Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Decision

Translator: 549690339

“Apart from accelerating the growth of Food Spirits, and making their star levels rise faster, Food Fights or Spirit Battles are commonly used as wagering methods in daily life to achieve particular goals.”

After learning about the situation from Qin Lang, Zhou Tianhao nodded slightly, “I have also encountered many similar situations.”

Then, he glanced at Qin Lang with some surprise, “1 didn’t expect that you are the cooking champion of Dongxia City. It seems that your talent in cooking is higher than in Spirit Battles.”

“That’s not much.” Qin Lang modestly shook his head, then humbly asked, “Does the Spirit Chef Association approve of such Food Fights and Spirit Battles?”

“No, so no Star Power is gained regardless of the outcome.” Zhou Tianhao shook his head, “But the Spirit Chef Association has no ground to oppose or ban such bets.”

After understanding the situation, Qin Lang wore a thoughtful expression.

There was one thing he didn’t say.

That was his next journey was already planned.

After returning to Dongxia City for a few days of relaxation, he was going to visit Qingyang City next.

On the one hand, Qingyang City is located to the west of Dongxia City and is close by.

On the other hand, from what he understood, and from Uncle Luo Hui’s guide, the Second-Level Food Recommender test in Qingyang City is the hardest among all cities in Tianhua State.

Qin Lang was interested in this.

When it comes to cooking, he has always liked to face challenges head-on.

If everything was normal, he could only express his inability to help the fan who sent him a private message. But since he was already planning to go to Qingyang City, he could check out the situation on his way.

He wouldn’t immediately agree or refuse. Making a decision after understanding the situation more accurately would be more appropriate.

“Qin Lang, are you going to help the fan with the bet?” Qi Xiaoyu, who heard the whole process, asked curiously.

“1 can’t make a decision yet.” Qin Lang shrugged, then picked up his phone to reply.

[Traveler: You can leave your contact information, and 1 may go to Qingyang City in a few days. I will make a decision then.]

After replying, he put his phone back in his pocket and continued to chat with others.

In a spacious kitchen, a somewhat thin boy stood in front of a table, kneading dough vigorously.

Next to him, a Food Spirit was dancing lightly, occasionally flashing faint light, infusing the boy’s hands with mysterious power as he kneaded the dough.

With the enhancement of this mysterious power, the thin boy’s hands seemed able to shape the dough quickly without exerting much effort.

Culinary Skill: Dexterity Enhancement

This special food skill can make the hands of the Spirit Chef more dexterous, and also endow them with more significant strength.

It’s only valid for handling food ingredients.

After kneading for a while and being satisfied with the dough in his hands, Zhao Wenchang wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, checking the other dough resting nearby.

“Still not enough.” He shook his head, about to turn around to continue working, his eyes filled with anxiety.

The competition between the two noodle restaurants was getting closer and closer.

During this time, Zhao Wenchang’s parents tried various methods, and used their connections to contact those Spirit Chefs whose cooking skills were not inferior to their competitors, but they often hit a wall.

What made Zhao Wenchang angry was that these failures were not due to other reasons, but because the competitor had reached out to those Spirit Chefs in advance, offering them enough rewards to remain neutral in this matter.

“The damned Liu family!”

He kneaded the dough in his hand with force, grinding his teeth in a hushed tone.

Looking back now, ever since their restaurant’s food supply was threatened, forcing them to agree to compete, Zhao’s Noodle House had been on the back foot.

The newly opened noodle restaurant wanted to swallow their family’s generations-old business, and would stop at nothing to achieve this.

He slammed the dough in his hand onto the countertop in frustration.

“Damn it!”

Sitting on a chair nearby, Zhao Wenchang carelessly ignored the flour residue on his hand, tousling his hair, a look of dejection on his face.

“It’s useless, it’s pointless to cram at the last minute.”

A few days ago, upon learning about the competitor’s selected participant, he actively challenged the cooking champion of Qingyang City through a Food Fight.

The vast gap between the two made him realize that this was not something that could be made up for by a few days of hard practice.

“Is there any other way…”

He lowered his head, murmuring dejectedly.

The Food Spirit approached Zhao Wenchang and rubbed his cheek, comforting him in its way.

“Dingdong— ”

A message notification from a mobile phone broke the silence in the kitchen.

Zhao Wenchang’s eyes refocused, he picked up his phone, and quickly saw the source of the notification.

[The UP host you follow, “Traveler”, has replied to your message.]

Traveler has replied?!

Zhao Wenchang immediately sat up straight, his eyes gleaming, his face filled with expectation and nervousness.

A while ago, he had watched the latest video from the UP host with the ID of “Traveler”. After realizing that this cooking champion from Dongxia City excelled in pasta dishes, he had messaged him on a whim.

After sending the message, Zhao Wenchang had been waiting for a long time, checking every few hours to see if the other party had replied.

But as the UP host had not replied for several days and the competition was getting closer, his expectations turned into disappointment, and he finally gave up hope, planning to help his family in other ways.

Now, the other party had responded!

Zhao Wenchang felt hopeful, but also nervous, fearing that what he had been waiting for was a refusal from the other party.

Soon, the message Qin Lang replied displayed before his eyes.

The other party was coming to Qingyang City in a few days?

Zhao Wenchang’s eyes widened, and the expectation on his face turned into surprise.

There’s still time!

“Dear passengers, please note, the train has now arrived at Dongxia City station, passengers who need to get off at this station, please take all your belongings and get off the train in an orderly manner…”

Listening to the repeating announcement on the train, Zhou Tianhao smiled and looked at Qin Lang and the others, “It was an interesting journey, but now it’s time to say goodbye.”

“Where are you going, brother Zhou?” Du Weiwei asked.

“Xieyu City.” Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, Zhou Tianhao explained, “It’s a city close to Tianhua State within Mingjing Province. I plan to start a new journey from there.”

“Mingjing Province is by the sea, and there is a large lake like Jumping Fish Lake, these are scenes you can’t see in Dongxia City.” He grinned in anticipation.

“I’ve never seen the sea before.” Qi Xiaoyu looked forward to it, “If I get the chance, I want to go and see.”

Seeing that the train was about to depart, she hurriedly pulled Du Weiwei and waved at Zhou Tianhao, “Goodbye, Brother Zhou!”

“Brother Zhou, thank you for your guidance.” Qin Lang spoke seriously, “I hope we have the chance to meet again.”

“When we meet again, you will definitely see my combined battle skills!” Zhao Chen confidently declared from the other side.

“It’s a small world.”

Zhou Tianhao waved at the four of them.

“Until we meet again.”
