Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 676: Food Trap

Zhen Haowei, who was preparing to shoot, sensed something was wrong.

"Junior sister, could it be..."

When he cooked, there was nothing unusual, but that book "Extremes Lead to Opposite" was just like that, with two modes switching silently and without warning the owner. Once upon a time, he had offended many people because of it.

However, when others got tricked, he didn’t feel guilty. At most, he would apologize afterward, but if it were his junior sister... His phone was tossed aside, and it landed gently on the table.

The 6’3’’ chef darted nimbly to the table, anxiously watching the little girl’s face.

He saw her big, bright black eyes gradually becoming watery, and soon tears gathered, pattering down her cheeks.

"It’s so terribly awful!"

The food was so bad that it made Tuanzi cry.

The mix of burnt, dry, earthy, and other bizarre flavors had already reached her stomach, and Tuanzi couldn’t even vomit it out.

She looked at Zhen Haowei with tearful eyes, "How could there be such terrible food in the world? Miaomiao thought that the fish master burnt was already the worst."

Zhen Haowei was flustered and guilty.

"Extremes lead to opposite, you know, the better it was before, the worse it is now. I’m sorry, I didn’t know my cooking skills had changed."

Tuanzi was still teary-eyed, "Boohoo, it’s not just bad, but why do they disguise themselves to look so good? They’ve got color and aroma, shouldn’t ’Extremes Lead to Opposite’ be completely the opposite?"

This was something that had puzzled Zhen Haowei all along.

He stated his suspicion, "I think this manual is just trying to trick me. Just like now, without tasting, you wouldn’t know the food had changed."

Seeing Tuanzi sobbing and pitifully, he steeled himself, "I, I’ll eat them all!"

Tuanzi quickly stopped him.

"Senior brother, you’ll cry too if you eat them."

Once reduced to tears by awful food, Zhen Haowei said, "..."

To maintain his heroic image, he put on a brave face, "It’s still, still okay. I’m not very particular about the taste of food."

[Ancient Martial System: That’s clearly a lie. As a chef, not caring about flavor, that’s just giving up.]

Tuanzi thought this was an obvious lie too.

That awful taste was still lingering in her mouth, but she didn’t pursue it further, just looking at those meat dishes with heartache.

"It’s too awful, if I don’t eat and you don’t eat, what should we do? So much meat, it’s such a waste to throw away."

Thinking about it made her even sadder.

Zhen Haowei, not yet earning money, also felt it was a shame.

"Let senior brother think of a way," Zhen Haowei coaxed her, "I remember there’s still a piece of cake in the fridge, go eat the cake, it’s delicious."

Tuanzi reluctantly agreed.

But after taking a bite of the cake, her stopped tears flowed again.

"Boohoo, the cake’s turned into that weird taste too!"

Even the system thought the host was too pitiful.

Zhen Haowei didn’t believe it initially, but after trying the food himself and taking a sip of water, his face turned green.

"My skills increased."

The food was unpleasant but effective before; eating was the end of it. Now, after eating awful food, both drinks and food tasted the same weirdness, and the duration was unclear due to lack of data. However, if the side effect is this strong, it proves his food is more effective than before.

The chef couldn’t feel happy.

He knew how much his junior sister loved to eat.

He sneaked a glance at her and, feeling guilty, hung his head, even secretly deciding that in the future, whenever he cooked for his junior sister, he would find a taste tester in advance.

Feeling bad about the cake, Tuanzi quickly put it back in the fridge and poured a glass of water to wash away the taste. Zhen Haowei, secretly observing, stopped her.

Tuanzi instantly understood, her whole demeanor fading.

"So miserable! Miaomiao is so miserable!"

Zhen Haowei hung his head.

Unable to contain her sadness, Tuanzi decided to go to her room to sleep.

In sleep, she wouldn’t be threatened by the dreadful taste.

Soon, she had a dream—a big family gathering, with parents and master included, everyone was eating harmoniously.

Each person gave her food, quickly filling her bowl, and she happily picked up a piece of duck with her chopsticks, taking a small bite. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The terrible taste spread.

Tuanzi immediately burst into tears.

The system, observing secretly, found the host murmuring ’so terrible’ even in her dreams, growing ever more curious about the food’s taste and how Zhen Haowei would solve it all.

In the dining room.

Zhen Haowei sent a message to Ji Zhangzhuo and hid back in the kitchen. Not long after, Ji Zhangzhuo, who also loved meat, rushed into the dining room, picked up chopsticks, seized a piece of chicken, and shoved it into his mouth.

He froze.

"It’s an illusion, right?"

He held back his tears, finished the piece of chicken, and took another piece. Unable to bear it any longer, he poured a glass of water, only to find the water tasted just as strange. He jumped up to leave, fleeing the trap of visually appealing and aromatic food.

In the kitchen, Zhen Haowei murmured, "Only solved two pieces, not enough."

He tricked Li Zhou into coming over.

The awful food emitted a fragrance and an energy that attracted Li Zhou.

Li Zhou couldn’t resist and ate a piece, and that’s all she wrote.

Soon after, East Gate East arrived.

He came joyfully, but left crying.

"Sigh, others aren’t falling for it." After everyone left, Zhen Haowei sighed standing by the table.

"Such a waste, this isn’t right."

He pondered, with both senior brother and third brother not home, how about tricking junior sister’s brothers?

Which of junior sister’s brothers would be easier to trick? Anyway, Gu Chi, who dined once, wouldn’t be easy to trick.

It so happened that Gu Zhuo and Gu Li brothers came to visit Tuanzi that day. Knowing she was napping, they couldn’t bear to disturb her nor leave.

All the other senior brothers hid in their rooms from the awful food, leaving only the seemingly honest Zhen Haowei to accommodate them.

This man, his face looking sincere and his temperament honest, rubbed his hands together, "Happened to cook up a table of food, would you like to try some?"

Gu Zhuo, always soft-hearted, especially when compared to those cousins who didn’t get along with their sister, and other aloof senior brothers, found this senior brother the most warm-hearted they’d encountered.

The two brothers exchanged a glance and both sat down, finding the dishes visually pleasing and aromatic, so much so that they couldn’t help praising them.

But after a bite, they could no longer praise.

Looking up, they saw Zhen Haowei looking at them with expectation, "How is it?"

Gu Li was about to tell the truth, but Gu Zhuo coughed a few times.

"Not bad."

Gu Li: "..."

For that ’not bad,’ they ate all the dishes.

The bizarre taste made them so sick they couldn’t move.

After they finished, Tuanzi was startled awake from her sleep, and dared not sleep again.

Discovering the strange taste was no longer in her mouth, she trotted downstairs, ready to eat the cake to soothe her wounded heart.

"Hey, Brother Gu Zhuo, Brother Gu Li, you’re here."

Passing through the living room and seeing her two cousins, she ran over to greet them, noticing their green faces, her expression gradually growing horrified, "You wouldn’t have..."

They lay half slumped on the sofa, unwilling to move.
