Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Hey! It's your fault, why did it come out?"

"No, it's your fault..."

"..." Liu Maoxing had no choice but to accept this reality!

The super five-star reward is no longer a practical ability... No, to be precise, it is no longer an "ability", but a burden!

"So that's it, this is his backhand... Is it changing the conditions for unblocking?" Ling'er muttered.

Liu Maoxing just remembered that Ling'er said before that the one who sealed the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot" a hundred years ago must have prepared a second move, in case the seventh dragon appeared before his successor became the Dragon Chef. A dragon chef, the Yulong pot is affected by the curse...

"But this is too unreliable, isn't it? It's just that the difficulty of unblocking the 'Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot' is set a little lower... In case my basic cooking skills are perfect, the seventh dragon chef appears What about it?" Liu Maoxing couldn't help complaining.

Ling'er thought for a while, and felt that this method seemed unreliable, so she could only say, "Maybe there are other safer methods."

You know, today is the day when Linger was "hollowed out"...

Although Ling'er knows a lot of dragon-level recipes, the 60 dishes that Liu Maoxing tasted now completely cover the essence of the ancient culinary civilization. There are no overlapping 60 dishes. If you continue later, The effect will not be so good.

While lamenting the coincidence, Linger, Liu Maoxing, and Erina also felt... this is too mysterious!

"By the way, after becoming a 'Dragon Chef', there will be all these messes... Ahem, I mean the ability of 'weird'? Is this the legendary 'There is a golden house in the dish, and there is Yan Ruyu in the dish'? But the current Chef Long doesn't seem to have these abilities..."

"I gave it to him at the beginning."

"You taught it? Then why don't you know what backhand he has prepared?" Liu Maoxing became even more puzzled.

"It's 'communication', not 'teaching'... My ability comes from the blessings of all the ingredients in the world. The object of my prayers before was not an illusory god, but all the ingredients in the world. As the first dragon chef, So enjoy the highest level of blessings, Chef Long behind, the effect of the blessing is getting weaker and weaker, and now the effect is very small...A hundred years ago, I gave half of this blessing to him." Ling Ling son said.

"Huh? "Blessing" can also be divided?"

"Hey, so your sword skill is not up to standard."

"..."

Is this a question of knife skills? It turns out that knife skills can even "cut" this kind of thing? Liu Maoxing complained secretly in his heart.

Liu Maoxing took a closer look, and the "Dragon Jade Dragon Pot" suddenly appeared in front of him...

Well, if he hadn't seen Erina's "Phoenix-patterned Jade Dragon Pot" beforehand, Liu Maoxing would not have noticed that there was a pot in front of him.

No matter how you look at it, it is a basin with a round bottom...

There is no handle, and there is no part beyond the concept of "basin", which is difficult to deal with.

However, when Liu Maoxing picked up the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot", a layer of very detailed tyrannical dragon patterns appeared on it, permeating the entire "pot", indicating that this is not an ordinary "pot"!

"Is it necessary to directly hold the edge of the pot with your hands? Ordinary people really can't use it... By the way, you were too lazy when you made the Yulong pot?"

Most people use this "Yulong pot" to cook, and they can cook two dishes at a time. In addition to the pot, there is also a "roasted claw" as a gift!

"If you just gain the trust of the spiritual kitchen utensils initially, you can only use it in this way. But as long as you master it to a certain extent, even if the 'Yulong Pot' is not in your hand, you can still use any kitchen utensils to display the 'spiritual kitchen utensils'." 'The effect of...

I was creating the use of the "spiritual kitchen utensils", which were originally prepared for cooks who can fully control them. The situation of directly using the spiritual kitchen utensils itself...but I didn't consider it. " Linger said.

Liu Maoxing also heard it. It seems that the spiritual kitchen utensils she created belonged to that kind of talisman passive props, but because the later "Dragon Chef" no longer had special abilities other than cooking skills, it could only be used as a talisman instead. The main body of the "spiritual kitchen utensils" to realize part of the capabilities.

"Then I now..."

"The 'mirror image' you copied also has the effect of a part of the blessing of the ingredients, but now...you can pour about half of your will, and you can almost completely master the 'Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot'." Linger said.

Liu Maoxing estimated that according to the current standard of "Mirror Mirror Linger", the weight will be increased by half... By then, let alone emotional intelligence, even his own emotional expression will be suppressed.

However, if you meet Chef Long and start the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" during the competition, it is not a problem to temporarily increase the memory usage of "Mirror Mirror Linger", and then reduce it...

"Hey..." Liu Maoxing looked at Linger and suddenly sighed, but didn't say anything.

In the end, Linger paid attention instead: "Why are you sighing?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that if you weren't so fat...cough cough, I meant 'strong'!"

"...Do you think that the basic cooking skills have been completed, and there will be nothing more to ask of me in the future?"

It seems that even 7,000 years ago, calling a woman fat was a faux pas.

Of course, "Ling'er" is not really fat, Liu Maoxing just wanted to express that after "filling her up", it took up too much will...

"Okay, now that your basic cooking skills have been completed, the ability of the 'sense of food' should have been fed back by basic cooking skills... How are you preparing for the individual competition in the first round of the main competition? Was it the one played in 'Winter'?" Erina asked.

"The recipes are almost ready... Speaking of the result of this lottery, no one really got what they wanted." Liu Maoxing sighed.

In the first round of the competition, the result of the draw was that the first game "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" played against the "Dragon Chef Alliance Team", the second game "Germinate Team" played against the "Michelin Gourmet Federation Team", and the third game "Seed Team" " against the "Brahman Tasting Association Team", the fourth "Hundred Stars Sanying Team" against the "American Cuisine Development Association Team"...

Among them, the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team" pointed at the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation Team" from the very beginning, and even wanted to represent the Italian style and compete with the French style for the title of the first Western food...

The "three heroes" of the "Hundred Stars Sanying Team" are all from Southeast Asia and South Asia, and logically speaking, they should be close to the "Brahman Tasting Association" geographically.

However, the special nature of the "Brahman Tasting Association" is doomed to miss some talents in the culinary world, and the "San Ying" are all cooks who have been missed or even suppressed by the "Brahman Tasting Association". opponents, do not ask self-knowledge.

It can also be seen from the name of the "Brahman Tasting Association", that this is the only organization among the three major culinary organizations that puts its own definition on the nature of "tasting"...

Due to some reasons left over from history, although some backward systems that rank people according to their origins have been abandoned for a long time in name, they are still stubbornly entangled in people's hearts. The "Brahman Tasting Association" started It is also completely controlled by the upper caste who is incarnated by the mouth of a giant in religious mythology and is responsible for tasting food.

Although the situation is gradually improving, the current top leader of the "Brahman Tasting Association" is also a dragon-level chef in name, but it is undeniable that the chronic illness of the system has caused some of the "Brahman Tasting Association" to diversify the cooking people have been treated unfairly.

Among them, the top chefs, because there are two other major cooking organizations, will not be suppressed by the "Brahman Tasting Association" until they have no room for success...

But like the "Hundred Stars Sanying Team", it is certain that the goal from the beginning is to hit the reputation of the "Brahman Tasting Association" to the greatest extent, so as to urge it to speed up reforms, but from a technical analysis, Liu Maoxing is not optimistic about them ...

The strength of the dragon chef is the closer to this level, the more you can feel it. Even if a dragon-level chef sits in charge, even if they are really drawn by them to want an opponent, the chances of winning are very small.

And now neither of the two teams has drawn the opponent they want, Liu Maoxing estimates that they will be eliminated in all likelihood, and there will be no chance of meeting them later...

"How is your recipe preparation? Do you know who your opponent is?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"I chose 'Hai'... As for who the opponent is, each team will not reveal it before the game starts." Erina said.

Probably only the "Germinate Team" and "Seed Team" have this kind of trust relationship.

The three individual competitions between the "Seed Team" and the "Brahman Tasting Association Team" were titled "Earth", "Sky", and "Ocean"...

It can be seen that the topics of all individual competitions are very broad, and the coverage is also very wide. This is also to avoid situations that are obviously beneficial or unfavorable to a certain cuisine.

Tomorrow is the start of the main match. "Team Germinate" and "Team Seed" will compete on the second and third day respectively. Starting at 9:00 am, the three groups of "individual competitions" will be held at the same time. The time limit is three hours. If there is a score of "3:0", the side that gets three points will advance directly, otherwise there will be a "team competition" with two points in the afternoon...

"Are you going to watch tomorrow's game?" Erina asked.

"I'm not going, I'll continue to refine the recipes! I feel that there is still room for improvement." Liu Maoxing said.

When cooking duels, you only need to think about completing your own cooking as well as possible. There is no practical benefit in knowing more about your opponent, so Liu Maoxing decided not to waste time...

"I don't plan to go either." Erina said and left, as if she wanted to do some practice.

After she left Liu Maoxing's cooking room, Ling'er was still a little confused: "Do you think his mirror image really looks like me?"

Erina thought she was complaining that Liu Maoxing's mirror image pixels were too low, so she comforted: "It doesn't look like that at all, Linger is much cuter and more beautiful than that..."

"That's right! I think so too!" Ling'er didn't think any more.

...

Obviously not all the players would be so "big-hearted"... To be precise, only Liu Maoxing and Erina were not present in the second day's competition!

After all, the pressure on the two of them is the greatest now. The other contestants either want to compete for the title of "No. , "Italian Royal Cuisine Team", it is considered bitter and bitter.

But Liu Maoxing and Erina are directly facing the pressure of "all mankind" level...

After one o'clock at noon, Chuangzhen came back from watching the game, excitedly came to Liu Maoxing and said, "Ah Xing! You really should go and see today's game, that Chef Carlo is really good, last time he only met in the team competition. Now, his pressure was completely resisted by you, and I haven't felt anything yet..."

"Huh? Did Carlo win?"

"I lost, three to zero, and it was my father who played against Carlo..."

"Did you praise Carlo just to praise your father?" Liu Maoxing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Of course not! In addition to my father, the other two players in the Dragon Chef League, that uncle and the old man, are also unbelievably strong!" Chuangzhen was still excited.

Xingping Chuangzhen, who is full of enthusiasm for cooking, has already "ignited" him just by seeing the cooking of "Dragon Chef"...

"Ah Xing, you don't know, just seeing their cooking, sitting in the front row and smelling the vague smell, and getting the reaction of the judges, I even drool! Unexpectedly, the cooking can be done to this level, I am afraid that when the old man and I confronted each other, he didn't try his best at all!" Chuangzhen continued to be excited.

"No, your saliva has already flowed out..." Liu Maoxing's complaints were ignored.

Since they are contestants themselves, Chuangzhen and the others also have a good position...

And now Chuangzhen is still in the period of gradually breaking away from the "Yuanyue Academy level", but not completely. It is said to be "looking down", but I already have the confidence that "if you match up, you will definitely win", and now it is true self-confidence, not the stupid boldness before.

However, at the level above the "Peak of Yuanyue Academy", that is, the top level of the real culinary world, Chuangzhen has only just come into contact with it, and has not yet integrated himself into it, and it is impossible to judge how "powerful" Chef Carlo is. What's the difference between Dad's "powerful"...

"Three to zero... No wonder you came back at noon, but those few people are really merciless..." Liu Maoxing sighed.

"However, if the subordinates are merciful, Chef Carlo will feel even more uncomfortable." Chuangzhen said.

Liu Maoxing naturally understands this truth, but Chef Carlo is really unlucky. If the opponent is any of the other three teams, there should be a chance to delay the team competition...

But there are three dragon-level existences in the Dragon Chef Alliance, and they can directly crush the individual competition, there is no chance at all!

Moreover, the Chinese cuisine is the current emphasis on basic skills, and the most inherited cuisines. Master Xie and basic skills are probably not weaker than Liu Maoxing, and Master Lin is not much worse...

Even if the team competition is not the best match for the "one belt and four", it is definitely not weak. Even in the team competition, against the other three recommended teams, they all have a good chance of winning, and they are also the favorites to win the championship now!

"It's good to see you so excited, how about Subaru?" The nickname Liu Maoxing gave to Subaru without authorization is now almost popularized.

"you mean……"

"It won't be because we went to watch the game today that we will not dare to play tomorrow, right? We are not sure that we can kill the opponent 3-0." Liu Maoxing said.

"Of course! I'm looking forward to it all the time! Don't lose too badly or win too easily!" Chuangzhen said with high fighting spirit.

But in terms of fighting spirit, Xing Pingchuang really doesn't have to worry. Even if his cooking skills are lower now, he will definitely not show "fear" in the kitchen, right?

What's more, he has grown a lot now compared to when Liu Maoxing first met him, let alone a team competition, even if he is now going head-to-head with those dragon chefs, I'm afraid he will only be "shivering with excitement"... …

"As for Subaru...then he sneaked away and said he wanted to observe Dad and the others..."

Well, Liu Maoxing now feels that all he needs to do now is worry about Misaku Subaru not being arrested!

As for Shinomiya Kojiro, Mizuhara Fuyumi, and Kannyuko, they are all at the top of the culinary world. Although they are worse than those close to the dragon-level cooks like Dojima Yin and Liu Lousan, they will only fight against the dragon-level. Inspire their will!

"Do you still have to practice all night today? There will be a competition tomorrow." Chuangzhen asked.

"Don't worry, didn't everyone come here for every competition in the academy before?" Liu Maoxing said.

Yuanyue Academy has indeed improved everyone's ability to withstand pressure.

Liu Maoxing didn't see Erina that night either, until early in the morning, he went back to his room to rest and adjust his state, and then when he left the hotel to go to the stadium in the morning, Erina was waiting for him at the stairs, and handed him a "must win" Yushou", Yushou is also a talisman, and bless Liu Maoxing to "win the flag"!

This is not made by Linger, there is no supernatural power in it, only Erina's blessing.

But obviously Erina is not going to go to the scene...

It wasn't until Liu Maoxing took a few steps forward that Erina couldn't help but exhorted: "You must come back...you still owe me two captures and two strokes...and I don't want to 'sweep the tail' for you!"

"Wait for me to come back." Liu Maoxing waved his hand without looking back.

After all, it is better to set up less things like flags...

When the owner of "Cursed Kitchen Utensils" meets the only "Yulong Pot" that still has the ability to purify, he will directly start a "Dark Cuisine Showdown" with "human recipes" as the bet, which can also be said to be the "final showdown" "!"

Although the bet is a "recipe for human beings", Ling'er also said that if he loses, Liu Maoxing is also very likely to be in danger!

After all, from the perspective of chips, if the proportion of "human recipes" is 10,000, then Liu Maoxing's life is only 1, and there is a high possibility that he will be taken away along with it...

As for the so-called "sweeping the tail" later, it is purely Erina's being arrogant. After all, if Liu Maoxing loses, she will have to rely on her to seal it again. If both of them fail, the "human beings" who are both bet "recipe", will disappear from the human diet forever...

"It's really bad. Yesterday I told Chuangzhen not to be nervous or too excited, but I got a little 'out of control' myself!" Liu Maoxing muttered to himself as he walked towards his "Winter" duel.

At this moment, Liu Maoxing raised his palm and looked in front of him, as expected he was trembling slightly!

This is nervous? Or excited? Liu Maoxing was also not very clear...

Because he had already seen it at this time, just opposite the arena, it was Chairman Paul who had commissioned a taster to "dig" Liu Maoxing!

This was the first time Liu Maoxing saw him in person, but at the moment when the eyes of the two met, Liu Maoxing's "super vision" had already caught it, and this Paul seemed to be abnormal.

At the beginning, it seemed that the other party wanted to smile at him, but immediately his expression became serious. In his eyes, Liu Maoxing found a strong fighting spirit, even hostility!

Apparently, the aura of "dragon-patterned jade dragon pot" on Liu Maoxing's body has already aroused the "curse" effect on Chairman Paul.

With a one-third chance, it happens to be a "king vs. king" situation... It seems that in the individual stage, there will be a "final showdown"!

Chairman Paul doesn't know what happened now. When he saw Liu Maoxing, a junior he admired very much, he still wanted to smile. Obviously, he didn't give up his intention of poaching someone.

But at the next moment, a strong desire suddenly surged in his heart, that is...to defeat him! beat him! beat him!

Of course, Paul himself did not feel that he was being controlled or influenced by anything, and he even complained in his heart. The older he was, the more he was in the second grade, and he was actually inspired by a young man?

However, Paul did not mean to control this fighting spirit, but completely attributed this fighting spirit to his own will!

Liu Maoxing couldn't help taking a deep breath, and gradually even forgot how he came to the arena, how he came in, and how he stood here.

Going back to my memory, I didn't have any impression until I got the "Must Victory Guard" from Erina before I left the hotel...

"Is it because the other party is a dragon-level cook? Or is my mental quality too poor to bear such a heavy responsibility? Or is it because of the 'curse'?" Liu Maoxing said feeling his own trembling.

"Forget it...it's not important! In short...no matter how much I have to bear, what I have to do now is...to win!" Liu Maoxing opened his eyes suddenly.

At this time, I also heard the master of ceremonies introducing himself and Paul, so we walked onto the stage together with Paul who was across from the venue.

Liu Maoxing can slightly guess what the audience in the audience are talking about now...

It was nothing more than marveling at his youth, and the master of ceremonies seemed to emphasize his "rogue" behavior during the qualifiers just now?

Some people should appreciate his pursuit of cooking!

And...Yesterday Chuangzhen seems to have said that because two groups from Yuanyue College entered the main match, the head coach also fulfilled his previous promise by temporarily arranging some assessment items in New York. All the current students will be picked up, and on the days when there are competitions, you can watch them on the spot!

After all, Yuanyue Academy is very famous this time. Under the environment of "All? Blue", two Yuanyue teams have advanced to the main match, and both teams have students...

Because everyone knows that Liu Maoxing is researching recipes, so yesterday he didn't take the initiative to disturb...

Thinking about it, they are already in a corner of the auditorium, looking at me and cheering for me, right? Liu Maoxing said secretly in his heart.

But these are all guesswork...

The audience off the field should not be aware of any abnormality now, at most they feel that Liu Maoxing is a little nervous.

But Liu Maoxing in the arena, after stepping into the arena, feels that he is completely isolated from the outside world. The sounds and scenes outside are noisy and blurred. Even Liu Maoxing, who has super five senses, cannot explore...

Ling'er told him before that this is how the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" starts!

Erina experienced it once before, but other people couldn't see it.

And now, President Paul, because of the guidance of the "curse", although he is still awake, he just turns a blind eye to the abnormalities around him, and his EQ seems to have dropped a lot. In his eyes, Liu Maoxing can only read the desire for victory ...
