"Isn't that too exaggerated?"
"It must be Tuo, how can there be such delicious noodles in the world?"
"It's fake. It's 100% fake. I've long heard that there is an inside story about the King of Chefs in the Xinghai King of Kitchen Competition. This guy must be the unofficial King of Chefs."
"Their expressions don't look like acting."
"Did you find a professional actor?"
"..."
In major live broadcast rooms.
Every live broadcast audience didn't believe it.
Even with the explanations from some viewers who have seen Li Heng's knife skills, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot change everyone's general opinion.
In their opinion, how could there be such delicious noodles in the world?
"These audience members must be actors!"
"Look at the expressions of those judges."
"Damn, that's so exaggerated!"
"..."
On the judges' bench, the six judges exclaimed in unison.
"tasty!"
In an instant, the scene was shocked.
Those are just a few spectators. As master chefs, they have never tasted any delicious food, so why are they making such a fuss about it?
When the host saw this, he quickly smoothed things over.
"Several masters shouted in unison that it tastes delicious, so please ask the six judges and teachers to give your scores."
Score?
They suddenly woke up.
They were instantly reminded of their mission.
Several people looked at each other silently.
Everyone started scoring.
At this time, the four spectators had already scored, all ten points.
It's also hard for them to score too low.
The host looked at their scores and read them loudly.
"The six judges and teachers scored 8.7 points, 9.8 points, 8.9 points, 8.9 points, 9.0 points, and 8.7 points respectively."
"Excluding the highest score and the lowest score, the final score of 18 contestants Li Heng was 9.41 points"
"Currently contestant No. 18 Li Heng is ranked third, congratulations!"
After the host finished speaking, the scene exploded!
Especially the four taste testers who received perfect scores cursed with indignation.
"They gave false scores, they cheated!"
"What a bullshit judge. He exclaims that it tastes delicious, but then gives points against his will."
"What master? They're just a bunch of shit."
They scolded me harshly.
But it is difficult for ordinary viewers to empathize.
After all, they had never eaten noodles made by Li Heng. Many people even thought that the judges were quite fair, but the expressions of the four taste testers were too exaggerated and weird.
It is even suspected that they are the fakers.
The audience's doubts made the four tasters furious. They argued with each other, but found that it was difficult for them to defeat the four hands with two fists, and they became red-eyed for a while.
However, the farce soon ended with another exclamation from the judges.
Only five of the six judges were heard exclaiming with orgasmic expressions on their faces.
"So delicious!"
When everyone saw this, they were already used to it. They even suspected that these judges were making too much fuss.
But the newly selected taste testers were much calmer.
Although the food of contestant No. 1 was delicious, it was not to the point of exclaiming. It can only be said that it was delicious, but not to the point of affecting the mood.
However, they rarely eat such delicious dishes, so they all gave it a high score of 9 points.
"Congratulations to contestant No. 1 Dou Yunsheng for his final score of 9.8 points and currently ranking first!"
Another half hour passed.
The game is coming to an end.
When the last contestant was given a score of 5.7, the preliminaries were completely over.
Everyone is waiting for the host to read out the list of candidates who have passed the preliminaries.
Hundreds of people took part in the competition, but most of them came just to show off, and only less than one-tenth of the contestants could advance.
Among more than 400 people, only more than 30 people were admitted to the preliminary round.
After the preliminary round, only three people will enter the finals. In the finals, the top three will be selected, and the game will end at this point.
The preliminaries will take one day, and the preliminary rounds and finals will be held tomorrow, taking a total of two days. For such a small event that is not widely spread, two days is a lot of time.
Li Heng stood in front of the stove, waiting nervously.
He is actually not worried about whether he can pass the preliminaries. He mainly wants to test whether participating in the competition can improve his cooking proficiency.
Time passes bit by bit.
Finally, the host got the final list.
He read loudly:
"The number of participants this time is 438, and the number of people who entered the preliminary round is 38. The best will be selected to advance. The following is the list of those who passed the preliminary round."
"Dou Yunsheng, Hua Ling, Qian Guoqiang..."
"...Li Heng..."
Among the 38 people, Li Heng ranked 18th, the same number as him.
The name was neither high nor low, so it didn't cause too much trouble. After all, it was impossible for everyone to eat the food he cooked.
Only the four tasters who ate the noodles he made were filled with indignation and stared at the people on the judges' table with angry faces.
Li Heng also looked at the judges with cold eyes.
"Congratulations to the above fifty contestants for passing the preliminaries. The preliminary and final rounds will be held together tomorrow. Please go back and prepare yourself. The real chef king will be selected by then. Please wait and see."
After the host finished speaking, the music started to play, and a group of girls with bulging fronts and backs handed out invitation letters to the fifty chefs who had passed the preliminaries.
The next moment Li Heng accepted the invitation, the system's voice finally sounded in his mind.
[Ding, you passed the preliminaries of the Xinghai Chef King Competition, and your cooking proficiency is +100. ]
[Ding, you have become famous on the Internet because of your magical knife skills.
Your popularity has increased, and you have gained a lot of reputation points, which are continuing to increase.
At the same time, you have gained the attention of the culinary world, and your status in the culinary world has improved.
Your current rank is: Chef Soldier 1 star. ]
[Ding, the reputation field interface is opened. ]
[Ding, you have opened the cooking field interface, and your current level in the cooking field is: Kitchen Soldier 1 star. ]
"Check the 1-star attribute of the kitchen soldier."
The next moment, the attributes of the kitchen soldier appeared in his eyes.
Kitchen Soldier 1 Star: You have emerged in the culinary world and gained the attention of the culinary world. You have become a slightly famous chef.
Effect: Gain 100 reputation points every day.
At this moment, the host's voice sounded again.
"This is the end of the preliminaries of the Star Sea Contest. Please exit in an orderly manner. See you tomorrow!"
As the sound of music sounded, the audience slowly left the convention and exhibition center amid waves of discussion and with security maintaining order.
Li Heng was quite excited. He didn't expect that he would get so much attention just after he came to participate in this competition and passed the preliminaries.
He looked at his reputation points and found that he had gained tens of thousands in just a short time.
Sure enough, the fastest way to increase your reputation is to get traffic.
However, what pleased him most was not this, but that he had discovered a way to make money.
Kitchen soldier 1 star!
He attracted the attention of the culinary world, improved his status in the culinary world, and was able to obtain a cooking rank, which also had the effect of automatically increasing his reputation points every day.
If there are a hundred such titles, the daily guarantee is 10,000 reputations.
Not only that, this position can also be improved.
With his own cooking skills, how could a mere cooking soldier be worthy of him?
I wonder if the kitchen soldiers can be upgraded to win the King of Kitchen Championship?
Or how many levels can it be upgraded to?
Li Heng was very much looking forward to it, and even his steps became much more brisk.
However, he did not wait for him to leave the venue.
A group of people gathered around.
