After a few days without any progress, Luo Mingyi simply went straight for it.

"Ms. Lu, what do you think of me?"

After these words were spoken, Lu Yunxi hadn't reacted yet, but Qiu Yan outside was secretly gritting her teeth.

Good job, Luo Mingyi, you really have bad intentions! I still need to discuss this matter with Shen San first.

"How are you? You're doing well, cheerful and enthusiastic, and good-looking... Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"So do you like me?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "Like?" It was strange! Why did Luo Mingyi suddenly ask her this question? Did he receive a mission to capture an NPC?

Luo Mingyi was a little unhappy: "You're lying! You obviously don't like me!"

She was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of the favorability module in the system. Since she had a favorability display here, it made no sense that it wouldn't be displayed on the player's side.

"Sorry, you're a good person, everyone likes you." She immediately played the nice guy card. If the task required her to say she liked him, it wouldn't matter, but if she really wanted to increase her favorability... that was impossible.

At this time, Shen San saw that Qiu Yan had not come over for a long time, so he came over to look for someone.

He almost laughed out loud when he heard this just as he reached the door.

"Then do you like Shen San?" Luo Mingyi suddenly asked again.

Shen San’s footsteps froze in place for a moment, and his heartbeat began to become a little chaotic.

He took a deep breath and listened carefully against the wall.

Lu Yunxi twitched her eyes: "Of course I like him, he is very hardworking." Both apprentices are very serious and hardworking, and she likes them both.

Luo Mingyi curled his lips and said, "Ms. Lu, you're really unfair. Even though you say he's a good person, you obviously like him very much, right? Between him and me, you always side with him."

"..." If he doesn't favor his apprentice, how could he be partial to a stranger like him?

After that day, no one knew what Luo Mingyi was thinking, but he never chased after her again.

I guess I gave up pursuing her.

Lu Yunxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At the dinner table.

Four people sat together.

"Master, my hometown is going to hold a cooking competition soon. The theme is cooking with eggs. What do you think of my making tomato and egg soup?" Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Qiu Yan suddenly spoke.

Luo Mingyi was startled and quickly winked at her. What the hell is Qiu Yan doing?! Does she even remember where this place is? Is there a competition back home?! Now she's trapped here, how did she know there was a competition back home? How could she even participate?

Seeing him blinking non-stop, Qiu Yan was a little confused. When she realized that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly turned her head to look at her master's face.

However, Lu Yunxi had already known about this from the forum - in the interstellar world, the annual chef competition was about to begin.

Qiu Yan probably wants to become famous in this competition.

The competition is divided into preliminaries, preliminary rounds and finals.

In this competition, whether or not to advance to the preliminaries is determined by the public, while the preliminary and final rounds are judged by people from the Chefs Association.

The preliminaries are broadcast live in a studio that connects all five senses, allowing viewers to savor them all at home.

Chef has always been a very rare profession. There is only this opportunity every year that everyone can really taste rare culinary foods. This event will attract nearly 90% of people around the world.

Once Qiu Yan becomes famous in this competition, her status in the Qiu family will rise sharply, and her parents and adoptive parents will have a much better life in the future and will not have to worry about being embarrassed anymore.

The topics for the preliminary and final rounds will be determined by drawing lots on site, while the topics for the preliminary rounds will be released in advance.

After sorting out the information he had received in his mind, Lu Yunxi nodded and said, "Eggs? Luckily, there are many pheasant eggs in the nearby mountains. Let's go get some tomorrow and teach you a few dishes."

In the next few days, in order to help Qiu Yan achieve good results in the competition, Lu Yunxi temporarily put aside other things at hand and was busy teaching her how to cook, including steamed eggs, bitter melon scrambled eggs, cakes, etc. There were home-cooked meals, desserts, and main dishes, there was always one that people would like!

"When making scrambled eggs with shrimp, remember..." Lu Yunxi instructed Qiu Yan very seriously, explaining every technique clearly.

Shen San beside them looked at them with a wooden face.

"Master, you really put your heart into teaching her!" He couldn't help but come closer and gave Qiu Yan a sour look.

It was fine that he had gone through a lot of hardships when he first became an apprentice, but later when he began to study with his master, the master only demonstrated it to him once, but did not explain it so carefully.

Qiu Yan smiled proudly: "Who made Master like me the most?"

Lu Yunxi: ...

The two started again.

She was a little helpless: "Shen San, when you first started learning, I taught you very attentively. Later, when you had a basic foundation, you naturally didn't need me to explain it much. In the future, when your junior sister has learned almost everything, it will be the same."

Time passed by under the rote learning method.

In a few days, the competition will begin.

"Master, I'm going to study in seclusion. You don't need to look for me. I brought a lot of food."

Lu Yunxi nodded, knowing that Qiu Yan was actually offline.

Not only was she busy with the competition, Luo Mingyi and Shen San also seemed to have something going on in real life and were not online these days.

*

There was no need to pretend all the time, and Lu Yunxi felt happy instantly.

While everyone was away, she moved into an underground dungeon, fighting monsters during the day and browsing forums and drinking wine at night, going to bed on time at nine o'clock in the evening.
