Congratulations, Master, on completing the [Ingredient Acquisition Task]… Reward: Constitution +2, Individual Value +2.
Congratulations, Master, on completing the [Recipe Upgrade Task]… Reward: Constitution +2, Individual Value +2.
The other rewards were all within Ange's expectations, but that Space Tunnel… Ange was stunned. Did this mean that he wouldn't have to travel back and forth between Azoth Royal City and Nibel Plateau in the future?
Thinking too much is useless. Ask Diancie tomorrow.
Then, he looked at his personal information.
Ange
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 16 (+500)
Constitution: 23
Intelligence: 12
Culinary Evaluation: An edible newbie.
Constitution increased to 23. His persistent training during this period also slightly increased his constitution.
Ange now felt full of energy. What should he do with the urge to go out and run wildly?
Ange directly ignored the increase in intelligence points. Anyway, he didn't seem to feel any change in his body.
There were also 4 Individual Value rewards. Needless to say, add them all to Munchlax!

He became stronger, and the Pokémon also became stronger. Ange felt great. Time to sleep, time to sleep.
With a pleasant mood, Ange slept until dawn.
In the morning, Ange and Diancie walked out of the room together.
"Good morning, Diancie."
"Good morning, Ange."
The two exchanged smiles.
"Diancie, I have a gift for you." Ange waved to Diancie.
Diancie's eyes lit up slightly, and it walked over with anticipation and asked, "What gift?"
"Look!" Ange took out the sachet from last night.
"Wow~ How beautiful!" Diancie happily took the sachet. "It smells so good!"
"Do you like it?" Ange asked with a smile.
"I like it." Diancie happily hung the sachet on itself.
"I knew you would like it," Ange said.
After hanging the sachet, Diancie spun around beautifully. "Does it look good?" it asked Ange.
After hanging the sachet, Diancie spun around gently, and a fragrant scent emanated from its body.
"It looks good. I knew it would suit you perfectly," Ange praised without hesitation.
The style of the sachet was a bit like a small crossbody bag, and it looked very good slung across Diancie's body. The pink color also matched Diancie very well.
"Hehe, thank you, Ange," Diancie said gently, touching the sachet.
"By the way, Diancie, there's something called a Space Tunnel in my task rewards. Do you know what that is?" Ange asked, remembering last night's reward.
"I know, I know. Come with me."
Diancie was in a good mood, hopping and skipping as it pulled Ange to the third floor and pointed to one of the many doors on the third floor, saying, "This is the doorway connecting Nibel Plateau and Azoth Royal City. Once you set up another teleportation point in Azoth Royal City, you can freely travel between Nibel Plateau and Azoth Royal City from here."
On the door, there was a string of icons showing:
Nibel Plateau Azoth Royal City
Ange suddenly understood. No wonder the system wanted him to set up a shop in the Azoth Kingdom. It must be to set up another teleportation point.
"Alright, I understand. Let's go wake up Munchlax. Time to work!"
A new day began. Ange still went to the Royal City to set up his stall, and Munchlax was still responsible for the business at home.
At noon, Ange returned from his stall and happened to see two Gogoats arrive at his doorstep.
"Good noon, Gogoats. Are you here to pick up vegetables?" Ange greeted them.
"Go~"
"Go~"
The two Gogoats nodded.
"Wait, I'll go get them for you." Ange rushed into the house.
Soon, he and Munchlax carried out large baskets of various vegetables from the house. Now, he could do physical labor easily without even panting.
23 Constitution points are amazing!
After carrying the vegetables onto the backs of the two Gogoats, Ange asked, "How is it? Can you handle it?"
"Go~"
"Go~"
The two Gogoats nodded confidently. What was this small burden? They could easily handle twice as much.
"Let's go, I'll go back with you," Ange said.
He was going to milk them.
The Gogoats nodded.
Ange and Munchlax followed the two Gogoats to the Gogoat tribe's habitat. After taking out the small and large buckets he bought from the system store from his system backpack, he began the great milking business.
The small buckets were for collecting milk, and the large buckets were for storing milk.
The Gogoats lined up one by one, waiting for Ange to milk them. Munchlax was also helping. After Ange's guidance, it also successfully milked them.
It had to be said that Munchlax's hands-on ability was still very strong.
However, after milking two Gogoats, Ange stood up with a sore back and looked at the long line of Gogoats waiting to be milked. He thought:
No, this won't work. The milking efficiency is too low! And it's tiring!
I have to think of a way.
Actually, there were special milking machines in the system store, but they were expensive. Ange felt that buying them was not worth it.
With that money, it would be better to hire the Pokémon on the plateau to help.
Thinking this, Ange said to Munchlax, "Munchlax, can you help me invite Gardevoir and Gallade over?"
"Gang~~ Gang~~" Okay, okay!
After saying that, Munchlax dropped the milking work and ran away in a puff of smoke. Soon, it led Gardevoir and Gallade over.
Gardevoir and Gallade were holding unhatched babies in their arms. They were a little confused about what Ange had called them over for.
At this time, Ange said, "Gardevoir, Gallade, how about I formally hire you as employees in my shop?"
Just in time, those Pokémon foods the royal family sent, none of his three Pokémon were willing to eat. They were just taking up space at home. It's better to use them to hire Gardevoir and Gallade to help them work.
Although none of the Pokémon at home wanted to eat them, they were indeed good things. It would be too wasteful to just leave them at home.
Gardevoir and Gallade looked at each other, a hint of puzzlement in their eyes.
An Jue continued, "You work for me. The job is to help Munchlax and Diancie greet guests every morning, and help with cleaning. In addition, come to the Skiddo here at noon to milk them, just work for half a day.
The reward is that you can eat breakfast directly in the store, and I will convert lunch and dinner into Pokémon food for you to take home, so you don't have to keep running around for a living, and you can have food and clothing after the baby hatches."
After listening to An Jue's words, both Gardevoir and Gallade showed surprise in their eyes.
"How is it? Are you willing?" An Jue asked.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~"
"Gallade~ Gallade~"
The couple nodded quickly, willing! willing! They couldn't be more willing. Where could they find such a good thing!
"Then it's settled. Come, I'll teach you how to milk now," An Jue waved to the two Pokémon happily.
Gardevoir and Gallade hurried over, listening carefully to An Jue's explanation and demonstration.
To An Jue's surprise, Gardevoir and Gallade had very strong learning abilities. They could clearly remember all the precautions after he only said them once.
As expected of high-intelligence psychic Pokémon.
Moreover, they didn't need to do anything at all. They could easily milk the milk just by using their psychic powers, and they could milk three or four Skiddo at the same time. This work efficiency… was awesome!
Almost in no time, the milking work was all completed, and An Jue and Munchlax hardly needed to intervene at all.
Looking at the buckets of fresh milk that had been milked in front of him, An Jue was extremely happy. This employee was not hired in vain!
Worth it! So worth it!
Must give a bonus! Give a bonus! An Jue decided to go back and see if he could pick out a few gifts that Gardevoir and the others could use and give them to them.
Just as An Jue was about to pick up the small buckets of Skiddo milk and put them into the big bucket, Gardevoir and Gallade waved their hands at this time.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~"
"Gallade~ Gallade~"
I saw the small buckets floating up in an orderly manner, automatically pouring the milk into the big bucket.
An Jue couldn't help but give the couple a thumbs up, "Gardevoir, Gallade, you are great!"
The couple looked at each other and were a little embarrassed by An Jue's praise.
"Let's go, let's go home," An Jue said.
Gardevoir and Gallade heard this and quickly wanted to use their psychic powers to help An Jue move the several large buckets of goat milk back, but An Jue waved his hand and said, "No need, no need."
I saw him wave his hand casually, and the buckets containing the goat milk all disappeared in place.
Gardevoir and Gallade were both very surprised.
Before leaving, An Jue said to the Skiddo leader: "Tomorrow I will send you more vegetables so that everyone can replenish themselves. Thank you for your hard work."
Anyway, he had stored a lot of vegetables at home. Only by eating better could they produce higher quality milk.
After arriving home, An Jue paid the couple their wages (Pokémon food) in advance, then sent them out of the house and told them that work would officially begin tomorrow.
The couple left happily.
On the way home, Gardevoir and his wife told everyone the news that they had been hired by An Jue, which made everyone envious. Where could they find such a job with no worries about food and drink!
There used to be the Dugtrio brothers, now there are Gardevoir and his wife, when will it be their turn!
An Jue's home.
An Jue and Munchlax put the fresh goat milk into the sterilizer for sterilization and disinfection, and then put it in the refrigerator for preservation, so that they can officially sell milk-flavored buns tomorrow.
An Jue currently has no plans to sell milk-flavored buns to Azoth Kingdom. First, the milk production of the Skiddo cannot supply two places at the same time; second, it is far more cost-effective to give milk-flavored buns to Pokémon than to humans.
An Jue already knew from Diancie that milk-flavored buns were a higher-level food than ordinary buns and steamed buns, and Pokémon would provide him with more happiness points if they ate them.
With the new Skiddo milk, the main food for An Jue's family of four in the evening was still milk-flavored buns. Milk-flavored buns had now completely become Munchlax, Diancie, and Komala's favorite.
After dinner, the family of four chatted, watched dramas, played games as usual, then entered the cooking training room to train, and finally washed up and went to bed.
Early morning~~ The bright sun rises from the forest east of the Nibel Plateau, and An Jue has already gone to set up a stall early in the morning.
In the kitchen, Munchlax is busy. It wears a tall chef's hat, a white chef's uniform, steps on its beloved small stool, and vigorously kneads a ball of dough.
White smoke is rising from the steamer not far away. Different foods are steamed in different steamers, including ordinary steamed buns, steamed buns of different flavors, and milk-flavored steamed buns that are officially on the market today.
Different aromas linger in the kitchen, and Munchlax itself is hooked and keeps swallowing.
Diancie and the others outside are not idle either. Gardevoir and Gallade came early in the morning.
Diancie is wiping the table and sweeping the floor, while Gallade and Gardevoir put some of the side dishes made by An Jue and Munchlax on each table.
Soon, the first batch of guests came to the door, namely Delphox, Greninja, and Chesnaught.
Today was Gardevoir and Gallade's first day working here at An Jue's, and the three of them wanted to see how Gardevoir and the others were doing.
Seeing the three entering the door, Diancie greeted them with a smile.
"Good morning, everyone."
"Fennekin~"
"Greninja~"
"Chesnaught~"
The three Pokémon also greeted Diancie friendly.
"Fennekin~ Fennekin~~" Why do I smell a special fragrance today?
Delphox gently shrugged its nose.
"Greninja~ Greninja~"
"Chesnaught~ Chesnaught~"
Greninja and Chesnaught also smelled it and echoed Delphox.
Diancie gave the three Pokémon a thumbs up, "Awesome, we launched a new delicacy today, milk-flavored steamed buns, you must try it later."
The three Pokémon nodded and chose a table to sit around.
As soon as the three Pokémon sat down, other Pokémon came to the door one after another, Litwick and his family, Carnivine's family... Autumn on the Nibel Plateau has already begun to have morning dew, and many Pokémon were covered in dew on the way here.
