Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

".The light of thunder descended, and all things were extinguished; the heaven and earth bowed down above the clouds,

Facing such an existence beyond common sense, what exactly were you thinking when you decided to face Thunder, my friend. "

He looked down at the dimmed and faded Eye of God in his hand.

At the moment when General Lei Dian slashed down with his sword, there was nothing else in Wan Ye's ears except the thunder.

Recalling my own hasty escape from that country, I still cannot imagine what courage my friend had to make such a decision.

".I heard that the winner of this competition will be blessed by the gods. I wonder which god high in the clouds can easily bring about such incredible changes."

Where will he go from now on? Why did he snatch the Eye of God after escaping from Inazuma?

In the eyes of outsiders, Wan Ye always looks calm and composed, but in fact, he is a little confused.

Standing quietly on the bow, Manye looked at the quiet ocean in the distance and the unprecedentedly lively atmosphere in the port city.

He fell into deep thought because of the attitude of the Liyue people towards the gods, and the atmosphere when facing the gods, which was completely opposite to that of Inazuma.

On the other side, the main venue of Yujingtai.

“.Congratulations to all the contestants for qualifying for the finals. Considering the special significance of this event, I will now announce the theme of the finals of this food conference.”

Under the astonished gazes of the people, Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars and ranked as "Tianquan", slowly walked down from a height.

Not only will he serve as the referee himself, he will also make a rare appearance in the center of the venue to give the opening speech.

Suddenly I realized that there seemed to be a lot of "big shots" present today. Looking at "Yu Heng Xing" who was also one of the judges,

People and players from various countries have also come to realize that the "gods" watching over this competition may not be an exaggeration.

"."

".From ancient times to the present, food has been the most important thing in life for the people of Liyue.

The pursuit of delicious food by the ancestors of Liyue has also been going on for 3,700 years.

Looking back, even in the most difficult environment, our ancestors never gave up this persistence, but injected hope and expectation into food, using it as a force to inspire others, waiting for the dawn in the darkness.

“Therefore, the significance of food to Liyue is not just about technique, it is also a kind of inheritance that comes from the bloodline.

On this occasion of the Lantern Festival and family reunion,

The competition does not intend to restrict the performance of each player.

Therefore, I hope that you can choose the three dishes that have left the deepest impression on you, that you are best at, and that have the most special meaning to you, and interpret your understanding of the word "delicious food" in your own way. "

Following Ningguang's speech, after hearing this extremely special and almost unlimited rule, the originally noisy venue quickly fell into silence.

It's not just the many Liyue chefs who were eliminated before.

Even ordinary Liyue residents can tell from the expressions on their faces the importance of the word "food" in Liyue.

Amid the expectation of the crowd, Ningguang continued to read out various detailed rules and supplementary regulations.

When all the precautions have been introduced,

Before the competition began, the "Tianquan" star, who is regarded as aloof by the public, also pointed out the biggest difference between this competition and previous food competitions:

“The theme of this event is “Kitchen Heart”.

The judging criteria for dishes will be different from the past. The difficulty of the dishes will not be considered alone.

The most hard work is shown in the ordinary things, and the most thoughtful things can reach the gods. In this competition, even the most homely and ordinary dishes still have the potential to win the championship."

"."

After hearing this, the contestants and the public were all thinking about it.

But judging by the expressions on their faces, they obviously just regarded this as some kind of score correction and would not really serve some home-cooked dishes in such a finals occasion.

"--Finally, a portion of the contestant's dish will be offered to the gods who are watching this place.

Even if the judges' scores are not high, those who are "heartfelt" will have the opportunity to receive the blessing of the gods, so please consider this theme seriously. "

"."

"."

It was as if the content was too subversive, so no one could react for a moment to what Ningguang had said, and both the audience and the players fell into silence.

!!!

But soon,

Many of the unregistered and eliminated candidates suddenly stood up from their seats as if they were stimulated, and then began to beat their chests and stamp their feet.

Amid the exclamations of many spectators, the eyes of the remaining professional chefs on the field also lit up, revealing unprecedented surprise expressions:

——This is a once-in-a-century opportunity to actually let the gods taste your food.

Even putting aside the rewards, for all chefs, such an experience is the most coveted achievement in all of Teyvat!

Even if they didn’t get the blessing in the end, as long as they participated in the finals, their younger generations in the future, even several generations later, might still mention their glory today.

——And if they could get a blessing that symbolizes the approval of the gods, then perhaps their names would be left in the history of Liyue’s many cuisines!

For a while, just because of the words "the dishes will be offered to the gods",

The enthusiasm of both the audience and the contestants reached its peak in an instant.

It was like a flame that completely ignited the atmosphere at the scene, and the originally uncertain expectations instantly became reality.

With the resonance of many chefs and audiences, the unique power of the word "food" has become unprecedentedly strong.

".Well, that should be about right.

This concentration of wish power is enough to unseal the statue and help Guoba recover a little bit."

It was moved to the Guoba statue above the stadium.

Lin Feng, who covered the entire Liyue Harbor with authority and directed his willpower into the Guoba statue, nodded in satisfaction at the effect that even exceeded his expectations.

Unaware that what he had done had caused a young man from the Kaedehara family in Inazuma to develop PTSD,

Actually, what Lin Feng did was just to give some of the things that the gods present had no use to Guoba who needed them.

——The beliefs and emotions of the people of Teyvat are powerful.

Efficient use of faith is not only one of the ways for the throne to ensure that its ruling power is stronger than that of ordinary demons. Even the Cardinal of Fontaine's Oracle Judgment uses similar means to convert energy.

Although he has never liked this kind of power that is greatly affected by the outside world, so now that he has two ancient dragon powers, he only regards this thing as a bonus,

But for Guoba, who was not one of the seven rulers and had not been worshipped by the people for hundreds of years,

Even if it is just the emotions and beliefs gathered in a short period of time, this power is still not small.

Such a lot of belief in "delicious food" is enough to restore most of the strength of the now weak "Demon of the Stove".

Once again, I feel that the gap between gods may be greater than that between humans and gods.

A tiny amount of faith power that is insignificant to the Seven Rulers can have such an effect on Guoba.

Lin Feng also expressed his heartfelt contempt for a drunkard who had been sitting on the church's faith for thousands of years but still cried and begged for food and drink every day.

He shook his head, temporarily putting his thoughts aside, and saw that the finals below had officially begun.

He also left the statue that was moved to a higher place and decided to return to Undinahida and Ruota and began to think about what kind of blessings these gods would give.

Chapter 316 Xiao: Excuse me, I'm leaving now

At the same time, on the south side of Guiliyuan, between the barren mountains.

The figure of a young immortal quietly appeared on the top of a mountain, accompanied by the overflowing wind elemental power.

Although Xiao had received the token from the traveler before, he did not know why the Emperor wanted him to come to Liyue Harbor during the Lantern Festival.

But Xiao, who had nothing to do recently and had come here a while earlier, was silent for a while in the barren mountains.

I decided to wait for a while and then go check out the foot of Tianheng Mountain in the distance, where the largest number of people gathered.

the other side.

The highest point of Yujingtai, in the center of the competition venue.

While many contestants were still racking their brains to think about what kind of dish would be considered "the most special",

Three contestants had already started working on it, and it was obvious that the answer to the question already existed in their minds before the competition began.

On the left side of the referee's seat, a Guoba was temporarily added to the "freeloader" seat for the sake of fairness.

A certain white-haired person who was also judged as a "mysterious creature" also looked towards the center of the venue nervously:

——Although such a rule without any restrictions is the most friendly to Ying,

But as to which dishes had the "most special meaning" to them, Paimeng still had no idea for the moment.

“.Potatoes, river shrimp, almonds, milk, osmanthus, rock sugar, honey.”

“—Ah, I see!

Is Ying going to make golden shrimp balls and almond tofu? ! "

Although Paimon, who was usually only responsible for free food and drinks, could not fully understand what the three dishes were, the white-haired dumpling, who had recently helped Ying eliminate a lot of failed products, still recognized two of them:

——It was the first hot dish they had eaten after leaving the deserted island, "Golden Shrimp Balls".

Even though it wasn't used in the end, I practiced it many times before and used it as a gift to meet the Great Sage who Conquers Demons.

“.Ah, the first dish we had in Liyue, and the one we practiced the most times?

As expected of Ying, it feels really suitable!"

Suddenly I realized that not knowing how to cook many dishes is not necessarily a bad thing.

Paimon was relieved, thinking that these dishes were at least normal and would not anger the gods.

"Lalu~"

"Hmm? Guoba, are you worried about Xiangling too?

Xiangling will definitely be fine, she even taught Ying a lot of things yesterday."

"Huh?! Why did Xiangling take a steamer back?

And are those two different bags of flour in her hands?"

Suddenly, they discovered that Xiangling had taken away some kitchen utensils that Ying had not used yet, and Paimon and Guoba looked in the direction of the girl.

".Flour, lethal doses of Jueyun pepper, forest pork, and fish"

".Although I can guess that one of the dishes is boiled fish, but what kind of dish would require two kinds of flour and a steamer?"

Paimon discovered that the Guoba beside him seemed to become more active than ever when he saw the ingredients. He could only guess that this was probably a food that had special meaning to Guoba.

"Then Mona must be fine."

"--Eh?!

Why is Mona making salad in public? Will she be punished by God for doing this?

Suddenly, I saw a completely unconventional person on the field.

When Paimon discovered that someone was planning to offer salad to the gods in public, he suddenly became worried that there might be some lightning strikes from the sky during the judging session.

".Uh, no, Mona, you really made a salad?

It's not impossible, but this might be the first time in Teyvat's history that someone has offered this to a god, right?"

Above the stadium, there is a temporary cave specially built for the convenience of blessing.

In front of a long table that could hold all thirty dishes, Lin Feng looked at an astrologer below in silence.

——Of course he knew the reason for the current situation.

You can also tell that a certain astrologer who looks calm and composed is actually quite panicked.

——It’s nothing, Mona’s super high inspiration state just disappeared before the game,

The dish that this unlucky guy is best at right now is probably the salad that can be blessed with the grass element.

"Well, that's to be expected.

I can only say that this is the case with intuitive players, and being sometimes smart and sometimes not is just the norm."

I realized that one of the contestants might have already secured the last place.
