I Lured the Male Lead Away with Barbecue

The sequel, The Main God's Gift, is available to preorder~ Lu Wenjing blew himself up and was rescued by a malfunctioning System. But this System has another Host, and if they don't complete their missions, they'll all be destroyed together. To survive, he, a sword cultivator at the Great Ascension stage, has to start over from the Foundation Establishment stage. He can understand the clichéd points-gathering and world-saving missions, but isn't asking a sword cultivator to become a chef going too far?! Lu Wenjing: Gou Dan, come try this. Gou Dan: Blegh! Are you trying to poison the System?! * Gou Dan: When are you taking me to find my master? Lu Wenjing: Just wait a little longer. Hey, isn't that the male lead? Gou Dan: That's no male lead, that's my master! Jun Baiji: ? I'd like some grilled meat, please. * Gou Dan: My master turned into the male lead, so why doesn't he have a single golden finger? How did Lu Wenjing turn a passionate leveling-up story into a food-and-farming story? I'm exhausted. Other: 1. Lu Wenjing × Jun Baiji 2. They spoil each other, they spoil each other, they spoil each other (in bold and enlarged). Both perspectives are included, with a little more from the top's perspective. 3.

If you curse me, I'll cry [ * Coming next: The Zombie King Is a Construction Maniac Pei Nanxin opened his eyes and found himself inside the unfinished apocalypse game he'd been making. Well, well. He'd gone bald working on the game before he died, and now he had to be a boss NPC in it after death? No thanks. I'm out. Whoever wants to be the boss can do it. Game: As the boss, you need to build your own territory first~ Pei Nanxin: Great! I'll use the gameplay of Story of ×× Valley to play this apocalypse game! Game: ??? While the two neighboring cities are busy fighting, Pei Nanxin is reclaiming wasteland between them. When the neighbors get tired of fighting and come to recruit him, Pei Nanxin persuades them to team up and grow juicy little watermelons. When someone comes to hunt down the Zombie King, Pei Nanxin takes them to see the little tomatoes he's just grown. Pei Nanxin: Why fight the Zombie King? Where is this Zombie King? How about investing in a little bok choy, friend? One day, he finds the neighboring city's lord's younger brother in his territory. Something seems off about the guy. After waking up, he just keeps staring at Pei Nanxin. Cheng Hangxi: Can you take me in? I can clear land, draw water, and grow bok choy. I can also... help you beat people up. Pei Nanxin: ??? Is the neighboring city so broke that even the city lord's younger brother has to get a job? Other: 1. Pei Nanxin × Cheng Hangxi 2. The top's perspective, with mutual indulgence If you're interested, pop over to my author page and preorder it~ Theme: Difficulties aren't scary. Perseverance brings victory
