Chapter 280: King of Foods (Little Caterpillar)
When Wang Che brought the little caterpillar out, it hummed, indicating that it was in a good mood.
The reason was that after it was completed, it ate some.
It indicated that it was eating happily.
It was probably very satisfied with the finished product it made.
Of course, it had to taste the food it made itself.
In fact, if Wang Che had not stopped it, this little guy could eat all the snacks it had just made.
“Little glutton!”
Wang Che knocked the little caterpillar on the head and brought the leaf snacks to the evaluation area.
It was not late. It did not take more than three hours.
When he walked out, the evaluation area was already filled with fragrance.
Because too many meals were presented.
From the fragrance, Wang Che could roughly sense the level of these contestants.
It was probably… Hmm, it should be slightly better than the little caterpillar.
When he arrived at the evaluation area, Wang Che saw ten judges.
They were all professors and masters, so there was no need to mention their standards.
Other than that, there were a few soul pets.
The most eye-catching was naturally the elegant Greedy Duck.
Wang Che also recognized this soul pet and couldn’t help but look at the little caterpillar.
“You’re finally here.”
Professor Yun smiled, “Since you didn’t go to the award ceremony yesterday, I thought you wouldn’t come today. Let me see how good your food is.”
“It’s mainly for training.” Wang Che coughed.
He came mainly to train the little caterpillar.
The cooking this time was done by the little caterpillar.
Other than the few key reasons for digging the Green Enamel Flower, Wang Che only occasionally pointed out the more important parts in the subsequent production process.
The little caterpillar completed the rest itself.
“Ahem, then take it up and take a look.”
Principal Nan looked like he wanted to nitpick. He did not believe that Wang Che’s agricultural talent and level were so high.
Wang Che did not say anything else and placed the plate on the table in front of the ten judges.
The little caterpillar could not help but eat a little, so there was not much left.
When he lifted the lid, it was very ordinary.
There was no light.
Wang Che knew the reason but did not explain.
Because after it was made, the little caterpillar ate it first and did not save it.
In the production room, when it was completed, there was indeed an extraordinary energy flash.
Therefore, there was none now.
Unlike others, they would immediately cover it after making it and wait for it to be presented to attract attention.
“What?”
There was no energy light, which made the other judges frown slightly.
The lid was lifted, revealing light green leaf snack biscuits.
There was no Green Enamel Bird engraved on the biscuit, but a pocket-sized caterpillar.
This was created by the little caterpillar.
After the little caterpillar’s proficiency increased, it would directly use tools to carve patterns in the production room.
It was basically using itself as a model.
Sometimes, it would also carve the Little Sword on it.
Wang Che was too complicated to replicate. The little caterpillar felt that it could not complete it.
When training was too tiring, it would make snacks and carve a small person similar to Wang Che. It would eat it in one bite.
The judges: “…”
Without the energy light, the biscuit did look ordinary.
The fragrance was a little subtle and not strong, but it was very comfortable to smell.
“This is?”
Professor Yun sized it up carefully and vaguely felt that this leaf biscuit was not simple.
“Leaf snacks are the favorite of bug type soul pets.” Wang Che explained, “I raise green caterpillars and usually make many snacks. Since it’s the King of Foods competition, I chose the best item to make.”
“However, other soul pets or Contract Soul Masters can also eat it. Insects absorb it best and have the highest pleasure after using it.”
The judges nodded in understanding.
“Then let the duck try.”
The old professor’s gaze was a little serious, as if he felt that this leaf biscuit was not simple.
Even if he had not tasted it or used his mental strength to sense it, he felt that it was not simple with pure intuition and experience.
The Greedy Duck walked over. It was still very elegant.
The cute little duck glanced at the leaf biscuit and slowly forked a biscuit with its wings.
“Sss?”
This was the first time the little caterpillar had seen such a soul pet. It looked at Wang Che in confusion.
It seemed to be asking, did ducks eat leaves too?
“It eats everything.”
The little caterpillar understood and looked at the Greedy Duck enviously.
At this moment, the Greedy Duck had already fed the biscuit into its flat beak.
The Greedy Duck first chewed and paused. In a few seconds, it swallowed.
Then, as if electrocuted, the entire duck shook from top to bottom.
The feathers on its body stood up slightly.
Everyone was confused.
However, the Greedy Duck ignored the others. It looked at the plate again and ate another leaf biscuit.
It repeated this process and kept eating.
This behavior finally let people know why it was called the Greedy Duck.
They did not notice it previously because it basically tasted it before putting down the fork.
How could it act like this?
“Little Duck!”
The old professor hurriedly shouted.
‘Good fellow, are you going to finish it?’
“Huh?”
The Greedy Duck came back to its senses and looked at the few leaf biscuits on the plate. It could only put down its fork.
It picked up a pen and paper and pondered for a long time before writing a lot.
After writing three pages, he handed it to Wang Che.
“Caw caw caw!”
It called out three times in a row.
Wang Che took a look and discovered that the duck’s level was actually a little high.
The three pages explained the advantages of the leaf biscuit.
In the end, it scored a high 85 points.
It probably felt very satisfied.
If Wang Che had to score it, the little caterpillar’s leaf biscuit was worth 65 points at most.
This was also because of his guidance… Otherwise, it would be even lower.
The little caterpillar was still young after all. There was still a long way to go.
The other judges were shocked to see the little duck give such a high score.
85 points?
The highest score it had given was Shen Mingluan’s 75 points.
This was ten points higher!
The old professor was also shocked.
Without a word, he picked up a leaf with his chopsticks and ate it.
The moment it entered his mouth, he roughly understood why the Greedy Duck gave such a high score.
The other judges immediately began to taste it.
After all, the Greedy Duck’s behavior was a little abnormal.
It naturally did not take long to eat a biscuit… Before long, the leaf biscuits on the plate were finished.
The little caterpillar was a little anxious. It wanted to save some for itself.
It did not expect the food to be finished in an instant…
After Principal Nan finished eating, he looked at Wang Che with a complicated expression and sighed.
“Impressive, impressive.”
“Cloud Bean Mud, Green Enamel Flower Root, Flower Leaf, Petal, Fruit… All the hidden elements are present…”
“You discovered everything. Not only did you discover it, but you can also use it. Not only did you use it, but it’s also so compatible. Not only is it so compatible, but the use of the materials is also exquisite. It can reach at least 60%…”
“Soul power energy, the ground energy in the Cloud Bean Mud, and the sky energy of the Green Enamel Flower are actually contained in it.”
“At the same time, it’s delicious and fragrant… The texture is excellent.”
“One word: Perfect!”
Since Principal Nan said that, the judges naturally did not need to evaluate it anymore.
Professor Yun was even more satisfied after eating it. The more he looked at Wang Che, the more satisfied he was.
“Very good, very good indeed! You’re not the first to discover the two hidden elements of the main body of the Green Enamel Flower, but you’re the first to complete it after discovering it.”
“After using all the materials, the snacks can still fuse most of the energy of the raw materials.”
“Although the level of production might be a little immature, there’s still room for improvement in terms of taste, fragrance, and so on, it’s definitely the top level among students.”
“No wonder your soul pet is trained so well. I knew your cooking skills are definitely amazing!”
The other judges began to give their scores.
They were basically above 80.
This was already a rare high score in a few years.
Actually, the most important thing about this score was not only the food itself, but also the hidden elements.
Principal Gu looked at Wang Che and asked with a smile,
“To be able to make the Green Enamel Flower bloom and do this, your agriculture level is far higher than your food level. You used a method to accelerate the ripening?”
Wang Che glanced at the little caterpillar and did not hide anything.
“No. According to the origin of the Green Enamel Flower, I used its saliva to water it for two hours to make it bloom and bear fruit. That Green Enamel Flower was originally close to blooming and bearing fruit anyway.”
Principal Gu glanced at the green caterpillar and nodded slightly.
“As expected. Actually, if they could understand the origin of the Green Enamel Flower and know the reason, other contestants could do it. Unfortunately, a few contestants only saw that the Green Enamel Flower was about to bloom and bear fruit, but they could only use soul skills to accelerate its growth.”
“They don’t know that using knowledge to resolve it is easier.”
“It’s too easy to be limited by martial souls and soul skills.” Principal Gu sighed slightly.
“This is the world of martial souls to begin with. It’s not wrong to think that way.” Wang Che smiled and said, “Actually, as long as the skill can be strong, it can also forcefully mature the Green Enamel Flower. I think that as long as the result is reached, the process doesn’t matter.”
Wang Che did not use his soul skill. He only wanted to teach the little caterpillar.
If the little caterpillar was not by its side in the future, it had to learn to live independently and learn more.
Principal Gu and the other judges laughed, agreeing with Wang Che.
Before long, the judges gave their scores.
In the end, it averaged 85 points.
At least ten percent of it was from the hidden elements.
The audience could only hear the judges analyze everything. Most of them did not understand.
But in conclusion, it was amazing!
Only when the score was out could one feel that it was a little abnormal!
It had already far exceeded all the contestants!
It was enough to blind everyone!
“I knew it. The level of a person with 40 Delicacy Badges is definitely ridiculously high.”
Kong Wei could not help but ridicule, “Is this really a new student? It’s a little exaggerated. With this level, he can be a teacher, right? With such a high score, those hidden elements must have been completed… The level of agriculture is also ridiculously high.”
Shen Mingluan was not disappointed. Instead, she smiled happily and said,
“As I expected, Junior Wang’s food standard is indeed so high. Actually, it’s mainly because of the bonus points. To be able to let the Green Enamel Flower bloom and bear fruit, there are two additional materials. The work produced naturally has various effects and the score is naturally high.”
It was easy to say, but it was one thing to be able to do it.
When Wang Che walked down, the little caterpillar was still a little disappointed.
The leaf biscuits on the plate had been eaten.
If it had known earlier, it would have secretly hidden a few.
After all, those materials were very rare.
85 points. This score felt a little high compared to the previous year.
Fortunately, it was only made by the little green caterpillar. If Wang Che had made it himself, that would be rather scary.
“It’s indeed better to leave such things to the little caterpillar in the future.”
Wang Che’s heart jumped.
He suddenly thought of the Magnetic Sword.
Since the little caterpillar could cook and also had to study medicine in the future, shouldn’t Little Sword learn something too?
For example, modifying itself?
Wang Che pondered and felt that this idea was feasible.
Of course, he would definitely participate in it.
After walking off the stage, Wang Che exchanged his experiences with Shen Mingluan and the others.
Before long, the King of Foods Competition gradually ended.
As expected, Wang Che got first place.
King of Foods, Wang Che. (Little Caterpillar)
The reward was actually not bad. It was a few intermediate soul plants.
Of course, it had already been processed after maturing. Although he could not process the seeds, these soul plants reminded Wang Che of the Lightning Crown Root King’s roots.
Perhaps he could refine a spirit pill.
After the King of Foods competition ended, there were still media interviews. Wang Che took the reward and slipped away first.
Shen Mingluan and the others were left behind for an interview…
“This kid fled quickly.”
Professor Yun looked at Wang Che’s figure and shook his head with a smile, “He’s so low-key… Is that necessary?”
At this point, Professor Yun suddenly had a thought.
He suddenly looked at his other old friends.
The few old friends looked at each other as if they were telepathic.
“I’ll go and check the video of his production process.”
Principal Nan coughed, “Is there anything you want to see?”
His old friends nodded slightly.
“I’m indeed quite curious.”
Professor Yun pondered and said, “Wang Che is mainly strong because of the high level of agriculture and plants. He can dig out the hidden elements of the Green Enamel Flower. However, his food level is also so high. Not to mention other aspects, his control of the materials is so detailed. To be able to achieve such a high efficiency is not simple.”
“I keep feeling that something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go take a look?”
Professor Yun and his old friends arrived at the surveillance room on the second floor of the gymnasium.
The closed production was to prevent external factors from interfering.
At the same time, it was to prevent cheating.
There were naturally surveillance cameras.
As a judge, if he discovered any problems with the food, he could check the surveillance cameras and obtain evidence.
Soon, the scene of Room No. 88 appeared, which was Wang Che’s production room.
The few of them sat down excitedly.
The surveillance footage was not very clear.
This was not a problem for the few big shots.
Professor Chen waved his hand gently, and a mechanical screen directly projected the scene in the surveillance camera clearly.
Then, the professors took out the food that they could refine at any time and ate as they watched.
At this moment, the soul ring on Professor Chen’s body flashed.
The Greedy Duck also came out.
“Yes, the duck also wants to take a look,” Professor Chen said. “This little guy is the youngest among us. It’s relatively young, but I’ve already begun to teach it to try making food on its own. It can also learn to watch.”
The other professors smiled and nodded.
Before long, the video began to play.
The start was quite normal.
Wang Che discovered the problem with the Green Enamel Flower and watered it with the little caterpillar’s saliva.
Although it was a silent video, they watched with interest.
Two hours later, the production began.
The scene they were looking forward to did not appear in the video.
Wang Che walked to the side.
Then, they saw a scene that made their eyes pop out.
The green caterpillar spat out a few threads and placed the pot in front of it. Its body began to burn.
It accurately controlled the flow of every wisp of flames. Countless threads danced in the air, disintegrating the Cloud Bean Mud and the Green Enamel Flower…
It was very handsome.
Yet…
The professors: “???”
Their minds seemed to have short-circuited as they froze.
What the hell?
What was this little caterpillar doing?
Until they saw the completed leaf snacks, they came to their senses…
The leaf biscuits just now… were actually refined by this little caterpillar?
The professors fell silent…
