Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 23 - 19: Borrowed Identity
Tang Yiyi was startled by the suddenly bright screen; she had just tried it casually, without expecting success, but unexpectedly it opened! Not only was she surprised, but Sun Jian, who had been secretly watching her, was even more frightened! He had just noticed that Tang Yiyi seemed to be wearing something on her hand, but upon a second glance, there was clearly nothing there! He thought he was seeing things, but to his surprise, Tang Yiyi actually opened Wang Jian’s personal terminal!
Only then did he realize that he hadn’t been mistaken; Tang Yiyi definitely had something on her hand, but it was invisible to him! This discovery made him even more curious about Tang Yiyi’s identity. This kind of "high-tech" item isn’t something just anyone can possess! But Tang Yiyi looked quite young, could she be a member of some mysterious organization?
His curiosity was immense, but considering Tang Yiyi’s methods, he dared not delve deeper. Although his nature was weak, he still didn’t want to die! So, instinctively, he drew back his gaze, staring straight ahead, not daring to look at Tang Yiyi, afraid of seeing something he shouldn’t and being killed by Tang Yiyi to silence him.
Tang Yiyi, at this moment, was not concerned about him, nor about silencing him; she watched as Wang Jian’s personal terminal suddenly came to life, and asked in her mind, "System, did you open the personal terminal?"
The system responded quickly: "Yes, the system has successfully invaded the personal terminal, the multi-functional gloves have successfully replicated Wang Jian’s fingerprint."
Upon hearing these words, Tang Yiyi immediately had an idea! She first glanced at her thumb, and upon close inspection, indeed found the fingerprint had changed, feeling pleased and more determined in her previous thoughts! Initially, she had no opinion about this bizarre system that suddenly appeared, but so far, this system had helped her quite a bit.
Regardless, the weapon provided by the system, although just a chef’s knife made of alloy, is exceptionally sharp, even easily slicing through the thick fur of the Mutant Rat. Without it, she might have already been eaten by the Mutant Rat! Plus the pair of multi-functional gloves on her hands, although they look unimpressive, akin to disposable kitchen gloves, their functionality is evidently much more potent!
She had never heard that disposable kitchen gloves could replicate fingerprints! Though the appearance of this system was inexplicable, and the items it provided seemed unreliable, only through use could one realize systems’ products are surely top-notch! No matter why the system chose her, now it’s bound to her, it’s her possession, and nobody else should think of taking it!
Thinking of this, Tang Yiyi’s gaze turned cold, and she looked warily at Sun Jian beside her, with a hint of murderous intent sprouting in her heart, which she quickly suppressed. She needs someone to cover for her to enter Safe City, and the timid Sun Jian is the best candidate; with anyone else, she wouldn’t be sure if she could handle them!
Forget it, better to keep him for now, after all, he hasn’t wronged her, and she can’t just casually take a life. Sun Jian drove the car steadily, eyes forward, completely unaware that he had just taken a spin at the door of Yama Hall.
Tang Yiyi gave up on the idea of killing Sun Jian and instead asked the system, "System, since you can invade the personal terminal, can you also invade the optical network? Can you search for missing people and find someone similar to me, then replace the personal terminal’s bound identity information with theirs?" She was a bit nervous; if this worked, it would save her a lot of trouble!
The system was very effective; as soon as Tang Yiyi gave the order, it obediently invaded the optical network and began searching the missing persons database for a suitable identity. Though the population is sparse now, each year there are still people who go missing for various reasons. After three minutes, the system found ten missing girls similar in age to Tang Yiyi and sent the information to her for her to choose.
After reviewing each piece of information, Tang Yiyi chose an orphan who had been missing for half a year. An orphan’s identity means no relatives, so even if borrowed, there’s no worry about being discovered. Moreover, missing for half a year means either becoming one of the poor souls who no longer need a personal terminal, or likely met tragedy.
Sighing silently, Tang Yiyi asked the system to help replace the identity information bound to the personal terminal. Then, she stared blankly at the photo of the missing girl. The missing girl had fair and delicate looks, appearing pure and obedient, quite different from herself. To borrow this person’s identity, she’d need to ask the system for further assistance.
Unreservedly, she inquired of the system, "System, is there a way to change my appearance?" She didn’t want to directly undergo surgery to look like the girl, and anyway, being in the countryside, there’s no such option. Her only hope rested on the system.
System: "Item multi-functional protective mask has been placed in the backpack, please check."
Having experienced the chef’s knife and kitchen gloves, Tang Yiyi was now very composed, directly asking the system, "What functions does this protective mask have? Can wearing it change appearance?" She doubted the system would provide a useless item at this critical time!
System: "Host may view item functions independently."
Tang Yiyi didn’t expect such a response from the system but still dutifully accessed the system panel, discreetly checking the protective mask in her backpack while Sun Jian wasn’t paying attention. The mask looked like a mask, but its material seemed quite soft; Tang Yiyi discovered after checking its functions that its primary role was to protect facial skin when worn, with additional beauty and disguise effects. Before wearing, select the desired appearance, and wearing it will render that appearance, undetectable to the naked eye!
Tang Yiyi’s mouth twitched lightly; instead of taking out the mask right before Sun Jian, she found a secluded spot, sent Sun Jian out of the car, then set the desired appearance and placed the mask on her face. The material of the mask was soft and thin, similar to the gloves earlier, but different in that it provided a hydrating feel like a face mask when placed on the face, not only was it not uncomfortable, but actually quite pleasant.
After the mask was in place, it automatically chose to conceal. Tang Yiyi touched her face, feeling the smooth texture of real skin, unable to detect any layer on her face. Checking in the personal terminal, her appearance had become quite similar to the missing girl, albeit with more refined features and a livelier gaze compared to the girl.
Once sure everything was fine, she beckoned Sun Jian back into the car. In his shocked, ghost-seeing gaze, she calmly instructed, "Directly to Qinghe City."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian couldn’t remain surprised; gazing at the utterly transformed Tang Yiyi, an ominous premonition suddenly struck his heart!
