With times tough, Zhou Shengyue had to pull strings through her mom just to land her first job after graduating with a culinary degree: going back to her university as a "cafeteria lady."
And not just any university cafeteria, but the cafeteria of one of the country's top sports universities!
The sprinting champion races toward the serving counter so fast he seems to teleport. The martial arts champion and the sanda champion show off their national-standard skills over a single chicken leg...
Zhou Shengyue can only think: You athletes had better not turn into zombies!
And then the apocalypse really does arrive!
The whole world is gamified. Zombies surround the city, and viral contamination, extreme cold and heat, acid rain, and floods come one after another!
All of humanity is forced to bind to an apocalypse survival System. Only if people survive to the very end can Blue Star successfully ascend to a higher dimension.
As the zombie horde sweeps across campus, and even world champions cannot escape infection, the ancestral iron-wok jade pendant on Zhou Shengyue's chest suddenly awakens!
[Ding! The Iron Wok Culinary Inheritance System has been activated!]
While everyone else kills monsters to level up and awakens supernatural abilities, she picks up her spatula and starts studying the recipes left behind by her ancestors.
[Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry: Improves resistance to viruses!]
[Explosive Roasted Sweet Potato: Causes an area explosion when thrown!]
[...]
One ordinary home-style dish after another becomes a precious life-saving medicine and a combat artifact in the apocalypse!
Others awaken supernatural abilities.
She awakens her family's inherited cooking skills, mastering frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, and every other technique!
From then on, champions capable of smashing zombies with their bare hands line up, begging her to start cooking.
Powerful ability users from every corner fight tooth and nail for a bite to eat.
Later, apocalyptic disasters run rampant, monster armies close in, and humanity's last line of defense teeters on the brink of collapse.
Just as everyone falls into despair, believing the world is about to end, Zhou Shengyue comes charging in, hefting a huge iron wok and gripping her spatula.
"Make way! Don't block me from cooking!"
