Food: At the start, fish for Gourmet Food in Totsuki.

But in this era, Lin Yu doesn't need to go to such great lengths. He can just light the fire and control the flame.

The dish Lin Yu was going to make was very simple, which was roasted chicken, similar to the Tianxiong roasted bluefish made by Yakan.

However, Yakan used a secret technique called Tianxiong Flame Wheel, and Lin Yu couldn't use this trick now.

Although he could indeed do this now with the blessing of food and touch, he did not have the right kitchen utensils. In addition, his explosive fire ability was superior to Yakan's.

Yakan uses this trick to prevent the ingredients from being burnt directly by the flames, and allows the heat to cover the fish evenly through rotation, but Lin Yu does not need to go through so much trouble.

With his ability, he can easily control the flames to cover the chicken's body without burning it.

This is the convenience brought by the difference in ability. Of course, in terms of visual impact, Lin Yu's approach is definitely weaker than that of Asian magazines.

As the stove was successfully ignited, Lin Yu controlled the flames in front of him and directly wrapped the roasted chicken on the grill into a fireball.

Although the amount of calories generated by doing this is astonishing, if a normal person does this, by the time the chicken is cooked, the person will be almost cooked as well.

But Lin Yu is not afraid of high temperatures, and such flames do not cause any harm to him.

Although he did not directly touch the roasted chicken, Lin Yu could still sense the condition of the roasted chicken through the grill in his hand. He constantly adjusted the position and temperature of the burning flame.

So much so that in the eyes of everyone, the flames on the surface of the fireball wrapped around the roasted chicken were constantly fluctuating.

The flames at this time were like a cage, completely enveloping the aroma of the roasted chicken, so that the aroma of the roasted chicken could not escape at all.

"It's really convenient to use this ability to grill meat. There's no need to turn the ingredients."

Seeing Lin Yu standing there motionless, everyone who knew the effect of the Explosive Flame ability naturally knew that Lin Yu was not in a daze, but they were still very impressed that this ability was really useful.

For chefs, such an ability is undoubtedly very attractive. Unfortunately, it is a special ability, which can be said to be a talent, so they can only envy it but cannot possess it for themselves.

Not long after, the fireball in front of Lin Yu suddenly exploded, and the scattered flames were like the moment when iron flowers exploded. It was gorgeous and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a strong fragrance swept over. The flame cage was like a fragrance bomb. Now that the bomb exploded, the fragrance naturally spread quickly.

“The sudden burst of flavor creates an impact that makes this dish even more perfect.”

Although this is just a very ordinary roast chicken and doesn't look special, the person who made it is completely different.

Smelling the rich aroma in the air, everyone was looking forward to the taste of this dish.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Lin Yu didn't waste any words. Instead, he took out the Seven Star Knife and quickly slashed across the body of the roasted chicken. Due to the extremely fast speed, everyone only saw flashes of knife light.

Only after Lin Yu retracted the Seven Star Knife did cracks that were difficult to see with the naked eye appear on the roasted chicken.

"It's done, everyone please enjoy it!"

Lin Yu spoke, and after everyone's chopsticks touched the roast chicken, the roast chicken in front of him scattered directly. It must be said that the sharpness of the Seven Star Knife is really terrifying.

"The golden and crispy skin has an excellent texture, paired with the tender and juicy chicken inside. It perfectly avoids the problem of grilled chicken being too dry, and the cooking time is impeccable."

“The sauce and side dishes are a little lacking in flavor, but that’s completely negligible compared to the ultimate taste.”

Nakiri Munee couldn't help but praise.

"Yes, the most important thing about this roast chicken is its taste. If we just talk about taste, none of the roast chickens I've eaten in the past can compare to this."

"Even though it's inferior in other aspects, the merits outweigh the flaws. The quality of this dish should be able to reach the third-rate level."

"Xiaoyu, you've already reached the level of a senior chef in other aspects!"

Dojima Gin also gave his own evaluation.

Chapter 14: Cooking without Mistakes

Lin Yu is now a senior chef, which is recognized by the system. The system's standards for identifying levels are very strict, which means that Lin Yu is destined to become a chef with no shortcomings.

But it’s different in the outside world. The level of a chef is assessed by people, although these people will try their best to ensure fairness and uniform standards.

But people always have preferences, and no matter how much they are controlled, deviations will still exist.

Lin Yu's dish was judged to be third-class, mainly because other aspects held it back. Otherwise, with Lin Yu's cooking skills, let alone third-class, he would have to kneel down even if he was ranked special.

After hearing the comments from Dojima Gin and others, Lin Yu was already very satisfied. After all, it is very difficult to make dishes that surpass one's own level.

In the world of Food Wars, basically every chef has his or her own signature dish. This dish is what they are best at, and they can ensure that there are no mistakes as much as possible or even perform beyond their normal level.

After all, humans are not machines. Even machines can make mistakes, let alone humans. It is not uncommon for a third-rate chef to perform poorly and only make a top-level dish.

The dishes that Lin Yu is making now are not some killer dishes, but they are much more terrifying than those chefs’ killer dishes.

The most important thing is that Lin Yu's sense of touch makes it almost impossible for him to make mistakes.

Even Erina Nakiri has her moments of underperformance. After all, even if she memorizes these flavors, it's not easy to perform them.

On the contrary, Lin Yu's sense of touch can ensure that there are almost no mistakes in the operation, and Lin Yu also has Shiyi. It can be said that for Lin Yu, no matter how many dishes he makes, he can achieve zero mistakes.

"That's right. With the help of my supernatural powers, my cooking skills have improved rapidly. Although other aspects cannot be compared with firework, they have reached a superior level."

Lin Yu nodded. After all, the system recognized him as a senior chef. It could be said that he was definitely the most standard senior chef and there was no way that he would have any problems.

"Sure enough, this ability has been of great help to you. Even though it has just awakened, it has already had such an effect."

Although Dojima Gin was mentally prepared, he still found it incredible.

The improvement brought by Lin Yu's supernatural power is much more terrifying than he imagined.

Although he thought Lin Yu had reached the senior level before, he didn't expect Lin Yu to be so outrageous. He is not just a senior chef, but among many senior chefs, Lin Yu is the top one.

Even if the competition Lin Yu participated in mainly tested the chef's pyrotechnic skills, then even a third-rate chef might not be Lin Yu's opponent.

"Senior Chef, I remember that only the ten best chefs in Totsuki can reach this level!"

Alice Nakiri couldn't help but say that although she had always been in Nakiri International and had never entered Totsuki to study, she was still very familiar with Totsuki's own industry.

Naturally, she also knew the level of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki, so she was a little surprised that Lin Yu was now a senior chef. After all, she and Kurokiba Ryo were still mid-level chefs.

"Yes, the top ten are basically all senior chefs. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, during the golden age, many of the top ten students at that time reached the third-class level before graduation."

Nakiri Munee nodded. Although there were exceptions, they were very rare and the standards of the Golden Age could not be used as a reference.

"Then Lin Yu can already be one of the top ten students?!"

Alice Nakiri couldn't help but speak.

"That's not true. In a pure cooking competition, I don't think anyone among the current Top Ten can compare to Xiaoyu. However, the Top Ten themselves have privileges, and it's not easy to get a seat there."

Dojima Gin shook his head. The current Top Ten are completely different from the Top Ten in their golden age. The Top Ten in the golden age knew their cooking skills very well and were willing to let others challenge them to hone their cooking skills.

Therefore, they did not set any challenge threshold at all. Even though the top ten had very high power, they still ignored it.

But now, the position of the top ten is taken very seriously by people. After all, once you become one of the top ten, in addition to having many privileges on campus, you can also use the privileges of the top ten to do something outside the school.

This is the case with Megumi Tadokoro in the original work. Her special abilities were able to awaken so quickly because she used the authority of the Ten Elites to travel around the world, and her learning scope expanded to the whole world in an instant.

The Ten Best have great power, but it is also very difficult to become one. Normally, if you want to become one of the Ten Best, you have to wait until the third-year students of the senior department graduate.

Otherwise, even if your cooking skills are better, if others don’t compete with you, you still won’t be able to win a place in the top ten.

Therefore, Lin Yu's cooking skills have now surpassed all the top ten, but it is not easy to become one of the top ten, unless there is some idiot who is willing to give up his position in the top ten.

"Forget about the Top Ten. Although there are some privileges, there are too many troubles. I don't want to waste my time on these things!"

Lin Yu also shook his head. To be honest, he didn't really care about the identity of the top ten. The only thing that excited him was the privilege of not having to attend classes.

As for other privileges, he doesn't need them at all. Moreover, becoming one of the top ten means becoming a member of the management of Totsuki. Lin Yu is not good at this and is not interested in it.

Especially now that the system has awakened, all he wants to do is to continuously improve his cooking skills, nothing more.

"Your personality is similar to that of an old friend of mine. That guy also has no interest in power and travels around the world all day long."

Dojima Gin said with a smile, he saw the shadow of his old friend in Lin Yu.

After hearing what Dojima Gin said, Lin Yu naturally knew who he was talking about. Dojima Gin was talking about Yukihira Seiichiro. That guy was indeed running around the world and was known as a wandering chef.

However, it is precisely because he does not care about these things and continues to learn various skills around the world that Yukihira Seiichiro has now become a top chef and stood at the pinnacle of the culinary world.

As for Dojima Gin, although he was not as good as Yukihira Seiichiro at the beginning, he was still able to beat Yukihira Seiichiro in the competition during his student days. Although he lost more times, at least he won, and it was not because Yukihira Seiichiro let him win.

But now, there is a huge gap between the two.

Chapter 15 Tactile Development

"No ambition?"

Upon hearing this, Nakiri Munee frowned. Having no ambition has both advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that you don't have to worry about the other party backstabbing and swallowing you up after they grow up. As for the bad thing, it is that it is more difficult to recruit them. Such people are destined to not be recruited like Dojima Gin, and can only maintain a cooperative relationship like Yukihira Seiichiro.

Of course, Nakiri Munee didn't find it very difficult. After all, although Lin Yu's personality made it impossible to completely recruit him, it was still possible to establish a good relationship with him.

"This test ends here. Regarding your chef level, I will contact the WGO to help you certify it directly."

Nakiri Munee spoke.

"Don't you have to take the test?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu was also stunned. To obtain chef level certification, one needs to go to the WGO branch for assessment, and only after passing can one obtain a certificate.

The certificate issued by WGO is of high value and is recognized by the international culinary community. This is not something that the title of Totsuki graduates can compare to.

The title of Totsuki graduate only holds value within Sakura, but in the international culinary world, a WGO certificate is required.

Lin Yu really didn't expect that Nakiri Munee would skip the assessment process with just one sentence.

"We do have some connections with the WGO. In fact, it's not just us. Many factions don't need to go to the WGO branch for chef certification. Alice and her team have never been there."

"Of course, this doesn't mean all chefs can do this. First-class and special-class chefs must go to the WGO headquarters for certification."

Nakiri Munee said that in this regard, they still have some privileges, not only because of the size of the Nakiri family, but also because the only special executive of WGO is from the Nakiri family.

The WGO is not worried that these people will do whatever they want. After all, given the WGO's status, no force would think of fabricating a bunch of lies that can be easily debunked to put themselves against the WGO.

"That's really convenient!"

While Lin Yu nodded, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that privileges were indeed very useful. Although he didn't want them very much, sometimes privileges could indeed save a lot of time.

Afterwards, Nakiri Munee told Lin Yu about the next tactile development plan. Simply put, it was similar to the process of Erina Nakiri developing her taste.

The reason why Lin Yu found Dojima Gin was also for this purpose. He wanted to use Totsuki's power to help him collect enough ingredients and various seasonings so that his sense of touch could remember these things.

Only in this way can the role of touch be maximized.

Whether it is Lin Yu's sense of touch or Erina Nakiri's super taste, they both require a lot of resource support, otherwise it would be very difficult to develop these two abilities.

After all, without sufficient power and financial resources, it is impossible to collect so many ingredients.

The Nakiri family is also very good at this aspect. After all, the Nakiri family often has the God's Tongue. Although each generation of the God's Tongue has a hard time, their final end is basically quite miserable.

However, the Nakiri family still has a say in how to cultivate the Divine Tongue. Lin Yu's sense of touch is similar to the Divine Tongue in a sense, so past experience can be used to cultivate it.

"So what do I have to give?"

Lin Yu asked, Nakiri Munee had already offered all the benefits, so it was naturally impossible for him to get them for free.

Although Lin Yu knew very well that the next price should be related to the Tongue of God, he still had to ask clearly.

"You don't need to pay anything, just a favor and a friendship are enough."

However, Nakiri Munee's words surprised him a little. Although the debt of favor was the hardest to repay, he basically guessed what the debt of favor was. It must be about the Tongue of God.

As for that friendship, it was a bit empty. It could be said that the Nakiri family gave all these benefits to Lin Yu this time.

After all, for Lin Yu, it would be very easy to solve the problem of the Tongue of God when he grows up, so this favor is very good.

"Let me be frank with you, Xiaoyu. Your future is destined to be bright. As long as your special ability remains intact, you are destined to stand at the pinnacle of the culinary world."

"By that time, even if you don't care about so-called power, these things will inevitably approach you."

"Although my old friend didn't deliberately pursue anything, he has many friends all over the world. As long as he wants power or money, they will come to him."

"Totsuki could indeed offer some chips to you now while you haven't grown up, but this approach is not wise."

Dojima Gin also spoke, and the meaning of his words was very clear. The Nakiri family was not so short-sighted.

Although investing in Lin Yu now can also bring some direct benefits, compared with the future, choosing the present is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do.

"I understand!"

After listening to what Dojima Gin said, Lin Yu nodded. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is true. With the talent he has shown now, it can be said that he is unique in the culinary world.

As long as the people of the Nakiri family are not short-sighted, they will know how to build a good relationship with Lin Yu.

It has to be said that although Lin Yu also knew that this approach was to gain favorability in order to get more in the future, the other party did gain this favorability.
