The players in the audience erupted in cheers, while the indigenous people smiled knowingly, their eyes darting over the contestants as if they were appraising merchandise waiting to be sold.
Qi Xu had no time to care about anything else; he was just staring intently at the young master chef, trying to find a familiar trace in his slightly lowered eyes. But even after the contestants had taken their places in front of the stoves, the young master chef didn't look at him again...
Qi Xu pondered that there were only two possibilities: the young master of Chinese cooking hadn't looked over, or even recognized him.
First, he sold his memories as stories to the "Story Pawnshop." Second, it was inconvenient to speak at this time, as someone was watching him and even controlling him, so he simply pretended not to know them.
Qi Xu stared at the little master's curled-up fingertips and roughly guessed that it was most likely the second possibility.
Because Little Chef has a fairly evenly plump figure, he has a lot of fat all over his body, so he rarely clenches his fists and his palms are always in an open state.
So that means he... is very nervous.
In any other setting, nervousness wouldn't mean anything, but this is the "MasterChef Competition," the domain that MasterChef is most skilled in. He won't be nervous at all; in fact, he'll be excited.
Then it's easy to understand why they were nervous.
Another major reason is that the protagonist of "Cooking Master Boy" is the most polite and courteous person. Even if a stranger waves at him, he will respond with a serious smile and will not pretend not to see him or ignore him.
Qi Xu moved slowly, going up and down and back and forth throughout the entire area, carefully observing every corner, but he did not find anyone watching MasterChef.
So that means the person he cares about isn't there?
Qi Xu wasn't sure what it was exactly, but while he was thinking, the first round of the competition had already begun.
If players want to participate in betting to win the final grand prize, they can submit their preferred player numbers to the ballot box below the stage.
Qi Dan glanced at the number and saw that "Cooking Master Boy" was number 8, so he finished writing and submitted it immediately.
There's no reason not to take free money, even though Qi Xu still doesn't understand what's worth buying in Hungry Town.
All the food available for purchase was problematic, and Qi Xu didn't want to touch anything from the "Treasure Pavilion." As for clothing and accessories... they were all cartoonish.
Hunger Coins can't be used outside of dungeons, so they don't seem to be very useful, but having them is better than having none. At worst, you can use them to bribe people.
The competition rules are actually quite simple. All participants need to prepare three dishes using common ingredients within one hour. Then, the host will randomly select 30 players to taste the dishes and vote. The player with the most votes wins.
The town's residents do not participate in the voting, since they have lost their sense of taste and cannot judge the quality of food.
The purpose of holding this "Master Chef Selection Competition" is also a vision for the future, hoping that all the residents of Hungry Town can one day regain their sense of taste and enjoy delicious food again.
Having spent two years together, Qi Xu was very familiar with the cooking steps in "MasterChef Ninja," but today he even changed his cooking habits. The way he held the knife and the position of the blade were all noticeably different.
It even made Qi Xu doubt whether this was really the story of "MasterChef".
An hour passed quickly. When the host asked, "Which of our dear outsider players would like to come up on stage as judges?" Qi Xu immediately stood at the very front and raised his hand high.
He glanced back at the players in the instance and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Invincible Black Whirlwind. I need your help with something later."
Seven days ago, Qi Xu fought tooth and nail in the Treasure Pavilion to defeat the player who won using the Victory Perfume, a scene witnessed by many.
