Chapter 62: Knockout Themes
Qin Lang's curiosity didn't last long.
Because after announcing the scoring and ranking of the eight players who were promoted, the host's voice changed and opened the last link of the day.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the first round of the scoring competition of this year's Dongxia City Cooking Competition, but..."The host's voice paused slightly, and then became high again, "There is one last link today. ”
"That's the pre-tournament draw for the second round of eliminations that will take place in five days!"
"Now, look at our big screen!"
As the host's voice fell, the eight players on the field and the tens of thousands of spectators under the field looked at the huge electronic screen in the air.
At this moment, the electronic screen no longer presents the picture on the field in real time, it is divided into three areas: left, middle and right, with the heads of eight players on the left and right, and different types of entries in the middle.
The three areas of the electronic screen, under the host's order, began to scroll rapidly.
Soon, the scrolling of the avatar on the left stopped, and a somewhat handsome female contestant's avatar appeared on the electronic screen.
That was the fourth place in the rating competition, Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming, who had already adjusted his mentality, clenched his hands slightly, calmly staring at the avatar that was still scrolling on the other side of the screen.
Even more nervous than her were the four players behind her.
The ranking of the scoring round has an impact on the draw of the knockout round.
On the left of the electronic screen are the top four in the rating competition, and on the right are the bottom four in the rating competition.
Players on the same side will not meet in this match.
Soon, the avatar scrolling in the right area of the screen stopped.
Zhu Ming's opponent is Qiang Xiaofeng, who is sixth in the rating competition.
Seeing the result of this lottery, Qiang Xiaofeng's face suddenly became a little more complicated.
Of the four opponents he may have to face, Zhu Ming, who is ranked fourth, is clearly easier to deal with than the other three.
But... This relatively easy player to deal with is also not weak.
It's going to be an uphill battle for him.
Qiang Xiaofeng's eyes were firmly locked on the competition items that were still scrolling in the middle area of the electronic screen, and he prayed in his heart that this would be a subject that would be beneficial to him.
After a few moments, the rolling of the game stopped.
【Limit the value of ingredients】
"In the first game of the knockout round five days later, Zhu Ming vs. Qiang Xiaofeng!" The host's voice appeared at the right time, "The theme of the battle between the two is to limit the value of ingredients, and now the big screen will scroll again, pulling out the details of the two people's food fights!" ”
Almost at the same time as the host's voice fell, the middle area of the electronic screen that scrolled again stopped at the number "2000".
"Limit the value of ingredients, less than 2,000 yuan!"
"The two fighters have five days to prepare, so let's look forward to their showdown in five days!"
Seeing the subject matter of the draw, Qiang Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
This subject is what he is good at, if he is well prepared, he should have a chance to beat Zhu Ming... Probably.
"So now, the draw continues!"
Soon, another top-four player was selected.
It's Lake.
And his opponent slowly froze after a moment.
The moment he saw his avatar appear, Xiao He, who was eighth in the rating competition, was empty.
Oops!
What are you afraid of!
The two players, ranked fifth and seventh, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and couldn't help but mourn for Xiao He for a moment.
Lake and Xiao He's competition was finally decided to be a restricted food theme, and the specific theme was fish.
"Next, let's take a look at the players in the third game of the knockout round!"
After a brief introduction to the battle between Lake and Xiao He, the host spoke loudly.
The screen scrolls again.
After a while, looking at the slowly frozen left avatar, Danbao's eyes widened for a moment.
"Goo-too-toot!"
It's us!
"Yes." Qin Lang nodded, staring at the player's portrait on the right that had not yet been fixed.
Which of the remaining two will be his opponent?
Also staring at the screen are the fifth and seventh players who have not yet matched their opponents, Zhang Chen and White.
For the two of them, there aren't many options to match.
is either against Qin Lang or Tang Xie.
White showed an indifferent expression.
In his opinion, no matter which of these two matches, it will be difficult for him to advance in the knockout round.
So it doesn't matter who the opponent is.
On the other side, Zhang Chen was silently praying that he and Qin Lang would face each other.
Because he is very familiar with Tang Xie.
The two had fought many times, and he had never won against the other.
Tang Xie has become his psychological shadow, so Zhang Chen feels that he may have a chance to change his opponent.
"Deng... Mount... Ding-"
With the electronic sound spreading, the player's avatar on the other side of Qin Lang was finally frozen.
Fifth place in the rating competition, Zhang Chen!
Qin Lang subconsciously glanced at Zhang Chen, who was standing not far away, and couldn't help but scratch his head when he saw the other party showing a happy look.
Hit me... So happy?
Forget it, let's see what competition items are drawn.
Qin Lang's gaze returned to the electronic screen.
The scrolling of the item in the middle finally stopped, and he couldn't help but look at it in surprise as the freeze-frame entry appeared.
It was a new project that he had never experienced before.
【Warehouse Ingredients of Choice】
The so-called warehouse self-selection of ingredients does not mean that two royal chefs choose ingredients in one food warehouse.
The warehouse here refers to the warehouse of a given ingredient.
The Imperial Kitchen Association has formed hundreds of fixed food warehouses according to random combinations.
There are three kinds of meat ingredients, three kinds of vegetarian ingredients, three kinds of auxiliary ingredients and one random ingredient in the ingredient warehouse.
After drawing a certain ingredient library, in addition to the ten ingredients in the ingredient library, the Royal Spirit Chef can only use basic seasonings for cooking.
This is the rule of the warehouse's own ingredients.
Of the five events that can be selected one-on-one, this one is the easiest to roll over.
After all, there is too much uncertainty.
And Zhang Chen on the other side also showed nervousness.
He had done a few fights in this project, so he knew exactly how difficult it was.
I just hope that the drawn ingredient library can allow him to play normally.
Under the nervous gaze of the two, the middle area that re-scrolled on the electronic screen quickly froze, and what appeared on the screen was a number.
097。
This means that the ingredient library drawn by the two is No. 97.
"The third round of the knockout round will be conducted by Qin Lang and Zhang Chen!" The host spoke loudly, "The competition between the two of them is a self-selected ingredient in the warehouse!" ”
"I believe everyone knows that this project is very uncertain."
"So, let's take a look at the ingredients in the No. 97 ingredient warehouse that the two of them draw!"
In the middle part of the electronic screen, a paragraph of text soon emerged.
[No. 97 Ingredient Library Contents:
Meat ingredients: beef brisket, chicken thighs, pork hind legs
Vegetarian ingredients: carrots, tofu, rape
Ingredients: green onions, ginger, garlic
Special Ingredient: Rosemary】
Qin Lang retracted his gaze.
For the next five days, you have to prepare.
