Li Shangui's words immediately made most of the contestants on site tense.
Even the audience lowered their voices and listened intently.
Seeing the cooperative atmosphere, Li Shangui cleared his throat and continued:
"As you all saw, our contestants have all prepared their own dishes tonight, but unfortunately, we old folks just can't eat that much. So we've decided that tomorrow's competition will eliminate 100 people out of the 113 who advanced tonight."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
"Oh my god, did I hear that right? So many people are going to be eliminated."
"Yeah, that means that of the 113 people here, only 13 will remain after tomorrow. Just thinking about that elimination rate is terrifying."
"There are indeed quite a lot of participants this year, which may be something the organizers need to consider."
"There are just too many, it's impossible to keep up. I think the judges are already stuffed from eating. Besides, many of the contestants are clearly inferior to the leading ones, so there's not much point in having a few more matches."
"I'm just a spectator, I'm just here to watch the show. The more nervous they are, the more excited I get."
"No matter what, those who are selected in the end are the elite of the elite, which does not affect our viewing experience. I don't care."
"It looks like tomorrow's competition will be fierce. I guess everyone will be full of energy and give it their best."
"Indeed, if you put it that way, we really enjoyed watching it."
"I think the organizer made a good change. Otherwise, with so many people, how would we be able to see everything? We only want to see the best performers. The rest of the ordinary people are really boring."
.............
The audience was generally happy and supportive, but most of the contestants were quite flustered at this point.
"Damn it, I was hoping to get through a few more rounds, but now it looks like tomorrow is going to be tough."
"13 out of 113 people will be eliminated. This elimination rate means that nine out of ten people will not be able to advance. It's terrifying."
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to use my secret weapon tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow's competition topic will be one I'm good at."
"I really didn't expect the authorities to pull this stunt. I consider myself to be quite skilled, and I was quite relaxed at first, but now I'm suddenly tense."
That means only 13 people will advance tomorrow.
The key point is that tomorrow is only the second day of the competition.
According to the schedule, the entire competition will last for seven days.
So upon hearing this, the contestants who had just been basking in the glory of passing the first round of the night could no longer smile.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
However, as the organizer, the rules can indeed be changed depending on the circumstances.
This was mentioned in a previous notice.
After tonight's competition, the organizers found that there were too many participants this year, and the skill levels were extremely polarized.
In other words, it means extremely powerful.
It's a terrible mess.
So to avoid trouble, we might as well just cut it off completely.
After discussion, it was decided that 100 people would be eliminated in tomorrow's competition.
The remaining 13 people will be the elite of the elite.
The 13 selected individuals will then compete against each other to determine the most outstanding contestants.
Otherwise, there are too many people to manage, and many of them have limited skill levels, so giving them more matches would be meaningless.
Regarding such changes.
While most people panicked, a few remained relatively calm, or even indifferent.
Especially Lu Rong.
First of all, he participated in this food competition with the attitude of having fun, and whether he won or not was not very important to him.
Of course, winning an award would be even better.
Furthermore, today was just a small test of his skills, and the system's points are currently more than enough for him to redeem the most amazing Manchu Han Imperial Feast recipe.
Without a doubt, the Manchu Han Imperial Feast recipe with 500,000 points is far superior to the top-tier recipe.
After tonight's match, he also got a clear picture of his opponents' strength.
Even if he only uses top-tier recipes, getting into the top five shouldn't be a problem at all.
Moreover, he still has a secret weapon he hasn't used yet, namely the recipe for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Lu Rong believed that once the recipe for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast was released, it would be virtually unrivaled.
Unless some of these people tonight are hiding their true strength or haven't shown their full power.
Thinking about it that way.
Even if there are only 13 spots available tomorrow.
So what?
With his current abilities, he could easily master a top-tier recipe.
So there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
Su Tingyun and Zhang Weiguo trusted Lu Rong completely. After this period of adjustment and cooperation, they remained calm even after hearing what Li Shangui had just said.
Because they knew Lu Rong would definitely advance, they didn't need to worry about him at all.
Meanwhile, the other top-ranked players remained quite calm.
Shen Tao slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "This change is great! There will be fewer people this way, and we won't have to compete with such a huge crowd."
Shen Lanxin: "Brother, don't be too happy yet. What if you get eliminated tomorrow?"
Shen Tao's face darkened, and he retorted, "Little sister, can't you stand to see your brother doing well?"
