Start with delicious food

……

"Here it comes! Finally here! Ladies and gentlemen!"

"For the 50th Food Festival, the list of sixteen chefs who will advance to the top 16 finals has been officially decided after discussion by the G7 judges!"

"Let us congratulate these sixteen qualified contestants! Who among them can finally win the title of this year's Super Chef and gain the supreme honor of the world's best cook!"

“It’s really exciting!”

"At the same time, let us also thank those chefs who did not make the cut and thank them for their contribution to this food festival."

"I look forward to your performance in the next food festival! And I wish you all better results!"

"Okay, now the promotion list is officially announced. Chefs, please watch the big screen!"

As Chest Hair's words fell, everyone looked at the big screen.

Not surprisingly, Qin Hao found himself on it at a glance. Then I saw Yukihira Soma and Si Yingshi.

Seeing their profile pictures, Qin Hao had a faint smile on his face.

"Soma Yukihira and Si Yingshi... it was indeed the right choice to bring them to the world of gourmet food. Such talents are really wasted in the ordinary world."

Later, Qin Hao discovered Xiao Song among the portraits of the cooks.

As a true heroine in the food world, Qin Hao expected Xiaosong to be selected.

Looking at Xiaosong who was nervous and surprised to the point of being incoherent, Qin Hao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, Komatsu."

"Being able to reach this point means that you have surpassed 99.99% of the cooks in the world. You have to have more confidence in yourself."

"Mr. Qin Hao! I..."

Before Xiaosong could say anything, the sound of chest hair came over the radio again.

"The 16 groups that advance to the quarter-finals are——"

"First round, Qin Hao vs Zeus!"

"Second round, Gopley vs. Damara XIII!"

"Third round, Komatsu vs. Yukihira Soma!"

"The fourth round, Ling Chun vs. Si Yingshi!"

"The fifth round..."

……

"Eighth round, Setsuno vs. Kuraraman!"

As the grouping ended, the audience burst into warm cheers.

In the audience, looking at the details of the grouping, Alu's lips raised with a proud smile.

"Haha~ Is it Teacher Qin Hao in the first round? It seems that this round of competition will be very fierce."

"And Komatsu, we actually faced off against Yukihira Soma! We must win! Komatsu! You are the best!"

"The next game looks to be very intense. Speaking of which, Sani, you and Si Yingshi formed a temporary partnership for a period of time, right?" Coco asked.

Sani put one hand on his forehead. "Forget it, I give that guy 100 thumbs up for his cooking. But his character..."

"Although I am a food hunter, I also have my own requirements for food. But when it comes to this aspect, that guy is as stubborn as a donkey."

"Anyway, his personality and I don't get along."

"It's okay to form a temporary team, but if it's a long-term partnership... ugh~ why does such a good cook like Komatsu end up with a guy like Aru?"

"Hey! What do you mean by this guy Alu!" Alu shouted with an unhappy look on his face.

Sani waved his hand. "Isn't it right? The benefit of Xiaosong and you forming a partnership is probably only one percent, right?"

"Ah!? Damn it! How is that possible! I'm very powerful!" Alu retorted.

Coco on the side also said. "One percent is too much, Sani."

"I estimate there should be a 20% benefit."

"Why is it only 20%?"

"Ah, to be precise, it should be 22.2% better."

"Isn't this different!"

At this time, Zebra suddenly snorted and said.

"Hmph~ It's right for that guy Song to form a partnership with me. At least there will be 100% benefits."

"You are the only one who has no right to say this, Zebra!" x3

Alu, Sani and Coco said in unison.

……

Soon, halftime was over.

Chest Hair raised the microphone in his hand and shouted excitedly.

"It's finally about to begin! The first round of the knockout rounds of the Food Festival!"

"Chef Qin Hao vs. Chef Zeus!"

"On one side is Chef Zeus, who has won the championship more than ten times in the past, and on the other side is Chef Qin Hao, who has extremely strong strength and his cooking skills are always mysterious!"

“It was such an exciting match from the very beginning!

"Who will win this round!"

"By the way, the TV ratings of the food festival have reached 99.99% so far!"

"Okay, without further ado, let's let the recent judges select the competition items for this round of competition!"

As Chest Hair's words fell, Zeus turned to look at Qin Hao.

"It's great that you are my opponent, Mr. Qin Hao."

"It has always been a regret in my heart that I couldn't compete with you in the cooking showdown at the last food festival."

"This time, I will fight you with all my strength."

Qin Hao smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, me too, Zeus."

"I'm quite interested in the title of the world's best cook."

……

"Okay! Dear audience friends!"

"The competition items for this round of knockout rounds have been decided!"

"That's it, the Dark Cuisine Showdown!"

As Chest Hair's voice fell, the mechanism in the center of the field started again.

After a while, a huge building rose from the ground. It looked like a circus tent, with huge knives and forks inserted on the left and right sides and a large coded word written in the middle.

"I will announce the rules of the game next."

"Chef Qin Hao and Chef Zeus must be in a dark environment where they can't see their fingers."

"Rely on your own sense of smell, intuition, and past cooking experience to cook all the ingredients scattered in the tent."

"In addition, there are all kinds of very, very unpalatable ingredients mixed in the dark tent, as well as many special cooking ingredients that require special processing."

"So, if you make one wrong step in the cooking process, everything will be lost!"

"By the way, in order to ensure that the entire game is played in the dark, the only heating tool inside is the induction cooker."

"So the control of heat can only rely on the cook's intuition."

After listening to the rules explained by Chest Hair, Qin Hao showed a winning smile on his face.

Total darkness? Ha~ It doesn't exist.

Not to mention that Qin Hao's eyesight is fully capable of seeing in the dark. Just a hint of domineering power is enough for Qin Hao to 'see clearly' everything around him.
