Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Hehe, nonsense! My name is Liu Maoxing... Wait! What did you say your name is..." Liu Maoxing said in surprise.

Liu Maoxing doesn't think his name is very cool, at least it is much worse than Long Aotian, Zhao Ritian, Ye Liangchen and the like, but in this world, it seems that only those who have the same name as him and will appear here at this time bit...

"You are Liu Maoxing? That...long chef who disappeared a hundred years ago?"

Liu Maoxing has met several dragon chefs, and even met the world's first dragon chef, even before he entered his "heart" in a daze, he was still fighting a dragon chef.

But the meaning of the word "Liu Maoxing" is completely different from that of "ordinary" Long Chef...

Well, I often deal with the first dragon chef from 7,000 years ago. Now in Liu Maoxing's heart, the legendary dragon chef in the culinary world can be divided into ordinary and special.

The other "Liu Maoxing", I don't know if he recalled something after hearing Liu Maoxing's words, or he was giving the young man in front of him a time to accept, so he didn't speak quietly at this time...

"Do you know that after your death...disappeared, the Liu family will be separated?"

"..."

"Do you know that your prophecy has been interpreted in several ways?"

"..."

"I heard that it was Lan Feihong who accompanied you on the last journey. Did you have any breakthrough in your final relationship?"

"... Are you sure this is what you want to ask?" Guangying couldn't help but interrupted.

"Ahem, let me ask why you are here first." Liu Maoxing said.

"Do you understand what your system is?" A voice came from the light and shadow, and asked Liu Maoxing instead.

"Is... you programmed it?"

"Programming? No, to be precise, I sealed my power into a system."

The word "system" also exists in ancient Chinese, but in modern Chinese, the meaning is more diversified. It seems that "Liu Maoxing" more than a hundred years ago is also familiar with the meaning of system.

"So?" Liu Maoxing seemed to have thought of something, but he asked again as if confirming.

"Back then, Master Xu Ling divided half of the blessings of all ingredients in the world to me, which gave me a lot of wonderful skills..."

Well, those that can't be used for cooking belong to the category of strange and obscene skills, there is nothing wrong with them.

"She also told me about the cause and effect of the cataclysm, and asked me to seal another 'Jade Dragon Pot' with her, so I sent it to another similar world as the carrier of all my cooking skills and remnants , when the cataclysm is approaching again, the successor I have chosen will bring my skills back together with the 'Jade Dragon Pot'..."

"Wait! Since you can make Yulongguo appear in the 'different world', why didn't you just send them both away? Why did you send them back?" Liu Maoxing asked puzzled.

"It's not that simple, even if it's not in one world, when the 'catastrophe' comes, the Jade Dragon Pot will be summoned, and it may also affect another world, and neither the 'Yulong Pot' nor I have actually reached other worlds , just in the diaphragm between the worlds... what I did was to 'fish' you out of another world." Guangying said.

After listening to "Liu Maoxing"'s explanation, Liu Maoxing finally understood the cause and effect surrounding the "Dragon Pattern Jade Dragon Pot"!

More than a hundred years ago, "Liu Maoxing", whose culinary skills had reached a superb level, after receiving "half blessing", deciphered all the recipes he saw and heard, and also had his own strong enemy, the leader of the dark cooking world. The other four super-perceptions of the bosses, and he sealed all of them together with the "Dragon Jade Dragon Pot".

Through a method that seems to be forced to set cause and effect, Liu Maoxing returned to this world with this seal, and the way to gradually unlock this seal is to taste other dishes...

It has to be said that the blessings that Linger received are truly unique, even if it is half, it is probably more than the blessings received by the few dragon chefs that Linger taught!

Liu Maoxing’s previous suspicions of “unreliability” and the worry that he would be caught by other dragon chefs before he reached the super five-star level and the seal was completely released, actually did not exist at all!

Because as long as you have tasted Linger's sixty dishes covering all aspects, the "seal" can be completely lifted.

And Liu Maoxing's own remnant soul is actually included in the seal, just like Liu Maoxing copied the "heart of cooking" of the fourth house, and it will appear to be himself.

Because "Liu Maoxing" has received half of Linger's blessing, he has similar power to Linger. As long as Liu Maoxing copies the kitchen heart incarnated by "Linger", the remnant soul of "Liu Maoxing" will appear instead of Linger's mirror image!

And the sun kitchen heart that charged him is also a by-product of the super sensory...

Although Liu Maoxing tried his best to master the "sun" cooking heart, but even without that desperate effort to save Erina, thinking about it, as long as he has super five senses, it is only a matter of time to awaken the "sun" cooking heart.

Ling'er might watch the seventh Long Chef appear instead of enhancing Liu Maoxing's culinary skills?

And if Liu Maoxing awakened "Super Vision", would he not copy it with a thigh-level chef's heart like "Ling'er"?

Therefore, the seal of "Liu Maoxing" is far more thoughtful than others imagined!

From the unblocking of the "Jade Dragon Pot" to the reappearance of himself, although he was not aware of it during the period, this "system" predicted all the actions of his successor and Ling'er. Once done, everything is within the plan of "Liu Maoxing", and the chance of accidents is very small.

At this time, Liu Maoxing was obviously on guard. Although he trusted the character of this famous chef from a hundred years ago, thinking of his careful planning and completely anticipating his and Linger's behavior, Liu Maoxing did not. It's a little uncomfortable... Besides, after all, a hundred years have passed, who knows if he will be abnormal if he is kept in the seal?

"If I hadn't copied Sigong's 'Cooking Heart' before, what would have happened just now?" Liu Maoxing asked suddenly.

If it is said that the other party expected that "Sigong, a chef from an island country in a hundred years later, will have the heart of cooking, and will be copied by his heirs later", Liu Maoxing said that it is a bit far-fetched...

"If the process just now is not terminated, the personal emotional part of your soul will disappear, and my remnant soul belongs to this part, and since it has reached this point, I believe that in your soul, I have already been sealed in the system All the skills of..."

"So it's like you borrowed my body to be resurrected?" Liu Maoxing said angrily.

At the same time, I also understood what the other party meant by the remnant soul.

Probably in the structure of the soul, IQ and EQ are also separated. Still using the system metaphor, the part of IQ is like the D drive for software, the E drive for files, and the F drive for educational films... and the part of EQ is the It looks like the C drive where the operating system is installed!

The previous seal of "Liu Maoxing" is like a compressed file. Now the content inside has been decompressed to D, E, and F drives, and these files also contain Trojan horses, which will force the operating system to be redone!

Fortunately, by coincidence, Liu Maoxing installed some other things in it before, backed up his original operating system, and stopped the system redo at a critical moment...

"...You are right." Guangying didn't even mean to argue.

However, this level of openness obviously cannot make Liu Maoxing calm down his prehistoric power! It's a pity that he still used this famous chef as half an idol...

Unless you are a die-hard fan like a fanatic, anyone who knows that someone is going to "redo" themselves will probably be full of anger, even if the person doing this is his idol!

And Liu Maoxing's admiration for this famous chef is only at the ordinary level, not even flesh and blood, let alone a fanatic fan.

Just when Liu Maoxing wanted to reprimand something, a voice came from the light and shadow again: "But...resurrection? So what if I am resurrected..."

Although the resolution of light and shadow is still far from enough to see the expression, even the facial features are not there yet, but from the other party's tone, Liu Maoxing can hear the coexistence of reminiscence and depression.

Indeed, his lovers, apprentices, friends... even his children and grandchildren are all gone. Although there are still descendants, they are all people he has never seen before.

If it weren't for Xie Yunlong, an odd number with a lot of people, it is estimated that there is no living person who has had direct contact with him in the world now!

And even Xie Yunlong... Will he be in a good mood when he sees the young man he knew at the beginning turn into an old pervert?

Would anyone expect such a resurrection? Maybe there will be, but Liu Maoxing asked himself, he would definitely not expect this kind of treatment of being resurrected in a hundred years.

And you must know that the dragon chef "Liu Maoxing" a hundred years ago sacrificed himself in his prime in order to seal the "Dragon Jade Dragon Pot"!

To spend so much effort just to resurrect after the vicissitudes of life?

Thinking of this, the resentment in Liu Maoxing's heart calmed down a little, at least he didn't want to go up and beat him...

"You are in response to the 'Great Cataclysm'?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"That's right, I was powerless to stop it back then, but I believe that the culinary industry will definitely usher in a golden period of development, which has already been foreshadowed before my death... I seal all the skills of the system, and I have the ability to collect external knowledge. As long as I Reborn at this time, not only will I be able to retrieve all my skills, but I will also master the culinary skills that I missed in the past hundred years, so that... I will have a chance to fight the 'big cataclysm'." Guangying said.

If this "light and shadow" wants to "remake" Liu Maoxing now, no matter whether he is a famous chef who sacrificed himself for human beings to end the "catastrophe" a hundred years ago, and whether he is to save the world or not, he must be To fight him to the end...

But Guangying doesn't seem to have the ability to do this now, so Liu Maoxing can also talk to him patiently.

After all, Liu Maoxing was pulled over at the moment of death. Without this system, he would have died long ago. There is no reason to be too harsh on the other party...

However, Liu Maoxing still wanted to say a word: "Why are you so confident in the development of the 'future' culinary world, but you don't believe in the 'future' cooks at all?"

The "future" mentioned by Liu Maoxing is relative to a hundred years ago, that is, it refers to the present!

That's right, from Liu Maoxing's point of view, although this famous chef from a hundred years ago had a well-planned plan, the plan revolved around "you must not be able to do it, don't beep beep, let me go to the restaurant directly." Let's prepare for the core idea!

"...Are you Chef Long?"

"no."

"You already have all my skills, and the advancements in the culinary world that have been collected systematically for a hundred years, but you are still not Chef Long."

"Yes, but..."

"Only I can exert the full power of these skills! As the core of the soul, not only emotions, but also many more complicated things, you... can't." Guangying's tone was a little regretful, as if I didn't want to do it.

Liu Maoxing said unconvinced: "This system found me before I crossed over, right?"

"indeed so."

"Then if I'm really that bad, why did you choose me as your successor?"

"Coincidentally, at that time, I felt that there were only so many people who met the requirements, and you happened to have the same name as me..." Guangying said with some embarrassment.

Liu Maoxing suddenly felt that he had been hit by an arrow in the knee!

"Ahem, there is no other reason? For example... Appreciation?"

"No... If I really want to say it, maybe some of it is because you are very ordinary. After all, I don't want to have too many variables." Guangying said.

Liu Maoxing felt that he had been shot by another arrow in his knee...

"Plain, ordinary? You say I am ordinary? There are no other adjectives?"

"Then what else do you think?" Guangying asked back.

Liu Maoxing was at a loss for words for a moment. Indeed, his extraordinaryness seemed to be created by this system. It is obviously inappropriate to use this to brag in front of the creator of the system. Besides, before time travel... he was really ordinary!

"...But you were wrong! Although I am ordinary, I did not follow your 'script'!" Liu Maoxing said.

"That's right, I didn't expect that you would use super vision ability to copy the 'Heart of Cooking', and... already in this world, you have enough fetters and will to wake you up at the last step." Light and shadow didn't deny it.

Indeed, in the previous situation, just having an extra "mirror image cooking heart" was not enough to "wake up" Liu Maoxing, it just gave him a chance to wake up!

"It seems that your plan has failed, what do you want to do after that?" Liu Maoxing asked.

"Don't be so nervous, without the unique ability of the 'Sun' kitchen heart, I can't recover enough to replace you, and before replacing you, the 'Sun' is your kitchen heart after all. As for what I want to do... In fact, I What I want to do most now is to persuade you to give up and leave it to me later!

Master Xu Ling already told you, right? If you don't stop the "big cataclysm", even if you still maintain your personal emotions, you will only experience a few more years of doom and despair, and I can swear to some ingredients in the world, keep your personal emotions as much as possible, in the "big cataclysm" Afterwards, given the chance, I'll 'disappear' myself to bring you back. "Guangying's tone is very sincere.

However, it can be seen from his "original plan" that he was not sure about preserving Liu Maoxing's emotions.

"Well, obviously you don't accept this opinion..." Guangying said helplessly.

"Actually, I can accept it."

After Liu Maoxing finished speaking, Light and Shadow clearly expressed the emotion of "expectation".

"But I'm the same as you... I may be a bit overwhelmed when I say this sentence. A half-baked man who takes advantage of his predecessors, is lazy and stands on the shoulders of giants and has not yet become a dragon chef, and you, who was inspired Compared with the most gifted cook in the past seven thousand years after her...

But I still want to say this, I only believe in myself! When I stepped into the arena of 'All? Blue', I already had the awareness to take on everything! "Liu Maoxing said.

"No, if you are really a 'half', everything is still in my plan now, instead of becoming what it is now... Your cooking skills may still be just half-assed, after all, even though you own my things I have mastered it, but I haven't mastered it yet, but I already have what is necessary to become a dragon chef, other than cooking..." Guangying said.

"Actually, you are not completely sure about the 'big cataclysm', right?" Liu Maoxing surprisingly did not act like a villain just because he was praised by the famous chef more than a hundred years ago.

"That's right, but I believe my confidence is the greatest."

After hesitating for a while, Liu Maoxing said, "Then can you shrink back?"

"?" If Guangying had any facial features now, he would definitely look "dumbfounded".

"I mean you free up the occupied 'space'! I'll go out to quell the 'big cataclysm', you stay here and watch carefully, and then die early!" Liu Maoxing said very confidently.

But Guangying clearly understood what he meant...

You believe in yourself more, and I believe in myself more, but you can't put the recipes of all human beings in one basket!

Liu Maoxing's self-confidence is self-confidence, but if he really fails, he will try his best to bear the backlash of the "Dark Cuisine Showdown", and then "Liu Maoxing" as a backup system can come out...

"Liu Maoxing" obviously understood what he meant, and his figure dimmed little by little... In fact, after Liu Maoxing regained his will, he has the ability to make "he" who is a foreign object disappear directly!

Even Chef Long, who has half of Linger's blessing and the last talent from seven thousand years ago, is now just "the heart of the chef in the mirror" when the system rework has been terminated, and his treatment is not as good as that of Linger... …

Just before the light and shadow completely retracted, Liu Maoxing suddenly asked: "That's right! How did you find another world? Can you find it again?"

"I can't... At the beginning, I only discovered a space crack by coincidence, so I came up with this method. I don't know why that crack appeared, but it has disappeared... And that world is very strange!

When I was in the world diaphragm, I found more than one world, but when I approached that world without actually entering it, the flow of time became strange. After I approached, I actually 'fished' you out immediately, because I I feel that a hundred years have passed in this world, so I didn't have much time to choose people at that time, just casually..."

"Okay! I didn't ask about the latter!" Liu Maoxing said angrily... Don't you emphasize that I was chosen "randomly" and will die?

The time flow in the world before crossing was very special? Liu Maoxing also just asked casually, he had nothing to worry about in that world, although it seemed that he had no chance to go back, but he just sighed a little.

After all, here, there are more important things waiting for him!

After the light and shadow shrunk, Liu Maoxing felt that his consciousness, to be precise, "emotion", gradually returned from his heart to his body.

Liu Maoxing also felt that a special power that could communicate with the "Dragon Jade Dragon Pot", as if he could control all the ingredients, was already under his control!

It seems that the famous chef "Liu Maoxing" also left this "half blessing" to him.

Still in the arena against Chairman Paul, Liu Maoxing’s body didn’t faint before, and it wasn’t Liu Maoxing’s full consciousness that entered the “heart”, but his EQ, or the emotional part, when emotions entered the heart However, Liu Maoxing himself is still really "concentrating on cooking".

When Liu Maoxing's emotions returned, the cooking had reached the stage of final plate...

At this time, Liu Maoxing also understood what his "self" had done before on the field.

The recipes designed in advance were completed very well by the self-absorbed self.

And at this time Liu Maoxing also saw that Paul was already standing in the direction of the judges' seat, and he was already presenting the dishes!

Because of the "half blessing", now Liu Maoxing can see some things outside the venue, but it is still black and white...

At the same time, Paul, who had been completely controlled by the "curse", looked in the direction of Liu Maoxing.

While the judges were tasting his dishes, Paul carried another dish of his and walked towards Liu Maoxing...

In the competition, cooks don't have to answer the judges' questions, but it's definitely not uncommon for them to turn around and ignore the judges like this.

However, as President Paul, what surprised everyone was another thing...that is, Paul actually invited Liu Maoxing to taste his cuisine?

Of course, no one thought that Paul asked Liu Maoxing to taste it for him. Everyone was thinking about Liu Maoxing's performance in the qualifiers...

Therefore, everyone guessed that Paul admired Liu Maoxing and was also willing to support the younger generation, so he took the initiative to invite him to taste his own cooking.

Only Liu Maoxing understands that the other party is actually performing the steps of "Dark Cuisine Showdown"...

Liu Maoxing had no intention of escaping, and directly put an extra serving of his own cooking, and handed it to Paul as well.

Paul's dish is a golden-looking duck that is usually served on a western plate.

And Liu Maoxing's dish is a piece of barbecue placed on a wooden board... and it is a meat barbecue similar to a hamburger patty!
