A Gastronomic Empire Among the Stars

On the Beast Star live-streaming platform, a six-year-old boy suddenly appears as a host, leading a baby panda, a white tiger cub, a little owl, and a gluttonous big black dog, farming crops, raising livestock, and building mills on a desolate, uninhabited planet—occasionally even singing, playing music, or storytelling. Audience: "Inefficient food, meaningless music, worthless stories. Beast Star people value efficiency and practicality—no one would watch such boring things." Jun Tao: "Thanks for tuning in on time! Today's viewership has hit a new record!" Audience: "..." Audience: "Money should be spent wisely. Who would donate to a kid's make-believe game?" Jun Tao: "Thanks for the donations! Now we can unlock the next-level farmland!" Audience: "..." Audience: My hands won’t listen to my brain! Something must be wrong with me! ———————— One day, the little fluffballs and the guard dog in the live stream transform back into humans. The audience is shocked. #The fertile farmland in the stream was actually a cursed wasteland sealing the source of the Heartless Virus infection?# #The fluffy pets were actually the commanders of the three elite units who sacrificed themselves in a calamity?# #Most importantly, that gluttonous black dog who always fought for food with the cute pets is actually our emperor?! Does Beast Star still have a future?#

Ming You crossed over with a spirit beast cultivation system but spent nineteen years never seeing a "spirit beast" with stat panels—until he took a job at a rundown animal sanatorium. Holding a black big cat, Ming You burst into tears: "Exhausted spirit energy, chaotic abilities, malnutrition, multiple old injuries?! Who abused you so cruelly?! Be my partner, okay? I’ll take care of you and never let you suffer again!" Imperial Prince·Former Marshal·Stellar Hero·Shadow Lion-Tiger·Arthur Breck: "Is this guy out of his mind?" —————— Through livestreaming his pet-raising journey, Ming You sold countless spirit beast supplements and became the wealthiest man in the galaxy. One day, the Emperor urged his healed younger brother to return to military duty. Arthur the cat rolled over lazily in his custom-made, million-dollar cat bed: "As the pet of the galaxy’s richest man, I can live just by acting cute. Why work?" His former subordinates—now fluffy beasts—nodded enthusiastically in agreement: "Exactly!" —————— Ming You later learned that the near-death beasts he'd been raising were once stellar heroes who fought valorously against the Zerg. The war was over, peace restored, and the heroes retired to their fluffy dens.

A poverty-alleviation story in another world.While other shamans worship gods and offer sacrifices to their ancestors, Su Chen, this sham of a shaman who neglects his proper duties, is busy climbing the technology tree.

No one knew why Xiao Gou, later recognized as a pioneer and leader in gaming innovation, had so many astonishing inspirations. Xiao Gou: Because I’m a time-traveler with a system.

System: Main Quest – Revitalize China's Literary Heritage and Restore Proper Historical Perspectives. Xiao Yue tucks his fluffy paws snugly: Are you making things difficult for this fat cat?! System: First Task – Become a Calligrapher. Xiao Yue clumsily grips a brush with his pink pads: You're REALLY making things difficult for this fat cat!! Damn heavens, are you messing with me?!
