107: Food Showdown

Feeling this unimaginable Cultivate speed, Han Fei immediately immersed himself in Cultivate, forgetting himself.

Time passed quietly.

Until a voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Today's Mission Release

Before 12 PM today, at the Chef Rank Selection Hall of the Gourmet Academy at Tianhe City Third Hunter University, engage in a Food Battle with any judge.

If you win the battle, you will receive a golden-grade Chef Spirit Blade as a reward.

If you lose the battle, you will lose half of your culinary skills.

If you abandon the mission, the serial mission will immediately end.

After listening to the mission description, Han Fei checked the time.

It was already past 11 AM.

Did I Cultivate all night?

Han Fei felt nothing.

He had truly reached the Realm of forgetting himself earlier.

His whole body and Soul were immersed in Cultivate.

Because after his superpower Aptitude broke through to S-Rank, the improvement for him was simply too great, so great that Han Fei even doubted its authenticity.

In just one night, he had already broken through to the middle stage of the second layer, and the third layer was just around the corner.

As for the Bottleneck, he had never encountered one.

If previous Cultivate was like hurdling, then current Cultivate was like driving a sports car.

Smooth sailing all the way, with plenty of fuel!

This speed made Han Fei unwilling to stop; he truly wanted to Breakthrough to the third layer of Cleaning Superpower in one go.

For him, this was not difficult at all; he might be able to Breakthrough to the third layer after just one more day of Cultivate!

But to complete the mission, Han Fei had no choice but to stop.

Let's go complete the mission first.

Defeating an ordinary judge was not difficult for Han Fei now.

As for the Chef Spirit Blade rewarded by the mission, it was also a very good magical item.

Each Chef Spirit Blade is parasitized by a Chef Spirit.

As long as the Chef Spirit's appetite can be satisfied, the Chef Spirit will Incarnation into the most loyal guard, protecting the chef's safety.

The Chef Spirit's strength depends on the chef's culinary skills and the quality of the Chef Spirit Blade.

An ordinary Two-Star Gourmet Hunter can cause a golden-grade Chef Spirit Blade to transform into a Chef Spirit with D-Rank strength.

Soon, escorted by the Special Guard Team, Han Fei arrived at the Chef Rank Selection Hall.

Chef Rank is a chef Rank division unique to Dragon Country, involved in all aspects of Dragon Country.

For example, the graduation requirement for the Gourmet Academy of the Third Hunter University is that the Chef Rank must reach Rank four.

The entry requirement for teachers is to pass the Rank six assessment.

Many top Gourmet Academies have such requirements, which many chefs jokingly call the Rank four and six Hell.

And some star-rated restaurants will only hire chefs with a high Chef Rank.

Of course, Star-Rank Gourmet Hunters do not need to undergo Chef Rank assessment.

One-Star Gourmet Hunters automatically receive a Rank eight Chef Rank certificate.

Two-Star Gourmet Hunters automatically receive a Rank ten Chef Rank certificate.

Han Fei has not yet obtained a One-Star Gourmet Hunter certificate, so his Chef Rank is naturally zero.

Originally, he was not qualified to enter the Chef Rank Selection Hall.

However, the Special Guard Team made arrangements, so Han Fei naturally had no obstacles.

Thinking of finishing the mission quickly and returning to Cultivate, Han Fei didn't waste time and went straight to the point: "Have your judges come out to see me."

The guard knew Han Fei's identity was not simple and quickly ran to the office to call out all five judges.

What is your Chef Rank? Han Fei asked.

The five people answered one after another.

Rank seven.

Rank seven.

Rank eight.

Rank eight.

Rank nine.

As judges, their Chef Rank was naturally not low, and one of them was as high as Rank nine, equivalent to the level of a One-Star Advanced Gourmet Hunter.

Han Fei looked at a slightly chubby middle-aged man among them.

He was the oldest of the five, but his Chef Rank was only Rank seven.

What is your name?

My name is Sun Wancheng. Sun Wancheng answered cautiously.

Han Fei said unceremoniously, "I want to have a Food Battle with you."

As soon as these words came out, all five people present stared with wide eyes.

Han Fei was too lazy to explain anything and just said, "I'm in a hurry, make it quick."

Although very surprised, the few people did not dare to defy Han Fei.

After all, they all knew that Han Fei's identity was not simple and not someone ordinary chefs like them could offend.

Soon the challenge venue was set up.

The so-called Food Battle is a cooking competition between two chefs on a specific Food Stage.

After completing the preparation of the dish, the gourmet food is placed in the center of the Food Stage.

The Food Stage will score the competition based on the color, aroma, and taste of the food, as well as the chef's performance during food preparation, with the higher score winning.

Sun Wancheng really couldn't understand why this young man with an extraordinary identity wanted to have a Food Battle with him.

In fact, as early as twenty years ago, Sun Wancheng had already passed the Rank seven Chef Rank exam.

But later, after becoming a Chef Rank judge, he gradually lost his original intention and became addicted to power and money, and had not studied culinary arts for many years.

Now, let alone passing the Rank seven Chef Rank exam, he might not even pass the Rank five Chef Rank exam.

The result was naturally without question; Han Fei easily won this Food Battle.

Battle successful!

Serial mission progress + 0.00012%

The Chef Spirit Blade has been stored in the prize warehouse and can be retrieved at any time.

It's done? That was easy.

Han Fei chuckled and shook his head, just as he was about to return to his apartment to continue Cultivate.

The System's voice rang again.

Today's Optional Mission

Within today, engage in a Food Battle with any Rank eight judge in the Chef Rank Selection Hall.

If you win the battle, you will receive the Hundred Flavors Condensing Pearl as a reward.

If you lose the battle, your culinary skill level will drop by half.

If you abandon the mission, serial mission progress - 0.00006%.

Huh? Again?

Han Fei was immediately stunned.

Although he was eager to go back to Cultivate, he decided to complete the mission as quickly as possible, thinking it wasn't difficult.

Then Han Fei looked at one of the two Rank eight judges, pointed at him, and said, "Have a Food Battle with me!"

Less than half an hour later, Han Fei won without any surprise.

Battle successful!

Serial mission progress + 0.00035%

The Hundred Flavors Condensing Pearl has been stored in the prize warehouse and can be retrieved at any time.

Han Fei just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he could finally go back to Cultivate.

Unexpectedly, he heard the System's voice again.

Today's Optional Mission

Within today, engage in a Food Battle with any Rank nine judge in the Chef Rank Selection Hall.

If you win the battle, you will receive Two-Star Advanced culinary skills as a reward.

If you lose the battle, your culinary skill level will drop by half.

Serial mission progress - 0.00015%.

No way? Again?

Although Han Fei was a bit surprised, he still accepted the mission.

After all, the reward was very good; Two-Star Advanced culinary skills, if he obtained this reward, he would be a Two-Star Advanced Gourmet Hunter.

The Food Battle soon began.

The culinary skills of that Rank nine judge were actually on par with Han Fei's, so it wouldn't be easy for Han Fei to defeat him.

However, before the battle, Han Fei gave him a threatening look.

Seeing this, the Rank nine judge naturally didn't dare to use his true abilities and eventually lost to Han Fei without surprise.

Battle successful!

Serial mission progress + 0.00177%

Two-Star culinary skills have been injected into your body.

The next moment, Han Fei felt a large amount of culinary experience rapidly integrate into his brain and various parts of his body.

Soon, Han Fei had digested all this knowledge, completely possessing culinary skills comparable to a Two-Star Advanced Gourmet Hunter.

Then, the familiar voice rang again.

Today's Optional Mission

Within today, engage in a silver-grade Food Battle with any Two-Star Gourmet Hunter who is going all out.

If you win the battle, you will receive a bronze-grade kung fu cuisine treasure chest as a reward.

If you lose the battle, nothing.

Seeing that there was no penalty, Han Fei initially wanted to refuse.

But after seeing the mission reward, Han Fei immediately changed his mind.

kung fu cuisine treasure chest, this treasure chest is not bad, just right for my newly acquired milestone reward.

Earlier in Magic City, Han Fei had been Cultivating his Cleaning Superpower by opening environmentally polluting bronze treasure chests, and he had long met the milestone requirement of opening one hundred bronze treasure chests.

The milestone reward he received was called 'bronze treasure chest transform transform transform'.

This reward can randomly transform any bronze treasure chest into a bronze treasure chest of better quality.

For example, a Rank one soap treasure chest can be transformed into a Rank two or Rank three other treasure chest.

Of course, it could also transform into another Rank one treasure chest better than a soap treasure chest.

Undoubtedly, for this milestone reward, the higher the Rank of the treasure chest being transformed, the better the quality of the transformed treasure chest.

The best quality bronze treasure chest Han Fei currently had was definitely the magic cake treasure chest.

But that treasure chest certainly couldn't be used for transformation, otherwise, where would Han Fei find magic cake?

Although the kung fu cuisine treasure chest was not as good as the magic cake treasure chest, it was not far off and was definitely a very high-quality bronze grade treasure chest.

If he used it for transformation, he would definitely get a very high-Rank premium treasure chest.

Where should I find a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter?

It's not like Two-Star Gourmet Hunters grow on trees; there aren't many in the entire Tianhe City.

There must be Two-Star Gourmet Hunters in the Tianhe City Third Hunter University Gourmet Academy.

But most of them are invited professors, who are often on business trips and rarely teach at the university.

Han Fei frowned and thought for a while, then looked at the five judges beside him.

Are there any Two-Star Gourmet Hunters at the university now?

The five judges looked at each other, and then one of them shook his head at Han Fei and said, "We don't know either."

Given their status, they naturally couldn't inquire about the movements of invited professors.

Han Fei was helpless and could only ask the Special Guard Team for help with the investigation.

Soon, Han Fei received a reply.

The university currently has a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter in the Noodle Branch.

Upon receiving the news, Han Fei immediately headed to the Noodle Branch without another word.

Soon, in a classroom at the Noodle Branch, he saw Professor Yang Fan, a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter, who was currently teaching.

At this moment, in the spacious classroom, every seat was occupied, and the students were all sitting upright, exuding an eager thirst for knowledge.

Although it was still summer vacation, the elite class had already started early.

Han Fei's gaze swept across the students and immediately spotted a familiar face.

Qin Jixing.

During the last God of Cookery Competition, Han Fei discovered his Value Perception ability, which is why he had kept him in mind.

First, I'll complete the mission, and then I'll find an opportunity to copy his ability.

After a faint glance at him, Han Fei's gaze focused on Yang Fan.

Yang Fan, who was teaching, also noticed Han Fei at this moment.

He frowned and was about to ask something when he heard Han Fei say, "Professor Yang, I want to have a Food Battle with you."

As soon as these words came out, the entire classroom erupted.

Is this person crazy? Running to battle Professor Yang? Doesn't he know Professor Yang is a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter?

I think this person must be a psychopath. Where are the security guards? Why don't they take him away?

This guy looks decent, but I didn't expect him to have a problem in the head. What a pity.

...Yang Fan's expression was as cold as frost; he completely ignored Han Fei's presence and turned his gaze towards the door, urgent calls erupting from deep within his throat: "Security! Security! Come here quickly!"

His voice echoed in the corridor outside the classroom.

However, no matter how much he shouted, there was no response from outside the door.

Yang Fan's heart involuntarily sped up, and an inexplicable unease began to spread within him.

Just as the tense atmosphere grew heavier, Han Fei's voice, like a sharp wind, cut across his ear.

Professor Yang, I hope you will accept my challenge.

There was an almost imperceptible hint of provocation in his words.

Yang Fan turned his head sharply, his gaze like a knife's edge shooting towards Han Fei, his face extremely grim, "What if I refuse?"

Han Fei merely shrugged lightly, a playful smile appearing on his face, "I don't think you will."

No sooner had he spoken than, as if to add a touch of drama, Yang Fan's phone suddenly rang.

What the person on the other end said was unknown, but Yang Fan's complexion instantly changed from ashen to pale, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The call ended quickly.

Yang Fan seemed to have undergone a cleansing of his Soul, and his attitude immediately made a complete one-eighty degree turn.

He slowly spoke in a tone that could almost be described as reverent: "Are you asking me to have a Food Battle with you now?"

After speaking, he even bowed slightly, his respectful demeanor making it hard to believe that this was the usually arrogant Two-Star Gourmet Hunter, Yang Fan.

All the students in the room were stunned.

It should be known that Yang Fan had always been a prominent figure on campus, and the halo of a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter gave him a very high reputation among teachers and students.

And now, such a figure was showing unprecedented respect to a young man who was only twenty years old.

The identity of this young man instantly became an unforgettable mystery in the minds of everyone present, and eyes filled with awe and curiosity were all directed at Han Fei.

Facing the complex gazes from all directions, Han Fei seemed completely unfazed; his attention was entirely focused on the upcoming duel.

The location needs to be changed; I want to have a silver-grade Food Battle with you!

This declaration was like a heavy bomb dropped into a calm lake, leaving everyone present shocked into a stupor.

A silver-grade Food Battle and an ordinary Food Battle are completely two different concepts!
