Jiang Chen loses his job and returns to his hometown, where he takes over the shabby little restaurant his grandfather left behind. By chance, he binds himself to the [Myriad Realms Hardcore Cooking God System].

He thought he could use the System to rise straight to the top, but its very first mission is: “A perfect bowl of Yangchun noodles needs the springiest flour. Host, go to the hills behind the village, reclaim the wasteland with your own hands, and plant and harvest an acre of premium winter wheat.”

Jiang Chen: ???

And so, everything takes a very different turn.

To make a perfect beggar’s chicken, he rents an entire mountain and spends his days chasing chickens all over it. To simmer a top-tier seafood soup, he gets a diving certification and ventures into stormy waters to harvest abalone.

Diner #1: “Boss Jiang, you’re charging 888 for a bowl of clear noodle soup? That’s daylight robbery!”

Jiang Chen holds up his callused hands. “I grew the wheat for these noodles myself and ground it into flour. I fetched the spring water from the mountains before dawn. If you think it’s too expensive, turn left outside and have instant noodles.”

Before long, countless gourmands, powerful tycoons, and A-list actresses are lining up outside Jiang Chen’s restaurant every day, each with a little stool in hand.

The chef of a world-famous restaurant comes to investigate undercover. After one plate of mapo tofu, he bursts into tears and smashes the sign bearing his own name.

This is the story of a diver who learns that a chef who doesn’t want to be a farmer isn’t a proper chef.
