Chapter 722

"Second, you cannot snatch ingredients from others."

"Third, the theme of this cooking project is meat dishes."

"Fourth, the organizers will randomly provide one ingredient, and every cooking group must use this ingredient."

……

……

Aside from the second and fourth rules which required caution, the other two rules were not much of a problem.

Time and theme were normal in any cooking competition.

But what ingredient would the organizers provide?

It certainly wouldn't be a normal ingredient.

Many players thought as much.

Nakiri Erina, on the other hand, felt her fighting spirit ignited.

"No matter what the ingredient is, I will definitely make a delicious dish."

The blonde girl made up her mind.

On the stage, the masked host looked around and spoke slowly, "Guests, if you have any questions, you may raise your hand."

This time, the host unexpectedly took the initiative to allow players to ask questions.

Before long, a player raised their hand, "How will this cooking duel be scored? What is the standard?"

For the first three projects, the first two were based on completion time, and the third was based on quantity.

So, what would determine the victory and scoring for the fourth cooking project?

If it was based on a time limit, they could completely ignore the taste of the dish and just submit it as quickly as possible.

This time, they had to know the judging criteria.

"The scoring for the cooking will naturally be based on taste."

The masked host continued, "This time, the scoring will be based on the evaluations of seven judges; each judge can award 0 points, 1 point, or 2 points."

"And these scores will be counted towards the total score."

"In other words, for this cooking project, guests can obtain a high score of up to fourteen points."

Fourteen points.

That was a very high score!

If any of them got fourteen points,

and Lin Ye only got a low score of ten or less, they would have a chance to reverse the situation and leap into first place.

An opportunity,

it had arrived!

Many veteran players became excited.

They were well aware that Lin Ye was being targeted by the organizers; in a judgment with such high subjective intent, the possibility of Lin Ye getting a high score was very low.

But the possibility of getting a low score was very high, quite high indeed.

They even,

felt that the organizers might even give Zero a zero score.

To retaliate for Lin Ye's actions thus far.

It could only be said that Lin Ye would ultimately fail at the hands of the organizers.

The veteran players were overjoyed.

Their opportunity.

Many new players felt regret for Zero.

Lin Ye,

naturally, realized this too.

Leng Shuang and Nakiri Erina could also think of it.

Unfair, extremely unfair; if it were truly like this, then their defeat in this project was already sealed.

Nakiri Erina was filled with indignation; facing this reality, even if she could make a divine dish, she couldn't change their defeat in the fourth project.

She had the ability but no possibility of winning.

"I have a question."

Nakiri Erina immediately raised her hand.

"Please speak."

"How can you guarantee fairness?"

Nakiri Erina stared at the host, "The judges are all your people; how can you guarantee your fairness, and that you will treat us fairly and justly?"

This question,

the host had anticipated; he smiled slightly and spoke slowly, "Please rest assured, we will definitely make a correct evaluation."

A correct evaluation?

Heh heh heh.

Wasn't this clearly stating that it wouldn't be fair and just?

Lin Ye patted Nakiri Erina on the shoulder, "Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry."

But Nakiri Erina was fuming, and she might explode with anger in the next second.

"But all seven judges are people from the organizers; I absolutely do not believe they won't discriminate."

"Guest, you are questioning our character."

"You have character? In the first three projects, were you fair and just?"

Absolutely not.

They didn't know about other groups for now, but their Group 26 had been targeted the whole time; if it weren't for Lin Ye's ability to turn the tide, Group 26 would have been eliminated long ago.

"Of course."

The masked host said with full confidence.

This shameless appearance made many players call him shameless.

They didn't even have a shred of shame, but thinking about the possibility that the other party wasn't human, they understood.

If they weren't human, where would they have character or know shame!

Absolutely none.

"I am thinking about one thing."

Lin Ye's words immediately drew everyone's attention.

He had already become the core among the players, and his every move affected the players' hearts.

"Guest, what are you thinking about?"

"Up until now, you haven't said what the passing score is."

Lin Ye's words made everyone pause.

It seemed... that was indeed true.

But this was the fourth cooking project, the final project; was there even a need for a passing score?

"The maximum score is 14; below what score will one be eliminated? Mr. Host, I think you need to answer this question."

"……"

"Players who don't pass will be eliminated, right! You organizers are planning to eliminate all of us players, aren't you!"

The mention of elimination immediately panicked all the players.

Even the veteran players were the same.

Their previous happiness was based on the premise that the organizers were only targeting Lin Ye, but now, they vaguely felt that the organizers seemed to be targeting all of them.

"Guest, you are overthinking it."

"I'm overthinking it?"

Lin Ye smiled, "First place gets eight hundred Eerie Coins; even if I'm not first and get eliminated, there will still be a group that becomes first and receives the eight hundred Eerie Coins."

"And you, who don't want to suffer this loss, how can you reasonably, legally, and compliantly keep the eight hundred Eerie Coins?"

At this point.

Everyone suddenly realized. ===== CHAPTER 723 =====
