Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

In Linger's description, Liu Maoxing already knew that the Atlantis civilization and the Lemuria civilization were not in an exclusive area as in the legend, but spread all over the world!

It can be said that among the two major civilizations, Atlantis represents the spiritual cooking civilization, while Lemuria represents the material cooking civilization. The global war has lasted for thousands of years...

But the war finally stopped? Liu Maoxing asked tentatively.

That's right, fortunately, there are still a small number of ingredients that have not been affected by the 'Neanderthal curse'... and I guess you don't want to hear that humans themselves will never be affected by the curse.

Huh? Isn't human beings the subject of the impact?

Liu Maoxing had just finished asking, and seeing Linger's expression, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart...I understand what she means!

Most of the other ingredients have been affected one after another, but human beings have not been affected. I am afraid that the latter does not mean that eating is not affected, but being eaten...

In the bad years, some unfortunate things did happen... In fact, until a hundred years ago, similar tragedies would still happen in your modern civilization, wouldn't they?

Okay...let's move on to the next topic! Liu Maoxing, who had already understood the meaning, stopped her immediately.

It's because of this, and other places where the original 'catastrophe' happened, which were the areas where Neanderthals lived, and gradually discovered that the nature of the 'catastrophe' is cursed. And we didn't give up trying, Not reconciled to being cursed to control each other to kill each other...

While killing each other to maintain the population, we also made our own efforts and discovered the true face of the 'curse'! Neanderthals did go extinct, but only as 'humans'...

Seeing that Liu Maoxing didn't seem to understand, Ling'er made a further comparison: It's as if the 'cow' will continue to exist as beef after it dies as a 'cow' individual. Become another kind of existence, a completely different existence from us! It can be said...their existence itself is a 'curse'!

Although it seems to us that the 'catastrophe' is just their revenge, it is actually their 'feeding' process, a 'feeding' process that we cannot understand. They not only become invisible and intangible, but also Their eating will not reduce or change the substance, but it will change the 'source' of the ingredients, which becomes extremely inconsistent with our Homo sapiens...

That is to say, the small portion of ingredients that have not been affected, and...we ourselves, are they unable to 'eat'? What are the ingredients that they cannot affect? Liu Maoxing asked immediately.

If we can increase the cultivation and cultivation of these ingredients, maybe we can...

Passive defense is useless. Their recipes, like ours, will continue to expand! When we discover a new ingredient, as long as it becomes popular among the tribe, the curse will follow within a few months. For the first time, Linger's tone was filled with strong disgust.

What happened after that? Since you are the survivors of the civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, that means you were not completely wiped out by the 'catastrophe' in the end? Liu Maoxing asked.

That's right, a small number of survivors united to compete with the 'curse' to expand the breadth of recipes, constantly trying new ingredients, and old ingredients kept starting to be inconsistent with us... with this 'race' ' way, lingering under the curse until seven thousand years ago...

The material cooking civilization of Lemuria and the spiritual cooking civilization of Atlantis are constantly merging in the race. In seven thousand years, I became the first *\u0026%... in human history, and also It's what you call 'Dragon Chef'!

Wait, didn't you say that the civilization of Atlantis and Lemuria was still at the peak of the development of culinary civilization? There was no dragon chef at that time? Liu Maoxing asked immediately.

Yes, more than 10,000 years ago, when the two major civilizations were at their peak, all the clansmen basically had the culinary skills equivalent to your current 'tiger level' after they reached adulthood, and there were countless existences second only to the 'dragon level'. It's just because matter and spirit are not unified, you will never be able to reach the 'dragon level'! Hey... If you knew this before me, three thousand years earlier, before the catastrophe started, the 'curse' would not be something to fear... ...

At this time, Ling'er was not proud of being the No. 1 in history, but deeply regretted why the No. 1 in history didn't appear sooner!

If the two civilizations start to merge when they are at their peak, and countless dragon chefs join forces, there will definitely be a way to break the curse.

Liu Maoxing didn't speak, but waited for Ling'er to come to his senses, and continued: Under my guidance, seven dragon chefs appeared one after another among my clansmen, but even with the eight of us, they are already fighting with' In the race of the curse, I feel more and more strenuous, and there are fewer and fewer new ingredients to be found...

But finally...we finally found a way to do it once and for all! It can restore the affected ingredients and seal the 'curse'! That is, 'spiritual kitchen utensils'! We have created spiritual kitchen utensils, as long as the ingredients are cooked with it, they will be lifted from the human diet as a whole!

'Yonglin Knife' brought seafood back to the human diet, 'Garuda Luo Knife' made poultry become food again, 'Zhuanlong Pot' made fermented ingredients no longer a taboo for humans, and 'Magic Holy Bronze Ware' made humans No more gnawing on dry jerky to avoid allergic reactions...

We use spiritual kitchen utensils to regain one recipe after another and regain the dignity of human beings!

Although it happened in the distant past, when Liu Maoxing heard this, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

The curse is constantly being sealed, and the recipes are constantly being restored... It seems that everything is going in a good direction. I thought that as long as we continue, we can rebuild the glory of ancient civilizations. Unfortunately... Ling When my son said this, he couldn't help but pause.

Liu Maoxing also endured the same, did not ask any questions, and still waited for Linger to speak.

Since today's form will appear, it is obvious that the big cataclysm has not been completely disintegrated...

However, the 'Neanderthal Curse' is not willing to fail like this. They are sealed in the 'spiritual kitchen utensils', and they are also polluting the 'spiritual kitchen utensils', but I didn't realize this at the time . Linger's tone was filled with self-blame.

What's more deadly is that maybe because of my naivety, or because I have both Atlantean and Lemurian bloodlines, I think the 'war' is over, and the survivors of Atlantis Yes, the survivors of Lemuria, everyone can live together and reshape civilization together as a patriot, as a family, but...

I forgot that the millennium bloody battle has made the contradiction between the two deeply ingrained. Even though many of us at that time had the blood of two civilizations, once the war starts, no matter what the reason is, the hatred will take root and ferment! I, who didn't realize this, allowed two camps to appear in the bereaved family without realizing the harm it would bring, and missed the last chance.

Due to the civil strife among the clansmen, all the 'spiritual kitchen utensils' were defiled by the sealed curse. Although they have no entity, they can confuse the cooks who use the kitchen utensils!

The two jade dragon pots are the basis for the initiation of the 'purification ceremony', but the person I trust the most, who is also the cook I entrusted to the other jade dragon pot, has also fallen into hatred and civil war that I can't understand.

And their mutual purpose is to use the 'spiritual kitchen utensils' to turn the clansmen who have each other's blood into 'cursed' food...

Liu Maoxing couldn't help it either, and sighed, although he already knew that Linger and the others must have failed in the end, but they didn't expect that the reason for the failure was themselves.

They... have any of them succeeded? Liu Maoxing asked.

No! After I realized that the matter had reached the point of no return, I had no choice but to use the last resort...that was to use myself as a 'sacrifice' to seal all the 'spiritual kitchen utensils', causing them to lose most of their effects, and at the same time There is also an insurance policy for them, that is... if the spiritual kitchen utensils are stained with the blood of the descendants of Homo sapiens, they will lose their effect temporarily! Ling'er said firmly.

It turns out that this is the reason why the legendary kitchen utensils lose their effect every time they see human blood! It was also Linger's last insurance for them.

Are you wondering why I didn't completely seal them? Because I can't do it anymore...'Spiritual kitchen utensils' have become 'cursed kitchen utensils'. When the 'curse' occurs, they will show, and when I shape them, diametrically opposed forces.

'Yonglin Knife' will cause all seafoods to cause common allergies in humans, 'Garuda Luo Knife' will make humans unable to absorb poultry protein, and 'Zhuanlong Pot' will make the bacteria of all fermented ingredients uncontrollable...

And before a kind of 'spiritual kitchen utensils' become 'cursed kitchen utensils', their holders will also be controlled and become the executors of the 'curse'! Therefore, when the curse breaks out, the lower the level of the cooking world, the better, because if the executors of the 'curse' are not good enough, they will not be able to properly cook all kinds of ingredients, and they will not be able to apply the 'curse'! Linger said.

So that's it... wait, if the curse will break out on the 'Jade Dragon Pot' this time, what is the curse effect of the 'Jade Dragon Pot'? Liu Maoxing asked immediately.

'Yulong pot' is different from other 'spiritual kitchen utensils'. When they are used as spiritual kitchen utensils, they are the center of other 'spiritual kitchen utensils'. Only 'Yulong pot' can cooperate with 'spiritual kitchen utensils' to complete complete cooking, but it does not have other abilities, and when the Yulong Pot appears as a 'cursed kitchen utensil', they themselves will not have any problems, but other kitchen utensils will all become 'cursed kitchen utensils'! Just like what happened seven thousand years ago! Linger said .

No wonder Ling'er said that this time will be the most serious catastrophe. The other six kitchen utensils cover almost all the ingredients that humans can use and even survive...

Can't we use the method seven thousand years ago? Liu Maoxing asked.

No, the 'dragon-patterned jade-dragon cauldron' in which the curse occurred this time is somewhat different from the 'phoenix-patterned jade-dragon cauldron' of the past, Ling'er said.

How can you be so clear? You haven't started yet...

In fact, more than a hundred years ago, the eighth 'catastrophe' almost started! But at that time, there was also a dragon chef in your civilization. The special ability of the dragon chef made him aware of the imminent disaster. Awakened me who was sleeping in the 'Phoenix Jade Dragon Pot', and then worked with me to seal all the 'Spiritual Kitchen Utensils' except the Yonglin Knife and the Garou Luo Knife, especially the two Jade Dragon Pots. A special way of sealing! Ling'er said.

That Long Chef is...

That's right, it's someone with the same name as you!

What's a 'special' sealing method? Since it is specially sealed...can't it be sealed forever?

I completely integrated the 'Phoenix Jade Dragon Pot' with myself, and transformed myself into an existence similar to 'Chef Heart', living among his clansmen. This 'living' will multiply with the blood And the transfer... Unless there are more than six dragon chefs, or my host becomes a dragon chef, the 'Phoenix Jade Dragon Pot' will never appear!

However, the function of the 'spiritual kitchen utensils' prevents them from being completely sealed. As long as Chef Long appears, there must be a kind of 'spiritual kitchen utensils' to unseal them. If the seventh and unexpected Dragon Chef appears at this time, Yulong Guo will also get out of control. Linger said.

Then what's the point of delaying the outbreak of the 'curse' back then? The current level of the culinary world is many times higher than it was a hundred years ago! Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

That's right, as expected, intermingling with each other is the fastest way to progress. I didn't expect you to develop to this level in a hundred years... But as I said, this is the last 'catastrophe', although the scale will be unprecedented. , but it is also an opportunity...an opportunity to end this 'curse'.

A hundred years ago, the situation was too sudden. The Dragon Chef with the same name as you has also been affected by the curse, so he can only re-seal the kitchen utensils, but now... as long as two Yulong pots are selected by us. In the hands of someone, you can avoid being cursed, and you can use this to compete with other 'cursed kitchen utensils'!

How to fight? Liu Maoxing asked immediately.

It's similar to the 'eating halberd' you are familiar with! Other owners of 'cursed kitchen utensils' will challenge you unconsciously...

It's just that the bet on the 'eating halberd' at that time is just a recipe for human beings! If you lose any game, it will cause wars because of the shrinkage of recipes! If they all lose...humanity will be extinct!

Are you comforting me? I feel more and more nervous!

In other words, why is it a bit like the dark duel carried out by some non-mainstream protagonists? Can we just call it Dark Halberd? It's a pity that I don't have a non-mainstream hairstyle! It's a pity that I don't know how to draw!

Liu Maoxing complained in his heart.

Wait... who did you choose? It seems that Erina was the one you chose. What about the other Chef Long? Liu Maoxing asked nervously.

I don't know, he just told me in the end, 'Give me the Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Cauldron! I will guide my successors and free mankind from this curse'. Linger said.

He always likes to speak in such a vague way? Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

Are you referring to the prophecy? I think he is hesitating! On the one hand, I hope you can prepare, and on the other hand, I don't want you to deliberately suppress the development of the culinary world because of the backlog of the 'curse' The longer it is, the more serious the backlash will be, so only a few specious words are left.

The owners of the other six pieces of kitchen utensils are all Chef Long... Liu Maoxing also had no confidence this time.

Judging from all the circumstances, it is very likely that you are his heir. What you and my host have to do now is to reach Chef Long as soon as possible. If someone is faster than you, we can't guarantee it. Others Not affected by the 'curse'! At that time, even the 'Dark Halberd Eater' will be saved, and they will work together to completely seal the human recipes, and the civilization of Homo sapiens will be over. Ling'er seems to have accepted the Dark Halberd Eater set up.

Liu Maoxing felt very heavy in his heart, and was suddenly told that he had to become a dragon chef before everyone else, and after becoming a dragon chef, he had to face the challenge of six other dragon chefs... and if he lost, it would be the end of the world. Liu Maoxing has no immediate plans Collapse is already a manifestation of perseverance!

By the way, do you know who the sixth Long Chef is?

Hearing Liu Maoxing's question, Ling'er's expression turned gloomy.

It's that bastard!

This is the first time Liu Maoxing heard Linger swear...

That bastard? Liu Maoxing was puzzled for a moment. Normally, the people Linger knew, whether friends or enemies, except for herself and Erina, and Liu Maoxing from a hundred years ago, should all be seven thousand years ago. It's an old antique.

Suddenly Liu Maoxing's expression froze, and he understood who Linger was talking about!

The one who suppressed you with the 'demon' before? Liu Maoxing asked in surprise.

That's right, it's him! Because I became a kitchen heart, the ability I can display is also restricted by the host... I was actually calculated by that guy twelve years ago! If I have been in the past twelve years, I If you keep praying, even if all the 'spiritual kitchen utensils' appear, the curse can be erupted and delayed for another year or two, there is a buffer time!

Sliced ​​thistles!

He actually became the sixth Dragon Chef...

Thinking about it, it's not too strange. Gin Dojima also said that Nakamura Ji's strength has always followed Joichiro's.

It seems that while Nakiri Ji established the Central Gourmet Organization and promoted his own new cooking concept, his own cooking skills have not stagnated!

On the contrary, Dojima Yin success is far away, and failure is far away. Relying on the Yuanyue Group, while the culinary skills have improved rapidly in the early stage, at the last step, he was shackled by it...

And it was also because his previous control over Erina indirectly affected Ling'er, so now he can only face everything without any buffer.

As long as Liu Maoxing and Erina become Dragon Chefs, the other six spiritual kitchen utensils will be infected into cursed kitchen utensils immediately.

And if Liu Maoxing and Erina do not become dragon chefs as soon as possible, once other people take the lead, once the Jade Dragon Pot appears in the hands of others, the arrangement of Ling'er and Liu Maoxing will lose meaning, and Yulong Pot will be with other people. Together, the kitchen utensils become cursed kitchen utensils, which directly promote the occurrence of the catastrophe, without even a chance to resist!

Extending the head is a knife, retracting the head is also a knife... Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

So I suggest you stick your head out angrily.

Can you put it another way?

Become a Dragon Chef...

You don't need to tell me, I will do the same. Liu Maoxing said.

The other six pieces of spiritual kitchen utensils have all been unsealed, and praying after that will have no effect. Let me guide you and Erina! Although your current cooking skills do not need any specific skills from outsiders, But...with the system before the 'Great Cataclysm' as a reference, I believe it will also be useful to you!

Of course, you are the pioneer who taught seven dragon chefs. Liu Maoxing expressed his trust in Ling'er's ability.

But sometimes, trust may not be exchanged for trust...

No, the seven clansmen I guided back then were all elites among the elites. With cooking skills like yours at the age of sixteen, they can only be regarded as upper-middle among my clansmen.

You don't need to be so straightforward!

As Linger said, her previous reaction was caused by the release of the seals on the other six spiritual kitchen utensils. Erina was only affected by her, so her spirit was shocked...

At night, Erina woke up.

Erina, who had just regained consciousness, saw Liu Maoxing and Fei Shazi in her room, seeming to be arguing about something.

You bastard! Didn't you promise me that you'll tell me the reason later? What do you mean 'wake up at night'? Why don't you tell us when you know what happened?

I'm just afraid that your three views can't bear it...

If Miss has anything...

Fei Shazi obviously couldn't accept Liu Maoxing's words, but at this moment, Erina's voice came: Fei Shazi...

Ah! Miss, are you awake? Did Ah Xing disturb you?

... Regarding Fei Shazi's inducing confession, Liu Maoxing was speechless.

Okay, Feishazi, I want to drink Yakult, can you get me an iced one? Erina said.

After Fei Shazi gave Liu Maoxing a final look, he turned and left.

When Liu Maoxing saw that there were only himself and Erina left, he reminded: I think Ling'er should have something to tell you.

When I fell asleep, it was over. Erina said.

what's your plan?

Plan? Of course, I want to become a 'Dragon Chef' as soon as possible, and then hang and beat the other seven Dragon Chefs! Erina said with high spirits.

...Six is ​​fine, don't count me in! Liu Maoxing complained feebly.

After Erina glanced at him, he said, Isn't this also very confident? You have already made yourself one of the eight dragon chefs by default?

It's okay not to acquiesce, to be honest... I don't dare to think, if we are one step late, or... lose to any other dragon chefs, what will happen to the world...

When you eat the halberd, do you also think about these things?

but……

It's just that the 'Food Halberd' is a bit of a big gamble this time! But... as long as you win, it's all right? Erina said something that Liu Maoxing often said.

Liu Maoxing looked at Erina in surprise, and finally said with a smile: Hahaha, that's right... Unexpectedly, I was educated by you in the end! Then let's work hard together! Whether it's Dragon Chef, Curse, Dark Food The halberd is fine...as long as you win...

Just don't hold me back!

Huh? Do you still have front legs and hind legs?

...Don't think that I can't sit up now that I'm lying down!
