Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1601 The Most Outstanding Chef on Earth

The restaurant hovered in front of the Sea Moth, its glass doors wide open.

Although it's a "mobile restaurant" that La carries with her, it sounds like some kind of food truck or small restaurant.

However, because of La's terrifying size, the restaurant is actually the size of a normal medium-sized store.

The restaurant has a main hall, booths, and private rooms. There are plenty of tables for two, four, and six people, so it can easily accommodate over a hundred customers at the same time.

Of course, perhaps because it's a new restaurant, the decor is quite simple—the walls are covered with large glass windows and dark oak panels, the same material as the floor, with several oil paintings of unknown meaning hanging on them. Most of the paintings depict an octopus with eight arms holding four steel forks, fighting with a large number of shells, or huge shells, or a large number of huge shells.

Faced with such an obvious invitation, it would be unwise to rashly enter someone else's territory...

However, considering that the other party was Hannah's aunt, Lin Yu left the Sea Moth, swam a short distance, and went directly into the mobile restaurant.

Because Lin Yu himself has the ability to breathe underwater, although he felt slightly uncomfortable due to the water pressure in the deep sea when he first left the Sea Moth, he quickly adapted.

"Fishing Guy" Chen Le followed Lin Yu out of the cabin—although he also felt that the Octopus La in front of him was a bit impulsive, but didn't seem to have any malicious intent, he still couldn't let his guard down.

In Chen Le's view, he and "Zhu Ming" came to "Jingxu" together... no matter what, he had to ensure "Zhu Ming's" safety.

This has nothing to do with Fang Qing's entrustment or instructions... In the 'Free Alliance,' it is only natural that those with higher strength protect those with lower strength, and 'Third-Order' protects 'Second-Order'.

Moreover, although Chen Le is only at the 'third rank', 'Fisherman' knows that his strength is the strongest among the 'third rank', and that he is even only 'fourth rank' ahead of him on the leaderboard. Therefore, when taking on responsibilities, Chen Le does not treat himself as a 'third rank'. He assumes that he is already a 'fourth rank' and uses himself as a 'fourth rank'.

Now that Zhu Ming is about to undergo a test, Chen Le naturally won't stay in the submersible by himself.

He didn't know if Zhu Ming would pass the test, nor did he know what the giant octopus would do if Zhu Ming failed.

But Chen Le was certain of...

If this octopus tries to attack Zhu Ming for any reason, he will make the other party understand two things.

First of all, an octopus is also a fish.

Secondly, why do I call myself "Fishing Guy"?

of course……

Chen Le still hoped that things wouldn't escalate to that point—after all, 'Zhu Ming' seemed to really like her little octopus summon.

If he were to actually fight the octopus clan, not only would the other side have the home-field advantage and there would be endless troubles, but Zhu Ming and her octopus summons would also be caught in the middle and would likely face difficulties.

"I wish I could have helped before it got to that point... It's just a pity that I'm not very good at cooking, so I probably wouldn't have been able to help."

Chen Le sighed.

It wouldn't be accurate to say he can't cook at all. As an excellent fishing enthusiast, Chen Le naturally also has some skills in camping and picnicking.

However... because he doesn't crave much food, he mostly eats instant noodles and canned food when fishing in the wild. When he catches a fish, he picks out a few that he doesn't like or that are invasive species, sprinkles some chili powder on them, and grills them...

In short, Chen Le can also say that he "can cook," but his cooking skills are limited to cooking food and adding some seasonings to make it more palatable.

A chess master, a professional Go player, and an elementary school student who has taken two Go lessons can all say they "know how to play Go," but the meaning behind these claims is completely different.

If only the "God of Cookery" were here.

But then, Chen Le suddenly realized something.

"Eh...wait a minute?"

Chen Le suddenly thought of something.

Although the "God of Cookery" isn't here right now, he actually has a way to bring the "God of Cookery" over.

My own [Super Fishing Rod] has the function of "fishing for items across worlds" - I can temporarily fish the 'God of Cookery' over to help 'Zhu Ming' and help 'Zhu Ming' pass the test smoothly!

Thinking of this, Chen Le looked up and gazed at La outside the restaurant.

"Speaking of which... although it's a test for 'Zhu Ming'—she can still ask for help, right?"

“In our world, great and outstanding chefs all have excellent assistants or even an entire team. They are known as the ‘head chef’ of a culinary team,” Chen Le said, organizing his thoughts. “After all, we are not like you, with eight tentacles—you should know that if you only have two hands, sometimes having an assistant is the best way to present a perfect dish, right?”

Chen Le tentatively said.

La readily agreed to Chen Le's words: "Of course... I only care about the taste of the dishes that are served to me in the end—whether she did it independently or with a team is not important."

“As long as this girl has the ability to make delicious food that amazes me, then ‘Ba’ can learn something from her—that’s naturally no problem.”

"Heroes don't need to ask about their origins, and delicious food doesn't need to follow a recipe!"

"If you want to help her, there's no problem."

As La spoke, Chen Le laughed.

"Really? That's wonderful..."

“I’m not going to help her myself, I’m going to find her an assistant.”

The part most likely to cause problems has been resolved.

Although he had never fished a live person before, Chen Le, as a member of the "Freedom Alliance," thought it was a small matter.

As long as you choose the right "bait"... you should be able to succeed in at most three tries!

Considering that he, as a seasoned angler, might be overly optimistic about the success rate of fishing, Chen Le decided to be more conservative in his estimation—at the very least, he should be able to succeed in five attempts.

Thinking of this, Chen Le looked at Lin Yu and lowered his voice.

“Zhu Ming… I have a way to get ‘Junzi’ over here temporarily to help you get through this test. You can pretend to be researching ingredients or boiling some water, and do some meaningless steps to stall for time.”

"When he comes, you can either let him guide you on how to operate it or sneakily take over directly."

As Chen Le spoke, Lin Yu heard his words and looked at the enthusiastic fisherman.

Lin Yu understood after a moment's thought...

"Junzai" probably refers to the "God of Cookery".

This was the first time he had heard the nickname "God of Cookery." Perhaps calling someone "God of Cookery" in the Pure Ruins, especially in front of someone like La who seemed to be a very passionate cooking enthusiast, might arouse excessive suspicion in the other party. That's why Chen Le called him that.

Although Lin Yu didn't know how Chen Le could contact the "God of Cookery" even though he was already inside the "Pure Ruins Realm," and even temporarily invite him over...

However, considering that he himself has received a "guest appearance invitation," it's not surprising that the Fisherman, as the strongest "Tier 3," has a similar ability.

but……

“Thank you for your kindness, Brother Le,” Lin Yu gently patted “Fisherman” Chen Le on the shoulder, “but… I don’t need it.”

Chen Le was somewhat surprised: "You don't need it... what does that mean?"

Lin Yu said, "Because I'm actually quite good at cooking—I'll use my skills to prove to 'Ba's' aunt that I'm worthy of Hannah following me."

"Hannah has indeed learned a lot about cooking from me."

As Lin Yu spoke, Chen Le was stunned.

"You can...cook?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, perhaps not as proficient as the 'God of Cookery,' but it's enough for me."

As they spoke, Lin Yu and Chen Le had already crossed the restaurant's lobby and arrived at the entrance to the kitchen next to the food serving area.

La lifted her mobile restaurant a little higher, holding it level in front of her.

Looking through the restaurant's glass, La said, "I've already prepared the ingredients and cooking utensils inside... I know about the chefs in your world, and the furnishings inside have been set up to suit their habits. Go in and take a look."

"If there are no problems, let's begin."

Lin Yu glanced at La outside the window.

"Since you put it that way, I have no problem—no need for confirmation, let's get started."

As he spoke, Lin Yu pushed open the kitchen door and walked in.

The kitchen was quite spacious, and as La had said, it was filled with all sorts of Chinese and Western cooking utensils, which Lin Yu was quite familiar with.

It has all kinds of pots and pans, as well as high-end products such as ovens, steamers, and even molecular gastronomy machines.

And placed in the most prominent position in the middle of the kitchen... are the "ingredients" arranged on a tray.

It was also a test that La gave to Lin Yu—a whole bunch of golden shellfish, a specialty of Jingxu, that looked somewhat like large clams but that Lin Yu had never seen before.

At this moment, Hannah leaned on Lin Yu's shoulder, and after the kitchen door closed automatically, Hannah couldn't help but say something.

"Quack! Boss... are you really okay? Do you really have superb cooking skills?"

"Not yet, but... if you ask whether there will be any problems passing the 'test', the answer should still be no."

As Lin Yu spoke, he stood before the golden shellfish.

"After all... while I don't need the 'God of Cookery' to help me, it doesn't mean I can't find help myself."

Hannah asked curiously, "Quack! Boss... what kind of helper are you looking for?"

"Of course, he is the best chef in our world, in my personal opinion."

Lin Yu said this as if it were a matter of course, and pulled it out from the [Item Space]...

A kitchen knife.
