Chapter 267 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part Twelve) Liu Yi...

Liu Yiyi's pot wasn't big; even with small bowls, it could only hold a maximum of five bowls. The reason her mutated plants could enhance her abilities was mainly because she added spiritual spring water to them.

This is the crafting method provided by the cheat code, with a special note that this method uses locally available materials based on the host's situation.

According to the original plot, Liu Yiyi's spiritual spring water was drunk by Long Yutian for a long time, which improved her supernatural abilities. Now, only two drops were added to a pot, and it can improve her abilities so much. It turns out that the spiritual spring water is just a catalyst.

No wonder the Heavenly Dao here is almost driven to the brink of collapse. Anyone with such a spendthrift brat would be driven to a heart attack by anger.

Lin You always felt that the fact that she was able to draw this cheat code was due to some behind-the-scenes manipulation by the Heavenly Dao of this world, but there was no need to say such things out loud.

The official's former leader also thought Liu Yiyi was like a spendthrift brat. "If you have the ability to improve your superpowers, you should have said so earlier. You've been keeping quiet while running this little shop. People who don't know better would think you're just playing house here!"

Liu Yiyi's porridge, which she had been cooking for several days, was sold out in no time. Seeing that others were still planning to continue queuing, she had no choice but to change the sign on the blackboard to "limited purchase".

The little peach tree is too small to keep picking its leaves, and although the wisteria has many flowers, she's not familiar with it and can't go over every day to pick its flowers.

After Liu Yiyi's purchase limit was announced, more and more people lined up. In addition to wind and wood type ability users, other ability users also came to join in the fun. Although they couldn't improve their abilities, they could still get a taste, right?

Those who actually drank the porridge simply remained silent, saying, "If you want to drink it, then drink it," and not a single one of them uttered a sound.

The situation of too many monks and too little porridge lasted for almost half a month until someone casually asked about it, and Liu Yiyi revealed the reason.

It wasn't that her production couldn't keep up; it was that the supply of raw materials was insufficient, and one of the main materials was actually the wisteria flowers from the administration building.

The old leader, who had initially thought she was facing some major difficulty, hesitated for a long time after seeing the wisteria flower cakes that the cafeteria had made as an extra meal for everyone today. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to scold Liu Yiyi.

Only Zhao Feng, the negotiator, was sent over. He was seriously instructed to clearly communicate the difficulties of the young comrade and to prevent such rare materials from being treated as food and sent to the canteen again!

Zhao Feng was just trying to trick Xiao Saying into revealing what kind of mutated plant posed the greatest threat to the future and where it grew, when his superior assigned him this task.

"Isn't this something you can just ask if you have a mouth?" Zhao Feng was also helpless about this. Fortunately, Liu Yiyi and Lin You were quite familiar with each other, so it wouldn't be difficult to go over and communicate with them.

After this is over, he will need to find someone to deal with the mutated peach tree that will eventually take over half the city. He should strike first while it is still in its infancy.

Liu Yiyi's shop is quite simple. Apart from two pots, the rest are entertainment facilities for her and Lin You. When Zhao Feng came over, the two of them were facing each other, fiddling with potted plants.

The little peach tree was instructed by Liu Yiyi to act like an ordinary peach tree in front of strangers and not to show anything unusual. Even Zhao Feng did not notice anything amiss.

After hearing his purpose, Liu Yiyi didn't hide anything and directly stated that she needed mutated plants as the main ingredient, and after special cooking methods, she could enhance the abilities of various types of ability users.

This was a win-win situation for Zhao Feng. He immediately patted his chest and assured her that he would take care of it and deliver the wisteria flowers or other mutated plants to her soon.

Following Xiao Saying's clues, Zhao Feng led the official superpower team to an S-shaped river. They searched for a long time at the bend in the river, but still couldn't find the mutated peach tree that was supposed to shrink.

However, it's no secret that mutated plants can move. Once they've finally learned to walk, it's common for them to go out for a stroll.

But wouldn't it take a little too long for the peach tree to go for a stroll? Zhao Feng thought it would be a piece of cake, so he came along to make it easier for him to deliver the mutated plant to Liu Yiyi later.

After a day and a night of waiting, they still hadn't seen a single peach leaf. Zhao Feng, an office worker, was really exhausted after waiting all night, but for the future of the people, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

They endured the elements for three days until Cheng Xiao happened to pass by and, after hearing that they were keeping watch over a peach tree that could shrink, he explained the situation to them.

"It's that potted plant in Miss Liu's shop. Anyone who goes in can see it. If you tease it, it'll tattle. It's so funny." Cheng Xiao finished speaking and left to do his mission.

Today, the leader said he got another good thing. He'll exchange it for contribution points and then lead everyone to eat Australian lobster again.

After Liu Yiyi finished making today's portion of porridge, she started organizing all sorts of ingredients and seasonings, filling the whole room.

She looks diligent and hardworking, but after drinking the porridge she makes, everyone subconsciously takes three steps back.

Zhao Feng went to the shop again and finally confirmed that the little peach tree that had been tamed and had learned to dance the square dance with Liu's parents was indeed the mutated peach tree that Xiao Saying had mentioned.

Seeing Liu Yiyi's puzzled expression, Zhao Feng left in a daze. Although he didn't play a significant role in the process, the ending was good nonetheless.

He still needed to interrogate Xiao Saying to find out the address of the next mutated plant, since he had promised Lin You to send her the mutated plant, and he couldn't go back on his word.

Not long after Zhao Feng left, Long Yu once again brought a mutated plant into the shop. A cactus covered in thorns and almost half a meter tall was thrown onto the table.

Looking at Long Yu's hands, there were still traces of purple lightning, and the cactus's body was charred black from being struck by lightning, clearly indicating that it had been through a great battle.

"Boss Liu, are you going to take this one? Although it doesn't have the charm of a little peach tree, it's still good to keep it outside the gate; it can at least guard your house."

Long Yu tried his best to promote his products, even poking a cactus. The money he made would all go towards the meat on his team members' tables.

The cactus, which had been beaten senseless, got up again and assumed an attack stance towards Long Yu.

Before Long Yu could even make a move, a branch suddenly stretched out from the side and slammed the cactus back onto the table with a "smack".

After scolding the newcomer, the little peach tree nuzzled against Liu Yiyi affectionately, and finally gave Long Yu a disdainful look.

It's just a peach tree, and I don't know who it learned these skills from. It has no face, but the expressions it makes are vivid and lifelike. It's just that Long Yu's mood is not very pleasant.

The cactus that he and his team spent three days and three nights catching was suddenly knocked down by the small peach tree they had caught earlier?!

Fortunately, Long Yu, having served as a captain in the apocalypse, still had a certain amount of thick skin. He touched his face and began to mock the cactus: "Such a big thing, and it got knocked down in one go. All those thorns are useless!"

The cactus thrashed about on the table in anger, wishing it could get up right then and there and continue fighting with Long Yu.

Lin You, who had been playing the background role, spoke up at the right moment: "If you're going to drop thorns, then behave yourself. If you keep thrashing around and mess up the table, then you'll just end up cooking them."

The cactus, still unconvinced, was about to get up and continue fighting when it suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure. Lin You looked at it calmly and indifferently, as if it were looking at a piece of food.

The cactus instantly became docile, lying obediently on the table. Even the little peach tree next to it was startled, its branches that were playfully flirting with Liu Yiyi quickly retracting, trying its best to be a proper potted plant.

Liu Yiyi frowned and glanced at the prickly cactus. She had heard of it and knew it was edible, but she had never eaten it before.

Besides, this is different from picking peach tree leaves. Those leaves are like hair, and a few fall off every day. You can't cut a piece off a cactus every day, can you?

Putting aside whether she could win or not, the way she was struggling clearly showed that she was quite intelligent, and Liu Yiyi couldn't bring herself to do it.

She exchanged a glance with Lin You, whose eyes then darted towards Long Yu. Liu Yiyi immediately understood and provoked him, saying:

"What I need here are ingredients that can be used long-term, like the leaves of the peach tree. But this cactus is covered in thorns, which is not only troublesome to process, but also cannot be harvested for a long time."

They're definitely not as useful as the small peach trees, and there's not much value in harvesting them. If all else fails, we can do as Captain Long suggested and plant them somewhere as gatekeepers."

The cactus immediately bristled, its sharp thorns visibly standing on end. How could it be less useful than a peach tree? Aside from its thorns, there was nothing on its body that couldn't be eaten, while the branches of a peach tree were clearly inedible!

It shook its head, trying to let Liu Yiyi see the fruit that had grown on its head, and then shook another flower bud that had not yet appeared, to show that cacti can also flower and bear fruit.

Liu Yiyi looked at the fruit before reluctantly agreeing to accept the cactus. However, when it came time to transfer contribution points, Long Yu only asked for 999 contribution points.

"It's one thing to be unable to beat the little peach tree. But it's not even as useful as the little peach tree. Since it's inferior to the little peach tree, it doesn't deserve to be priced the same as the little peach tree."

With just one contribution point, Long Yu successfully made the cactus tremble with anger, then left satisfied with the contribution point.

Liu Yiyi ran to the rooftop again and brought over a vegetable basket. The cactus turned its head away in disgust, but eventually obediently went over and buried itself in the soil.

Lin You also stuck a talisman on its basket. The cactus, which had been wriggling around, immediately quieted down upon sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the talisman.

If it were a fight, it might struggle a bit, but against something that could crush it into mud with mere pressure, it'd better behave itself.

The cactus shook its head, scattering two fruits onto the table, and nudged Liu Yiyi with a leaf, its entire being exuding a cowardly aura.

Liu Yiyi peeled open the cactus fruit, cut off a small piece, and placed it on a page of "The Creative Food Guide." Soon after, new content appeared:

The mutated cactus fruit, after being specially cooked, can enhance supernatural abilities. It is only suitable for lightning-type supernatural beings and is prohibited for ordinary people to consume. Other supernatural beings will experience various discomfort symptoms depending on their individual differences after consuming it.

Perhaps because the cactus gives fruit, the description is different from that of petals and leaves. Not only is there no mention of a small amount, but it also says that people with other types of superpowers cannot eat it. The description makes it seem like it's very powerful.
