Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 149 - 144: Transformation

Tang Yiyi saw Pang Zhi becoming more and more despondent, and couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Zhi, you shouldn’t be like this. It’s her loss if she doesn’t like you. You shouldn’t belittle yourself because of someone else’s mistake. In my eyes, you’re no worse than anyone else. I believe your brother thinks the same way."

Pang Zhi stared at her blankly for a long while before suddenly bursting into a smile and confidently said, "Of course, I’m great. I have the best brother in the world, and now I have the best sister in the world too. Who in this world can compare with me? They’ll eventually envy me to death!"

Although Tang Yiyi wished for Pang Zhi to move on from that despairing relationship, she felt his change in attitude was too rapid, making her not feel relieved at all but more anxious.

Pang Zhi, being stared at by her, gradually couldn’t keep up that confident smile. He quickly became dejected again, like a balloon suddenly deflated, his whole demeanor became listless.

Tang Yiyi continued gazing at Pang Zhi without saying a word. Instead, it was Pang Zhi, under her gaze, who started feeling uneasy. He shifted his eyes and suddenly said, "Sister Yiyi, she called me a pig. Is it because I’m too fat? Actually, I don’t want to be like this either."

His tone was dejected, but Tang Yiyi felt that he must already have an idea in his mind. In her opinion, Pang Zhi wasn’t the type to be completely downed by a setback.

Sure enough, after a moment of gloom, Pang Zhi cautiously looked at her and said without much confidence, "Sister Yiyi, I... I want to lose weight!"

As he spoke, a glimmer appeared in his eyes, and he continued to babble on, "You’ve seen my brother, right? He’s so handsome. I’m his blood brother; I can’t be that ugly, right? Don’t... you don’t believe me! My mom is a beauty! Even my dad... even if he’s an irresponsible jerk, he was quite handsome when he was young! So... so my genes are actually good, it’s just... I’m just a little overweight!"

Tang Yiyi laughed aloud when she saw him anxious, and at this, Pang Zhi became embarrassed and angry. But unfortunately, his whole body was restrained and the places he could move were too limited. Despite his embarrassment and anger, he could only helplessly glare at Tang Yiyi.

Tang Yiyi deliberately stroked her chin and sized him up, then nodded seriously, "Hmm, the facial features are indeed good, you’ll definitely be a handsome guy after losing weight!" At her words, Pang Zhi beamed with joy. She didn’t want to dampen his spirits but still said, "However, the most crucial thing now is not for you to lose weight, but to heal your injuries. You should stop overthinking and focus on your recovery. Your brother is coming next month for your birthday; you wouldn’t want to still be bedridden then, right?"

At the mention of Pang Xiao, Pang Zhi immediately became energetic and loudly assured Tang Yiyi, "Sister Yiyi, I won’t let you and my brother down! Oh, and Xiao Tang Yuan too! I’ll recover properly and definitely not disappoint Xiao Tang Yuan!"

Talking about himself, Pang Zhi’s eyes began to dart around, and he said, "Sister Yiyi, where’s Xiao Tang Yuan? I haven’t seen him for a few days and miss him a lot, let me see him?"

Tang Yiyi wasn’t about to let him off the hook so easily and deliberately said, "No way, you haven’t settled the matter of sneaking out of town with me yet! If you want to see Xiao Tang Yuan, wait till you can get out of bed. Until then, you better stay in bed honestly, or I’ll deal with you if you dare move!"

As she finished speaking, she even purposely cracked her knuckles, scaring Pang Zhi until his face turned pale.

Since saying she wouldn’t let Pang Zhi see Tang Yuan, Tang Yiyi really stuck to her word. As a result, Pang Zhi would put on a pitiful act whenever he saw her, telling her how much he missed Tang Yuan, but Tang Yiyi wouldn’t soften.

Apart from the daily act of pity, Tang Yiyi noticed that something was changing with Pang Zhi. It seemed that after that incident, he suddenly matured.

In addition to his routine treatments, Pang Zhi started going online to self-learn and even made a schedule to plan his studies meticulously, no longer indulging only in food.

Tang Yiyi knew that He Lin’s matter indeed hit him hard, but Pang Zhi’s change wasn’t necessarily bad, so apart from strictly limiting his study time each day to avoid overtiring him, she didn’t say anything else.

While Pang Zhi immersed himself in his studies and recovery, Tang Yiyi certainly couldn’t stay idle. She was the Tang Family’s top chef, busy in the kitchen daily, and had to look after Tang Yuan. In addition, she had to prepare medicinal meals for Zhang Xue and Pang Zhi based on the prescriptions provided by Pudding.

During her pregnancy, Zhang Xue’s body was severely damaged. Although eating mutated beast meat helped her recover significantly, it would be too taxing for her to treat Pang Zhi’s injuries daily. Even if Zhang Xue didn’t mind, Tang Yiyi couldn’t let her deplete her superpower.

This time, she specifically asked Pudding to help devise a medicinal dietary plan for Zhang Xue to nourish her body and support her daily treatment.

The expense naturally fell on Pang Zhi and Pang Xiao. Fortunately, the anonymous point card Pang Xiao previously gave her had enough credit points to buy the necessary herbs and ingredients.

Zhang Xue’s wood element ability is only basic, and Pang Zhi hadn’t awakened his superpower yet; the medicinal meals they used were only First Level, using mutated beasts or mutated plants of low level or first level, which weren’t expensive since Tang Yiyi had most of the materials in her collection. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After the last beast wave ended, she went to the black market and bought a heap of mutated beast and plant corpses at quite a bargain, processing them by category later. The edible parts were meticulously picked out and stored in the system backpack, while the rest were absorbed by the system, which synthesized a batch of new biofertilizers and left some special materials for crafting simple weapons and armor.

After confirming the prescriptions with Pudding, she checked her stock and then headed to the black market to replenish some items. With few credit points spent, she managed to buy the remaining mutated organisms. As for the herbs needed, she had long ordered multiple batches stored, with no worry of shortage at all.

The remaining credit points after these purchases were unreservedly used by Tang Yiyi to improve everyone’s diet. Compared to those low-level mutated organisms, the specially cultivated grains, vegetables, and various meats were not cheap at all! (To be continued.
