I Raise Beastmen in a Wasteland World

The world is a wasteland (a rebuilt world after an apocalyptic event caused by insurmountable forces like machinery, plague, and disaster). Many settings are original, with the background world being fictional and partially referencing Eastern and Western cultures.

Technology has collapsed, morality has disintegrated, order has crumbled, and productivity has regressed. Resources are extremely scarce. Everyone must merge with fierce beasts to survive, thus birthing beastmen and demi-beastmen who use their beastly forms to resist the encroaching mist. In this world with extremely high pollution levels, every beastman must consume a meal daily to prevent losing their minds to berserker rage.

Qin Yiyi, who possesses the ultimate cooking master skill, has transmigrated to become a pure human, incapable of fighting or carrying burdens. She is destined to be abandoned by the wasteland world as she cannot beastify. At the start, her family abandons her near the Chaotic Territory, making her the lord of a barony. Qin Yiyi looks at the palm-sized village and the boundless wasteland, falling into silence.

So, her originally desired peaceful, retired life is shattered once more? She looks at the food in her hands; the system panel indicates that the food she makes can increase HP, stamina, attack, defense, and speed.

Much later, she leads beastmen to conquer city after city shrouded in mist. Before each siege, she first prepares a large pot of communal food.

Looking at the beastmen before her, their eyes condemning her for shaking hands while serving portions, she is displeased. If she didn't shake, how could everyone get a meal? Besides, she, the dignified grandmaster chef, has now become a cafeteria server; has she complained?!
