Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 96 - 91: System Mutation

Although Sun Jian looked very distressed, Tang Yiyi still moved out of his house. Sun Jian’s personality was too timid, making him too easy to control, and she had a lot to accomplish with more and stronger enemies destined to come her way. Someone like Sun Jian could no longer continue to be her partner. Living here would only result in both of them dragging each other down.

Sun Jian didn’t stop her; he simply seemed extraordinarily despondent when Tang Yiyi left. He apologized to Pang Zhi; although Pang Zhi didn’t like him, he couldn’t fuss about it due to Tang Yiyi, and had to accept the apology. After apologizing, Sun Jian didn’t say another word to Pang Zhi until Tang Yiyi left with Pang Zhi.

Tang Yiyi took Milk Tea and rode in Pang Zhi’s car, quickly arriving at their shop. This was the Second Ring; there was a school nearby, and the location was favorable but not as prominent as the First Ring and the Central District, which was just right for "Tang Family".

Pang Zhi told Tang Yiyi that this place was left to him by his deceased mother. Previously, it was rented out for business, but just recently, the lease expired, and the tenant seemed to have had business troubles and didn’t renew the lease, leaving the property vacant. Before he signed a contract with Tang Yiyi, many people had contacted him wanting to rent the place, but he hadn’t decided whom to rent to. Later, after deciding to cooperate with Tang Yiyi, he thought of opening "Tang Family" here!

Tang Yiyi was quite satisfied with the place. The building was in a square layout, with three floors and a courtyard in the middle. The usable area was spacious, and being at the street corner, it faced the street with significant foot traffic. Because the shop was named "Tang Family," she deliberately chose retro decor, giving it a very elegant and quaint feel.

The room Pang Zhi reserved for her was on the first floor, quite large, with an accompanying basement that was remodeled into a training room per Tang Yiyi’s request. Next to Tang Yiyi’s accommodation was a fairly large kitchen, serving as her workspace.

Pang Zhi was quite attentive to Tang Yiyi’s requirements, so he specially finished the decor for these three places. The rest of the decoration was still underway and incomplete. Fortunately, it was summer vacation, and school hadn’t started yet, leaving them ample time to prepare.

Tang Yiyi didn’t have much stuff, so she quickly organized after moving in. Although Pang Zhi noticed the special massage chair for pregnant women, he was too young to recognize it for what it was. Besides, it looked similar to other massage chairs, so Pang Zhi didn’t realize Tang Yiyi was pregnant!

Nevertheless, he was obviously very happy about Tang Yiyi’s move. Even after Tang Yiyi had tidied up the house, he remained in a bizarrely excited state. He glanced around the room several times, rubbed his fingers, and suggested: "Sister Yiyi, don’t you think you have too few things here? Should I help you prepare something?"

Tang Yiyi thought the items in the room were enough, and she didn’t find anything lacking. Just as she was about to decline Pang Zhi’s offer, the system, which hadn’t spoken up for a long time, suddenly chimed in: "Host, agree to it!"

Tang Yiyi was startled at first and then couldn’t help but ask in her mind: "System, what do you mean?"

The system instantly said: "Host, quickly agree to him! Then ask him to buy some vegetable seeds!"

This time, Tang Yiyi was completely dumbfounded: "Why buy vegetable seeds? Do you want me to grow vegetables?" She couldn’t help but squint her eyes, suspecting the system might have been hacked, otherwise why would it say such crazy things!

Currently, almost all vegetables, fruits, and grains consumed by humans are cultivated in special planting bases. These bases have professional planting rooms where temperature, humidity, lighting, and nutrients are strictly managed to cultivate quality vegetables, fruits, and grains. If control is not properly managed, the quality of these foods will deteriorate.

Due to these stringent growing conditions and high cultivation costs, food prices remain high. Grains are still somewhat affordable, but vegetable prices are high, especially fruits, which are incredibly expensive! The average person simply can’t afford them!

Moreover, they require different growing environments, making planting impossible outside professional rooms. Even if seeds are purchased, they either won’t sprout or won’t grow well.

Tang Yiyi was aware of these issues, so upon hearing the system’s request, she could think of nothing else, merely feeling the system must be insane to ask such a thing!

Another thing she found strange was that the system seemed increasingly human-like! She didn’t know if this change was good or bad, but it made her uneasy.

However, the system apparently didn’t notice what was going through her mind and continued: "Of course, you should grow your own vegetables! Don’t you think the ones you bought before tasted terrible?"

Tang Yiyi responded with silence, thinking humorously that she really didn’t feel that way! Furthermore, this system must be infected with a virus, right? What kind of tone was that just now?

"What kind of attitude is that? Why aren’t you talking?" The system sounded quite angry, "After helping you so many times, do you dare question my capabilities? What kind of rubbish were those ingredients you bought before? Their taste is so bland; they’re practically garbage!"

Hearing this, Tang Yiyi suddenly thought of something. She heard that the richer the energy in food, the more flavorful it is, and it tastes better. However, such food is very expensive, only affordable for family elites, affluent households, and dignitaries. She had never tasted it.

If the system had tasted such food, it would explain the disdain for ordinary food.

But she didn’t have a professional planting room here, so what’s the use of buying seeds? Could the system possibly help her grow vegetables?

Tang Yiyi suspiciously asked the system: "System, can you grow vegetables?"

Little did she expect the system to explode in response: "Nonsense! How could I ever do that! I asked you to buy seeds because I can synthesize biological fertilizer from food waste. With this fertilizer, the produce will definitely be delicious!"

Tang Yiyi was somewhat skeptical. She knew the system had synthesis capabilities but hadn’t used them. Was the fertilizer the system mentioned really that powerful?

Still skeptical, she said to Pang Zhi: "Xiao Zhi, could you help me buy some vegetable seeds and nutrient soil? I’d like to grow something."

"Huh?" Pang Zhi was dumbfounded. Who grows their own vegetables these days? (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation votes, monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
