Chapter 2318, The Old City Lord's Trap
When he came back to his senses, Lin Zheng immediately called: "Fit! β
"Yes! My lord! Fett appeared gracefully, "Do you have any orders?" β
Lin Zheng looked at the chaotic square, and said with a headache: "You work hard, help find out the location of Qinglan and Qingxue!" β
"Okay sir, please wait!" As soon as the words fell, Fett immediately closed her eyes, and her powerful divine sense quickly spread in all directions.
When Fit was looking for someone, Lin Zheng's divine sense immediately swept towards the judging platform, however, when there was still some distance from the judging table, Lin Zheng's divine consciousness was violently bounced away! Looking at the gluttonous pillars around the judging platform, Lin Zheng immediately felt a pain in the eggs! This dead old man doesn't need to be so cautious, can anyone still run up to plot against you judges on this occasion?!
In the judges' seat, Vanessa saw Lin Zheng with a tangled face, and a helpless smile appeared on her face. Seeing this, the great painter Mana next to him asked, "What's wrong?" As she spoke, Mana's gaze fell on Lin Zheng and them, "Your brother Yiping, it doesn't look like you're in a very good mood!" β
Hearing this, Vanessa smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yiping, they came a little late today, and it seems that they didn't even hear the rules and locations of the game clearly just now!" As she spoke, Vanessa looked at the old lord faintly, and although she did not speak, she was obviously complaining to the old man!
"Ahemββ!" The old city lord coughed seriously and said, "Today's game is relatively difficult, if you don't start the game in advance, I'm afraid that the game will be delayed until tomorrow!" β
As soon as the words fell, an old man next to him smiled and said, "You made this competition so difficult, aren't you afraid to brush all the babies in one go?" This is only the second round of the competition! β
When the old city lord heard this, he laughed and said: "I am very confident in the baby of our fifth family, the difficulty of the competition is indeed very high, but I believe that the children who can pass the competition will not be less than 20%, with the number of participants today, the number of 20% is not less!" β
"Whatever you want! Anyway, this can only be regarded as your family business, we are just idle and bored to come and watch the fun! Oh! That's right! The other old man smiled as he spoke, "The first contestant who can come back will have to wait until the afternoon, and you can't let us sit here dryly for such a long time, right?" β
"The last time I saw the Nether Silver Bass you raised, they were all about to ripen, right? Why don't you have a drink today? β
"You two old things!" The old city lord laughed and scolded, "Every time you come over, you cheat to eat and drink, and you are not ashamed!" If you want to find something to eat, there's no way to find Nether Silver Bass! β
Listening to the laughter of the three old city lords, Vanessa sighed helplessly, it is really tiring to cooperate with this old man! After sighing in one breath, he looked at Lin Zheng and them, hoping that Brother Yiping and they could figure out the situation of the game as soon as possible!
"Found your lord!" Fett opened his eyes and said, "At present, Qinglan is still acting alone, while Qingxue is entangled by Qingyang and has formed a team with him temporarily. β
"Why is that guy again?!" Hearing Qingyang's name, everyone felt irritated, what they wanted to watch was the romantic comedy between Qinglan and Qingxue, as for the entanglement of the wealthy young master with Qingxue, forget it! Anyway, this character is the most annoying thing when watching TV!
Although he was not happy, Lin Zheng could only say helplessly: "This man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, people go to pursue Qingxue, and we can't say that he is not, only blame Qingxue's girl for usually pretending to be too much, and now it is troublesome to change her image!" Otherwise, there is no need to compromise with Qingyang! β
"No way!" Yang Qi's face suddenly became serious, "I'm not going to stare at Qingyang's nasty face for a while, I must find a chance to separate him from Qingxue later, sure enough, Qingxue still has to be with Qinglan to be interesting!" β
Lin Zheng heard a burst of amusement, "Okay, you!" Now that you have the time to think about this, you might as well hurry up to the forum to see if there is any information about the competition! β
"This kind of thing should happen, those big water monsters won't let go of such a good water post topic! You wait, I'll find out! β
"Don't just wait, let's follow Qinglan and them first!" After that, Lin Zheng casually threw a piece of elemental crystal on the ground, and when it landed, the elemental crystal bloomed with brilliant brilliance, and when the light disappeared, a rather luxurious carriage appeared in front of everyone, and everyone exclaimed!
"Brother Divine Stick! How do you do it? Xiaomeng asked with adoring eyes, "This is amazing, it's like a fairy tale I watched when I was a child!" Ah, by the way, Brother Stick, can you turn a pumpkin into a carriage? β
This girl is Cinderella, right?! couldn't help laughing, Lin Zheng said: "I haven't tried this!" Why don't you buy a pumpkin and I'll try it? β
"Oh! I'll go! Xiao Meng screamed excitedly, she was really ready to run to buy pumpkins, seeing this, Lilith couldn't help it, hugged this girl and rubbed her head, "You stupid girl!" β
"But Brother Divine Stick is so powerful!" Xiao Meng's eyes were still shining, "Maybe you can!" β
As soon as Xiao Meng's words fell, Xiao Mo pinched Lin Zheng: "Look at the good things you did, I don't know if this girl believes your words the most?" β
Lin Zheng bared his teeth, "I didn't fool Xiaomeng!" Maybe you can have some elemental crystallization! β
"Go!" Xiao Mo and Liuli spat this guy at the same time, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get in the car!" I don't know where Qinglan and they ran to later! β
At that moment, everyone quickly got into the carriage, the carriage was transformed by Lin Zheng according to the impression, this impression came from the one Vanessa rode in when she came, and the interior space was decorated so luxurious and comfortable! The spacious seats were soft and elastic, and as soon as a few silly girls got on the bus, they jumped up on the seats excitedly like children who didn't grow up, and everyone couldn't laugh or cry one by one.
In the driver's seat, Lin Zheng turned around and shouted at the carriage full of laughter: "All sitting!" Immediately by car! β
When he looked back, he saw that Fett had already grabbed the reins, and heard her say, "My lord, get ready!" You're ready to go! β
What an all-round maid! Looking at Fit, who had a serious expression, Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "Then let's go!" β
"Yes! My lord! After speaking, Fit shook the reins in his hand suddenly, only to hear the sound of "pop-", the dragon horse pulling the cart neighed, and with the horse's hooves jumping, the luxurious carriage galloped up the street, and the noisy crowd saw the galloping carriage rushing towards it, and hurriedly got out of the way, and inevitably let out bursts of abuse in their mouths! Where did the second ancestor come from, Gluttonous City is now so crowded that he dares to set up a carriage to rampage through the streets! However, just as the carriage was approaching the crowd, the carriage, it flew up!
The carriage was galloping high in the air, and several girls stuck their heads out of the window in unison, although they could fly, but that feeling was completely different from sitting on a flying carriage! For a while, the stupid girls who had not stopped for long let out bursts of exclamations from their mouths.
Lin Zheng glanced down, but saw that the road leading to the east of Gluttonous City was densely packed with people, because the crowd was too big, and it was inevitable that there would be some collisions when they were walking away from each other. If there is a quarrel because of the collision, and the quarrel is not enjoyable, then the fight will begin! As a result, Lin Zheng could see the area where people were fighting everywhere at a glance!
Before the game officially started, there was already such a big commotion, and Lin Zheng was speechless for a while! How bad is the content of this official competition to make this group of guys nervous about this virtue?!
Just as Lin Zheng was muttering about the content of the game, Yang Qi's surprise cry suddenly came from behind him: "Found it!" Found Xiaolinzi! β
Before Lin Zheng could react, Yang Qi's head came out behind Lin Zheng and them, and said with a smile: "I found the content of the game, Xiao Linzi!" β
"Then you should hurry up!" Lin Zheng smiled angrily, "Everyone is waiting!" β
"What! Sister, it took me so much effort to find out the news, how can you praise me! β
"Yes, yes, yes! My Kiki is the best, she is simply a detective, and she searches for the information she needs in three or two clicks! That's great! β
"Hey, hey! It's not as good as you say! β
"Go!" Lin Zheng knocked Yang Qi's brain emperor funny, "Hurry up!" β
At the moment, Yang Qi told everyone the details of the rules of the second round of the competition. The old city lord said that this second round of the competition was very terrifying, after all, he was ready to brush off eighty percent of the contestants in one breath, and it felt quite bluffing! However, in terms of the environmental difficulty of the level, there is not much threat to Lin Zheng and their team! Of course, this is for Lin Zheng and them personally, but this competition has made a greater test of the contestants' own ability!
Overall, this round of the competition will be divided into four parts! To put it simply, each part corresponds to a map of an area, and contestants need to choose the most suitable ingredients in this area! Once you've cleared all the zones, contestants need to use the ingredients they've collected from each zone to create a recipe.
This dish is also required, and the contestants must highlight the ingredients they have collected in the dish, but only one! At the end of the course, the culinary works will be tasted and scored by the judges, and the scoring rules are the same as in the first round, but there is also a material score. The materials in each area are different according to the grade, respectively, representing the different scores of 1-10, and when the final score is calculated, it will be calculated according to the type of ingredients added by the contestants in the dish, and if there are two or more in the same area, only the one with the lowest score will be taken! Therefore, it is useless for the contestants to cook well, and the ingredients selected must be passed, otherwise, the final average score will be dragged down by the materials, and thus fail out!
"Doesn't that sound like it's difficult?"
As soon as Mei Hong's words fell, Fit shook his head and said, "No! This is actually a very big problem! β
Lin Zheng was still very confident in Fit, after all, Fit was also a great chef, so he immediately asked, "What do you say?" β
As she drove the carriage, Fett explained, "From what Miss Kiki just said, we know that if you want to get enough points to pass the competition, then the score of the ingredients and the final dish must not be too low! However, there is a very big trap in it! β
"Trap?!" Yang Qi read the rules of the game again, and then said suspiciously: "I don't see any problems!" β
"Let me start with a question! If you were a participant, what would you do? β
As soon as the words fell, Yuyuko immediately replied: "Of course, I will pick the ingredients with the highest scores and make the best food!" β
"That's right! In general, everyone chooses the ingredients with the highest scores! However, this highest score is a trap in itself! Because it's the opposite of what needs to be cooked at the end! β
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, Fett continued: "The more advanced the ingredients, the more prominent their own flavors, and only a very small number of high-end ingredients are famous for auxiliary ingredients!" So, when four high-end ingredients are gathered together for cooking, even the most astute chef can't suppress the flavor of three of them! In this way, once someone cooks with four high-grade ingredients, then he will fall into the final trap, even if he can barely make the dish, but because he has been out of the limit of only one ingredient that can be highlighted, the score after renting will be very small, at that time, even if all the ingredients are full marks, he will not be able to make his average score reach the passing line! β
After everyone heard this, they showed a sudden look, so it was, this is really a very dangerous trap! "But the fifth one is all cooks, they should be aware of this kind of problem, right?"
Xiao Mo's voice fell, but Fit shook his head again, "It's not such a simple thing, Miss Xiao Mo, you know, in the absence of the restriction of competition, the chefs are doing their best to cook the best food!" At that time, as long as it was an ingredient that could be cooked, chefs would not think about it that much! It's not that a variety of high-end ingredients can't cook food, on the contrary, as long as you match them, the more high-end ingredients you have, the more top-notch food you can cook! Under this long-term habitual thinking, I am afraid that many chefs will eventually fall into the trap even if they can collect enough ingredients! β
"Therefore, in this competition, regardless of the difficulty of obtaining ingredients, it is a great knowledge in the selection of ingredients! There is not much difference in the grade of the ingredients, and the flavor will not be too huge! This is actually a big restriction on the selection of ingredients for the contestants! If you want to get past the last trap, then you can only choose one ingredient with the highest score! The remaining three ingredients must be less than 5 points to ensure that the final cooking is the one that brings out the flavor of the superlative ingredients! β
Listening to Fett's explanation, Lin Zheng couldn't help but scratch his head for a while, of course, he was definitely not the only one who scratched his head, but he didn't expect that old man to hide so many traps just in the conditions of the game! It's a shame that they have a top chef like Fett here, otherwise, with their idea that there is no difference between them and the public, maybe they will give Qinglan and the two of them some trouble on the way to the game!
"I don't know if Qinglan and Qingxue can see the traps in the game clearly!" Brunhilde said a little worriedly, "Why don't we just go and talk to Qinglan?" If you explain it well, he will definitely believe that we are good people! β
"No!!" Lin Zheng laughed and said, "Then it's not interesting!" If we appear in front of Qinglan now, we may be able to make him believe in our identity, but in that case, we won't be able to hide in the dark and watch his romantic comedy with Qingxue like we are now! β
"yes!" Brunhilde immediately showed a sudden expression, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Then don't want it!" β
Does this stupid girl really believe the nonsense that the god stick says?!
Looking at BrΓΌnnhilde with a serious face, everyone couldn't help but laugh for a while, well, except for the other three stupid girls, of course, they are as serious as BrΓΌnnhilde! Holding back a smile, Lin Zheng continued: "Of course, there is another factor! This game, but the old city lord in order to pick out an excellent heir, the judgment to see through the trap, this is also the ability that an heir should have! We want to help Qinglan, but we can't help everything! We want to select a qualified city lord for Gluttonous City, but we don't help a city lord who gets through the tricks, so you understand?! β
"Got it!!" The four stupid girls answered very neatly, and inexplicably felt that they were great all of a sudden!
Looking at the stupid girls who were a little fluttering, Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Very good!" So, let's start dividing the team now, and our troops will be divided into two ways, one team will follow Qinglan, and the other team will follow Qingxue......"
"Me! I! Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Yang Qi couldn't wait to raise his hand and shouted, "I'm going to follow Qingxue!" β
"No way!" Lin Zheng rejected Yang Qi's request very simply, and immediately Yang Qi's eyes widened, "Why?!" β
Catching up with Yang Qi's unconvinced eyes, Lin Zheng smiled and kowtowed to her forehead, "I don't know your temper yet?!" If you are asked to follow Qingxue and them, you will have to rush out in a few minutes to find Qingyang's trouble! β
Yang Qi's mouth bulged when he heard this, "I just see that Qingyang guy is not happy!" β
"That's not enough!?" Lin Zheng asked funny, seeing Yang Qi's unhappy face, he said, "Okay!" Aren't you just not happy to see the snow and the sun together!? I'll find a chance to let Qingxue and Qinglan converge when I go back, so it's always okay, right? β
Hey! Listening to Lin Zheng's compromise, Yang Qi immediately smiled, but immediately said, "Remember not to let that guy from Qingyang follow!" β
"Got it!"
