Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 74 - 69: The Guilty Accuse First

With a reminder from the system, Tang Yiyi remembered the ant eggs she had snatched earlier. At the time, she had picked up the space button and directly placed it into the system backpack. Upon returning home and checking, she discovered that the space wasn’t large, only about 10 cubic meters. After loading 39 ant eggs, there was nearly no space left. Together with the one Tang Yiyi had previously collected, there was a total of 40 ant eggs.

An ant egg is about the size of two or three basketballs, yet its value is extremely high. If taken to auction, a single ant egg could fetch at least a hundred thousand Credit Points!

However, the rarity of the ant eggs is not just due to their sweet taste, but also because they contain gentle energy that both superpower users and ordinary people can safely absorb! If superpowers are depleted, consuming an ant egg can safely and quickly replenish them, with no strain on the body. Some experts even believe that if a superpower user consumes ant eggs continuously, there’s a great chance of their powers advancing!

Not only that, but there are hundreds of types of mutant ants. However, regardless of the type, their ant eggs contain no toxins and possess gentle energy, making them natural treasures.

Unfortunately, a single mutant ant is easy to deal with, but a horde of them is extremely difficult to handle. While the gentle energy in ant eggs is effective for low-level superpower users, it has minimal effect on high-level users. Currently, not only in Hua Country but worldwide, high-level superpower users are few and far between. These individuals are extremely mysterious, exuding an air of superiority, and would never delve into ant nests just for ant eggs.

Were it not for this, mutant ants might have gone extinct long ago.

However, the world of high-level superpower users is not something Tang Yiyi can access. Right now, she wasn’t concerned about why the mutant ants haven’t gone extinct, as she was busy checking the system interface for ant egg cooking recipes.

The ant eggs taste sweet with a unique fragrant aroma. They can be eaten raw, and a single ant egg can be divided into many portions. With 40 ant eggs, Tang Yiyi and Milk Tea could definitely enjoy them for a long time. If she kept eating them raw, she feared she might go crazy!

Ant eggs are considered second-level ingredients, and there are quite a few recipes for them. However, exchanging just one recipe costs 2000 Points. Tang Yiyi glanced at her remaining Points, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to exchange. After all, the 40 ant eggs wouldn’t be consumed quickly, so there was no rush to exchange recipes. She had been falsely accused and didn’t know when she might need to use the system, so she didn’t dare to waste Points recklessly.

Tang Yiyi was thinking about this when she suddenly felt a severe hunger. Recalling the system’s advice, she hurried to the kitchen, took the smallest ant egg, cleaned the gelatinous membrane on the surface, gently cut a small opening, scooped out the egg liquid with a spoon into a bowl, and ate it raw with a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

The ant egg had no fishy smell, and with a sprinkle of lemon juice, it tasted refreshing with a unique flavor. Tang Yiyi, now a First Level Superpower User, quickly drank all the egg liquid. She then felt a particularly gentle energy spreading from her stomach to her limbs. The energy from the ant egg was extremely mild, exceptionally easy to absorb, and the whole process made her feel almost euphoric!

Soon, this mysterious feeling disappeared, replaced by an even stronger sense of hunger! Before Tang Yiyi could ask about it, the system told her she needed to absorb more energy!

In the end, it wasn’t until she had absorbed a whole ant egg, as big as two basketballs, that this intense hunger disappeared. However, Tang Yiyi noticed that after fully absorbing the ant egg’s energy, her superpower seemed to have grown, with her body filled with energy, leaving her feeling exceptionally comfortable!

After drinking the egg liquid, all that was left was a soft gelatinous membrane. Tang Yiyi knew this membrane could also be made into a delicacy, but she decided to save it for Milk Tea. Milk Tea had helped her a lot earlier; without its call, she might have already been lost in that dark world, never waking up!

Milk Tea didn’t mind the soft membrane at all and ate it with extreme joy, its tail wagging incessantly. Seeing this, Tang Yiyi made a silent decision to share more ant eggs with it next time!

Upon leaving the kitchen, she began tidying up her chaotic living room. While she was straightening things up, she suddenly remembered that her personal terminal was still in the system backpack! After she lost control, the system had automatically placed her personal terminal from her wrist into the system backpack. Tang Yiyi had noticed it when she opened the system backpack to get the space button but had forgotten to take it out.

Remembering this, she quickly retrieved her personal terminal. No sooner had she taken it out than it started buzzing non-stop! Upon opening it, she found it flooded with hundreds of private messages and a dozen missed calls.

She glanced through them briefly: the private messages were from Tang Family customers and other users of the Food Empire, while the missed calls were from Zhou Yang and his three friends, likely concerned after seeing online news.

Tang Yiyi didn’t call back, just sent a text message to let them know she was alright. As for the private messages, she didn’t bother with them. The Tang Family’s status was currently frozen, and she couldn’t post any announcements. Replying to each message individually would be too time-consuming.

Right now, she couldn’t afford to waste time!

Tang Yiyi opened some links sent by people, discovering a news report about Sun Jian’s hit-and-run incident. The wording of this report was problematic, entirely smearing her and Sun Jian as heartless merchants and irresponsible deliverymen. To lend credibility to the report, it included a few pictures highlighting the injured party on the ground looking pitiful, and the middle-aged couple crying in despair, in stark contrast to the silent demeanor of Sun Jian and her own cold glare.

For those unaware of the truth, just the report and photos would make her and Sun Jian appear cruel and malicious, while the injured party and their family would seem innocent and pitiable.

In addition, the news reported that Tang Yiyi obstructed doctors treating the injured in the hospital, using a photo showing her glaring at the stretcher as evidence. Along with the photos, there was an interview video where the reporter visited the accident scene to interview several "witnesses." Predictably, these "witnesses" unanimously accused Sun Jian of violating traffic rules, describing the tragic accident, the victim’s and their family’s plight, and Tang Yiyi’s loathsome behavior!

Beyond the accident scene interview, the reporter went to the hospital to interview the victim’s family. On camera, the middle-aged couple who had been so arrogant in front of Tang Yiyi was now tearfully accusing Sun Jian and Tang Yiyi of their misdeeds, an act so heartfelt that it would make listeners weep in sympathy!

If they hadn’t been cursing her, she might have been compelled to join in condemning the accused!

Their acting skills were unparalleled! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian( qidian.com ) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please head to m.qidian.com to read.)
