The competition was filled with countless excellent contestants.
Elsewhere, Mr. Luo, after finishing the Glittering Silk Foot Fish, began the match.
In the chosen area, there was another formidable chef, a high-ranking figure in the underground gourmet world, also known as Golden Tooth Brian.
At this moment.
Mr. Luo was busy at the potion pot, a technique he learned from Granny Qian of the Raven Dell Forest: Potion Cooking!
With specific cooking methods, ingredients could be directly added to produce finished dishes, offering incredibly high efficiency.
Tian Zui and Atlas assisted, with Atlas carrying a bamboo basket that was a high-capacity space equipment.
Inside, besides Level 1 ingredients from the Gourmet Bank, the three teammates had also personally purchased a considerable amount of high-level Gourmet Bank seasonings, as well as food collected and stored by the team previously.
In terms of wealth, Tian Zui and the others were not lacking.
Golden Tooth Brian lay reclined opposite them, surrounded by busy chefs and suited men in black.
"Aren't you going to start?"
Facing Mr. Luo's question, Golden Tooth Brian sneered, "How could these lowly peasants be worthy of the dishes I prepare? The rules don't forbid assistants, I simply have more assistants than usual."
Beside Golden Tooth Brian, there were at least three thousand chefs in white robes, and tens of thousands of men in black suits.
Both the chefs and bodyguards were highly skilled individuals, all at least Level 25, with the chefs possessing around three-star proficiency.
The underground gourmet world...
Tian Zui observed, "This resource is at least ten times that of the Black List. And apparently, this is only a fraction of their personnel..."
The underground gourmet world was a criminal organization spanning the continent, whereas the Black List's influence was limited to only two or three countries. The two could not be compared.
It was rumored that the core of the underground gourmet world was the Gourmet Casino, possibly the predecessor to the Gourmet Casino in the original work.
It covered an area of 300 square kilometers, twelve times the size of the Longzihu campus in Henan.
It housed a high-end gourmet gathering place comparable to the Great Glacier Gourmet City, attracting the world's top tycoons who sought excitement in the casino.
Most importantly, it was a place where addictive ingredients and various contraband could be legally bought and sold, generating unimaginable sky-high profits.
However, with the Black List now affiliated with the Gourmet Bank and training a large number of youths, these newcomers, after tempering, would surely not be inferior to the underground gourmet world in the future.
The chefs of the underground gourmet world were all bizarre in appearance, using a wide and extravagant array of weapons, possessing solid skills, and cooking at an astonishing speed.
Observing Mr. Luo, who was sweating profusely, his output was only a tenth of the opponent's.
Tian Zui comforted him, "As long as you qualify, that's all that matters. In a competition of this level, there's no need to push yourself to the limit, especially when you're facing three thousand three-star chefs!"
Even at a tenth of the output, Mr. Luo alone could match three hundred people.
Mass production was simply not suited for Mr. Luo's wilderness survival style.
"Yo, everyone's busy. Lively, isn't it?"
Another team appeared.
The chef in the lead was thin and tall, with hair like a broom standing straight up, and a chef's hat resembling a bandana.
As a man, he wore a tight-fitting top that exposed his navel and abs, with a heart-shaped cutout on his chest. His white straight-leg pants made his legs appear exceptionally long.
A very flamboyant man.
"Everyone, I am the head chef of Red Maru Restaurant, Red Maru Hon Maru. You can just call me Red Maru."
"Seeing how slowly you're working, you probably can't handle the vast number of disaster victims here. Leave the rest to me."
