食物语 ShiWuYu ~ Guide – Part 1: Basic Game Mechanics
食物语 (ShiWuYu) means Tale of Food, and as the name tells the story of Food Spirits that incarnated as humans from the love of people enjoying their respective cuisine dish. In particular, the story is set in 空桑 [KongSang], which is a Food Heaven for all Food Spirits and people, existing in a supernatural realm unaffected by our timeline. I would compare KongSang to the police box that Doctor Who travels in, but bigger in space and has a fixed location unlike the police box.
This guide is based off the Singapore-Malaysia edition, known as 新马版 [XinMaBan] launched in May 27th 2020. There are two other existing editions: Mainland China edition, 陆版 [LuBan], and Taiwan edition, 台版 [TaiBan]. By the release of this post, the Japanese edition 日版 [RiBan] is also out. Because the Mainland China edition is the founding edition of ShiWuYu, all other editions follow the timeline released in subsequent order by the founding edition, with exception of the time period it takes between events for other editions.
Many players, unlike me, have been playing the Mainland China and Taiwan editions long before the launch of the Singapore-Malaysia edition. This means that they already have a strategic approach in playing the game effectively. Some of them have been kind enough to compile a list of game strategies referred as 攻略 [GongLue] for the rest of us newbies who knew the game from its pre-launch ads. Sadly all of the strategies have only been available in Chinese, so an international player with little to no grasp of the language will struggle. I know how it feels as I've played Touken Ranbu, a Japanese game that I could only enjoy because of kind-hearted translators.
Unlike Touken Ranbu, however, ShiWuYu has more depth in terms of story-telling and its events that also come with stories of their own. This guide will be divided into 2 parts: 1) 1st half of the basic game mechanics, and 2) 2nd half of the basic game mechanics and review of the game. I have provided the pinyin of the Chinese characters should you decide to search up ShiWuYu strategies with those key words.

The game also records the player's current progress in main storyline 主线进度 [ZhuXianJinDu] and difficult mode 困难本进度 [KunNanBenJinDu], along with the completion percentage of Food Spirit collection (i.e. 77.9%), which will be change accordingly to release of new Food Spirits. The character with the green banner 支援 [ZhiYuan] is the Food Spirit that will be available for assistance in battles (except PVP and Alliance duels). The other 3 are for display purposes only.
The bottom row shows the badges 微章 [WeiZhang] that you can earn through events, though a few badges are only given out to players who recharge in-game. Players can access the full unlocked badges in the badge wall 微章墙 [WeiZhangQiang].

The date on the bottom right displays when the player first started playing 就任日期 [JiuRenRiQi]. May 27th is the opening date of the Singapore-Malaysia edition, so I started playing the same time as when the edition first launched.
ACTIVITY
Do note that this is different from the Announcements seen at the login page! Here's how the Announcements look like:
The Announcements usually covers details of upcoming events and scheduled maintenance as a heads up for players. Some key words to look out for: Maintenance 维护 [WeiHu], Offline period (due to maintenance) 更新时间 [GengXinShiJian], Event 活动 [HuoDong].
Below is how the in-game Activity board looks like:
Under Activity Centre 活动中心 [HuoDongZhongXin]:-
- KongSang Treasury 空桑钱庄 [KongSangQianZhuang] – Marked with the orange banner stating Worth It 超值 [ChaoZhi], players can get certain amount of Golden Jade immediately and per player level from recharging in-game

You can attempt all 5 questions even if you made a mistake in between; just that you will not get the reward because of the wrong answer

Key in or paste the gift code into the box, then click the yellow exchange button 礼包兑换 [LiBaoDuiHuan] to receive the gift.
For Safety Lock 安全锁 [AnQuanSuo]:
This is a safety feature that the game has designed for players to prevent accidents. The password is numeric and requires 6 digits. In particular the game will prompt the player to input the password for:
- Food Spirits – such as the dismantling of SSR Food Spirits, Evolving Food Spirits using 调料 [DiaoLiao] or the same Food Spirits, and dismantling for full-star Food Spirits
- Tableware – such as the dismantling, strengthening or evolving SR and SSR tablewares
Do note that there will be a 1-hour cool down period if the wrong password is used for the first 3 attempts. Of course players can opt not to use passwords by making sure the password lock 二级密码 [ErJiMiMa] is at off 关 [Guan] instead of open 开 [Kai], but I strongly recommend using the password in the event of an unwanted accident occurs.
SHOP
For Clothing 时装 [ShiZhuang]:
Here is where you can buy new clothing or skins for characters, using the clothing tickets 时装卷 [ShiZhuangJuan]. You can directly purchase the tickets on the corresponding tab. Releases accompanying events may have limited-time discounts so keep an eye out when new event starts!
For Exchange 兑换 [DuiHuan]:
- Friendship 友情 [YouQing] – (Top Left) uses Friendship points 友情点 [YouQingDian] (or the equivalent in Golden Jade); Avatar 头像 [TouXiang], Avatar frame 头像框 [TouXiangKuang], Background (for Name Card) 背景 [BeiJing]
- Alliance 协会 [XieHui] – (Top Right) uses Alliance Contribution medals 协会贡献 [XieHuiGongXian] obtained by completing Alliance Activities; Shop 商店 [ShangDian], Benefits 福利 [FuLi] which players can only claim Shell Money once a week, while the other items can only be accessed and released by leader and vice leader of the alliance
- Cook-off 厨艺 [ChuYi] – (Bottom Left) uses Peaches 蟠桃 [PanTao] obtained from Cook-off

Some items have limited quantities, and these items will be marked 每周限购 [MeiZhouXianGou] with the total purchasable quantities per week. Highly in demand are DiaoLiao Tokens 调料信物 [DiaoLiaoXinWu], SR Tableware box 膳具盒●珍 [ShanJuHe Zhen], SR Glazed Stone 釉石●珍 [YouShi Zhen], Clothing tickets 时装卷 [ShiZhuangJuan]
For General Store 杂货 [ZaHuo]:

The in-game chat sticker is a one-time purchase 永久限购 [YongJiuXianGou] that will be unlocked permanently once bought.
- Spirit Jade 魂玉 [HunYu] – obtained from dismantling Food Spirits; this is the only outlet players have the opportunity to purchase a complete DiaoLiao 调料, so keep saving them Spirit Jades!
- Tableware 膳具 [ShanJu] – tableware shards can be obtained from dismantling SR and SSR tablewares
For Monthly Card 月俸 [YueFeng]:
A VIP system where players pay $4.99 monthly for: 300 Golden Jade (upon purchase), 100 Golden Jade daily for 30 days, Double sign-in rewards, +1 chance of Food Spirits Search, +30 extended Energy limit, Monthly Card limited Avatar frame (lasts 30 days), and 20% discount off Golden Jade on 10 times summon once a week.
For Bargain Pack 礼包 [LiBao]:
Bargain Packs are divided into: Beginners (1 time only for life) 新手 [XinShou], Event 活动 [HuoDong], Limited time 限时 [XianShi], and Worth it 超值 [ChaoZhi] packs. Each pack comes with assorted items, so best to compare to see which pack is affordable (for your wallet's sake) yet worth it for its price.
For Direct Purchase 直购 [ZhiGou]:
If players want to purchase only Golden Jade, this outlet is the best option. However I would recommend that you check out the Bargain Packs because most times they are more worth it.
COURTYARD
Going anticlockwise, there are 7 key features in the Courtyard. Note that the background in this picture is event-themed and is different from the usual background.
1. Expedition 异域探索 [YiYueTanSuo]:
There are 6 types of expedition, with each giving different bonus rewards upon the team's return: 轮回井 [LunHuiJing], 广寒月宫 [GuangHanYueGong], 桃花源 [TaoHuaYuan], 蓬莱仙岛 [PengLaiXianDao], 瀛洲 [YingZhou], 昆仑虚 [KunLunXu]. Note that the orange orb reads experience 经验 [JingYan], where the chosen 4 Food Spirits will gain experience upon returning from the expedition.
By choosing the recommending Food Spirits 推荐食魂 [TuiJianShiHun], players can get more rewards. You can choose the duration of the expedition from: Half an hour 半小时 [BanXiaoShi], 2 hours 2小时 [2XiaoShi], 4 hours 4小时 [4XiaoShi], or up to 8 hours 8小时 [8XiaoShi]. The 昆仑虚 [KunLunXu] is the only expedition that is fixed at 8 hours and requires 80 energy, while the other expeditions embark with no energy requirement.
2. Food Spirit Search 梅影寻踪 [MeiYingXunZong]:
Players have 3 chances daily to search for Food Spirits, with each Food Spirit can only be found once per day. When the task is successfully completed, affection points and the corresponding Food Spirit tokens will be awarded.
3. The Study 书房 [ShuFang]:
Inventory 珍宝阁 [ZhenBaoGe], Player outfit 装扮 [ZhuangBan], Phone messages 通讯 [TongXun]. The inventory stores items collected from all events, and has 4 compartments for players to sort the items as they wish: 天字柜 [TianZiJu], 地字柜 [DiZiJu], 玄字柜 [XuanZiJu], 黄字柜 [HuangZiJu]. New player outfits can only be obtained by in-game recharge. Read messages sent by Food Spirits in your (in-game) phone, where you can get rewards upon the conclusion of a conversation thread.
4. Home 家园 [JiaYuan]:
You can edit the name of the room with the brush symbol on the top centre, and share 分享 [FenXiang] to get 20 Golden Jade. Players can visit 参观 [CanGuan] each other either randomly 随机参观 [SuiJiCanGuan] or specific players 访问 [FangWen] to send likes 点赞 [DianZan], and then moving to another home 参观下家 [CanGuanXiaJia].
To get new furnitures, visit the furniture shop 巧圣阁 [QiaoShengGe] and draw using the Heaven Craft stones 天公石 [TianGongShi]. You can expand your room by adding a new floor 换层 [HuanCeng] or by expanding horizontally 扩容 [KuoRong]. To decorate or sell unwanted furnitures, select 管理 [GuanLi]. The sell 贩卖 [FanMai] is marked red, while the save 保存方案 [BaoCunFangAn] is marked blue.
Players can also set up to 4 of their favourite Food Spirits, where you can also check their schedule to see what they get up to during the day. A unique feature is that you can steam rabbit buns 蒸兔包 [ZhengTuBao] in your home using the grain orbs 存粮 [CunLiang] earned from battles. Increasing the comfortability rate 舒适度 [ShuShiDu] will increase the success rate of steaming more medium buns instead of small rabbit buns.
5. Farm 农场 [NongChang]:
You can assign Food Spirits that give extra boost on harvesting different crops, and upgrade crops using the Farm Toolbox 农用工具 [NongYongGongJu]. Food Spirits that give extra boost are marked with the shiny banner 加成 [JiaCheng].
6. Kitchen 厨房 [ChuFang]:
Like in the Farm, assigning Food Spirits that will decrease time spent on cooking dishes using crops harvested from the Farm. Each dish have 3 stages: Decrease time taken to cook, increase selling price, and finally unlocking new dish. While cooking you can use Speed-up Cooking Oil 加速食用油 [JiaSuShiYongYou] to reduce the time taken (1 bottle = reduction of 5 minutes), or abandon the queue 撤销烹饪 [CheXiaoPengRen].
You can manually collect each completed dish by selecting the dish appeared at the bottom or press 取餐 [QuCan] to collect all ready dishes. For full list of dishes and cooking instructions (actual real-life cooking instructions for players who want to recreate the dish!), click on the recipe 食谱 [ShiPu] button. Else, from here you can directly enter the Restaurant 餐厅 [CanTing].
7. Restaurant 餐厅 [CanTing]:
Players will receive multiple banquet orders 宴会订单 [YanHuiDingDan] throughout the day, and only 3 temple fair orders 庙会订单 [MiaoHuiDingDan] a week. Complete the orders to get rewards before time's up. You can serve dishes to customer using the Menu 菜单 [CaiDan], and check on your total number of dishes in the Storage 仓库 [CangKu]. LuWu 陆吾 will sometimes spill some juicy conversations he'd overheard from customers, which are unlocked when you serve dishes that customers want.
Need more Shell Money? Start a Crowd Frenzy 客潮 [KeChao] by handing out a Restaurant flyer 餐馆传单 [CanGuanChuanDan]. The frenzy lasts for 1 minute, and will use up any dishes available in the storage (excluding those set on the menu). The Crowd Frenzy not only drops double Shell Money, but also Food Spirit Tokens – even those that the players don't have in their KongSang. Keep an eye out for the Fortune God (guy in red) as he will always drop SSR Food Spirit Tokens. Unlike dishes being automatically served as long as they are on the menu, in Crowd Frenzy players will have to personally attend to customers by clicking on the food order above their head.

CHARACTER
Here is where you can view more information about the Food Spirits in your KongSang. Using DongBiLongZhu 东璧龙珠 as example, next to his name is the name of his voice actor 吴磊 [WuLei]. Players can designate their favourite Food Spirit as the butler on the Main page 当前管家 [DangQianGuanJia], where you can tap on them to see their reaction depending where you touch them.
Players can leave comments in the comment box 评论 [PingLun]. This is also where you can find the suitable medicinal bath and favourite gift of the respective Food Spirit. You can change character skin in 时装 [ShiZhuang], which includes skin bought from the Clothing store and even evolved skins. To find the full list of Food Spirits, check 角色列表 [JueSeLieBiao].
The current affection level of DongBiLongZhu 东璧龙珠 is level 3 (i.e. 3 in the heart on the right of the Food Spirit), with the current affection gauge below the heart. The maximum affection level is 15, which most players target to achieve as you can unlock the Food Spirit's voiced confession at the final level.
Gifting 赠礼 [ZengLi] – (Top Left) Each Food Spirit have their favourite gifts, with Food Spirit-related gifts having a SR background while basic gifts had a grey background. You can check what is their favourite gift in the comment box; after gifting their favourite gift for the first time, the subsequent times when their favourite gift is in your possession it will be marked bright pink on the top left corner of the gift. To give multiple gifts at once to the same Food Spirit, select the desired gift and hold the gift button 赠送 [ZengSong]; else if it's just 1 item, just pressing once will do.
Voice messages 语音 [YuYin] – (Top Right) Unlock voice messages by reaching the required affection level with each Food Spirit. Food Spirits from different era speak differently; like YangZhiGanLu 杨枝甘露 (a HongKong-originated dessert) is voiced in Cantonese, while DongBiLongZhu 东璧龙珠 (China-originated dish) is voiced in Chinese.
Information 资料 [ZiLiao] – (Bottom Left) Food Spirit information will be unlocked as you reach the required affection level. Usually the information is a mix of actual history of the dish and the fictional Food Spirit background.
Story 故事 [GuShi] – (Bottom Right) Read the Food Spirit's character story and discover more to what you thought you knew. A 3-part story that will be unlocked as the affection level increases.
The 2nd part of this series we will complete the asterisked lines in Section 3 and 4. The actual review will also be in the 2nd part, so stay tune!
See you all in the next post!
