Gourmet Beast Tamer

Qin Lang's curiosity did not last long.

Because after announcing the rankings of the eight promoted players, the host changed his voice and started the last session of the day.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first round of the judging competition for this year's Dongxia City Cooking Competition, but..." the host's voice paused slightly, and then became louder again, "There is still one last step today."

"That is to conduct a pre-match draw for the second round of knockout matches that will be held in five days!"

"Now, please look at our big screen!"

As the host finished speaking, the eight contestants on the field and the tens of thousands of spectators off the field all looked at the huge electronic screen in the sky.

The electronic screen at this moment no longer displays the scene on the field in real time. It is divided into three areas: left, middle and right. On the left and right sides are the heads of the eight players, and in the middle are entries for different competition types.

The three areas of the electronic screen began to scroll rapidly at the host's command.

Soon, the scrolling of the avatars on the left stopped, and the avatar of a rather delicate female player appeared on the electronic screen.

That was the fourth place in the rating competition, Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming, who had adjusted her mentality, clenched her hands slightly and calmly stared at the avatar that was still scrolling on the other side of the screen.

Even more nervous than her were the four players ranked behind her.

The ranking in the rating competition will have an impact on the draw for the knockout rounds.

What appears on the left side of the electronic screen are the top four in the scoring competition, and what appears on the right is the bottom four in the scoring competition.

Players on the same side will not meet in this one.

Soon, the scrolling of avatars in the right area of ​​the electronic screen stopped.

Zhu Ming's opponent is Qiang Xiaofeng, who ranks sixth in the rating competition.

Seeing the result of the lottery, Qiang Xiaofeng's face suddenly became a little complicated.

Among the four opponents he may face, Zhu Ming, ranked fourth, is obviously easier to deal with than the other three.

But... this player who is relatively easier to deal with is also not weak in strength.

This will be a difficult battle for him.

Qiang Xiaofeng's eyes were firmly fixed on the competition items still scrolling in the middle area of ​​the electronic screen, praying in his heart that this would be a subject that would be beneficial to him.

After a while, the scrolling of competition items stopped.

[Limit the value of food ingredients]

"The first match of the knockout round in five days' time will be Zhu Ming versus Qiang Xiaofeng!" The host's voice appeared at the right time. "The theme of the battle between the two is to limit the value of food ingredients. Now the big screen will scroll again to reveal the details of the two people's fights. !”

Almost at the same time as the host finished speaking, the middle area of ​​the electronic screen that was scrolling again stopped on the number "2000".

"Limit the value of ingredients to less than two thousand yuan!"

"The two players have five days to prepare, let's look forward to their showdown in five days!"

Qiang Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the chosen theme.

This subject matter is what he is good at. If he is well prepared, he should have a chance to beat Zhu Ming...probably.

"Now, let's continue with the drawing!"

Soon, another top four player was selected.

It's Lake.

And his opponent slowly froze after a moment.

The moment he saw his own avatar appear, Xiao He, who was ranked eighth in the rating competition, felt his head go blank.

Oops!

What are you afraid of?

The two players ranked fifth and seventh all breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for Xiao He.

The competition items of Lake and Xiao He were finally determined to be restricted to food themes, and the specific theme was fish.

"Next, let's take a look at the contestants in the third knockout round!"

After briefly introducing the battle between Lake and Xiao He, the host spoke loudly.

The screen scrolled again.

After a moment, Dan Bao's eyes widened momentarily as he looked at the slowly freezing portrait on the left.

"Gudududu!"

It's us!

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded, staring at the unsettled player's portrait on the right.

Which one of the remaining two will be his opponent?

Also staring at the screen were the fifth and seventh players, Zhang Chen and Bai Fang, who had not yet matched their opponents.

For both of them, there aren't many options for matching opponents.

Either he was going up against Qin Lang or he was going up against Tang Xie.

Bai Fang showed an indifferent expression.

In his opinion, no matter which one of these two players they face, it will be difficult for him to advance in the knockout round.

So it doesn’t matter who the opponent is.

Zhang Chen, on the other side, was silently praying that he would face Qin Lang.

Because he is very familiar with Tang Xie.

The two had many fights, but he never defeated the other.

Tang Xie had become his psychological shadow, so Zhang Chen felt that he might have a chance with another opponent.

"Deng...Deng...ding——"

As the electronic sound rang, the player's avatar on the other side of Qin Lang was finally frozen.

Fifth place in the rating competition, Zhang Chen!

Qin Lang subconsciously glanced at Zhang Chen, who was standing not far away, and couldn't help scratching his head when he saw the other person's happy expression.

Are you...so happy to be with me?

Forget it, let’s see what competition is drawn.

Qin Lang's eyes returned to the electronic screen.

The scrolling of items in the middle area finally stopped, and the frozen entries made him couldn't help but look in surprise.

This was a new project that he had never experienced before.

[Ingredients of your choice in the warehouse]

The so-called warehouse selection of ingredients does not mean that two Yuling chefs select ingredients in a food warehouse.

The warehouse here refers to the given food storage.

The Yuling Chef Association has formed hundreds of fixed ingredient libraries based on random combinations.

There are three meat ingredients, three vegetarian ingredients, three auxiliary ingredients and one random ingredient in the food library.

After drawing a certain ingredient library, in addition to the ten ingredients in the food library, Yuling Chef can only use basic seasonings for cooking.

This is the rule for the warehouse's self-selected ingredients.

Among the five competition events that can be chosen one-on-one, this one is the easiest to overturn.

After all, there are too many uncertainties.

Zhang Chen, on the other side, also looked nervous.

He has done this project several times, so he knows how difficult it is.

I just hope that the food library he drew can allow him to perform normally.

Under the nervous gazes of the two people, the middle area that had re-rolled on the electronic screen quickly froze, and what appeared on the screen was a number.

097.

This means that the ingredient library the two of them drew is No. 97.

"The third round of the knockout round will be contested by contestants Qin Lang and Zhang Chen!" the host said loudly, "The competition between the two of them is the ingredients they choose from the warehouse!"

"I believe everyone knows that this project is highly uncertain."

"So, now let's take a look at what ingredients are in the No. 97 ingredient library that the two of them drew!"

In the middle part of the electronic screen, paragraphs of text quickly appeared.

[Contents of No. 97 Food Library:

Meat ingredients: beef brisket, chicken legs, pork shank

Vegetarian ingredients: carrots, tofu, rapeseed

Ingredients: green onions, ginger, garlic

Special ingredient: rosemary]

Qin Lang withdrew his gaze.

You have to prepare well for the next five days.
