Chapter 11 - Chapter 7: Scam Weapon

Tang Yiyi's consciousness was already blurry, and she barely understood the meaning expressed by the cold mechanical voice. Driven by a strong will to survive, she instantly realized that this might be the last opportunity placed before her! Seizing it might let her survive by chance, but if she couldn't, this filthy Garbage Mountain would become her final resting place, and revenge would become a luxury!

However, after she used her remaining strength to say "yes," Tang Yiyi felt a numbing electrifying pain all over her body, and instead of feeling any better, she felt worse! It was as if every cell in her body was screaming in discomfort. At this moment, she had no strength left and, cursing silently in her heart, she fell into a deep sleep amid intense pain. In a daze, she seemed to hear the mechanical voice say, "Super Foodie System bound successfully, host Tang Yiyi, body..."

Tang Yiyi didn't hear the rest of the words, as she had already completely lost consciousness. After she lost consciousness, a transparent light shield appeared out of nowhere, enveloping her. Inside the shield, Tang Yiyi's body was constantly twitching, the exposed skin turning alternately blue and white; the muscles beneath her skin contracting and relaxing intermittently.

Before long, a Mutant Rat with blood-red eyes crawled out of the Garbage Mountain. It was as large as a regular hunting dog, with short limbs but moved very quickly. Dragging its long tail behind it, it swiftly approached the unconscious Tang Yiyi, its scarlet eyes greedily gazing at her within the light shield.

Step by step, it drew closer, and before long, it had reached the shield. Just one more step and it could touch the thin, foam-like shield. Yet, it hesitated for a long time and didn't take that final step. It watched the shield warily, unable to understand why this thin object gave it an intense sense of danger!

It stared at the light shield for a long time, unable to figure out the problem, yet it still dared not approach. However, it couldn't disregard the feast in front of it, so it stayed by the shield, waiting for it to vanish. After a while, another Mutant Rat crawled out of the Garbage Mountain, quickly approaching the area. Then came a third, a fourth...

Time unknowingly passed by. Some of the Mutant Rats grew impatient and returned to the Garbage Mountain, but some refused to give up and remained by the shield, just waiting for it to disappear so they could devour their delicious meal. Therefore, when Tang Yiyi finally awoke from her stupor, she found herself surrounded by three Mutant Rats as soon as she opened her eyes!

Stared at by six blood-red eyes shimmering with greed, Tang Yiyi leaped up from the ground in fright! Her jump caused the light shield surrounding her to tremble instantly, appearing as if it might shatter at any moment and vanish, terrifying Tang Yiyi to the point where her face turned pale! Even without thinking, she knew that if this thing disappeared, the three Mutant Rats would surely swallow her whole!

She stared intently at the trembling shield, her heart in her mouth, even making her breathing lighter, fearing that even a breath would cause the shield to vanish. Luckily, after shaking a few times, the shield stabilized once more and didn't disappear. Tang Yiyi breathed a small sigh of relief, noticing with dark amusement that the three Mutant Rats seemed a bit disgruntled at the shield not disappearing.

These three Mutant Rats reminded her of the trio of desperados who left her on the Garbage Mountain, and the conniving Liu Pengyi and Liu Zhenlan who plotted to kill her! Luckily, heaven never seals off all exits; now that she had the fortune to survive, she wouldn't let those who harmed her off easily!

"Liu Pengyi! Liu Zhenlan! Enjoy your final moments of happiness; I won't keep you waiting long!" All the pent-up anger in her heart seemed to dissipate completely with those words, and Tang Yiyi smiled strangely before suddenly frowning deeply! How could she forget? She still didn't know how long this strange shield could hold up! Celebrating too soon would be premature. Once the shield vanished, she had no confidence in dealing with three Mutant Rats at once!

At this moment, the cold mechanical voice she heard during her last conscious moment sounded once more: "Super Foodie System activating, host Tang Yiyi, commencing full-body scan... Scan complete—

Host: Tang Yiyi

Race: Human

Physical Ability: D

Spiritual Power: B

Superpower: Fire Element

Superpower Level: Basic

Talent Level: S

Status: 1 month and 3 days pregnant

Prompt: There are three basic-level Mutant Rats in the enemy's camp, the protective shield is about to deactivate, please select a weapon and prepare for battle."

Weapon? What weapon? No, she clearly failed the superpower awakening, how could she have a Fire Ability? What exactly is this system scan? Is it true or false? While Tang Yiyi was lost in confusion, a transparent system panel suddenly appeared before her, displaying the weapon section in particular. Tang Yiyi hadn't even had the time to get excited before she saw with disappointment that the only option was a pitiful-looking knife! The entire blade was forged from an unknown alloy, with a blade length of 20cm and a handle length of 10cm, glinting sharply in silver.

However, no matter how she looked at it, it was just an ordinary alloy knife, shaped to resemble a chef's knife used for chopping vegetables!

Tang Yiyi had serious doubts about whether such a thing could really kill three basic-level Mutant Rats? Could it be that this so-called Super Foodie System was here to trick her? Yet, she had no alternative but that knife to choose from. At her escape, the only weapon she had was an alloy dagger, and she had left it in the desperados' car! If she didn't choose the knife, she wouldn't have a usable weapon!

But how to choose? Recalling the games she used to play, Tang Yiyi decided to try clicking on the chef's knife on the panel with her finger. Then, she heard the cold mechanical voice: "Selected weapon: Chef's Knife, bind it to your person?" Tang Yiyi instinctively replied "yes," and immediately felt a cool sensation in her right hand - the silver chef's knife was already in her grip.

Gripping the knife firmly without thinking, she then heard the words "protective shield deactivated." Although it was still a cold mechanical sound, Tang Yiyi didn't know if it was just her illusion, but she seemed to hear a hint of urgency and relief within it. Keeping the meaning aside in her heart, Tang Yiyi instinctively assumed a defensive posture. As expected, the thin light shield disappeared the next moment.

Once the shield disappeared, the three basic-level Mutant Rats eagerly pounced on Fang Yuxin! They sealed off three directions, and unless she could jump higher, there was no way to avoid them! Even though the three basic-level Mutant Rats had short limbs, their claws were hook-like, and just one swipe would be enough to bring her down!

Tang Yiyi's mind worked frantically and she had made a decision in a flash!
