Chapter 864 Lu Li: I said the game continues

At the venue of the food festival, most of the chefs competing were oblivious to what was happening outside and were fully immersed in their passion for cooking.

However, there were a few powerful ones who noticed that something was wrong.

For example, Grandma Jieno looked around the venue in confusion. She had just sensed some "malice" coming towards the venue. There should be a large number of creatures attacking this side.

But those auras were fleeting, as if they disappeared just as they touched the edge of the venue.

Grandma Setsuno glanced at Jiro who was drinking at the edge of the stands, and Jiro just nodded slightly, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Seeing her old partner's performance, she understood what was going on and continued to concentrate on cooking.

Unlike Granny Setsuno, some of the chefs were feeling strange and worried that nothing unusual was happening outside.

For example, there is the cooking king Zeus, who has secretly joined the mysterious organization NEO (New Food Utopia). He was the champion of the last food festival and is currently the world's number one chef.

The situation is similar to that of Apollo, the cosmic chef ranked 27th in the world. The original mission instructions they received today were that once something happened in the cooking competition, they would start to cooperate with other members of NEO to capture a large number of outstanding chefs.

On the surface, today's battle is the Gourmet Club invading the venue of the Gourmet Festival. In reality, it is the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is waiting behind, and the NEO organization is the real mastermind behind all this.

Lu Li and Aizen were also clear about this. After all, they had read this part of the original work. Although they were not quite clear about the origin of the NEO organization, based on the information Aizen obtained in the Blue Universe, they felt that the NEO organization and the NEO Gourmet Devil should be related.

Since he knew that NEO would be in charge of today's invasion battle, Lu Li had of course reminded Yilong in advance. However, Yilong seemed to know more than Lu Li and only said that with Jiro in charge at the food festival venue, nothing would go wrong.

Lu Li could only assume that Yilong had actually known about the existence of the NEO organization for a long time and had planted a double agent in it. He probably already knew that the NEO organization would invade today.

Unfortunately, Lu Li, who has read the original novel, knows that Jiro was so busy showing off his affection in this battle that he messed up the situation. Not only did he fail to calm the situation, but in the end a lot of chefs were kidnapped by the Gourmet Club, and Xiaosong was also on the list of victims.

Lu Li also found it very strange, because he had learned acupoint pressing from Jiro through fighting, so he knew Jiro's true strength better.

But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that in the original work, when Joe Ya led the members of NEO to cause trouble, Jiro shouldn't have had to fight hard.

The same goes for Granny Setsuno. If you use the reconnaissance skill directly, you will find that this old lady is a super strong person who is not inferior to Jiro and his generation.

So was it really this old couple’s show of affection that messed things up?
When Lu Li was thinking, the people outside couldn't hold their temper again. This time, the ones who came to attack were the top executives of the Gourmet Club, including Chief Chef Dolles, Chief Chef Kuromade, Chief Chef Bernres, and Chief Chef Kalu. These were the top fighters in the Gourmet Club except for the Three Tigers.

But what's funny is that these people are actually NEO's undercover agents in the food club. I can only say that the brothers Yilong and Sanhu are quite funny. Their own organizations, regardless of whether they are good or evil, have been infiltrated by NEO and become a sieve.

So on the surface, today's battle is the Food Club invading the chef competition venue, but in reality it is all directed by NEO.

Even now, the security system outside the food festival venue has been completely dismantled, and the riot gate has been opened directly. This is the result of a traitor within the IGO colluding with both inside and outside forces.

Yes, there are many people from the NEO organization in the senior management of IGO. For example, the person who is now opening the door with high authority is the vice president of IGO, Shigematsu.

"How is this going!?"

Mansam, who was watching the game in the stands, sobered up immediately when he noticed the door opened, because that passage was originally used to transport various super-large food ingredients and game equipment, and normally it would not be opened.

Mansam immediately rushed to the control room and saw someone standing there directing the door to be opened. He loudly demanded, "Maomatsu, what are you doing!?"

IGO's vice president Maosong turned around, a cigar between his lips, a smile on his bearded face, and as he walked towards Mansam, he suddenly attacked.

Because Mansam had seen the opponent's abnormal behavior, he was on guard, but because of the difference in strength, he was still knocked out by a punch, smashing through the thick building layer and flying directly into the arena.

Lu Li had just stood up from the table when he saw Mansam being beaten back. He walked over and pulled up the generous and wine-loving man, "Director Mansam, didn't the president tell you? Something big is going to happen today."

Mansam was a little confused because Yilong didn't tell him anything. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so flustered just now.

Because Mansam was suddenly knocked into the stadium and broke through the internal structure of the stands, it caused panic among many spectators.

Those people in the venue who had already prepared to cooperate with the NEO organization were also ready to make a move.

At this moment, Lu Li raised his hand, and an invisible aura spread out, instantly freezing those who were preparing to take action.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient. This is just an entertainment activity for the food festival. Director Mansam just wants to show you his iron head skills."

Lu Li said this with a smile, but with his personal charm, the audience found it unconvincing. As Lu Li no longer suppressed his aura, some of the audience members at the front edge of the stands fainted.

"Iron Head Kung Fu or something like that... Don't impose weird settings on me just because I have a bald head."

Seeing Lu Li so calm, Mansam stopped panicking and complained helplessly.

Lu Li didn't argue with Mansam about this, but instead glanced at the G7 judges in the stands, "Everyone, what are you standing there for? The competition continues, give me 'good and serious' scores."

The reason why he emphasized this was because he knew that IGO's G7 judges, the top gourmets from each member country, were all controlled by NEO.

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, today's chef competition cannot be held normally unless there is strong external intervention.

Lu Li asked Xia Ren about the difficulty of her task. Xia Ren said that her task was so difficult that she would definitely die, but she said that she was confident that she could make delicious food and get high scores.

However, Lu Li did not think that Xia Ren's level was not enough to stand up in this chef competition. Even if she was not the champion, getting a good ranking would not be a problem. The task rewards were divided into different levels, and it was not only the champion who would give her benefits.

But since the difficulty is fatal, it means that the competition will be difficult to proceed normally, even if Lu Li has read the original work and reported to IGO in advance.

Now, in order to complete the task of shrimp, Lu Li has to ensure the normal progress of the competition, so even if he puts a knife on the necks of the G7 judges, he has to let them continue to comment.

"This guy is so domineering..."

"Is he the only explorer in this world?"

"Why don't the people outside come in?" "..."

At this time, the explorers hiding in the field were all ready to make a move, thinking that Lu Li was too arrogant.

You should know that this is a world where explorers from the eight major spaces have all entered, with a total of nearly 1,500 people, including some seventh-level peak masters.

Now several months have passed, and all the masters have gathered on Earth. As a late seventh-stage explorer, why do you think you can control the whole place?
However, even though the explorers in the field were depressed and whispering in their hearts, no one would step forward, because most of them were explorers below level seven, the type who stood in line to survive in this world.

I came to the Food Festival today more to fish in troubled waters, to see if I could steal some chickens in the chaos, kill some powerful plot characters, and take back some high-level treasure chests.

"Miss Xia's partner, Lu Li, one of the Five Heavenly Kings, please abide by the rules of the competition. This round of competition that requires a food hunter partner has ended. Please return to the stands as soon as possible and do not interfere with the competition."

A G7 on the judges' panel spoke, with beads of sweat running down his forehead as he spoke, because Lu Li's power just now was too strong, causing those of them who already had a certain level of strength to feel palpitations.

"I wasn't interfering with the game, I said game on."

Lu Li said as he jumped onto the stands and stood behind the judges. He placed his hands on the shoulders of two judges, one on the left and one on the right. He leaned forward and said, "I didn't interfere with the chefs' cooking, nor did I interfere with the judges' judgment. Don't you agree?"

The G7 judges originally wanted to show off their pride, but after Lu Li came close to them, they only felt that kind of aura, which made their souls tremble.

So the judges all nodded and said, "The competition will continue. In the fourth round, the remaining 13 contestants will use the ingredients we prepared in the competition venue to make your most proud dishes. We will score and determine the rankings."

In fact, the rules of the fourth round were not that simple, but the G7 were no longer in the mood to read out such long rules, and the host of the food celebration had fainted when Lu Li passed by him.

Under this situation, G7 was too lazy to come up with those fancy rules and simply pushed the game forward quickly.

Otherwise, they felt that the demon behind them would bar its fangs at them.

For a moment, G7 began to curse the people outside in their hearts, thinking what a bunch of rubbish, with the IGO's internal and external cooperation, the door was opened for you, how come after such a long time, you still haven't entered?
As a result, these judges with weak fighting ability have to suffer the injustice caused by Lu Li here.

"Brother Lu...is this really okay?"

After listening to the new rules read out by the judges, Xia Ren spoke hesitantly. She had said before that she didn't want to cheat, but now Lu Li has held the judges hostage. If the competition is conducted in this way, how can the final ranking be determined? Will the mission really be recognized and valid?
"What are you talking about? I didn't interfere with the competition. Just do your best and show your professionalism as a chef."

Lu Li said, not only to Xia Ren, but also to the other chefs, "Look, the national treasure of gourmet food, Grandma Jie Nai has already started cooking, so learn from her."

Granny Setsuno was indeed very calm, mainly because Jiro was also present and she herself was an expert, so there was no need to panic at all.

Since G7 announced the new rules, she would naturally continue cooking as usual. The ranking didn't matter to her. She was just a cook. Since she had participated in this kind of competition, she would do it seriously to the end.

"Hey...what on earth is going on here?"

A Lu, who had just returned to the stands after the third round of competition, was also confused about the current situation, and the other four heavenly kings were in the same boat.

"I heard the enemy's voices. It seems that there is a group of complacent guys waiting for me to slaughter them."

A grim smile appeared on Zebra's face.

“I saw a lot of people dying.”

Keke looked serious, "Something big happened, so Teacher Lu Li is in control. Xiaosong, be careful and don't stay too far away from us."

"Really? It's really not beautiful to cause trouble during a celebration like this."

Sunny also said angrily that he wanted to rush outside to see what was going on, but was pulled back by Alu.

Because A'lu said that Lu Li said to let the competition continue, and the chefs below also began to use their skills. They should watch this celebration to the end and witness the results of the chefs' hard work.

Xiaosong was also staring intently at the bottom, cheering for Xiaoshen, but the distance was too far and Xiaoshen couldn't hear him at all.

At this moment, outside the huge venue, corpses were everywhere, and the head chef of the Gourmet Club, Dolles, had a terrifyingly gloomy expression on his face.

In front of him, all the GT robots were crushed into powder, and when they touched the edge of the venue, the creatures would be crushed by the terrifying sword intent.

There was an invisible wall blocking them, and the name of that wall was death.

"Damn it... If I wasn't sure that the boss was fighting Yilong, I would have thought this was a minority barrier..."

Dolles spoke in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced. He gathered all his strength and punched the invisible wall with great force.

"idiot."

In the back, a seventh-level explorer who was walking over saw this scene and whispered.

When Dolles' hand touched the invisible wall, it was instantly crushed into powder, and his attack shock wave failed to break through the wall. It was like a drop in the ocean, and could not hurt the food venue at all.

You know, with his strength, he could sink a country with one punch, but this punch didn't make any sound, instead his arm disappeared.

Not only that, he finally understood why the master coming from behind commented on him in this way, because he only felt that there was a domineering energy corroding his body, which instantly brought his life to an end.

He just broke his arm, and his gourmet cells should be able to regenerate it, so at least it wasn't a fatal injury, but now he seemed... to be dying.

"I……"

Before he could finish his words, he died completely, and his whole body turned into a pool of blood under the true wounds of the Soul Eater.
