But Erina couldn't do that. Her tongue couldn't support her tasting higher-level flavors. Once her tongue went up, it would be impossible to get it back down.
However, her cooking skills are not up to the level of being able to innovate on the original taste and reach a higher level.
Therefore, in order to maintain a certain degree of low sensitivity on her tongue even after coming into contact with fantasy ingredients, Erina has only tasted dishes below three stars so far.
—This is why her performance was such a mess. Even with ingredients like [Color-Changing Snail] that could maximize her seasoning ability, she couldn't make a four-star dish.
However, she did not indulge herself and pursue higher tastes.
After all, she didn't want to become like her mother, who had to beg for mercy from the bad guy just for her stuttering.
—Yes, she admitted that she liked him a little.
But that was definitely not the reason why she had to bow to him.
As for taking responsibility, she doesn't need it!
She, Erina Nakiri, even if she is really with that bad guy, it can only be me who is on top!
However, when she saw that her mother, who had been vomiting at her cooking, had become a starving ghost after she had just dropped a drop of the [Rainbow Fruit Juice Essence] given to her by the bad guy on the snail, Erina was shocked once again.
So, that bad guy's high-grade ingredients are so powerful? No wonder he's been so lazy all day and looks so listless.
If the quality of the ingredients is so high, it makes the chef's presence seem insignificant.
That really dampens people's enthusiasm!
"Mmm~! So delicious! So delicious!"
Then, while Erina was still thinking, Nakiri Maki had already wolfed down the snail, and then looked at her daughter with shining eyes: "Erina! Did you put something in the snail just now?
This is the high-level fantasy ingredient Alice gave you, right? What is it? Take it out and let me see it!
"Hey! This is it!"
Erina looked at her mother's greedy eyes, opened the small refrigerator helplessly, and took out the original liquid: "This thing was not given to me by Alice, it was given to me by Kobayashi-kun!
I just dropped a drop of the juice of this [Rainbow Fruit] into the snail just now.
How is it? Mother, do you think my dish can win the championship?
"Ohhhhhh~! [Rainbow Fruit]..."
Nakiri Managi's eyes widened, and she drooled as she stared at the tube of rainbow-colored juice. "I want to drink it... I want to drink it... I want to drink it... Erina, you just said that Chef Kobayashi gave it to you?"
"Yeah! He said he was sorry that he made Wan eat the Rainbow Fruit Jelly due to some circumstances. If I can't eat anything because of it, he asked me to use this as seasoning first and then find a solution after he comes back.
But fortunately, my tongue seems to still remain at a relatively low sensitivity level.
So I never used it.”
"Oh! Oh! [Rainbow Fruit Juice Liquid]?!"
Hearing his daughter say this, Nakiri Managi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Very good! Very good! Erina, I'm looking forward to your performance in the competition tomorrow! I believe you will win!"
On the other side, Shinomiya Kojiro tasted Isshiki Hui's cooking, his eyes shining as he slammed his fist on his desk.
"No! There's another person I'm not 100% sure about."
However, in contrast to Shinomiya Kojiro's excitement, Isshiki Hui's face showed no joy at all: "Kobayashi Ryodan! The woman with the same last name as Chef Kobayashi is definitely the most dangerous!"
"Xiaolin Gentian?"
Shinomiya Kojiro looked at Isshiki Hui in surprise: "I thought you would say that the most dangerous one is Ichiki's Si Yingshi! After all, if you refused to cooperate with me, I was actually going to find him to cooperate with me!"
"Pfft! What's so dangerous about that guy? He's just some geek obsessed with cooking! His creed of detaching himself from the world and letting food take center stage on the table alone is enough to guarantee he has a limited potential!"
Isshiki Hui looked a little disdainful at Shinomiya Kojiro's words. "On the contrary, Kobayashi Ryodan is courageous, lucky, and doesn't have any messed-up beliefs. All things being equal, she's definitely the most powerful of the current Ten Elites!"
——【Tokyo Food Agency】——
"You said you wanted to use another [Puffer Whale] to bribe the Ten Elites? How's your plan going? Huh?!"
Still in the dark office, the ghost father's glasses reflected a faint white light as he stared at his subordinate kneeling on the ground.
"Report to the head of the agency! She has already promised us that as long as we are willing to give her a [Puffer Whale], she will support us during the vote for the top ten!"
"Oh?! Is that so?"
Ghost Father's glasses flashed, and his gaze fell on Yao Ge again: "What about you? Chaoyang, how is your detoxification experiment going?"
"Report! Chief, the experiment is not going well. No, to be more precise, there is no progress at all!
At present, most of the death row prisoners sent by the Japanese authorities have died!
But we have now tested out its safe dosage!
The toxin of the puffer whale is extremely toxic, and ingesting more than 50 mg can be fatal!
When Yao Ge was seen, his eyes flickered, and he knelt on the ground and reported the bad news.
"What? You spent so much time and money, and you tell me this is all you found out from your experiments?!"
After hearing Yao Ge's report, Gui Fu's emotional control suddenly collapsed: "If that's the case, then forget it. I won't hold you responsible. How about this! You give the remaining puffer whale to Ikeda, then disband the laboratory, and everyone can go back to their own business!
As for you, take your undercover team and go to Totsuki Academy as a student! If you can't get a spot in the top ten, you know what awaits you! "
"Yes! Chief!"
Without further explanation, Yao Ge silently accepted the order and quietly retreated into the darkness.
"Thank you, Chief!"
On the other side, Ikeda, who was in charge of the rebellion of the Ten Elites, laughed triumphantly in the dark.
This damn guy has finally fallen out of favor, and my good days are coming!
In this way, the day passed quietly, and the next morning, the final test was about to begin.
Chapter 131 Don’t Think of Bankrupting Me
Uh...it feels so dry...my body feels so dry!
It's like being overdrawn.
"Master, he seems to be awake!"
Lin Qingzheng felt like a wrung-out rag, lying wrinkled on the bed, without a trace of energy in his body.
As for the cells in the body, they are like workers who did not receive their salary last month. Each and every one of them has fallen into a state of passive resistance, and even their heartbeats are very weak.
Then, he could feel his consciousness and senses being constantly withdrawn from his body, and only then did he gradually hear someone talking.
“Hungry~…!”
Lin Qing was trying to open his eyes, and immediately felt an indescribable dryness, just like when he woke up after a day and a night of sleeping after staying up all night playing games. The friction between his eyeballs and eyelids made him feel an indescribable soreness.
"Hungry?"
Even with his eyes open, his vision was blurry. Fortunately, his hearing recovered as his eyes opened.
Then he heard a very familiar voice yelling, "Zhenzhenzhen! You old man! What's going on? Didn't you say that he had eaten the [Soap Bubble Fruit] and that there would be absolutely no problem? Why does my apprentice look so uncomfortable?"
"But... maybe it's because the energy reserves in my body are not enough!"
Zhen Zhenzhen was about to cry. He really didn't expect that Yilong, the Plague God, would actually come to Shilin Temple! He had just counted and fed the kid surnamed Lin two soap bubble fruits when the Plague God jumped down from the sky!
He was so frightened that he quickly fed the boy two more fruits and even gave up his meditation room!
What was even more hateful was that when the Plague God saw the pile of rare treasures in his meditation room, he said with a strange smile: "Master Zhen, you have a lot of good things here!"
It's really scary, isn't it? He almost peed his pants!
He had no choice but to let the kid who had eaten four [Soap Bubble Fruits] stay in his meditation room and let his apprentice watch over him while he entertained this plague god outside.
Finally, after all the careful treatment, the kid surnamed Lin finally woke up. And how dare that old bastard Yi Long ask him what to do just because his apprentice had just woken up and was feeling better?!
Damn it, you Yilong are also a peerless master, can't you see that the reason your apprentice is feeling uncomfortable is because he has been in the [self-eating] state for too long, and the ordinary cells in his body have been devoured. The newly generated gourmet cells do not have enough energy reserves and cannot take on the basic functions of the body?
“Hey… hey hey hey…”
Zhen Zhenzhen's face was full of smirk, and he scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "Just...just give him some high-grade ingredients."
"Oh~! High-grade ingredients!"
Yilong had a playful expression on his face: "But I don't have any on hand right now!"
Then just go catch it! As long as you're willing to put in the effort, is there anything in this world you can't catch?!
Zhen Zhenzhen kept complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The reason is simple. Yilong's attitude is very clear. He wants Zhen Zhenzhen to provide the ingredients!
Zhen Zhenzhen was very angry, he really wanted to scold Yilong for his shameless behavior of forcing him to eat for free!
So he spoke righteously: "No? It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! I still have some [Egg Rice] and [Ham Flower] seeds in the kitchen. I'll make him [Egg Rice Fried Rice] later. It will be ready when he finishes eating!"
——About a minute later——
"Come, Qingzheng-kun, it's time to eat! [Egg and Rice Fried Rice]!
Lin Qingzheng was lifted up by a big hand, and a bowl and a pair of chopsticks were stuffed into his hand. Then, Yilong didn't have to worry about what happened next.
As a person living in a captive-eating world, what is the most important instinct?
eat!
In the world of prisoner-eating, you can be illiterate, blind, deaf, or even have no brain and cannot think.
But you absolutely cannot not eat!
Even single-celled organisms have the instinct to eat!
Therefore, even though Lin Qingzheng was extremely weak at the moment, his gourmet cells spontaneously took a breath, squeezed a little gourmet energy from the surrounding air, and drove his body to start eating like crazy.
"So delicious! Another bowl please!"
Naturally, as Lin Qingzheng swallowed a mouthful of fried rice, his body was filled with food energy, and his eating speed began to increase directly. As the food energy in his body increased, the food cells that had originally entered a passive state of slacking began to work.
During this process, his eyes began to regain their sight, his heartbeat became stronger, and his whole body regained its previous strength.
There is only one thing: hungry!
No matter how much he eats, the energy from the delicious food that enters his stomach will be absorbed by the cells like water drops on a dry sponge.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Boy! You've eaten all the [Egg Rice] in my Shilin Temple!"
In this way, I ate from before dawn until eight in the morning.
Finally, even though Yilong was still watching with a smile on his face, holding a bowl, Zhenzhenzhen threw down her shovel and went on strike: "No more rice! I quit! Just kill me! Yilong! You can kill me, or you can destroy our Shilin Temple! But don't even think about eating us out of business!"
"Hey~! Hey hey hey~! Why are you angry? Teacher Zhen? Hey~! Hey~! Hey~!"
Seeing Zhen Zhenzhen angrily throwing down the shovel and walking away, Yilong realized that he seemed to have gone a little too far. He quickly stood up and prepared to stop Zhen Zhenzhen from leaving: "Master Zhen, don't be angry! I really don't intend to do anything to your Shilin Temple! This time, my big purge is aimed at those corrupt elements who have committed crimes under IGO! Although Shilin Temple and IGO are cooperative units, we are just cooperation. You don't have the real power to be corrupted!"
"Humph!"
Upon hearing Yilong's acceptance, Zhen Zhenzhen became even angrier. He pointed a finger at Lin Qingzheng, who was still staring blankly at the bowl in his hand. "Take your apprentice and leave immediately! Get out of here! You asked me to supply Shilin Temple with a jerk who has realized [Shimo], and you still dare to say you don't want to bankrupt our Shilin Temple?!"
"Ah... this... hehe..."
Yilong, whose conspiracy was exposed, scratched his head with an awkward smile, stretched out his hand to grab Lin Qingzheng's arm, and a [Tongtian Chopstick] sent him to the sky. Under his crotch, [Bogasos] flew over and caught the two people, taking them to the nearest city No. 499999.
"Okay, now you're there! I still have to go find my four unlucky apprentices! They're going to cause a scene while I'm gone!"
Then, Yilong left Lin Qingzheng at the station and flew into the sky again on his horse.
Chapter 132 Yilong's Registered Disciple
In fact, on the way back to City Square No. 499999 from Shilin Temple, Lin Qingzheng also asked Yilong why he rushed over.
"I was a little worried that you were being bullied by that old guy, so I came over to check on you."
The warm-hearted old man, nearly five hundred years old, replied, "After all, I told you I'm protecting you! If you have any problems in the future, just say you're my apprentice! I'll teach you some anesthesia techniques later, and then no matter who you meet, you can confidently tell everyone you're my apprentice."
Yes, it was that simple. Lin Qingzheng became President Yilong's registered disciple. - Although he had not yet learned anything from his "teacher".
“Buzz…! Buzz…!”
[You actually became that bastard Yilong's registered disciple? Interesting. Okay, I underestimated you.]
It was very rare that on the way back, Lin Qingzheng actually received an email from Starkin!
Moreover, judging from the tone and wording, the person who sent this email is the president of the Food Club, Sanhu!
