early morning.
In the simple round stone house, three people and one beast sat in front of a 52-inch TV screen with their necks stretched out.
Melk sat in the middle with a restless Xiaomei in his arms, Boqizi yawned and scratched his cheek, and Zheng Yuan ate cookies, all waiting for the show to start.
"Uncle, since you are so awesome, no one has ever invited you to a cooking festival?"
Zheng Yuan looked curiously at Melk who was suppressing Xiaomei.
"Is there a cooking festival? There seems to be one. Setsuno called me once and I said I would go when I had time, but then there was no news... How strange!" Melk replied, touching Xiaomei's head. .
"...(;一_一)" Zheng Yuan was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Roar!"
Pochizi suddenly growled and pointed at the TV that was no longer playing commercials.
------
"Hello everyone! It's eight o'clock sharp in the capital! The four-year food celebration - the Cooking Festival! Finally begins!"
In a building that looks like a large stew pot, a sturdy commentator in a suit with sharp eyebrows holds a microphone and explains passionately.
"In this square that already accommodates 50 million people, we are about to welcome the top 100 chefs in the world who will participate in this competition! Please take a look!"
The narrator points to a gate and the camera pans.
Under cheers that seemed to shake the air, a gloomy old man wearing a hat and a long white beard came out, standing upright with his hands behind his back.
"The second best chef in the world, with 12 wins in history, the king of cooking, Zeus!"
The commentator explained excitedly, arousing the emotions of the audience.
"So, what's next? Oh my God, it's..."
Following Zeus was a short old man with pink hair and a kind smile, who walked out slowly on crutches.
"The national treasure of the world of gourmet food! The number of wins in history is 27 times! The world's number one chef, Setsuno Granny! Oh my God, is she actually going to appear this time? I'm about to faint!"
Accompanied by cheers that shook the earth, Setsuno's mother-in-law smiled kindly, "Don't call me mother-in-law, I'm still very young! Hehehe."
"Long time no see, Grandma Jie."
A man wearing green clothes and a beard like a scarf spoke from behind Setsuno.
"The chef who is ranked 4th in the world and the authoritative herbal diet company, Chef Wang! He has won twice and was nicknamed the Yoda of One Millimeter for his rigorousness!"
"Little Yoda, the last time we met was 5 years ago, right? That's really a long time!"
Setsuno squinted his eyes and said slowly.
"Stop pretending to be mother-in-law, you are in much better health than us!"
A long-nosed weirdo with red skin yawned and walked out, looking askance at Setsuno.
"There are all kinds of weird things coming from the monster class, the chef of the Monster Food Restaurant, Tengu Castle - the first time he appeared in our conference, the 21st ranked Tengu Blanche in the world, is here!"
"How could it be? The future belongs to you young people!" Setsuno said with a smile.
While Setsuno was talking to everyone, all the chefs unknowingly appeared, and there were actually 99 contestants. The competition officially began!
"The rules of this competition are different from the previous ones!" The commentator took out an envelope and explained, "This year's competition rules were proposed by President Yilong of IGO. They can only be opened at the beginning of the competition. I don't know the details. What’s the topic!”
As the commentator slowly opened the envelope, the hearts of all the audience were raised. For a moment, the huge venue was silent.
"Oh my god! The topic this time is actually..." The commentator looked at the envelope with shock on his face, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
"This competition has a total of three stages, sea! land! air! The contestants need to obtain ingredients that fit the theme, and then cook them. Half of the contestants will be eliminated each time. The point is! The contestants need to obtain the ingredients for this competition by themselves. !Yes, get it yourself!”
As the commentator finished speaking, 50 million people suddenly cheered in the silent venue, and the world seemed to tremble under the sound!
The narrator covered his ears and waited for the audience to stabilize before speaking.
"This competition lasts for three days! The scope of the event is... the whole world! Yes, the whole world. Return here at 5 pm every day to start cooking. You can search for ingredients at all times except for that. As long as you can return Got it!"
The narrator spreads his arms and his face turns red.
"Considering that some chefs are indeed lacking in combat ability, each chef can be accompanied by a food hunter, which can be a partner or anyone at the venue. Then we will arrange a Mach plane to pick him up. A chef will be followed by a camera team, and we will randomly broadcast the details, so I don’t think anyone wants to read what I said, so from now on!”
"Sea theme - boundless sea, begins!"
As the commentator finished speaking, the emotions of both the audience at the venue and in front of the TV completely exploded!
“It’s so awesome (ง•̀_•́)ง!”
Xiaomei stood on Melk's shoulders, jumping up and down and shouting.
"This is really... spectacular!"
Zheng Yuan's face turned red and his heart was beating a little fast.
