[The story premise has changed. You can check out the new blurb!]
After graduating, Xia Lin inherited her family's cafeteria.
Her cooking was delicious and looked amazing, and her hand never shook when serving food. In her first year on the job, Xia Lin was named the cafeteria's prettiest auntie.
Xia Lin: ...Who are you calling auntie?!
Her cafeteria business kept growing.
One day, just as she was about to sign a contract for a new branch, a steel bar fell from the sky and hit her on the head. When she woke up, she found that somehow her cafeteria's first branch had been signed into an Infinite Flow dungeon's rest stop.

A young man who'd just emerged from a survival dungeon was so hungry his legs were trembling. He pointed shakily at the octopus tentacle on the metal tray, which was still wriggling and thicker than his arm.
"Is this octopus... legit?"
Xia Lin waved her spatula and poured freshly heated oil over her secret seasoning.
The next moment, a rich, spicy fragrance filled the entire room.
The young man looked at the food label, [Restores 20% HP], and swallowed. "Auntie, I'll have one."
Xia Lin expertly scooped up a portion with a big ladle. Then, under the young man's expectant gaze, she shook it until only one piece was left.
Xia Lin smiled. "Call me auntie again and you'll be banned from the cafeteria."
The young man: ...

Xia Lin never understood why the branch of her cafeteria in this place was always visited by such strange people.
There were burly men covered in blood from terrible wounds, one-eyed musclebound cuties, and even birdmen with wings.
Everyone questioned her ingredients, and everyone ended up in awe of her cooking.
Xia Lin, who personally went out to capture the ingredients: ?
Aren't these just ordinary octopus tentacles, ordinary bok choy, and ordinary pork?
A few rules are passed around the rest hall in the Infinite Flow world:
#Don't offend the cafeteria auntie
#Don't call Xia Lin auntie
#Don't tell Xia Lin the truth about these ingredients
#All players must keep the cafeteria safe
