Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Attributes Chapter 220

  Chapter 220 Homesick Rice Dumplings

"In this competition, every contestant can get a purchase quota of 5 million! The contestants can use the 5 million to buy the ingredients they want from the food shops around us. Every ingredient has a clearly marked price. That's it, meow~"

  Chen Mo had already noticed that there were many shops around the square before, but he didn't expect that they were actually shops that supplied ingredients.

  He looked around, and found that the eyes of other imperial chefs were full of dignity.

  5 million may seem like a lot, but in fact, the ingredients that can be purchased are very limited. If you buy two rare ingredients, you will be gone.

   And the ingredients are limited, it is very likely to compete with other players for ingredients

  So the selection of ingredients requires the reasonable planning of each contestant.

   "The total duration of the final is 3 hours, which is divided into three parts: material selection, food production, and judges' scoring."

   Xia Yan with a loli face continued to explain:

   "Each contestant's score is still composed of quality points and judges' scores. However, unlike the previous two rounds, the final has increased the weight of judges' scores."

   "The 10 judges each have 5 points, a total of 50 points, and the full score of the quality score is also 50 points meow~"

"The specific rules for scoring are as follows - 10 points for rare food below level 5, 20 points for rare food from level 6 to rare 9, 30 points for rare food from level 1 to rare 5, 40 points for rare food from level 6 to rare, epic level And above food is a full score of 50 points!"

   "Then, let me announce that the title of this spirit-eating contest is—Nostalgia!"

   Xia Yan shouted loudly.

   There is a lot of energy in a small body.

   "Presumably everyone has a special affection for their hometown. This affection will be especially strong when you are in a foreign country."

   "So this time everyone's work needs to arouse the nostalgia of the judges as much as possible!"

  After Xia Yan announced the exam questions, both the Yuling Chef contestants who came to the finals this time and the audience watching the competition were stunned for a few seconds.

  The exam questions for this year's Young Chef Competition seem a bit difficult.

  At the judges' table, after hearing the exam questions, the ten judges also frowned, their expressions a little indescribable.

  They are worried that the players will not do well, but also worry that they will do too well.

   If they don't do well, it means the decline of Dongxia's gourmet industry, which they don't want to see.

  But the high degree of completion of the food at the end of the contestants means that they will be reminded of homesickness 30 times in a row. Who can resist this!

   I'm afraid I'm going to return to my hometown overnight after eating all these delicacies.

   A trace of worry flashed across Chen Mengqing's cold eyes.

  If you want to make food contain emotions and make diners empathize with them, then you must use a high-level food-based move-meltdown.

  Under normal circumstances, this high-level food-type move can only be mastered by food spirits at the commanding level and above.

  As far as she knew, Tuantuan probably didn't master this cooking skill.

  The exam questions were determined a month ago, and were formulated jointly by a number of Crown Royal Chefs.

  They mainly want to test the degree of mastery of the Royal Chef and their food spirits on the move of [Fusion], which is a must-learn move for almost every high-level food spirit.

   They probably didn't expect that there was also a mid-level imperial chef who made it to the finals with an extraordinary-level food spirit...

  More importantly, half of the total points scored by the contestants come from the judges.

  This means that the tactics of blindly pursuing quality points similar to those in the qualifiers will no longer be used.

  The situation is not good for Chen Mo!

  She couldn't help looking at Chen Mo in the middle of the square, but found that this guy seemed to be in a daze?

   In front of the stove.

  Chen Mo was naturally not in a daze, but when he heard the word "homesickness", he couldn't help thinking of Lan Xing in his previous life, his former parents, former classmates, and his former life.

  Although that world did not have extraordinary power, it carried a long period of his life experience.

  For him, the Blue Star in his previous life was his hometown.

   When he first came to this world half a year ago, he was also confused. He also missed his parents and friends in his previous life.

   Later, accompanied by Xiao Jiu and other spirit beasts, Chen Mo was gradually relieved. Now he's well integrated into the world. I seldom think of things in my previous life, only at certain moments, I think of them by accident.

  For example, when he heard the word "nostalgia" now, he couldn't help but arouse his thoughts.

   "Huh?" (Master, what food are we doing this time?)

   Nuomi Tuanling's anxious voice pulled Chen Mo back from his thoughts.

   Oh yes, now is the game, not the time to reminisce about the past.

  Chen Mo quickly "flicked through" the recipes in his mind.

  【World Pastry Master】Let him master thousands of different pastry making.

  The rules of the final competition are indeed very unfavorable to them. Tuantuan has not learned the food skill of "melting feelings", so they can only start with the effect of the food itself.

   Soon, Chen Mo found a pastry-like delicacy, which almost perfectly met the requirements of this exam!

   Homesick dumplings.

   This is a kind of pastry that has not been recorded in the spiritual world for the time being. According to the ingredients used and the level of the imperial chef, the quality of the finished homesick dumpling ranges from rare to epic.

  The effect after eating is to evoke strong homesickness. If the quality of homesick rice dumplings can reach the epic level, it can even make diners dream of returning to their hometown and relieve their homesickness.

   "It's up to you!"

  Chen Mo smiled.

  Since food skills cannot be used to arouse the nostalgia of the judges, then use the special effects of the food itself instead!

   "Oh!"

  Tuantuan clenched his fists to cheer himself up, his cute appearance endeared many viewers watching the live broadcast.

   "Make a few more, the probability of making epic-quality homesick rice dumplings is very high, and the quality score will be full first!"

   "Boom!" (Chong Chong Chong!)

   "But we can't be too happy too early. In this competition, there may not be the ingredients needed for homesick rice dumplings."

  Chen Mo looked around and saw that there were many shops that provided ingredients, almost hundreds of them, and each shop had a conspicuous neon signboard, which stated the types of ingredients sold and the name of the shop.

  These stores are sponsored by large companies or large suppliers that sell gourmet ingredients.

  They paid the organizers a lot of money to appear here, just to let their company "show their face".

  The advertising fee for the National Young Chef Competition is very expensive!

  Chen Mo saw that there were two shops selling traditional pastry ingredients, so maybe he could try his luck there first.

   If it doesn't work, you can only start the alternative.

  [World Pastry Master] let him master a lot of pastry making methods, and it's not just rice dumplings that evoke nostalgia!

  6:30

   "Next, please get ready—"

  Xia Yan held the microphone in one hand, raised it high with the other, and swung it down with the sound of fireworks.

"Game start!"
