Gourmet Conquest is a single-player food-themed conquest game. You can choose which characters to pursue, and reaching 100 Affection clears the game.
The protagonist immediately selected three villain NPCs with the highest difficulty settings. He was going to stream himself pursuing all three at once!
The first was a half-blood demon, obsessive and ruthless.
The second was a sinner from an immortal sect, burdened with guilt and devoted to the Unfeeling Dao.
The third was a stray cat demon, down on his luck, weak, and carrying a blood feud.
In the morning, the protagonist made crab roe noodles to warm the rebellious young demon's stomach. At noon, he cooked a pot of spiritual rabbit meat for the immortal-sect disciple to warm his heart. In the evening, he brought a hungry young cat demon some spiritual fish soup.
It took the protagonist a full year of grinding to raise their Affection to 99. Just as he was about to clear the game... the game System bugged out.
All three villain NPCs appeared on the main screen at the same time. Rivals meeting each other were especially quick to see red. "You said I was the only one! It was all a lie!"
The protagonist's hand jerked, and he closed the game. He thought the game had just gone off the rails, but...
He transmigrated, taking the gourmet game System with him into the game world after its disastrous ending!
The cultivation world had three powerful figures: the Demon Venerable, the Immortal Venerable, and the Demon King. Rumor had it that they were bitter enemies. Rumor had it that the same person had once betrayed and toyed with all three of them. Rumor had it that they did not even know that person's name.
Until one day, someone saw the Demon Venerable picking vegetables at a restaurant in an immortal residence, the Immortal Venerable making shaved ice, and the Demon King hauling all kinds of spirit beasts to give to the young owner of the immortal restaurant...
The protagonist, surrounded by them: ...Heaven really wants me dead!
Three people trapped in desperate circumstances received delicious dishes from a mysterious person, delivered day after day, rain or shine. They were wary, they longed for more, and they found salvation.
But then, one day, they discovered that they were not the only ones being saved!
