"Who is the opponent? Why did he choose such a place?"

Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing were walking in the dark woods...

It was just a literal meaning. The two were walking in the dark Black Gold Forest.

Most of the trees here have dark trunks and leaves, and the branches are dense and block the sunlight. The ground is muddy. Although it is a forest environment, it is damp and cold, just like a swamp, and it smells of decay and decay everywhere.

When Guan Liyuan heard about the location of Black Gold Lake before, he felt strange... The surrounding environment is dark, and Black Gold Lake is a muddy lake in the center of Black Gold Forest. Why choose such a place?

"I don't know, it's mysterious. Chef Jie Nai only said that it was a chef in the top 30... Maybe it was the poison cooking master Tai Lan?" Liu Maoxing speculated.

There are indeed many poisonous ingredients in the Black Gold Forest.

"Not necessarily? Chef Jie Nai said at the time that it should be 'no less than' the top 30 in the world, that is to say... It may also be someone outside the rankings, but Chef Jie Nai recognizes the other party's strength." Guan Liyuan said.

"Anyway, he must be a weirdo! He probably cooks poisonous food, smelly food, or something like that..." Liu Maoxing said.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from above their heads: "Young man, don't underestimate nature. Even in this environment, there are not only poisonous food and smelly food ingredients."

A man with a head that looks like Coach Anxi, but a bald head, and a body that is even more exaggerated than Coach Anxi, just an oval ball that is a circle larger than his head, short and stout, but white and fat, with round glasses and a bowl-shaped hairpin on his head, stood on a treetop.

Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing were not surprised. They had already felt his approach, but at first, judging from the moving path, the two sides should have just met by chance. At this time, he should have come closer because he heard the two talking. The

Black Gold Forest is also a dangerous area where beasts of level 20 or 30 often appear, and even creatures of level 60 or more live there. It is not a place where ordinary fat old men would come...

And the other party is wearing a red shirt with Xiangbei written on it... No! It was written with the words "Shiyi", which made Guan Liyuan guess his identity!

"Is it Master Zhen Zhenzhen of Shilin Temple?" Guan Liyuan took the initiative to ask.

"Huh?"

The other party jumped down from the treetop with a "light body". Although the ground was full of mud, there was no splash, leaving only two shallow footprints.

But Guan Liyuan's expression moved slightly, as if he noticed something...

With Guan Liyuan's keen perception, he had discovered that the other party used a very clever means of unloading when jumping down, but even so, he still left footprints... A simple estimate shows that this old man looks small, but his current weight is probably in tons!

"Oh! You are the administrator and the green-haired star, right?" Zhen Zhenzhen suddenly realized. "Yes

, I am the administrator..."

"Huh? Old man, don't think that I respect the elderly and love the young, so I won't deduct your lunch box!"

They were both called the wrong name, look at this reaction? This is the difference in temperament! In his heart, Guan Liyuan photoshopped a thousand-foot light as a background for himself.

"Don't be like that. It's normal for me, an old man, to remember things wrongly... Don't you think so, Niu Maoxing?" Zhen Zhenzhen said nonchalantly. "

It's Liu, Mao, Xing! By the way... you actually know our names, and... you're from Shikurinji? Could it be that the opponent that Chef Jieno helped me to book is you?" Liu Maoxing looked at Zhen Zhenzhen with scrutiny. Liu Maoxing

also remembered that Jieno had mentioned Shikurinji to them before, so he instinctively thought that it might be Jieno who introduced the master of Shikurinji to him as the opponent of the food battle.

"No, I was notified by others to come here. They want me to have a cooking duel... what's it called? Yes, food battle... to be a judge of the 'food battle'. In short, it's about eating, and this old man is more good at it, so I came." Zhen Zhenzhen said.

"Others? Who is it?" Guan Liyuan asked. "

Huh? Liyuan, don't you know who your opponent is? She introduced you to me..." Zhen Zhenzhen asked in confusion.

Guan Liyuan: ...

"Come to think of it, Qianqian hasn't looked for me for a long time, hahaha." Zhen Zhenzhen's tone was full of reminiscence.

"Qianqian? Could it be... Chef Chiyo, the super-fine cook who is known as 'one knife worth 100 million'? She has retired for a long time, right?" Guan Liyuan immediately asked.

"Huh? Carp, I didn't expect that young people of your generation would know Qianqian?" Zhen Zhenzhen confirmed Guan Liyuan's guess with some surprise.

Guan Liyuan: ...

You are the carp! Your memory is the carp! Do you want to refresh our names every few seconds?

However, Guan Liyuan didn't want to complain, but his face became more solemn. In the original work, Zhen Zhenzhen's former partner and his wife... Chef Chiyo, defected to the Gourmet Club and even led people to attack Shilin Temple, almost killing the grandmaster of Shilin Temple, Zhen Zhenzhen!

The reason is that their son died young, which made Chiyo depressed for a while and she was unwilling to see Zhen Zhenzhen. Before that, the Food Club revealed to Chiyo that a dish in the Acacia menu could bring the dead back to life...

As the Grand Master of the Food Forest Temple, Zhen Zhenzhen, like Jie Na, is listed as one of the four national treasures of food, so he naturally knows about the Acacia menu, but he never mentioned this matter, which made Chiyo turn his love for him into hatred.

Jie Na and Chiyo have some friendship, and it is somewhat unexpected that he would introduce Chiyo as Liu Maoxing's opponent, but it is also reasonable.

Moreover... the evaluation of "not weaker than the top 30 in the world" is too modest!

Although Chiyo has never participated in the Food Festival, so she is not included in the ranking, but in the eyes of the world, she is a legendary cook at the same level as Jie Na!

"Let's go, I know Black Gold Lake... I just don't know when the restaurant was built? Hahaha... I haven't eaten Qianqian's food for a long time, and this time it's still thanks to you! Hahaha..." Zhen Zhenzhen walked in front with a smile.

Guan Liyuan opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He was originally hesitant to remind Zhen Zhenzhen to be careful, but then he thought... If Zhen Zhenzhen didn't realize it, he wouldn't use "Shimei" and store so much energy in his body, right?

And from his tone, it seems that he is also ready to make a sudden move!

That's right, Zhen Zhenzhen's body structure is not special, but the density is amazing, which makes his small body weigh several tons.

This is the "Shiyi" secret of Shilin Temple. Only those who are proficient in "Shiyi" can comprehend "Shimei"!

You can store calories by eating a lot at one time, and your weight will increase significantly. If you are not ready for a big battle, Zhen Zhenzhen will not always maintain this "full charge"...
