The Paranormal Is Back? Don't Interrupt My Cooking

[Looking forward to your ratings! Preorders: My Blind Box Business Revives the Gods of Huaxia and The World's First Cultivation Tech Company. Please add them to your reading lists!] Ferocious beasts return, flying corpses appear, flesh-and-blood Buddhas, bone immortals... After transmigrating to a world ravaged by supernatural horrors with her ancestral restaurant, Ye Ping'an opens the door without batting an eye. "Grand opening special, everyone is welcome... Hey, you over there cosplaying an octopus monster! Pay if you're eating. If you're not, stop blocking the door!" At first, everyone thinks it's just an ordinary restaurant. Until... A former customer, trapped in the domain of the Hundred-Eyed Ghost and on the brink of despair, sees the owner shuffle over in her slippers. "I was wondering why you hadn't been by lately. Come on, let's go. How can you leave without eating?" Customer: ??? . Investigators, breaking down after being swallowed into the Heart-Eater's lair, watch Ye Ping'an carry takeout through the blood mist. "You people have such strange tastes. Why do you like eating here? It's filthy and stinks, and this place is so hard to find... Ahem. That'll be 100 for the meal and 1,000 for delivery. First order for new customers gets 1% off! Scan to pay or cash? Please come again!" Investigators: ??? . At the scene of a supernatural outbreak, Ye Ping'an leans enthusiastically out of her grocery-delivery van and points at the supernatural creature. "How come you never come eat at my restaurant? Oh, by the way, do you want this thing? My restaurant could use a cleaner." Supernatural creature: ??? . The investigators stare at the former A-rank supernatural creature, now a rag beneath Ye Ping'an's feet, and swallow nervously. "...Where did a big shot like you come from?" Ye Ping'an: "Flattery won't get you a free meal next time! I'm just an ordinary restaurant owner running a small business. Prices are clearly marked, and I don't do credit!" Survivors, investigators, and ghosts: ??? Say 'ordinary' one more time! That supernatural creature behind you, with its bruised and swollen face, is about to cry! - Bonus scene: At some point, a mysterious photograph began circulating in Jiang City. Everyone who had narrowly escaped death kept one to worship, while the supernatural creatures each kept a copy to warn one another not to cross her path. They say you'll either lose your money or your life if you run into her. Tu Shan Sui, who had only recently awakened, saw the person in the photo, and his tail started hurting again. That awful woman had grabbed his tail, then complained that its split end wasn't as pretty as other foxes' tails! Had she never even seen a nine-tailed fox's tails? Hmph, mortal! A fox's tail is only for his future wife to touch! No amount of money will change that!! If you've touched it, you're his, and you can't flirt around and touch other foxes!!! And let me say this again: I, the Fox Immortal, am not a ferocious beast. I'm a bringer of good fortune! A bringer of good fortune!! I don't suck out people's life force, so stop that!!! [Money-loving, overpowered restaurant owner Ye Ping'an x silly fox spirit Tu Shan Sui] Reader advisory: It's a horror world, but once the powerful female lead arrives, it becomes mildly scary and mostly ridiculous. The general tone is just like the blurb. The pairing is set, but romance takes a back seat to the main plot. - Completed works: survival and settlement building in Starting with a Wooden Raft; magical plant farming in I Returned to the Modern Era to Grow Spirit Plants, and They Took the World by Storm; gacha management in My Gacha Pulls Got Me the First Resort Island; metaphysical cuisine in Yin-Yang Midnight Snack Shop, and more. - Preorder: My Blind Box Business Revives the Gods of Huaxia Good news: the new Little God of Wealth, Ye Mingtao, has taken office. Bad news: she took office in the wrong world. This world has lost its history and has no faith, leaving her powers weak. Meanwhile, alien beasts and enemies from the cosmos are eyeing it hungrily. ...No problem! Ye Mingtao sets out her Treasure-Gathering Basin and starts selling divine blind boxes: People with nowhere left to turn, what would you offer in exchange for a chance to survive? Wealth, luck, knowledge... If you have it, and if you want it, it's yours to offer. The God of Wealth observes no taboos. Anything is possible. - At first, when people hear someone is selling divine blind boxes, supposedly offering a chance to gain supernatural abilities, they all laugh and call it wishful thinking. Until... An astral beast storms into a residential district, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven appears out of nowhere, killing it with one blow. When they ask about it, they learn the lifesaving treasure came from the Great Sage blind box... in the form of a single monkey hair. After one battle, the whole world goes crazy: [Superpowers! Divine blessings! Aaaah, let me pull a blind box!] [I've finally saved up for ten pulls. Please, please give me a guaranteed prize. The Nuwa banner has no Lady Nuwa, so I'll take the iron-headed kid holding snakes in both hands, or even Mount Buzhou!] [By the way, my little carp has already become a fish spirit. Where should I go to leap through the Dragon Gate and evolve into a dragon? The person above really does love their little carp. I hear the evolution route is hard and expensive. Is it true that rich people rely on spending money and poor people rely on luck?] [Help, help! My Mazu statue fell asleep after saving my life! Please tell me what dishes Lady Mazu likes. I want to offer them to her so she'll wake up soon!] [Breaking news! The latest archaeological discovery on our home planet proves that Shennong really existed in ancient times!?] When enemies from beyond the cosmos invade Blue Star, they are all dumbfounded. They thought they were all going to be civilizations at dimensions three, four, five, and six through technology. How did Blue Star become the only one with supernatural powers?! - Preorder: The World's First Cultivation Tech Company Artifact-refining master Ye Shaoguang returns to the modern era. Facing an empty home and the hardships of life, she sighs: "First, let's make a tiny little fortune." An automatic insect trap becomes a blessing for anyone plagued by mosquitoes and bugs. A hairbrush saves countless people from baldness. A good-dream pillow provides restful sleep and relaxation. A full-immersion illusion pod sparks a new gaming craze. Pocket spirit pets keep people company for life. Clothing that automatically regulates temperature and protects its wearer saves lives... The artifact-refining master returns to her old trade, identifies what people need, and brings one miraculous device after another into the world. Netizens scoff: "It's 3030 and people still believe in this overpriced nonsense! Where's your brain?!" Not long after... "Help, why does this actually work?! When will it be restocked? When will it go on sale? My balding head really needs this!!!" "Move aside! I never said anything bad about it, so I'll go first. Please, I just want a good night's sleep!" "Please, get something for the mosquitoes in the south first! I don't want to ride one of those things to work!!!" - One day, an interviewer asks: "The world's number one tech company has burst onto the scene. As its chairwoman and chief inventor, what would you like to say about netizens calling you the 'heir to the Black Tech System'?" Ye Shaoguang: "Oh, I'm actually a cultivator... Perhaps you'd like to learn about all-purpose artifact refinement? Industrial technology uses materials, and artifact refiners use materials too. Why shouldn't an artifact refiner count as a tech expert?" I'll become the artifact refiner closest to technology, the scientist most devoted to cultivation, and the world's strongest and richest person! Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations
