Becoming a Winner in a Food Manga [Book Transmigration]

Chuunibyou, hot-blooded, goofy comedy, and a hardworking leveling-up story

Yu Chunqiu transmigrated into the manga he’d been reading while eating instant noodles.

It was a food manga. The protagonist was a street thug whose favorite pastime was doing nothing all day, then going off to hunt for snacks in the streets and alleys. The sharp contrast between his tough-guy identity and the way he savored delicious food made the story feel wonderfully down-to-earth. It was called “the year’s best manga to read while eating.”

Yu Chunqiu watched the protagonist rob an elementary school student outside the school gates, then take the money to a little restaurant. He spat a mouthful of instant noodles onto the manga. “You’re robbing kids just to buy a five-yuan bowl of tiny wontons?!”

Then, in a flash, he was standing in that shabby alley, a lollipop stick in his mouth, one hand gripping an elementary school student by the collar.

Yu Chunqiu: ...

He quickly fixed his expression, let go, and smoothed the child’s collar for good measure. “Be careful when you’re out and about. If you run into someone like me next time, remember what they look like and go to the police.”

With that, he turned and walked away.

According to the manga, at this point he should have gone a whole day without eating, then rushed into a snack shop, starving, and ordered a bowl of chicken-soup wontons.

Yu Chunqiu charged inside and stood in front of the owner with a fierce look on his face.

“Do you... need someone to do odd jobs?”

What’s so impressive about robbing elementary school students?

Starting out doing odd jobs at a snack shop, he learned the craft and opened his own shop.

The shop earned a great reputation and began to expand through acquisitions, growing into a citywide chain.

He built a brand, founded a company, and gradually became No. 1 in the food industry.

At last, Yu, owner of the Yu food-service empire and already financially independent, stood onstage. “I’ve always been thinking about how people from humble backgrounds can change their fate.

“So I’ve decided to use the income I’ve earned over the years to establish a special foundation and a culinary school...”

A story about an ordinary man working his way to the peak of life.
