There was a moment when he realized what level of talent could truly be called genius.

The so-called natural talent was meant to describe this terrifying essence and gift that no one could imitate or touch, right?

Just holding a knife, without needing anything else, made people feel the fear of being slaughtered like cattle and sheep.

He finally understood how those three bodies in the rest room had been created, and the strange looks from those people were clearly directed at Luo Xian beside him.

And he had been sitting next to the sleeping Godzilla for a full hour.

He had spent three thousand six hundred seconds teetering on the edge of death.

Huai Shi swallowed hard, reluctantly averted his gaze, and focused on taking out all the tools Crow had prepared for him from his toolbox.

Filter, measuring cup, reaction vessel, ladle, dropper, syringe.

Then came the big items.

A small water bath pot, a light alchemical centrifuge, a complete set of extraction and purification equipment, and a thermos bottle filled with liquid ammonia.

And a series of miscellaneous raw materials.

This was the kitchenware he had to rely on.

More like alchemical equipment than kitchenware.

"What kind of chef is this!" A man in a tattered cloak with festering sores on his face looked up and sneered. "So many tools, are you here to perform acrobatics or cook!"

He sneered at Huai Shi with cold eyes. "Do you think the judges have never seen alchemy before!"

Even the judges on the judging panel couldn't help but frown.

Huai Shi casually opened the materials box provided by the organizer and pulled out a three-meter-long squid covered in thorns, slamming it on the table.

Hearing his words, the man looked up and sneered.

"Have you ever heard of 'molecular cuisine'?"

"..."

Not only the judges but even the audience were dumbfounded.

Damn, molecular cuisine.

So innovative!

In the dark culinary world, with so many cuisines, it was the first time they had seen someone trying to make molecular cuisine.

Even the doubter was stunned, and the fake sores on his face almost fell off. Then he reacted, reattached the fake sores on his face, and just chuckled, retracting his gaze.

The competition continued.

But the competition was completely different from what it had been just a short while ago.

Not just the atmosphere, but also the ingredients and the way other chefs cooked.

There was no need to distinguish. When Huai Shi opened the squid, he found that there was basically no part of it that a normal person could eat.

With just his basic knowledge of alchemy, he could tell that every part of it was filled with deadly poison.

And the way other chefs cooked and the strange seasonings they carried with them, as well as the pungent smell rising from the pot.

The rising flames illuminated sinister and cold smiles.

Rather than saying they were making something unappetizing, it was more like they were considering how to poison the food!

Only Luo Xian was cutting vegetables meticulously, cooking in the pot, and then cutting her own pickled vegetables, as if she was really preparing to make a pot of... pickled fish?

Although his gaze swept around, Huai Shi's movements did not pause at all. He grabbed the knife and chopped the squid into pieces after removing its internal organs.

Then, he heard a sudden rush of wind by his ear.

Without hesitation, Huai Shi raised the blade in his hand and slashed forward.

When the thorn flew over and was cut down out of thin air, he looked at the source of the thorn - the man with festering sores.

He was holding a thorn-covered fish and looked at Huai Shi innocently. "Sorry, my mistake, are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

Huai Shi grinned. "It's just a mistake."

His hands didn't stop moving, and he reached into the materials box with a pair of pliers, pulled out a strange water snake, and slammed it on the cutting board. As he spoke, the blade fell, chopping off the snake's head.

The strange snake head flew up, still spitting venom, and opened its mouth to bite.

Coincidentally, it flew in the direction of the man with festering sores.

"Ah, slipped..."

In Huai Shi's apologetic voice, the man with festering sores dodged in panic, and the snake head flew in an arc, landing in his boiling soup pot.

A foul stench rose from the bone broth that was filled with the scent of milk.

All previous efforts were in vain.

The man with festering sores' expression suddenly twisted, as if he wanted to erupt, but he didn't pounce. He just twitched his expression and resentfully averted his gaze.

It was obvious that, in the eyes of the judges, mutual interference between participants was considered an acceptable behavior, and the audience was more than happy to see the contestants secretly fighting each other.

But directly attacking a participant would be a foul.

Huai Shi raised his eyebrows, feeling like he had figured something out, but he didn't say anything, and continued to focus on preparing his dish.

After dealing with the squid, the next step was the chili.Huai Shi chose the devil pepper from the materials provided by the organizer. It is said that in the border, the real border alien species will plant this kind of pepper that can really kill people with its spiciness.

The organizer undoubtedly provided the best quality.

Huai Shi was already in tears after chopping it down with one knife.

The choking and terrifying smell spread in an instant, almost covering the entire arena, enveloping everyone in a terrifying smell like burning.

After a chaotic chopping, Huai Shi quickly packed the stuff into the bag and sealed it.

Next came the ginger, pepper... piles of heavy stuff poured into the basin, and the whole basin seemed to have turned into a small hell in an instant, surging with all kinds of uncomfortable colors.

The contestants next to him were already dumbfounded.

Molecular cuisine... is this molecular Sichuan cuisine!

At this moment, Huai Shi suddenly felt a blackout in front of him, feeling that his breathing was not smooth, and he started coughing violently.

A sour and bitter smell suddenly surged in the air, spreading in all directions. Wherever it went, the actions of all the contestants were suddenly frozen, feeling the gradual drowsiness and confusion in their consciousness.

Poisonous!

When Huai Shi suddenly looked up, he saw the festering man sneering at him, and the pot of strange-colored thick soup boiling in front of him.

The terrifying smell comparable to poison spread from it, not to mention how terrifying the thick soup was. Even if it was just the residual poison, several contestants quickly fell down, foaming at the mouth.

Soon, they were taken away because they lost their ability to compete.

In an instant, the number of people was reduced by more than half.

Only six remained.

"Sorry, the taste seems a bit strong." The festering man scooped up a spoonful of thick soup with a ladle, sniffed it carefully at the tip of his nose, and looked up at Huai Shi with a mocking smile. "Did it not disturb you?"

"No, it didn't."

Huai Shi still smiled, although his face was covered by a mask, there was no trace of blame or dissatisfaction in his eyes. "The taste here might be a bit strong later... please bear with it."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a syringe.

Aimed at his own neck, he pulled the trigger.

In an instant, a highly effective detoxification agent was injected into his bloodstream and circulated throughout his body.

Seeing his stubborn appearance, the festering man snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze. He wanted to see how long Huai Shi could hold out in his poisonous mist.

Boom!

In front of him, a burst of flames suddenly spewed out from the stove in front of the mad hunter, and countless flies flew out of it, turning into a dark cloud and dispersing.

Immediately after, another contestant lifted the lid of his pot, and countless screaming ghosts flew out of it, rushing frantically in all directions...

With the festering man taking the lead, the entire arena fell into chaos in an instant.

But the audience was excited, shouting loudly to cheer on their favorite contestants, wishing someone would immediately pull out a knife and kill the others.

In the midst of the chaos, Huai Shi seemed to be out of place. The purifying fire flashed past the kitchen knife, cutting off the flies, ghostly phantoms, and other ghostly things that flew over, and then threw the kitchen knife aside, focusing on stirring the spices he had chopped.

Soon, he evenly stirred the spices and placed them on the stove.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

A thread of alchemical fire flowed out from his fingertips, silently blending into the blue flames. Then, Huai Shi put down the kitchen knife, reached out his hand, and conjured a long spear.

When the cross-shaped long spear appeared, Luo Xian seemed to have sensed something, raised her head, and glanced at Huai Shi, her eyes slightly raised.

The phantom of the spear blade was hidden under Huai Shi's palm.

But on the partially materialized blade, a trace of viscous dragon blood fell, entering the spices, quietly blooming into pure white iris flowers.

But immediately, the iris flowers were cut into pieces.

Merging into the spices, they gradually disappeared. Only the fragrant aroma, under the stimulation of the alchemical fire, quietly spread into the noisy smell of the arena, spreading in all directions.

AOE is so cool, right?

Huai Shi smiled. Now, it was his turn.

He increased the firepower in his hand, releasing more floral fragrance from the dragon blood. The sweet fragrance was so conspicuous among the countless foul and pungent smells. When the sweet fragrance spread to the tip of the nose, all the contestants were stunned.

Immediately, they felt an irresistible fatigue and drowsiness emerging from their bodies.

Especially the festering man, who was specially taken care of by Huai Shi.

Eighty percent of the fragrance was secretly directed towards him. He staggered, and his whole body collapsed on the stove, convulsing, half of his face was charred by the fire, looking extremely ferocious.

When he turned his head with difficulty, he saw the pink pig head mask smiling at him.

"Feeling unwell?"

Huai Shi looked at him with concern. "Remember to see a doctor."After the burnt scab fell off, it revealed fair skin and a beautiful profile... Realizing that her disguise was broken, she climbed up from the stove in a sorry state and pulled up the tattered cloak to cover her face.

The look in Huai Shi's eyes was full of coldness and anger.

"Not bad looking, Auntie."

Huai Shi whistled, "You take good care of your skin, can't tell at all that you're over forty..."

Crack!

The sound of teeth breaking or the sound of a cleaver being crushed, it was hard to tell.
