In the Wasteland, My Farm Spans Ten Thousand Acres [Gourmet]

Bad news: After dying suddenly, I transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic battle game I'd played.

Good news: I started with a "small" manor covering over a thousand mu.

Bad news: The manor was completely dilapidated and overgrown, virtually worthless, and I still had to pay property taxes every month.

Good news: I activated a great System that cared about agriculture and encouraged its Host to develop farming and related industries.

Qiao Qingqing began putting down roots in this world. She farmed, fed dogs, and opened a Qiao Family Restaurant.

But why were the prices set by this System so outrageous? 648 for a cup of soy milk and 1,688 for a vegetable salad?

Qiao Qingqing: "You... Wait, am I the profiteer?!"

Yet in an era when synthetic food, nutrient solutions, and supplements were all the rage, naturally grown, non-synthetic ingredients were already exorbitantly expensive. Egg-stuffed pancakes and tofu pudding, once affordable breakfast staples, had become the new cyberpunk status symbols of the rich. 648, 1,688, 1,988: customers paid without hesitation, and Qiao Qingqing went from criticizing herself to grinning from ear to ear. At last, she became a viral restaurant owner!

With dishes worth a fortune each, her business took the world by storm. Her one-of-a-kind quality and vast product range made Qiao Qingqing wildly popular. She expanded her farm to a newly terraformed planet and reached the pinnacle of her career, farming millions of mu and growing filthy rich.

She had only wanted a laid-back life, yet went viral online and became the interdimensional Qiao Ziqi.

"This woman is cooking again! I'm going to climb over her wall and beg her to feed me!"

"Keep dreaming, person above me. But Qiao Qiao, I'm your long-lost best friend. Give me one bite, please, just one!"

"Miss Qiao, do you cater banquets? Our budget is eight million."

"When will Qiao Family Restaurant open near me? I'm going to work on a new planet in the second half of the year. Will I get to eat your cooking before I leave?"

"Asking again today: When will lion's head fish, bamboo shoots braised in oil, 'Winter's End, Spring's Arrival' rice, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall be added to the menu? The blogger is neglecting her work every day, cooking for herself and making us watch. That's just cruel! I won't forgive you unless you invite me to eat your food, pet your dogs, and sleep in your guest room!"

The whole planet kept pestering Qiao Qingqing for new videos, stores, and supermarkets. So she quickly launched new products: ready-to-cook meal kits with all the ingredients prepared and detailed recipes included, guaranteed to be easy for families to make. Come on, everyone can cook for themselves! Affordable, even cheap, dishes made their way into homes everywhere. Vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy, mushrooms: the supply chain gradually expanded. Freeze-dried fruit, canned goods, processed foods, sugar: Qiao Qingqing's ambitions knew no bounds.

She established a culinary school, hired workers from the slums, sponsored children who had dropped out of school, and provided free lunches. Qiao Qingqing never thought she could only be a profiteer.

But why was Qiao Family Restaurant still packed with customers?

The System: "Qiao Qiao, your destiny is to conquer the stomachs of every living creature among the stars and seas! Keep it up!"
