Chapter 705

"How could that be! You are truly special,"

The host shook his head and continued, "In the three Gourmet Sports Meets held so far, there has never been a guest like you. You could be the first guest since the inception of the Gourmet Sports Meet to achieve this level."

"As for the other guests, who among them isn't acting for their own sake? Not actively sabotaging other players is already a sign of goodwill and doing quite well. Unlike you, guest, who even actively helps other guests, allowing so many of them to clear the stage and survive until now."

The Gourmet Sports Meet is, by nature, a competition.

Yet Lin Ye had absolutely no intention of competing; instead, he actively provided help, completely changing the style of the previous two Gourmet Sports Meets.

How could the masked man, the host, not be amazed by this!

However,

everything ends here.

No matter how kind one is, now that the project requirements haven't been met, one must be eliminated.

Inexplicably,

the masked host felt a tiny bit of regret.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't have been much of a problem for Lin Ye to take first place, perhaps even first in every single event—an unprecedented achievement in the big city.

It's just a pity that... everything ends here.

"Thank you."

Lin Ye expressed his thanks.

"Then, guest, it is now your turn to submit your ingredients,"

the masked host said.

Everyone's gaze converged on Lin Ye.

The newcomers knew Lin Ye hadn't found any ingredients,

and Leng Shuang and Nakiri Erina were naturally the same.

They all didn't know where Lin Ye was going to get ingredients that met the requirements.

But they were willing to trust Lin Ye.

There were still over twenty minutes left before time ran out;

they still had time.

"Does it have to be now?"

"Of course not, you only need to submit them before the stipulated time,"

he said, looking at Lin Ye, "However, I see that neither you nor your companions seem to have found the ingredients that meet the requirements—red vegetables or fruits."

He looked around; no one had found any.

"We don't have them now, but we will in a moment."

"Oh!"

The masked host suddenly thought of something, "Guest, are you planning to wait for the other players to return and trade ingredients with them?"

Placing hope in other guests?

Might as well come and beg them.

Hahaha.

This guy is at the end of his rope; he has no other way.

The masked host wanted to laugh even more.

This third project—this guy won't pass it. Making you go against us, making you play tricks on us—this is the fate you deserve.

The laughter in his heart grew more intense.

"Host, that's a good method."

Masked man:???

You haven't even thought of this method yet! Then what are you planning to do!

The masked man couldn't help but think.

"I was originally planning to go look for them, but now it seems that by waiting here, perhaps I can wait for the ingredients I need to arrive."

Silence.

Total silence.

Leng Shuang and Nakiri Erina both almost felt that Lin Ye's mind had been affected by the Eerie and he had fallen into a muddled state.

Otherwise, how could this situation have occurred?

"A joke, just a joke."

Lin Ye laughed,

which made Leng Shuang and Nakiri Erina breathe a sigh of relief. As team members, they shared in Lin Ye's glory and shame; if Lin Ye didn't find the ingredients, their outcome would be the same, and it wouldn't be any better.

And they were now certainly feeling the malice from the masked host.

This guy was doing it on purpose; he had known all along they hadn't found the ingredients, so he kept causing trouble—praising them first, and surely intending to mock them ruthlessly later.

Disgusting, vile, extremely vile.

A guy like this really is best off dead.

Leng Shuang clenched her hands; her hands were itching. If possible, she really wouldn't mind killing and completely burying this vile host.

"So it was a joke, I see. I thought you really intended to adopt my method. Although my method is easy, it's not necessarily effective. Who knows if the guests returning later will carry ingredients that meet the requirements!"

Impossible.

It is impossible for any ingredients meeting the requirements to be in the hands of the players.

Your 'Hunting' in this third project can only end in failure.

He was looking forward to Lin Ye's painful expression after time ran out; he wanted even more to see Lin Ye crying and begging for mercy.

To have a human as powerful as Lin Ye show this side of himself—

what a satisfying and happy thing that would be.

Even thinking about it now, he felt a thrill throughout his body; it was incredibly comfortable.

"What if there are some!"

"That's true too. I suggest you leave one companion here to wait, while you and the other companion head into the dense forest to look for ingredients. There are only twenty minutes left until the end; I believe you can do it."

This host's attitude was unusually good,

making many of the watching players wonder if the host had really changed his nature. Why was he so friendly, even actively suggesting methods? It was completely different from his previous behavior.

"Nakiri, you stay here. Miss Leng, you come with me."

The content of these words once again changed the atmosphere at the scene.

Really returning to the dense forest to look for ingredients? How could that possibly be found?

There were only twenty minutes left!

"Okay."

Leng Shuang agreed directly.

Nakiri Erina's heart was filled with constant doubts and many worries, but she held back and didn't ask.

Asking was meaningless; besides wasting time, it served no purpose.

It was better to just trust Lin Ye.

How could an old player like Lin Ye not have a backup plan?

He must have already found a way to solve it.

Soon,

under the gaze of the crowd, the figures of Lin Ye and Leng Shuang disappeared from view and entered the dense forest.

"They left, they actually left."

"Brother Zero actually didn't find the ingredients."

"Those ingredients were probably targeted by the organizers!"

"Very likely. From the very beginning, I felt the organizers' targeted attitude toward Brother Zero."

……

The players discussed it, sighing.

With less than twenty minutes left, how could they possibly find the needed ingredients?

Lin Ye probably wouldn't pass this round; it was inexplicably sad.

They had, after all, received care from Lin Ye.

Several of the old players among them had complicated feelings.
