Above the gray fog

Lin Shan walked through the dark red door, and the scene in front of him changed dramatically in an instant.

He came to a vast world full of fantasy and exotic atmosphere.

The venue of the food competition.

The sky of the venue was not blue, but a deep purple like a gem, twinkling with stars.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance, as if you could taste different delicacies with every breath.

The ground was paved with unknown metal, and the surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting everything around.

In the distance stood tall buildings of various shapes, some like huge food sculptures, and some like castles wrapped in huge iron pots.

The water flow was suspended in the air, forming a wonderful waterfall, and various strange creatures were swimming in the water.

"Master Chef, please come here." The person who had been introduced before had disappeared, and the waiter who was responsible for organizing the venue said respectfully.

"Well... you lead the way." Lin Shan nodded slightly.

The waiter who led the way was an unknown race with a slender figure and light blue skin.

Wearing a robe embroidered with complex patterns, every step looks elegant and calm.

Lin Shan followed the waiter through the vast and boundless arena. Various small flying creatures floated in the air. They flickered like fireflies, adding a bit of fantasy to the arena.

Soon, they came to the real competition venue.

It was a huge circular platform floating in the low sky.

Around the platform were the audience seats. Some spectators had already started to take their seats. They were in various shapes, and some were even completely beyond Lin Shan's cognition.

"This is your kitchen seat." The waiter pointed to an empty seat and said to Lin Shan, "The competition will officially start tomorrow. At present, all the registered people have not arrived. Please wait here for a day. You are not allowed to walk around or use your senses to explore the surroundings. Once you are discovered, you will be disqualified as a chef and even reported to the Abyss Chef Association."

"Hmm..." Although he didn't understand it, Lin Shan nodded slightly.

After the waiter left, Lin Shan began to look at his kitchen seat.

It was an open space, divided by a few white lines into a small space of about ten meters in length and width.

There was a box like a cardboard in the corner.

Lin Shan probed into it with his spiritual power.

The box was full of ingredients and utensils, most of which were ingredients he had never seen before.

Lin Shan sat cross-legged on the metal floor, seemingly waiting quietly, but in fact he was panicking.

He didn't know how to cook at all, let alone an abyss chef, he was not even an ordinary chef.

Just as Lin Shan silently prayed to believe in the parchment, other contestants arrived one after another. Their forms, dresses and temperaments were different, but without exception, they exuded a strong aura.

As night fell, the stars above the stadium became brighter.

In this environment, Lin Shan couldn't immerse himself in cultivation, so he could only close his eyes to kill time.

At a certain moment.

Lin Shan sniffed and opened his eyes in confusion.

He smelled a fragrance again, not a strange fragrance in the air, but a fragrance of food.

Lin Shan turned his head and looked around. In front of the stands behind him, he saw a huge dining table suspended in the air, filled with all kinds of delicacies, and each dish exuded a mouth-watering aroma.

Several chubby, round little demons were feasting on the food, their faces full of satisfaction and enjoyment.

The demons were extremely agile, their claws quickly shuttled between the plates, and the chewing sounds and unusual laughter intertwined to form a strange harmony.

On the other side of the table, huge beasts were quietly serving, with endless loyalty and obedience in their eyes.

The beasts had shiny fur and well-developed muscles. They carefully handed all kinds of delicacies to the demons, with gentle and delicate movements.

There were many creatures in the audience seats at the back staring at this scene, but they dared not speak out.

After watching for a while, Lin Shan looked away, and the kitchen seat next to him had been occupied.

Unlike Lin Shan who was still in a daze, the chef began to make the final preparations at his kitchen seat. Their movements were full of professionalism and skill, adjusting the temperature of the flame, carefully checking the ingredients, and finally praying silently.

Soon, the sky was bright.

There was not much difference between day and night in the stadium. Stars could be seen during the day and there was no sun.

There was only a change in the brightness of the light, which was brighter during the day.

"Buzz~~"

A huge bell tower suddenly appeared on the field, and the sound of the bell was melodious and deep.

"Buzz~~"

"Buzz~~~"

With the ringing of three bells, a trembling power enveloped the entire field.

The figure of the indescribable slowly emerged at the edge of the world, almost covering half of the sky.

What is the indescribable?

It has no form and no state, exists and does not exist, and no accurate words can describe it.

"The indescribable has arrived, and the referee's seat is in place."

A deep roar came from nowhere, clearly reaching the ears of every living being.

The audience seats not far away suddenly rose, and stopped when the height exceeded the competition venue.

The audience seats were already full of people. The number of people was not large, only about tens of thousands, and those who could come here to watch the game were not ordinary.

The referee's seat appeared on the platform of the competition venue, and there were five referees.

Lin Shan saw the woman who helped him register among them.

There was a demon among the referees who noticed something was wrong behind him and turned around to see the table and the little demon on it.

His face suddenly turned red, and behind him, he grabbed a few little demons.

"You useless things, you will have food in a while, don't be an eyesore here!" He roared, slapped the table into a particle state, and threw a few little demons to the ground, as if he wanted everyone to see it on purpose.

The little demons were fine, rubbed their butts, and flew to the audience and sat down quietly.

The other four referees did not move at all, and did not even turn around.

When the demon referee finished dealing with trivial matters, one referee stood up.

Similar to the human figure, the body is like a crystal sculpture, with a light blue light, and there is no obvious facial features on the head, only a pair of deep eyes, as if they can see through everything.

The arms are slender, the fingers are as flexible as tentacles, and the body is covered with crystal shells, flashing a strange luster.

"The first game begins-please use the ingredients in the treasure box to make a meal that satisfies a referee."

His voice is low and majestic.

After speaking, he sat down.

The field below suddenly became hot, really hot, with flames of various colors burning.

Most of the contestants immediately started to act, opening their treasure chests, taking out various exotic ingredients, and began to carefully prepare dishes.

The field was full of busy figures, with sword lights and fire shadows intertwined, forming a spectacular picture.

Only Lin Shan and a few others did not move.

Lin Shan looked at the ingredients in the treasure chest, his heart was blank.

He had seen many recipes before, but he had deleted them as useless memories. At this moment, he knew nothing about cooking.
