MTL - I am a Chef in the Modern Era - Chapter 76 Salted chicken

Lieutenant Jack Fritz is a self centered American man of German descent. He like many joined the United States Navy in hopes of getting an easy life and easy money. In fact getting money and taking it easy is all he has ever really wished for in life.However life seems to have other plans in-store for Jack as he suddenly finds himself at the beginning of World War 3. Though his fight does not last for long as he is suddenly blown to bits by a missile and sent into the afterlife, but instead of going to heaven Jack is dragged to another place where he is given another chance at life by some fiery demon for a price.Having been given no other chance Jack does as the demon says and earns himself life again. Though he doesn't return to his original world, but a medieval one. With no guidance and no higher purpose given to him he simply decides to do the best that he can within this new world of his. This time he will for sure earn that perfect life of his and possibly a lot more.But little does Jack know his fate is not his own and there are many sinister things in-store for him. Also the world he finds himself in is not a safe or simple medieval world, but one beset by dangers from all sides that are already little by little driving humanity towards its extinction.

The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die.Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate.Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she?———————————————————————————————I am trying to go with a survival/“no modern tech” setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on what the world provides where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic.It turns more political between the various clans later on.

Thirty-six [sequences] rule the world, and the creatures who hold the [sequences] can move mountains, cut rivers, cover the sun with one eye, and enter dreams for thousands of years.

There are heroic wine immortals who master the [Wine Sequence] and walk freely, there are court princes who understand the [Law Sequence] to formulate laws, there are [Tao Sequence] Taoist priests in the mountains, there are [Gu Sequence] wild Gu masters, there are [Gu Sequence] Love Sequence] the stunner and beauty.

Waking up from a dream, for Chen Yuyan, the rivers and lakes are no longer the rivers and lakes in the game “Strange Rivers and Lakes”, but the real world that is vividly presented before him.

In order to survive, in order to get rid of the gaze of the “fairy god”, Chen Yuyan had to step into the rivers and lakes, facing conspiracy, swords, swords and shadows, and ulterior motives.
