Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

Erina suddenly "sick" after the game. As the little secretary, Fei Shazi naturally took over the important task of taking care of Erina by preparing ice packs, medicines, medicine and dietary supplements.

Because of the backlash from the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" before, the cold took advantage of it... That's right, Erina really caught a cold!

Because Yu Mei and Xiaohui have a good relationship with Erina now, and both of them are helping with the work, especially the porridge cooked by Xiaohui, which contains the "angel" kitchen heart. For Erina who is ill, the psychological effect is very good !

And Alice also volunteered to "take care" of Erina often, but every time it made Erina worse!

After all, when I have a bad cold, if there is an angry guy who understands my character, understands my anger, and then changes his ways, it will not be better if I change it...

So today Alice was kicked out by everyone again.

Originally, I wanted to go to the scene to watch Liu Maoxing's game, but when Liu Maoxing found out that she was the only one there, he would worry about what happened to the others.

And after the game is over, I will definitely ask her to ask questions...

So Alice decided to go shopping! Although with Alice's family background, it's not uncommon to go abroad, but usually you don't have the time to come to New York for a few days...

There are also TVs everywhere on the street, playing today's "All?

Because she guessed that Liu Maoxing would definitely come to Erina, Alice went directly to Erina's room.

Pushing the door open and entering, Liu Maoxing was about to close the curtains (actually, he just opened the curtains), and at the same time said to Erina: "Wait! I'll fill you up!"

After all, he didn't want Liu Maoxing to say this sentence to himself, and now there are only two people in the room!

In an instant, Alice's brain was wide open... No, there is no need for brains at this time, the facts have never been so clear as today!

"That... am I bothering you?"

Alice's tone at this time contained tension, gossip, excitement, loss... and even some expectations? In short, the whole person was excited and came here, as if they had really discovered some big event!

Liu Maoxing and Erina couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Alice couldn't see Linger, that is to say...

"Ahem, Alice! What are you thinking about? I'm talking about...filling myself..." Liu Maoxing himself felt that what he said was outrageous.

"What are you doing here again? With you here, I may not be able to recover before the draw of the main match! Cough..." Erina said weakly.

Seeing that Erina was obviously not recovering from a serious illness, Alice looked at Liu Maoxing suspiciously, as if she wanted to find out whether she had misunderstood it, or some people had lost their morals and attacked Erina who was ill...

But in the end there was no result, Liu Maoxing directly pushed Alice out together, and told Erina to take a good rest before leaving.

As for things like "full water", you can just find a sunny place, anyway, the mold has been copied.

Who knew that after Alice was pushed out by Liu Maoxing, she immediately used the excuse of "running away". When Liu Maoxing found her again, she was looking at Fei Shazi mysteriously. She didn't know what she had just said to Fei Shazi...

It's just that Liu Maoxing suddenly felt that Fei Shazi was more guarded against him, as if he was a troublemaker who wanted to harm Erina; Yu Mei looked at her with more resentment, as if she had done something heinous; The lower is even lower, if she has Yu Mei's "scale", I'm afraid she won't be able to see her face now...

"Alice! What are you talking nonsense to everyone again? Didn't I say that it was a misunderstanding..." Liu Maoxing supported his forehead.

"I'm not talking nonsense! I'm just telling you what I saw and heard. It's up to everyone to judge you later." Alice acted like I hadn't done anything.

But Liu Maoxing suddenly remembered, and immediately said to Fei Shazi: "That's right! You remember that the curtains were drawn before you left the room, right?"

"That's right..." Fei Shazi thought for a while, when Liu Maoxing entered, Erina was about to fall asleep again.

"Huh? You even opened the curtains on purpose?" Alice looked so excited.

After being glared at by Liu Maoxing, he stuck out his tongue and said nothing.

Not long after, Liu Maoxing also discovered the problem...

Originally, if I bear the "heart of the kitchen in the mirror", my emotional intelligence will be suppressed. I have always kept three "hearts of the kitchen in the mirror" before.

Before copying a "cooking heart" by Shinomiya Kojiro and a "deep soup pot" chef heart by Chef Carlo, Liu Maoxing has emptied two positions of the inventory, but he copied another Linger not long ago, and his emotional intelligence was once again affected. This is why they have fallen into the predicament of being misunderstood and explaining more and more chaotically.

But immediately Liu Maoxing was "囧", because he found that even if all the previous inventory was emptied, he didn't even keep the "devil" kitchen heart, but only the "cuisine heart", "deep soup pot" and "mirror mirror Linger" The three kinds of cooking intentions actually put pressure on Liu Maoxing's EQ!

In the end, Liu Maoxing locked on because... Linger was too "strong".

Because after discovering a way to use the "sun" kitchen heart and the power of the sun to keep the copied kitchen heart in the strongest state, the "deep soup pot" has been in a "full" state.

At this time, the pressure on Liu Maoxing caused by the "deep soup pot" had already surpassed "a heart of a chef".

Instead, it was copied from Sigong's "cooking heart", because Sigong has mastered the cooking heart for less than a year, so although the function is essential in Liu Maoxing's view, the effect is not supermodel, and the strength of Sigong's cooking heart It's not the same as Liu Maoxing, there is no need to add anything.

However, "deep soup pots" that need to be "filled up" put more pressure on Liu Maoxing than ordinary cooks!

And if the "deep soup pot" is still within the acceptable range, then Ling'er can only be described as "unfathomable". With the process of "filling up", Liu Maoxing feels that his EQ is improving a little bit. dog……

When Liu Maoxing couldn't help but stop, Liu Maoxing's "Spirit in the Mirror" only looked like a human figure, but there were still no details, and the pixels were severely distorted, just like the picture of the oldest grid game machine... ..., the devil and the princess look like the ones who only have different hairstyles!

But Liu Maoxing didn't dare to continue for the time being, because he felt that if he strengthened it again, the effect of "Mirror Mirror Linger" would make his EQ completely become the protagonist level of Internet novels.

"Forget it, when you really need to use it, there is still time to supplement it..." Liu Maoxing muttered.

In the end, Liu Maoxing did not give up "cooking heart" and "deep soup pot", because the role of "mirror mirror spirit" is still unknown, but these two "mirror cooking hearts" can obviously strengthen Liu Maoxing... The latter has been verified by Liu Maoxing, combined with the "inequalities of multiple flavors", the ability to grasp spices will show a multiplied increase.

And most importantly, Liu Maoxing estimates that even if the "Cooking Heart" and "Deep Soup Pot" are emptied, the space is far from enough to install the full version of "Mirror Mirror Linger".

At the same time, Liu Maoxing didn't realize that, apart from this reason, it was also because of an intuition deep in Liu Maoxing's heart that he had a slight defense against this "mirror image" in his subconscious, which seemed to be completely completed. Something happened!

Afterwards, the sun gradually set completely, and Shinomiya, Mizuhara, and Kanhitoko did not stay on the field. Instead, Soma and Misaku Subaru were in high spirits. They waited until 0:00 pm, when all the games on the last day were over, to return to the hotel.

And the reason why Sigong and others are not interested in the following games is because after the "Central Gourmet Team" performed abnormally, there are no more noteworthy teams!

The next few teams performed mediocre in the individual competition, and they didn't have any advantages in the team competition...

It can be said that although it was not announced, when the scores of the "Germinate Team" appeared, the leader of the "Central Gourmet Team" made a mistake, and the whole team became a mess afterwards, the top four had already appeared!

The first place is the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team". Although the team competition is slightly lower than the "Germinate Team" by 0.1 points, it is not enough to shake the opponent's advantage in the individual competition.

The second place is the "Hundred Star Sanying Team". The team competition results are almost on par with the "Italian Royal Cuisine Team". The same advantage in the individual competition has not been wiped out by the "Germinate Team", which once again emerged in the team competition. .

The third place is the "Germinate Team", fourth in the total score of the individual competition, and the first in the team competition, surpassing the "Seed Team"...

The fourth place is the "Seed Team" who narrowly qualified for the shortlist.

The reason why we say "dangerous" is not only because of the accident during the team competition, but the "Seed team" only has a gap of less than 0.2 points with the fifth and sixth place in terms of points!

Moreover, it must also be considered that the "Central Gourmet Team" and Ah San's team played themselves to death because of "accidents", otherwise the two teams would be strong contenders for fourth place.

Under numerous "coincidences", the "Seed Team" stood out...

Of course, the most critical role is still strength, otherwise, no matter how many opportunities there are, they will not be able to grasp them.

Until 0 o'clock in the evening, the scoring of all teams was over, and the competition committee also announced the top four finalists for the main competition.

After that, there will be three days of remedial time. Three days later, the order of the battles in the main match will be drawn, and the questions of the three individual matches in the first round will be announced...

But for other teams, it is a rest, but for the "Germinate Team" and "Seed Team", there is no time for rest.

Except for Erina who is still recovering from illness and Jun Shiomi who is not actually on the field, even Liu Maoxing who does not need the assistance of the kitchen staff has also devoted himself to training...

Of course, Liu Maoxing's training method is rather strange, that is, one person imitates the cooperation of the other four...

However, Erina's cold was almost healed in the middle, and after recovering her physical strength, seeing Liu Maoxing practicing team copying, Ling'er had to remind him: "Your team copying, I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to use it in the future."

"What do you mean?" Liu Maoxing asked puzzled.

"Who is your opponent after that?"

"There hasn't been a draw yet."

"From whom?"

"From..." Liu Maoxing realized what Linger wanted to say.

That's right, according to the rules, the draw for the first round of the main match is not completely random. In the four games where eight enter four, each game must be a "shortlist team" against a "recommended team".

In other words, in the first round of the competition, Liu Maoxing must have encountered a team with a dragon chef...

Judging from Erina's experience, since the chef affected by the "curse" will launch a "dark cooking showdown" against Erina because of Linger's existence, then Chef Long, who is more affected, will encounter Liu Maoxing. I'm afraid there is also a high probability that they will notice something and initiate the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" on their own initiative.

As the owners of the "cursed kitchen utensils", once they launch a "dark cooking showdown" against Liu Maoxing, according to Ling'er's guess, "Liu Maoxing" will definitely show up behind the seal, making Liu Maoxing and "Yulong" Pot" contact...

Afterwards, the "Dark Cuisine Showdown" will definitely become the "final showdown" that bets on human recipes.

And if "Liu Maoxing" was really upright and didn't leave behind, although the "final showdown" would not happen, Liu Maoxing might go straight to the street...

Of course, in case everything was a misunderstanding, and it was just a coincidence that Liu Maoxing had the same name as that person, then Liu Maoxing didn't have to worry about being thrown into the street for the time being.

Otherwise, even with the help of "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot", Liu Maoxing has no confidence that he can compete with opponents at the level of "Dragon Chef".

Originally, Liu Maoxing felt that directly using super vision "copy" tactics was the "only" way.

But after hearing Liu Maoxing's thoughts, Ling'er said: "I just want to tell you about this. If you meet a cook who is affected by the curse, you can use 'super vision' to analyze the recipes of those Long Chefs, but you must not copy them. His cooking heart!"

"Why?" Liu Maoxing immediately asked.

Without using the "Copy" ability, Liu Maoxing didn't know how he could defeat Chef Long.

"Because if you copy the other party's kitchen heart, the 'curse' may be copied along with it!" Linger said.

"..."

Liu Maoxing has nothing to say this time. Indeed, if Liu Maoxing is also affected by the "curse", then all human beings will rush to the street together...

"Then what should we do?" Liu Maoxing asked eagerly.

"The last time you won three consecutive 'Fighting Duels', the culinary improvement and acceleration effect you got after that hasn't passed yet?" Linger asked.

"No... I've been exercising the ability to 'copy' recently."

Liu Maoxing had the feeling that he painstakingly added an ace skill to the full level, only to find that all the bosses on the opposite side were immune to this skill.

"After combining your super five senses, you have the ability to improve your cooking skills by tasting new dishes, right?" Linger guessed.

"You can say that……"

Linger only guessed half right. After Liu Maoxing tasted new dishes, his cooking skills would improve in a small scale. This was discovered by Linger himself, but he attributed it to the cooperation of Liu Maoxing's super five senses.

After all, Ling'er only had super-taste before she was alive, so it is only guessed that the super-five senses appearing in a person at the same time will make a qualitative change in the depth of his understanding of recipes!

"Afterwards, I will assist Erina, and try my best to reproduce the recipes of ancient civilizations, so as to improve you as much as possible!" Linger said.

"Wait... I don't think this effect will be very big. I guess with my current cooking skills, at least I have to cook at the Lin level to have some effect, and I can't even do a lot of food below the Lin level. If I want to have a significant effect , I’m afraid we need a dragon class..." Liu Maoxing said.

Recently, Liu Maoxing's promotion in this way has almost had no effect.

Even for a dragon chef, not every dish he makes has a dragon rank, but he must go all out and use the most suitable recipes to be able to make a dragon rank dish!

And now...the dragon chefs are affected by the "curse". After confirming that they entered the main competition yesterday, Liu Maoxing also visited Master Lin Yi, Master Xie, and the more familiar new dragon chef Seiichiro who also came to the competition. Although their attitudes towards themselves have not changed significantly, they often lose their minds in front of him, and Liu Maoxing feels that they will lead the topic to "come to the school to test your recent progress in cooking skills"!

Of course, Liu Maoxing left immediately with an excuse, knowing that this was caused by a "curse". If he agreed to be tested, he might be in danger...

This is also proof that he is indeed another alternate-generation descendant of "Liu Maoxing"!

As for letting them cook for themselves?

Even if there is no "curse", it is not an easy task...

"Don't worry, I'll show you the world's first dragon-level strength." Ling'er's expression became solemn.

Seeing what she said, Liu Maoxing had no choice but to agree.

He also didn’t mention that he improved only the most basic cooking skills through the way of tasting dishes, and now Liu Maoxing’s basic cooking skills have reached a super four-star level, and there is not much difference from the ultimate five-star basic cooking skills...

From the day before the lottery, Liu Maoxing did not train with other people, but "trained" alone with Erina, but if his training process was known by others, he would probably be jealous to death!

When the others were training, Liu Maoxing tasted new dishes of the Twelve Dragons every day.

Each one is something that Liu Maoxing has never seen before!

Liu Maoxing's ability to taste food and improve cooking skills is that the more delicious the food, the greater the improvement rate, but it is also affected by the overlapping degree of the food.

Completely overlapping, that is, exactly the same cooking, only works for the first time, and if you taste similar cooking, there will be a certain debuff...

And Ling'er obviously also saw this point, all the recipes of ancient civilizations are very different from modern cuisine, so that Liu Maoxing's basic cooking skills have also improved significantly while eating to his heart's content!

However, after twelve passages, Linger's whole body became "soulless", and in Liu Maoxing's eyes, it was even a little blurry...

In Ling'er's words, she used Erina's body to cook before, and this process was very exhausting for her. Twelve meals a day is already the limit...

And when confronting Chef Long, she cannot be expected to come out. After losing her body and leaving only a crippled soul, Linger herself has no resistance to the "curse".

Of course, Liu Maoxing was already shocked by this. You must know that for normal dragon chefs, it may be less difficult for them to cook hundreds of Lin-level dishes a day, but if they cook ten dragon-level dishes a day, it will be more difficult for them. Not everyone can bear the consumption of kitchen heart.

Liu Maoxing estimated that according to his current "progress" speed, he would be able to make his basic cooking skills reach the super five-star level within five days...

"Without considering the food domain, the basic cooking skills have reached the super five-star...well, your current super five-star is indeed the limit of the basic cooking skills! After the basic cooking skills are perfected, the ability to make the food sense series also has A feed-back improvement, after that... If the 'Dragon Jade Dragon Pot' will appear, and you can fully play its role, and then you will completely simulate the heart of 'my' chef, it will probably be the same as the Dragon Chef. There will be a 20% to 30% chance of winning." Linger said.

"Are you really encouraging me?" Liu Maoxing said helplessly.

None of these conditions mentioned by Linger are "guaranteed". None of them may be able to move...

And if you can't reproduce the complete "Mirror Mirror Linger", you can't expect much from fully mastering the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot".

Even if so many situations come together, Liu Maoxing only has "20 to 30% chance of winning"!

"Do you think the dragon level will be so easy to deal with? There is a 20% to 30% chance of winning, or considering that the dragon chef may not necessarily be able to have a dragon level idea, otherwise your chance of winning is only half to half at most..." Linger said.

But after hearing what Linger said, Liu Maoxing seemed to regain some fighting spirit, and said directly to Linger and Erina: "Go back and rest first! I want to continue practicing."

"Isn't the title announced tomorrow?" Linger asked.

"I'm going to start thinking about the recipe tomorrow, but I can't waste it today. I'm going to take advantage of the effect of the 'Fighting Duel' to see if I can master another kind of essence!" Liu Maoxing said.

Seeing that Liu Maoxing had finally found the only way to increase his chances of winning, Ling'er smiled in relief...

Indeed, although the effect of this kind of "grinding the gun before the battle" is very limited, it is the only way now, and it also symbolizes that Liu Maoxing is full of energy. If he is discouraged, he will lose even a small chance!

And at this moment, Erina did not leave, but walked to another cooking table in the cooking room...

"Huh? Erina, you should go to rest first..." Liu Maoxing said hastily.

"Before, Linger was moving, but now it's my turn, and the cold is almost gone, it's time to move around." Erina said, obviously going to train with Liu Maoxing!

Even the next day Liu Maoxing willfully drew lots, asking Kojiro Shinomiya to do it for him...

Anyway, it doesn't matter who is drawn in the lottery. Every team with a dragon chef must be defeated by himself. Why waste precious training time?

Even if you improve yourself a little bit, the odds of winning will be 1% higher, which is of great significance to Liu Maoxing!

Although Sigong didn't understand that Liu Maoxing was so desperate all of a sudden, but because of the reason why he was suspended for one game because of impulsiveness, Sigong obviously didn't dare to speak loudly now, so he went to draw lots for the headstrong team leader...

When he came back, he told Liu Maoxing that the opponent he had drawn was the "Michelin representative team". Tim, let Sigong and the others see the difference.

And four days later, with the help of Linger and Erina, Liu Maoxing finally perfected his basic cooking skills...

The system still has rewards for reaching the super five-star level, and this time the rewards have thoroughly verified many previous conjectures. It is not the super-intuitive guess of Liu Maoxing himself a long time ago, but... a pot!

Jade dragon pot with dragon pattern, unsealed and recognized the owner...

Liu Maoxing is still unwilling to believe this fact, the final "reward" is actually this hot potato?

Struggling to death, he said to Erina: "Hey! It's your fault, why did it come out?"

"No, it's your fault..."
