Fear of food

Chapter 60 Confession (Please continue reading!)
Chen Qi was in high spirits and his mind was sharp; he had never felt so energetic before.

He was incredibly excited; he never expected this test to give him such a big surprise!

"Isn't this the effect of super coffee?!"

The super coffee created after the transformation of coffee's capabilities has the effect of replenishing energy; drinking one cup a day means you won't need to sleep at night.

However, Super Coffee can only be consumed by the coffee itself.

Now, the effects of Super Coffee have been transferred to Super Cola, allowing Chen Qi to also enjoy the effects of Super Coffee.

This means that as long as other Xenophaners with qualitative changes in their abilities can process wild food a second time, he can enjoy the effects of this person's ability!
"That's incredible!"

"pity……"

Unfortunately, only Coffee in the team has achieved a qualitative leap in his abilities so far.

Unfortunately, apart from coffee, only Xu An'an can reliably process wild foods.

I had to drink a cup of super coffee to barely regain my energy.

Looking at Chen Qi's energetic appearance, she also saw the value in it and said, "Your wild food is too abnormal. It can even support our abilities for you to use. If we give you a few more powerful assistants, wouldn't you be invincible?"

It's important to know that pica eaters are not allowed to further process other people's exclusive food.

For example, if someone orders milk tea as takeout and then orders coffee, the coffee shop can't process it using its own methods.

Not only is Chen Qi's wild food unrestricted, but it can also absorb the effects of other people's abilities!

"However, my ability to not sleep won't be of much help to you. You should quickly help Bread improve her abilities. Maybe after her abilities undergo a qualitative change, it will give you a boost in combat."

Chen Qi nodded in agreement. Xu An'an had never eaten any high-end food, yet she could create such a handy weapon as a baguette. What would happen if her ability underwent a qualitative change?

"When I get back, I'll find some more wild food and let Bread try to make a few more baguettes so that everyone in our group can have one."

"Great idea!" Big Pancake was the first to agree. "They're the Axe Gang, from now on we'll be the Baguette Gang!"

Coffee said, "I promised to arrange accommodations for you today, so I'll make the arrangements now."

Chen Qi and Zhui Feng are both currently homeless, and Xu An'an's school dormitory is also dangerous for her.

All three of them pointed to the wealthy woman, Coffee, as the reason for arranging their accommodations.

Just then, Xu An'an suddenly spoke up: "I know that parasite in the hospital just now. He's an old professor from our school."

Coffee stopped typing and looked up: "Is he a professor at Jinghai Medical College? He must be a doctor at the hospital too."

As an affiliated hospital of Jinghai Medical College, many of the doctors at Jinghai Medical College Affiliated Hospital are also teachers at the college.

Zhui Feng sighed, "Sure enough, schools and hospitals are like dragon's dens and tiger's lair, and medical schools are even more like the tiger's lair within a dragon's den."

Chen Qi's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Where's Dr. Zhao? Is he also a teacher at your college?"

Xu An'an nodded: "Yes, but he seems to come to school very rarely to teach. He is mainly responsible for supervising interns."

Chen Qi became even more certain that the high-end food he was looking for should be at Jinghai Medical College.

Dr. Zhao, a doctor who rarely attends classes, made a special trip to Jinghai Medical College during working hours on August 30th. He must have had some special purpose.

Chen Qi was having a headache. Why did the high-quality wild food he was looking for always appear in such high-risk areas?
Medical school is a more dangerous place than a hospital.

Coffee said to Xu An'an, "In that case, you need to be more careful. The old professors at your school and Dr. Zhao at the hospital may have noticed you. Even if you haven't eaten high-class food before, your situation will be very dangerous."

Xu An'an said directly, "I plan to drop out of school."

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Xu An'an to be so decisive.

However, this is indeed the safest and most reliable option.

Coffee smiled and said, "Why don't you take a leave of absence first? That way, if the world returns to normal later, you can continue your studies." Xu An'an shook her head: "Medical students make money too slowly. If I take a leave of absence for another year or two, I don't know when I'll be able to earn money."

"So, Coffee Sister, you don't need to arrange accommodation near the school for me."

Coffee nodded, then asked curiously, "Are you short of money? I can lend you some."

Xu An'an said, "Yes, but it's alright. My ability requires me to use the extra money I earn each day to buy ingredients, or to use ingredients given to me by others, in order to make bread."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qi suddenly realized why Xu An'an was always so happy whenever she received money from him.

As a student, she also has to work at the hospital every day, so she doesn't really have many opportunities to earn money.

Given her family situation, she probably doesn't receive any living expenses from home.

She's still a struggling medical student...

Zhui Feng said, "This is easy to solve. We can send you more ingredients at once, and you can make bread and store it for later consumption."

Xu An'an nodded; she had done the same thing before. She had used all 100 yuan Chen Qi had given her to buy ingredients that day, then made bread, which was still piled up in her dorm room.

Chen Qi asked, "So when do you plan to go back to complete the withdrawal procedures? And you still need to pack your luggage, right?"

Xu An'an bluntly replied, "I'm not going, I don't dare."

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Chasing the Wind joked, "Bread, I'm sure you'll outlive all of us in this disaster."

However, this is the most rational approach. Knowing that it is fraught with danger and that one could easily die there, who would be willing to risk going in to die?
Then Chen Qi said, "I plan to find an opportunity to visit your school."

"No, Cookie, are you crazy?"

"Yeah, didn't you see how ruthless that old man was today? There are probably a few like him in the medical school, and you still dare to go?"

They all looked puzzled.

"I plan to sneak in at night; the danger level in the school will be much lower at night."

Coffee seemed thoughtful as he asked, "Did Sun Xuechao say anything to you?"

“Yes.” Chen Qi nodded. “Brother Sun told me that my next source of wild food is at the medical school.”

"Are you... sure?"

"How would he know?"

Chen Qi remained silent for a few seconds.

He had actually considered keeping the fact that he had a Nightmare-eating parasite in his body a secret. Sun Xuechao had called him aside to talk about it before, also to help him keep it a secret.

Chen Qi didn't distrust his teammates in the group chat; rather, he was afraid that his teammates wouldn't trust him.

He didn't want any rifts to form between his teammates.

But then I thought, if he had chosen to hide it and it had been exposed later, that would have been a real collapse of trust.

Moreover, this is an extremely irresponsible act, since even Chen Qi himself cannot guarantee that he will not suddenly lose control one day and be controlled by the Nightmare Eater.

It's better to be upfront about it sooner rather than later.

Chen Qi did not hide anything and shared all the information he had obtained from Sun Xuechao.

Including the Nightmare Eater inside him, whose condition is unknown!

After he finished speaking, the living room fell silent.
