I Became an Internet Celebrity Across the Universe by Cooking Garbage

Ming Xi transmigrates into a sci-fi novel as a vicious female side character destined to suffer emotionally and physically before dying a terrible death.

Ming Xi: I’ve finally gotten another chance at life, so I absolutely can’t bring about my own demise! Stay away from the male lead, eat well, and live well. That’s the way to go.

In this interstellar world, there’s no food other than nutrient solutions, and they’re outrageously expensive. Ming Xi has no money.

How is she supposed to survive?

At her lowest point, Ming Xi gains a System that lets her identify the food in this world that is safe to eat! While everyone else scavenges for materials in the trash to trade for nutrient solutions, Ming Xi digs up rice and peanuts.

The people of Trash Star have always survived on nutrient solutions.

One day, the vicious, scheming Ming Xi actually picks poisonous plants out of the trash and eats them! Then she even tries to share them with everyone!

Someone curses her out: “If you want to die, die by yourself. Don’t drag us down with you.”

Someone else gloats: “Ming Xi must be starving out of her mind to eat that stuff. But she deserves to die!”

Later, everyone smells the aroma of rice porridge and crushed peanuts, and their mouths begin to water. “Slurp!”

Interstellar influencers are either incredibly powerful or stunningly beautiful with perfect figures.

One day, a new streamer suddenly appears on the interstellar net, scavenging for ingredients in the trash every day and livestreaming her cooking.

Watching the streamer turn poisonous rice, poisonous soybeans, and highly toxic animals into one delicious dish after another, interstellar netizens say, “This streamer will do anything to get famous, even risk her life. Is that stuff really edible?”

Then they smell the aromas coming through their scent simulators. “S-slurp? What’s that coming out of my mouth?”

The emperor of the empire also watches the livestream, going “slurp, slurp.”

The imperial attendant says, “His Majesty, who has always detested the entertainment industry, has started watching livestreams! And he’s making strange noises!”

The members of parliament and the royal family refuse to believe it. “What kind of livestream could possibly interest His Majesty, the decisive emperor? I’ll go see... Is that edible? Won’t it kill you?”

After turning on their scent simulators: “S-slurp? Why am I swallowing so hard?”
