The Counterfeit Little Master of the Halberd
Chapter 387: Unexpected Visitor
The biggest news of the year, in the second game of the New York "All? Blue" race, the "Germinate team" upset and defeated the "Michelin Gourmet Federation Team"!
What is even more shocking is that in the individual competition, the 16-year-old leader of the "Germinate Team" Liu Subaru, actually defeated Paul, the president of the "Michelin Food Federation"...
Although it was confirmed after the game that Paul’s body was in ill health, many media described Paul as almost exhausted, and he seemed to be killed if he didn’t get rescued in time, but in order to face off against the young people he was optimistic about, he still played firmly. ...
But it was this kind of argument that at least allowed ordinary people to accept the fact that Paul was defeated.
In the individual match between "Germinate Team" and "Michelin Gourmet League Team", Liu Pleiades scored one point, Shimiya Kojiro scored one point, and Kanhyugako was defeated by another Michelin-chosen chef. hand.
In the individual competition, the "Germinate Team" actually led by 2:1...
Immediately after the team competition in the afternoon, the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation Representative Team" announced its abandonment, and the "Germinate Team" directly advanced.
The abandonment of the "Michelin Food Federation Representative Team" was actually expected by many people after the individual competition in the morning.
After all, Paul’s state is obviously unable to continue to compete, and the seven members of the "Michelin Food Federation Representative Team" are also Paul, three chefs who are preparing to participate in the individual competition, and four who cooperate with Paul tacitly. Kitchen worker composition.
If Paul can’t compete, then the other two chefs and the four chefs will have no tacit cooperation...
Even if they forcefully participate in team competitions, this kind of hard-cooked team, competing with chefs of the same level, is just to make people laugh.
The most important thing is that even if the "Michelin Food Federation Representative Team" advances, Paul's situation may have to miss the next game. Since he can't win the championship, then for the "Michelin Food Federation Representative Team", there is no more competition. significance……
So in the afternoon, Paul, who was recuperating, announced his retirement in the hospital bed.
And it is noteworthy that Paul also specially invited Liu Subaru to visit afterwards. Everyone guessed that while President Paul was really optimistic about Liu Subaru, he also admired Paul's mind...
But I didn't know that after Paul let others leave the ward first, what happened with Liu Subaru, if it came out, would immediately panic the world!
After the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" was divided, the curse in the "Greed Pot" was purified. Because of the guidance of the "Curse", the many violations that Paul had neglected before 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 the Dragon Chef who had seen strong winds and waves, so he didn’t mess around. Thinking of Liu Subaru’s performance at the time, he seemed to know something, and judging from the sudden fighting spirit against Liu Subaru in his heart at that time, it all showed that Liu Subaru should In this "vision", played a special role.
And Liu Subaru found that except for the weak body of President Paul, the others have returned to normal, and he still remembered the previous events. After thinking about it, he also informed him of the "catastrophe".
After all, Paul is the president of Michelin, and he can tell how to deal with this kind of news without worrying about the spread of panic.
The most important thing is that Paul now recalls what happened before. If he had to lie forcibly, he might be alerted and think more about it. It would be a futile thing.
Instead, I told him directly that I believe that as the president of the Michelin Food Federation, I can tell the importance!
"...That's it, do you understand?"
"Can I say that I don't understand at all? Or you tell me, are you kidding me?" Paul smiled bitterly
"No, with your wisdom, I think as long as you face the reality, you will definitely understand." Liu Subaru did not give him a chance to pretend to be a fool.
"If it weren't because I still remember some of the previous things, I would definitely not believe what you said... Do the people in the Dragon Chef Alliance know?" Paul obviously also thinks that Liu Subaru is related to the guys in the Dragon Chef Alliance from the name. abnormal!
"They don't know, besides me, there is another owner of'Jade Dragon Pot', Urina, only you and our commander know." Liu Subaru said.
"Because... can't be known by'us'?" Although Paul was nearly sixty years old, he was still very quick in his brain, and he immediately reacted.
"Yes, if the Dragon Chef who has been affected by the'curse' knows about it, it may push the situation in a more unpredictable direction."
"Can I help you?"
"In fact, there is nothing, pay attention to confidentiality, and in southern Africa, try to pay more attention to it, but don't be discovered by other people. In addition, it is this competition... The Naginari thistle of the American Cuisine Development Association originally looked unpleasant to me. , Because of the curse, I am afraid this reaction will increase..."
"Asshole of the American Cuisine Development Association! Speaking of which, they also prepared a fake "Jade Dragon Pot"?" Paul was furious when he heard the name of the American Cuisine Development Association.
At the beginning, it was the "Michelin Gastronomy Association", which was the first to agree and advocate the "American Cuisine Development Association" as the organizer of the "The Blue".
This year was supposed to be the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" hosting "The? Blue"...
But because of the 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 hopes that Michelin will help the American Development Association to complete this approach.
Since it is no longer possible to fully expand the Americas into Michelin's area of influence, it would be nice to take the opportunity to win a hard-core ally for yourself!
Later, the American Development Association did not let him down, and turned "The? Blue" into "All? Blue." Although there were reasons why the dragon chefs were affected by the "curse" and collectively brainstormed, the American Development Association finally I won the right to host, but it was before the curse...
Paul also lamented that the people of the American Development Association were lucky, and they found something so important to the Dragon Chef Alliance.
But now that he knows that the "Jade Dragon Pot" is fake, Paul is also the most angry!
Because if this kind of thing is exposed, the Michelin Gastronomy Federation, which initially supported the American Development Council, will not be directly involved, but its credibility will also be questioned!
Paul’s current thoughts are probably: Of the three major cooking organizations, I am the only ally, but in the end you came to bet on my reputation?
Of course, Liu Subaru believes that the senior executives of the "American Cuisine Development Association" should not know, at least a large part of them did not know, it was a desperate effort by Naginaki thistle...
After all, in his mind, whether the credibility of the American Development Association or Michelin, if it is for his own ideals, they can all be used as a bargaining chip.
But Pleiades Liu still has to admire Paul's heart.
I just learned about the "Cataclysm", but I still have the heart to feel angry and dissatisfied with the "American Cuisine Development Association"...
After leaving Paul's dedicated ward, Liu Subaru returned to the hotel prepared for the players during the "All? Blue" period.
On the way, Yuuhime and others also called and asked him to join the evening "celebration party". The location was the room of Nakamarui Zenji, another hotel booked by Tomotsu, two blocks away...
"Let's celebrate again after I win the Erinai competition tomorrow." Liu Subaru replied.
It’s not about how much attention is paid to "All? Blue". If there was no "catastrophe", Liu Subaru would go with them in all likelihood...
"Eh? Is that so... OK! I will wait for you in Marui's room tomorrow. Let's celebrate by ourselves today!" Yuuhime said.
Sure enough, even if Liu Subaru, the protagonist of the celebration, is not present, it does not affect them from holding the "Celebration Party"...
After Liu Subaru returned to the hotel, he unexpectedly didn't go to Erina, but went directly to the cooking room!
Regarding the fact that the Dragon Chefs can fully exert the effect of "cursing the kitchen utensils", Liu Subaru called to inform Erina after the game ended.
As for now... Erina should be still in the cooking room, right?
Liu Subaru just notified Erina of the news of his victory and the possible situation of his opponent, without disturbing her.
Because Liu Subaru can guess, Erina must also be doing everything he can to prepare tomorrow's recipe, so he didn't even watch his own game.
"I can't be idle either!" Liu Maoxing muttered.
Although Pleiades Liu does not know the topic of the next game, or even who his opponent will be next time, Pleiades Liu also does not intend to waste any time.
After discovering that Paul could use the true power of "cursing kitchenware", Liu Subaru knew that these "final duels" would be more difficult than imagined...
The victory over Paul this time can be said to be the time, place, people and everything. Compared with Paul, Pleiades Liu has all the advantages to narrowly defeat the opponent.
Even so, the score is only "4:1". You must know that in a game of this nature, as long as it is not a one-sided result, it can almost be said to be "evenly matched"!
And for Liu Subaru, he has found that when he was on the field this time, other dragon chefs were sitting in the audience seat below.
This is the first time that Pleiades Liu has appeared in front of other dragon chefs after he has the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot". It is conceivable that they will not directly jump over, but in their thinking, they must have regarded Liu Subaru The enemy, the Dragon Chef who will face him in the future, will definitely get serious, it is impossible to be as careless as Paul...
But there is also good news, that is, during the previous match with Paul, Liu Subaru's matchup was successful, and the effect was better than Liu Subaru had imagined!
It is estimated that even Ling'er doesn't know how much benefits can be gained by activating "Mingming Cooking" against a dragon-level cook and defeating it.
After all, in the popular era of "Simulation Showdown", no dragon-level cooks existed. When the first dragon-level cooks appeared 7,000 years ago, mankind was already on the verge of life and death, and everyone had the possibility of expanding their recipes. The high-level chefs of this country are precious wealth of mankind, and it is impossible to launch a "fighting duel".
And although some people in later generations have discovered some scattered inheritances of "Final Duel", and the situation is no longer so dangerous, it is not easy for a dragon-level cook to appear...
Except for the situation that Liu Subaru is forced to a dead end this time, otherwise, the chef below the dragon level will not try to launch a "fighting duel" against the dragon level chef, and after Linger seals the "cursed kitchenware", the whole world There are very few cases where two "dragon chefs" appear at the same time.
Even if it appears, it is usually separated from the south and the north, and usually not in a culinary civilization.
In the age when most of human civilization has been lost, this also means that even if two dragon chefs appear, they may not see one side in their lifetime.
Even if they meet, how likely is it that at least one of them will understand the "fighting duel"?
Even if one party knows the "fighting duel", but they are already at the peak, what are the chances that they have to find another peak?
Therefore, Liu Subaru estimated that he should be the first cook who defeated Chef Dragon in the "Final Showdown"!
The next time you meet Ling'er, Liu Subaru can also brag about it. Although Liu Subaru's "No. 1" contains far less gold than Ling'er's "No. 1," it can be said at any rate?
At least Liu Subaru has discovered because of this, what will happen after launching a "fighting duel" against a dragon chef!
The gain is far more than that of Carlo, who is second only to the dragon class, launching a "fighting duel" and succeeding... No, to be precise, the two are no longer the same meaning.
In a cooking showdown, the chef’s will affects the ingredients or himself, but also part of it. Whether it’s material cooking or spiritual cooking, in a successful cooking, the chef puts his will into his will. But for a cook who is good at material cooking, the object of will is himself, and for a cook who is good at spiritual cooking, the will is used to change the source of ingredients.
The principle of "fighting duels" is that after winning, it can absorb the will of the opponent.
Although you can’t directly use the will of other people for your own use like the "Beiming Divine Art" in martial arts novels, you can use this part of the will as a "textbook" to learn slowly...
However, judging from the results of the previous "fighting duels", this part of the "textbooks" is bound to be scattered, but after defeating Paul, Liu Subaru's gains are completely different!
Although in terms of "quantity", the gains from the victory over Paul are only slightly more than after the victory over Carlo, but the will is very complete!
The former is like a detailed idea of a classic example question for the college entrance examination, while the latter is equivalent to tearing up the "five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation", and then picking up the amount of "one question"...
Compared with the former, the latter is more suitable for mutual verification with your own 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 playing boss and explosive equipment, Carlo is the material that explodes a place, but you can’t make a piece of equipment with these materials. You have to exchange it with others and buy blueprints to play their role. Paul directly exploded a piece of superb equipment!
Obviously these two can play completely different roles.
Because Liu Subaru was not going to look for Erina before the game tomorrow, so he didn't ask Ling'er why, but Liu Subaru himself can guess something...
Probably because after the chef reaches the dragon level, there is an essential gap between the chef and the chef below the dragon level.
No matter how close it is to the dragon level, there is a difference between "completed" and "uncompleted" with the dragon level.
That is to say... the will of the dragon chef is integrated, even if only a part of it is intercepted, its integrity cannot be destroyed!
It’s like just sticking several kinds of plasticine together, just grab a piece, it may be any color, or it may have several colors, but if you knead the different kinds of plasticine thoroughly, then pull it off later One piece... Although it seems to be a color that affects your appetite, if it is really true, it is definitely a combination of all colors.
Now that I have had enough of the incomplete version, Liu Maoxing, who has to compile and interpret the "five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation" by himself, directly picked up the sample analysis and started a new round of impending grind...
Early the next morning, Yuanyue's students were in the audience watching the match between the "Seed Team" and the "Brahman Tasting Association Team". Yuuki looked around for a long time, but did not find Liu Subaru, so she couldn't help but wonder: " What's the matter with these two people? I didn't see Koerina yesterday... Could it be a quarrel?"
"A Xing said he would stay for practice today, time is running out," Chuang Zhen said.
"Then why didn't you practice?"
"The Sigong seniors have all come to watch the game. It's useless to practice with Subaru and myself?"
Indeed, Chuangzhen and Misaku Subaru only have the opportunity to play in team competitions, and they are not eager to practice personally, so naturally they will not miss the game!
In fact, in the eyes of other players...
Contestants, which cooking skill is not the result of more than ten years or decades of hard work?
What is the effect of just practicing this day?Come and see if the cooking skills of other excellent chefs are not good?
They naturally can't understand how urgent Liu Subaru is now. This is not a question of not being able to win the championship... and even more can't understand that Liu Subaru's current sharpening of the sword has "teaching materials"!
And whether it is Erinai or Pleiades Liu, the reason why they will not enter the game unless they compete, there is also the most important reason, which is to minimize the cancellation of other dragon chefs.
According to Linger's analysis, based on the current curse's impact on the dragon chefs, when directly competing with Liu Subaru or Erina, the "dark cooking showdown" will inevitably be launched and bet on human recipes...
At the same time, if Liu Subaru or Erina is too close to other dragon chefs, it may directly cause the dragon chef to lose his personal consciousness and forcibly launch the "dark cooking showdown"!
When Liu Subaru went to see Lin Yi and Seiichiro in private before, it was true that after Liu Subaru talked with them for a while, they began to show signs of absent-mindedness, and if anything, they would lead the topic in the direction of "Testing Liu Subaru's cooking skills". .
You must know that Liu Subaru had not obtained the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot" at that time!
If it is now, once the distance is too close, Liu Subaru suspects that the opponent will directly launch a "dark cooking showdown" instead of just being "cursed" to guide his thinking.
So yesterday, in the game, after Pleiades Liu won, he immediately left the scene, and then went to visit Paul, not only to avoid reporters, but also not to be bumped by other dragon chefs.
Otherwise, not only may the "dark cooking showdown" be carried out without equipment, but it is also very likely that ordinary people will notice the abnormality and cause panic.
"Erina has already started the competition at this time? The Brahman possesses the "Turning Dragon Pot". If it does not fully function and uses the body directly, it can accelerate the fermentation of the ingredients. When it is fully functioning, not only can Instant fermentation, but also able to guide the direction of fermentation with personal will... I don't know if Erina will meet him in the individual competition or will drag him to the team competition."
Liu Subaru couldn't help but put down the kitchen knife, tumbling about Erinai in his heart...
Although I want to concentrate and understand that my worry is a waste of time, I still can't help myself. It is estimated that Erina was in this state yesterday morning, right?
"You can't concentrate when cooking, but it's a big taboo for the chef!"
Suddenly a voice came from the direction of the door of the cooking room behind him. After Liu Subaru heard it, his hair on his body went upright and almost jumped.
Although I was really distracted just now, the people who entered the cooking room without notice by Liu Subaru, who has super five senses, definitely exceeded the scope of "ordinary people"!
More importantly, the moment Liu Subaru heard this voice, he distinguished the identity of the other party...
"Master, master... Why didn't you go to the competition site!" Liu Subaru's tone was obviously nervous and alert.
Usually, the players of other teams will not appear in the cooking room of the players of other teams due to the consideration of "melon field and plums"!
Even if Xie Yunlong doesn't care about this, he should be a spectator on the field at this time...
"Looking at your performance, I know that the old man is clearly here." Master Jie's words made Liu Subaru more and more uneasy.
"Ahem, I just remembered something. You don't have important things, so I won't accompany you for now."
When Master Jie was in Hokkaido, he also helped himself a lot, and in the "God Cooking Showdown", Liu Subaru was regarded as a god assist teammate, but now...Liu Subaru has to be rude!
Seeing Liu Subaru talking, he had already aimed at the window next to him, and Xie Yunlong couldn't help but said, "No, I think my business is more important... Is there a problem with the legendary kitchen utensils?"
Hearing what Xie Yunlong said, Liu Maoxing understood that the oldest dragon chef in existence (Ling'er is not counted as existing) had discovered something, but he didn't have any excitement in his heart, because according to Ling'er, they knew what happened. The truth will only complicate the impact of the "curse" on him...
What puzzled Liu Subaru a little is that at least now Master Jie doesn't seem to be too abnormal.
But at this moment, Xie Yunlong took off the toad sunglasses of the same style as Guixianren, and saw that he is now a "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 shocking is that the eyes are already bulging with bruises, and there seems to be an earthworm still wriggling underneath!
"I think there are some things, it's better to solve it while the old man is still awake!" Master Jie's voice, as if trying to control his emotions...
