Chapter 387: An Unexpected Visitor
The biggest news of the year, New York's "All? In the second match of the "Blue" main competition, "Team Germinate" defeated the "Michelin Food Federation Team" in an upset!
What is even more shocking is that in the individual competition, Liu Pleusing, the 16-year-old leader of the "Germinate Team", actually defeated Paul, the president of the "Michelin Food Federation......
Although after the game, it has been confirmed that Paul's health is ill, and many media describe Paul as running out of oil and dying, as if he is about to die if he is not rescued in time, but in order to have a showdown with the young man he is optimistic about, he still resolutely plays the image......
But it is precisely this argument that at least makes ordinary people accept the fact of Paul's defeat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the individual match between the "Germinate Team" and the "Michelin Food Alliance Team", Liu Pleiades won one point, Kojiro Shinomiya won one point, and Hinata lost to another Michelin chef.
In the individual competition, the "Germinate team" actually led by a score of 2:1......
Immediately after the team competition in the afternoon, the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" announced that it would abandon the competition, and the "Germinate Team" directly advanced.
The abandonment of the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" team was actually expected by many people after the individual competition in the morning.
After all, Paul's state is obviously unable to continue to compete, and the seven members of the "Michelin Food Federation Team" are also composed of three chefs who are preparing to participate in the individual competition, including Paul, and four chefs who cooperate with Paul.
If Paul can't participate, then the other two chefs and the four chefs will not have any tacit cooperation......
Even if you are forced to participate in the team competition, this kind of hard-to-make team will only try to make people laugh when they compete with chefs of the same level.
The most important thing is that even if the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" advances, Paul's situation may have to miss the following games, since he can't win the championship, it is meaningless for the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" to continue playing......
So in the afternoon, Paul, who was recuperating, announced his retirement from the game from his hospital bed.
And what is noteworthy is that Paul also specially invited Liu Pleiades to go there, and everyone speculated that President Paul was really optimistic about Liu Pleiades, and at the same time, he also admired Paul's mind......
didn't know that after Paul asked the others to leave the ward first, what he discussed with Liu Pleiades would immediately cause the world to panic if it came out!
After the winner of the "Dark Cuisine Duel", the curse in the "Pot of Greed" was purified, and many of the discords that Paul had ignored because of the guidance of the "curse" were gradually recalled by him......
Especially the memories of the game, Paul knew that things might have been more than he expected!
Fortunately, Paul has also seen the dragon chef with strong winds and waves, so he didn't mess up, thinking of Liu Pleiades' performance at that time, it seemed that he knew something, and judging from the sudden ignition of fighting spirit towards Liu Pleiades for no reason in his heart at that time, it all shows that Liu Pleiades should have played a special role in this "vision".
And Liu Pleiades found that President Paul had returned to normal except for his physical weakness, and he also remembered the previous events, and after thinking about it, he also informed him about the "cataclysm".
After all, Paul is the president of Michelin, so he can tell how to deal with this kind of news, and he doesn't have to worry about the spread of panic.
The most important thing is that Paul now remembers the previous events, and if he still tries to lie, I am afraid that Paul will be alerted and think too much, and it will be in vain.
Instead, he directly told him that he believed that as the president of the Michelin Food Federation, he could distinguish between the important and the important!
ββ¦β¦ That's it, you get the idea? β
"Can I say I don't understand at all? Or do you tell meγAre you kidding? Paul smiled wryly
"No, with your wisdom, I think if you face reality, you will definitely understand." Liu Pleiades didn't give him a chance to play stupid.
"If it weren't for the fact that I remember some of the things that happened before, I wouldn't have believed what you said...... Did the people from the Dragon Chef Alliance know? Paul obviously also thinks that Liu Pleiades has an unusual relationship with the guys of the Dragon Chef Alliance from the name!
"They don't know either, now besides me, there is another owner of the 'Jade Dragon Cauldron', Erina, only you and our commander-in-chief know." Liu Pleiades said.
"It's because ...... Can't be known by 'us'? Although Paul was nearly sixty years old, he was still quick to react to it.
"That's right, if the Dragon Chef is already affected by the 'curse' knows, it may push the situation in an even more unpredictable direction."
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Actually, there is nothing, pay attention to secrecy, and try to pay more attention to the southern African side, but don't be found by others, and the other thing is this competition...... The Nagi thistle of the American Culinary Development Association was already unpleasant to my eyes, and because of the curse, I am afraid that this reaction will be exacerbated......"
"Bastards of the Culinary Society of the Americas! Speaking of which, they also prepared a fake 'Jade Dragon Pot', right? When Paul heard the name of the Culinary Development Association of the Americas, he was furious.
At the beginning, it was the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" that was the first to agree and advocate the "Culinary Development Association of the Americas" as the "The? Blue".
This edition was supposed to be held by the "Michelin Gastronomy Federation" to hold the "The? Blueββ¦β¦
However, because it is a fact that the strength of the "Culinary Development Association of the Americas" is increasing day by day, Paul thinks that sooner or later it will become the fourth largest culinary organization, and because the two have a great "blood relationship" in the inheritance of cuisines, Paul hopes that Michelin will help the Inter-American Development Association to complete this critical kick.
Since it is no longer possible to completely expand the Americas into a Michelin zone of influence, it is not a bad idea to take the opportunity to win a hardcore ally for yourself!
Later, the Inter-American Development Association did not disappoint him, bringing "The? Blue's "All? Blue", although there is a reason why the dragon chefs were affected by the "curse" and the collective brain pumping, but the American Development Association finally won the right to host it, but it was before the curse occurred......
Paul also lamented that the people of the American Development Association were lucky to find something that the Dragon Chef Alliance valued so much.
However, now that it is known that the "Jade Dragon Cauldron" is fake, Paul is also the most angry!
Because if this kind of thing is exposed, although the Michelin Gastronomy Federation, which supported the American Development Association at the beginning, will not be directly implicated, but its credibility will also be questioned!
Paul's thoughts now are probably this: Of the three major cooking organizations, I am the only one who is your ally, and you are willing to gamble on my reputation?
Of course, Liu believes that the top management of the "American Culinary Development Association" should not know, at least a huge part of them do not know, and it is completely a desperate gamble of Nagi thistle......
After all, in his heart, whether it is the credibility of the American Development Association or Michelin, if it is for his own ideals, it can be used as a bargaining chip.
However, Liu Pleiades still has to admire Paul's big heart.
I just learned about the "cataclysm", and I still have the heart to be indignant and dissatisfied with the "American Culinary Development Association......
After leaving Paul's special ward, Liu returned to "All? A hotel for the contestants during the "Blue" period.
On the way, Yuhime and others also called over and asked him to participate in the "celebration banquet" in the evening, which was the room of Zenji Marui in another hotel booked by Tozuki two streets away......
"Let's wait until tomorrow Erina's match is also won, and then let's celebrate together." Liu Pleiades excused.
Not so much for the "All? Blue" how much importance it is, if there is no "cataclysm" thing, Liu Pleiades will go with them nine times out of ten......
"Huh? Is that so...... All right! I'll be waiting for you in Marui's room tomorrow, so let's celebrate by ourselves today! Yuhime said.
Sure enough, even if Liu Pleiades, the protagonist of the celebration, was not present, it would not affect them to hold a "celebration party......
And after Liu Pleiades returned to the hotel, surprisingly he didn't go to Erina, but went directly to the cooking room!
Regarding the fact that the dragon chefs can fully exert the effect of "cursed kitchenware", Liu Pleiades called Erina after the competition.
As for now...... Erina is still in the cooking room, right?
Liu Pleiades only informed Erina of the news of his victory and the possible situation of his opponent, but did not bother her.
Because Liu Pleiades could guess that Erina must be doing everything to prepare tomorrow's recipe, that's why she didn't even watch her own game.
"I can't be idle!" Liu Pleiades muttered.
Although Liu Pleiades doesn't know the topic of the next competition, or even who the next opponent will be, Liu Pleiades also doesn't plan to waste any time.
After discovering the true power of Paul's ability to use the "cursed kitchenware", Liu Pleiades understood that these "final showdowns" would be more difficult than he imagined......
Being able to defeat Paul this time can be said to be the right time, the right place, and the right people, compared to Paul, Liu Pleiades has all the advantages, so he narrowly defeated the other party.
Even so, the score is only "4:1", you must know that in a game of this nature, as long as it is not a one-sided result, it can almost be said to be "evenly matched"!
And for Liu Pleiasion, he has already found that when he competes on the field this time, the other dragon chefs are sitting in the audience below.
This is Liu Pleiasion's first appearance in front of other dragon chefs after owning the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot", it is conceivable that although they are not yet able to pounce directly, but in their thinking, they must have regarded Liu Pleiades as a great enemy, and the dragon chefs who will duel him in the future will definitely become serious, and it is impossible to be as careless as Paul......
However, there is also good news, that is, when he played with Paul before, Liu Pleiades's division duel was successful, and the effect was better than Liu Pleiades imagined!
It is estimated that even Ling'er doesn't know how much benefit he can gain by launching the "Si Ming Cuisine" against a dragon-level chef and winning the battle.
After all, in the era when the "Division Commander Duel" was popular, there was no dragon-level chef yet, and when the first dragon-level chef appeared 7,000 years ago, human beings were already on the verge of life and death.
In later generations, although some people have discovered some scattered "Commandery Duel" inheritances, and the situation is no longer so dangerous, it is not easy for dragon-level chefs to appear......
Except for Liu Pleiades who was forced to a dead end this time, otherwise there would be no chefs below the dragon level, vainly trying to launch a "division duel" against the dragon level chefs, and after Ling'er sealed the "cursed kitchenware", it is very rare for two "dragon chefs" to appear at the same time in the world.
Even if it appears, it is generally separated from the north and the south, and it is usually not in a culinary civilization circle.
In an era when humanity lost most of its civilization, this also meant that even if two dragon cooks appeared, they might not see each other in their lifetime.
Even if they meet, what are the chances that at least one of them will know the "battle of orders"?
Even if one party knows how to "fight against orders", but they are already at the top, what are the odds of trying to find another peak?
Therefore, Liu Pleiades estimated that in the "Commander-in-Mind Duel", the chef who defeated Chef Long should be the first!
The next time he meets Ling'er, Liu Pleiades can also brag and brag, although Liu Pleiades's "first" gold content is far inferior to Ling'er's "first", but it can also be said that it is not?
At least Liu Pleiades discovered what would happen after launching the "Division Death Duel" against the dragon-level chefs!
The gain is far more than that of Carlo, who is second only to the dragon level, and launched the "Commander Duel" and succeeded...... No, to be precise, the two are no longer the same meaning.
In the cooking duel, the will of the chef will affect the ingredients or himself, and at the same time, a part of it will escape, whether it is material or spiritual cooking, in a successful dish, the chef puts his own will, but for the chef who is good at material cooking, the object of the will is himself, and for the chef who is good at spiritual cooking, the will is the source used to change the ingredients.
And the principle of "Commandery Duel" is that after winning, it can absorb the will of the opponent.
Although you can't directly use other people's wills for your own use like the "Northern Shengong" in martial arts novels, you can use this part of your will as a "teaching material" to learn slowly......
However, judging from the results of the previous "division duel", this part of the "teaching materials" is bound to be scattered, but after defeating Paul, Liu Pleiades's gains are completely different!
Although in terms of "quantity", the victory over Paul is only slightly more than after the victory over Carlo, but the will is very complete!
The former is like a detailed idea of a classic example question in the college entrance examination, while the latter is equivalent to tearing up the "five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation", and then picking out the amount of "one question......
Compared with the former, the latter is more suitable for mutual verification with your existing knowledge, and if you really want to master the knowledge that you don't have before, the former is more useful!
If you use the boss to describe the explosion of equipment, Carlo is the material that exploded all over the place, but you can't make a piece of equipment with these materials, and you have to exchange it with others and buy drawings to play their role, while Paul directly exploded a superb equipment!
Obviously, the two can play a completely different role.
Because before tomorrow's game, Liu Pleiades was not going to go to Erina, so he didn't ask Ling'er why, but Liu Pleiades himself could guess some ......
Probably because after the chef reaches the dragon level, there is a fundamental gap between the chef and the chef below the dragon level.
No matter how close you are to the dragon level, there is a difference between "perfect" and "unperfect" between the dragon level and the dragon level.
Other words...... Chef Dragon's will is so unanimous that even if he only cuts off a part, it is impossible to destroy its integrity!
It's like if you just stick several kinds of plasticine together, you can pull off a piece of any color, or it may be several colors, but if you knead different kinds of plasticine together, and then pull off a piece...... It may seem like a color that will affect your appetite, but if you are really serious, it is definitely a combination of all colors.
Now Liu Pleiaus, who has had enough of the incomplete version and has to assemble and interpret the "five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation" by himself, directly picked up the example problem analysis and started a new round of grinding guns......
Early the next morning, when the students of Yuanyue were in the audience, watching the game between the "Seed Team" and the "Brahmin Tasting Association Team", Yuji looked around for a long time, but did not find Liu Pleias, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter with these two people?" I didn't see Erina Ko yesterday either...... Could it be a quarrel? β
"Ah Xing said that he was going to stay and practice today, and time was running out." Chuangzhen said.
"Then why didn't you practice?"
"The seniors of the four palaces have all come to watch the game, and it's useless for me and Da Mi to practice by ourselves, right?"
Indeed, Sojin and Misaku only have the opportunity to play in the team competition, and they are not in a hurry to practice individually, so they naturally won't miss the game!
In fact, in the eyes of other players, it is also the same......
Contestants, which cooking skill is not the result of more than ten years or decades of hard work?
What is the effect of just practicing this day more? Let's take a look at other excellent chefs, are they not good at cooking?
They naturally can't understand how urgent Liu Pleiades is now, it's not a question of whether he can't win the championship...... And I can't understand that Liu Pleiades is now sharpening his knives in the battle, and there are "teaching materials"!
And whether it is Erina or Liu Pleia, the reason why they will not enter the competition unless they are competing is one of the most important reasons, which is to reduce the number of disagreements with other dragon chefs as much as possible.
According to Ling'er's analysis, with the current impact of the curse on the dragon chefs, when directly competing with Liu Pleiades or Erina, they will inevitably launch a "dark cuisine showdown" and bet on human recipes......
At the same time, if Liu Pleiades or Erina are too close to other dragon chefs, there is also the possibility that the dragon chef will lose his personal consciousness and forcibly launch a "dark cuisine showdown"!
When Liu Pleiades went to see Lin Yi and Chengichiro in private before, it was true that after Liu Pleiades talked with them for a while, they began to show signs of absent-mindedness, and if they didn't have anything, they guided the topic in the direction of "testing Liu Pleias's cooking skills".
You must know that at that time, Liu Pleiades had not yet obtained the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Cauldron"!
If it were now, once the distance was too close, Liu Pleiades suspected that the other party would directly launch a "dark cooking duel", rather than just being guided by the "curse".
So yesterday on the competition field, after Liu Pleiades won, he left the scene immediately, and then went to visit Paul, not only to avoid reporters, but also to avoid being bumped into by several other dragon chefs.
Otherwise, not only may you have a "dark cooking showdown" without any equipment, but you may also be noticed by ordinary people, which will cause panic.
"Erina has already started the game at this time, right? The Brahmin has a 'dragon pot', which can speed up the fermentation of the ingredients without fully functioning and using the main body directly, and when it is fully functional, it can not only ferment instantly, but also guide the direction of fermentation by one's own will...... I don't know if Erina will meet him in the individual competition or if he will be dragged to the team competition. β
Liu Pleiades couldn't help but put down the kitchen knife, and his heart was tumbling back and forth about Erina's affairs......
Although I want to concentrate, I also know that my worries are a waste of time, but I still can't help myself, I guess yesterday morning, Erina should be in this state, right?
"You can't concentrate while cooking, but it's a big no-no for cooks!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of the door of the cooking room behind him, and after Liu Pleiades heard it, his hair immediately stood on end and he almost jumped up.
Although I was really distracted just now, the people who were able to enter the cooking room without noticing Liu Pleias, who had super five senses, definitely exceeded the category of "ordinary people"!
What's more, the moment Liu Pleiades heard this voice, he recognized the identity of the other party......
"Solution, master solution...... Why didn't you go to the game? Liu Yuexing's tone was marked with obvious nervousness and vigilance.
Normally, players from other teams will not appear in the cooking room of other teams for the sake of "melon fields and plums"!
Even if Xie Yunlong doesn't care about this, at this time, he should be a spectator on the field......
"Just look at your performance, the old man is obviously the right one." Master Xie's words made Liu Pleiades more and more uneasy.
"Ahem, I just remembered something, you don't have anything important, I won't accompany you for now."
When Master Xie was in Hokkaido, he also helped himself a lot, and when he was in the "Godfront Cooking Duel", he was even regarded as a god-assisted teammate by Liu Pleiades, but now he ...... Liu Pleiades had to be rude!
Seeing that when Liu Pleiades spoke, he had already aimed at the window next to him, Xie Yunlong couldn't help but say, "No, I think my affairs are more important...... Legendary kitchenware, is there a problem? β
Hearing Xie Yunlong's words, Liu Pleiades understood what the oldest dragon chef in existence (Ling'er is not an extant one) had discovered, but he didn't feel any excitement in his heart, because according to Ling'er, being known by them to the truth of the matter would only complicate the impact of the "curse" on him......
What made Liu Yuexing a little puzzled was that at least for now, Master Xie didn't seem to have anything too abnormal.
However, at this moment, Xie Yunlong took off the same style of toad sunglasses as the turtle immortal, and saw that he was now in the shape of "I want to cultivate immortals......
The eyes are blood-red, the dark circles around the eyes are comparable to national treasures, and what is even more terrifying is that the muscles around the eye sockets have protruded, and there seems to be an earthworm still wriggling underneath!
"I think there are some things, it's better to solve them while the old man is still sober!" Master Xie's voice seemed to be trying his best to control his emotions......
