[Resumption of updates in May]

In a wave of astonishment, a middle-aged man located somewhere on the deck slowly lifted his head.

He was Qiu Longfei, who had got the most votes in the All-age Group in the previous two rounds.

At this moment, Qiu Longfei was completely bewildered.

Having fewer votes than Qin Lang, the first-place winner in the Youth Group, was already outrageous enough.

What was even more bizarre was that the hosts seemed to have gotten his name wrong.

The moment Qiu Longfei had this thought, Ms. Ye Cangqing’s voice sounded again.

“Second Place, Qju Longfei, with 9742 votes.”

Qiu Longfei:

So, they didn’t misread the names?!

Qiu Longfei’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he swiftly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the person who had surpassed him, named Luo Xian.

It didn’t matter anymore that Qin Lang scored higher than he did at this moment, he sensed a more serious threat.

The prize for the All-age Group winner might not be his anymore!

However, the name Luo Xian was unfamiliar to most people present. For a while, everyone found it difficult to associate the name with the corresponding Spirit Chef.

Ms. Ye Cangqing was still announcing the ranks, yet the situation with the first-place winner of the All-age Group being replaced wouldn’t be easily smoothed over.

In the midst of everyone’s thoughts, the first day’s event concluded.

“Tomorrow and the day after are weekends. You will face a bigger challenge,” Ye Cangqing looked at everyone with a smile on her face and said, “Good luck.” After saying that, she turned and left with the other guests.

“Phew!” Qin Lang stretched and glanced at Dan Bao and Spicy who looked quite tired. So, he embraced them both and said, “You’ve worked hard today. Let’s rest together.”

“Gurulu-”

Great!

Dan Bao’s yolk-like head nodded, and besides fatigue, there was a trace of joy on its face.

The training to enhance their Combat Skills was endless. The formation of Combined Battle Skills was just one phase.

At this moment, it could clearly feel that its proficiency in thought waves had greatly improved after a day of stagnation.

“Chaka!”

I can still continue!

Spicy glanced at Dan Bao and then slightly lifted its head with a slight sense of pride.

Next to it, the light of two stars seemed to be a little brighter than before.

Star Power and Starstone can accelerate the growth of Food Spirits, but aside from these external factors, Food Spirits can also naturally grow through training.

Spicy’s workload seemed to be less than Dan Bao’s, but in a day’s work, it had been helping Qin Lang with the stir-frying of Crab Powder over and over again, exhausting its Spiritual Power each time.

This resulted in its growth being even greater than Dan Bao’s.

“That’s something for tomorrow,” Qin Lang gently patted Spicy’s little head, “Today’s event has ended.”

“To facilitate the Spirit Chefs’ rest, ‘Yueyu Cruise Ship¹ has prepared a room for the night for every Spirit Chef participating in the Leaping Fish Banquet,” Qin Lang’s face was filled with anticipation. “This is a super luxury cruise ship; the rooms they prepare wouldn’t be anything less.”

Upon hearing Qin Lang’s words, the two little ones were just as eager as him.

After a whole day of exertion, they could finally rest!

After cleaning up his stall car and leaving it on the deck, Qin Lang was quickly led to his own assigned suite by a staff member.

This was much better than the hotel he booked himself. Not only were all facilities available, but the Jumping Fish Lake under the moonlight could also be seen clearly through the window.

The moonlight was bright, Qin Lang in his pajamas, sat propped against his bed after washing up. Dan Bao and Spicy were perched on either side of him, together with him, they browsed through the news on his phone.

“I didn’t expect that just improving the crab roe fried rice would generate so much discussion.” Seeing his name mentioned in many articles related to the Leaping Fish Banquet, Qin Lang’s face revealed surprise, “No wonder business was so good in the evening.”

You could imagine, business tomorrow will probably be even better than tonight.

After all, it’s the weekend, among the guests boarding the ship there will be quite a few family groups.

After all, a family outing aligns perfectly with the Leaping Fish Banquet.

“We need to work even harder tomorrow.” Qin Lang rubbed his cheeks against the two little ones on his shoulders, feeling the ticklish sensation on both sides of his face, and smiling, “As Ms. Ye Cangqing said, tomorrow will bring an even bigger challenge.”

“Gurgle!”

“Crack!”

For the two little ones, as long as they were with Qin Lang, even the toughest challenge seemed not at all daunting.

“Besides, there’s another thing we should look out for.” Qin Lang’s gaze fell on another news item.

“Twice overturned first place? The mysterious dark horse, Luo Xian!”

This was an article introducing the Spirit Chef who ranked first in the all-age group tonight, a person called Luo Xian.

With Luo Xian becoming first in the all-age group, the attention he received suddenly skyrocketed.

Some observant people noticed from the first round’s ranking list, which didn’t include his name, an astonishing conclusion – this Spirit Chef named Luo Xian, it seems, did not participate in the morning’s first round of business.

Letting fly in one round, and then reversing to first place.

This storyline that even dramas rarely dare to plot was actually unfolding in real life, making the name Luo Xian greatly talked about.

Qin Lang remembered that after the second round of the competition, during the break, Li Hong had mentioned him. At that time, his rank was eleventh.

To get to the eleventh place with just one round and undesirable stall conditions, and then to scoop up the most on-site votes with his new ranking, surpassing the current first-place holder in the all-age group, this Spirit Chef named Luo Xian was indeed formidable.

Qin Lang had a feeling that by the end of tomorrow morning’s first round, the probability of the other party surpassing him in votes would be high.

After all, the difference in votes between the two was less than two hundred.

“He sure is a strong opponent.” Qin Lang couldn’t help murmuring, “Thankfully, I’m in the youth group, so we aren’t serious competitors.”

“As planned, during the two exchange sessions tomorrow, we’ll play the role of food guests, tasting the delicious foods from other Spirit Chefs’ stalls.” Qin Lang looked expectant, “If Luo Xian chooses to set up a stall, we’ll be able to taste his delicious food!”

Just after this, he opened another article.

It was a piece written by a media person who had happened to taste all the dishes Luo Xian served at his stall. At a time when Luo Xian was not yet on anyone’s radar, he randomly tasted those dishes, was greatly amazed, and as a result, wrote down this article.

With Luo Xian becoming famous overnight, this earliest article introducing his dishes suddenly soared in popularity, gaining a large number of likes and shares.

No doubt that media person must have been on cloud nine.

However, that’s not the point. The focus is on the three types of dishes introduced in the article, which Luo Xian presented.

Qin Lang started to read the article attentively.

The three dishes that Luo Xian served, in order of price from low to high, were Autumn Blade Lemon, Blue Spear, and Ocean Emblem…

Wait a minute…

Qin Lang raised an eyebrow.

Why do the dish names of this Spirit Chef called Luo Xian sound a bit pretentious?
