The lights at the competition venue are bright.
Mingyue, Mengya and Di Hu walked into the gate of the competition venue, and loud applause broke out. The balcony on the second floor was full of people, and the three judges were also applauding.
"Congratulations to the three of you for reaching the finals. You've overcome countless difficulties to get to this point. Regardless of the outcome, you should applaud yourselves."
Hearing this, Mingyue and the others also applauded themselves.
The judges on stage continued, "Now, we welcome the highly anticipated cooking competition finals! Today, the three contestants will use three dishes to bring us a gourmet feast."
"Of course, before that, we have good news to share with you. Considering that you haven't seen your family and friends for a long time, we invited them to the scene to support you at such an important moment."
"Mengya, we have invited your parents and your sister."
"Di Hu, we have invited your mother and grandmother, as well as your friends."
The judges also invited the families of the two contestants to say some words of encouragement to them.
However, there was one person at the scene who was a little special.
Only Mingyue stood there alone, with no friends or family coming.
The contestants' families on the second floor noticed Mingyue's loneliness, and many of them looked at her with sympathy.
Someone sighed softly: "How pitiful this little girl is. None of her family members even came."
Others also murmured: "It's not easy for this person to come to the competition."
The judges also looked at Mingyue with distressed eyes. "Mingyue, we were unable to invite your family and friends, but you are not alone. The three of us judges are standing here to support you, and you also have two animal friends who are your solid backing."
As soon as the judges finished speaking, Mianbao and Xiaoman meowed very loudly, as if to say that they were right.
Mingyue then realized, oh, there is this link.
No wonder the program crew asked her if she had anyone to invite. After Mingyue shook her head, she received very sympathetic and regretful looks.
The program crew even thought they had said something wrong and kept comforting Mingyue, asking her not to mind it, saying that everyone in the program crew supported her and that she could tell them about any difficulties she had.
In fact, Ming Yueguang was concentrating on thinking about what dishes to prepare. Besides, her closest family members Xiaoman and Mianbao were around her, so she subconsciously felt that she could invite Li Mingzhu and others without realizing it for a while.
But think about it, if it were in my native world, my mother and grandmother would definitely stand on the second-floor balcony to cheer me on, just like Mengya and Di Hu's family.
And my masters in various worlds are like family members.
Thinking of her family, Mingyue doesn't feel lonely, she has many good memories.
These beautiful memories will not disappear because of separation. Instead, they will be like the stars in the night sky, quietly accompanying her, enough to support her to go on in this endless time.
She faced the judges with a smile.
"Although my family isn't here due to distance, I know they'll be silently supporting me from afar. I know this even without them arriving," Mingyue's voice was clear and powerful. "Also, I have my animal companions, Mianbao and Xiaoman. They're like family to me and are my loyal supporters. So, I won't lose."
Mingyue still had a smile on her face, and her eyes were shining with confidence.
Seeing that Mingyue's mentality was not affected, the judges nodded with satisfaction and continued with the process.
"The previously eliminated contestants have also returned to the scene to witness this moment together. Welcome back."
"Also, we have two special guests today: SS-level food adventurer, Ms. Zheng Ling. She has traveled the globe, tasting all sorts of delicacies, from exotic insects in the rainforest to deep-sea caviar beneath the glaciers. Every time she gathers ingredients, it's a thrilling adventure."
"There's also Mr. Zhao Ruixiang, Vice President of the China Region of the Gourmet Food Association. He's been involved in the food industry for many years and has a deep understanding of Chinese food culture."
"Let's welcome them!"
The lights focused on the stage entrance, and two specially invited judges slowly walked into the venue.
Zheng Ling waved coolly to the contestants.
Zhao Ruixiang smiled and looked at the contestants with a casual look.
After the two specially invited judges took their seats, Fu Shilang announced, "The MasterChef finals are now beginning. You will have one hour to prepare your appetizers. Since there are five judges, you will need to prepare five dishes. Please return to your cooking stations."
"Time starts now!"
The three players immediately began to move in an orderly manner.
The five judges were observing and chatting from above.
Fu Shilang said to Zhao Ruixiang, "I wonder if Mr. Zhao has noticed that there is something special about one of the contestants."
Zhao Ruixiang looked at the contestants below and quickly guessed, "Can't that girl with short hair see?"
Fu Shilang nodded, "Yes, Mengya has a visual impairment, but that doesn't stop her from cooking."
Zhao Ruixiang exclaimed, "It's really amazing. Although we often say that you need to be proficient enough to make a dish without even looking at it, it's difficult to achieve this. I'm looking forward to what kind of dishes she will bring."
Zheng Ling was also chatting with Wen Qi.
Zheng Ling asked, "That girl with long black hair is Mingyue, right? I wonder if she'd be interested in being my assistant. I'm going to be filming a documentary about food collection."
As soon as Zheng Ling finished speaking, Yuwen Yi teased, "Then you'll probably have to wait in line. This kid is a dark horse, and many people have already been eyeing her. Even Chef Fu has prepared a letter of recommendation for her to attend a culinary academy for a year, and then go abroad for an exchange program for a year."
Wen Qi is a thoughtful person. In her past interactions with Mingyue, she gradually noticed some characteristics of her personality.
So, when Zheng Ling mentioned whether to invite Mingyue, Wen Qi said bluntly, "In my opinion, Mingyue is a very independent-minded child. Whether she is willing to participate in something depends entirely on her own decision. So, Zheng Ling, if you really want to invite her, you might as well ask her opinion directly."
After hearing this, Zheng Ling did not respond immediately, but looked at Mingyue thoughtfully.
"Let's wait until the game is over."
Although she had heard of Mingyue's outstanding performance, in her heart, only the true champion was qualified to receive the olive branch of cooperation she extended.
Therefore, Zheng Ling decided to observe the progress of the competition first and make a decision after the finals.
