The protagonist, Lin Hao, was once an apprentice at the top nutrition research institute in the city. He was expelled and exiled to the edge of the wasteland of Neon City because he opposed the research institute's cooperation with the monopoly food giant "Taste Control Group" to tamper with nutritional formulas. The high-tech floating city here is clearly separated from the slums on the ground. People rely on the cheap synthetic meals of the Taste Control Group to survive, and they generally suffer from "nutritional imbalance syndrome." Relying on his remaining knowledge of nutrition, Lin Hao set up a simple food stall in the slums, using natural ingredients and simple purification devices to make nutritious meals, barely making ends meet. By chance, he discovered that an ingredient activator transformed from waste chips could significantly increase the nutrient absorption rate of ordinary ingredients. The same core technology was being monopolized by the Wei Kong Group for profit. The regional director of the Flavor Control Group noticed the signs of Lin Hao's technology and destroyed the food stall on the grounds of "illegal operation", seized Lin Hao's equipment, and injured the boy next door who depended on him. Lin Hao's life was completely in despair, but he also ignited his determination to fight against the monopoly.
