Coming to Totsuki to proactively initiate a Shokugeki... honestly, this hadn't happened for a very long time.
But since someone had actually done this, Totsuki's preparation for such an event was still very fast.
The Chef of Harmony, Boutril, was standing next to Shinomiya Unyo, looking at him ingratiatingly.
"My Lord, your stake this time..."
"You mean I didn't need to put up 100 million as a stake, right?"
Shinomiya Unyo glanced at Boutril, and seeing that he didn't speak but basically acquiesced, Shinomiya Unyo couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
"Idiot... The title of World's Best Chef was previously only known within the circle of chefs, and specifically the elite and top tiers."
"For Totsuki, that was certainly enough, because Totsuki is already a giant in the culinary world. The people of this country naturally consider Totsuki to represent the pinnacle of the nation's culinary standard, and even in the Western culinary circles, Totsuki's dominant position is generally recognized."
"For a Totsuki like this, it's enough for the elite among chefs to know that the World's Best Chef is at Totsuki-because Totsuki's influence on the general public and ordinary chefs means they don't need such a title to prove themselves within their sphere of activity."
"As for countries like the neighboring one, where the food culture has developed to a high point, they recognize Totsuki itself, But not the title the World's Best Chef."
"So the World's Best Chef is just a title when it's at Totsuki."
"But if you successfully snatch this title today, then this title should appear in the public eye-but the public knows the title is impressive, but they certainly don't know the value of this title, do they?"
Shinomiya Unyo smiled.
"And this 100 million is enough to let the public understand the value of this title."
"The fee just to challenge is 100 million... Heh, only a title like that is valuable enough to be brought into my possession!"
Shinomiya Unyo was a direct descendant of the Shinomiya family and one who possessed the right to succession-so he was very focused on utilizing the value of certain things.
His fundamental purpose for coming here wasn't for the World's Best Chef title; he just came to pay a visit.
But since he spent the time, he had to create more value.
This was natural for a businessman.
However, all these plans depended on one premise.
Shinomiya Unyo glanced at Boutril.
"You can win, right?"
Boutril had previously been trying to please Shinomiya Unyo, but hearing him ask this, Boutril immediately regained his confident smile.
"Yes~!"
"I can guarantee you this much: the moment that World's Best Chef accepted the challenge, his time as the best was over!"
...
The preparations for the Shokugeki were very fast.
After all, this was Totsuki. Although Totsuki, due to Jaden, the Kengan history's strongest fighter, had become the Kengan Association's undisputed number one fighting force, Totsuki was actually still accustomed to Shokugeki rather than Kengan.
And there were many spectators for the Shokugeki.
So by the time Jaden ascended the stage, the surrounding audience seats were already packed.
The so-called Chef of Harmony, Boutril, was standing behind the cooking station opposite Jaden, and after seeing Jaden, he gave him a very provocative look.
"I have seen through your little tricks, so don't think you can hold onto the number one position this time."
Hearing him say this, Jaden didn't even look at him; he simply placed the instant noodles he bought onto the cooking station.
Oh, by the way, this time he didn't buy packaged ones; it was directly cup instant noodles!
It was a very typical fried tofu cup ramen.
Seeing this, Boutril raised an eyebrow, then let out a cold snort, and stopped talking to Jaden.
The two of them stood in silence, and after a brief introduction, the host raised her voice.
"Shokugeki-Begin!"
Following her voice, Boutril immediately sprang into action.
Although it was instant noodles, there were still specific steps for handling each process-and this was what Boutril excelled at. This was also why he was called the Chef of Harmony.
Upgrade and optimize every step, and then harmonize those steps together to ultimately form a perfect whole!
This was his culinary art!
In contrast, Jaden...
Boiling water, soaking noodles.
For him, the Shokugeki was simply this straightforward.
So Jaden's serving speed had always been very fast.
But...
This time, Jaden simply added the water, and then waited. Erina even noticed that Jaden hadn't even added the seasoning packet this time!
So.
-It was Boutril who served first today.
He appeared before the judging panel with his three bowls of instant noodles ahead of time.
"These are my instant noodles. Please enjoy~"
As he spoke, he placed three bowls that looked like soup noodles from a high-end restaurant in front of the three judges.
At this moment, he smiled very happily.
Although he looked down on Jaden from the bottom of his heart, he did not underestimate his opponent tactically at all.
His three bowls of instant noodles had been perfectly harmonized by him, and...
-These three bowls of noodles were actually not the dishes he made on the surface!
He was still unclear about the principle behind Jaden's little tricks.
So choosing to serve earlier than Jaden was one aspect, and another was not to serve the dishes made on the spot, but to secretly prepare them before the match started, and then use a little trick to swap them out-this was the most effective way to avoid Jaden's tricks!
After all, he had specifically investigated, and the chefs who failed their Shokugeki against Jaden had no problems when cooking in private; the only time they had problems was when facing Jaden.
If that was the case-then he should just make the dishes in private, and then bring that unquestionably perfect dish to the Shokugeki!
Boutril was practically moved by his own ingenuity.
And Jaden's gaze fell upon Boutril's three bowls of instant noodles at this moment.
This time-he truly did nothing.
However, he read the detailed description of the [Instant Noodle Master] skill, which stated that he must serve later than his opponent, and nothing else mattered.
So Jaden just kept soaking his noodles; they were probably mushy by now.
And only in his visible field of view, the noodles had a buff: [Bad Taste]
[Bad Taste: Bad taste]
Even so, he was waiting for the opponent to serve.
And then...
Only Jaden could see that Boutril's three bowls of instant noodles had a buff: [Perfect Harmony]
[Perfect Harmony: Harmonizes everything to perfection, thereby turning the dish into a unified whole]
He was still debating whether or not to put the curse on the opponent at this moment.
But...
The next second, the Instant Noodle Master skill activated.
The status bar for Boutril's three bowls of instant noodles immediately changed. The [Perfect Harmony] disappeared, replaced by three [Bad Taste] buffs.
And then...
These three buffs upgraded!
From [Bad Taste] to [Super Bad Taste]!
And the description of this [Super Bad Taste] buff was just as simple and crude as [Bad Taste].
[Super Bad Taste: An extremely rare fusion skill that only appears when a dish has two Bad Taste statuses. Of course, it is also extremely rarely bad-tasting]
Seeing this description, Jaden blinked.
Then, when he looked at his own cup noodles, he unexpectedly saw this buff on them.
[Absolutely Perfect Harmony]
[Absolutely Perfect Harmony: The optimized and upgraded version of Perfect Harmony]
Ah, so that's what Instant Noodle Master is all about~
It's about determining the quality of the two people's instant noodles, then taking the good one for himself and making it even better, and giving the bad one to the opponent, and adding a [Bad Taste] buff to the bad one.
Having understood this, Jaden found that he could indeed smell a super-premium broth in his instant noodles, even though he hadn't added the seasoning packet...
Seeing this, Jaden silently placed the three cup noodles in the judging area and waited for what would happen next.
Boutril, at this moment, was still introducing his noodles.
"I used special spring water for the instant noodle water, and the noodle base was stir-fried with shrimp shells, and the side dishes were meticulously prepared by me."
"Although it's instant noodles, I added dozens of high-end ingredients, and the method for perfectly harmonizing these dozens of high-end ingredients is the result of my thirty years of effort, a product of merging the essence of various international cuisines after traveling across several countries."
"It looks ordinary, but it tastes anything but. The flavor of my noodles will surely give you an unparalleled surprise, so-please enjoy!"
