As a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a novel, the fake heiress Ning Xi had finally completed her storyline and been kicked out of the country by the real heiress's family to fend for herself. She couldn't even afford rent and was about to end up on the streets when a System dropped into her lap.
The food System's goal was to conquer the world with Chinese cuisine, but Ning Xi only wanted to be a lazy fish.
Ding! System notification: New Host bonus! You've won a luxurious 200-square-meter villa! Host, are you sure you don't want to claim your prize?
Ning Xi: ...I'll take it!
On a livestreaming app, some foreign viewers were confused:
What are qingtuan? Why are tangyuan different from yuanxiao? Can you fill them with meat? Where can I buy char siu? Isn't General Tso's chicken supposed to be sweet and sour?
Ning Xi: The app has gone overseas, but there's still a long way to go when it comes to food culture.
Ning Xi opened her livestream, armed with the System's finest ingredients...
A year later, Chinese people were stunned as short videos from foreign websites flooded their feeds:
A Hollywood Best Actress was promoting a Chinese delivery shop on X, claiming it served the best Chinese food she'd ever eaten!
A YouTube creator with tens of millions of followers was crying as he filmed himself begging the Chinese delivery shop to save him a portion of zongzi!
A prince from Saudi Arabia was offering a fortune to get someone online to give up their portion of knife-cut noodles from the Chinese delivery shop?
An international student who hadn't been home in years finally splurged on a bowl of dumplings from the Chinese delivery shop and shouted, “Chinese food really is overseas?!”
Chinese netizens clicked on Ning Xi's delivery livestream in confusion, then gaped in disbelief:
“Isn't this Ning Xi, the infamous star who was kicked out of show business a year ago?!”
“Holy crap, the deliveries are made by the robot Little Flying Hero, and they can reach other countries in half an hour!!”
“American scientists paid a fortune for Little Flying Hero, but after taking it apart, all they found was scrap metal. They couldn't figure out how it worked, and their offer of tens of billions to buy the Chinese delivery shop's technology was rejected?!”
“This delivery shop even has holographic technology!! I couldn't resist buying one of their holographic helmets. My kid's drooling with envy!”
“I'll say this on the record: Ning Xi's cooking is a hundred times better than that of the so-called beautiful chef who claims she's next in line to be the God of Cooking!”
After tasting Ning Xi's food in the holographic livestream, Chinese netizens complained bitterly:
“So why is China the only place without a Ning Xi delivery shop?!”
The real heiress's family: ...How do we deal with the whole country of foodies turning against us?
