Start with delicious food

At the same time, huge tracks rose up on both sides of the street outside the Food Pot Stadium.

This track extends outward until it surrounds the entire food island.

In a short while, these tracks were closely connected to form a huge winding racing track.

As the track was formed, Qin Hao built barriers around the edge of the track to prevent manned vehicles from accidentally falling off the runway.

However, there are still some relatively safe places where Qin Hao did not set up barriers.

After all, in a racing competition, sometimes you always need a little excitement.

The rules of this competition are that all contestants and their gourmet hunter partners ride in vehicles to race on a designated track.

During the race, a prop box will randomly appear on the track. There is a chance that a prop that can hinder the opponent's vehicle's movement will appear in the prop box.

Or a prop that can significantly increase the speed of your vehicle in a short period of time.

In addition, ingredient cards may appear in these prop boxes.

The purpose of the ingredient card is that after the vehicle crosses the finish line, the contestants can use the card to exchange for the ingredients corresponding to the ingredients on the card to make dishes.

It is worth noting that in this competition, there are only two ways for contestants to obtain ingredients.

The first step is to use the ingredient cards for redemption.

Secondly, after the vehicle crosses the finish line, each contestant will choose one of eight delicious rare ingredients to add to his or her dish based on the order of ranking when reaching the finish line.

Since there are only eight ingredients in total and there are nine groups of contestants, the last one to reach the finish line will not be able to get the rare ingredients.

Besides that, the game lasted only three hours in total.

During these three hours, the contestants not only have to complete a full circle of the island, but also use the ingredients they bring back to make delicious dishes.

In other words, if the contestant deliberately slows down the vehicle's speed to collect more ingredient cards, then he will have less time left to cook the ingredients.

After all, even if you have a lot of food cards, you have to wait until the vehicle crosses the finish line before you can redeem them.

To sum up, the core of this game is not who can cross the finish line the fastest.

Instead, it depends on how the contestants use their time more rationally to collect more ingredients they need and complete the final dish.

As the break ended, everyone selected their own vehicles.

All of these vehicles are the latest transportation-type camping beasts developed by IGO's Food Research Institute.

This type of small camping beasts are basically shaped like cars or motorcycles.

So it doesn’t have the comfortable interior space of a medium or large camping beast.

As the competition was about to begin, all the contestants boarded their respective vehicles and came to the starting point with their food hunter partners.

The vehicle of Erina Nakiri's choice is a supercar sheep.

It looks like a two-seater white sports car with a sheep's head on the front of the car.

The vehicle chosen by Alice Nakiri is the Motorshark.

It looks like a combination of a shark and a motorcycle.

Their partner is still Qin Hao's Mu Fenshen.

The gunshot sounded as the game started.

Except for Soma Yukihira who chose the clockwork squid rocket car for some unknown reason, everyone's vehicles started at almost the same time.

Seeing that the vehicle was getting farther and farther away, Soma Yukihira punched the vehicle.

"Damn it, move!"

The Clockwork Squid Rocket Car showed no signs of moving.

Rengoku Kyojuro, who formed a partnership with Soma Yukihira, pulled out his special flaming long sword that was made by the swordsmiths in the sword-forging village using materials from the gourmet world.

"I'd better grill this motionless squid!"

Soma Yukihira quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait a minute, calm down! If the vehicle is tested, won't we be declared the loser of the competition?"

As if understanding what Rengoku Kyojuro wanted to test him, the Clockwork Squid Rocket Car made a few whistle sounds to attract the attention of the two.

Noticing the small spring at the back of the car, Soma Yukihira was slightly stunned.

"Wait, wait. You mean I have to wind up the spring before you can move forward?" Soma Yukihira asked in surprise as he looked at the clockwork squid rocket car.

The Clockwork Squid Rocket's whistle blew twice more in approval.

As an aquatic creature, the clockwork squid rocket car naturally does not need a clockwork power to move freely when moving in the water.

But when it comes to land, its wheels will not move forward at all if it is not wound up.

"Oh, it looks like there's a little problem with Soma Yukihira."

"Let's turn our attention to the other players."

"The one running in the front right now is the Cooking King Zeus! The vehicle he and his partner are driving is a motorcycle lizard!"

"Following closely behind is Chef Jutta. Wait, what is Chef Jutta doing? He's chopping... the air with a knife?"

Hearing the voice of Chest Hair on the radio, Jutta, who was standing in front of the car and slashing with a kitchen knife, spoke.

"It's not about cutting the air, it's about cooking it. Cooking the air reduces wind resistance, which makes the car go faster."

As the distance between Juta and Zeus grows closer.

We have arrived at the location of the first wave of item refresh points.

Suddenly, a row of boxes with question marks on them appeared in front of the track.

Jutta and Zeus, who were at the front, got the items first.

"Banana peel?"

Looking at the tool in his hand, Zeus was stunned for a moment.

After briefly checking the instructions, I threw the banana peel away.

The next second, the vehicle that Yuta was riding in skidded on the spot.

It turned several times while moving forward, almost throwing Juta, who was standing in front of the car, off.

The speed of the Juta vehicle, which had been tricked, naturally slowed down.

I saw Kaka and others behind me getting the props one by one and surpassing me.

Jutta also picked up the prop he had just obtained, a U-shaped magnet.

As the U-shaped magnet disappeared, the speed of Jutta's vehicle increased instantly.

It was as if there was a towing rope connected to Zeus's vehicle running in the front.

Dragging Yuta's vehicle, he quickly caught up.
