Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 166 - 161: Advancement!
It’s not surprising that Tang Yiyi is so amazed. In today’s world, although the status of superpower users is much higher than that of ordinary people, in reality, even superpower users dare not casually consume their powers. The reason is that recovering superpowers after depletion is challenging. Currently, several types of recovery potions have been developed, and their prices are frighteningly high, not to mention that ordinary superpower users, even with credit points, can’t buy them, because they are almost entirely monopolized by major families and the government.
Without superpower recovery potions, eating mutant beast meat with corresponding attributes is also a solution. However, the types of edible mutant beast meat currently developed are extremely limited, mostly available only in high-end restaurants and large families, and the price is still terrifyingly expensive!
Ordinary superpower users can’t enjoy recovery potions or afford edible mutant beast meat of corresponding attributes; they can only rely on training to slowly recover. But now is not like a hundred years ago; there are no zombies at present, and naturally, no zombie crystal cores for superpower users to absorb. Furthermore, there is very little spiritual energy between heaven and earth, coupled with insufficient training methods, recovery through training is slow.
People like Li Zheng and others nearly depleted their superpowers to hunt the Second Level Red Fire Scorpion. After returning to Safe City, they’ll need to train for several days to recover! Unlike Tang Yiyi, after eating meat, she recovers her superpowers!
If this news spreads, Tang Yiyi will certainly be envied to death!
After her surprise, Tang Yiyi quickly finished her dinner, eating a large bowl of Red Fire Scorpion meat along with Blue Scale Grass until it was gone! After consuming such a large bowl, she felt her veins heating up, as if about to ignite. Unfortunately, she’s never attended the Superpower Academy and lacks decent training methods, relying solely on her superpowers.
Speaking of which, back when the apocalypse broke out a hundred years ago, zombies and superpower users appeared one after another. At that time, superpower users didn’t have training methods; even attack skills had to be comprehended and explored by themselves. Fortunately, once superpowers awaken, if no other training methods exist, they will operate according to rules autonomously, the simplest and most basic method.
Over years of development, there are various types of Superpower Academies worldwide, mastering better training methods. Once you enter the academy, you will be divided into different classes based on talent level and obtain corresponding training methods.
Tang Yiyi was unlucky, first falsely accused, then unexpectedly pregnant, and awakened her Fire Ability accidentally during her escape with system assistance. She doesn’t even dare to use her true identity; entering the Superpower Academy is out of the question.
Luckily, her talent is astonishing; even with the most primitive training method, her advancement speed is freakishly fast! Especially since she can eat mutant beast meat! Her treatment is so good it can make other superpower users envious to the point of death!
The Tang Family has no business at night; she absorbed too much Fire Element Energy and started training upon returning to her room. Through this training, she found that the Second Level barrier was nudged somewhat, already not far from level advancement.
In the following days, Tang Yiyi cooked Red Fire Scorpion in various ways for almost every meal: buns, dumplings, wontons, braised, boiled, cold stir, eating as she pleased! Zhang Xue, Zhang Haoyu, and Pang Zhi were left drooling over her meals!
Zhang Haoyu was fine; his body was okay, and his superpowers partially awakened. According to Pudding, he could consume a small amount of Red Fire Scorpion meat. Seeing his envy, Tang Yiyi portioned some for him, raising Zhang Haoyu’s spirits to a beaming complexion, to the jealousy of Zhang Xue over his own son!
Pang Zhi felt even more bitter! He wasn’t even a superpower user, showing no signs of awakening, and his injuries still hurt daily, making life incredibly tough! He could only eat bland food and medicinal dishes; despite Tang Yiyi’s preparation being quite tasty, monotonous daily consumption wore him down!
The medicinal dish was bland, with a slight medicinal taste. Pang Zhi initially enjoyed it but quickly grew tired of the same meal daily, especially when contrasted with the enticing Red Fire Scorpion!
Unfortunately, the mutant beast situation can’t be disclosed. He fears bringing trouble to Tang Yiyi, not daring to mention it to Pang Xiao, leaving him without a confidant to share his grievances, feeling overwhelmingly dreary!
Tang Yiyi continued her meals; with constant training, the Second Level barrier grew increasingly fragile. After consuming a large bowl of braised Second Level Red Fire Scorpion meat, the Fire Element Energy in her reached its tipping point!
Coincidentally, it was nighttime. After devouring dinner, she ordered Milk Tea and Pudding to watch over Tang Yuan, while she headed into the underground practice room. Lacking any experience in advancing to the Second Level, unable to find answers online, and without a mentor’s guidance, she could only rely on her own exploration.
She had no idea what to expect from Second Level advancement and dared not level up in the bedroom, fearing she’d frighten or harm Tang Yuan. Thankfully, the basement was already prepared, with Pudding and Milk Tea watching Tang Yuan, enabling her to focus on leveling up downstairs.
The night was calm, no different from usual. Zhang Xue and Pang Zhi were oblivious to Tang Yiyi’s leveling, whereas Zhang Haoyu sensed something subtly from dinner time, feeling uneasy.
His relationship with Tang Yiyi wasn’t close, caught unawares initially, coupled with incomplete superpower awakening and his young age, sensing vague premonitions, "seeing" the raging flame, yet lacking a precise direction.
The heat of the flame seemed to incinerate everything, rendering him deeply uneasy. Unknowing of Tang Yiyi’s advancement, he mistook this sudden "premonition" as a warning sign, filled with anxiety.
Meanwhile, Tang Yiyi, in the basement, having consumed several Red Fire Scorpions, the Fire Element Energy accumulated within had reached advancement, flowing smoothly, aside from the physical strengthening causing discomfort, suffering wasn’t much.
Her advancement took an entire night; upon awakening from training, she found impurities expelled from her body forming a hard shell, shattering into fragments as she moved.
As she leveled up, the mask on her face and gloves on her hands automatically returned to her system backpack. The body reinforcement from leveling up expelled impurities and toxins, even the cells seemed to regenerate entirely, transforming her inside and out.
Her features grew more refined, her skin appearing paler and softer, seemingly able to release water, yet tougher than before!
Tang Yiyi squinted slightly, then quickly moved, executing a set of punches! This set was only a part of the martial arts she learned at school, fundamental and moderate in damage, but this time, the feeling was entirely different! (To be continued.
