The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 124 Loud Explosions and Disturbance

"Liu Zhe! Wake up!"

In a daze, Liu Zhe heard a stern voice and opened his eyes, only to see a familiar yet fierce face almost pressed against his own.

"hiss…"

He gasped, instantly snapping back to reality.

"Boss? What brings you here?"

"You have the nerve to ask me?" Sun Zhihong snorted, pointing irritably at Zhong Chang, who was still lying on the ground. "What's going on here?"

“We…” Liu Zhe blinked.

He and Zhong Chang were originally carrying those problematic ingredients, planning to find an opportunity to stuff them into those stalls, but then he felt a pain in the back of his head and passed out.

Touching the large bump on the back of his head, Liu Zhe still doesn't know who hit them with a stick.

"Boss, we've been knocked unconscious and our mascot costumes have been stolen, but we don't know who did it."

"You guys... never mind!" Sun Zhihong snorted speechlessly. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's wake Zhong Chang up first!"

"Okay." Liu Zhe nodded, stepped forward, grabbed Zhong Chang, and shook him vigorously.

Soon, Zhong Chang and Liu Zhe, who had slowly regained consciousness, stood side by side in front of Sun Zhihong.

"Tell me," Sun Zhihong said, looking at the two of them with a serious face. "Given the current situation at 'Happy Party,' what are your plans?"

"Boss, our plan is..." Liu Zhe picked up the problematic ingredients in his hand and quickly explained his plan.

After listening, Sun Zhihong's expression improved slightly.

"The plan is pretty good."

“Time is of the essence, so let’s all three of us work together.” He glanced up at the sky. “It’ll be dark soon, which will make our evacuation easier.”

“Yes.” Zhong Chang and Liu Zhe nodded in unison.

The three split up, hiding the problematic ingredients on their bodies. Then, they pretended to be customers and approached Yu Lingchu's stall. When the other party wasn't paying attention, they hid the ingredients in inconspicuous corners of each stall.

The food vendors don't need to use these ingredients; it's enough that the members of the Food Chef Association find these problematic ingredients themselves.

After a while, the three of them reunited in an inconspicuous corner.

"Boss, we brought a lot of ingredients, and there's some left over. What should we do?" Liu Zhe asked, holding the bag in his hand.

"Take it back later," Sun Zhihong said casually after glancing at it. "Return it to the catering department; they can still use it."

“Okay.” Liu Zhe nodded, not surprised, and put the bag away. “Now that the ingredients are hidden, let’s start reporting.”

He took out his phone and dialed the hotline for reporting violations by the Royal Chef Association.

"Hello, is this the Spirit Chef Association?"

"I want to report that some illegal vendors in the 'Happy Party' amusement park are selling substandard and spoiled ingredients, which violates the association's food safety regulations. I hope you can bring people to inspect it as soon as possible."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhe smiled and said, "It's all done."

"Well done!" Sun Zhihong laughed heartily, patting Liu Zhe and Zhong Chang heavily on the shoulders. "You'll both get a bonus after this is done!"

Liu Zhe smiled calmly, while Zhong Chang's expression unconsciously drifted away.

He felt a little uncomfortable doing this for the first time.

Huh?
Out of the corner of his eye, Zhong Chang's expression shifted slightly.

Two figures dressed as mascots walked past them.

Those two mascot costumes look so familiar...

I go!

Zhong Chang was startled.

Isn't that his and Liu Zhe's mascot costume?!
"I'm full, I'm full~"

Lomi patted her belly contentedly, "It's almost dark, and the amusement park will probably be even more crowded then."

"It would be terrible if we were discovered."

"So it's time to leave now." "Okay." Liu Chuang followed behind Luo Mi and nodded with a hint of regret. "I'd like to have another bowl of plain noodles."

"Just a bowl of noodles? I'll make it for you when I get back." Lomi snorted unhappily. "What's so great about Qin Lang? I'm the organization's most talented spirit chef, I'm no worse than him!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a roar suddenly came from not far away.

"So you're the ones who ambushed us?!"

Ok?
Liu Chuang and Luo Mi looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and then saw three figures walking angrily toward them.

"Who is this?"

Lomi frowned. "Do you know Liu Chuang?"

"...Have you forgotten how we got our mascot costumes?" Liu Chuang asked, somewhat speechless.

"So it was the two of them!" Lomi exclaimed in surprise, then clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Looks like I didn't use enough force, they woke up so quickly."

“The problem doesn’t seem to be that now.” Seeing the other party summon food spirits, Liu Chuang’s forehead creased with a few black lines. “They are spirit chefs.”

"We are too, what are we afraid of?"

Lomi clicked her tongue and quickly summoned Lai.

"Just blow them all up!"
-
"boom!!!"

A deafening crash made Qin Lang's hand, which was scooping up noodles, tremble violently.

Looking at the noodles lying on the table, Qin Lang smiled apologetically at the waiting diners, then his gaze suddenly turned towards the direction from which the sound came.

Flames and thick smoke rose into the distance, and tourists screamed and cried out, fleeing in all directions from the direction of the sound.

problem occurs!
Qin Lang's expression suddenly darkened, and he dropped the comb in his hand. "I'm sorry, sir, I may have to make you plain noodles later."

"Egg Baby, let's go!"

"Gulu!"

Egg Baby, eager to try, responded and followed Qin Lang's footsteps.

"Egg Baby, use [Warm-up Exercise] beforehand." After giving the instruction, Qin Lang quickly approached the direction from which the commotion was coming from.

First came the thieves who stole food, then the food writers who slandered people, and now there's a new disturbance.

These are truly turbulent times.

Walking against the flow of panicked tourists, Qin Lang finally saw the situation at the center of the chaos.

Using the power of food spirits in battle in crowded places has always been strictly prohibited by the Spirit Chef Association.

But at this moment, several food spirits were fighting as if no one else was around, and the collision of supernatural forces stirred up gusts of wind all around.

For ordinary people, this is absolutely an undeserved disaster.

Five people from both sides were facing off. One side consisted of three men, one of whom Qin Lang vaguely remembered, having once tried to poach him on behalf of "Super Players".

As for the other party…

Upon seeing the two people dressed in mascot costumes but with their faces revealed after removing their hoods, Qin Lang's pupils contracted slightly.

It's a rare animal hunting team!

"Qin Lang, we're here to help!"

Cao Dongdong shouted and pulled Zhao Qian along as they ran quickly toward Qin Lang.

Behind him were stall owners from the food and beverage area.

Every stall owner here is a master chef.

Even if they are not strong individually, they are a force to be reckoned with when they unite!

The sudden arrival of the crowd also attracted the attention of both sides in the battle.

"Tsk, they came really fast!"

Lomi glanced at Qin Lang and the others, then pouted unhappily.

"Liu Chuang, prepare to retreat!"
