Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Actually, I still hold a grudge, you actually tasted my golden fried rice..."

"Xiaohui, I actually saw you taking a bath that time, I did it on purpose..."

"Rock Charm, that was my first kiss, but it's okay to forget it afterwards..."

"Little secretary, you have spoiled my good deeds many times, and the last time I asked you why you blushed at the 'Eagle Hand', you still haven't answered me..."

"Alice, you should change your bad taste..."

"Yuanguo, you said you would be able to watch my performance in the final... But, sorry, I might miss the appointment..."

"Subaruen, I hope you will not be expelled until you graduate..."

"Mr. Chapelle, your smile is actually quite ugly, but there is no harm in smiling more..."

"Senior Isshiki, there's nothing wrong with being a mature girl. If that thousand-faced girl can accept your apron play, she can actually consider it after graduation..."

"Ibuzaki, do you still have a relationship with the couple's hairstyle of the Central Gourmet Organization? It is said that she also quit the Central Gourmet Organization recently..."

"..."

...

At the last moment, Liu Maoxing's mind was like a slideshow, showing scenes after time travel.

"Unfortunately, if you know this is the last time, you really want to give me another day... no, an hour is fine, and then I will personally present my cooking to you!" Liu Maoxing said in his heart.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Outside the area of ​​"Dark Cooking Showdown", whether it was Erina who could still see normally, or other people who were influenced by "Dark Cooking Showdown" and had a black and white style, The movements all slowed down.

The tears in Erina's eyes are already clearly visible...

As for the other Yu Mei and the others who didn't know what happened, seeing Erina's appearance and some abnormalities on the field, they also obviously showed anxious expressions.

"Tears? Who would have thought that I would make Erina cry like that bastard Nakiri Tsuji..."

At the same time, the voice of another "Liu Maoxing" came to mind from Liu Maoxing's heart.

"That's right, remember your own origin... Although this sentence is a bit like what A Fei said to me back then... But I also want to leave you with another sentence... The origin of all cooks is to think You must present what is in your heart to the person you care about!"

"Wait... What do you mean leave me a word? Now should be the time for me to leave you a word? You..."

Before Liu Maoxing asked another question, he "saw" in his heart the ball of light incarnated by another "Liu Maoxing", bursting out with dazzling brilliance!

After that, like a shooting star, it flashed across Liu Maoxing's "heart" and plunged into the sun...

"What you said before is correct. Since I have confidence in the 'future', I should also have more confidence in the people in the 'future'... It is not you who should entrust hope and rest by yourself, but me..."

I saw the ball of light plunge into the "sun", and the heart of the "sun" burst out with dazzling light in an instant, as if it had become a real sun!

"That, that is..."

"How can it be?"

"What just happened?"

"Just for a short while..."

Chef Long present all made exclamations of amazement.

Others can't see any abnormalities, but they do!

Just when they thought that it was impossible for Liu Maoxing to defeat Seiichiro, and they were mentally preparing to deal with the subsequent "seafood change", they suddenly saw a "real" sun rising on Liu Maoxing...

That's right, it's the effect of Chu Xin reaching the third stage, Chu Xin almost physically appeared around Liu Maoxing's body!

Even when he was duel with Lin Yi in the morning, Liu Maoxing only used the will fragments he won from other dragon chefs to barely make the strength of "Sun" chef's heart reach the level equivalent to the third stage, but did not really make him It shows up.

But now...

But Liu Maoxing immediately realized that "that person" is the most talented cook after Linger in seven thousand years, and he also has half of the "blessings from all the ingredients in the world" that Linger gave him.

The most important thing is that what "that person" merged into the sun just now was not a fragment of will, but his own soul, even including that half of the blessing.

"You..." Liu Maoxing said in shock.

The other party originally wanted to stop the "catastrophe" and made himself appear in this era that did not belong to him, so Liu Maoxing was not surprised that the other party had this "self-sacrifice" spirit.

The sacrifice of "that one" started a hundred years ago!

But Liu Maoxing was surprised that the most talented dragon chef in seven thousand years actually chose to trust him and bet everything on him at the last moment?

"I will disappear soon, and you will inherit half of the 'blessing' that Master Xu Ling gave me back then, and your 'sun' will remain at the third stage within a day... The future of human beings will be left to you." Here it is for you...the Eternal Lin Sword in front of you...isn't the cataclysm...the end...will...have..."

"What? Wait, you said..."

Just halfway through the question, Liu Maoxing found that the "sun" had completely stabilized, and in his "heart", he could no longer feel any other aura, and even the system had disappeared!

Of course, the current Liu Maoxing no longer needs any system...

In other words, the ability of the system has been truly possessed by him.

For example, the analysis of the recipes of the dishes he has tasted, Liu Maoxing today, with the support of super five senses and the assistance of excellent cooking skills, can do this without a system!

As for the one-time recipes and the effect of improving cooking skills... Now Liu Maoxing, who has perfect basic cooking skills, no longer needs these!

The "system" itself is the combination of the famous chef Liu Maoxing, his own soul and half of the blessings from Ling'er. Now the former has fulfilled the heart of the "Sun" chef, and the latter has completely combined with the current Liu Maoxing himself, accompanying Liu Maoxing. A system that has been around for more than a year has naturally disappeared...

And the feeling of powerlessness in my heart because I tasted Seiichiro's rice noodle dishes before was completely dispelled by the light of the "sun" kitchen heart in the third stage!

Although in this way, Liu Maoxing only had the chance of a "fair fight", but it was enough...

As long as it is not a duel with no chance at all, Liu Maoxing will not feel hopeless, let alone give up.

Especially at the moment when life and death intersected just now, the fear, nostalgia, reluctance, regret that arose in Liu Maoxing's heart... All kinds of emotions also gathered into the power of will!

Just like Liu Maoxing's opponent at the moment, Seiichiro Xinghei, once said: The secret to becoming a good chef is to meet someone who makes you want to dedicate all your cooking to her...

But before Liu Maoxing suddenly discovered that there are many such people.

And at the moment between life and death, Liu Maoxing's "desire" was completely sublimated...

"Very delicious rice noodles, but... there are still people waiting for me who want to show me the dishes I made by myself! Let me take this round happily!"

Accompanied by Liu Maoxing's words, Shura with angel wings beside Seiichiro raised his arms and took half a step back as if his eyes were scorched by the sun...

That's right, the reason why Liu Maoxing was in a predicament before was largely because Seiichiro managed to merge two completely different kitchen hearts into one!

Although "famous chef Liu Maoxing" said to Liu Maoxing before disappearing, he was a little concerned.

It seems that there are other changes in the catastrophe? Isn't the current nakiri thistle the last enemy?

Could it be...as if there is a law, there must be a ninth among the eight legendary kitchen utensils?

Or was it because after Ling'er cast the Ling kitchen utensils, monkeys popped out of the remaining stones? Or was she reincarnated after going to make friends with Langyuan Xianpa?

But Liu Maoxing also knows that now is not the time to think wildly, so he gathers his thoughts and concentrates on the cooking in front of him...

At this moment, under the "irradiation" of the sun kitchen heart, the "source" of all ingredients is stimulated.

As mentioned before, "Sun" kitchen heart is the only known kitchen heart that can be used together with "Yuan Cuisine"!

Because the power of the "sun" kitchen heart comes from the real sun, all ingredients will use the sun directly and indirectly when growing, so the "sun" kitchen heart does not need to use the "source" of the ingredients themselves as a medium.

And now Liu Maoxing is using the power of the "sun" kitchen heart to stimulate the source of ingredients.

Originally, Liu Maoxing used the method of "sacrifice and sacrifice" to select and process the ingredients. The original "source" of the ingredients was very complete. At this time, under the promotion of "sunshine", the "source" of the ingredients appeared to break through itself Limit enhancement...

Although much slower than Seiichiro, Liu Maoxing still delivered his cooking in time before the cooking time ended!

"Welcome to taste my cuisine... well, let's call it 'Love Set'!" Liu Maoxing said to the judges with a smile.

The judges had the urge to burst into tears... Finally someone took care of us!

Since the main match, the atmosphere has been weird. All the players seem to seldom pay attention to them. Most of them put the food in front of them, and then go straight to "love each other" with their opponents without saying a word. kill".

That's right, the reason why Liu Maoxing "talked to" them now is precisely because the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" is over!

After his cooking was finished, of course he tasted it himself first, and prepared a portion for Seiichiro as well.

So this time, after the end of the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", the cooking presentation will be carried out...

The previous few times, because in the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", the style of the judging panel was very chaotic in the eyes of the contestants, of course it was impossible to communicate with them!

As for the result of the "Dark Cuisine Showdown"?

Seeing that Liu Maoxing and Seiichiro were both standing, one could guess it naturally!

Although Seiichiro's face is pale now and he is about to collapse, he finally took advantage of his prime of life and didn't faint like Paul...

And now Liu Maoxing has also temporarily breathed a sigh of relief, although he was still a little concerned because of what the famous chef "Liu Maoxing" said before he disappeared, but at least there will be no danger for the time being!

As for the follow-up to "The Cataclysm"...

The last time was followed up for a hundred years, and this time it might be decades later, so don't think so much for now, right?

After presenting the dishes to the judges with a happy smile, Liu Maoxing put the judges aside again, and walked towards Erina and others who had run to the audience before!

That's right, Liu Maoxing doesn't even care about the result of "All Blue" now...

The judging results of the judges may not be the same as the results of the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", but... so what if you lose?

The big deal is to let the "Seed Team" go to the finals with the "Dragon Chef League Representative Team"!

The end of the "big cataclysm" made Liu Maoxing happy, and he didn't care about winning or losing the game at all...

However, it seemed that the Creator couldn't see Liu Maoxing's happiness, and when he walked towards Erina, he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

First of all, at this moment, Erina stood in the same place with blank eyes and a blank stare. She was completely different from the grief she felt when she thought Liu Maoxing was going to "disappear" before, and the excitement when Liu Maoxing tried to turn the tide...

Secondly, Liu Maoxing also saw Linger...

Not in Erina's heart, nor in any other parts, but just standing behind Erina majestically like this!

And what Liu Maoxing cares about is that Ling'er is also expressionless now!

What made Liu Maoxing even more nervous was that the fluorescent light that normally glowed on Linger's body had disappeared, replaced by strands of sticky black mist that wrapped around Linger's body, and even continuously gushed out from her white robe. out……

When Liu Maoxing received half of the "blessing", he knew that the original fluorescence on Ling'er's body was just a kind of "blessing".

Now if Liu Maoxing wants to, he can turn himself into a light bulb...

However, the "blessing" on Ling'er is completely covered up by another power!

This replacement power also has a feeling familiar to Liu Maoxing, that is... a curse!

That's right, the curse power on Ling'er is so huge that it far surpasses other "Dragon Chefs".

Even Ling'er has lost consciousness, and I don't know if it's because of the curse, Ling'er actually appeared in the third stage?

And as Linger's host, Erina was undoubtedly affected...

"Erina! That's it? Wake up and look at me!" Liu Maoxing ignored the competition, jumped off the field, and said while patting Erina's face that seemed unchanged.

"Flesh charm, little secretary, Xiaohui...how can you..." Liu Maoxing shook the people beside Erina again.

"Us? What's wrong with us?" Fei Shazi looked at Liu Maoxing suspiciously, but turned a blind eye to Erina's strange behavior!

Liu Maoxing has already noticed that the power of the curse has begun to spread...

Although only Ling'er and Erina were completely controlled, but at the same time, the other people around her were obviously not normal!

Otherwise, Fei Shazi would see Erina's abnormal state, but have no reaction at all?

The influence of the curse on other people... In fact, Liu Maoxing had suspected this before.

Even if other people couldn't see the abnormality that happened during the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", didn't anyone notice the abnormalities in the dragon chefs who confronted him and Erina?

The boss of the Brahman Tasting Association suddenly became self-willed in the team competition, and no other players and colleagues persuaded him? Didn't you find that he was no longer able to communicate?

So Liu Maoxing has always suspected that the influence of the "curse" is not limited to Chef Long, but it has a relatively small impact on other people, that is, it makes other people subconsciously regard the behavior of Chef Long under the control of the "curse" as reasonable !

But now this "curse" has begun to intensify!

Although Liu Maoxing didn't know what happened, but combined with the last words of the famous chef "Liu Maoxing", he could guess something...

It seems that Linger's seal was not as simple as she said...

Maybe it was to let Liu Maoxing and Erina deal with the curse of the "first paragraph" with peace of mind, or maybe it was because something happened to Linger herself, and she didn't realize the change of the "curse"!

Liu Maoxing was more inclined to the second guess.

It seems that the curse is not limited to the other six Long Chefs, Linger herself is also affected by the "curse"!

Just after the "curse" originally scattered on the six dragon chefs was broken, it seemed that a terrible switch was turned on, and all the power of the "curse" was concentrated on Ling'er...

In fact, Liu Maoxing's guess is already very close to the truth.

A hundred years ago, when "Liu Maoxing" discovered Ling'er, she was possessed in the "Jade Dragon Pot with Dragon Patterns". The impact is the greatest!

At that time, "Liu Maoxing" and Lan Feihong teamed up with Linger, who was in a state of remnant soul, to conduct a "dark cooking duel". After the draw, the latter regained his senses...

Because Lan Feihong forcibly intervened in the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" and had a "2vs1" with "Liu Maoxing", he also suffered the backlash of the "Dark Cooking Showdown" and was seriously injured. Therefore, only "Liu Maoxing" and Ling'er were involved in the following matters. Raise money!

The compensation method of Ling'er and "Liu Maoxing" is only a tactic to delay the attack. Although Ling'er has been transferred to the "Phoenix Pattern Jade Dragon Pot", if all the outbreaks of the first stage of the "curse" are stopped, or one of them succeeds , Ling'er will be controlled by the "curse" again, which will trigger a complete outbreak of the curse...

Even Ling'er doesn't know this, because the curse affects people's thinking. In order to suppress it as long as possible, Ling'er also sealed this part of her memory!

What Liu Maoxing will face now is the strongest side of the "curse"!

"You won, right? Then how about the finals starting soon? It's just... me... and you!" Erina said expressionlessly.

At this moment, Ling'er and Erina had merged into one again, and there were bursts of black energy that only Liu Maoxing and other Long Chefs could see, making Erina look like a witch!

"I think it's okay!"

"Yes, I think so too..."

"Early finals? Sounds good!"

"Secondary... The judges have already recommended Liu Maoxing to enter the finals..."

"Early finals!" "Early finals!" "Early finals!"...

"Leader duel!" "Leader duel!" "Leader duel!"...

Whether it was the audience, the organizer, or the judges, they all echoed Erina's nonsense suggestion.

Seeing Erina's nonsense words, Liu Maoxing actually resonated quickly, and couldn't help but understand: it seems that the influence of the "curse" is stronger this time.

As if immersed in some kind of cult ritual, the audience on the field began to collectively boo, clamoring for the "final" to begin immediately!

"what happened?"

"It seems to be the power of the 'curse'... doing everything possible to promote the holder of the last 'Jade Dragon Pot with Dragon Pattern', and the holder of the 'Jade Dragon Pot with Phoenix Pattern' as the carrier of the curse, to carry out the 'darkness' Cooking showdown'!"

"How could this be... I thought it was over! What now?"

Now there are only a few dragon chefs who have not been affected by the "curse"!

Their own targeted "curse" has been purified, and now it is only a large-scale influential "curse", which has no effect on them.

Chefs Long, who felt something was wrong, rushed to Liu Maoxing's side at this time...

I saw Lin Yi put down the phone at this moment and said: "Crazy, all crazy! Not only on the field, I just called the people from the American Development Association, and they actually said that they want to add a final temporarily... add one Finals? Do they know what they're talking about!"

At this moment, Liu Maoxing calmed down, and immediately said to the other dragon chefs: "It's not the time to discuss whether they are crazy or not...the 'curse' cannot be avoided! If this is the case...then it's time for the 'finals'!"

"What about the topic and ingredients?" Paul asked.

"The title... just use all the ingredients left on the field!" Erina said suddenly.

At this moment, Erina was no longer expressionless, and seemed to have gotten used to it. Instead, she looked like a female boss or a female devil, with black mist pouring out of her eyes!

"Wait! If the remaining ingredients are divided into two, it will not be enough for five people..."

"Then there is no need for five people." Erina said with a trembling expression.

Well, under the influence of the "curse", the judges actually followed suit...

Liu Maoxing couldn't help asking Erina: "Are you now... Are you Erina? Or Linger?"

"Is there a difference? I'm just your opponent." Erina said, and stepped forward to pick Liu Maoxing's chin with her fingertips, as if she had awakened an unknown personality.

"..."

"Is it really okay? Now she is not your little girlfriend?" Paul reminded from the side.

"Don't worry." Liu Maoxing also realized that his "opponent" now is not Erina who has not yet become Chef Long, but the combination of Erina, Linger, and "curse"!

It is equivalent to the enhanced version of the first legendary dragon chef in human history seven thousand years ago, standing in front of me!

But this character...whether it is the reason for the "curse" or Linger's true nature is exposed, Liu Maoxing does not know.

At this moment, some staff members had already entered the stage, and they divided all the remaining ingredients into two parts, preparing them for the "finals" later on. The live broadcast staff also contacted their respective TV stations Let's extend the rebroadcast time...

Because of the guidance of the curse, at this moment, everyone thinks that the current behavior is "normal"!

"Wait! You put the rice I just cooked back. Can the white rice be counted as an ingredient? Give half to her and leave the other half to me!" Liu Maoxing suddenly shouted to the staff.

"Huh? What do you want leftovers for? Isn't there some leftover rice? It's already cooled down..." Paul said immediately.

"No, I don't think it's cold enough..."

On the other hand, Chuangzhen and the little secretary on the side, although affected by the "curse", thought that the finals were about to be a very normal thing, but their rational thinking ability was still there. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little familiar...

"Ah Xing, you don't mean to..."
