Chapter 721

Among them, several new players realized that with the death of the veteran players, they would have to rely on themselves for the upcoming projects.

Having escaped with their lives last night without being held accountable by Zero, they felt deeply fortunate, but their hearts sank at the thought of the dangers the subsequent projects would entail.

They were unlikely to pass the projects that followed.

"We cannot give up,"

"Don't panic,"

"Even without the storm, we can still do it; at the very least, we can successfully clear the stage,"

……

They did not want to give up just yet.

Once they gave up, there would truly be no hope left.

They did not want to die here.

Early morning, the sunlight was gentle.

Everyone began to eat a simple breakfast, which had been specially prepared the night before; many players had intentionally cooked extra while preparing their meals last night to save for the following day.

Lin Ye ate the cold meat and fruit, which was no big deal to him.

With the superpower Devour in hand,

eating posed no problem for him whatsoever.

Leng Shuang chewed slowly and deliberately, while Nakiri Erina ate in silence; once upon a time, as a young lady, she had never experienced eating such leftovers.

Even if she were willing, her God Tongue would not be.

But now, she found that her God Tongue seemed willing as well, becoming capable of accepting dishes of ordinary taste.

Her standards were lowering, and she didn't even know how to evaluate it.

Ten-odd minutes later,

the masked host, who had disappeared after leaving last night, appeared once again.

Bathed in the morning sun, he wore a white suit today, with the same mask on his face, concealing his features.

"Good morning, good morning, my respected guests, good morning!"

Good?

What was so good about it?

They were here, living in fear every minute and every second, terrified of when they might drop dead.

They were not doing well at all.

"It seems my guests are not doing so well; it looks like I need to do something to make my guests feel better."

The masked host's smiling words made many players' hearts tremble.

This was likely not a good thing.

He was probably going to make them pay for something!

"So, my guests, are you doing well?"

"Good!"

"Very good,"

"Extremely good."

One player after another responded.

They were dissatisfied, but they replied nonetheless.

Who would dare not to? This host frequently engaged in these terrifying segments; although they didn't know if they were real or not, they couldn't afford to gamble. After all, if they lost the gamble, their end would not be pleasant.

Only a few veteran players remained as steady as Mount Tai, completely unmoved.

They chose to ignore the masked host's tactics entirely.

"Hey, hey, good is good, but Mr. Lin, you don't seem to think it's good!"

The masked host's gaze pierced directly at Lin Ye; he was staring right at him.

"I was attacked last night and almost lost my life; how could I be doing well? You organizers have been seriously negligent in your security work, and I strongly demand that you organizers take responsibility."

Lin Ye not only refuted him but directly counterattacked, demanding compensation from the organizers.

This attitude made many players exclaim at Lin Ye's boldness and ferocity.

At this moment, the entire audience's attention was once again focused on the two of them.

They didn't dare to breathe, terrified of breaking the eerie state between the two.

"Isn't the guest perfectly fine?"

"Does being fine mean you don't need to take responsibility?"

"We organizers are not responsible for security work; we do not interfere in conflicts between guests."

They didn't intervene, didn't get involved.

The masked host even wanted to shout 'very good' a few times.

Last night, he had anticipated that some players wouldn't be able to resist and would strike at Lin Ye, but unfortunately, those two veteran players were counter-killed, proving completely useless.

This was the most infuriating thing for the masked man.

Trash.

Absolute trash; they couldn't even succeed in a sneak attack and didn't manage to scratch a single hair. What use were those two!

"Your side is truly of no use at all."

The host's mouth twitched.

"That's not right, you are still of some use."

Lin Ye's smile immediately made the masked host realize what Lin Ye meant.

It was the red fruits and vegetables.

They had collected that massive quantity of fruits and vegetables, only for Lin Ye to loot them all to submit for the mission.

Realizing this, the masked host gritted his teeth in hatred.

He would rather Lin Ye have struggled through great hardship to find red ingredients than see Lin Ye snatch their collected ingredients to complete the task.

The latter was an act of pure, unadulterated mockery.

The masked host didn't know how Lin Ye knew, but based on Lin Ye's past performance, he guessed that Lin Ye had likely deduced it from the fact that 'they were targeting him.'

But Lin Ye was likely the only player who would dare to do such a thing in the final twenty minutes.

In future Gourmet Sports Assemblies, it would be hard to see such players again.

"As the coordinating body for the Gourmet Sports Assembly, we organizers are certainly useful; please rest assured of that."

The masked host continued with a chuckle, "The fourth project of the Gourmet Sports Assembly, which is also the final project, is now officially announced."

The final project?

So soon.

Many players had assumed there would be at least two more projects.

The few veteran players who were trying to make a final push to win the Gourmet Sports Assembly realized that their chances of taking first place were almost zero.

As long as Lin Ye performed normally and didn't run into any major issues, he was guaranteed to be first.

Eight hundred Eerie Coins, gone!

Their hearts were bleeding.

The veteran players were extremely distressed.

"It is called 'Cooking'; how could the Gourmet Sports Assembly not have a cooking segment?"

This did not surprise the players.

They had basically all guessed that cooking would be a project.

It had just come a bit early.

"Delicious cooking is a precious experience and enjoyment; I believe the guests are now sharpening their knives, extremely excited, and very eager to personally make delicious dishes, but please, calm down."

He waved his hand, signaling the excited players to quiet down.

The chefs among the newcomers who had survived until now were very excited and happy; they finally had a stage to showcase their skills.

Nakiri Erina had been waiting for this day for who knows how long.

She had to make a top-tier delicious dish and take first place in one fell swoop; otherwise, she would not be a chef with the God Tongue.

"There are rules for this cooking project."

He held up his first finger.

"First, the time limit is two hours." ===== CHAPTER 722 =====
