Chapter 611: Chapter 610: Title, Review

In the Lin Chef Supremacy stage, the competition became both more complex and simplified compared to the first stage.

There was a simplification in terms of the matches.

There were only three.

The first match would be a brutal battle of the top ten.

The second match was no less fierce, a battle of the top three.

Finally, in the third match, three teams would share the stage to present a grand finale!

On the other hand, what was complex were the combinations of Lin Chefs and top-tier chefs. It had to be said that the changes in the competition format sparked widespread discussions globally, and the public welcomed them.

The reason was similar to the mentorship seen in workplaces or skilled trades, where a combination of old and young was more intriguing and sparked more discussions.

The Far Moon Team was at a disadvantage as they had only one registered Lin Chef, Zhu Qing, which meant their only combination for the competition was her and Xia Yu.

In contrast, formidable opponents such as the teams from the Eight-Sided Tower and the White Jade Tower each had two Lin Giant leaders. Dojima Yin’s mention of approximately 60 combinations in the first round’s melee came from this fact.

"Has the Far Moon Team arrived at their villa yet..."

The office of the Sapporo Tournament Committee.

The Executive Chairman, Kogawa Shinyiro, turned on the TV and flipped through the tournament’s official channel for updates on the participating teams.

His secretary, Sanjing Taku, stood respectfully by his side, silent.

In the frame, Dojima Yin stood at the entrance of the villa, taking an interview.

"Our combination for the competition? It has been decided. The sole Lin Chef of our team, Miss Zhu, will be paired with Instructor Xia. Please believe that they will deliver an impressive culinary performance for the global audience on the field."

As expected!

Hearing this, a sharp glint appeared in Kogawa Shinyiro’s eyes.

"Zhu Qing and Xia Yu as a team?" He turned to look at Sanjing Taku, "The documents from the Eight-Sided Tower and the White Jade Tower were submitted a couple of days ago, weren’t they? What about their combinations?"

The secretary immediately responded, "From the Eight-Sided Tower, the two combinations are Yan Mo, Lin Miao, and Dubian Yuuki, Wu Yingying."

From the White Jade Tower, it’s Xue Feichen, Li Quan, and Lan Chuhai, Li Han."

"Huh—"

Kogawa Shinyiro exhaled and said, "It seems, in the second stage, everyone will show their unique abilities... The winner will also be the king!"

"Who will be the strongest Lin Chef, the supreme chef?"

Secretary Sanjing Taku also looked forward to the official competition three days later with great anticipation.

Knock knock!

A knock on the door, and a female staff member wearing a red vest pushed the door open and said, "Chairman, the guests have arrived; they’re in the meeting room."

There was sweat on the woman’s face, as though she had just escaped from hell, fear lingering in her eyes.

Seeing this, Kogawa Shinyiro said, "Sanjing, no need for you to follow."

"Yes!"

Secretary Sanjing Taku could only bow and watch his boss leave. He glanced at the female staff member wiping her sweat with a handkerchief and wondered: What kind of five judges could they be?

He knew that the guests were high-profile figures the tournament leaders had gone to great lengths to invite, apparently even enlisting the help of pillars from the Neon Food World...

The meeting room.

Upon hearing the door open, the four mysterious guests shrouded in large black robes turned around in unison.

"Welcome!"

Kogawa Shinyiro entered and bowed in greeting.

"Are you the Executive Chairman of the tournament?"

An authoritative, aged voice inquired as the lead elder lifted his hood, spilling silver hair down. His deep, dark eyes flashed with a hint of red. The aged voice surprisingly was paired with a face that did not seem old.

Kogawa Shinyiro replied respectfully but firmly.

"Why are there only four of you?" he then asked with confusion, "The fifth one..."

"Has been invited and will come on the day of the official competition," answered the elder.

"Then, let us discuss the topics for the three official matches. Feel free to share your thoughts!"

"Ha, hahaha!"

A hearty laugh laced with a trace of mischief spread through the room.

Bang!

A gourd-shaped wine pot was slammed onto the table, and the robed man with a laughing expression suddenly pulled the stopper from the mouth of the pot, releasing an exotic fragrance of wine that instantly permeated the air like pouring gas.

Kogawa Shinyiro took a breath and felt his head gradually become heavy, as if drunk. He woke with a start and shook his head, realizing he had been affected, and immediately held his breath.

"Wine!"

A young and vibrant voice, bursting with energy.

From beneath the hood, a handsome face was faintly visible, and he said with a smile, "Fine wine, our beloved!"

He looked at the other three robed judges.

"Right?"

"As long as it’s wine... everyone loves it!" said one of the robed figures, making a Buddhist gesture with his hand, his voice also filled with laughter, "With wine, chefs have enough room to exercise their creativity, no problem, right?"

"I don’t mind..."

The fourth voice was ethereal and difficult to grasp, a soft woman’s voice that seemed both distant and close.

...

Sapporo had returned to the bustling state it was in ten days before.

Online and offline, the topics of the three main competition rounds were fiercely debated.

Television networks, and even print media, joined the big discussion. To normal thinking, such a grand event and contest would certainly involve incredibly difficult questions, requiring numerous discussions and scientific validation.

Perhaps no one could have predicted that, amid the noise, the questions would be settled so easily.

In the afternoon.

The official TV channel of the tournament hosted a pre-competition promotional program, with female presenters Chiyoda Aichi and Dubian Yuuki presiding.

"I’ve got a list here of the team combinations for each competing group."

Chiyoda Aichi said.

"Which combination does everyone favor? The strength of the Lin Chef is very important, but the collaborating master chefs can’t just be dead weight..." Chiyoda Aichi threw the topic to the invited guests of the program.

A famous gourmet immediately interjected, "I want to know the detailed information about the Lin Chef from the Far Moon Team!"

"Exactly!"

"The strength of Chef Xia in the master chef realm is beyond any doubt, and if the Lin Chef he’s paired with is competent, their combination will have a strong competitive edge—"

Other guests echoed.

They also knew where the hotspot was and were eager to get involved.

Zhu Qing...

At this moment, an untold number of people following the tournament, as well as the Far Moon Team, grew intensely curious about this name.

A very mysterious female Lin Chef.

The tournament officials had their official promotion and publicity, and other media were not far behind, stirring up issues.

For example, some media went to interview several competing teams that stood in opposition to the Far Moon Team.

"Comments on the Zhu Qing and Xia Yu pairing?"

The leader of the Gourmet Association’s Research Faction, known as the ’Research Maniac’ Lei Zhe, looked coldly at the camera and spoke, "Sorry, no comment... but this will be a battle of revenge!"

"The lost championship, the lost points, I will personally reclaim them!"

Lei Zhe declared with conviction, "To cleanse the disgrace!"

"At the same time... to seize the legendary culinary utensil ’Jade Dragon Pot.’ Such an item should be displayed in the museum at the Gourmet Association Headquarters—"

The Orlando Academy Faction.

"An interesting grand battle. But we will stand out and strive for a promotion seat!" said Lin Giant Dizani, known as the ’Professor of Heavenly Eye,’ with his daughter Elizabeth by his side, charmingly.

France Academy Team.

"We will redeem ourselves!" Bernard spoke on their behalf.

Tang’s Team, White Jade Tower Team.

"Be careful!" It was Yuqiong who spoke on behalf of Lin Giant Tangshan, "This time, the ’Dragon Pot’ sauce will show its true power! Please look forward to tasting it!"

Li Han and Uncle Quan exchanged glances and said to the camera, "We only care about the final victory."

The female Lin Giant Lan Chuhai spoke deeply,

"Zhu Qing, I hope you don’t get eliminated in the first round..."

In the living room of the Ookura Mountain Villa, Zhu Qing saw this and became so angry that her eyebrows inverted, almost smashing the remote control to pieces.

At the same time.

Letters from the office of the Sapporo Tournament Committee were also mailed to the lodgings of each competing team on that day.
