Food Cultivation: My Power Increases With Every Like
NoSandInBeach
Long Jun thought studying for imperial exams was his ticket out of poverty. Then he overheard rats talking in his kitchen at midnight.
Yes, TALKING RATS. They could apparently see his "fortune being stolen" and the "dark, gloomy aura" surrounding him.
But that wasn't even the weird part. After feeding these midnight visitors, Long Jun discovered he'd unlocked the legendary [Food Cauldron Scripture]—a mystical cultivation system where he gained power every time someone complimented his cooking. And boy, did his food deserve compliments! Even plain white porridge suddenly tasted like heaven's nectar.
With one cooking pot, he created all the flavors of the human world.
Simmering mountains and rivers in his cauldron, he cooked the sun and moon.
Long Jun tore apart flood dragon bones and devoured the golden elixirs of Clear Void Daoist elders.
Using the world as his chessboard, he hosted banquets for humans, gods, spirits, and ghosts.
He witnessed clouds stretching thirty thousand li across Kunlun Mountain and heard winds whisper through the twelve-tiered jade palace.
In the imperial city's heavenly pavilion, he shredded magnificent literary works.
He would cook this filthy world clean!
Long Jun needed to collect enough food-praise "likes" to unlock cultivation gates before whoever was stealing his fortune succeeded in ending his life.
Join this reluctant Food God's journey from struggling scholar to supernatural chef, where every "delicious!" brings him closer to survival, every neighbor might be an enemy, and the most honest friends might just be the rats in his kitchen.
