Tang Yiyi closed the door and collapsed powerlessly onto the massage chair, carefully recalling everything that had just happened. Back when she was in school, she had heard the teacher say that the world outside the Safe City was full of dangers. However, for certain reasons, the teacher didn’t go into much detail, and since she had always lived in the Safe City, she only had a vague impression and didn’t feel it strongly.
Last ti, although soone tried to harm her by deliberately throwing her into the Garbage Mountain, it was clear that those people were bribed by Liu Pengyi and Liu Zhenlan, so it was normal for them to do so, and Tang Yiyi was not surprised.
But this ti was different. She was just going to harvest so Sour Leaf Grass and had no conflicts of interest with those people, yet they could attack her without hesitation!
If not for the system’s support, she probably would have been gnawed into bones by the Mutated Black Ant army by now.
It was simply a disaster out of nowhere!
What shocked her even more was the subsequent betrayal among themselves. Those four people were clearly a group, and all were Superpower Users, yet when faced with the Mutated Black Ant army, they didn’t hesitate to turn on each other to save their own lives! Tang Yiyi didn’t regret letting the system absorb the energy of the Four-Wheeled War Chariot, but she was stunned by the four people’s ruthless turning of faces and their unscrupulous ans!
If even comrades who share life and death would betray, who in this world can be trusted? Tang Yiyi dangerously narrowed her eyes, thinking of Sun Jian, and then of Zhao Feng, Li Zheng, and Wu Tian. After that night, she had subtly inquired about the character of the three from Zhou Yang, and as Zhou Yang praised them highly, saying they were reliable, she felt at ease.
But now it seems that she might have let her guard down too early! Everyone knows the value of a Mutated Young Beast; if the three suddenly harbored ill intentions, she might not even know how she died! Even if the three have no bad intentions, what about others? Before she and Milk Tea grow up, Milk Tea’s identity must not be discovered! She must find a way to cover Milk Tea’s magic patterns and energy fluctuations!
It’s not hard to cover the magic patterns; a bit of dyeing agent will do, but covering its energy fluctuations is tricky. She hasn’t heard of such a tool on the market, and the only thing she can count on is the system.
Tang Yiyi frowned and asked the system, "System, do you have any tools to cover the energy fluctuations on Milk Tea?" Without using Superpower, a Mutant Beast’s energy fluctuations are not strong, but if a Superpower User is attentive, they will still detect it.
Tang Yiyi had already made a mistake once and didn’t want to continue making mistakes! She would keep that scene she saw today forever in her mind, constantly reminding herself!
The system was quite reliable this ti and said straightforwardly, "The host can exchange points for an Energy Restriction Bracelet, which can prevent energy from escaping and has a free expansion feature."
Once Tang Yiyi heard this, she understood. Although this thing is a bracelet, since it can freely expand, it ans it can be worn elsewhere, such as on Milk Tea’s plump neck.
Tang Yiyi imdiately opened the system store, searched for the Energy Restriction Bracelet under items, and soon found it. It looked ordinary, appearing at first glance to be a plain latex bracelet. But when she checked the points needed for exchange, Tang Yiyi almost spat blood!
This unremarkable little Energy Restriction Bracelet actually required ten thousand points to exchange!
When Tang Yiyi looked at her points again, she had previously spent ten thousand points to upgrade the system, and later spent twelve hundred points to exchange for the nutritional dicinal food recipes; now she only had 4,693 points, 5,307 short of ten thousand!
5,307 points were not a small number, and it would take so ti to gather them. Tang Yiyi was hesitating when the system’s voice sounded again: "The host is suggested to cook the Mutated Black Ant at, which belongs to First Level Ingredients and can be cooked into First Level dishes to exchange for points."
With the system’s reminder, Tang Yiyi rembered the Sour Leaf Grass she had just harvested. She glanced at Milk Tea, who was sleeping in its nest, took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and headed straight to the kitchen.
Indeed, as the system said, the Mutated Black Ant at in the fridge needed to be dealt with!
After entering the kitchen, Tang Yiyi locked the door, took out the Sour Leaf Grass from the System Backpack, cleaned it, and juiced it using a blender. The waste was directly recycled by the system. She followed the recipe given by the system, mixed the Sour Leaf Grass juice with other ingredients to make a Detoxification Liquid, then took out the already processed Mutated Black Ant at, weighed it, and put it into the Detoxification Liquid. After that, it was just a matter of waiting.
The Mutated Black Ant at looked crystal clear, but because it contained toxins, its color was slightly dark and emitted a fishy sll, making it unappetizing.
While waiting, Tang Yiyi opened her personal terminal and saw more than forty new orders added to the store. She habitually opened the orders one by one. As she was looking, she suddenly heard a ssage notification sound. Tang Yiyi frowned, staring at the constantly flashing ssage notification icon in the bottom right corner, feeling that sothing was amiss.
It was a private ssage, but she had turned off private ssage notifications earlier, so how did this ssage suddenly pop up?
With so dissatisfaction, Tang Yiyi opened the ssage, and after reading its contents, her frown deepened, and her expression grew unpleasant.
It was an invitation to collaborate sent in a private ssage! But the tone was full of arrogance; rather than an invitation for cooperation, it seed to be coveting the recipe in her hands, which Tang Yiyi found quite displeasing!
Tang Yiyi clicked on the user’s na, entered his personal profile, and then saw his identity in the profile column: he was the assistant manager of a restaurant in Qinghe Dining City. That restaurant was not large, but compared to Tang Yiyi’s small shop, it was much larger and quite luxuriously furnished, with its dish prices nearly ten tis more expensive than hers!
Apparently, such prices were unaffordable for the average person; the guests there probably belonged at least to the middle class. However, after checking the reviews of that store, Tang Yiyi found that many custors complained that the taste was average, incomparable to restaurants of the sa caliber.
After seeing this, Tang Yiyi realized why this person was approaching her. Although her shop was small and sold at low prices, it had a remarkably good reputation; whoever had tasted it never said it wasn’t good. However, her shop was so small, it seed an easy target for bullying—who else would he target if not her?
Tang Yiyi clenched her fists, thinking about the disparity between them, and had to suppress her anger, replying with relatively gentle words of refusal. The other party didn’t respond, and she didn’t care, letting the matter go and continuing to check the remaining orders.
However, just as she finished looking over the orders, she suddenly received another private ssage from the other party. Upon opening it, she saw only five words—
You will regret this.
