[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

"I wonder, Mr. Villette, are you familiar with a magical creature that lives in the Fontainebleau Sea, the Yoyo sea otter?"

"Of course I've heard of them. They're said to be related to weasels on land, and are gentle and lazy, making them very cute creatures."

Chao Ke echoed, "Yes."

“These sea otters are indeed adorable creatures, and they live a very leisurely life.”

"It is said that a single large meal can keep them full for a long time, allowing them to go without having to hunt for food for several days in a row. They live a blissful life of eating one day and resting three days in a row."

“I think this kind of life would be the envy of many working people in Fontaine.”

Navelette nodded slightly, agreeing with Chao Ke's information, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

“Mr. Chao Ke, I roughly understand what you mean. You want to decorate this drink cup with the image of a sea otter.”

"But there's one thing I don't understand. Why did you specifically tell me this idea?"

Chao Ke paused for a moment, controlled his expression, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"Because I think Mr. Navelette looks somewhat like a Yo-Yo otter, I want to add some of your clothing elements to the Yo-Yo otter pattern that's affixed to the cup."

"That's why I came here specifically to ask for your opinion."

Navelette: "?"

While the Supreme Judge was still in a daze, Funina next to him had already started laughing loudly!

"Haha! That Vilette! The leisurely sea otter! Haha!"

"Now that you mention it, I realize they really do look somewhat alike!"

"How about we name the otter logo that endorses [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] 'Naweilai Otter'?"

Hearing Funina's teasing, Violet felt a little strange.

This scene seemed somewhat familiar; it was as if Violet had seen it somewhere before.

I remembered.

On one occasion, Navigette and Frynn attended a trial together at the Aubigail Opera.

As they walked toward Moje Station, the two discovered a Fontaine who had named his pet cat "Funina".

At that moment, Villette couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Subsequently, Fontaine enacted a new law prohibiting the naming of pets "Furina".

Looking back now, I think Fulina probably remembered me back then too.

So much so that they suddenly retaliated at this moment...

After Funina finished laughing, Vilette cleared her throat and offered her opinion.

“Mr. Chao Ke, I understand your thinking. Adding my clothing elements to a sea otter, while not violating any of Fontaine's laws, but…”

"I still think it's somewhat... not quite right."

Upon hearing this, Chao Ke gestured for Navelette to pause for a moment.

“Mr. Navelette, I have several other kinds of fine water here that I would like you, a connoisseur of water, to taste and appreciate.”

"Oh?"

A glint of light flashed in Villette's eyes.

Clearly, he was already looking forward to it.

Chao Ke got up and went to the restaurant's back kitchen. He picked up a few clean beverage cups and poured Navelette some high-quality water provided by the system's [Ingredient Supply Area].

[Glacier Water], [Mineral Spring], [Oasis Dew], [Boiling Rock Pool]...

Chao Ke filled seven beverage cups with this rare and high-quality water, which has a distinctive local flavor.

When Chao Ke presented these items to Navelette, he could clearly sense a glint in Navelette's eyes.

Navelette wore an expression of utter enjoyment, savoring the fine water in her glass with each sip, oblivious to the changes in the outside world that she was using her other senses to perceive.

Seeing this, Chao Ke simply started talking to Funina, who was standing next to him.

As Chao Ke and Fu Fu chatted merrily and their conversation grew increasingly heated, Na Vilet slowly opened her eyes, waking up from the allure of the various kinds of wonderful water.

"Mr. Chao Ke, I think we can discuss the image licensing issue we just discussed."

"Oh?"

Chao Ke smiled and said, "It's my honor, Mr. Na Vilette."

Ultimately, Chao Ke successfully finalized an image licensing agreement and a special water supply agreement with Navelette.

The image licensing agreement specifies in detail the scope of costumes that Chao Ke can imitate, and that he cannot make any publicity or guidance that is detrimental to Fontaine or Navilette personally; otherwise, Navilette may revoke this license at any time.

The special water supply agreement stipulated that during the period when the image authorization agreement was in effect, Navelite could send personnel to the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] at any time to purchase various high-quality water (plus refreshing flower-shaped jelly) at an extremely low price, but Navelite was not allowed to use the purchased water and materials for commercial purposes.

On this draft written with pen and paper, both Chao Ke and Navelette signed their names, while the Water Demon Goddess Funina, as a witness to this cooperation, also signed her name on the contract.

Chao Ke carefully put away the cooperation agreement in his hand.

I'll tidy this up and frame it to hang in the dining room later.

Even if the law enforcement officers came, they would probably be confused and wonder if the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] was really under the control of the Fontaine government.

...

As night deepened, the three, who had gotten along quite well, came to an end to their meeting.

Through this meeting, Chao Ke not only got to see the vibrant Navelette, but also confirmed the "person" to be the spokesperson for the restaurant's drinks.

Fufu, on the other hand, gained a definite waiting time and someone to confide in through this meeting.

As for Navelette, she not only personally assessed the threat posed by Chaoke, but also tasted purified water from various origins and of extremely high quality, and established a stable supply channel.

It can be described as a win-win-win situation.

Chapter 158 The Eve of the Finals

The next morning, while it was still barely light, the sky was still dark.

But outside the Opiclie Opera House, there were already people around.

The staff of the 【Fontaine Catering Industry Alliance】 built three beautifully designed kitchens around Lujingquan for the final round of this food competition.

As the sun gradually rises, more and more people gather here.

There were professional reporters from major newspapers; specially invited judges; and a bustling crowd of Fontainebleau residents who came to join in the fun.

On the Navia Line, a patrol boat traveling from Fontaine to Moje Station.

Looking at Louise, who was even more nervous than herself, she smiled at Ke and teased her a few times.

Chao Ke understood why Louise was so nervous.

The second round of food competitions just ended the day before yesterday.

Ruger's father then mobilized the media.

Despite extensive hype, [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] lost twice to [Lu Ge Restaurant], with all its popular items being surpassed.

At the same time, he also opened a trial operation for his son's restaurant, "Luger Restaurant," and invited several well-known food critics to the restaurant for a tasting.

Without exception, these renowned food critics gave it extremely high praise and published these positive reviews in newspapers large and small.

Apart from the most influential newspaper, Steambird, which maintained its independent viewpoint and did not blindly follow suit, almost all the newspapers in Fontainebleau participated in this marketing extravaganza.

Although many newspapers were not under the jurisdiction of Ruger's father, they were happy to do him this favor and build up some goodwill.

Therefore, [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] is in a very unfavorable position in terms of public opinion over the past two days.

If we lose to [Luger's Restaurant] again today, I'm afraid...

This could cause a huge problem.

...

The patrol boat arrived at Mojie Station.

Thanks to Chao Ke's encouragement along the way, Louise's tense expression eased considerably.

The evaluation site.

Amid cheers from onlookers and flashing lights from media reporters, Chao Ke strode confidently onto the field.

To Chao Ke's surprise, he was the first contestant to arrive.

Sitting in his seat, Chao Ke smiled helplessly.

Looking at the countless tabloid reporters at the scene, and the constant flashing of camera flashes.

Chao Ke knew that tomorrow's newspapers would inevitably feature a lot of criticism of him.

Keywords like "young junior," "impulsive," and "fearful because of the appearance of [Luger Restaurant]" will probably be heavily attributed to Chao Ke.

Chao Ke never doubted the professional ethics of these tabloids in Fontainebleau, because these things never even existed.

Even their newspaper publishing permits may not have been approved by the Mo Mang Palace.

For example, there's the Seven Nations Post, which spread the rumor that Navelette was the only male Melousin.

Their newspaper's publishing license was rejected by the Mo Mang Palace 23 times in a row, setting a record for the highest number of rejections.

Just now, their reporter was the one taking the most photos.

Following closely behind was the "Amazing" newspaper, which had been taken over by my older sister.

They are truly a pair of brilliant and talented individuals...

About a minute or two after Chao Ke entered, the head chef of the De Bo Hotel also came out from the crowd.

After greeting the onlookers, the head chef sat down next to Chao Ke.

Good morning, young friend. Have a wonderful day.

The head chef, now in his middle age, greeted Chao Ke with a warm smile.

"Thanks, bro. Have a nice day too."
