The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 202: Gambling in a box, a pseudo-Lin rank!

Chapter 202: Gambling in a box, a pseudo-Lin rank! (4K)

You definitely cannot buy level 92 [Sweet Cola] through ordinary channels. Not only is it not available on the market, it cannot even be found in the food malls of major associations and organizations.

Therefore, one can only find a dragon chef or a high-ranking being like the Cat God Spot and try to barter with him.

[Dark Gold (Legendary) Treasure Box]

Xia An moved his fingers across the void in front of him, and a treasure chest surrounded by a dark golden halo emerged from the ripples.

“Ingredients!”

“It’s still food!!”

After muttering twice in his heart, Xia An lowered his eyes and gently opened the treasure chest.

[Congratulations, you have obtained a level 95 fantasy ingredient (dark gold/legendary), a complete ‘Meteorite Garlic’]

[Fantasy ingredients have been automatically stored in the exclusive ingredient warehouse of the Food Hunter mode]

Did you really draw the ingredients?
Moreover, it is actually one of the level 92 [Poisonous Potato] and level 95 [Meteorite Garlic] in Tang Meijun’s notes?
This may be the fate!
Xia An pursed his lips and called out the warehouse in Gourmet Hunter mode.

An enormous, strange-looking garlic appeared in an unknownly vast space.

You should know that the Blue Star world’s exploration of the food world has almost stopped at the first continent. The level 90 [Jurassic Unicorn Deer] is already the highest-level ingredient captured on this continent.

Therefore, the Blue Star hunters and cooks who have searched for, seen, and handled this level 95 [Meteorite Garlic], apart from the expedition team that went to the Dark Continent, naturally include Senior Tang Meijun.

The second group from ancient times to the present is the present Xia An.

“The illustrated information on the panel is much clearer and more detailed than Tang Meijun’s notes.”

Xia An’s eyes were fixed on the huge garlic stored in the space.

The food illustration interface is suspended:

【Meteorite Garlic】

【Vegetables】

[Capture Level: 95]

[4m long, 6m high, 2 tons in weight]

[The magical garlic that only grows in places where meteorites fall, also known as the ‘forbidden drug garlic’, is said to give one a month’s worth of energy to stay awake if one eats it, but because the energy from the food is too strong, it is restricted by the old ‘Eight Methods of Gourmet Food’]

[Note: the outer skin of this object is very strong, as hard as a meteorite, and cannot be broken by brute force]

[But there is also an old recipe that does not require breaking or peeling to cook dishes – “Teppanyaki Meteorite Garlic”]

[Recommended cooking occasions: private, forbidden dishes, forbidden recipes]

【price:??】

The dark gold text that occupies the field of vision seems to tell the profoundness of this food atlas.

Xia An took a deep breath and muttered to himself after a while: “Banned garlic? The recommended occasions are not competitions or food battles, and it’s private, and it’s a banned dish. It seems that ingredients and dishes of this level are no longer in the realm of ordinary people.”

anyway.

The pinnacle of pseudo-scale is level 50 ingredients.

The first level of Zhenlin is 60, the Grandmaster Zhenlin is 70, and the King Zhenlin is 80…

Then, from level 80 onwards, it is naturally the pseudo-dragon realm.

It should be in the level 80 to 90 range, but it is also possible that it is between level 80 and level .

The Lin class has three levels, so the dragon chef’s small level system will be more and more complicated. To climb to the end and the top of the dragon field, sweat and hard work are far from enough, and amazing culinary practice and accumulation are also required…

“By the way, what’s the situation with the recipe for Teppanyaki Meteorite Garlic that comes with the illustrated material?”

Xia An came back to his senses and studied the recipe in the appendix with interest, his expression gradually becoming a little ugly.

“unlucky!”

“You want me to roast a whole head of garlic?”

That’s right.

There is no need to remove the shell or peel it. After the whole garlic is roasted at high temperature, it will burst from the inside out and then explode like a fireworks show.

In the explosion, golden and crispy garlic cloves fall like colorful petals.

At the same time, a rich and moist golden liquid like cheese will flow out from the innermost part of the wreckage, with a delicious impact like a meteorite hitting the earth…

But Xia An’s description of the recipe did not move him at all, and he commented expressionlessly:
“Luxury! Waste!”

If the dragon chefs knew that he used level 95 ingredients to set off a huge and gorgeous fireworks display, they would point their fingers at him and scold him.

[Meteorite Garlic] It is no exaggeration to say that ingredients of this level are full of treasures.

Even garlic skins can be used as chips and bait to lure black carp in some laboratories and research institutions.

“Take your time and break it down bit by bit.”

“Not even a shred of garlic skin should be wasted.”

Xia An took a deep breath, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.

I have to praise the chef’s panel, it is just so bold and unsparing.

The ingredients you draw are all in complete form, one, one strip or one grain.

Tsk tsk.

The entire [Meteorite Garlic] has a net weight of 2 tons, so as long as Xia An can find a powerful dragon chef or a reliable organization to exchange it for level 92 [Sweet Cola], he can generously exchange their entire inventory.

all in all.

This legendary gambling treasure chest is a huge profit!

“Then what happens next-“

Xia An cast his eyes towards the target column on the panel.

In fact, when Shion Miko told him about the [Feast], the new goal had already been triggered.

……

[The new business goal of the “Loss-Making Kitchen God” mode has been triggered. 】

[Goal ①: At your personal banquet, cook a ‘pseudo-Lin-level answer dish’ and take more than 500 servings (double the ingredients returned)]

[Goal ②: At your personal banquet, cook a ‘pseudo-Lin-level answer dish’ and take more than one thousand servings (10 times the ingredients will be returned)]

[Goal ③: Your ‘Pseudo-Lin-level Answer Dish’ will be praised by all the monsters in the Monster Land (Cat God, Three Monster Kings, Seven Great Monsters, and All Small Monsters). The reward list specifications can be upgraded, depending on the host’s performance…]

……

“It’s very similar to the goal of the Cat Island Festival!” Xia An thought.

The goal of the Cat Island Festival is to let him sell the perfect palace version of cat rice, perfect = answer dishes.

Similarly, for Pseudo-Lin-level answer dishes, the first thing is that the ingredient specifications cannot be lower than the diamond level (40-50) of the corresponding Pseudo-Lin field.

Furthermore, the ingredients must be pure and perfect, with a processing degree of over 99%.

And it’s not just a single ingredient, if the recipe has multiple fantasy ingredients, then all of them must be above 99%.

correct.

After making and selling cat meals, his [Life Menu] has also been updated.

【Xia An’s Life Menu】

【Appetizer: None】

【Soup: None】

【Fish: None】

[Meat: “Grilled Crocodile Meat” (Level 10 Kaira Giant Crocodile Meat)]

[Main dish: “White Snow Catfish Noodles” (level 30 white snow catfish), “Palace Edition Cat Rice” (level 39 flying squid, level 50 blissful rice, level 55 alien dragon beast)] [Salad: None]

【Dessert: None】

[Drink: “Gin Tide of Dionysus Whale” (Level 33 Dionysus Whale)]

Obviously, the recipe for determining the answer level has been recorded on the menu of life.

But there are also hierarchical divisions between answer levels.

“Grilled Alligator” is a mediocre special answer.

And “White Snow Catfish Noodles” is a top-notch masterpiece.

“The Gin Tide of the Dionysian Whale” is similar, but this recipe is a secret recipe passed down by the Regeneration Master. The best objects to be entertained and fed are rare and exotic animals that can sign a symbiotic contract.

Next.

Naturally, it is the “Palace Version of Cat Fan” which is between the fake Lin and the real Lin.

If you find a seafood ingredient above level 50 and replace the flying squid, then all the ingredients in this recipe will reach the True Scale Line or above, and will be steadily promoted to the True Scale Answer Level.

“If you want to take a shortcut, you can make the palace version of cat food at tomorrow’s ‘Feast’.”

I thought so in my heart, but in Xia An’s eyes, “Palace Version of Cat Fan” was not absolutely perfect.

Why?

It doesn’t glow!
During the three days of the Cat God Festival, we set up stalls and sold more than 10,000 dishes. I don’t know how many pots of cat food we had, but not a single plate of cat food glowed. From a probabilistic point of view, the probability of glowing is estimated to be close to zero.

The problem? Xia An knew it very well. The [Ganlang Pot] was a replica after all, and its magic was flawed. He relied on the incomplete legendary kitchen utensils to cheat and take an unconventional approach, which was equivalent to cutting off his own path to glory.

And on his life menu, except for the “Palace Edition Cat Rice”, all other recipes can shine normally.

This is because every pure and perfect ingredient in these recipes is processed by Xia An himself.

“Until I am able to personally process the perfect level 50 True Scale Ingredients, I will put the recipe for the Imperial Cat Rice on hold. I cannot further optimize it.”

Therefore, Xia An chose to serve the recipe of “Crispy Ruby Crab Feet” at tomorrow’s feast.

This is one of the “Ruby Crab Trio” by senior Tang Meijun.

[Ruby Crab] The capture level is 46, which also meets the specifications of diamond and pseudo-scale ingredients.

You know, the second time he cooked this dish at Higashino Tsuyoshi’s mansion, the completion rate increased from 73% to 83%, an increase of 10%.

Besides, times are different now.

Compared with the time when he was in the mansion, Xia An is now a dual-route pseudo-Lin, with the support of Sequence 4 universal cells in his body. He can use a variety of high-proficiency food skills added by krypton gold, and the effect will only be more explosive and amazing.

After all, in the past Xia An relied on the energy of Qi to forcefully activate a series of food skills, which was at best a false usage and a duplication of terms.

But it’s different now!

Sequence 4 corresponds to the cellular power of Pseudo-Lin, allowing Xia An to use any food skills without thinking!

“I have Tang Meijun’s notes and experience, and now I have Sequence 4 Cell Power. I’ve spent so much money on food skills. If I still can’t get the first pseudo-Lin-level answer recipe in my career, I might as well just bump my head against tofu and die.”

Xia An is so high-spirited and confident.

He swept the Cat Island Festival and ended the suspense of the crown ahead of schedule on the final day, which made his state of mind catch up with the Pseudo-Lin cooking skills.

Tomorrow, of course, is the feast.

To be safer, Xia An didn’t mind taking out the three ruby ​​crabs stored in the [Spiritual Storage], taking out their crab legs and crab roe, and practicing all night long.

Be sure to improve the completion of the dishes as much as possible before the feast, preferably to 99% to be as close to perfection as possible.

……

at the same time.

Xia An was practicing hard in the demon village.

Blue Star, on the pier at Cat Island.

A ray of setting sun hangs in the sky, and the orange-red sunset turns the sea surface into a brilliant sea.

On the last ferry leaving the island.

Lu Lao led the Shenzhou team and looked at the gradually shrinking Cat Island: “I don’t know which continent or region in the food world that ‘coordinate point’ connects to.”

Meng Yulu hummed, and the orange sunset illuminated her eyes:

“If it connects to an unknown area that Blue Star hunters and cooks have never set foot on, then the value of this coordinate point will be infinite.”

At this time, the two pseudo-Lin chefs of the team, Jiao Guoan and Yu Qiuling, suddenly cried out in a low voice.

“Mr. Lu, Mr. Meng is the chef.”

“Boss Xia’s personal information has been updated!”

Huh?
Meng Yulu quickly opened the igo app and expanded Xia An’s business card and information in the friend column.

【Xia An (from Shenzhou)】

[Cooking Rank: Special Grade (Newcomer) → Pseudo-Lin]

[At the ‘Cat Island Festival’ on Neon Cat Island, he cooked and sold a large number of perfect cat meals in public, showing his superb cooking skills. After the committee held a special meeting to study, they unanimously approved the certification of the promotion of the Pseudo-Lin. 】

[Titles/honors: Champion of the third round of the Kikuxialou Contest, final winner of the Higashino Tsuyoshi Manor International Arena, winner of the third Cat Island Festival]

[Evaluation: With the end of the Cat Island Festival, the reputation of this “recreator of ancient dishes” and “inheritor of ancient skills” has begun to spread all over the world. A giant in the food industry is rising just like those amazing predecessors in China. ]

“The cooking skill level jumped directly to Pseudo-Lin?” Not far away, everyone from the Sun family was also leaving the island by boat. Sun Ying slammed the railing with both hands, her expression bursting into an emoticon, “Fuck… this jump is too big! Directly from the newly promoted special grade to Pseudo-Lin!”

“Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. We’ve been helping out for the past three days, so didn’t we already know that Boss Xia’s cooking skills are shocking?” Sun Xiang seemed to be trying to comfort him, but she couldn’t suppress the horror in her eyes.

Sun Zheng sighed: “In fact, from the moment I ate the perfect cat meal, I felt that Boss Xia was standing behind me and would soon catch up with me.”

Sun Kang studied the igo personal business card and exclaimed:

“Two international titles, plus the newly updated super high evaluation comments, why do I feel like I vaguely saw that person!”

Sun Ying: “Are you talking about Senior Tang Meijun? The most rapidly promoted talented chef in the Chinese food world since the turn of the century?”

“What else?” Sun Kang’s mouth twitched, “If Boss Xia can break the false and become true within a year and be promoted to True Lin, then his progress speed will even exceed that of Senior Tang Meijun!”

Sun Xiang couldn’t hold it in any longer: “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“Just promoted to a pseudo-King, and within a year, he broke through the pseudo-King and became a true King?”

at the same time–

As the famous person who won the crown of this year’s Cat Island Festival, Xia An’s personal business card and information were hotly discussed by many groups, organizations and forces.

The neo food ideal village team is packing their luggage in the hotel on the outlying island.

Sun Yun looked at Flynn and Yara who were discussing while cleaning up.

After a while, the two men started arguing.

“Humph, it’s not that easy to make further progress after becoming a pseudo-Lin.” A middle-aged male pseudo-Lin named Flynn, who was of Mexican descent, said, “I have been stuck at this level for a full ten years!”

Yara is an Indian female chef. Although she is also middle-aged, she is obviously younger than Flynn. Upon hearing this, she sneered:
“That’s you. You’ve spent ten years and haven’t created a few recipes at the Pseudo-Lin Answer level. I think your life will be like this. Your journey to become a culinary master ends here.”

Sun Yun let the two quarrel, and she was also secretly wondering how many years Xia An would remain silent in Wei Lin.

“The road to breaking the falsehood is very difficult. Moreover, Boss Xia must have relied on the magic of the Greedy Wolf Pot to cook cat food of that level.”

On the highway leading to Sapporo Airport, in a Totsuki luxury bus.

Compared to Dojima Gin and Saiba Joichiro, who had stiff faces, awkward and complicated expressions, and were silent.

Riko Ebisawa, who was still working towards the top of the special class, had no worries. She looked at Nakiri Senzaemon curiously and asked:
“General, can you please give me a prediction? Do you think it will take Boss Xia a few years to settle down and accumulate, and then break the fake and become the real one?”

Nakiri Senzaemon frowned, and after a moment he said calmly: “We cannot use common sense to speculate on such a brilliant future giant. In my opinion, this is another Tang Meijun. His rise may even be faster than Tang Meijun thirty years ago. I can only say that this is worthy of being the food world of Shenzhou. It seems that the ancient heritage has been cut off, but since modern times, there are still monsters that break people’s cognition every one or two generations…”
