Zongman: The post-2D era

He had no choice but to ask a few people to follow him to a mountain forest of Yuanyue College. Finally, he found a pond bottom stone in a depression. He ordered the staff to carefully dig out the whole pond bottom stone and send it to Yuetian before walking back.
“That’s your skill about fate. It’s really convenient. But the stone is barely up to standard. Is that okay?”
The black cat touched Feng Feng’s neck with its tail. Feng Feng waved the tail away and said, “That’s good. The world is constantly changing. The stone will also become different.”
“You have a live broadcast between the moon and the sky! How is it going over there? Is it my turn?”
“Of course, you didn’t even notice how long you spent looking for the stone. The fat and thin brothers have already ruined your whole afternoon. The audience has all returned from lunch.”
“Who is my opponent? Is it Tsukasa Eiji? The first of the Ten Greatest of Totsuki.”
The black cat twitched its tail and said, “It’s not Si Yingshi, it’s someone much more powerful than him. Why do you think Si Yingshi will challenge you in a food battle? If he loses in a food battle with you, he will become your slave!”
“Because he was the one who first asked me to stop the food battle. And more than half of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki have body abnormalities. Among them, Kobayashi Ryodan is the most serious.”
The black cat meowed and patted Feng Feng’s neck with its tail, signaling him to continue.
“When the world changes, the first to mutate are plants and animals, not humans. So the Ten Great Masters of the Far Realm got the mutated ingredients through various channels and cooked them! But the result won’t be very good. After all, it is Cthulhu’s extraordinary factor.”
Feng Feng got in the car and drove towards the Moon and Sky. A document was placed on the other side of the seat. His target for this food battle was the head chef of Totsuki: Dojima Gin.
Feng Feng flipped through the documents and threw them on his seat, sighing helplessly: “Sure enough, it’s not that easy to pass. But anything involving the whole world will become extremely troublesome.”
Chapter 67 Dojima Gin
The black cat responded with two meat pad cat punches to Feng Feng but didn’t say anything. Feng Feng took the car and went directly into a passage. After he got off the car, the fat man’s voice came from the venue.
“Our long-awaited protagonist. Our senior brother is finally here! His feelings are understandable. He said that the rules of Shokugeki also apply to graduates. Moreover, the best chef in Totsuki’s history, Gin Dojima, is competing. If it were me, I wouldn’t do it either.”
The thin man continued, “But our eldest brother is different. He decided to protest by appearing as a kitten on his head. But he still came. And he will definitely win.”
Feng Feng raised his head and felt the black cat’s meat ball hitting him, confirming that the little black cat was causing trouble. He walked out of the passage.
In the Moonlight, Nakadashima Gin stood in front of rows of strange animals and plants, holding a microphone and waiting for Fengfeng. When he saw Fengfeng, he immediately bowed and said, “Fengfeng-kun, I am really sorry.”
The black cat above Feng Feng’s head touched Feng Feng’s neck with its tail and whispered, “I thought he was going to confess to you! It made me laugh to death. No, that’s not right. You were dumped after you confessed! Haha, haha~~~”
Dojima Gin stood up and said, “I know how shameless my behavior is. Even if my opponent is a transcendent. But for an elder like me to let down a student is not an appropriate and unforgivable act.”
“But when I learned that the ingredients you used in your second food battle were mutated ingredients that appeared after the meteorite fell, I knew it was time for me to show up. It doesn’t matter if I become your slave, or even if I die soon. This is the price I, no, we chefs, pay for our ignorance and arrogance.”
Feng Feng sighed helplessly and said seriously, “Sequence is something I have just come into contact with. I don’t have the ritual and potion formula of Sequence 8 here. I want these ingredients just to use this platform to tell you something. Something that is common sense to me but unknown to you.”
As he spoke, Feng Feng once again walked to the center spotlight. He picked up a cabbage with several tentacles and said:
“The supernatural factor is not something gentle and friendly. It is a real world poison. Everything in the world contains the supernatural factor. Then it is like a little white mouse in a gas chamber. It will die pitifully and helplessly.”
The octopus and cabbage fusion in my hand is the result of the extraordinary factor in just three days. The cooks who cook every day and find these vegetables will probably be curious about this change. No matter what the reason is, some people have eaten this strange mutant ingredient. “
“I originally thought that my opponent in this shokugeki competition should be either Kobayashi Ryodan or Tsukasa Eiji. Because their bodies should have undergone obvious mutations. It was Tsukasa Eiji who first challenged me to shokugeki. But now that Dojima Gin has stepped forward, the situation may be more serious than I thought. Please introduce the situation! Chef Dojima Gin.”
“Yes,” Dojima Gin responded and took a step forward to take off his shirt. He exposed his muscular upper body and turned his back to the camera and the audience.
On the solid back, something like snake or fish scales extends to the waist on the right side, occupying half of the back area. The bright green scales and the strong muscles form a sharp contrast.
There was an uproar at the scene. Amid the noise, Dojima Gin put on his clothes again and said solemnly, “Three days ago, a meteorite fell, and just one night later, some strange animals and plants appeared. Some of them were sent to research institutions, but some of them flowed into the hands of cooks like us for various reasons.”
“I often say that chefs are taste seekers. They walk alone in an endless wilderness. When faced with mutated ingredients caused by meteorites, as a chef, it is natural to research, try to cook, and taste them.”
“But this time, perhaps we, the self-righteous chefs, are too arrogant and conceited. I have also studied mutated ingredients and eaten dishes made from mutated ingredients. They are delicious and incomparable to any food I know.”
“And my body and five senses have been significantly enhanced. Yes, by eating the mutated ingredients, I think I became a Sequence Nine: Chef. However, when we discovered this, we did not seriously consider the risks and costs involved. We just blindly immersed ourselves in the supreme deliciousness and the magic of the mutated ingredients that enhanced the human body.”
“Some chefs who discovered the secret of the mutated ingredients gave them to their relatives, friends or children with fragile bodies.”
“However, the mutation of the body begins twenty-four hours after consuming the mutant ingredients. I just underwent a complete physical examination before coming here today. The results show that the mutation cannot be stopped. I can live for three more months at most. After that, I will either become a monster or die.”
“This is the fault of our ignorant and arrogant chefs. We served the mutated ingredients on the table without confirming what the mutation was and what kind of impact it would have on the human body.”
“So, I and 99 other chefs, including myself, intervened in your food battle using mutated ingredients. Since the situation is caused by food, it can definitely be solved by food. We want a solution to this problem. Even a hint is fine. For this, we are willing to obey you and give you our freedom. Because, I have people I want to save. And this is the price we have to pay.”
Feng Feng looked at Dojima Gin who was looking down and asked seriously, “You also told others about the mutated ingredients and gave them to your relatives and friends?”
“Yes, I worked with a few classmates to study cooking with mutated ingredients. We then published the results of our research within Totsuki. This was originally a study on the effects of meteorites on ingredients, but no one expected the impact of meteorites to be this great.”
“The price of your food battle this time is the human rights of 100 chefs, and what you want is the solution to the problem. Of course, this food battle will also be conducted with mutated ingredients. Whether you lose or win, you will get the answer from my food and my actions.”
Dojima Gin simply lowered his body and stood there in silence.
He gave up his dignity and pride. He used methods that he once despised. But he would not regret it and would not give up. As long as he could save the people he cared about, it didn’t matter what happened to him.
Even if he becomes a slave from now on, he is willing to do so. This is the persistence and ambition of the chef named Dojima Gin.
Chapter 68 Ward
“My teacher asked me to have three rounds of Shokugeki. Best of three.
If the first round is a tie, I must beat you. Let’s do this! We each cook a mutant ingredient and have someone eat it. The one with the better effect wins. “
“But, mutant ingredients are very dangerous, and the effects are hard to determine.” Dojima Gin just raised his head and tried to change the way of playing. Feng Feng had already scanned the various mutant ingredients and the people present.
“Don’t worry about it. This is just a teaching exercise. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do it. Since you will be my subordinate soon, I will find a way to deal with your mutation.”
Feng Feng glanced at the octopus tentacles cabbage in his hand and said, “Let’s use this cabbage. If you have time, could you do me a favor first? Dojima Gin.”
“Of course, please give me your orders. Please use this life as you wish. As long as it can atone for your sins!”
Feng Feng found a chair and sat down, then said, “First, make sure that the various machines I requested are in place and functioning well. Then try to find a mutant ingredient similar to the octopus tentacles cabbage I have. I’ll go and deal with it after I finish the class.”
“Everyone, I am a freshman in Totsuki High School and a special lecturer for the Extraordinary Course. Now I will start my first class. Please take notes carefully because I will only teach once.”
Dojima Gin glanced at Feng Feng who was sitting under the lamp, bowed and walked away. Feng Feng’s lecture was in his ears!
Mutated ingredients, this is what I want to tell you about in the second round of Food Wars. But before that, let’s give it a good name!
I usually call things with a lot of supernatural factors supernatural materials and ingredients supernatural ingredients. It’s simple and easy to remember.
The extraordinary factor permeates everything. Food is naturally one of them. It is also something that is closely related to humans. Because humans will die if they don’t eat for a few days. But what if there are only extraordinary ingredients in this world?
The answer is simple. Just make the extraordinary ingredients into something that people can eat normally. That’s why Sequence Nine is named Chef. Because in the future, if you are not a chef, you will not be able to survive in this world.
But there will definitely be some people who cannot advance to Sequence 8 for various reasons. So what should these people do? The answer is Sequence Extraordinary Hunters and the Extraordinary Food Materials in my hands.
I really don’t know the ritual and potion composition of Sequence 8. Oh, right. The advancement of the general sequence includes the advancement ritual and potion composition. The advancement ritual of Sequence is to think of yourself as a chef from the bottom of your heart and eat the food you cooked yourself for seven consecutive days. And the potion is the extraordinary factor itself.
Sequence 8 is many times more complicated than Sequence 9. The requirements are also much stricter. I just said that I didn’t know that the rituals and potions of Sequence 8 were real. My team leader has not told me this part of knowledge yet.
But you don’t think that sequence is something shameful, do you? Sequence Eight Extraordinary Hunter. You can guess a little from the name! Sequence is a complete path. Even the name of each sequence is meaningful.
Don’t the extraordinary ingredients and sequence 8 extraordinary hunters in my hands remind you of anything?
That’s right! The extraordinary hunter is a hunter of the extraordinary. It is the advanced level of the sequence nine chef. The extraordinary ingredients can be advanced to the sequence nine chef through the cooking of the extraordinary hunter.
Unfortunately, I don’t know the ritual and potion of Sequence 8: Extraordinary Hunter. But I have another way to complete the potion that allows people to advance to Sequence .
Gluttony among the seven deadly sins is one of the trials I have experienced. In this trial, I met a little chef. She died young at the age of ten. But she created nearly a hundred kinds of magic potions by herself! I want to tell you that there is such a person in this world. And how amazing she is!
Ward, Junyi Gitley. His father is Japanese, his mother is European and the runner-up of the European Cup Cooking Competition. But Ward has something similar to the extraordinary factor.
Ward’s body began to mutate. So her father, a top scientist, wanted to cure her. But he failed. But a father will not give up on his daughter. So he embarked on another scientific research path:
Since there is no way to cure the mutation, then we can induce and control it to make it beneficial. And this time Ward’s father succeeded.
When I first met Ward, she looked like a dragon person in a Western novel, with a single winged melon. But other than that, everything was normal.
Ward’s parents had passed away by then, and she spent her days alone in the laboratory studying the cooking techniques her parents had taught her, hoping to become the world’s best chef.
The cooking skills that Ward’s parents passed on to Ward were something that his father, a scientist, and his mother, a chef, did their best to prepare for Ward to survive.
I still remember the admiration Ward showed when he introduced his mother and the casualness he showed when he introduced his father. He must have gone crazy many times when he asked the top scientist to make the potion as delicious as the food. But it was because of this that a special cooking skill was accomplished.
After Ward’s death, I am the only one who knows this skill. There is no fixed name for it. But Ward used this skill to create hundreds of potions! I believe that those of you who already know what potions are should understand the value of this skill. And what a brilliant cook my friend Ward is.
Recalling this skill will bring back some unpleasant memories, so I don’t plan to use it much. After today, don’t come to me to prepare a sequence nine potion. If you want to advance, find a way yourself.
Ward’s father, Junyi, was a terrible scientist. He alone completed research that changed the world. So Ward suffered a lot after their death and finally died.
But everything in this world is determined by food battles. So be careful not to let this happen. Otherwise, I might abandon this world.
Now back to the topic! How to deal with extraordinary ingredients to make them harmless? First of all, you have to understand that no matter what country’s novels, movies or myths and legends, the extraordinary always has different attributes. And different attributes are suitable for each person.
The same goes for extraordinary ingredients. And it’s even more absolute. Each extraordinary ingredient corresponds to a different person. Yes, every one! And the person corresponding to the extraordinary ingredient in my hand is at this venue, so I chose this octopus tentacles cabbage.
After eating the food made with the extraordinary ingredients, the person will advance to Sequence Nine: Chef. This should be the job of the extraordinary hunter. The chef advances and uses the exclusive ingredients to make food for the corresponding person. But I am not an extraordinary hunter, and my cooking skills are not good.
But I have Ward’s skills and other heritage. I can achieve the same effect. Now please ask the person who is entangled by the silk thread to come to the stage.
Chapter 69 Zenji Marui
I will show you how to process the extraordinary ingredients and let this person advance to verify what I say.
Feng Feng stood up and said, “It’s just because fate has connected us.”
A thread appeared from nothing on the octopus tentacles, flew out, and flew to the students of the Near Moon Academy. Everyone’s eyes followed the thread and finally reached Soma Yukihira and the other protagonists.
The silk thread entangled a boy wearing glasses.
Xingfeng identified this boy.
Marui Zenji (Supporting role in “Food Wars!”)
Friendly: 31/100
Compatibility 83/100
Feng Feng held up the octopus-tentacle cabbage in his hand: “Marui Zenji, come back to school. This cabbage chose you. Please come up!”
After Feng Feng finished speaking, he walked to the side, where Dojima Gin had been waiting for a long time.
“Dojima Gin, use all your strength to make the best dish. I want the world to know what kind of person Ward, Junichi, and Gitley are. I want the whole world to regard her as the world’s best chef. So I will not lose and I don’t plan to cheat with any supernatural powers. Let’s start our food battle!”
Dojima Bank bowed and said, “I understand. I will definitely serve the best dish of my life. I’m sorry, but please use all your abilities! I will also use my supernatural powers to cook.”
A ball of flame appeared in Dojima Gin’s hand, burning irregularly. He Fengfeng demonstrated it and said seriously:
“This is the ability I gained after eating extraordinary ingredients. Although it can’t be used for fighting like in movies and novels, it can be used for cooking. And when a chef gains the ability to control fire, how terrifying it is. I believe you all know it.”
Feng Feng nodded and said, “You should have found ingredients similar to what I have! Then go ahead and make it! Usually the same type of ingredients are quite compatible with one person. So the ingredients you found are suitable for Marui Zenji. As for whether it can be processed well, it depends on the skills of the cook.”
Feng Feng walked towards the pile of experimental instruments and molecular cooking machines. His eyes turned redder. Notices from Eclipse kept popping up on the screen in front of him.
