I Really Do Run a Restaurant!

Blurb

At 22, food streamer Jiang Moli receives a special gift from the mother she has never met.

A food shop in the city center.

Just as she happily thinks she's finally going to live the dream, relying on her family, cuddling cats, running a shop, and flirting with handsome guys...

[The Interdimensional Shop Management System has been activated. At midnight tonight, you will be transported to the first alternate plane. Host, please prepare in advance.]

*

First plane: Cultivation plane, Land of Exile

A food shop suddenly opens on the edge of the Forest of Chaos, with a shopkeeper who is an ordinary human without a shred of cultivation.

After a thousand years of suffering from spiritual energy pollution, the demon clansmen emerge, refreshed and cleaning their teeth.

-Five-star review: The feeling of being cured of spiritual energy pollution is amazing, but it's too intense. It almost sucked all my spiritual power dry!

Top comment: Friend, are you sure you went to a food shop?

Second plane: Interstellar plane, City of Sin

Imperial Daily: As of today, the Infinite Food City on Planet 999 has become the empire's top taxpayer. Its owner, Ms. Jiang Moli, has become the richest person in the empire.

Top comment: I'll wait for you to retract that and apologize. Imperial Daily must have gotten the wrong planet!

What's Planet 999?

Planet 999, also known as Sin Planet, is a lawless world teeming with pirate gangs, wanted criminals, imperial death-row inmates, and patients with fatal mental-energy disorders.

How could a food city possibly operate normally in such an environment? And how could it be the empire's top taxpayer?

Everyone curiously opens Infinite Food City's online shop on the Star Network.

Top review: I felt so good I shouted in front of my boss. Having my mental sea healed feels amazing, though there are some side effects. My boss is looking at me funny now.

Top comment: Quick question: is this really a food city?

Third plane, fourth plane...

*

Jiang Moli thought she was merely a visitor passing through each plane, but in the end, she became each plane's salvation.

Not just the planes, but him, too.

"Being the greatest in the cultivation world was nothing more than the traces I left behind while searching for you."

Before you start:

1. Plot-driven, with food, shop management, and many supporting characters.

2. Includes a male lead with multiple fragments of himself, and a love-triangle rivalry involving several personalities existing at the same time.

3. The heroine is the top and the male lead is the bottom. The male lead is the strongest in every plane!

4. I'm a new writer who writes by inspiration, so the quality may vary from chapter to chapter. Please buy chapter by chapter. If it's not your thing, feel free to stop reading, but please don't tell me you're dropping it.

Coming soon: Utopia in the Apocalypse [Settlement Building]

[Fourth-dimensional players + post-apocalyptic disaster survival and settlement building]

Newbie question: Is Lord Ye Chichi a player or an NPC?

The Huanyu Empire, the leader in interstellar technology, develops a full-immersion apocalypse survival game based on ancient Blue Star, codenamed Dawn.

It becomes a nationwide sensation as soon as it launches, attracting billions of players and countless gaming studios.

"Is Dawn really a game? The NPCs in here are so realistic. I helped her clean yesterday, and she still recognized me today."

"Exactly! Especially Lord Ye Chichi. She even knew I was getting married today and wished me a happy wedding!"

*

What they don't know is this:

For them, Dawn is an immersive survival game. For the people inside, it is an actual apocalypse.

An apocalypse suddenly descends upon Blue Star, and everyone is pulled into a data world filled with danger, natural disasters, and monsters.

*

After dying, Ye Chichi, an all-around powerhouse who survived ten years in the apocalypse, is reborn before it all begins. By chance, she obtains the Dawn game System.

"Congratulations, Player Ye Chichi, you have gained the status of Lord. Lead your people to survive the coming one-star disaster!"

Insect plagues, ground spikes, fire raining from the sky, and waves of sea creatures contaminated by pollution are on their way!

In the boundless apocalypse, where disasters run rampant, billions of visitors from beyond the heavens suddenly appear.

Old people and children who have lost their family providers struggle to survive in the apocalypse.

"Today's daily quest is to help vulnerable groups clean their homes. Hurry and grab it, or you'll miss out!"

An endless swarm of insects surrounds the settlement, and no one dares go outside. Life grows harder by the day.

"Raid unlocked! Let's exterminate the insectoids! Thirty-person party, we've got a leader. Looking for players who know what they're doing!"

The weather system goes haywire, alternating between extreme heat and cold. Food production plummets, and the people are on the verge of starvation.

"Don't panic! Check out the heated brick beds of the northeast, check out Antarctic ice houses, and check out the ten years' worth of food Lord Ye Chichi has stocked up for the entire settlement!"

Stock up on grain, keep a pretty wife...

No, wait. Stock up on grain, build high walls, and create a utopia in the apocalypse.

The Huanyu Empire always thought it was just playing an apocalypse survival game, until one day Dawn suddenly announced: Congratulations, everyone, you've successfully survived the apocalypse. Ancient Blue Star is now online!

Before you start:

1. Max-level player heroine returns to the beginner's village x humanoid mech, with an elegant exterior and a goofy side, whose combat power is off the charts.

2. The heroine's perspective focuses on settlement building, while the male lead's perspective is that of someone playing a game.

Theme: The greater your power, the greater your responsibility.
