Being interrupted by Lin Daiyu, Bai Yanjun looked unhappy and said dissatisfiedly: "Daiyu, why should we care about her? People like her don't deserve care."

The little ripples of affection he had for Shen Tangtang had long been washed away by her cold attitude. Now Bai Yanjun only felt disgust towards the ungrateful Shen Tangtang.

She doesn't look like a woman at all. No matter how pretty she is, it can't hide the fact that she is a shrew.

Taking Bai Yanjun’s contemptuous look into consideration, Shen Tangtang didn’t care.

I moved my ears and heard the sound of footsteps and rapid breathing behind a peach tree.

I didn’t see who it was, but my thoughts reached me first.

[System, is the energy stone you detected under that tree? Eh~ Why are there so many people? No, no, aren't those the hero and heroine? Damn, damn, damn, 687, you unreliable love brain system.]

[Host, 687 is a strategy system, not a love brain system. Please be careful with your language.]

[Also, host, according to the book, the hero and heroine will not obtain this energy stone this time. They will find it in a mutant rat hole under this tree while chasing a mutant rat next spring.]

[Huh~ I see, then there's no need to rush. Oh, by the way, let's check who's in the tree with the male and female protagonists.]

[Okay host, please spend 1000 points to view the important female supporting characters in the novel "I'm a Cook in the Wasteland Apocalypse".]

[Host, you uncle, I spent so much time conquering the game to get 2000 points, and you want to take half of it, are you embezzling it?]

[Host, are you still checking?]

[Check it out! Check it out! Points are earned, not saved.]

[Ding~ View successful. Shen Tangtang, the eldest daughter of the Shen family in District 3, was brought to Dawn City by a servant after her aunt exchanged her life for her own daughter. When Shen Tangtang was five, the servant disappeared, their fate unknown. That same year, she entered the Dawn City orphanage camp, where she met the heroine, Lin Daiyu. They supported each other and agreed to leave the camp and live together after adulthood. Later, because Lin Daiyu broke the contract, she lived alone in the shantytown. This past winter, she died from a recurrence of an old injury, becoming the scapegoat for Shen Tangtang's fate.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic! It's worth spending all those points! Such detailed information! And what's going on with Shen Tangtang? Did she take over the female supporting character's life?]

[Sorry host, Chen Tangtang is a character outside the book, only given a name. Cannot be found.]

Shen Tangtang was also silenced. She also wanted to say that she was so miserable. They caught her and made fun of her.

I just didn't expect that the parents in the original owner's memory were not real parents, but just servants of the Shen family. But the protection and love that the parents showed to Xiao Tangtang in the memory were not fake, at least not in the memory.

Shen Tangtang gently pinched the wooden sign around her neck. She had some doubts that the real reason she could exchange her life with Shen Tangtang was because of this wooden sign.

It's not that she didn't sense the aura of the wooden sign after awakening her superpowers, but she didn't take it seriously because all she detected with her bracelet was an ordinary piece of wood. Now, after hearing the conversation between Jiang Li and her system, Shen Tangtang had reason to suspect that the pair of servants were definitely sent by that aunt.

"Tangtang, are you okay?"

Seeing Shen Tangtang silent, Lin Daiyu spoke softly. She knew that what Bai Yanjun said was excessive, but she would need him later, and she couldn't let him get suspicious for the time being, so she could only let Tangtang down.

"It's okay, Sister Dai Yu, it's getting late, you should hurry up and test the food!"

Shen Tangtang gave Lin Daiyu a soothing smile and began to test it nimbly.

I heard from Jiang Li and the system that there is an energy stone under this tree, so there should be many leaves with low radiation values.

[Test results show that the peach leaves have a radiation value of 87%, making them inedible.]

After checking the words on the bracelet, Shen Tangtang sighed. Maybe it was just luck. She would check the next leaf.

[Test results show that the peach leaves have a radiation value of 74%, making them inedible.]

[Test results show that the peach leaves have a radiation value of 93%, making them inedible.]

…

Good, good, no wonder no one knew there was an energy stone under this tree. That's how it works, right? It's just that the hero and heroine are lucky, otherwise who would have gotten it?

Sensing that the person under the tree had not left, Shen Tangtang showed a hint of evil amusement on her face.

She threw peaches the size of basketballs at the foot of the tree.

Bang! It broke into pieces, and the fragrance of peach spread everywhere.

"Ah~ Ahhhh... Who is so wicked? Can't they see there's someone here?"

Jiang Li was still chatting with the system when he was startled by the sudden sound and almost broke his voice.

The sound attracted Lin Daiyu and Bai Yanjun who were checking the peach leaves around them.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding here?"

When Lin Daiyu saw the familiar white clothes, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes almost burst into flames, but reason told her that this shouldn't be Jiang Li, because Jiang Li had not yet arrived in Dawn City.

"I, I, I am picking up trash here."

Jiang Li was startled and didn't react. His voice was a little stammering. Then he thought of something and looked up and said in a very aggressive tone: "Who are you? This is a scavenging ground in the wild. Isn't it normal for me to be here? You're crazy."

When Lin Daiyu saw Jiang Li's face, his body stiffened instantly and he couldn't say a word. His mouth trembled and his eyes were wide open.

[System, has this heroine eaten explosives? Her tone is so harsh, as if I were her enemy in a past life. Where is the gentle cook? Are you sure this is gentle?]

[Host, 687 doesn't know either. You just need to focus on the male lead. If you can get along with the female lead, then go ahead. If not, you can just ignore her.]

Bai Yanjun also saw Jiang Li, and suddenly covered his chest with his hands, his eyes blurred.

What's going on? Why does his heart beat so fast when he sees this woman, just like when he first saw Dai Yu? Could it be...

"Girl, are you here alone? Are you scavenging with friends?"

[Host, Bai Yanjun's favorability has increased by 10%. I am rewarded with 1000 points, 5 jin of 0% radiation-value Wuchang rice, and a 550ml bottle of Coke. These have been stored in the system space. Please keep up the good work!]

[Wow, not bad, not bad. Sure enough, it's the right strategy to capture the protagonist. The ones I captured before were all awful, and none of the rewards were edible.]

Jiang Li looked at Bai Yanjun with sparkling eyes, as if she were looking at some rare item. If she could capture Bai Yanjun, she would have accumulated 100,000 points, enough to buy the Power Ball in the mall.

Lin Daiyu stood in front of Bai Yanjun with a full sense of crisis, blocking the two people who were looking at each other from a distance, his fingernails almost digging into the flesh.

Shen Tangtang sat on a branch and ate melon silently, her little feet swaying.

You ate my melon before, and now I eat your melons. You and I are both experts at eating melons.
