Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi then began to recount her experience in another world. Yan Qing loved hearing this. After all, it was a privilege reserved for special correspondents. Of all the people in the company, and even the billions worldwide, only a hundred or so could have had this experience. Hearing about the other world from a special correspondent was a real honor.

After all, the stock god has to eat every day, so if he wants to make an appointment, he can usually get one. But what about the special correspondents? Outside of some high-ranking employees in the "company," no one else even knows about this group, let alone ordinary people outside.

Cats are very curious, and as a cat girl, Yan Qing is of course curious about everything. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dragged Lin Zhenxi to watch the group time travel. She wanted to try everything she had never seen before.

Lin Zhenxi's journey to another world was so long that she couldn't describe every detail. She could only pick out the important events. But even so, Yan Qing was shocked by the magnificent events that Lin Zhenxi described.

Giants towering into the clouds, towers thousands of meters high, meteorites that easily destroy civilizations, cities submerged by seawater, spaceships covering the sky above the cities, gods standing taller than the planets, these things are things that Yan Qing, who lives in the main world and follows a routine every day, cannot imagine or encounter.

"So, you moved a cubic meter of pure gold?" In the end, he was still interested in money.

Lin Zhenxi nodded, but when she looked around, she found that many people were secretly looking over here. To be precise, they were looking at Yan Qing who was wearing a cheongsam with black stockings and a high slit. She had to give up the idea of ​​opening the space cube and taking out a gold bar from it to show Yan Qing.

"By the way, why are you wearing that? It seems like it's supposed to be a workday now, are you skipping work?"

As he spoke, Lin Zhenxi lowered his hand and pinched Yan Qing's thigh where her stockings and cheongsam met. It was very elastic and felt great. He really wanted to put his hand up and down...

Yan Qing "pia!" knocked away Lin Zhenxi's claws that had already started to move upwards, and a faint cherry pink appeared on her fair face, which made her look even more adorable against the backdrop of her current girlish appearance.

"Don't touch me, it's itchy, you bitch! Seriously, I can't just rest. Besides, there aren't any patients in the placement center right now. Once the lights are turned off, it's as dark as a haunted house. Why would I go to work? So, it's vacation time, meow."

The company's employee benefits are quite high, especially since Yan Qing is the director of the placement center, a high-ranking position within the company, so it's unlikely she'd be short of money. So, Yan Qing's livestreaming during her vacation might simply be a hobby of hers.

Cats, while they'll run away if approached, will meow and provoke the stupid, bipedal big cat if they're at a safe distance. Yan Qing must have been quite happy to be able to tease those strangers online.

"Huh? Not a single one is left. I remember you had dozens of wild cats there before." Lin Zhenxi retracted his hand and became serious.

"That's all old news. At the peak, I had over a hundred Alien Tribe members. Every time I taught them a lesson, the noise gave me a headache. But they were all quite mature and very receptive to time travel. I taught them the language and common sense, and then I sent them all out, meow."

Lin Zhenxi remembered that the "company" had given her a commission to create a Marauder's Map for finding the Alien-Face Tribe, giving her a rare opportunity to earn Contribution Points in the Main World. However, she only knew that the "company" needed the Marauder's Map to find Alien-Face Tribes, but she had no idea how many there were.

"By the way, have those special envoys who went to investigate the world of the Alien Tribe returned? They've been gone for two months now, right?"

"I haven't heard the news, probably not yet, meow."

"Is that so..." Lin Zhenxi felt a little strange. They were going to investigate the situation instead of looking for the time traveler. There should be no risk of getting lost. They could return after the investigation. Why did it take so long?

She had just completed a commission, and it was an urgent and difficult one, but her colleagues hadn't even finished a small investigation mission. This felt a bit bad.

I hope she isn't involved.

The first three main dishes were served very quickly, but they ate even faster. They chatted for a while, but the next dish still hadn't been served. This made Lin Zhenxi, whose mouth was already dry from talking, feel a little confused.

Moreover, the entire hall is now full of diners, and the waitress with long rose-red curly hair has not come out for a long time.

Not only Lin Zhenxi, but other people in the restaurant also felt that something might have happened in the kitchen and started discussing it.

Just when the guests were about to go to the kitchen to see if anything had happened, a very loud gong sound suddenly came from outside the restaurant door, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Then, someone outside was heard shouting at the top of his lungs through a loudspeaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Friends passing by! Congratulations on being chosen as our lucky audience. Today's New Blue City Cooking Championship will be held here!!!"

With a bang, everyone in the hall stood up and began to run out happily. Lin Zhenxi looked at Yan Qing, who had also stood up, and was a little overwhelmed.

"What's going on? Are they all crazy? Yan Miao, are you crazy too?"

"Oh, Maki, you didn't know. Okay, you just got back from a business trip, so you really didn't know. This is the most exciting event in New Blue City recently. The city government has organized a 'Chef Competition' and invited chefs from all over the world to participate. The venue is random every day. We are so lucky to catch it today, meow."

"Eh... is there such a thing?" Lin Zhenxi said in surprise with eyes wide open.

"Well, the Chef God Contest adopts a champion-defending system. The winner of each day will become the champion of the next day, and the selected chefs will become the challengers. Whether they successfully defend the championship or win, it will increase their restaurant's reputation significantly, meow."

"I heard the current champion has been holding the title for several days straight, and he's definitely a god-level chef. And to be chosen by the city government to challenge him, the chef of this restaurant must be quite talented as well. We're in for a treat if we can catch this competition, so let's go, meow."

As she spoke, Yan Qing grabbed Lin Zhenxi's arm and dragged her out. However, they were already a step behind the others, and by the time they were out, the hall was empty.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, the black cat floated over and hung on Lin Zhenxi's shoulder.

Lin Zhenxi walked forward, still asking in confusion: "But what does their competition have to do with us? We are just here to watch the fun, why are you so excited?"

"That's not the same. The MasterChef Challenge has an audience judging phase, and the second round is a big pot meal. Every audience member gets a portion, but if you're late, there won't be any left, meow."

You can still play like this...

Yan Qing knew that Lin Zhenxi really didn't understand anything, so she continued to explain, "The Chef Challenge is divided into three stages. The first stage is the judges' tasting. The judges for each day are randomly selected, but they are definitely big names. The main focus is on the appearance, aroma and taste of the dishes."

"The second stage is the audience tasting. To win the approval of more audiences, we have to produce a large amount of food at the same time while ensuring the taste of the food."

"The third round is a mutual tasting, where each team prepares a dish for the other team, hoping to force them to surrender. Generally speaking, the third round is the most important, as chefs have their own dignity and won't lie against their conscience. As for the first two rounds, they're more important to liven up the atmosphere, get more people involved, and make the competition more controversial and well-known, meow."

"Is that so... It seems that there are capable people in the government who can organize this kind of activity. It's quite impressive." Lin Zhenxi nodded, indicating that he completely understood (bushi).

A successful event must have a clear theme, engaging elements, relevant elements, and strong execution. It now appears that the "Chef's Contest," already highly regarded in New Blue City, a megacity with a population of tens of millions, has undoubtedly delivered a satisfactory performance.

After being pulled out by Yan Qing, Lin Zhenxi was immediately stunned by the scene before her. What did she see? A stadium floating in the sky? At its base, it was covered in colorful banners and giant display panels playing scrolling advertisements. Even in the brightest midday sun, the stadium was a dazzling spectacle.

Even though this gymnasium may not be big, about the size of an ordinary high school gymnasium, don’t forget that it is flying in the sky, which is already very impressive.

Lin Zhenxi continued to look up and found that the gymnasium was suspended by several airships above. It felt like the house suspended by balloons in Up, except that both the balloons and the house were much larger than the ones in the cartoon.

This is a huge investment. No wonder the MasterChef Competition is so famous. The venue used for the competition alone is attractive enough.

Humph, but they are not as powerful as the more than 20,000 3,000-meter-long probes I have in the other world, Lin Zhenxi thought proudly.

Several escalators, each at a nearly 90-degree incline, were protected by a layer of transparent tubing at the bottom of the venue. Lin Zhenxi saw that the escalators were already packed with spectators preparing to enter. The sheer volume made her a little worried about the escalators collapsing under the weight. Ordinary people couldn't survive a fall from such a height. However, if something unexpected happened to this event, it would undoubtedly be undone. Therefore, she could be sure that the escalators had withstood the test daily and were functioning flawlessly.

Needless to say, it must have some black technology that gave it such a strong bearing capacity.
