I found a life simulator.

"Come with me. This international student exchange friendly match is being held in a special venue for food battles."

"For this friendly match, we invited many European exchange students and the ten strongest chefs from Totsuki Culinary Academy."

"Although the young lady likes you very much, her liking alone is not enough."

"Su Ze, I hope you can gain more experience in this friendly match."

"By then, once you've gained a great reputation in the culinary world, the obstacles to being with the young lady will be much smaller."

Hisako Shinoto explained in a very serious tone.

and.

The young lady's divine tongue also destined her to not marry a man with mediocre cooking skills.

If Su Ze's strength is insufficient.

Not to mention the old man trying to stop it, Hisako Shinto will also find a way to ruin this doomed romance.

This is the negative effect of the Tongue of God.

If the tastes of the God Tongue cannot be satisfied, the marriage will inevitably end in tragedy sooner or later.

Su Ze nodded slightly.

Learning from experience is another matter.

He came to this international friendly match with the intention of crushing everyone else and climbing over their names to get ahead.

We can't delay any longer; we need to continue keeping a low profile.

The longer it drags on, the more likely things will go wrong. After all, if it drags on too long, Su Ze might really be forced into becoming the cheap husband of millions of women under the "Life Simulator" function.

Chapter 74: I just need someone to cooperate with me.

Su Ze's mental state has been very poor lately.

Although the body has returned to a youthful state, the person's vitality is being revived, and the desire to complain is becoming younger and younger under the influence of the body.

However, apart from that, Su Ze had been in a slump for several weeks in a state that was almost like 'retirement'.

Lack of passion and loss of motivation are the biggest aftereffects of Su Ze returning to this timeline from the future. In other words, because he knew the ending in advance and his future life trajectory was spoiled by the [Life Simulator], Su Ze fell into a state of 'laziness'.

He's trying, but not trying hard enough.

To put it simply, Su Ze's current state is that he only wants to return to his peak, but he has no intention of surpassing it.

The drive that young people should have has disappeared, but their playfulness is still great.

This may be the sense of deviation caused by entering a stage of life without desires after achieving one's goal, unless Su Ze finds a new goal.

Fortunately.

New goals are not nonexistent.

That is to remove the title of "marrying into the family" and become the most suitable person to be Erina's rightful best husband.

Su Ze has been steadily moving towards this goal, but due to his mindset, his progress has been very slow. Every step he takes is too cautious.

Aside from one instance where he was forced into a corner by the simulator and had to act rashly, Su Ze maintained excellent control over the overall situation.

The most brutal approach right now.

It was actually right in front of Su Ze.

To become a chef, first earn reputation with the Elite Ten, then win the Totsuki Academy selection competition, and participate in various culinary competitions to win every possible championship.

Take a moment to think.

Isn't this exactly the approach taken by one of the feminist nemesis's enemies?

He rose to fame at a young age, participated in various competitions, and overcame all obstacles to become a unique figure in the chess world. He became the youngest, strongest, and most agile chess master in China.

A different perspective.

Su Ze could also have achieved fame at a young age, debuting as a judge for the God Tongue competition, participating in various competitions, starting from Totsuki Academy, and then fighting his way up to the grand competition, becoming a unique figure in the culinary world and a new generation of culinary god.

the only difference.

The only difference is that Su Ze gets an extra wife, while the Chess Saint doesn't.

Thinking about it that way, I'm the one who really made a killing.

He gained both fame and fortune, and even had multiple wives.

As for whether Su Ze is confident, that goes without saying. Aside from the hard requirements of basic configuration, apart from not having that kind of dazzling, over-the-top swordsmanship, Su Ze could easily defeat these Totsuki students in other aspects.

The Elite Ten of Totsuki are undoubtedly outstanding among young people.

They are the ten strongest people in Totsuki Academy.

However, Su Ze is going to compete against world-class chefs ranked in the top ten of ESPN's culinary world rankings, not against these students.

He was the one forced to use a lower-dimensional attack.

Even if each of the Elite Ten could potentially reach the top stage in the future, Su Ze is confident that he can take them all down right now.

Lack of motivation and passion is one thing.

But self-confidence is a different matter altogether.

Inside the gymnasium of Totsuki Academy.

The Elite Ten of Totsuki have all assembled under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief.

The entire stadium was arranged to resemble a fighting ring, with a seat in the middle for the referee. This was the seat for the head coach, the old man Nakiri Senzaemon, who would be sitting there later.

Both competition zones.

On one side are the students from Totsuki Academy, who are fighting on their home turf, and on the other side are international students who are studying culinary arts abroad. Even without the food war, it is obvious to everyone that the Totsuki Elite Ten have the advantage.

They are outside the two competition zones.

Even a special guest like Su Ze cannot represent Totsuki Academy or international students; he is simply a young chef who is quite famous in the country.

Surrounding the ring in the center of the stadium, there are rows of spectator seats, where students interested in this friendly match will come to watch.

Totsuki Academy is also a school that specializes in cooking.

This culinary competition naturally drew a huge crowd, with almost the entire school coming to the gymnasium.

Chefs also have a grading system, ranging from level one to level ten, but this does not mean that everyone who cooks has to take the grading exam.

For ordinary people opening a shop, there is no need to take a grading exam. The grading system is just a convenient way to symbolize status and strength.

Schools like Totsuki Academy place great importance on this grading system, and those who pass the tenth level or above are considered master chefs. It's worth noting that most master chefs do not obtain their titles through examinations.

It is a top-level chef certificate obtained by participating in a major culinary competition.

This kind of top-level chef certificate, which is earned by standing out from the crowd, is far more sought after than the kind obtained through examinations. With just this certificate, it's almost a piece of cake to get a head chef position in a star-rated restaurant.

However, when it comes to cooking competitions, it's no longer just about 'deliciousness'.

Underground cooking competitions, or folk cooking competitions, may focus more on the pursuit of deliciousness; being delicious enough can make up for minor flaws.

However, those top-tier culinary competitions are all about pursuing artistry.

Although it may sound strange, it is indeed true that the winning entries in this kind of cooking competition are all works of art that are perfect in color, aroma and taste. From appearance to color, from color to spices, from spices to flavor, and from flavor to the comfort of the mouth.

Even in terms of visual appeal, there are certain requirements.

From Su Ze's perspective, he prefers underground culinary competitions, those performances for the general public, which are somewhat pandering to the masses, with the emphasis on showing off skills overshadowing the essence of cooking.

Unfortunately, that's just how the public prefers things.

As long as it creates a visual effect of "Wow, that's amazing," they will subconsciously judge that the other person is very impressive.

This leads many people to focus more on showing off their skills in such competitions and neglect the foundation in other areas.

Later on, Su Ze had passed the age of enjoying showing off his skills to elicit screams and exclamations from the audience. His cooking thereafter was known for its texture and flavor, reaching a point of returning to simplicity.

However, even without meticulous craftsmanship, Su Ze's innate skill means that even if he makes something casually, its appearance will definitely be above the world ranking level.

If Su Ze wanted to, he could use dazzling sword skills to attract everyone's attention.

Just at this time.

Senzaemon Nakiri spoke up, "Ahem, now that everyone has arrived, let me introduce the participants. This side consists of the participants representing Totsuki Academy, and the other side consists of the participants representing international students."

"This is a friendly match, a match that I, an old man, have arranged on short notice."

"There are two rounds of competition. The rules are relatively simple, and they are divided into individual competitions and team competitions."

"As for the specially invited guest players, let them choose one side to join according to their own preferences."

As the headmaster of Totsuki Culinary Academy, Senzaemon Nakiri organized this friendly tournament to allow the students to experience and enjoy the atmosphere of culinary competition, and to prepare them for the atmosphere of future competitions.

Ordinary students go on to run their own small shops after graduation.

However, there are always students who yearn for a bigger stage.

These friendly matches are trial matches for students who aspire to a bigger stage, serving as a calibration and experience before they enter these stages to compete.

Su Ze looked at the two sides standing in different positions.

Should we choose the Totsuki Academy or the international student camp?

This choice.

Don't think about it.

It's impossible for Su Ze to choose the international student camp.

but.

Su Ze was unwilling to join the Totsuki Academy's camp. No, it wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that by joining the Totsuki Academy's side, Su Ze would once again be bound to the Nakiri family in a shared destiny.

In the [Life Simulator], this action was interpreted as Su Ze choosing the Nakiri family.

Whenever Su Ze had the thought of joining Totsuki Academy, the value of his "marriage line" would fluctuate wildly. Perhaps this was a major turning point in his life.

Moreover, in terms of strength, Totsuki Academy undoubtedly crushes the international students.

On the international student side, there is a serious lack of top-tier combat power. There are only two who can fight: one is Alice Nakiri, and the other is Alice Nakiri's follower, Ryo Kurokiba.

His joining the Totsuki Academy camp is more like adding icing on the cake.

It's difficult to make a lasting impression.

However, if Su Ze goes to the international student side, he can lead Nakiri Alice and the others to fight, but there is a high possibility that another phenomenon will occur, namely that Nakiri Alice's stock price will rise again.

The former cannot be selected, and the latter cannot be selected.

difficult!

"These three specially invited chefs, please make your choices," Senzaemon Nakiri said in a deep, resonant voice from his seat at the judges' table.

The first person asked didn't even blink before making the best choice: "I choose Totsuki Academy."

Within Japan, Totsuki Academy has a very high reputation. Choosing to join the international student camp, whose strength is not readily apparent, is just throwing the opportunity away.

Another person said dismissively, "Then I'll choose the international student."

He targeted Totsuki Academy. If you want to become famous, you have to be ruthless. He defeated the students of Totsuki Academy on their home turf. It would be hard for anyone here not to remember his name.

I'm here to participate in this friendly match, there's no prize money, I'm just here for the recognition.

Besides, losing isn't a big deal. Losing to the strong students of Totsuki Academy is perfectly reasonable from the perspective of outsiders, isn't it? Going to the international student camp is a sure-fire way to make money.

Both of them made their own choices.

Next, it was Su Ze's turn.

Erina Nakiri, who was in the Totsuki Academy camp, smiled. In her eyes, Su Ze only had one choice: her—Erina Nakiri!

But something happened that Erina Nakiri didn't expect.

Alice Nakiri shamelessly raised her hand to ask for help.

"Comrade Aze, choose me! Alice needs your help!" Alice Nakiri said, waving her hand, a cunning glint in her eyes.

Joining the international student group is the best way to maximize benefits.

If you win, you make a fortune; if you lose, you don't lose anything.

This is Su Ze's best way to become famous.

Erina Nakiri couldn't even figure this out, what an idiot! Now that she's asking for help, Su Ze's best option is right in front of her again.
