Gu Bai, a pure-hearted art student with severe social anxiety, couldn't find a job after graduation and was living in desperate poverty. Just as he was about to lose hope, he was bound to the [Hormonal Gourmet System].
The System's cold, mechanical voice carried a hint of temptation. “Host, we've detected that you desperately crave attention while being intensely afraid of socializing. This System will help you become the king of socializing.”
First task: [At midnight, outside the city's hottest Live House, “Lost,” sell 99 skewers of “Seven Emotions and Six Desires Grilled Kidneys,” which can stir up diners' true feelings.]
Gu Bai: “???” Grilled kidneys? And they're supposed to stir up seven emotions and six desires? I'm a man! Is it even appropriate for me to sell these?!
Trembling, he set up a small stall outside the bar. The irresistible aroma of his grilled skewers instantly overpowered the smells of cheap perfume and alcohol.
A wealthy heiress who had just been dumped by a jerk ate a skewer through her tears, then suddenly looked determined. “Why the hell am I crying? I'm going to slash his tires right now!”
An office worker who usually wore a suit and tie ate a skewer, slightly tipsy, then hugged a lamppost and started singing “Love You Even When I'm Dead.”
Then the top-tier star DJ, known for her icy demeanor and for never sparing men a glance, took one bite, then, for the first time ever, stepped down from the stage, removed her headphones, and fixed her cool gaze on Gu Bai. “Your skewers... are addictive. Give me ten more.”
Gu Bai discovered that his food could amplify people's suppressed emotions and desires. And he himself had gone from an invisible nobody in the corner to a flame drawing moths in the middle of the night.
