first."

Why can't the system's happiness points be exchanged for alliance coins? Anjie was troubled.

"How to make money?" Diancie didn't understand.

"How about we set up a stall and sell steamed buns?" An Jie said with an idea.

Diancie's eyes lit up when she heard that, "Yes, Anjie's cooking is so delicious, there must be people willing to patronize the stall!"

An Jie could only think of this one way to make money, "Okay, then let's try setting up a breakfast stall first."

At this moment, Diancie was suddenly stunned, and then whispered to Anjie: "Anjie, the system has a task!"

"Ah? At this time?" Anjie was surprised.

Dian Xi nodded slightly.

"What mission?" asked Angel.

Diancie pulled Angel to an empty corner and then showed Angel the pop-up window for accepting the task.

[Temporary Task] Set up a stall in Azoth Royal City to earn your first pot of gold. Do you want to accept it?
Be

no

Now that everything has been settled, of course I’ll choose “yes”.

Then another task appeared in Anjie's task bar.

[Temporary Task] Set up a stall in the Azoth Royal City to earn the first pot of gold - to be completed.

After taking on the new task, the man and the Pokémon decided to look around first to see where it would be suitable to set up a stall.

As time passed, it was soon time for the sun to set. After some investigation, each man and each Pokémon selected a park as the location for tomorrow's stall. It was said that many people came here every morning to exercise, so there must be many people willing to buy breakfast.

Finally, Angie and Diancie went to the palace.

Standing outside the palace gate, looking at the serious-looking guards not far away, Angel was a little dazed for a moment.

Compared to five hundred years ago, the palace has not changed much, but the people inside are no longer the same people from five hundred years ago.

Anjie's parents and sister have all passed away.

Just when Anjie was in a daze, he suddenly found that his hand was being held.

It's Diancie.

Diancie's hand was small, and could only hold four of Angie's fingers, but it was very warm.

Seeing Angie looking at him, Diancie smiled sweetly, and a warm feeling surged through Angie's heart.

"Let's go home." Angel said with a smile.

This is no longer his home, he has his own home now.

"Yeah." Diancie nodded heavily.

Just as the man and the Pokémon turned to leave, the big iron gate of the palace suddenly opened, and a black-haired girl in a uniform and black-framed glasses walked out.

"Miss Flamel, off work?"

Seeing the girl, the guards greeted her warmly.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Flamel also responded to the guard in a friendly manner.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." The guards waved their hands quickly. Flamel looked at Angel's back and asked the guards in confusion: "Who is that gentleman? What's the matter with you here?"

The guard shook his head. "I don't know him. He must be a tourist. He probably came here to see the palace."

Flamel nodded, but there was still confusion in her eyes. The man's hair... was exactly the same golden hair that was unique to members of the royal family.

Although there are many people with blonde hair, there are differences between blonde hair. The blonde hair of the Azoth royal family is very pure gold, the kind that sparkles under the sun.

Is there another member of the royal family living abroad? Wait, could it be the king's illegitimate child? Flamel thought wildly.

No, no, no, Flamel quickly shook her head away from her unrealistic guess. Now there are only three members of the royal family left, His Majesty the King, Princess Himea and Prince Rakel. If His Majesty really had an illegitimate child, he would probably have been eager to bring him into the palace.

With all the royal family members dying out like this, how can the royal family care whether it is an illegitimate child or not!

Probably just a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Flamel turned and walked towards home.

"Miss Flamel, see you tomorrow." The guard said goodbye to Flamel.

"See you tomorrow."

On Anjie's side, after teleporting Diancie back home, he returned to the banks of the Nibel River.

"Ride the dragon!" Angel shouted towards the lake.

"Wow~~"

With a sound of breaking water, the sleek head of a dragon emerged from the water. It hummed softly and swam towards the shore.

"Are you hungry?" Anjie asked, touching Chenglong's neck.

"Woo~~"

Chenglong nodded honestly.

"Thank you for your hard work." He took out a few steamed buns and fed them to Chenglong bit by bit. After Chenglong was full, he jumped onto his back.

"We go home."

"Woo~~~"

The dragon accelerated and swam towards the Nibel Plateau.

Because the journey back was against the current, Angie didn't get home until dark. Snorlax had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him with Diancie and Turtle.

During dinner, the family of four sat around a table. Suddenly, Anjie shrugged his nose and said, "Why do I smell alcohol?"

Diancie silently pointed at the tree-pillowed bear.

Angel went close to the tree-pillowed bear and sniffed it. As expected, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol, which also had a hint of wine aroma.

"Tree Pillow Tail Bear, you have this hobby? You bought some wine right after I got your salary?" Angel said in surprise.

Although the system store does not sell food, it does sell alcohol.

The Tree-Pillow Bear ignored Angel's question and continued to stuff his dinner into his mouth.

Angel didn't say much. They were all adult Pokémon, so it was okay to have a little drink. Everyone has little hobbies.

After dinner, Angel and Snorlax began to prepare the materials needed for tomorrow's stall. Angel also used happiness points to buy a mobile food truck from the system store, which almost used up all his happiness points at once.

Happiness points: 505
(;`)Looking at the remaining numbers in the happiness point balance column, Anjie felt like crying, he earned the money with great effort but spent it very quickly.

Forget it, there’s no point in making money if you don’t use it.

When everything was almost ready, Angie went to the cooking training room with Snorlax to train for an hour, completed their daily tasks, and then washed up and went to bed.

Before going to bed, Anjie casually collected the two daily rewards.

Congratulations to the owner for receiving the reward: 1 bag of high-quality salt.

Congratulations to the owner for receiving the reward: Individual value +2
???

Seeing the second reward, Anjie sat up suddenly. A golden legendary? As expected, what Diancie said was right. It turns out that daily task rewards can really give out good things!
Without any hesitation, Angie added these 2 individual values ​​to Snorlax and put them all into attack.

Little Capbie
【Attributes】General

【Characteristics】Thick fat
【Gender】Male
【Level】23
[Skills] Impact, Licking, Rounding, Recycling, Desire, Biting, Charging, Swallowing, Slamming, Acting Coquettishly, Seed Bomb, Breaking Tiles, Double Return.

【Individual value】

Blood volume: 29
Attack: 19
Physical Defense: 20
Special Attack: 6
Special defense: 10
Speed: 31
During this period, Snorlax's level increased by several levels. This was the result of its daily training in the training room and eating the food made by Angel.

However, there was no obvious change in Ange's own physique. In Diancie's words, the growth rate of Ange's physique points was much slower than the increase in Snorlax's level, so it couldn't be rushed.

Snorlax had fallen asleep at this time, completely unaware that he had become stronger again.

The next day, Angie got up earlier than ever before. Before it was even fully light, he pulled Snorlax out of bed.

"Little Snorlax, I'll give you one in the store today, is that ok?"

"Gang~~" Got it.

Snorlax looked like he was still sleepy. He yawned and responded to Angie.

"Dianxi, please keep an eye on it." Anjie had no choice but to remind Diancie again.

"Don't worry." Diancie said, "Everything will be fine with me here."

Anjie nodded. He was completely confident about Diancie.

“Odd~Odd~”

At this time, the cry of the bluebird father was heard outside the door. This time, it was the bluebird that sent Anjie to the Royal City of Azoth.

"Then I'll go out." Angel hugged the Tree-Pillowed Bear in his arms. It was the bear that accompanied Angel to set up a stall in the Royal City of Azoth today.

"Go early and come back early, and be careful." Diancie instructed Angel.

"Know it."

After trotting out the door, Angele climbed onto the bluebird's back, patted its neck and said, "I'll leave it to you today!"

“Strange~~”

The bluebird father nodded, hummed softly, flapped his wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the direction of Azoth Royal City facing the rising sun.

Feeling the cool breeze in the morning, Andrzej sighed, "Survival is not easy!" He glanced at the tree-pillowed bear sleeping soundly in his arms, "You are the lucky one!"

As they passed the waterfall on the way, Angie noticed that even now, there were still Magikarp climbing the waterfall.

Seeing that Magikarp was working so hard, Angie suddenly felt full of energy.

Traveling by air is indeed much faster than traveling by water, and soon Angel arrived outside the city gate.
