The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 417 Cooking Competition (2)

After chatting with Eula and the others for a while, Yan Fei was called by the staff to announce the scores. After seeing Yan Fei receive their scores from the four judges on the judges' panel, even Xiang Ling, who had participated in many cooking competitions, felt a little nervous.

After all, all the previous cooking competitions were held in Liyue, and there were no contestants from other countries participating at all. This time, I can compete with contestants from three countries on the same stage. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.

Xiangling was not the only one who was nervous. Eula and the others were all staring at the small sign with the score in Yanfei's hand, praying in their hearts that they would not be the last one among the four.

After all, they are representing their countries in the competition. If they come in last place, not to mention the embarrassment, they will not be able to get over it mentally.

Especially Kuki Shinobu and Nilu, they were the ones chosen by the gods to participate in this competition. Although Kuki Shinobu was recommended by Yae Shinko, the order was still given by General Raiden. If they took the last place, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling the world that their gods' vision is not good?
"Well, let me announce the scores of each contestant."

Standing in the center of the competition venue and glancing at the nervous people, Yan Fei was not the kind of person who liked to drag things out and was slow-tempered. As one of the fire girls, Yan Fei did not keep anyone in suspense after seeing the score board and directly started reading out everyone's scores.

"Mond player Eula, ninety-nine points."

As Yan Fei announced the first score, Eula, who was quite satisfied with her score, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She scored 99 points out of 100, so she shouldn't be the last one. In this way, she felt relieved. At least after returning to Mond, she could give an explanation to Jyn and not let the daughter of the Gunhild family look down on her.

"Liyue player Xiangling, 99 points."

Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, Yan Fei was slightly stunned. It was quite rare to have the same score in this kind of competition, especially such a high score. However, as a legal expert who had seen many ups and downs, Yan Fei still read out Xiangling's score in a steady tone.

Hearing that she also got a high score of 99 points, Xiangling put down her worries. At this time, Xiangling had the same idea as Eula. 99 points was a high score after all, and she definitely wouldn't be the last one.

After hearing Xiangling's score, Hu Tao blinked and gave Xiangling a thumbs up. No matter what Xiangling's final score was, Xiangling would always be the one who cooked the best food in Hu Tao's heart.

"Inazuma contestant Kuki Shinobu, ninety-nine points."

Ninety-nine points too? Not bad, at least she was second this time, no matter what, she might be first. After hearing her score, Jiuqi Shinobu's eyes flashed outside the helmet.

If one of them scored 99 points or two scored 99 points, she might not be sure of her guess, but if she also scored 99 points, then as she expected, the contestant from Xumi would most likely also score 99 points.

Just as Kuki Shinobu was guessing Nellu's score, after seeing that Kuki Shinobu also got ninety-nine points, Yan Fei had actually roughly guessed in her heart that the last contestant Nellu's score must also be ninety-nine points, and the result was as she expected, Nellu's score was indeed ninety-nine points.

"Sumeru contestant Nilu scored ninety-nine points."

After reading out Nelue's score, Jiuqi Shinobu looked at the four judges who were chatting happily on the judges' panel, and a gleam of realization flashed in her eyes. As expected, the meaning of this so-called cooking exchange competition was almost the same as she had guessed. It was just organized by the four countries to strengthen their relations. The real purpose should have been discussed behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, apart from Yan Fei who knew some of the internal situation, only Jiuqi Shinobu noticed this on the field. By observing the smiles on the faces of several people around him, Jiuqi Shinobu could confirm this.

While Kuki Shinobu was still trying to figure out why Yaemiyaji recommended her to participate in this kind of competition, the innocent Yomiya hugged the still dazed Kuki Shinobu and shouted, "Shinobu, that's great, we're first! Now we don't have to worry about Yaemiyaji asking us to swim back to Inazuma!"

Kuki Shinobu, who was being held by Xiao Gong and unable to break free, heard Xiao Gong say out loud what he was thinking. Kuki Shinobu noticed that Yae Shinko was looking at her, and the corners of his mouth hidden under his helmet twitched a few times.

This is really an unexpected disaster. She didn't expect that she would have to continue to worry when the boss is not around. Looking at Xiao Gong who was still smiling brightly and didn't know that the two of them had been noticed by Yae Shinko, Jiuqi Shinobu could only sigh in her heart that Xiao Gong is worthy of being someone who can play with her boss. She is so naive.

As someone who had served as a shrine maiden for a period of time, she knew the character of Yae no Miyabi very well. Now that Xiao Gong's words were heard by Yae no Miyabi, they were afraid that they would be teased.

"Then I declare that in this cooking exchange competition, four contestants tied for first place. Let's give them a round of applause~"

As Yan Fei spoke, waves of applause rang out from the audience. Amid the audience's applause, the cooking exchange competition gradually came to an end.

After Yan Fei announced the end of the competition, the contestants left the competition venue one after another to do some necessary things. For example, Nilu, Cole, Amber, Youla, Jiuqi and Xiaogong teamed up to go shopping and prepare to bring some gifts to their friends. After all, after the cooking exchange competition, it was time for them to return.

Unlike these six people, Xiangling and Hu Tao ran directly to Ruo Jin in the audience after the show. Ruo Jin, who had already prepared herbal tea for Hu Tao and Xiang Ling, handed the herbal tea in his hand to Hu Tao and Xiang Ling.

"Brother Jin, I got first place again this time."

She drank the cold tea handed to her by Ruojin in one breath and wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth with her arm. Xiangling also looked up to Ruojin for praise. Knowing Xiangling's thoughts, Ruojin naturally would not let Xiangling down. He touched Xiangling's head and said with a smile.

"Xiangling is really amazing. I can smell the fragrance of the boiled fish you made from here."

"Hey, Brother Jin, do you want to eat boiled fish? Let's go back to Wanmin Hall and I'll make it for you and Hu Tao."

After being praised by Ruojin, Xiangling scratched her head a little embarrassedly, but when Hutao heard that Xiangling was going to make boiled fish, she cheered out loud.

"Great, Xiangling, you're the best. I've been craving the boiled fish you make for a long time. Why don't we invite Ying and the others to come over for a meal?"

"Dinner party, sure."

Xiangling agreed to Hu Tao's suggestion without thinking. After all, when she participated in the cooking competition, Paimon and Ying gave her many suggestions for new dishes. Now that the competition is over, Xiangling just wants to treat Ying and Paimon to a big meal.

"Ying and Paimon went to the Layered Abyss. Let's wait until they come back and treat them to a meal."

After hearing what Hu Tao and Xiang Ling said, Ruo Jin briefly recounted the conversation between him and Ying just now. After hearing that Ying might have to stay in the Abyss for a while, Hu Tao and Xiang Ling had to give up the idea of ​​having dinner together today.
