Food Wars: Starting with Equipping the Greedy Wolf Pot

How adorable!

Back when she was in Totsuki Junior High, how come she never noticed that there was such a cute child among the first-grade students?

Kobayashi Ryudou's sudden hug instantly turned Tadokoro Megumi's face bright red.

They're too close!

Come close to Longdan-senpai's face!

Tadokoro Megumi was like a kettle on a fire, instantly transforming into a steam princess.

Just as Tadokoro Megumi seemed about to faint, Kobayashi Ryudou finally reluctantly released the lifelike doll of Tadokoro Megumi.

"Yuuki~"

"I think I just heard you talking about Xiang Ji-kun. Is there something wrong with Xiang Ji-kun?" Kobayashi Ryudai turned his gaze to Yoshino Yuuki.

"Senior Longdan, now Senior Xiangji is teaching us his knife skills training time."

"Senior Rindai, would you like to come with us?" Yoshino Yuuki answered honestly.

Knife skills training?

What is it?

If you live in the Polaris Lodge, can you learn Xiang Ji's knife skills? Knife skills from the legendary Chinese Dragon Chef.

In that case, it seems I should bring my talent to the Polaris Dormitory as well.

Ryudou Kobayashi immediately jumped off the bed and reached out to wake Eishi Tsukasa, who was lying on the floor asleep hugging a bottle.

……

"Xiao Hui, can I ask you for a favor?"

Suddenly, the voice of Jishiniri Alice came from behind, pulling Tadokoro Megumi, who was nearly fainting because of Kobayashi Ryudan, back to her senses.

"Alice, what do you need?"

"Xiao Hui, can you help me call that idiot A Liang down?" Alice Nakiri pointed at Ryo Kurokiba, who was huddled in the corner, and her voice sounded a little angry.

Alice Nakiri has not forgotten what Ryo Kurokiba did to her last night, and Ryo Kurokiba has not apologized to her yet.

Before Kurokiba Ryo sincerely apologized to her, Nakiri Alice declared that she would never speak another word to that idiot Kurokiba Ryo again.

As for why Tadokoro Megumi was asked to help wake up Kurokiba Ryo?

Although Alice Nakiri hasn't forgiven Ryo Kurokiba yet, she was the one who picked him up, and besides, she hadn't said a word.

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's request, Megumi Tadokoro did not ask Alice why she did not go and wake Ryo Kurokiba herself, but instead took action and woke Ryo Kurokiba up.

Twenty minutes later.

Having changed their clothes, Isshiki Satoshi, Sakaki Ryoko and the others appeared at the entrance of the Polaris Dormitory. Tsukasa Eishi and the other three also looked at Xiang Ji with curiosity.

Is the legendary knife skills passed down by the Dragon Chef in China finally about to be revealed to them?

"Let's begin!"

"Let's all run around the Polaris Dormitory twenty times to warm up," Xiang Ji said with a smile to Nakiri Alice and the others.

……

What? Running?

Wasn't the training supposed to be knife skills? Why are we running now? And twenty laps is just a warm-up.

Are you kidding me!

Is this really proper knife skills training?

……

Complaining is one thing, but another.

However, Kobayashi Ryudou, Nakiri Alice and the others still followed honest Xiang Ji, since Xiang Ji had no reason to lie to them about this matter.

It's just twenty laps, right?

Run!

Since Xiang Ji and the others from Polaris Dormitory were able to run down, they could certainly do it too.

However, some things cannot be accomplished simply by having the will, especially for a pampered young lady like Alice Nakiri who is not good at training.

After running only two laps, Alice Nakiri was already exhausted, swaying as if she was about to faint.

"Miss, let me help you escape."

Upon noticing that Alice Nakiri seemed to be falling behind them, Ryo Kurokiba slowed down and prepared to take Alice Nakiri with him.

"I do not want!"

"You idiot Ryo, you haven't apologized to me yet..." Alice Nakiri grumbled and turned her head away, completely forgetting her angry words that she wouldn't speak to Ryo Kurokiba until he apologized.

"I'm sorry, miss, it was my fault," Kurokiba Ryo apologized helplessly.

"Ok."

"Since you've apologized to me properly, you idiot A-Liang, I'll forgive you this time. But next time it won't be so easy, understand?"

“Yes, Miss,” Kurokiba Ryo replied.

……

"Tsukasa, isn't your stamina a bit weak?" Kobayashi Ryudou looked at Tsukasa Eishi, who had reappeared in front of him, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Gentiana".

"Don't worry about me, keep running," Tsukasa Eishi replied breathlessly. "I'll catch up with you."

"Really."

"With you in this state, how can I possibly let you follow behind alone?" Kobayashi Ryudou grabbed Tsukasa Eishi without further ado.

"I'll take you away, Si."

……

"Run, we've finished running..."

"Twenty laps, I... I feel like I'm going to die." Upon reaching the finish line, Yoshino Yuuki collapsed onto the grass.

"Yuuki, don't sit down right after you finish running. Slow down and walk a little further," Tadokoro Megumi, one of the first to reach the finish line, hurriedly told Yoshino Yuuki.

"Xiao Hui!"

"Leave me alone, just let me lie here, my legs are about to break!" Yoshino Yuuki wailed loudly.

Chapter 58 What's so special about catching a wild yak with your bare hands? Have you ever seen the Yangtze River burn down?

"Yuuki, your voice still has a lot of strength!"

"It seems that twenty laps of warm-up is too easy. How about we increase it to twenty-five laps tomorrow?" Xiang Ji looked at Yoshino Yuuki with a smile.

"No!"

"Senior Xiang Ji, running twenty-five laps as a warm-up can really kill you!" Yoshino Yuuki cried out in pain upon hearing Xiang Ji's words.

No, it won't.

“Xiao Hui can run thirty laps,” Xiang Ji said, pointing to the bewildered Tadokoro Megumi.

……

"Senior Xiang Ji, is running really part of Chef Long's knife skills training?" Exhausted and out of breath, Alice Nakiri asked Xiang Ji.

Even with Kurokiba Ryo helping her run, Alice Nakiri was still exhausted after running twenty laps.

"Of course not."

“The knife skills training of a true master chef is not as easy as our current training!” Xiang Ji said calmly.

Ee eh eh?

Upon hearing Xiang Ji's words, Alice Nakiri's eyes widened instantly, and Yoshino Yuuki and the others were in no better shape.

Is this what you call relaxing?

So just how terrifying was the original knife skills training of the legendary Dragon Chefs in China?

"Xiang Ji-kun, what was the original knife skills training like?" Kobayashi Ryudou asked curiously while Nakiri Alice and the others were still stunned.

"The original content?"

"Well, this is probably something like climbing a hundred-meter waterfall with your bare hands, crossing the Yangtze River back and forth, and wrestling with wild yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau..."

Xiang Ji simply described a few training programs for chefs in the dark cuisine world, and worried that Alice Nakiri and the others wouldn't understand, so he specially converted them into descriptions that they could understand.

……

Climb a 100-meter-high waterfall with your bare hands?

Crossing a 4,000-meter-long river back and forth?

Fighting hand-to-hand with a behemoth weighing nearly a ton?

……

real or fake?

Are these programs really training chefs? They're clearly training super warriors! And are these programs even something a normal human could do?

Correct answer!

The chefs trained in the Dark Cuisine world are not ordinary chefs, but rather chefs who possess qigong, or even superpowers.

For example, Ya Kan, one of the Five Tiger Stars, possesses explosive fire-making skills that can set the surface of the Yangtze River ablaze, and can even be used to touch the flames to roast food.

It can also control body temperature, and the heat it releases is enough to easily melt steel.

Compared to Asia Magazine's capabilities, what is catching a wild yak with bare hands?

Not to mention the legendary chefs in the world of dark cuisine, Xiang Ji's previous life as an ordinary technician in Qinghai had already accomplished this, and he was even able to breed them!

……

"Senior Xiang Ji, did you develop your knife skills through the techniques you just mentioned?" Alice Nakiri's expression clearly conveyed her intense and extreme curiosity.

Kobayashi Ryudou, Isshiki Satoshi, and the others were also staring at Xiang Ji. It wasn't just Nakiri Alice who was curious about Chef Ryu's knife skills training program.

"Of course not, my knife skills weren't trained that way."

"If I could do these things, my knife skills wouldn't be at this level," Xiang Ji replied frankly.

All of Xiang Ji's current dark cooking techniques were forcibly acquired through the equipment slots.

The difference in strength between the two is far greater than the secret techniques of dark cuisine that chefs in the dark cuisine world have painstakingly honed.

The simplest proof is that Xiang Ji's current culinary skills are not yet capable of producing dishes that glow.

When Xiang Ji is able to use the secret techniques of the Dark Cuisine World without the help of the equipment slot, he will be able to cook glowing dishes.

Upon hearing that Xiang Ji's knife skills were not trained in this way, Yoshino Yuuki and the others instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good!

That's good!

If one really has to go through such training to have the same knife skills as Xiang Ji, then should they give up? Actually, they weren't that curious about Chef Long's knife skills.

Just kidding!

It's nothing more than climbing a hundred-meter-high waterfall with bare hands and fighting a nearly one-ton wild yak. ​​As long as you can master the Dragon Chef's knife skills, what are these challenges?

Of course!

Since Xiangji has a safer training method, let's follow Xiangji's method for now!

Eat your food one bite at a time.

One must take things one step at a time.

Chef Long's knife skills are something that even Xiang Ji hasn't truly mastered, let alone those whose knife skills are far inferior to Xiang Ji's.

No matter what.
