“The ten-day Dongxia City Cooking Competition has officially drawn to a close!”
“Let us give a warm round of applause and cheers to invite the top four contestants onto the stage!”
“Next, we will commence with the rewarding process of the ranking competition!”
On-site, the host began with a high-spirited voice.
In the audience seats, the cheer burst like thunder, echoing his voice.
“Participants ranking from the fifth to the eighth will receive 20 cooking competition points and the title of an ‘Excellent Chef’!”
With the host’s speech ending, the four contestants who were seated in the audience and watching the ranking competition all exhibited envious expressions towards the four people in the arena.
Although they too received considerable rewards, the final glory did not belong to them.
“The fourth place in this competition goes to???? ”
“Contestant Zhu Ming!”
“She will be rewarded 50 cooking competition points along with the ‘Excellent Chef’ title!”
Amid the suddenly escalating cheers and applause from the crowd, Zhu Ming waved towards the audience, turned around, and walked up to the fourth podium which had already been set up behind her.
A rich Star Power gathered from the sky, rushing toward her quickly after she settled down.
That is the Star Power for the fourth place in the city-level competition.
“The third place in this competition goes to ”
“Contestant Tang Xie!”
“He will also be rewarded 50 cooking competition points, the ‘Excellent Chef’ title, and in addition, he will receive two pieces of Starstone!”
Tang Xie moved in response, striding quickly to the third podium, and an even stronger Star Power went straight to him right after.
“The second place in this competition goes to???? ”
“Contestant Lei Ke!”
“As Lei Ke already holds the ‘Excellent Chef’ title, he will be awarded 50 cooking competition points!”
Lei Ke quickly positioned himself on the second podium, bathed in the Star Power, and couldn’t help but glance at the first podium that remained vacant.
The atmosphere in the arena seemed to freeze at this moment.
All eyes were focused on the only young figure next to the host who had not yet stepped onto the award podium.
“The winner of this competition is ”
This time, the host prolonged his speech a bit further, and the voice that exploded after the pause reached an unprecedented height.
“Contestant Qin Lang!”
“With the warmest applause and cheers, let’s congratulate him on winning the championship!”
“He will be awarded 100 competition points, the title of ‘Excellent Chef’, four pieces of Starstone, and the ‘Second-Level Food Recommender Badge’ bestowed by Mr. Li Yuantu!”
In the midst of cheers that almost overturned the competition venue, Qin Lang turned around, and in the gaze of the other three, he walked step by step up to his rightful position.
“Gurgle!”
We won the championship!
Excitement and anticipation crossed Dan Bao’s yolky little face.
“Squawk!”
Spicy blinked its eyes. Although it was not quite clear about the meaning of becoming the champion, it showed a smile along with Dan Bao.
But this smile quickly turned into a surprise.
This was because it found itself involuntarily flying towards that bright light in the sky.
Not until the stars surrounding itself touched the Star Power of the champion, did the surprised expression on Spicy’s face gradually turn into one of delight.
What kind of power is this?
It felt like it had grown a lot in an instant!
“Gurgle-”
Dan Bao, who was on the side, dispelling the Thought Waves chuckled silently.
All this star power went to Spicy as an apology.
Patting the two Food Spirits, Qin Lang took a deep breath and waved vigorously towards the crowded audience seats.
“Next, we invite the deputy chairman of the Dongxia City Spirit Chef Association, and second-level Food Recommender from Dongxia City, Mr. Li Yuantu, to present the awards to the top-four competitors in this event!”
Amidst the warm applause, a well-built middle-aged man with distinct facial features slowly advanced to the awards’ podium.
This deputy chairman, who had been absent after the opening remarks, was now looking at the four in the field with a gratified gaze, and then slowly walking towards Qin Lang.
“Congratulations on your excellent of achieving first place.” Li Yuantu softly opened his voice, then took a badge from his breast, his expression becoming more solemn.
“My Food Recommender badge is named the Distant Light badge!”
“1 hope that you will hold this badge, and in the not-too-distant future, you will shine with your own light.”
“Thank you, Mr. Li Yuantu!” Qin Lang spoke loudly, then received the badge with both hands.
The Distant Light badge is a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge.
The edge structure of this badge is more complicated than the first-level Food Recommender Badge, and it’s not made of bronze but crafted from pure silver.
On the front of the badge, half of a red sun is hidden behind the sea, and the other half shines upon the sea surface. It is like a ship’s rudder, moving forward toward the rising direction of the sun.
Gazing at the exquisite and beautiful badge, Qin Lang’s eyes lit up.
This was the first Second-Level Food Recommender Badge he had ever received, and its symbol was quite suitable for him.
He carefully placed the badge above the three first-level Food Recommender Badges that were already arranged in a line on his chest. Afterward, he slightly bent over so that Li Yuantu put the gold medal for the champion around his neck.
Lei Ke on the side was watching somewhat enviously.
He thought that the Distant Light Badge should have been his.
The light of fighting spirit flickered in his eyes.
The threshold set by Mr. Li Yuantu was to have two second-level Food Recommender Badges, but not all second-level Food Recommenders had the same threshold.
Of course, there are also Food Recommenders with relatively low thresholds for examination.
Next, he will find a way to get another Second-Level Food Recommender Badge, and then return here to get the one belonging to Li Yuantu!
Seeing Li Yuantu, who finished awarding Qin Lang, walking towards him, Lei Ke slightly bows so the other can place the silver medal for second place around his neck.
Standing upright again, Lei Ke looked into Li Yuantu’s eyes: “Mr. Li Yuantu, after I have collected two Second-Level Food Recommender Badges, 1 will visit you once again.”
“I won’t give up on the Distant Light Badge!”
“Oh?” Li Yuantu smiled, “I’m very welcome and looking forward to it.”
After that, Li Yuantu turned to Tang Xie and Zhu Ming on the side and presented them with the medals for the third and fourth places.
The cooking competition points and the title of Excellent Chef are not awarded on the spot. Instead, they are conferred through the backstage of the Spirit Chef Association immediately after the competition ends.
Thus, after Li Yuantu’s award ceremony, the two outstanding trainers re-emerged on stage.
They brought the Starstones belonging to the first and third places. In total, six pieces!
As for the Starstones of the second and fourth places, they were already awarded during the previous competition stages.
Qin Lang took out four Starstones from the alloy box, looked at Dan Bao and Spicy, and thoughtfully considered.
Before, when there was only one Food Spirit, of course, everything belonged to Dan Bao.
Now he has two Food Spirits, and the issue of how to distribute arises.
