Fleeing Famine in a Chaotic World: While People Eat Mud, I Roast Chicken

From the start, it's a famine, and while everyone else eats mud, I eat chicken!

Just looking at plants boosts my perception, and chopping firewood boosts my strength. This lousy System even gives me experience for breathing!

I awaken the god-tier cheat skill, "All Things Appraisal." Wherever there are mountain delicacies and wild game, one glance marks them more accurately than a GPS.

After transmigrating to the dying years of the Great Liang Dynasty, Ke Chuan finds himself in a frail body so starved it's nearly given out. At his side is a penniless little brother who cries and begs to feed him mud.

No need to panic! As long as I grind hard enough, anything can be upgraded.

While refugees across the land fight tooth and nail over half a piece of Guanyin clay, Ke Chuan has already taken his brother deep into the mountains, set up a purple copper hotpot, and started cooking succulent goat meat.

Bandits come to steal their food? One plate of wasabi-enchanted hotpot lamb sends a ninth-rank expert sprinting naked through the snow, his mouth on fire.

Tax collectors come to demand payment? One plate of intensely hallucinogenic roasted pork liver has the crooked officials clutching a twisted tree, wailing for their mothers.

While everyone else flees famine, Ke Chuan upgrades a grain cart into an iron-plated mobile command vehicle and drifts through the snow with a mountain of supplies!

"Chief Liu, you've got an impressive build. You're just the man to pull this cart loaded with thousands of jin of potatoes!"

The final boss, Blind Liu, wipes away his tears, puts on a set of ox harnesses, and sobs as he pulls the cart toward Yingchuan.
