Lu Rong hadn't expected Ma Jiang to be so confident.
I thought he could only manage to snatch more ingredients, but now he says he can have whatever he wants.
Lu Rong looked closely at his eyes and realized that Ma Jiang was speaking very seriously and didn't seem to be talking nonsense.
He turned his head and quickly glanced at the ingredients in the center of the venue; they were all very ordinary and unremarkable.
So this time he had to make a simple dish that tasted extraordinary.
"Lu Rong, take a look. Whatever ingredients you want, I'll give them to you," Ma Jiang said confidently, patting his chest.
Lu Rong carefully observed the ingredients not far away.
Considering that this is only the first day of the competition, although more than half of the contestants will be eliminated, Lu Rong believes that as long as he can successfully make a top-notch dish, he will definitely not be eliminated.
Although I could easily redeem the recipe for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast with 500,000 points right now, it's not the right time yet.
Just like in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), have you ever seen anyone play a royal flush right from the start?
Moreover, it's estimated that most contestants won't get the ingredients they want, so in terms of taste, they certainly won't be able to beat him.
So he immediately had a dish in mind that he wanted to make.
He told Ma Jiang all the ingredients that would be needed later.
Ma Jiang listened attentively and did a small "OK" sign to indicate that he had no problem at all.
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Wu Zhengchuan on the stage immediately spoke.
"Each participating team, please send one person to the entrance in the center of the venue. Our first round, the food-grabbing battle, is about to begin."
Upon hearing Wu Zhengchuan's words, each participating team sent their pre-selected members onto the stage.
It's clear that almost every team selected players who are both tall and strong.
Just by looking at their physiques, you can tell how fierce the upcoming battle will be.
Faced with such a competitor, Ma Jiang did not feel flustered at all, and walked up with his head held high.
The audience was incredibly excited as the competition for ingredients was about to begin.
"I knew it! Every team would send their strongest members to snatch the ingredients. After all, this is a brutal battle for resources, and no one will show you any mercy."
"This is too exciting! It's supposed to be a food competition, but it's turned into a battle to snatch things away."
"Look, isn't that Tang Haohan, the champion from last year? He's over 1.8 meters tall, very tall and strong, and he's also setting off."
"Tang Haohan is definitely no problem. With his physique, I doubt many people could beat him."
"Looking at it this way, Tang Haohan really has the advantage of timing, location, and people. Not only is his cooking skill first-class, but his physique is also outstanding."
"The other teams are not bad either. I see that they are all tall people, over 1.7 or 1.8 meters. No matter how good Tang Haohan is, he can't compete with so many people."
Everyone was engaged in a heated discussion when a chubby figure instantly caught the attention of all the audience members.
That's right, it's Ma Jiang.
Ma Jiang was not tall to begin with, only about 1.65 meters, and he was also overweight.
It stood out so prominently among the crowd of people who were preparing to grab the ingredients.
Not only is he quite old, but he is also obese, and he walks slowly, not as fast as others.
Seeing this, the audience was completely confused and even burst into laughter.
"I'm dying of laughter! Look at that guy, he's so old, how could he possibly compete with those young people?"
"Where? Where? Oh... there, I saw it, it's hilarious, I really didn't expect which team did this."
"I don't know. Is there no one else? Why send such an old, weak, and disabled soldier to steal ingredients? Isn't that just admitting defeat?"
"If he manages to grab even one ingredient, I'll admit defeat."
"Let me put it this way: if his team isn't eliminated in today's match, I'll run outside naked without hesitation."
"Don't even think about it. With his looks, it's questionable whether he can even get the ingredients. How can you cook without ingredients? It's no wonder he's eliminated."
"I really can't figure out which team's idiot would let such a guy steal ingredients. It's just too funny."
"I just saw that fat guy; he seems to belong to Lu Rong's team."
"What?! Lu Rong's team? I didn't hear wrong, did I? I think their team is full of talented people. Lu Rong and that fat guy next to him are both capable. Why send such an old guy?"
"Now that you mention it, I don't understand either. Lu Rong is a young man in his early twenties, 1.8 meters tall. Logically, he should have gone to grab the ingredients himself, or had that chubby young man next to him do it. But instead, he called this person. If he had no other choice, I could understand, but now that he has a choice, I just don't understand."
"It seems we all overestimated this guy named Lu Rong. He's probably a narcissist who thinks he can make something delicious no matter what ingredients he has."
"Hehe, he just doesn't see the situation clearly. In the current situation, what can you make without ingredients? Even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice. No matter how good you are, you still need something to cook."
"I don't understand. I thought he would be a dark horse in this competition, but now it seems he's just all talk. Let's focus on the other contestants."
"I reckon that fat guy will be pushed to the ground in less than five seconds and won't be able to get up. Do you believe me?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking and just focus on the game, it's about to start."
On the field at this moment.
Everyone was ready to go, while Wu Zhengchuan on the other side was counting down.
"Everyone, get ready."
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
"Four, three, two, one, begin!"
