Chapter 946: Chapter 945: Alpaca
In Singh’s eyes, Xia Yu saw a mockery that was ready to burst out.
Hmm?
The mockery had a slight change, a bit of astonishnt.
Singh might have recognized the boy.
Not just him, whispers rose again in the hall.
“I know this boy!”
“I know him too. Isn’t he the rising star who defeated the ‘Reserve Pastry King’ Wei Zhong?”
It’s not surprising that recent big events in the Chinese Realm have spread beyond the country.
But unlike in the holand, where this matter is ntioned in a uniformly respectful tone, the hunters in the hall, unruly as they are, spoke with a relaxed deanor.
Wei Zhong is quite famous in the Chinese Realm, but that’s not necessarily the case internationally.
‘Reserve Pastry King’?
Ha, there are tons of similar nicknas in the culinary world of various countries, all sorts of emperors, kings, gods. After years of exaggerated dia hype, people have developed an immunity.
It’s not really because Wei Zhong is less active in the international circle either.
If it were his junior brother, Huang He’s second apprentice, Luo Tiangang, and Xia Yu was said to have defeated him, the hunters here would definitely have a different discussion atmosphere.
It’s unrelated to anything else; it’s just a different circle.
In the hunters’ circle, they only recognize the international hunter ranking.
“A rookie, huh.”
An old hunter grinned, shaking the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, “Boy, want to tell you that outside the civilized world, this is what you need to reason with!”
Tch.
Xia Yu’s face darkened slightly. This group of people really took him for so ignorant kid.
It’s been a long ti since he encountered such a dismissive atmosphere.
To be honest, it filled Xia Yu with displeasure.
Especially, after receiving accolades and support as the ‘Great Demon King’ in his holand, to suddenly turn into a rookie, managing to sit calmly amidst such a drastic change in perception, speaks volus about his mindset.
Forcing calm.
Inside, the discussion was all about Xia Yu.
Instead, Singh, who had started the “rookie” vibe, suddenly withdrew his gaze.
Amid the whispers, Singh and the three teammates at his table exchanged glances.
Dark and nacing!
The top 20 on the international hunter ranking are all Lin Chefs, they stand at the pinnacle of the Food Tyrant System, and when Lei Zhe slinked back to North Arica from Neon, rumors in the upper echelons of the hunter circle were—
Lei Zhe was defeated by a young man.
And that young man is…
“Did he really defeat Lei Zhe?” The South Arican female hunter in the group recalled the rumors from more than half a year ago, still incredulous.
“Who knows?”
A flash of dread crossed Singh’s eyes, “If it’s true, and he could defeat Lei Zhe over half a year ago, then now, over half a year later, his culinary skill level…”
Ssss.
The people at the table gasped.
Precisely because they know Lei Zhe’s hunter ranking, and understand how strong this giant is, they found it hard to believe.
Very unreal.
“Hey—”
Suddenly, a shout ca from across the room.
Singh looked at Tulip, who called him, only to have Tulip publicly ask directly: “Do you know the specific whereabouts of ‘it’?”
Everyone in the hall knew what ‘it’ referred to.
The atmosphere instantly beca tense, the whispers vanished, leaving a deadly silence.
Singh’s expression changed several tis before he finally said with a grim look, “What if I do know? Humph, besides IGO’s elite hunting group, the giants of the Gourt Association are fully mobilized, as well as teams from Hua Country and Russia. Give it up, we have no chance, and neither do you!”
“How do you know there’s no chance if you don’t try?” Tulip said expressionlessly, “What about the information? Give it to , whether you want money or ingredients, just na your price…”
Before she finished, Singh laughed heartily and said, “I spit on it!”
“I have money.”
“As for ingredients, I can hunt them myself.”
“Tulip, bla yourself for being active in Neon all year round, always getting the news late, and now you’re running late—”
Singh stood up, and the others at his table followed him.
Yet soone straightaway blocked Singh, several Qilin Hunters looking at Jintan Shun blocking their way, their expressions darkening.
“Hand over the information—”
Jintan Shun’s smile was dangerous, “Not trading for money or ingredients? Then either your culinary skill or your strength.”
“You choose!”
Upon hearing that, the faces of Singh and his teammates twitched.
Culinary skills refer to a food battle.
Strength refers to violence.
Either one implies taking the option forcibly.
Culinary skills would be a civil battle, and even if lost, it would still look decent; but if you end up battered and unable to fend for yourself due to violence…
At this ti, Singh wished he could slap his own mouth, cursing himself for being talkative, tricked by Tulip into revealing too much.
“Ahem ahem!”
Just as the scene was stalling, the Mongolian woman spoke up, “No fights allowed in the tavern!”
Jintan Shun rested his chin on his hand and nodded, saying, “How about this, we’ll just have a culinary battle, no need for everyone to go in one by one. Our team will just send one person, and you pick one person to fight against, and the outco will be a bet on the information about ‘it’. How about that?”
Realizing that in culinary skills or strength, they had no chance of winning, Singh clenched his fists, his face tightened, “Who will you send out?”
“Him—”
Jintan Shun pointed with a finger.
Swish swish.
Everyone’s gaze focused on Xia Yu.
“Him?”
Singh’s expression changed slightly, then he quickly lowered his head, disguising the fleeting joy in his eyes.
Facing a match against the ranked eighth and ninth, Jintan Shun and Tulip, the odds were slim, but against this young boy, it’s not necessarily a loss. Even if he has the legendary flair of defeating Lei Zhe, still, youth is youth, and on the path of culinary skills where experience and accumulation matter, youth is not a capital; it’s looked down upon.
“Fine, I’ll accept this food battle!” Singh raised his head again.
“However…”
He gave a sinister smile, “The topic will be set by us!”
“How about that?”
Singh looked provocatively at Tulip and Jintan Shun, thinking it would be nice to take this opportunity to crush their arrogance.
As his dead rivals eyeing their ranking, Singh thought it would be satisfying to vent so rage.
As for the information? He didn’t really care about it; as he ntioned, they didn’t have a chance, so the information was essentially worthless. If it were a friendly Lin Hunter squad, giving it away might be a goodwill bargain.
Upon hearing that, Jintan Shun turned to seek Xia Yu’s opinion, but to their surprise, the boy sitting in his seat, without a word, just gave a thumbs-up, “No problem at all!”
Xia Yu was holding back until this mont, finally showing a joyful smile on his face.
“Good—”
Jintan Shun also laughed.
Ping.
Since being involved in the ‘god’ ingredient incident, the system that had been quiet finally popped up with information.
New task: In the Ulan Bator tavern, give it a try, defeat the respective Qilin Hunter.
Reward: Automatic satellite positioning of ‘god’ ingredients (until the ingredients are captured).
Automatic satellite positioning?
Xia Yu marveled in his heart, hey, is this the GPS for Fantasy Ingredients? The importance of the real-ti location of ingredients goes without saying, even high-raiding hunters like Tulip and Jintan Shun have to seek information everywhere, which shows how tightly the information is being blocked by several major forces.
Singh turned back to his teammates, whispering in low voices.
Soon after, the tavern emptied, and everyone moved to a large yard behind the tavern.
Outside the walls, there was the sound of car engines.
“The ingredients have been transported over—” Singh said, patting a female teammate’s shoulder, “Her, Maria, is our team’s contestant!”
Female chef?
Only now did Xia Yu notice this woman, with long flaxen hair, healthy tanned skin, overall a beautiful woman full of South Arican charm.
With the sound of “clang,” two iron cages were brought in.
Singh pointed at the creatures in the iron cages, the corners of his mouth curving in a sinister smile of a sche being realized, “Let’s use it as the topic for the match!”
Everyone looked and was taken aback.
“Alpaca?”
Xia Yu was utterly surprised.
Alpaca, not an insult, but refers to the large livestock known as ‘Llama’.
Of course, the livestock provided by Gourt Hunters is definitely not simple.
Looking at the beautiful chef filled with a South Arican flair…
Speaking of which, the South Arican countries, like Peru, aren’t they so of the breeding grounds for alpacas?
A local chef, local ingredients.
And the opponent is a young man relatively lacking in experience accumulation.
This setup is quite tight!
Xia Yu couldn’t help but glance at Singh, who was smiling brilliantly, then turned his attention to the ‘Llama’ in the cage, resting his chin on his hand, “Interesting!”
“Alpaca…”
“If Liu Maoxing were my age and encountered such livestock, how would he cook it?”
