No One Survives the Haunting

When Lan Weiting was swept into an infinite survival world, he was taking a test to become the new chef at a street-food stall. Even when he came face-to-face with a bizarre puppet, he still had a spatula in his hand. "..." His gaze locked on it, and his Adam's apple bobbed suspiciously. "..." For some reason, it suddenly felt a chill shoot up from the soles of its feet, and couldn't help taking a step back. Their eyes met, and sparks flew between them. * In the newbie prize-draw, Lan Weiting won a Food Livestream System. So while he struggled to survive surrounded by ghosts, he calmly set a wok over the fire and poured in oil: "Wash and blanch the fresh ingredients we just harvested, then scoop them out. Bring a fresh pot of water to a boil, add two eggs, a little MSG, sesame oil, and salt, then add the water ghost's hair. Finally, sprinkle on a handful of scallions." The livestream chat flew by: [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon: Your cooking skills and ideas are simply marvelous.] [Black Stripe in the Waves: I don't know why, but that ghost in the water looks familiar.] [Cutie Cutie P: Streamer, streamer, what's this dish called? I want to make it for my brother when I get home.] [Matcha Leo: Danger, the brother upstairs is in danger.] "This dish is called..." The porcelain-pale young man curled his lips into a faint smile and proudly straightened his chest. "Water Ghost Egg Drop Soup." Someone sitting not far away rested his chin on his hand, smiling harmlessly as he obediently waited for Lan Weiting to feed him. Behind the scenes, unseen by everyone, black mist seeped out of the shadows and twisted the heads off one ghost after another as they tried to approach. * Two vicious creatures even more monstrous than ghosts had recently entered the world of infinite horror. One loved twisting off heads. Since his name was forbidden to speak, his codename was "Ghost-Head Shark-Hand." The other loved eating ghosts. He'd even written a book called One Hundred and Eight Ways to Eat Ghosts.
