Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 151 - 146: Coincidence

Once the conversation gradually opened up, Zhou Yang was no longer as apprehensive as he was at the beginning. He said, "Yiyi, I must tell you, this task is very dangerous. It’s about hunting two Second Level mutant beasts, the Red Fire Scorpions, and obtaining their poisonous stings. Our team consists of four First Level Superpower Users, so taking on such a task is somewhat difficult, which is why we wanted to find some help. If you... if you find it too difficult, just pretend I never mentioned it."

Tang Yiyi smiled. If her target this time wasn’t the Red Fire Scorpions, such a request would indeed make her feel quite difficult. However, since their goals coincidentally aligned, she couldn’t refuse.

As it happened, dealing with the Red Fire Scorpions alone was indeed slightly challenging for her, but with Zhou Yang and his friends, it would be much easier!

Zhou Yang didn’t know that she had been planning to catch a Red Fire Scorpion recently to upgrade, and he didn’t even know she was a Superpower User. He couldn’t understand why his friend asked him to seek help from Tang Yiyi, but as the agreed-upon date drew closer day by day, he had no choice but to come over.

The more he couldn’t discern Tang Yiyi’s attitude, the more uneasy he felt. Initially, he was even too embarrassed to make this request! Tang Yiyi concealed her intentions too well, and Zhou Yang couldn’t figure out what she was thinking, so he could only worry by himself.

Tang Yiyi didn’t let him wait too long before saying, "I can consider the task you’re talking about, but... you must tell me the specifics. Who have you guys gotten involved with? The other party wouldn’t set you up like this without any reason, right? Are there any other requirements? Do they have any backup plans?"

Zhou Yang exhaled a sigh of relief at first, and upon hearing Tang Yiyi’s questions, he immediately replied, "We’ve inquired about it. That hunting team is called Jingfeng, and it has 40 regular members; sometimes they bring in small teams. We’ve agreed that as long as we complete this task, they won’t bother us anymore. People in the field know about this, and they won’t go back on their word."

Tang Yiyi didn’t comment on this, she just continued to ask, "The Red Fire Scorpions have unpredictable whereabouts and are good at hiding. It won’t be easy to find two adult Red Fire Scorpions. Do you guys have any leads?"

Zhou Yang and his team were clearly already prepared, and he answered Tang Yiyi’s question confidently, "We’ve already acquired reliable information regarding the location of the Red Fire Scorpions’ nest. The situation inside the nest is unclear, and we won’t go in, but once we’re near, we can figure out a way to lure the Red Fire Scorpions out."

Tang Yiyi listened carefully, and finding their preparations indeed thorough, she nodded, "I’ll help you with this matter, but I have one condition: you can take the poisonous stings for the task, but the Red Fire Scorpions’ bodies must be left for me."

Zhou Yang was puzzled and instinctively wanted to ask what she wanted with the bodies but quickly shut his mouth without actually asking the question. Tang Yiyi’s willingness to help him was already an unexpected joy, and although the bodies of the Red Fire Scorpions are far more valuable than the Mutated Black Ants, they are still not worth as much as the poisonous stings.

Tang Yiyi only wanted the bodies, which was already quite generous.

Zhou Yang pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister Yiyi, you’re a Superpower User, right? What’s your current Superpower Level? Although I’d really like someone to help, I’m not confident about this task myself. You really don’t have to take this risk with us."

At this point, Tang Yiyi no longer intended to conceal her abilities, and she said, "I’m a First Level Fire Ability User. I know how dangerous it is. Since you’ve asked me for help, have a bit of faith in me; don’t be so wishy-washy. By the way, when are you planning to set out?"

Zhou Yang was greatly surprised this time. Although he had suspected Tang Yiyi might be a Superpower User, he hadn’t expected her to already be a First Level User. He couldn’t resist casting a suspicious glance at Tang Yiyi, utterly confused, as he couldn’t feel any Superpower waves from her, so how could she be a Superpower User?

However, he didn’t believe Tang Yiyi would joke about something like this; the Red Fire Scorpions’ poison was notoriously lethal, and unless Tang Yiyi was foolish, she wouldn’t mess around with this. They had made friendships with quite a few people, but as soon as it was known that they intended to hunt Red Fire Scorpions, everyone backed out, refusing to help.

These people were experienced hunters themselves, but when faced with the Red Fire Scorpions, they were uncertain and unwilling to help—perhaps unwilling was an understatement, it was more likely they were afraid. This shows how frightening the Red Fire Scorpions are.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang got very emotional, and he subconsciously overlooked the doubts concerning Tang Yiyi. He told her they would depart at seven o’clock the next morning, meet at the city gate, and then hurriedly bid farewell and left.

Tomorrow they would head out of the city to hunt the Red Fire Scorpions; before that, he had to inform his friends and prepare for the hunt tomorrow.

Tang Yiyi didn’t ask him to stay; once Zhou Yang left, she returned to her residence and found Pudding, who was playing with the child: "Pudding, help me check into the Jingfeng Hunting Team."

Although Zhou Yang said the other party would keep their promise, Tang Yiyi had her own judgment and would never place her hopes on the enemy’s mercy. So before heading out of the city, she had to gather information about the Jingfeng Hunting Team to be thoroughly prepared.

Tang Yuan had originally been lying in the crib, but upon seeing Tang Yiyi, he began fussing immediately, only calming down when she picked him up in her arms. He then contentedly snuggled in, finding a comfortable position against her, eyes wide open, staring at her as if he could never get enough.

Tang Yiyi found the child to be incredibly attached to her, yet couldn’t suppress her smile. Pudding was struggling to gather information on the side, and upon seeing how Tang Yuan was all smiles while in Tang Yiyi’s arms—which was the complete opposite of how he ignored Pudding’s attempts to amuse him earlier—it shed a tear of frustration, feeling that Tang Yuan was being unappreciative! Yet considering Tang Yiyi’s culinary skills, it quietly suppressed its dissatisfaction and continued to gather data on Jingfeng.

During this search, its attention shifted away from Tang Yuan. As it rummaged through the data, it asked, "Host, have you really decided to catch the Red Fire Scorpion this time?"

Tang Yiyi could tell by its swirling eyes that it was scheming, so she shot it a sideways glance: "What are you plotting?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Pudding was facing a virtual panel, constantly flashing various pieces of information. As it rapidly browsed, it began to chastise Tang Yiyi: "Host, you finally decided to go after the Red Fire Scorpions! I’ve been saying you should’ve gone ages ago. According to my calculations, you’re sure to level up after consuming a Second Level Red Fire Scorpion, and they’re incredibly delicious when properly prepared. You’ve delayed this for so long, truly a mistake!"

Tang Yiyi: "Hehe." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
