Chapter 1552: Chapter 1553: Feels Just a Little Bit
The points always feel insufficient, but now it might be just enough. In reality, Ye Chen is very wealthy, but in the marketplace, faced with items that require tens of thousands of points, Ye Chen is definitely a downright pauper like Yu.
At least now, just a little bit like Jue Yu.
The dishes in the top ten, now they can start eating them easily.
The feeling of only needing to do things without responsibility is truly wonderful.
Ye Chen next began to taste them one by one. Finally, he was left with the two candidates he had in mind.
But when there were these two people left, Ye Chen started paying attention. As he said before, their dishes were indeed good, just as he had imagined, almost equal, and the details were quite similar.
However, based on Ye Chen’s judgment on those things, he could still barely decide the third place. As for the names after the third place, Ye Chen didn’t plan to give them because anything beyond third place was meaningless, and he couldn’t judge them.
Because at that time, it became very difficult. After all, if everyone had to be ranked, it would even make Ye Chen embarrassed, and Ye Chen was too lazy to trouble himself.
Only the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes are different, the rest get the same prize. So why embarrass everyone? The honor of being in the top 10 is already quite high, so Ye Chen
is now focusing on deciding the first, second, and third place, and he already has a candidate for the third place in his heart.
Now he just needs to decide the first and second place.
However, even for the first and second place, he would definitely have a hard time, so Ye Chen must feel with his heart.
Ye Chen walked up to one of them.
The person looked at Ye Chen with an extremely confident expression, his stance exuded a transcendent confidence.
It’s as if he himself knew that Ye Chen valued him greatly, and in his opinion, Ye Chen would definitely choose him as the champion because he had such ability.
Indeed, when Ye Chen looked at this person, he immediately felt his extraordinary confidence.
This confidence was not blind but matched with his own abilities.
Surely, he was a capable person, and Ye Chen could see he was someone with skills.
Ye Chen opened his dish and took the first bite.
If an ordinary person tasted this, they might not be able to discern the differences between it and others. But Ye Chen immediately picked up on the details.
Even the top ten, what he made was still somewhat different from others.
From the way he cut the ingredients to the final cooking technique, including the mastery of heat and time, this dish was executed to perfection.
This is why this person was so confident; everything was so perfect, with no faults.
Moreover, it even tasted slightly better than the other few people.
But the details, of course, only Ye Chen could discern.
Of course, these things aren’t the point.
Though this person was very confident, confident to the point of being somewhat arrogant, he was still very meticulous when making the dishes, and his skills matched his high standards.
This was a very perfect dish, with the color, aroma, and taste all intact, and it had surpassed mere description—there was only a revelatory feeling.
Ye Chen nodded in deep satisfaction because this dish met his champion standards.
Of course, Ye Chen didn’t plan to say anything now. While this dish was perfectly executed and met his champion standards, it didn’t mean that no one could surpass it in Ye Chen’s mind.
One of the top ten, looking at Ye Chen’s satisfied nod, the chef became even more confident.
Ye Chen’s reaction was just as he had imagined. Thus, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face. Canon support ∞ Share
His selection as a champion and runner-up but after finishing his dish, Ye Chen only made a simple note, then left.
Ye Chen didn’t say a word to him, nor did he give him any hint that he could win the championship.
Nor did he give him any indication he could be the runner-up. Although in Ye Chen’s mind, he was already among the choice for champion and runner-up, Ye Chen didn’t intend to let him be happy too soon.
After all, for someone so confident that he’s arrogant, letting him know early would only inflate him more.
Though he has skills, this is a competition, and Ye Chen must be fair, just, and open.
There’s still another person’s dish that hasn’t been tasted yet, and this person is another choice for champion and runner-up in Ye Chen’s mind.
Now Ye Chen approached him.
This person was previously the one with slightly confused eyes.
But when Ye Chen stood before him this time, Ye Chen suddenly noticed there was no longer any panic in his eyes; instead, they became very calm.
Ye Chen didn’t know if the other was feigning calmness, but now
the choice for champion and runner-up was about to happen here, and the result was about to emerge, "Chairman, please taste!"
That person opened his dish, and unlike earlier, where others meticulously carved their dishes to perfection for everyone (bbcb) to see.
This person, however, had enclosed his dish in a tool, and only when Ye Chen was present did he open it. Others, when done, used complex techniques to sculpt their dishes, making them appear extremely ornate; but after doing so, visually it wasn’t as dazzling. However, although not so ornate, when the chef removed the tool, a fragrance immediately wafted out.
Just the smell was already irresistible, at least for those with insufficient self-control. For Ye Chen, the aroma merely made him very satisfied. But it further confirmed Ye Chen’s impression of him.
His dishes emitted an unusual aroma, truly worthy of his esteem—was it because he initially secured them with tools? Ye Chen no longer pondered these things as he was now here, naturally needing to taste them first. When Ye Chen placed the first bite in his mouth, he was struck by a breathtaking sensation—yes, this seemingly ordinary dish even affected his mood.
This was undoubtedly a masterpiece! Ye Chen had never tasted a dish like this before. This was the first person capable of creating such a dish.
This could no longer be described as perfect; it was truly extraordinary.
The creator was definitely a genius, and it was the person standing before Ye Chen.
This person’s skill had caused Ye Chen to be astounded, particularly with what he produced.
Originally, things like this were extremely exaggerated, yet unexpectedly, there was another person capable of doing it.
For Ye Chen, the first person was himself.
Because in the system’s exchange inventory, Ye Chen had seen similar skills. He had mastered them as well.
But no matter how impressive it was, it was still his own. Now seeing similar things from others, Ye Chen was truly astonished.
