Tang Yiyi tightly gripped the chef's knife, cautiously following behind the mutant Husky puppy. As she walked, she tentatively asked the system in her mind, "System, what's going on with you?" Earlier, the situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to understand this odd system. Now that it was temporarily safe, Tang Yiyi couldn't hold back her curiosity.
No matter how strange this system was, from the current situation, it had helped her quite a lot. Otherwise, even if she hadn't been killed by that mysterious potion, she would've been eaten by the Mutant Rat when she was unconscious! She didn't have time for sentimentality, but since this system was hers, it would be a shame not to exploit its full utility!
The system's voice quickly sounded, still a cold mechanical tone: "Super Foodie System, the ultimate weapon for foodies, you deserve it!" Tang Yiyi's face darkened when she heard this voice. What was this broken system up to again? She kept a stern face and continued to ask, "What I want to know is, what exactly can you do?" Since it wasn't safe here, Tang Yiyi didn't open the system panel to check, but asked directly in her mind.
Perhaps it had been affected by the previous blow, as it wasn't until much later that the system's voice sounded again: "The system has many functions, please explore them yourself." Tang Yiyi suddenly felt a strange sensation. Was the system angry? She was startled by her own thought. Whether the system was angry or not was of no concern to her, so she continued to ask, "What about the Fire Ability you mentioned earlier?"
She still remembered the twisted, smug face of Liu Shuya when her superpower failed to awaken on her coming-of-age day. The superpower failure to awaken had always been her pain and regret. But why did the system say she had a Basic Fire Ability? She didn't remember awakening any superpower. Was it a system scan error, or was the initial detection wrong? Or... was there something wrong with that potion? But how could that be!
The success rate of superpower awakening is very low. Although there are many superpower-inducing agents on the market, they are expensive and have a low success rate, and even come with certain risks! If the potion could truly induce superpower awakening, why would those people be willing to use it on her?
Tang Yiyi was unwilling to believe this possibility, but after thinking it over, she still believed the problem likely lay with the mysterious potion. Indeed, at that moment, the system's voice rang out: "The host's body was once injected with a high concentration of Zombie Virus, causing the body to mutate and awaken the Fire Ability."
Her suspicions were confirmed, and Tang Yiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha — Liu Pengyi, Liu Zhenlan, didn't you want to kill me? You never expected this, right? Thanks to you, I've now awakened the Fire Ability and become a Superpower User." As she said this, her tone shifted, "What a pity, such good news, I can't tell you now. But rest assured, one day, I'll personally tell you this great news!"
The more she spoke, the darker her expression grew, yet her lips curled into a high, twisted smile. As she finished speaking, her expression changed suddenly, tightly shutting her mouth and continuing to question the system in her mind: "Are you sure your scan wasn't wrong? My Talent Level is S?"
When she uttered this sentence, even Tang Yiyi found it hard to believe herself. She, deemed a failure unable to awaken a superpower, not only successfully awakened the Fire Ability but also had an S Level Talent! Currently, the population of Hua Country was less than 80 million, and no more than 5,000 people could successfully awaken a superpower each year. Among these, most had Talent Levels ranging from F to C Level, with B Level being considered excellent, A Level very rare, and S Level talent considered terrifying. Such a person might not even emerge once a year!
And yet, this failure was an S Level Talent! This truly was exhilarating news! Tang Yiyi even dared to believe that with her S Level Talent and her status as a pregnant woman, the "murder crime" she'd "committed" could be entirely pardoned! Of course, the premise being she was willing to join a family and obediently serve as the perfect breeding machine to birth a perfect heir for the family!
With a cold laugh, Tang Yiyi tossed this idea aside. She would never willingly be a breeding machine, nor would she choose such a path for herself. Moreover, she hadn't killed anyone and didn't need anyone's pardon! One day, she would return with dignity, and clear away the charges those people had unfairly put on her!
She clenched her fists, trying to sense the power in her body, finding that her physique had indeed been enhanced, and that there was also a ball of scorching energy traveling through her meridians, confirming that she really had awakened the Fire Ability. Unfortunately, the cultivation method and skills for superpowers could only be learned at Superpower Universities, and with her current identity, it was impossible to enter any Superpower University.
What should she do?
Tang Yiyi took a deep breath, finding herself in a bit of a predicament. Just then, the mutant Husky came to a stop, and Tang Yiyi had to steady her mind, looking around warily. This seemed to be a remote corner of Garbage Mountain, and also the home of this mutant Husky puppy.
A small hole had been dug into a piece of hard rock, just big enough for the Husky puppy to squeeze into. Once it arrived, it burrowed in, its bottom facing inward, head facing out — the stone served as a natural shield, needing to guard only in one direction. This method was indeed smart; no wonder it could survive the perilous Garbage Mountain for so long. Additionally, Tang Yiyi had taken special note earlier, not seeing any other Mutant Beasts along the way, indicating that the path it had chosen conveniently bypassed the activity routes of other Mutant Beasts!
Whether it was sheer luck or some special talent, either possibility spoke to the value of this mutant Husky puppy! Tang Yiyi immediately made up her mind; she absolutely had to find a way to contract this mutant Husky puppy! After some thought, she asked the system, "System, do you have a way to help me contract this mutant Husky puppy?"
After a long time, the system responded to Tang Yiyi: "The coercion mode consumes system energy, not recommended for use." Tang Yiyi raised an eyebrow, coercion mode? So this broken system could actually help her? She immediately asked, "What happens when system energy is depleted? How high is the success rate of contracting when the coercion mode is activated?"
After another long while, the system reluctantly replied: "Depletion of system energy will lead to automatic shutdown. Upon activation of coercion mode, the host can achieve a 100% success rate in contracting. To avoid automatic shutdown, please replenish energy promptly."
