Undersea Food City [Full-Dive]

[Draft in progress, 2025.8.3.] As interstellar lifespans grew longer, people's happiness kept declining. An investigation found the cause: they were bored. To liven things up, the Federation quickly launched the full-dive adventure game "Misty Star." Players could explore, fight monsters, embark on adventures, and solve puzzles. The first player to reach max level and successfully tame a dragon would receive a huge cash prize from the Federation and a private planet of their own. According to the law of sharing a name with the original character, Sha Yu transmigrated into a shark (?) in the Misty Sea. She came with a gourmet base-building System. Other players got speed potions, stamina potions, health potions, skill scrolls, and gear as monster drops. Her drops were pork belly, chicken drumsticks, tomatoes, potatoes, chili peppers (...). A base-building expert but a kitchen disaster, she agreed that this was an adventure game with a nightmarish difficulty level. But just as she gritted her teeth and set off on her unusual adventure, the pork belly suddenly spoke. Pork Belly: "Honey, blanch me in boiling water first, or I'll taste fishy." Sha Yu: "??? How many minutes?" Pork Belly: "Turn off the heat when I tell you to." Sha Yu: "...All right." A jar of Dongpo pork was stewed until tender and fragrant. Players adventuring beneath the sea followed the aroma, took a bite, and were shocked: not only was it delicious, it restored 100% of their health! Stir-fried cured meat with fresh bamboo shoots was savory and crisp, restoring 100% stamina; glutinous rice rolls were soft and chewy, increasing speed by 100%... The Undersea Food City dungeon went viral overnight. Players ran it three times a day, morning, noon, and night, lining up on schedule to jump into the sea. Anyone who cut in line got beaten up! One day, a huge beef bone simmering in boiling water suddenly sighed. "Why make bone broth? Wouldn't it be better to take this peerless divine weapon and go fight monsters?" Nearby, a stack of tofu skin waiting to be served cold whimpered, "I'm filthy. I'm covered in skills, and I can't wash them off." Sha Yu: !!! A year later, Sha Yu reached max level and received a huge cash prize and a private planet of her own. She was baffled. "But I haven't even had the chance to tame a dragon!" The Federation colonel who came to work for her and mooch meals every day, while playing the role of an evil dragon to liven things up: "Hello. Today is the 365th day since you tamed me." [Little Skit] At the Undersea Food City, the little shark is gentle and kind (for the money), while her refined, reserved boss works for her (for the free meals). In Dragon Valley, Sha Yu chases the evil dragon with a cleaver for the sake of top-tier ingredients. The dragon curses her out, saying she's vicious and shameless. Little Shark: "Some NPCs are just the worst." Working Boss: "Don't be mad. Some players are worse than animals." Little Shark: "Who upset you? I won't do business with them." Working Boss: "What about you? Tell me who it was, and I'll smash them for you." Little Shark: "Let's say it together. I'll count to three..." 1v1, happy ending~ (The blurb was screenshotted on 2021.10.1) Theme: Make the most of every day
