Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Meanwhile, Fang Rui and his group gradually became more irritable, and when they encountered someone trying to take advantage of the situation, they wanted to punch them...

Even those outside the venue could see the changes in Fang Rui and others' emotions through the live broadcast.

“I think… the later they appear, the greater their disadvantage will be!” Soma Yukihira said.

The low morale of Fang Rui and the others is practically overflowing the screen!

"Agreed!" Marui Zenji agreed. The judges were in a good mood at first, but one piece of garbage after another quickly dampened their spirits, turning them into anger and resentment.

"Yes, the difficulty hasn't increased at all, so it won't affect the fairness."

Isshiki Satoshi's explanation calmed the panicked hearts of the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone's tension eased, and they continued watching the live stream while thinking about what dish they should cook when they took the stage later.

On the other hand, departing participants flocked to the staff to apply for booths. Because they had been scammed so many times, Fang Rui temporarily added rules for applying for booths.

One of them is that the taste of the food must meet the qualified standard, which means that people who were previously rated as "unqualified" by Fang Rui are not eligible to apply for a stall.

Of course, they can also sell food on Delta Island if they bring their own food carts.

Fang Rui had no objection to this.

Hopefully, they can earn some money amidst the fierce competition from numerous chefs.

"I really want to know... where did these guys get the nerve to participate?! Did I fail to impose penalties that led them to believe they could act recklessly during a cooking competition?"

Fang Rui looked terrible. After experiencing terrible cooking, rice that wasn't cooked at all, and now it was burnt...

"Disrupting the normal course of the competition should indeed be punished!" Zhong Li's expression was equally unpleasant. Looking at the black charcoal block on the table, he felt an urge to gather celestial stars and smash it down on someone.

"Food is extremely important and indispensable, and culinary competitions should also be serious and sacred..."

The dragon chef spoke in a low voice. In a world where chefs hold a high status, culinary competitions are highly valued. Seeing one failed attempt after another, this dragon chef's patience was nearing its limit.

"I agree with the views of both gentlemen." Yi Long did not express any opinion, but only supported the other two, but his attitude was already very clear.

Setsuna didn't say anything, but the fact that she didn't express her opinion at this moment already showed the other party's attitude.

"From now on, if anyone wastes food or prepares inedible food..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui pointed downwards, "A freefall starting from the Sky Island awaits you."

"By the way, there's also a month-long 'unlucky package' and a 'farming package' waiting for us..."

As Fang Rui spoke, he seemed to be gritting his teeth, which showed just how angry he was.

The fact that the others did not object also indicates that they were equally angry.

Correspondingly, some contestants suddenly panicked, and viewers watching the live stream couldn't help but laugh.

The main problem was that the judges were tricked, which was really funny.

To be fair, in cooking competitions and the like, judges often get tricked.

It's not uncommon to get tricked to the point of wanting to punch someone, but when the judges are truly formidable, if you get tricked, the one who suffers... is the chef!

"Just fall down!"

As he said this, Fang Rui raised his hand and flicked it, sending the somewhat dazed person flying from the sky island towards the sea...

In the instant he threw him out, Fang Rui added some protection to the person, so he wouldn't die instantly, but a shock and injury were inevitable.

After all, he activated a lock on health, not invincibility.

The others, witnessing the horrific state of the man, were utterly terrified.

Could someone who fell from such a height survive?

The answer is that they can survive.

Looking at the screen that suddenly appeared in front of me, which showed the entire process of someone falling, I could see that when the person landed on the sea, apart from some injuries, they were indeed still alive...

However, its pitiful appearance still makes some people tremble with fear.

As for who was afraid, Fang Rui didn't explicitly state it, but everyone could guess...

Those who try to take advantage of the situation, with absolutely no culinary skills, dare to participate in the cooking competition; they are simply causing trouble.

During the subsequent competition, occasionally one or two people would fall off the floating island, their screams echoing in the air.

Seeing this, some people who had not yet taken the stage considered withdrawing from the competition, but unfortunately the staff did not agree.

These people did not care whether the staff agreed or not, and sailed away from Delta Island.

Among these people were ordinary people and pirates.

Instead of approaching Delta Island, the navy blockaded the surrounding waters, and the fleeing group fell directly into the navy's encirclement, being captured before they could even struggle...

"Don't disturb our show..." a soldier muttered as he put shackles on the pirates.

Chapter 476 Intermission

The elimination rounds didn't last long; the selection process was completed in just one day. The contestants who were eligible to advance had already done so, while those who failed to advance had no chance of advancing no matter how hard they tried.

It is quite difficult for non-qualified players to apply for a fixed booth on Delta Island, so the organizers provide them with mobile booths to sell to others at a relatively low price.

However, few people are willing to rent or sell; most prefer to put in the effort to make simple ones themselves.

As for kitchen utensils...

Whether they came on merchant ships or pirate ships, since they came to participate in a cooking competition, they naturally brought their usual cooking utensils.

Therefore, after the preliminary rounds ended, there were suddenly many people selling various foods on the island, mostly people who had been eliminated in the preliminary rounds...

A small number of them were contestants who had already advanced. After all, with so many guests, it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to make some money.

The chefs who weren't running their stalls were preparing for the upcoming competitions, as the rewards were exceptionally tempting. As long as they hadn't lost their qualification, they weren't in the mood to pay attention to anything else.

As for those who infiltrated the food storage, they fled in panic amidst the ferocious aura of the top predators, unable to reach the door that was so close at hand...

If you ask why, it's simply for theft prevention.

From the very beginning, Fang Rui had guessed that some people would take the risk, so he made corresponding preparations, waiting for certain people to walk into his trap.

As for when these people will be released...

"Let's wait until the competition is over!"

As he spoke, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the teleportation plaza. Amidst this bustling event, merchants from the other world seized the opportunity to sell all sorts of local specialties…

For example, a certain Wind God who doesn't do his job properly is currently selling alcohol near the teleportation plaza. Some of the alcohol is from his own collection, just for show, and the rest he bought from Dawn Winery...

By the way, Dawn Winery also has a stall near the teleportation plaza, selling wine as well, but business isn't as good as Wendy's...

The reason, of course, is that the wine used to set the tone was exceptionally good; after all, wine aged for hundreds of years was truly astonishing.

"It feels a bit like a trade fair."

As some people's actions have made more people realize that the break time in cooking competitions is gradually turning into a trading activity.

Fang Rui didn't seem to care much about this.

The main purpose of the chef competition is to find a dedicated chef who is willing to accompany the tour group, even if the trade fair steals the spotlight.

As long as a chef can be found, it's a success!

With that in mind, Fang Rui had no intention of attending the trade fair, since he had nothing he wanted to buy or sell.

The rest of the people, including Orpheus and Red, were quite interested in browsing the trade fair for a while.

As for the DXD world, very few people came to Delta Island, probably because Sazex kept it a secret.

Fang Rui was very satisfied with this, which showed that Sazex had indeed perfectly completed the task he had entrusted to him.

The power structure in the DXD world is too complex; allowing them to enter the World Alliance would cause many problems...

Then, Fang Rui turned his gaze to another direction, where the boundless ocean was azure blue.

Within Fang Rui's field of vision, he could clearly see a fleet of warships, forming an impenetrable wall that blocked Delta Island. Fang Rui could guess Sakazuki's intentions.

He didn't try to stop the other person. In this day and age, most people in the world are pirates who do evil, but those who use the name "pirate" but actually do the things of adventurers are a minority...

Therefore, Fang Rui had no objection to the Navy's intention to use this opportunity to arrest the participants.

The companions he hoped for, regardless of their culinary skills, should at least be good people.

The second round of the competition was held a day later, and the topic was fish dishes.

"Let me think, what can I do in a day?"

Fang Rui looked thoughtful. Most of his acquaintances had already gathered on Delta Island to travel to other worlds, and he had no friends to accompany him.

Heading to the new world, you might not get to do anything in a day.

Since that's the case, let's play around with it in the current world!

With this thought in mind, Fang Rui cast his gaze toward a certain area in the distance.

After the World Government was overthrown, Monkey D. Dragon led a group that hunted down the CP organization and certain individuals who were loyal followers of the previous regime.

If it's not cleaned properly, it will be a very troublesome thing.

After all, there has always been a force causing trouble, which is a terrible thing no matter how you look at it.

However, the world is so big that it is difficult to find certain people, especially those who know every corner of the world and can always evade the navy's search.

But today, these people have other ideas. Instead of fleeing everywhere, they are gathering their companions and converging near Delta Island...

"What are they trying to do? Are they trying to cripple the navy?!"

Fang Rui's tone was strange; lacking relevant information, it was difficult for him to guess what the other party was thinking.

The only thing they knew was that the other party had ill intentions.

However, they had no idea what the other party was planning to do. They could either defeat and capture them before they could make a move, or wait and see what the other party was up to...

If it were Sakazuki and his ilk, they might choose the first option: to capture the enemy as quickly as possible and prevent them from causing trouble.

If it were Fang Rui instead, he would choose the second option. With his abilities, he could handle any unexpected situation in time and avoid injuring the guests.

Besides, there's more than one troublemaker on the island; they can even prevent an explosion that could blow Delta Island away.

Everything will be alright...

"Hmm! Let's add an insurance policy!"
