Chapter 1557: Chapter 1558: Just Like This
But in Ye Chen’s eyes now, he was no longer just some ordinary businessman.
He was a culinary master with real talent and solid skills.
What shocked him even more was that Ye Chen clearly hadn’t devoted himself single‑mindedly to cooking, yet he could still achieve this level, possess this kind of technique—what kind of monstrous talent was that?
Only a truly top‑tier genius could pull that off.
He himself also had exceptional talent, but for him to get this far it had taken day‑and‑night practice plus his own understanding, to reach his current level. Now, toward Ye Chen he didn’t just feel admiration anymore—this was worship from head to toe. Originally, before all this, he only wanted to take this competition’s championship, get that fund, and then further enrich his own life. Because if you want to forge peerless culinary arts, you also need a certain financial base. So right now he needed to take first place; with that money he could keep diving deep into cooking.
Before this, he never planned to work under Ye Chen. Even if working for Ye Chen could earn him a lot of money, in his previous mindset he really didn’t have much goodwill toward someone like Ye Chen, who was so obsessed with making a name for himself.
After all, he’d heard Ye Chen’s name before—that guy was the type who spent money without even blinking. A person like that had to be a bit rash, so he had no intention of working here.
But the moment he tasted Ye Chen’s dish, he realized the person in front of him was nothing like what he’d imagined before.
Ye Chen definitely had his own long‑term schemes, and on top of that...
he had genuine, hard‑earned skill. With someone like that, why wouldn’t he want to be friends?
Even if he cooked under Ye Chen, what was so unacceptable about that? Besides, he believed that if he could learn and exchange ideas with Ye Chen, he would definitely reach a higher realm.
So at this moment he didn’t hesitate at all. Of course, he didn’t say much either; he just nodded at Ye Chen.
But from that nod alone Ye Chen could tell he’d already agreed, not to mention the firm resolve shining in his eyes.
This competition was basically close to perfect now, and then Ye Chen had Luo Xinxin announce the end.
But although the contest was over, the truly exciting part was still to come.
That was the prize money payout.
To stir up an even bigger sensation, Ye Chen directly arranged an extremely major event.
On‑site cash payout.
A whole stack of bills appeared on the stage.
That was several hundred million Primordial Coins! Some people, let alone earning that much in their whole life—they probably had never even seen that much money.
Holy shit, that much money! I really want it! As expected of Ye Chen, what a massive operation!
Did you see his eyes just now? It was like, in his view, this pile of money wasn’t even worth mentioning! People comparing people will piss you off to death.
Right now Ye Muchen was giving Mo Wenying a very strange feeling, as if what stood opposite her was a deep, unfathomable black hole—mysterious, vast, and overwhelmingly powerful.
"What’s going on?" Mo Wenying felt that when it came to scientific matters, she should ask the scientists beside her.
"Q‑Queen... Her Majesty the Queen, I don’t know either!" The Demon Scientist said, his legs trembling.
Just as Mo Wenying was about to continue asking, Ye Muchen gave them an explanation.
"Boom~"
In practically an instant, every piece of equipment in the entire lab was molecularized by Ye Muchen. Moganna stared blankly at the scene, utterly dumbfounded.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat now!" Mo Wenying immediately screamed in panic.
Unfortunately, it was already too late...
The scientists closest to Ye Muchen were instantly molecularized by him, dying without even a speck of residue left behind, and the lab originally built specifically to imprison Ye Wenying likewise turned to ash in an instant.
Ye Muchen’s pitch‑black eyes locked onto Mo Wenying and the others as he muttered in a completely emotionless tone, "What an intoxicating power. You ants actually dare lay your filthy hands on my power! Are you ready to bear God’s wrath?"
At this moment, Ye Muchen had absolutely no awareness that he was bare‑chested talking to other people.
Mo Wenying merely watched Ye Muchen curiously, and that alone told her that his current state was wrong.
No kidding... a little brat suddenly growing into a handsome young man—any normal person would know something was off.
"You leave first. The Queen will deal with him." Mo Wenying said to the few surviving scientists beside her.
After speaking, Mo Wenying fixed her vigilant gaze on Ye Muchen, while also preparing to attack at any moment.
But how could Ye Muchen possibly let the ants who tried to steal his power go?
"Die!"
Ye Muchen pointed distantly at the remaining Demon Scientists fleeing not far away, and those scientists who had just started to run didn’t even have time to scream before they were instantly reduced to molecules.
Seeing her subordinates beside her turn into molecules in an instant, Mo Wenying’s expression immediately became extremely ugly.
She was famous across the universe for how much she cherished her subordinates, and now Ye Muchen had slaughtered several of them right in front of her. How could Mo Wenying not be furious?
"No matter what kind of crap you’re pulling today, I’m damn well going to teach you a lesson!" Mo Wenying glared angrily at Ye Muchen.
And the black‑eyed Ye Muchen also very "humane‑ly" revealed a cold smile, as if mocking her overestimating herself, or laughing at her sheer ignorance.
Ye Muchen’s cold smile thoroughly provoked Mo Wenying, and in an instant four Demon Chains, under her control, lashed toward Ye Muchen, who was floating in mid‑air.
Yet Ye Muchen treated this attack as if he didn’t see it at all, just standing there straight and still, while Mo Wenying, seeing Ye Muchen completely unguarded, also revealed a cold smile.
But the next scene left Mo Wenying utterly dumbstruck. She found that her Demon Chains couldn’t even get close to him; the moment they approached Ye Muchen, they would instantly be molecularized.
"Impossible..." Mo Wenying stared at the Demon Chains that had turned into molecules, hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and retracted the Demon Chains.
Studying the Demon Chains up close that were now only half their original length, Mo Wenying’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. "This... what the hell is this guy? Directly molecularizing things—that’s supposed to be the power of the Sunlight, isn’t it?"
Mo Wenying’s mood right now was obviously incredibly depressed. Of course she knew just how terrifying the Ye Muchen before her truly was.
"Could this guy directly break me down too?" Mo Wenying thought, feeling totally unsure.
"Could this guy directly break me down too?" Mo Wenying thought, feeling totally unsure.
You had to know her physical toughness was only a bit stronger than the Demon Chains. If his ability was really what she suspected, Mo Wenying felt the probability that she herself would be reduced to molecules was definitely over 90%!
"Atuo! Hurry up and separate the lab in Area X from Demon Wings, otherwise the entire Demon Wings is going to be wiped out!" Mo Wenying ordered anxiously through her earpiece.
