It was clear that Doctor Huang was just trying to cast wool over everyone's eyes, but no one dared to act and say anything against him.
Forget about anyone else, even the old man that was supposed to be from the Li family could only look at him in doubt for a few moments, before saying,
"Hahahaha~! Isn't that so Doctor Huang, it seems like we both are way behind the skills and abilities of this young gem that my Li family has recruited this time!"
Hearing that Doctor Huang's face went a bit dark and gloomy. After all, what kind of genius would like to hear that there was someone better right in front of him.
It was the same as shaming him and saying that he wasn't good enough. He didn't care what the rest of the world thought about the Li family Saint, but he surely didn't like to be considered lowly.
Still, he understood that he didn't have the qualifications, or the opportunity to actually confront the old and the young brat at the same time openly.
Even if he did want to fight against the young brat it would be considered as the old generation bullying the young.
As both the young Chef Chen's age and Realm were way below the person in front of him, so the Li Saint wouldn't allow something like a fight between the two of them to take part.
But thinking deeper, the words of the Li family Saint actually appeared like a life vest to him, as he thought that he didn't necessarily need to fight to actually challenge the damn brat.
"Sure, I think so to Master Li, but at the same time, I am also extremely curious and hope to learn one or two things from this new Master.
I don't know whether he would be as willing as to exchange a few pointers with me!"
"Hoh~!? You are saying some truly interesting things Doctor Huang, but it depends on young friend Chen to accept or reject your offer!"
Eric didn't need to be a genius to understand that he was being tested by the Li family Saint. After all, what he had asked in exchange showed he had quite the appetite.
But just having the appetite was far from sufficient, because if he wanted something then he needed the skills, and abilities to deserve it.
But this didn't bother him in the least, quite on the contrary actually, his thoughts were in concord with these intentions.
'Since you want to test me, then let me show you the reason why you should try harder to please me!'
These were his thoughts at the moment, as he looked at the old man with a gentle smiling face, and then with a cold face towards Doctor Huang, and then asked,
"Very well I accept this challenge! But I am afraid that it will be too bland if we just exchange pointers, so what does Doctor Huang think for a bet?"
"Hahahahhaah~! I was thinking the same young friend Chen, I was thinking the same! It's just that I was afraid to offend you, so I will let you decide on the bet!"
"Hhahahah~! Doctor Huang is humorous as well! Do you think that I would lack money with my skills Doctor Huang?
Furthermore, just like Li Saint said, I am a new recruit of the family, I am sure that they won't be stingy with their conditions and terms!
So what do you say if we bet 50 million dollars each?"
"50 million dollars!? Sure, but if you can't pay the money after, don't blame me for making you work that money out!"
"Certainly! Then how are we going to exchange pointers Doctor Huang? What do you suggest?"
"Well, recently I have heard rumors of a great deal between a few people here in Longgang City about the famous potions that have started to appear recently.
The truth is that I and my Master have been extremely curious about these potions and have researched them for quite some time, to come up with a better version.
But no matter how much we have tried we have only managed to create a potion with 10% of its effect! This means that the one who has come up with these potions is a Divine Alchemist.
I am sure that you have done the same thing! After all, for people like us, these potions are a chance to help us break through our limits.
So, I would like to suggest that we compete on imitating those potions, and the quality of our product! Who manages to come up with a better quality product in an hour, is the winner.
What say you!?"
For a moment, Eric was extremely excited as he was finally going to have an alchemy competition just like those people in the novels, but he was completely disappointed after.
To think that a bastard like him would so shamelessly brag about copying another guy's work, and even less than 10% of its effect, and be so happy, and proud.
Wasn't this the same as openly accepting that he was an idiot, a donkey compared to the other guy? In fact, not even a donkey as even they lived their own life, and not copying others.
Furthermore, as the person who had brought these potions in this World, and the person who could concoct them with closed eyes, how could this be called a challenge to himself?
This was nothing short of this idiot Doctor Huang shooting himself in the foot with his own gun and thinking that he had killed the bandit.
Losing all the interest and excitement, young Chef Chen could only look with a disappointed expression, and then say with a sigh,
"Sigh~! Ok!"
Everyone was able to sense, see, and hear the disappointment on his face as he said that which made Doctor Huang even more enraged with him, as he felt that he was being looked down.
He had lowered himself to challenge this bastard brat in front of all the people present, and all he was faced with was disappointment?
How could he accept that!? So he immediately said in a harsh and heavy tone,
"What is the meaning of that sigh 'young friend Chen'!?"
Eric couldn't go and tell him the truth about what he was thinking, as that would be too overboard, and it would only bring him more trouble in the future.
So he looked at the nearest window, as if trying to look beyond the horizon and said,
"It's not wrong to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers, and tread upon the safe and easy road, but I am someone who likes to create and tread upon my own path.
For that reason, I don't think that imitating or copying others' work will help us achieve anything in our life, only our honest and personal work will help us improve!"
The old man of the Li family couldn't help but look at the young Chef in front of him one more time, but this time with more surprise and scrutiny.
This kid seemed like he was way more mature than his looks, and body showed. Making even him a bit ashamed of himself, as he was the same as Doctor Huang and that Master of his.
While everyone seemed to be deeply thoughtful about his words, Eric couldn't help but laugh his ass off inside, as he had just called himself a forefather of Doctor Huang.
The only remaining part was to call Doctor Huan a grandson and have him kowtow three times in front of him. This was getting better and better.
"Your words truly make sense young friend Chen, it's just that in the present the most important thing is to help and cure people and improve their lives.
These potions will help millions and billions of people if spread through the world, so we can't help but try to imitate and large produce them."
"You are right Doctor Huang, these potions are a great boost to a bright future for humanity. If only that divine doctor widespread the formula, people wouldn't suffer like this nowadays.
Well, you don't have to worry about me, since I gave you my word I will surely participate in the challenge, it's just that my approach will be different, and I will show my own useless skills!
What do you think Doctor Huang?"
The guy's face couldn't get any gloomier as he thought that this was the way of this brat making a path for himself from the situation in front of him.
Even if he lost he could just say that he tried his best to prepare something original, and if he won he would smear even more on his face.
Well, the second option seemed totally impossible as he had a trump card to help him win, but even the first option was not what he wanted.
But if he pushed more in this situation, it would just make that old man Li Saint enter the fray. It was a two versus one fight for him, from the beginning and he could only accept.
"Sure, let me witness the geniality of young friend Chen as he opens and treads upon his own path!"
"Please!"
In a short amount of time, under the direction of Li Saint, the stage and the materials were all provided, as the Gao family members stood there as judges.
By this time even Young Master Gao Jian had fully awakened and regained conscience, while Gao Tianji and Gao Ruo seemed to be attending a funeral…
