After the Top-Tier Star Retires to Cook

Food blogger Mu Fengzao transmigrates into a spacefaring era where people live on nutrient drinks.

Good news: he's become a top-tier star.

Bad news: he can't do any of the things the original owner could.

After drinking nutrient drinks for two meals in a row, he decides to find himself something good to eat. But when he walks into a five-star-rated restaurant, he's stunned.

The food is so bland, without a drop of oil or a grain of salt!

Mu Fengzao can't take it anymore. He swiftly ends his contract, leaves the entertainment industry, and decisively returns to his old profession: food blogger!

So, among all the livestreams cooking ingredients in plain water, a food blogger whose dishes are full of spicy, fragrant, savory flavor suddenly appears.

At first, when Mu Fengzao has just made his account, the bloggers around him scoff. How could a mere little celebrity understand the essence of cooking?

But when he starts livestreaming, they are stunned.

When netizens across the galaxy hear about it:

Their idol left show business just to make this food? This food is amazing!!!

Zaozao, let's make a deal. We've been your fans for years. Could we at least get a taste while it's still hot?

What's more, some netizens accidentally discover that Mu Fengzao's food contains elements that can heal mental power!

After smelling spicy crayfish, a patient whose mental domain was in crisis suddenly starts dancing on the bed and opens their eyes. They woke up because they smelled the food.

After eating one crystal shrimp dumpling, a mental domain that had been deteriorating stops getting worse.

While gathering ingredients, Mu Fengzao happens to pick up a white lion.

The white lion is strange. It doesn't like raw meat and is instead especially fond of the dishes he cooks.

Until one day, Mu Fengzao sees a tall man in his own yard.

The netizens who witness the white lion transform into a man go wild.

Isn't that their general?!!

#You get to eat this well, huh? Let go of Zaozao and let him cook for us!#

Even after turning back into a human, the general doesn't tone it down. He keeps clinging to Mu Fengzao in front of the camera.

Mu Fengzao just assumes he hasn't gotten used to being human again.

The netizens collectively lose it.

[General, you've worked hard fighting the Zerg. Why not go home and rest, and let us eat Zaozao's food?]

[Exactly! General, you've already got everything. Stop fighting us for him. This kid has suffered enough just to get a bite to eat.]

The general refuses: the food is his, and so is the person.

1. Everything in the story serves the food (what?).

2. The main text has lots of chat and comments. Read at your own risk if that bothers you.

3. This is an experiment with a new genre, and the whole story is pretty wild. If it's not for you, stop reading in time.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
