The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 397: Continental Cooking Competition
According to the favorite naming method of the people loyal to Attilan in the Atlantis Empire today, this child who fits the Gourmet Star was named Liu Qinglong by his parents!

Attilan gave the task of establishing the Gourmet Association to the bear man.

Because this is not a difficult task, anyone can establish an association as long as they get official approval from the empire.

The difficulty lies in gaining recognition for this association from the people of the empire.

It is not an association established by just any random person, but when people hear the name of the association, they will feel deep respect from the bottom of their hearts.

The status of the Gourmet Association requires at least one legendary Ice and Fire Magic Chef to establish it.

And Liu Qinglong is exactly the founder that Attilan needs.

Of course, Attilan prepared eight legendary kitchen utensils.

Attilan also plans to cultivate eight seeds like Liu Qinglong.

Competition brings progress.

Moreover, their competition for the legendary kitchen utensils could just stir up the popularity of divine cuisine on the continent.

According to legend, eating this divine dish made with eight legendary utensils can extend one's lifespan by 500 years and grant one the power to break through legends.

Who wouldn’t be moved after hearing this?

Of course, only a chef who is good enough can make divine food.

Legend has it that kitchen utensils and food stars naturally exert corresponding powers, but more of it is actually the power possessed by the cook himself.

If the chef is not strong enough, he will not be able to use the eight legendary kitchen utensils at the same time.

Those who can use the eight legendary kitchen utensils to cook divine food can actually cook divine food without the eight legendary kitchen utensils, but the effects of prolonging life and assisting in breaking through the legend are not as good.

After all, the eight legendary kitchen utensils are not real artifacts. They can only be regarded as projections of the eight artifacts that are still in the making of the God of Food. The God's cuisine is more about reputation than strength.

However, holding the eight legendary kitchen utensils for a long time can indeed help the chef comprehend the power of the food star and increase the possibility of condensing the divinity of food.

The odds are roughly increasing from 0.00001 to 0.0001.

The low probability is not important. What is important is that the legendary kitchen utensils can guide the Ice and Fire Magic Chef in the direction of progress.

Compared to warriors and mages, which have been honed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, the training system of the Ice and Fire Magic Chef is very immature.

Compared to a basic profession, the Ice and Fire Magic Chef is more like an advanced profession for level 5 warriors and level 5 wizards to switch to.

Because when Attilan created this profession, his strength was already very high. If he wanted him to think from the perspective of an ordinary person with no professional level, how should an ordinary person become an Ice and Fire Magic Chef?

The solution Attilan came up with would have flaws.

In the current Attilan, if you ask him to create the secret technique needed to break through the legend of a level 20 Ice and Fire Magic Chef, or the secret technique needed to condense the divinity of food, he can tell you clearly.

However, in order to perfect the Ice and Fire Magic Chef profession, he needs the Gourmet Association to gather enough chefs to think together.

After Xiong Nan made the eight legendary kitchen utensils, he took a boat westward to Qinglin City as planned.

Qinglin City, as the node where the western water veins converge, gathers merchants and professionals from most parts of the continent.

Through water veins and ships, these people will quickly spread the news of the establishment of the Eight Legendary Cookware and the Gourmet Association throughout the continent.

Sure enough, when the bear man brought eight jeweled magic kitchen utensils and did not hide his true colors, he set up a stall on the street and started cooking.

It quickly attracted the attention of a large number of businessmen and professionals.

Among the attracted crowd, there happened to be two outstanding Ice and Fire Magic Chefs with excellent eyesight, who discovered how much help the legendary kitchen utensils could provide to the Ice and Fire Magic Chefs.

One of them, a burly man carrying a sharp knife that was more than 1.5 meters long and 50 centimeters wide, walked up to the bear man.

"Would you like to sell this knife?"

The bear man smiled and waved his hand and said:
"No, but if you want to try the food made with this knife, I can make you one for free."

The strong man frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said:

"Well, if this knife is wasted in your hands, I..."

The bear man interrupted him and said:

"I'll give the knife to a chef who can better utilize its power!"

The Strong Man is a former blacksmith from the Northland Kingdom who loves to eat.

But after living for thirty years, he had never met a chef who could satisfy his appetite.

It wasn't until Attilan announced the training method of the Ice and Fire Magic Chef that the strong man had an idea: why didn't he become a chef himself?

After all, he often felt that the food he cooked tasted better than those made by those chefs.

Now he has become a magic chef and can master the power of ice and fire. He can not only cook, but also fight.

Becoming a magic chef seems to have more prospects than being a blacksmith in a small town?
Then the strong man used all the remaining good iron in the blacksmith shop to make himself a door panel knife as equipment, and then went out.

The door panel knife can be used for attack, defense, cutting meat, and cutting people.

Less than five years after he left home, the strong man became a famous ice and fire magic chef in the western part of the continent.

It is called the Demonic Bull Slayer of the North!
He wielded the door panel knife and directly cut a mad demon bull into pieces of appropriate size. The demon bull was more than four meters tall at the shoulder and lowered its head to knock down the city wall.

He cut it into pieces with a knife, made it into barbecue and shared it with everyone.

In addition, he was born in the North, so he was called the Northern Demon Bull Slayer!

When the bear man gets serious, he does have some talent for cooking.

With eight legendary kitchen utensils and the power of the Gourmet Star, his cooking level is also at the upper-special level.

When the Northern Demon Bull Slayer tasted the beef dish made by the bear man, his eyes widened instantly.

"So tender! So fresh! As I chewed, I felt like a calf was running in my mouth."

The sturdy man nodded heavily.

"It's really amazing! I recognize you."

The other cook is a female pirate from the Southern Islands.

Born with an eye disease, she restored her eyesight and even awakened her talent through the food prepared by the Ice and Fire Magic Chef.

Her golden eyes can perfectly remember the movements of others and coordinate them into more perfect movements, overwhelming the enemy.

It is called the golden ratio harmony.

By observing the bear man's movements, she actually found several problematic areas, but after thinking about it carefully for a long time, she found that she had no way to optimize the bear man's movements.

She looked at the kitchen utensils glowing and warming in the bear man's hands, and immediately understood.

"Your cooking skills are only possible with the help of these utensils. Without them, your skills cannot be compared with ours."

The bear man did not argue, but turned the kitchen knife in his hand and handed it to the female pirate.

"You can try it."

The female pirate reached out and took the kitchen knife. The knife, which was still emitting blue light, instantly became ordinary in her hand.

No matter how much magic power she injected, she couldn't make the kitchen knife glow.

There is no spiritual imprint of the bear man in the kitchen knife. Theoretically, this magic kitchen utensil has no owner. As long as the conditions are met, anyone can stimulate its power.

She didn't inspire any magical aura, so that means she's not good enough? !
How could she, with her perfect harmony of golden ratio and the most outstanding magic chef in the southern continent, not be recognized by a pair of kitchen utensils?

She frowned and asked in a cold tone:

"Is your kitchen knife broken?"

"Broken? Let me take a look."

As soon as the bear man took the kitchen knife, it began to emit blue light.

He smiled and waved the kitchen knife.

"It's not that bad."

The sturdy man curiously stretched out his hand and asked, "Can I take a look too?"

The bear man directly handed over the kitchen knife. The strong man held the knife and injected magic power into it. The kitchen knife emitted a blue light and then quickly went out.

"It seems that it is not broken. We just haven't reached the requirements to use this magic kitchenware yet."

As a magical chef who is good at using knives, the strong man almost got the recognition of Qinglongdao.

But now is not the time to share the control of the legendary kitchen utensils, so he can only be rejected.

Regardless of whether the Bear Man’s cooking skills are lower than theirs, the Bear Man has been recognized by the eight legendary kitchen utensils. Since they have not been recognized, the Bear Man is better than them.

He used eight legendary kitchen utensils to prepare dishes with ingredients, shared them with the audience, and told them that he would set up a food association in Qinglin City in a month.

Invite outstanding magic chefs from all over the continent to attend the gathering.

At that time, a cooking competition will be held to select the most powerful magic chef to become the president of the Gourmet Association.

No one cares about selecting the president of the Food Association through a competition.

What matters is the most powerful magic chef in the entire continent!
Everyone wants to know who will be given this title.

The sturdy man and the female pirate also cheered up and chose to compete to become the president of the Food Association, which shows that the bear man is quite confident in his cooking skills.

The two looked at each other and decided to participate in this continent-wide cooking competition.

And stay with the bear man for the time being to figure out the mystery between him and the eight legendary kitchen utensils.

One of them is now the number one chef in the West, and the other is the number one chef in the South.

They gathered in Qinglin City for only one purpose.

Let's see who has the better cooking skills among them!

As a result, before the duel even started, such an interesting thing happened in the city.

They decided to put aside the duel between the two of them for the time being and hold the duel at the Continental Cooking Competition a month later.

What does it mean that a continent-wide cooking competition will be held in Qinglin City in a month?
Neither of them is stupid, on the contrary they are very smart.

They chose Qinglin City specifically to fight, just to gain fame.

Atlantis did not specify the location of its capital, but His Majesty's palaces were built in Dajiao City and Qinglin City, which meant that the status of these two cities was destined to be higher than other cities!
If you want to hold a continent-wide cooking competition, even if the government does not interfere and allows you to hold it, where can you find a venue large enough for everyone to compete?

With so many chefs competing on the same stage, who will provide the judges and materials needed?

Even when registering for the Gourmet Association, even though they were the best in the region, when they really went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to register, they not only couldn't get in the door.

The submitted application may not even reach the hands of the Goat Man.

The bear man could walk into the prime minister's residence and go to the goat man's office with confidence.

The first sentence he spoke was:

"Please approve the application for the food association I want to run. I also need a venue to hold a cooking competition. Please find one for me."

The satyr would definitely glare at him first, and then say something impatiently.

"You didn't call me when you had the party, but you remembered me when you were doing things?"

The bear man must have been shameless enough to approach him.

The goat man had no choice but to agree and arranged for a secretary to make the arrangements for the bear man.

When the sturdy man and the female pirate were recruited by the bear man and became the first members of the Gourmet Association, they followed him straight into the Prime Minister's Mansion. The guards at the door didn't even look at them.

It already shocked them.

Then the scenes mentioned above happened, which made them even more dumbfounded.

"President, are you friends with the Prime Minister?"

The bear man naturally nodded proudly.

"Although we are not friends who grew up together, we have been friends for forty years."

They've been friends for forty years, and the bear man looks no more than thirty years old.

He looks much younger than the strong man.

The female pirate asked excitedly:

"President, have you ever drunk the water from the Fountain of Youth? Or have you ever made the immortal food mentioned in the Secret Scroll of the Ice and Fire Magic Chef?"

As a woman, it is difficult to overcome the temptation of eternal youth.

The bear man thought for a moment and said:

"It can be considered as immortality food. I should be able to make some food that can prolong life now. After the Gourmet Association is established, eight strong people will enjoy the immortality food."

"You two have to work hard."

A gleam of light flashed in the female pirate's eyes.

"President, we two are the first to come to you, you must provide us with a little help."

The female pirate looked at the bear man seductively, and the bear man said coldly:

"Just improve your cooking skills, and don't use such unpresentable things as charm."

What hasn't the bear man seen?

He has fought against succubi before, so how could a mere weather-beaten female pirate, even if she was somewhat pretty, impress him?
"You are the first one to surrender, so I will naturally provide you with some help. In two days, a batch of high-quality ingredients will be handed over to you. Use these ingredients to practice well."

"Not only can it improve your cooking skills, but eating it can also increase your strength. Your chances of making the top eight are great."

Not only the two younger brothers, but also the bear man needs to work hard to improve his cooking skills.

With his druid level and eight legendary kitchen utensils, it is not easy to control the little dragon chef.

While the bear man was discussing cooking skills with his two younger brothers, Attilan also saw the application for the Gourmet Association submitted by the bear man.

"Cook?"

The name Ice and Fire Demon Chef was abandoned by Bear Man.

The reason is that it is too long and does not sound good.

Strictly speaking, Ice and Fire Magic Chef is actually the abbreviation of Ice and Fire Magic Chef.

The bear man was directly changed into a cook.

Simple and direct, just like a warrior or a mage.

And it sounds nice.

Chef is not a low-level title, but it is a bit too common.

The word "cook" sounds a bit impressive.

The bear man's application directly teases Attilan, asking Attilan if he has a better talent for naming.

Attilan just smiled slightly, planning to deal with the bear man after he retreated.

A month passed quickly, and a crystal-like platform rose directly from the waters east of Qinglin City. It was the venue for the Continental Cooking Competition.

The Prime Minister's Office helped with publicity, and chefs from all over the mainland were invited by clerks from all over the country within a month.

Ambitious and ready to prove himself in the competition.

This is a chance to become famous.

No one expected that the first competition held after the establishment of the empire would not be a continent-wide competition such as swordplay and magic.

It turned out to be a cooking showdown.

Considering the emperor of the empire, the title of delicious food and the dragon god, it seems normal.
