Shokugeki no Imitation Chef
Chapter 387 Unexpected Visitor
The biggest news of the year is that in the second round of the New York All? Blue competition, the Germinate Team upset the Michelin Food Federation Team!
What is even more shocking is that in the individual competition, Liu Maoxing, the 16-year-old leader of the Germinate Team, actually defeated Paul, the president of the Michelin Food Federation...
Although after the game, it was confirmed that Paul was in poor health, and many media described Paul as being on the verge of exhaustion, as if he was about to die if he did not rescue him in time, but in order to face off against the young man he was optimistic about, he resolutely played the image ...
However, it was this kind of argument that at least made ordinary people accept the fact that Paul was defeated.
In the individual competition between the Germinate Team and the Michelin Gourmet Alliance Representative Team, Liu Maoxing scored one point, Shinomiya Kojiro scored one point, and Gan Hyuko was narrowly defeated by another Michelin chef. hand.
In the individual competition, the Germinate team actually led with a score of 2:1...
Immediately following the team competition in the afternoon, the Michelin Gourmet Federation Team announced its withdrawal from the competition, and the Germinate Team directly advanced.
The abandonment of the Michelin Gourmet Federation Team was actually expected by many people after the individual competition in the morning.
After all, Paul's condition is obviously unable to continue to participate in the competition, and the seven members of the Michelin Gourmet Federation Team are also including Paul, three chefs who are preparing to participate in the individual competition, and four who cooperate with Paul tacitly Chef composition.
If Paul is unable to participate, then the other two chefs and the four chefs will not have any tacit cooperation...
Even if they are forced to participate in the team competition, this kind of force-made team competes with cooks of the same level, it is just to make people laugh.
The most important thing is that even if the Michelin Gourmet Federation Team advances, Paul may have to miss the next game. Since he can't win the championship, it is no longer possible for the Michelin Gourmet Federation Team to continue the game. significance……
So in the afternoon, Paul, who was recuperating, announced his retirement on the hospital bed.
And it is worth noting that afterward, Paul specially invited Liu Maoxing to visit. Everyone guessed that Chairman Paul was really optimistic about Liu Maoxing, and at the same time, he also admired Paul's mind...
But they didn't know that Paul had discussed the matter with Liu Maoxing after letting others leave the ward first. If it got out, it would immediately cause the whole world to panic!
After the winner of the Dark Cuisine Showdown, the curse in the Greedy Pot was purified, and many violations that were ignored by Paul because of the guidance of the curse were gradually recalled by him...
Especially the memory of the game made Paul understand that things may have exceeded his expectations!
Fortunately, Paul was also a Long Chef who had seen big wind and waves, so he didn't mess up his position. Thinking of Liu Maoxing's performance at that time, he seemed to know something, and judging from the sudden fighting spirit against Liu Maoxing in his heart at that time, it showed that Liu Maoxing should In this vision, played a special role.
And Liu Maoxing found that President Paul had returned to normal except for some weakness, and he still remembered the previous events. After thinking about it, he also told him about the catastrophe.
After all, Paul is the president of Michelin, so he can distinguish how to deal with this kind of news, so he doesn't have to worry about the spread of panic.
The most important thing is that Paul now recalled the previous events. If he still forced to lie, he might be alerted by Paul and think too much, which would only cause trouble.
Instead, tell him directly, I believe that as the president of the Michelin Food Federation, you can tell the difference!
...That's it, do you understand?
Can I say I don't understand at all? Or tell me, are you joking? Paul smiled wryly.
No, with your wisdom, I think as long as you face the reality, you will understand. Liu Maoxing didn't give him a chance to play dumb.
If it wasn't for the fact that I still remember something from the past, I wouldn't have believed what you said...Does the people from the Dragon Chef Alliance know? Paul obviously also felt that Liu Maoxing was related to the guys from the Dragon Chef Alliance from his name. Unusual!
They don't know either. Apart from me, there is another owner of the 'Jade Dragon Pot', Erina. Only you and our commander-in-chief know about it. Liu Maoxing said.
Is it because...can't be known by 'us'? Although Paul is nearly 60 years old, his brain is still fast, and he immediately reacted.
That's right, if Chef Long, who has been affected by the 'curse', finds out, it may push the situation to an even more unpredictable direction.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Actually, it's nothing, keep it secret, and try to pay more attention to the southern African side, but don't be discovered by others. The other thing is this competition... The American Cuisine Development Association's Naki Cut thistle didn't like me in the first place. , because of the curse, I'm afraid this reaction will intensify...
You bastard from the Association for the Development of American Cuisine! Speaking of which, they prepared a fake 'Yulong Pot', right? Paul became furious when he heard the name of the Association for the Development of American Cuisine.
From the beginning, it was the Michelin Gastronomy Federation, which first agreed and advocated the American Cuisine Development Association as the organizer of The? Blue.
This session should have been The? Blue held by the Michelin Gourmet Federation...
But because it is a fact that the strength of the American Cuisine Development Association is increasing day by day, Paul feels that sooner or later it will become the fourth largest cuisine organization, and because the two have a great blood relationship in the inheritance of cuisines, so Paul expects Michelin to help the ADA to complete this finishing touch.
Since it is impossible to completely expand the Americas into Michelin's area of influence, it is not bad to take the opportunity to win a hardcore ally for yourself!
Afterwards, the American Development Association did not disappoint him, and changed The? Blue into All? Blue. I won the right to host, but it was before the curse broke out...
Paul also lamented that the people of the American Development Association were lucky to find something that the Dragon Chef Alliance valued so much.
But now knowing that Jade Dragon Pot is fake, Paul is also the most angry!
Because if this kind of thing is exposed, the Michelin Gourmet Federation, which supported the American Development Association at the beginning, will not be directly implicated, but its credibility will also be questioned!
What Paul is thinking now is probably: Among the three major culinary organizations, I am the only one who regards you as an ally, but you come to bet on my reputation?
Of course, Liu Maoxing believes that the high-level executives of the American Cuisine Development Association should not know about it, at least a large part of it does not know about it, it is completely a desperate move...
After all, in his heart, whether the reputation of the American Development Association or Michelin is good, if it is for his own ideals, they can be used as bargaining chips.
But Liu Maoxing still has to admire Paul's big heart.
I just learned about the catastrophe, and I still have the heart to be angry and dissatisfied with the American Cuisine Development Association...
After leaving Paul's special ward, Liu Maoxing returned to the hotel prepared for the contestants during the All? Blue period.
On the way, Yuuhime and the others also called to invite him to attend the celebration banquet at night. The location was the room of Zenji Marui, another hotel booked by Yuanyue two streets away...
Let's celebrate together after Erina wins tomorrow's match. Liu Maoxing declined.
It's not that he attaches so much importance to All? Blue, if there is no catastrophe, Liu Maoxing will go with them in all likelihood...
Eh? Is that so... that's fine! I'll wait for you in Marui's room tomorrow, and let's celebrate by ourselves today! Yuuhime said.
Sure enough, even if Liu Maoxing, the protagonist of the celebration, was not present, it did not affect their holding a celebration party...
After Liu Maoxing returned to the hotel, surprisingly, he didn't go to Erina, but went directly to the cooking room!
Regarding the fact that the dragon chefs could fully exert the effect of cursed kitchen utensils, Liu Maoxing called Erina after the competition.
As for now...Erina should still be in the cooking room, right?
Liu Maoxing just informed Erina of the news of his victory and the possible appearance of his opponent, but did not disturb her.
Because Liu Maoxing could guess that Erina must be making every effort to prepare tomorrow's menu, that's why he didn't even watch his own game.
I can't be idle either! Liu Maoxing muttered.
Although Liu Maoxing still doesn't know the topic of the next competition, or even who the next opponent will be, Liu Maoxing also doesn't intend to waste any time.
After discovering that Paul could use the true power of cursed kitchen utensils, Liu Maoxing understood that these final duels will be more difficult than imagined...
Being able to defeat Paul this time can be said to be due to the timing, location, and harmony of people. Compared with Paul, Liu Maoxing has all the advantages to narrowly defeat the opponent.
Even so, the score was only 4:1. You must know that in a game of this nature, as long as the result is not one-sided, it can almost be said to be evenly matched!
And for Liu Maoxing, he has already found that when he is playing on the field this time, other Long Chefs are sitting in the audience below.
This is the first time Liu Maoxing has appeared in front of other dragon chefs after owning the Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot. It is conceivable that although they will not rush over directly, in their thinking, they must have already regarded Liu Maoxing as a The enemy, Chef Long, who will confront him later, will definitely be serious too, it is impossible to be as careless as Paul...
But there is also a piece of good news, that is, in the previous match with Paul, Liu Maoxing's commanding duel was successful, and the effect was better than Liu Maoxing imagined!
It is estimated that even Ling'er does not know how much benefit can be obtained by launching Designation Cuisine against dragon-level cooks and winning the battle.
After all, in the era when the command duel was popular, there were no dragon-level cooks. When the first dragon-level cook appeared 7,000 years ago, human beings were already on the verge of life and death. Everyone had the possibility to expand their recipes. The high-level chefs are all the precious wealth of mankind, and it is impossible to launch any command duel.
In the later generations, although some people have discovered some scattered inheritance of the Duel of Orders one after another, and the situation is no longer so dangerous, it is not easy for dragon-level cooks to appear...
Except for the fact that Liu Maoxing was driven to a dead end this time, otherwise, no cook below the dragon level would try to launch a command showdown against the dragon-level cook, and after Ling'er sealed the cursed kitchen utensils, the whole world It is very rare that two Dragon Chefs appear on the Internet at the same time.
Even if it does appear, it is usually separated by the north and the south, and usually not in the same culinary civilization circle.
In the era when most of human civilization has been lost, this also means that even if there are two dragon chefs, they may never see each other in their lifetime.
Even if they meet, what are the chances that at least one of them will understand the command duel?
Even if one party understands the commanding duel, but they are already at the top, what are the chances that they will have a brain twitch to find another peak?
Therefore, Liu Maoxing reckoned that he should be the first chef to defeat Chef Long in the Showdown of Orders!
The next time you meet Linger, Liu Maoxing can also brag about it. Although Liu Maoxing's number one is far less valuable than Linger's number one, at least you can talk about it?
At least because of this, Liu Maoxing discovered what would happen after the Duel of Command was launched against the dragon-level cook!
The income is far more than that of Carlo, who is second only to the dragon level, launching the command duel and succeeding... No, to be precise, the two are not the same meaning.
In a cooking duel, while the will of the cook affects the ingredients or himself, part of it will also dissipate. Whether it is material cooking or spiritual cooking, in a successful dish, the cook puts his will into practice. However, for a cook who is good at material cooking, the object of the will is the self, while for a cook who is good at spiritual cooking, the will is the source used to change the ingredients.
And the principle of commanding duel is to absorb the will of the opponent after winning.
Although you can't directly use other people's will for yourself like the Beiming Divine Art in martial arts novels, you can use this part of will as a teaching material to learn slowly...
However, judging from the results of the previous command duels, this part of the teaching materials must be scattered, but after defeating Paul, Liu Maoxing's income is completely different!
Although in terms of quantity, the income from defeating Paul is only a little bit more than after defeating Carlo, but the will is very complete!
The former is like a detailed idea of a classic sample question in the college entrance examination, while the latter is equivalent to tearing up the five-year college entrance examination, three-year simulation and then picking out the amount of one question...
Compared with the former, the latter is more suitable for mutual verification with your existing knowledge. If you really want to master the knowledge you didn't have before, the former is more useful!
If you use the description of fighting bosses and exploding equipment, Carlo is the material that exploded all over the place, but you can't make a piece of equipment with these materials, you have to exchange them with others, and then buy blueprints to play their role. Paul directly exploded a piece of top-quality equipment!
Obviously the two can play completely different roles.
Because before tomorrow's game, Liu Maoxing didn't plan to go to Erina, so he didn't ask Linger why, but Liu Maoxing himself could guess something...
Probably because there is an essential gap between a cook who reaches the dragon level and a cook who is below the dragon level.
No matter how close to the dragon level, there is a difference between complete and not perfect from the dragon level.
That is to say... Chef Long's will is integrated, even if only a part of it is intercepted, it is impossible to destroy its integrity!
It's like sticking several kinds of plasticine together, just pull off a piece, it may be any color, or several colors, but if you rub different kinds of plasticine together thoroughly, then pull it off One piece...Although it seems to be a color that will affect your appetite, if it is really serious, it is definitely a combination of all colors.
Now that he had had enough of the incomplete version, Liu Maoxing, who had to put together and interpret the five-year college entrance examination, three-year simulation, directly picked up the example questions to analyze, and started a new round of sharpening...
Early the next morning, when Yuanyue's students were in the auditorium, watching the match between the Seed Team and the Brahman Tasting Association Team, You Ji searched around for a long time, but couldn't find Liu Maoxing, so she couldn't help but wondered: What's the matter with these two people? I didn't see little Erina yesterday... Could it be that they had a quarrel?
A Xing said that he would stay for practice today, and time is running out. Chuangzhen said.
Then why didn't you go to practice?
Senior Shinomiya and the others have come to watch the competition, so it's useless for me and Subaru to practice on our own?
Indeed, Soma and Subaru Misaku only have the opportunity to play in the team competition, and they are not in a hurry to practice individually, so naturally they will not miss the competition!
In fact, in the eyes of other players, the same is true...
Competitors, which culinary skill is not the result of more than ten years or decades of hard work?
What is the effect of just practicing this extra day? Let's take a look at the culinary skills of other excellent cooks.
Naturally, they couldn't understand how urgent Liu Maoxing was right now, it wasn't a matter of winning the championship... and they couldn't even understand that Liu Maoxing had teaching materials to sharpen his sword in battle now!
And whether it is Erina or Liu Maoxing, the most important reason why they will not enter the competition scene unless they are competitions is to minimize the number of conflicts with other dragon chefs.
According to Linger's analysis, given the current influence of the curse on the dragon chefs, when they directly compete with Liu Maoxing or Erina, they will inevitably launch a dark cooking showdown and bet on human recipes...
At the same time, if Liu Maoxing or Erina are too close to other Long Chefs, there is also the possibility that Long Chef will lose his personal consciousness and forcibly launch the Dark Cuisine Showdown!
When Liu Maoxing went to meet Lin Yi and Chengichiro in private before, after Liu Maoxing chatted with them for a while, they began to show signs of absent-mindedness, and if there was nothing, they turned the topic to test Liu Maoxing's cooking skills .
You must know that Liu Maoxing hadn't obtained the Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot at that time!
If it were changed to the present, once the distance is too close, Liu Maoxing suspects that the other party will directly launch the Dark Cuisine Showdown, rather than just being cursed to guide thinking.
So yesterday in the game, after Liu Maoxing won, he immediately left the scene, and then went to visit Paul, not only to avoid the reporters, but also to avoid being bumped into by the other Long Chefs.
Otherwise, not only would it be possible to carry out the Dark Cuisine Showdown without any equipment, but it would also be possible for ordinary people to notice the abnormality, which would cause panic.
Erina has already started the competition right now? The Brahman has the 'Turning Dragon Pot', which can speed up the fermentation of ingredients when it is not fully functional and directly uses the main body. When it is fully functional, it can not only Instantly fermented, and can also guide the direction of fermentation with personal will... I don’t know if Erina will meet him in the individual competition, or it will be dragged to the team competition.”
Liu Maoxing couldn't help but put down the kitchen knife, thinking about Erina's affairs...
Although I want to concentrate, I also understand that my worries are a waste of time, but I still can't help myself. I guess Erina should be in the same state yesterday morning, right?
You can't concentrate when cooking, but it's a big taboo for cooks!
Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of the door of the cooking room behind him. When Liu Maoxing heard it, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he almost jumped up.
Although he was really distracted just now, but the person who can enter the cooking room without Liu Maoxing, who has super five senses, not noticing, has definitely surpassed the category of ordinary people!
More importantly, the moment Liu Maoxing heard the voice, he recognized the other party's identity...
Xie, master Xie...why didn't you go to the competition site! Liu Maoxing's tone was obviously nervous and guarded.
Usually players from other teams will not appear in the cooking room of other team players out of consideration of Guada Lixia!
Even if Xie Yunlong doesn't care about this, at this time, he should be a spectator on the field...
I can see from your performance that this old man is obviously at the right place. Master Xie's words made Liu Maoxing more and more uneasy.
Ahem, I just remembered something. You have nothing important to do, so I won't accompany you for now.
When Master Xie was in Hokkaido, he also helped him a lot, and during the Shenqian Cuisine Showdown, Liu Maoxing was regarded as a god-assisted teammate by Liu Maoxing, but now... Liu Maoxing has to be rude!
Seeing Liu Maoxing talking, he was already aiming at the window next to him, Xie Yunlong couldn't help but said: No, I think my business is more important... Is there something wrong with the legendary kitchen utensils?
Hearing Xie Yunlong's words, Liu Maoxing understood that the oldest existing (Ling'er is not counted as existing) Long Chef had discovered something, but he was not excited at all, because according to Linger, they found out what happened. The truth will only complicate the influence of the curse on him...
What made Liu Maoxing slightly puzzled was that at least for now, Master Xie didn't seem to have any abnormalities.
But at this moment, Xie Yunlong took off the toad sunglasses of the same style as the Guixianren, and saw that he is now in the shape of I want to cultivate immortality...
The eyes are blood red, and the dark circles around them are comparable to national treasures. What's even more frightening is that the veins around the eye sockets have burst out, and it seems that there are still wriggling earthworms hidden underneath!
I think some things should be resolved while the old man is still awake! Master Xie's voice seemed to be trying to control his emotions...
