Novel title: Transmigrating Back to the Three Kingdoms: Upgrading the Stomach-Pouch System with Steamed Jelly and Donkey-Meat Flatbreads
Main synopsis:
Liu Mang, a modern-day office drone, transmigrates to the Three Kingdoms era and becomes Liu Mianzi, who possesses a “Universal Civilization Legacy System” but is on the verge of starving to death. The System’s energy is deeply tied to the capacity of his stomach pouch. Only by voraciously devouring specific delicacies, such as steamed jelly and donkey-meat flatbreads, can he keep it running and redeem advanced technology. Just as the Oath of the Peach Garden is about to take place, he displays the System’s first miraculous power by enchanting weapons. He also conceals his identity as the leader of the Weizhen Clan, whose members can cook “energy meals” that boost combat strength. This earns him a position as “Master of the Army” in Liu Bei’s camp.
From then on, he develops weapons with the “chemistry department” in one hand, using the System’s technology, and builds a superlative mess hall with the “logistics camp” in the other, drawing on the Weizhen Clan. He brings modern technology, management, and the “power of food” to the struggle for supremacy. He helps Liu Bei rise to power by suppressing bandits, strengthens the army with food, and overwhelms the opposition with technology. He conquers Wu and Wei, ends the age of chaos, and eventually ascends the throne after receiving the abdication, ushering in a new era of culinary technology whose fighting power is rooted in food and which surpasses even the glorious age of Emperor Wu of Han.
