Li Yan transmigrates into the death game Chronicles of Aurora and becomes a cannon-fodder character with zero combat power.
While everyone else starts with legendary gear and slays dragons, he starts with a winter melon in his arms, which even saves him from a goblin's axe!
His built-in System is even more ridiculous: mountains of ingredients, dazzling cookware, and not a single weapon.
Then he wakes a dying elven archer with a pot of red-braised pork:
[You have conquered an elite NPC! Skill point +1!]
Li Yan gets it:
Why grind monsters for levels when you can conquer them by feeding them?
The undead army is closing in? Set up a ten-meter wok on the city wall!
The Dark Lord lifts his hood. “That mapo tofu... can I get another serving?”
From then on, the world of Aurora changes beyond recognition
The dwarf blacksmith tosses aside his divine hammer and goes wild over tripe hotpot: “Forging? What could matter more than eating?”
The icy mage sends fireballs flying as she fights over tiramisu: “Touch my cream and I'll blow up your ancestors' graves!”
And Li Yan, the true God of Cooking, stirs the pot while adding points:
“What's the rush? We need to eat our fill before we have the strength to save the world!”
