Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 203: The Bet!

During the preliminary round, Li Sisi noticed Chen Meng often looking in the same direction, which was where Chen Mo was.

So she decided to tease Chen Meng.

After all, Chen Meng was very cute as a child, but unfortunately, people change when they grow up. Now, Chen Meng’s personality is a bit too cold. Although she is still close to her, it’s not as fun as it was when they were kids.

"Yee!" (Master, agree with Sister Sisi!)

Before Chen Meng could answer, the Light Unicorn in the Spiritual Space couldn’t wait to speak first.

The Starshine Stone is a legendary resource of the light element, containing the primal force of light, which is very helpful for it to refine light origin energy.

"Sister Sisi, why don’t you place your bet first!"

Chen Meng quickly replied.

The Starshine Stone is indeed very important to the Light Unicorn, she couldn’t refuse.

"Well, I certainly guess it’s a no! The Food Spirit has a low growth level and is few in number. Such a contestant reaching the finals is already considered a miracle. How about it? Why don’t you guess first instead?"

"No need, I bet Chen Mo can make it to the top ten."

Chen Meng said calmly.

Hearing Li Sisi’s assessment of Chen Mo, she instinctively wanted to refute it.

For some reason, she had a mysterious trust in Chen Mo.

Even though she couldn’t predict the result with Copper Treasure, she believed Chen Mo could create a miracle again.

"OK! So it’s a deal, ow!"

Li Sisi smiled, then quickly typed a message under the table and sent it to her best friend Jiang Xue—

[Oh dear, your daughter is falling in love! Let me observe the situation further. By the way, your Starshine Stone is very useful! (dog head emoji)]

Li Sisi’s Starshine Stone was bought at an auction of a major power in the Spirit Realm, commissioned by Jiang Xue, and then handed over to Chen Meng.

So, win or lose, she would hand the Starshine Stone to Chen Meng. This bet seemed like a loss for her, but actually, she gained a lot!

"What are you betting on? Count me in!"

Nearby, the Island Master of Taoyuan, Tao Ming, heard part of their conversation and wanted to join the bet.

He was an old "gambler," and usually enjoyed making bets with others.

Seeing this, Li Sisi immediately explained the bet to Tao Ming.

"Master Meng, I bet an epic-level Celestial Jumping Wall that Chen Mo makes it... not in the top 10. Dare to take it?"

Tao Ming paused, then added:

"If I win, I’ll just need Master Meng to do me a small favor."

"What favor?"

"Recently, a Monarch Level Lord Tiger Shark has been roaming the waters near Taoyuan, bringing its group every day to freeload on my gourmet food."

Tao Ming said with exaggerated anger, just thinking about it made him upset.

Although his Food Spirit’s growth level was Monarch Stage, not to mention more than one Monarch Level.

But... it still couldn’t beat the Lord Tiger Shark.

Originally, Tao Ming thought he could conquer this Lord Tiger Shark through delicious food and make it his contracted beast, but the Lord was only interested in freeloading and not in "settling down."

So now he urgently needed a "thug."

"Okay, I’ll bet."

Hearing Tao Ming’s betting terms, Chen Meng nodded.

"You believe in that kid so much?"

Seeing Chen Meng nod without hesitation, Tao Ming was rather surprised.

After all, in his view, the chance of Chen Mo making the top 10 was less than 10%.

"I trust my own judgment."

Chen Meng said calmly, her gaze unconsciously looking at Tuantuan in the field.

"Tuantuan, do your best!"

She thought silently in her heart.

--------------

"Ying?" (Master, should I make both Tri-Color Dumplings and Mapo Tofu?)

Five minutes before the start of the competition, the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit asked.

"Better focus on making Tri-Color Dumplings first! There should be enough time."

Chen Mo answered.

After equipping [Ambidextrous], if Tuantuan and its clone make the same dish together, it’s as simple as drawing a circle with the left hand and a line with the right hand.

Efficiency would also be higher! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Ying!" (Alright!)

"The competition begins!"

Soon, at the referee’s command, gigantic fruit juice bombs blasted into the sky.

As the fruit juice bombs exploded in the sky, every Spirit Chef and their Food Spirit got busy.

Tuantuan was the first to use the Food Spirit Splitting Technique.

In an instant, the snow-white Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit split from the center into two, then they simultaneously manipulated the Power of Food Spirit to start processing the Fei Ying Xiuqiu Fruit and Golden Sphere Fruit.

The Fei Ying Xiuqiu Fruit is a light pink fruit wrapped in cherry blossom petals, possessing a rich floral fragrance.

The Golden Sphere Fruit is a fruit of the Electric-type plant-based Spirit Beast, the Spherical Lightning Tree, containing powerful electric energy. It can be eaten directly, leaving a tingling sensation like being penetrated by an electric current.

After peeling, the two Tuantuans simultaneously used the basic food skill [Juicing], beginning to extract the juice from the Spirit Fruit with their Food Spirit power.

Their actions were so synchronized, it was like a copy-paste, the only difference being the Spirit Fruits they were handling.

Seeing this scene, the main camera of the event quickly switched to focus on Tuantuan.

Seeing the two identical Glutinous Rice Ball Spirits, even their movements highly synchronized, all the spectators were taken aback.

"Didn’t expect my Tuantuan to be hiding a trick."

"This is a mastery or above level of the Food Spirit Splitting Technique, a very difficult advanced skill. Even just dividing attention into two tasks trips up countless Food Spirits."

"Although, however, the Food Spirit Splitting Technique seems to only speed up food production, it doesn’t enhance the quality of the food. This only barely compensates for the lack of Food Spirit quantity."

...

...

After extracting the juice of the two kinds of Spirit Fruits, Tuantuan started to mix them with the measured white jade glutinous rice flour. After thorough mixing, they turned into one powdery white and one golden dough, each the size of a fist.

Subsequently, the two Tuantuans simultaneously used the "Soft" food skill on the dough, then began kneading it with calm proficiency, their eyes filled with meticulous focus.

This kneading process is actually the most critical step in making the Tri-Color Dumpling, allowing the Fruit Juice and White Jade Glutinous Rice Flour to be fully mixed, thus making the Tri-Color Dumpling’s texture smoother and softer.

It also ensures the taste of every part is consistent.

Although Tuantuan possesses the [Taste Adjuster] Entry, the [Taste Adjuster] can only alter the overall flavor of a dish, not modify local textures.

Seeing Tuantuan’s focused demeanor, Chen Mo, who was idly on the side, felt a bit sentimental and proud.

It’s indeed his Food Spirit.

Every time it enters the "cooking state," Tuantuan’s spirit becomes highly concentrated.

Because it deeply loves the act of cooking.

Tuantuan, born from gourmet food, naturally holds great enthusiasm for it.

It wants to perfect every dish, striving to achieve the best!

This is not just for the competition, but a pure desire to make food to its own highest satisfaction!

After watching the little one for a while, Chen Mo, like in the preliminary round, started goofing off.

After all, without equipping any entries, his culinary skills don’t differ much from an ordinary person.
