With a good start on the first day, Tang Yiyi’s business quickly got on track. As she cooked more dishes, she earned more points. Using these points, she exchanged for hundreds of recipes, combining business with learning to cook every day. With these recipes, her small shop would launch a new dish every day, and once released, it would be imdiately snapped up by her quietly attentive custors.
Tang Yiyi looked at the ever-increasing credit points in her account and felt increasingly cheerful. However, just as she opened the Food Empire intending to select so nutritional supplents specifically designed for pregnant won, she suddenly heard the system’s flat electronic voice: "These nutritional supplents have average effects and could have toxic side effects. It’s best for the host not to use them."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yiyi’s heart tightened; this was the first ti she had heard such a thing! As far as she knew, although these nutritional supplents had average effects, there had never been any reports of toxic side effects. Otherwise, the governnt wouldn’t have relaxed its regulation, allowing them to be bought freely.
But just now, the system had told her that these nutritional supplents have toxic side effects!
Tang Yiyi felt a sense of panic; she had initially planned to use these ordinary nutritional supplents temporarily and, if needed in the future, figure out a way to get so high-grade nutritional supplents. What if the system hadn’t warned her and she had used these supplents—what would have happened?
The more she thought about it, the more panic-stricken she beca, barely managing to calm herself down: "Then what would be the consequences if these supplents were used?"
The system’s voice quickly sounded: "These nutritional supplents lack sufficient nutrients to support the normal developnt of the fetus, and their harmful components could damage the fetus’s genes. Without Genetic Repair Liquid, the child born will have a weaker physique and the superpower gene will not awaken."
Tang Yiyi instantly thought of many issues, like how even naturally conceived children among ordinary people rarely awaken superpowers. This is why, although the governnt is very favorable to pregnant won, superpower user pregnant won receive much better treatnt than ordinary pregnant won!
Even if the governnt reimburses part of the pregnancy expenses, the remaining amount is still a huge number for many ordinary people! To save on these expenses, so have no choice but to opt for ordinary nutritional supplents with very average effects. However, the outco of this is that the children born will have a weak constitution and cannot awaken their superpowers!
This is a vicious cycle!
Tang Yiyi was not foolish and quickly realized this. However, high-grade nutritional supplents are expensive, and the governnt simply cannot afford to cover the expenses of all pregnant won. Unless a win-win solution is found, this remains an unsolvable dilemma.
Tang Yiyi does not possess the grand sentint of saving the world, but she knows very well that as the number of awakened superpower users decreases, human survival will beco more and more challenging. As the saying goes, how can an egg remain intact when the nest is overturned; once Safe City is breached by mutant creatures, she will be unable to protect herself!
However, she has no ti to worry about others now; what she cares about is, if ordinary nutritional supplents can’t be used, what will happen to the child in her womb? Does she really need to go to those black clinics with no safety assurances?
Tang Yiyi always felt so resistance toward such places; unless it was absolutely necessary, she would never pin her hopes on a black clinic. After all, though ordinary nutritional supplents are subpar, their harm is nothing compared to that of fake drugs!
After hesitating for a mont, she decided to seek help from the system: "System, do you have a solution?"
The system quickly responded: "The system database includes nutritional dicinal food specifically for pregnant won, which the host can choose to exchange."
As soon as Tang Yiyi heard the words "nutritional dicinal food," her eyes instantly lit up. A hundred years ago, the sudden apocalypse caused the loss of much data, including many recipes. Later on, as human physical abilities were divided into different levels, dicines targeted at physical abilities erged, and so saw a business opportunity and began introducing "nutritional dicinal food."
Once "nutritional dicinal food" was introduced, it was highly praised, but its effectiveness was uneven, and in so cases, disappointing. So "nutritional dicinal food" indeed had so therapeutic effects, yet many others, despite having no effect, also had toxic side effects that hard the body. As incidents of this kind of "poisoning" continued to occur, the governnt began to pay more attention to "nutritional dicinal food."
Later, soone invented a multifunction detector capable of identifying harmful substances in food; only then did those fraudulent "nutritional dicinal foods" lose a foothold. Conversely, those that remained truly effective saw their status soar and beca even more esteed.
The Shao Family beca giants in the catering industry not only because they mastered thods of handling several types of mutated beast at but also because they mainly operated dicinal food before the apocalypse, inheriting many valuable dicinal food recipes!
Tang Yiyi grew up in the Liu Family, and she often heard Liu Pengyi and Liu Zhenlan ntion "nutritional dicinal food." These two were very ambitious, always wanting to expand the restaurant, but their foundation was too shallow. Although Liu’s Restaurant had so reputation, its scale was still small, and it couldn’t establish a big research group to study thods of neutralizing the toxins in mutated beast at, leaving them to tinker on a small scale. Without authoritative researchers and precise instrunts, unless one’s luck was extraordinary, there was simply no hope of achieving results.
Left without options, the two turned their attention to "nutritional dicinal food." Unfortunately, they started too late; if they had begun decades earlier, they might have managed to obtain so dicinal food recipes. But by now, the passed-down dicinal food recipes had either been purchased by powerful catering businesses or kept by the owners for their own operations, leaving others with no chance to catch any leaks, having no choice but to put in effort to do their research!
Although the two intended to keep Tang Yiyi away from the restaurant matters, living in the sa household, they would inadvertently ntion a thing or two, which Tang Yiyi noted down. After learning about "nutritional dicinal food," she had gone online to research, learning not only about its developnt but also about how highly it was praised!
So when the system ntioned "nutritional dicinal food," Tang Yiyi’s eyes brightened, as if she had seen a massive mountain of gold!
She almost imdiately opened the system panel, found the recipe page, and anxiously searched for the "nutritional dicinal food" ntioned by the system. The recipe page was densely packed with nurous recipes, but she scanned several pages without seeing the system-ntioned "nutritional dicinal food"!
Tang Yiyi was instantly frustrated and asked the system unhappily, "System, where is the nutritional dicinal food you ntioned? Why didn’t I see it?"
The next mont, she saw a pop-up window suddenly appear on the transparent system panel, with a prompt clearly written in red: "The recipe categorization feature can only be used after the system is upgraded, requiring 10,000 points. Do you want to choose to upgrade?"
Grinding her teeth, Tang Yiyi wondered if she had any other choice!
