Chapter 376 The Kitchen God Takes Action
——Teyvat
Liyue Harbor, Yujing Terrace.
The final of the Chef King Competition.
Xiangling decided on the dishes, and Yanxiao's progress was equally fast. After confirming the menu, the two of them selected the ingredients as quickly as possible.
Wash vegetables, slice them, heat the oil...
It is done in one go, with smooth movements and no drag, which is pleasing to the eye.
On the other hand, the two representatives of Hina and Tsukina... were still in a daze.
"Contestant Yan Xiao is worthy of being the candidate for this year's championship. He decided on his work the fastest among all the contestants and then selected the best ingredients."
"And Xiangling is not bad either. She was just one step slower than Yanxiao in selecting the ingredients."
"The two contestants are racing against time, but the representatives of Liuliting and Xinyuexuan are..."
Suddenly, Ning Yao exclaimed:
"Ah! Dear audience, something surprising is happening on the field now!"
"Xiangling's helper Guoba actually chose to help the representative players of Liuliting and Xinyuexuan at this time."
"Excuse me, panel of judges, does this matter comply with the rules?"
[Oh, I knew this plot wouldn't be so simple and straightforward. There would definitely be an unexpected event! Werewolf is here to kill me! ]
[Everyone knows how to speak after the fact. If you say you know something, then you know it. If you have the guts, show us the evidence.]
[The role played by Guoba in this event is indeed extraordinary. This role is already the treatment of the protagonist. ]
Yan Fei also asked the jury how to deal with such a situation.
This situation has never occurred in previous competitions, so there are no corresponding rules and it is impossible to determine whether it is a violation.
Ningguang glanced at Zhongli and Guizhong, and seeing that neither of them had any intention of speaking, she stood up and said:
"Logically speaking, if someone other than the contestants helps a contestant, it is undoubtedly a violation of the rules."
"But Guoba was a helper applied for by contestant Xiangling. He was not a member of the competition. Moreover, Guoba did not offer any help."
Everyone saw this and realized that Guoba was just walking around among the contestants who hadn't taken any action. He didn't do anything, and he didn't even touch the ingredients in front of the two of them.
It was just cheering for the two with its smile and actions.
"So, Guoba did not violate any rules."
Keqing also stood up and said that this behavior was not a violation.
Because although Guoba was Xiangling's applicant to enter the competition venue as a helper, in fact, except for lighting the fire, all other tasks were done by Xiangling herself.
Guoba was just cheering him on from the side.
Just like what it is doing now.
"This helper is impartial, encouraging both his own side and his opponents. He is a fair helper."
“The competition among young people is just exciting. As an old man, I have no objection to that.” Uncle Tian, the gourmet, said with a smile.
Xuan Jian stood up and said, "The host and notary, please continue to host the game. This little guy did not do anything to interfere with the game."
"If it does violate regulations in subsequent competitions, our judging panel will make the decision."
Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Guoba Yiwu did not handle the ingredients for other contestants, and Erwu did not have any communication with other contestants. It did not violate any of the "contracts" of the competition."
"Since there is no breach of contract, there is no need to bear the consequences."
[Well, Lao Deng has spoken, this is a real violation, and Guoba is also acquitted. ]
[The relationship between Zhongli and Guoba seems unusual. It seems that Guoba is very likely to be the protagonist of the Moon-Chasing Festival. ]
[I didn’t know whether Xuanjian was telling the truth or not, but now that Zhongli opened his mouth I knew it was a lie~]
[Ningguang: Guoba violated the rules, canceled... Zhongli: Hmm? Ningguang: Misjudgment, this is a misjudgment.]
"Ah~ Mido..."
Yiya had been eating fruit and didn't know the specific situation, but he could see that his good friend was being troubled, so he spoke out in support.
Gui Zhong coaxed the child, "Okay, dear baby, you continue to sit down and eat the fruit, and leave this to Sister Gui Zhong."
Then Guizhong stood up, activated the loudspeaker on his collar, and said in a voice that the entire audience could hear:
"Let me say a few words."
The whole place was silent; even Xiangling and Yanxiao, who were busy, couldn't help but put down their work.
"Xiangling, did you ask Guoba to interfere with the contestants?"
"Lord Chen Wang, I didn't. Guoba is not my external aid, but my family and friend. I will not restrict its actions."
Xiangling replied to Guizhong and said:
"I think it must have gone there to help the two contestants from Liuliting and Xinyuexuan relieve their nervousness."
"Well, you're right, these two players are indeed more relaxed than at the beginning."
In the end, everyone looked at the two contestants and found that it was indeed the case.
With Guoba's encouragement, the representatives from Liuliting and Xinyuexuan have recovered and are eager to try the food in front of them.
[King Chen also spoke up for Guoba. Guoba is definitely the protagonist of the Moon-Chasing Festival! ]
[Maybe it was Iga's request? ]
[Iya is still sitting in his seat eating melon... the possibility is very small. ]
"Then Xiangling, can you guarantee that Guoba will remain like he is now and not interfere with the game in any way?" Gui Zhong continued to ask.
"Lord Chen Wang, I can guarantee it."
After saying that, Xiangling looked towards the judges and the audience, indicating that she was willing to vouch for Guoba. She believed that Guoba was sensible and knew what he could and could not do.
At the same time, Xiangling also expressed her attitude:
"I really want to win the championship, but I hope to win it after defeating my opponent fairly."
“If my opponent can’t use his full strength because of nervousness, then I can only feel unwilling to win.”
"This... no, every year, if the contestants in the Chef Championship cannot perform normally because of their mentality, it will definitely be a pity for the Chef Championship."
Ever since the trip to Wangshu Inn, Xiangling wanted to compete with Yanxiao. But that didn't mean she didn't look forward to competing with other contestants.
Most people in Liyue Harbor believe in Xiangling's character.
Besides, the rice crust didn’t really do anything.
The most important thing is that the two contestants seemed to be really relaxed with Guoba by their side.
"well said!"
Guizhong took the lead in applauding, followed by Zhongli.
Then it was Xuanjian, followed by Ningguang, and finally the entire Yujingtai gave applause to Xiangling.
"If the Kitchen God were still alive, he would definitely appreciate you."
Gui finally sat back down, continued to hold Yiya, and said, "In this case, there will be no problem at all, let's continue the game!"
——Digression
Went to a friend's house for a barbecue, so was a little late.
The Chef Championship will end tomorrow and the Guiliji event plot will begin.
