"No, you misunderstood."
Gigi shook her head, walked to the nearest cooking station, and pointed at the ingredients being processed there:
“The ingredients used in the Permanent Kitchen are not the actual eight legendary ingredients, but the fragments of these ingredients that Tang Slime has collected over billions of years.
Afterwards, the food regenerator, King Yanma, regenerates and replicates these fragments.
Although these regenerated ingredients are almost the same as real ingredients in taste and function, they lack those magical special abilities.”
Keke thought thoughtfully: "Just like the difference between [PAIR] and [PAIR] in Shibao?"
"That's right."
Jiji stroked his beard and said, "Besides, the cooking here started long before Tang Slime met Yilong. Originally, it was prepared for his own revival."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Suddenly, Ling screamed, "Oh my God! Look over there!"
Following her trembling fingers, everyone saw a horrifying scene—
In front of a giant iron pot with a diameter of more than ten meters, hundreds of ragged poor people were chained and lined up in a long queue under the guidance of guards.
The people in the front row have been pushed into the blazing black soul flames at the bottom of the pot!
"stop!"
Alu and Zebula shouted at the same time and rushed forward like lightning.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With two muffled thuds, the two guards were blown away.
Alu broke the chains with his bare hands to rescue the poor people, while Zebra used sonic waves to repel the remaining guards.
"Jiji!" Sunny glared at the Golden Kitchen Immortal, "What the hell is going on?!"
Facing the public's anger, Gigi remained remarkably calm: "This is preparing fuel for cooking [GOD]."
"Fuel?!" Ling's voice suddenly rose. "You mean... using people as fuel?!"
A memory flashed through Xiaosong's mind.
In the food pyramid, he found a strange cookbook that recorded dishes cooked using humans as fertilizer!
"etc!"
Xiaosong looked at Jiji suddenly. "That recipe book written by the three chefs, Gold, Silver, and Bronze...it records how Blue Netero cooks Acacia's Western-style meals, right?"
Gigi nodded calmly: "That's right. The method used in the permanent kitchen originated from this."
A Lu's fists clenched and crackled. "So you choose to sacrifice these poor people? Just because they are 'useless' to this country?"
"GOD is a powerful ingredient that absorbs the chef's life force," Gigi explained. "In order to avoid sacrificing the chef's life, a trade-off must be made."
He pointed at the dancing soul flames in the furnace. "We've tried using various creatures as fuel, but the efficiency was too low. Ultimately, we discovered... that humans, naturally endowed with intelligence, are the most compatible with God."
"This is nonsense!" Starkin shouted angrily, "This evil cooking method is a blasphemy against the word 'gourmet'!"
Ling suppressed her nausea and asked in a trembling voice, "Is there no other way to cook [GOD]?"
Jiji was silent for a moment, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes: "In the past, there was indeed a chef who cooked [GOD] perfectly with almost no sacrifice."
"Who is it?"
Everyone asked in unison.
Jiji: "The first god of cooking - Foluoze."
