"Haha, there's only ten minutes left, Lin Chen, what dish can you come up with?" Kimura couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He was originally astonished when he smelled that Lin Chen had managed to evoke the taste of monkey head mushrooms using tofu, but then Lin Chen's soup pot exploded in the end. Such a dramatic conclusion made him laugh uncontrollably.

"Ah, it's over, Little Chen was too careless." Ten minutes— even Long Tianci did not believe that Lin Chen could turn defeat into victory.

Looking at the dishes made by Kimura, Anna, and Zhou Tian, Long Tianci let out a sigh. If Lin Chen lost, then no one would be Kimura's match.

"Elder Long, is my 'Prosperous and Golden Court' really inferior to Kimura's?" Zhou Tian complained dissatisfied.

"Your heat control was a bit off, same for Anna. Unless something unexpected happens, the winner should be Kimura," Long Tianci shook his head.

"How can this be!" Zhou Tian slumped back into his chair. He had thought that by making the 'Prosperous and Golden Court', he could defeat Kimura, but he still lost in the end.

After a moment of gloominess, Zhou Tian suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha, although I lost to Kimura, I have beaten Lin Chen. I'm going to make that bastard kneel and kowtow to me, calling me grandpa."

"You, there's simply no cure for you. We chefs of Huaxia have lost all face because of you, and yet you still find it funny," Anna said with dissatisfaction.

"Since the result is already clear, what are we waiting for? Announce it already!" Kimura said coldly.

Seeing Kimura's arrogant demeanor, the venue fell silent. Although everyone was angry, a loss was a loss; the one who won had the right to be haughty.

Long Tianci let out a sigh and was about to announce the result when suddenly a rich fragrance wafted up from below the stage.

"This fragrance, it smells so good!"

Long Tianci's gaze turned downwards, and the scent was actually coming from Lin Chen's stove.

This dish is, Long Tianci looked at the dish and his face showed a hint of shock.

"Char siu rice!" "Haha, Lin Chen, have you gone mad or become a fool? Do you really think you're Stephen Chow? Even daring to mimic the char siu rice; you aren't going to tell me the dish you made is called 'God of Cookery's Sad and Lonely Rice', are you?" Zhou Tian burst into laughter seeing the dish Lin Chen had come up with.

It turned out to be just char siu rice. When Kimura initially smelled the fragrance, he was startled, but hearing that it was char siu rice, his heart relaxed.

Char siu rice is something you can find everywhere. Even if it's made extraordinarily well, what of it? He made 'Sea Emperor Shark's Fin'— a dish several grades above Lin Chen's char siu rice.

Lin Chen, holding the fragrant rice in his hands, said calmly to Zhou Tian, "You're right, what I made is indeed the 'God of Cookery's Sad and Lonely Rice'."

"Haha, I think you've seen too many movies. No matter how delicious char siu rice is, I don't believe it can surpass my 'Prosperous and Golden Court'," Zhou Tian laughed uproariously.

Kimura also let out a cold chuckle: "Lin Chen, I respect your culinary skills, but today you are bound to lose."

Lin Chen brought the 'God of Cookery's Sad and Lonely Rice' to the judges, saying earnestly, "Please, judges, have a taste."

Long Tianci nodded and took a bite of Lin Chen's 'God of Cookery's Sad and Lonely Rice', his face revealing a look of shock.

"Delicious, Little Chen, you've actually done it."

"The juice of the char siu meat is sealed within the fibers, merging like rivers, and the sinews have been broken by Inner Strength, melting instantly in the mouth, coupled with the runny yolk egg! This is simply a supreme delicacy of the mortal realm."

Wait, that line seems to be from the movie— yes, Lin Chen has turned the 'God of Cookery's Sad and Lonely Rice' that made Stephen Chow a legend in the film into reality.

The other judges who tried Lin Chen's char siu rice all showed shocked expressions as well.

"Delicious, it's definitely a top-notch delicacy."

Seeing the expressions of the judges, both Kimura and Zhou Tian's faces changed.

"Impossible, impossible, you must be deliberately biased towards Lin Chen! I can't believe my 'Sea Emperor Shark's Fin' is not as delicious as his char siu rice; I demand a machine test," Kimura exclaimed.

"Exactly, how can a mere char siu rice that can't even be presented properly be compared with our high-end delicacies," said Zhou Tian, his face ashen.

Long Tianci sneered, "Then let the machine decide the winner!"

Now, he was very confident in the 'Soulful Melancholy Rice' that Lin Chen made; even with an instrument test, he was fully confident that Lin Chen would win.

Zhou Tian's 'Golden Abundance' was the first to be placed in the gourmet food testing machine, and it finally scored 1500 points.

Seeing this score, Zhou Tian wore a triumphant expression, "Lin Chen, I don't believe that your broken char siu rice will score higher than mine."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Who told you you can't make gourmet food in a short time, who told you that common dishes can't be presentable? I'll wait for you to kneel and kowtow, calling me grandpa in a moment."

"You bastard, let's see if you still have any arrogance left when the results come out," Zhou Tian snorted coldly.

Anna's 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' scored 1800 points, while Kimura's 'Sea Emperor Shark Fin Soup' astonishingly scored 2300 points.

Finally, Lin Chen's 'Soulful Melancholy Rice' was also placed into the machine.

"1200 points, 1300 points... 1600 points!" Watching as the score on the machine for Lin Chen surpassed his own, Zhou Tian's face grew uglier.

But Lin Chen's score continued to rise, "1800 points... 2300 points... 2500 points... 3000 points!"

The entire venue fell silent, 3000 points was a perfect score, and Lin Chen's 'Soulful Melancholy Rice' actually got a perfect score.

"How is this possible!" Everyone was stunned.

"Impossible, the instrument must be broken," shouted Kimura, the first to snap back to reality.

"Right, right, the machine must be broken, we demand a retest," Zhou Tian turned into Kimura's lackey, shouting along with him.

Long Tianci was also very shocked; although the 'Soulful Melancholy Rice' Lin Chen made was delicious, he also did not anticipate it receiving a perfect score.

"Then let's test it one more time, this will be the final result."

"1200... 2500... 3000!" Countless gazes were glued to the big screen, astonished by the final score.

"It's really a perfect score!" the venue erupted with sharp intakes of breath.

"This terrifying guy, it looks like I still underestimated him," Long Tianci shook his head.

Anna patted her ample chest, "Scared me to death, finally we still won."

"How is this possible?" Kimura, seeing the score on the screen, turned pale, staring blankly at the display, unable to believe that his 'Sea Emperor Shark Fin Soup' had actually lost to a bowl of char siu rice.

Zhou Tian, on the other hand, had an ashen face, outsmarted despite all his scheming.

Long Tianci stepped onto the stage, his face revealing an undeniable smile, "After two tests, there's nothing left to argue! Now, I proclaim..."

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Kimura suddenly interrupted Long Tianci again.

"What else do you have to say?" Long Tianci frowned.

A vicious look appeared in Kimura's eyes, "My 'Sea Emperor Shark Fin Soup' cannot lose, it must be you guys who tampered with this testing machine, I'm going to make you all die!"

At that moment, Kimura's hand suddenly held a remote control, "As soon as I press this red button, the bombs placed around the square will explode, and none of you will live. I will make you pay for your foolish actions."

Kimura's words were like a thunderclap, causing an uproar throughout the venue.

Long Tianci and Anna were shocked, having overlooked the possibility that this guy had somehow managed to install explosives in the stadium undetected.

"Kimura, I really despise you, you can't bear to lose like this," Lin Chen slowly walked towards Kimura.

"What is this guy doing? To provoke him at a time like this!" Anna's face instantly turned ugly.
