Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 225 "Treasure Boy" Jiang He

"Ying!" (Nostalgic Zongzi!)

Tuantuan answered without hesitation, for this dish held a special significance for both it and Chen Mo.

It was with this dish that they were about to clinch the championship of the Young Chef Competition!

"Woo—"

At this moment, a long, clear whale song reached Chen Mo’s ears.

After consuming the Nostalgic Zongzi of the Star Sea food plus version, sparkling teardrops continuously fell from its deep blue eyes.

Like the judges on the stage, it too was transported into a "dreamscape," returning to its homeland, the Vortex Sea.

It saw again the algae floating past its belly, the birds that perched on its body, the starry night sky, and the sunrise and storms of the sea.

Even those kin who had once been indifferent to it now appeared much friendlier.

Although its childhood experiences were not all pleasant, the effect of the Nostalgic Zongzi was to infinitely magnify these beautiful memories.

At that moment, Star Sea felt a warm hand wipe away the tears it had shed.

"Guys, once the competition ends, let’s go visit the Vortex Sea! You promised to take me on a good tour,"

Chen Mo said with a smile.

He recalled when he first met Star Sea, the big guy had invited him to travel in the sea.

Unfortunately, he had to participate in a training program and couldn’t leave the training island back then.

Now, there was a perfect opportunity to go.

Today, his Spiritual Beast’s strength was sufficient to allow him to explore many areas of the Spirit Realm.

For Star Sea, this also counted as a triumphant return home, as now it was a flying Isolated Island Spirit!

"Woo—"

The big guy nodded vigorously, a profound sense of emotion welling up inside.

It nuzzled Chen Mo with its head.

In this world, other than the man in front of it, no one could be so good to it!

9:30 P.M.

The moon hung high, and the night was thick.

Yet, Kyoto Square was still brightly lit, with the scent of various cuisines drifting far with the evening breeze, filling the air with the aura of worldly life.

"Dong!"

Accompanied by the clear sound of the gong, the 68th Young Chef Competition final officially ended!

The last contestant finished their dish just a minute before the gong sounded.

"Please look at the screen; here are the detailed scores of contestants from 4th to 30th place,"

Xia Yan announced.

As soon as she finished speaking, the scores of the contestants appeared on the giant digital screen behind her.

Three minutes later, once everyone had a good look, Xia Yan brought the microphone back to her mouth:

"Next, let me announce the second and third places, who are respectively Liu Yang from the Southeastern Division and Cheng Ling from the Central Division!"

This time Liu Yang truly outdid himself, creating an epic level of Crystal Shrimp, and with the judges’ scores, reached a total of 90.5 points.

If Chen Mo, this grannie, hadn’t participated, he would have undoubtedly been the undisputed champion. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Talk about being unlucky.

"The champion of this Young Chef God Competition is from the Southeastern Division—Chen Mo and his Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit Meow!"

Neon Cat exclaimed loudly.

The surrounding judges, guests, and audience all clapped hard, while reporters snapped frantic photos of Chen Mo and Tuantuan.

In their eyes, Chen Mo was like a "treasure boy," with so many facets still to unearth.

Champion of the Daoist School Disciple Group, discoverer of Wish-Making White Fox and Xunlei’s Shadow, and now another title—

Little Chef God!

They could almost foresee that tomorrow’s trending searches would undoubtedly be dominated by Chen Mo.

"The champion of this Young Chef Competition will receive a legendary cuisine personally crafted by Chef God Jiang Yun! The runner-up and second runner-up will receive an epic cuisine, meow!"

Neon Cat continued.

"Then, please welcome Chef God Jiang Yun to present the awards to the contestants, meow~"

Quickly, dressed in a red Tang suit, with a kindly face, Jiang Yun slowly walked onto the stage, and handed out three trophies made of different materials one by one to the three participants.

Chen Mo accepted the gold trophy, the general shape of which was a food resembling egg fried rice but with two yellow ears, a type of Food Spirit.

This was the original Food God, Qin Shi’s Food Spirit, the Golden Egg Fried Rice Spirit.

An ordinary Food Spirit, yet under Qin Shi’s nurturing, it eventually became an Overlord Ninth Rank Food Spirit.

The Chef God Competition was initially founded by Qin Shi, and only later did it gradually evolve into the present Young Chef Competition, also known as the "Little Chef God Competition."

"Thank you, senior Jiang Yun."

Chen Mo bowed slightly, respectfully speaking.

"No need to be polite. Have you decided which legendary dish you want to customize? Which of the 7 evolutionary foods is it?"

Jiang Yun asked cheerfully.

He realized that Chen Mo’s Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit had reached the growth level limit and had not chosen to evolve, clearly wanting to achieve perfect evolution through the legendary food.

"Nostalgic Zongzi."

Chen Mo calmly replied.

"Nostalgic Zongzi, that’s great! Wait, Nostalgic Zongzi?"

Jiang Yun paused for a moment, then quickly reacted and softly asked:

"Is Nostalgic Zongzi also an evolutionary food for the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit?"

"Yes, I just discovered it too."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Impressive discovery!"

Jiang Yun praised, then said to the three:

"I’ll go back and prepare the ingredients first, you can come find me at Xiangyun Villa tomorrow noon."

Before leaving, he smiled and said to Chen Mo:

"Chen Mo, the legendary Nostalgic Zongzi you want might require our joint effort to complete."

Jiang Yun had watched the entire process of Chen Mo making Nostalgic Zongzi.

Chen Mo had already reached the pinnacle in terms of technique and skills; even if he were to do it, he could not do any better.

Now, what he lacked was only a powerful Food Spirit and precious ingredients.

"It’s my honor!"

Collaborating with a Chef God senior was naturally a very good opportunity.

Normally, after the award ceremony, there would typically be a photo session and interviews.

Chen Mo, finding it troublesome, equipped the "Random Bystander" and then quietly left the scene.

Just then, his Spirit Control Bracelet beeped.

It was Sister Meng’s call.

"Chen Mo, do you have any leftover Nostalgic Zongzi from the competition?"

On the other end of the phone, Sister Meng’s voice wasn’t as cold as before, instead sounding a bit... gentle?

It could even be described as a bit... emotional.

But still quite pleasant.

Chen Mo uncertainly glanced at the name displayed on the bracelet, confirmed it was Chen Meng, and said:

"I’ve eaten all of them, but if Sister Meng wants some, I can make them fresh for you."

Chen Mo guessed that in Chen Meng’s heart, there was something or someone from her old hometown that she couldn’t let go of, so she wanted to use the power of Nostalgic Zongzi to have one more glance.

"No need. When you’re free, can you wrap a few more for me? 10 million for one."

Chen Meng, wealthy and imposing, said.

Epic level cuisine, especially being pastry-like, naturally wouldn’t be priced like this.

"No problem. After I visit senior Jiang Yun tomorrow and help Tuantuan evolve, I’ll make them for you. You don’t need to pay me! I might not be able to help much in other aspects, but in terms of gourmet food, Sister Meng, feel free to come to me for meals anytime!"

Chen Mo replied with a smile.

He thought about how he had always been troubling Chen Meng, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

If he could exchange food, then he could continue troubling Chen Meng with a clear conscience in the future!
