Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

"Then let me teach Eri." Kikyo said confidently. She still had some confidence in her cooking skills.

"Kikyo, do you want to team up with Eri to participate in this round of the game?" Anyway, the second round of the game is purely for entertainment purposes, and Bai Hen thinks it would be better to let Kikyo accompany Eri to play the game.

"Okay." Kikyo agreed happily.

“If you want to improve your cooking skills after completing the first stage, I have prepared the best teachers for you. No matter whether it is popular cuisines such as Chinese, French, and Italian, or relatively unpopular cuisines such as traditional African, Georgian, or British cuisine, there is nothing they don’t know.” Bai Hen said confidently.

"they?"

"Come out, Black Shadow Corps." Although the Black Shadow Corps has not been in action for a long time, it does not mean that the Black Shadow Corps is just drawing a salary without doing anything in Bai Hen's Black Shadow Kingdom. In private, Bai Hen dispatches a lot of Black Shadow soldiers.

"Okay, just wait for the results of Eri and I's special training. We will definitely get a rank!" Kikyo naturally also has control over the Black Shadow Corps, but she hardly cared about it. She didn't expect Baihen to have secretly prepared so much.

"If this contestant is willing to bribe the examiner, he may be considered for the first place." Bai Hen chuckled.

"Can Eiry give you the little yellow duck?" Eiry took out her little yellow duck from her pocket and handed it to Bai Hen.

"Uh... No! Fairness is the basic principle of the game. As a producer, how could I take the lead in violating the rules? I was just testing you just now. I didn't expect you to be so easily tempted!"

Baihen decided to flirt less in front of the children in the future. No matter how Eri reacted, it felt awkward.

"Don't disturb me and Eri, just go play by yourself." Kikyo glared at Baihen in reproach and drove him out of the kitchen.

"Kanna, are you interested? If you are, you can participate with Kagura then." Bai Hen calculated with his fingers and thought that Kagura would probably be back from vacation soon.

Shenwu didn't say anything, just shook his head.

With books, time is long; without books, time is short. With the full efforts of the Crimson King, time quickly came to Christmas Day.

"Time flies like an arrow, the days and months pass by like a shuttle, and the years pass quietly between our fingers. Looking back on the past..."

"This reminds me of the simple remarks made by the principal at every opening ceremony of high school. I think he did it on purpose." Bad memories came to his mind. For Lu, high school life was full of dark histories.

"Now let's start explaining the specific rules of this event." After a long period of nonsense, Bai Hen finally got to the point.

"The rules this time are also very simple. All contestants will be divided into 128 regions. First, the teams in each region will decide the winner. Each region will have three questions, and the winner will be determined by the average score of the three questions. The team with the highest score will win and then enter the second round of elimination."

"The knockout round will adopt a BO3 format, which means two wins out of three games. Both teams can specify a competition event, and the final event will be randomly drawn."

"After a long elimination round, the last two teams will start the final BO5 match. Each team can specify two events and ban one event. Even if the specified event is banned, it cannot be re-selected. After the selection is completed, the remaining events will still be selected randomly."

"The team that wins three games will be the final winner and will be crowned our first Chef King!"

"Hmm? Why does it feel like this competition is really normal?" Xia Mi frowned, somewhat unbelieving.

"Sister, are we really not going to make potato chips? Potato chips will definitely win in the end!" Fenrir was still thinking about his favorite potato chips, thinking that as long as he used potato chips as a powerful weapon, he would be able to win easily.

"Shu... forget it. Just listen to me when the time comes. We don't have much hope of winning this competition, so just take part." When it comes to cooking, Xia Mi will definitely know how to do it after living alone for so long, but it would be too difficult for her to become a chef king.

She has no resources and no connections, so she can only find time to learn how to cook dishes from TV shows. If she can win in all of these, Xia Mi will eat Fenrir's TV!

"I declare that the second round of the game officially begins!"

Following Bai Hen's announcement, the scene in front of all the contestants changed, and they came to a new competition scene - a city made entirely of bronze.

"Is this the bedroom of Norton and Constantine this time?" Xia Mi muttered to herself, but the sound coming out of her mouth seemed a little wrong.

"Hey, why is there my voice?" Fenrir said in surprise.

However, Xia Mi discovered that Fenrir's questions came from her mouth, and the voice was her own.

"No way?" Xia Mi had a bad feeling.

"Sister, why did you say the same thing as I wanted to say?" Fenrir asked in surprise when he heard what he wanted to say coming out of Xia Mi's mouth, and then took a step forward to get closer to Xia Mi.

After she stopped talking, Xia Mi suddenly felt her body moving uncontrollably again, which made her subconsciously want to hold her body straight and keep her balance, but this implicated Finkel behind her. Finkel also subconsciously wanted to keep his balance when he encountered the sudden accident, and the result was that both of them fell to the ground in the end.

It wasn't just the two of them, almost all the contestants encountered the same situation, especially those groups with dozens or even hundreds of people. The sight of them falling down so densely that they couldn't even get up was quite spectacular.

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Su Si said depressedly. Of course, it was Chu Zihang who spoke for her. The two of them were one of the few groups that didn't lie on the ground together, but they still felt extremely upset.

"It seems that the control of our bodies has been exchanged, and we are controlling each other's bodies to complete the game, but the senses have not been exchanged, so we are still feeling our own bodies." Hearing the inference in Chu Zihang's tone coming out of her mouth, Su Si felt a little awkward.

"In other words, we have to control each other's bodies to complete all the steps of cooking from our own perspective? This is too torturous!" Su Si felt even more awkward when she saw Chu Zihang's expressionless face showing obvious surprise because of her.

"It seems to be so. But this is actually a good thing for us. This way we have a chance to get a ranking even if our cooking skills are not outstanding." Chu Zihang quickly realized the benefits of this situation.

"That's right..." Su Qian admitted that what Chu Zihang said was indeed very reasonable. Under this change, it was difficult for those top chefs to display their due strength, which gave them the opportunity to overtake others. But this feeling was still too weird, right? !

"Don't you want to give it a try? We shouldn't need an administrator for this round of the game." The biggest troublemaker Odin is already dead, and the remaining dragon kings have also received the news of Odin's death. Now none of them dare to expose themselves, let alone make trouble.

However, even these powers that they used unintentionally had already been learned by Bai Hen. The difference was that without Odin's teaching by words and deeds, it would take some time to completely turn them into instincts, but Bai Hen had plenty of time.

“No, thanks.” Lu Mingfei, who had just been watching happily, shrank his head, fearing that Bai Hen would forcefully throw him down.

Lu Mingze did not say anything either. Although he was quite experienced in controlling Lu Mingfei's body, this kind of control was different from the other. He had never dreamed of playing in this way.

The abnormalities that occurred in the contestants this time were just a small application of what Bai Hen learned from Odin. Bai Hen grafted the cause and effect between each team member to each other, so that the corresponding result of one person's action would be reflected on others.

The final result is the current situation on the field.

It was okay for those players who played in pairs or trio. Although it was also uncomfortable, the mixed-bloods were considered elites and it took some time for them to adapt and start the game.

Those teams with dozens or hundreds of people...ha.

Chapter 142: Kitchen King Competition? Breakup Kitchen!

"Brother, just control my body so that I can observe your body at any time. Don't do anything unnecessary. Just think of it as playing the statue game." Xia Mi instructed Fenrir using Fenrir's mouth.

Although the experience of controlling someone else's body without having their perspective is indeed torturous.

But who is she? She is Yirgama, one of the twin kings of the earth and the mountain, the dragon king who is best at controlling power!

It's just a little awkwardness, and it's a difficulty that can be easily overcome. On the contrary, if all players are in the same situation, then the situation is now in their favor and the advantage is in her!

However, all these thoughts disappeared after Xia Mi walked into Bai Hen's specially designed kitchen.

Looking at Fenrir, who entered the room with her but appeared on the other side of the room, the cooking utensils were randomly distributed on both sides of the room, and there was a large banner in the middle of the room with the four big words "No Crossing" clearly written on it. Xia Mi felt that this game had gone bad.

How can this be called a cooking competition? This is clearly a prank variety show where anyone who can cook it has almost won the competition!

"Sister, should I still stand beside you?" Seeing that the current situation was different from what Xia Mi had instructed him, Fenrir asked weakly.

Although the voice was very soft, Xia Mi could still hear it very clearly. After all, it came from her own mouth.

"Haha, no need. Let's practice how we should act now..." Xia Misheng said helplessly, feeling that the future was bleak.

However, Xia Mi and Fenrir are the ones with the fastest progress among all the contestants. The identity of Dragon King is not just nice to hear. Most of the contestants are still trying to get their teammates to stand up together with them, and those who can walk into the kitchen are still rare.

"It really fits his bad taste." Kikyo said with a smile.

After all, it's just a game, and the most important thing about a game is the process and surprises, so Bai Hen never revealed the content of the game to them.

The current situation really surprised Kikyo. Eri was controlling her hands and touching them all over, which seemed to be very fun.

"Sister Kikyo, your expression has become so interesting." After this period of hard training and having become more aware of her cooking skills, Eri, who plans to focus on participating, no longer cares about winning or losing the game. Instead, she finds this novel experience more interesting.

"That's your expression." Kikyo found the helpless expression on Eri's face interesting.

As the only group of contestants whose purpose of participating in the competition was to have fun, Kikyo and Eri's good attitude helped them quickly adapt to the current situation. After entering the kitchen, they started to get busy after a brief hesitation.

"The first stage of the competition will last for three hours. Please make good use of your time. Some teams have already started making the first dish."

The countdown like the carrot of Damocles, accompanied by the voice of Bai Hen, hung over the heads of every contestant, making some contestants more impatient and unable to act normally, while also speeding up the actions of some others.

They understood that in this situation, as long as they could make three dishes, they would have almost won half the battle. Cooking skills were not the primary pursuit in this qualifying round. They had every opportunity to surpass those powerful beings in this round of games and take the opportunity to earn points.

Unfortunately, objective factors often cannot change along with subjective factors, even if some people have tried very hard to adapt to the rules of the game and are indeed gifted and can perform most of the routine operations under these rules.

But their teammates can't!

I have tried my best to select dishes with simple steps, and I have also agreed that I will try my best to complete all the work that requires skills, and the rest will just be left to my teammates to do some simple processing.

However, the teammates who usually cooperated very well with each other behaved like Down syndrome at this moment. Not only could they not give timely pictures when they were processing the ingredients, they also got the final processing process wrong, and even knocked over the dishes in the last step before serving.

Countless people regretted in their hearts why they chose such a thing as their teammate. If they had known earlier, they would have replaced him with someone else!

The teammates on the other side were also very dissatisfied. How could they say that it was all their fault? If the opponent could switch angles in time to provide a good field of view, would they have made those stupid mistakes? !

Thus, in this small game with only fireworks, countless partners fell apart, from close friends to familiar strangers, and some people even had the idea of getting a divorce.

However, some guys feel that they have found their soul mates and also have the idea of divorcing their loved ones when they return home.

Just three hours of staying in a small kitchen had an impact that was even greater than the 24-hour no-rules free-for-all in the first round of the game.

The human heart is so complicated.

With such emotion, Bai Hen rang the bell to end the first stage of the game.

"Okay, now the first stage of the game is officially over. Players, please stop what you are doing immediately and place your finished dishes on the platform in the middle of the room. Professional judges will give you scores."

After finishing their dishes, the players carefully placed them on the platform in the center of the room. Of course, there were some unlucky players who accidentally knocked over their dishes and thus broke up with their partners.

There were also some guys who hadn't even finished a single dish but just put the half-finished product up, hoping that this group of people were all noobs and they could get away with it.

Soon all the players were ready, and the special judges, the Black Shadow Army, emerged from the ground, judging each dish with a professional eye.

"What are these, shadow ninjas?" This was the first time that the Shadow Corps appeared in front of the players, and their appearance as Japanese ninjas also made everyone think differently.

There is no need to worry about whether the dishes will miss their best consumption period. The moment players finish cooking, their status will be automatically locked. There is no situation where the dishes become cold after an hour or two.

However, there are people who have considered this aspect. Within their abilities, they have even controlled the time to complete the three dishes to be almost the same. Although they may not have an advantage in terms of taste, people who can do this are already masters of cooking and are strong contenders for the championship of this round of the game.

Under the professional and picky judging of the Black Shadow Corps, the winners of the 128 regions were quickly decided, and after a short break they will have a face-to-face food battle.

Of course, some performed well and some performed poorly. Some guys who had no respect for the ingredients were simply heretics in the eyes of the Black Shadow Legion. The bottom-ranked teams in each area were ruthlessly slapped with the three big words "unpalatable" on their faces by the Black Shadow Legion.

Especially the cooking group consisting of hundreds of people, they still hadn't agreed on how to divide the work and cooperate until the end of the game.

As expected, most of these 128 winners are people with excellent pedigree and strong strength. After all, even if their cooking skills may not be the best, their adaptability and learning abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people.

As the culinary disciples of the Black Shadow Corps, Kikyo and Eri are naturally capable of making the rounds.

"Very good, the winners of Group 128 have been decided, and we will now enter the second stage of the knockout round."

"The two teams in the elimination round will use the same kitchen to compete. Each team will have a complete cooking area, and there will no longer be a situation where cooking tools are deliberately separated. Players from both teams are not prohibited from visiting each other, but they cannot directly destroy each other's ingredients and dishes, nor can they make personal attacks."

"The rules of the game are so simple, let the game begin!"

The world in the eyes of the players changed again. The original kitchen disappeared, and was replaced by a huge venue that accommodated all 128 teams.

With 265 soldiers from the Black Shadow Corps conducting one-on-one defense and never missing any violations, the second stage of the Chef King Competition officially began in a heated atmosphere!

The contestants who can overcome numerous obstacles and stay are no ordinary people. Small problems like how to control the body have naturally been solved by them long ago. What's more, now that there is no obstacle of distance, they can make people with poor control or cooking skills become tools to simply provide perspectives, and their efficiency is much higher than before.

If that were the case, the second stage would end in peace, and the group with the strongest cooking skills would win.

If this were an ordinary competition, there would be no problem with this development, but unfortunately, this is the second round of the Desire Grand Prix, so Baihen also provides opportunities for those who are weak in cooking.

Xia Mi intended to take advantage of this opportunity to win.

Although Fenrir was far ahead in the standings in the last round, that standings was only for that one game. The scores for the entire Desire Grand Prix were awarded according to the name of each round of the game.

In a round of the game, the first place will get 100 ranking points, the second place 50 points, the third place 40 points, the fourth place 35 points, and then each drop in rank until the eighth place will reduce the points by five, which means that the eighth place will only get 15 points.

Then the ninth place gets 13 points, and each subsequent place will have one point reduced until it reaches 0. That is to say, only the top 21 places have points, and all subsequent places will be given 0 points.

There are only 128 groups on the field now, which means that as long as they can win two games, there is a great possibility of getting points. Xia Mi is determined to win!

Chapter 143 Isn’t it reasonable for a wrench to appear in the kitchen?

The rules only restrict personal attacks and direct destruction of ingredients and dishes. There are as many ways as you want to interfere with the other party!

However, the biggest problem for Xia Mi is how to be more secretive. After all, she is not as unlucky as Odin. Now no one knows that her and Fenrir's true identity is the Dragon King.

Fortunately, after hearing the rules, Xia Mi directly asked Fenrir to transform with her. With the cover of armor, they could do a lot of things even while trying to hide their identities.

This idea is certainly not unique to Xia Mi. In fact, most of the players on the field have the same idea.

However, the corresponding problem is that most people in the field are not sure how to interfere with the opponent without breaking the rules. After all, they are not controlling their own bodies. If one fails to control the words well, he will be out of the game at the speed of light.

Therefore, many people plan to lie low while making the first dish, and then take action after adapting to their partner's words.

However, this is also the advantage of Xia Mi and Fenrir. As twins, although the powers they were given are very different, their essence is the same. Xia Mi doesn't even need to adapt to bring out the power of Fenrir.

Xia Mi quietly applied her strength to the opponent's kitchen utensils and tableware, but she did not act immediately. Instead, she planned to take advantage of the opponent's mistake to destroy it. After all, this was only the first round, so she should try not to attract attention.

Compared with the cautious Xia Mi, the duo of Ange and Flamel (Vice-Principal Night Watchman) are much more unbridled.

Ange's [Word Spirit·Eternity] and Flamel's [Word Spirit·Discipline] are both Word Spirits that do not have direct killing power, and therefore both of their Word Spirits are extremely suitable for causing trouble in this round of the game.

Under normal circumstances, Ange would activate Flamel's [Word Spirit·Discipline] to suppress the opponent's Word Spirit to prevent the opponent from causing trouble. When you are about to take action, you can let Flamel activate Ange's [Word Spirit·Eternity] to disrupt the opponent's steps at a speed that the opponent cannot catch up with before returning safely to your side.

The tacit understanding and the compatibility of their words and spirits made them one of the top players in this game. At this moment, their opponents were already in despair and wanted to give up the game.
