[High-martial world + gourmet food + Cthulhu + System + hellish cuisine + divine and demonic diners + the more outrageous, the more invincible]
After transmigrating into a high-martial world, former chef Su Ming discovers that his System is broken.
What awakens isn't the [Supreme Cooking System of the Myriad Worlds], but the [Hellish Cookbook: Incomplete Edition].
The System says: the more hellish the dish, the more heaven-defying its effects.
Su Ming looks at the stinky tofu, durian, and canned herring at hand, falls silent for three seconds, and gets to work.
First dish, [Naihe Bridge Meng Po Soup: All-You-Can-Drink Edition]: stinky tofu for the base, durian to bring out the flavor, and canned herring as the finishing touch. Black fumes billow into the sky as an eerie wind howls, sending passersby fleeing with their noses covered.
A dying swordsman, with nowhere else to turn, tilts his head back and drains a bowl.
He comes back to life on the spot, his sword intent breaks through to the pinnacle, and his eyes say it all: "I can face death without fear."
[Ding! Hellishness +100. Reward: Sword Intent Immunity, permanent passive!]
From then on, Su Ming's "Hellish Little Restaurant" becomes famous throughout the land, though not a single normal person comes through its doors.
An ancient evil god covered from head to toe in eyeballs enters with trembling steps and specifically asks for "Deep One Sashimi";
An empress whose dynasty's fortune is collapsing topples half the realm just to get her hands on a serving of "Deep-Fried Heavenly Dao";
The founder of an immortal sect, bedridden with illness for three hundred years, shows up punctually every day with a cane, all for a bowl of "Steamed Ancient God Brains";
Even the unnameable being said to have slept for ten thousand years comes one late night and quietly knocks on the restaurant's back door: "Boss... do you... have anything here... that's not on the menu... something special?"
Su Ming ties on his apron, his expression calm. "We do. It'll cost extra."
This is the story of a chef who conquers the most discerning diners with the most hellish cuisine.
