Chapter 725

"Do you trust the organizers or do you trust me?"

Lin Ye suddenly spoke up, turning to look at all the players.

This was a life-or-death choice.

The players pondered.

"My guests, please trust that we organizers will uphold a fair and just attitude to make the most authentic and correct judgment on the dishes you prepare, and there will never be a shred of unfairness."

The words were flowery,

and very sincere.

"In the first three rounds, did you treat every group of players fairly and justly?"

Lin Ye smiled as he looked at the masked host.

Unless the organizers had been acting fairly and justly from the beginning, no matter what the host said, it was meaningless.

The host answered yes, but the players had seen with their own eyes whether it was fair.

And if the answer was no, and the previous rounds hadn't been, then how could they guarantee fairness and justice for the 'cooking' in the fourth round!

It was already a dead end.

"The rules for the four projects of the Gourmet Sports Assembly are different; for the fourth cooking project, as the evaluators, we will certainly be fair and just, ensuring equal treatment."

But the masked host noticed that Lin Ye smiled, and that smile gave him an even worse premonition.

What was going on?

Was there a problem with what he just said?

There shouldn't be!

This was an explanation he had carefully thought out and decided to say.

"The rules are different; the rules for the four projects are each different. It seems my guess was correct: the rules restricting you organizers for the Gourmet Sports Assembly are also different."

Masked host:???

His heart trembled violently.

His words had confirmed Lin Ye's guess.

"I refuse."

"I also refuse to participate."

Following that came the voices of refusal from the veteran players; at this moment, they had made their judgment.

The masked host was deeply trapped in a situation where 'the more he said, the more flaws he revealed.'

The veteran players had already realized it.

The fact that the rules were different was enough for them to start making associations.

And the most critical point was that if the organizers really were going to deal with players who didn't participate in 'cooking' before the fourth round, they wouldn't have been rambling until now.

The players who failed the second project, 'Brisk Walking,' were directly dismembered by the organizers' staff without a shred of hesitation.

Therefore, the current situation wasn't that the organizers didn't want to use force to kill one to warn a hundred, or kill the chicken to scare the monkey to intimidate the players, but that they couldn't do it.

Since they couldn't do it, then the matter was very simple.

As players, they needed to unite and strive for greater benefits.

According to the judging rules the organizers had given for the fourth project, they had absolutely no possibility of passing.

For the possibility of living, they could only gamble now.

After the veteran players responded, the remaining players also responded one after another.

In the end, all the players chose to refuse to participate in the 'cooking' duel.

The reason was simple: they didn't trust the judges arranged by the organizers, and they determined that the scores given by the judges would seriously fail to meet the principles of fairness and justice.

The masked host, as the representative of the organizers, gritted his teeth in hatred.

It was all that man's fault.

But... there was still a chance.

The masked man stared at Lin Ye and spoke slowly, "Are you sure you want to do this? By giving up on participating, you will forever lose the qualification to clear the stage and leave here."

The words were clear and entered their ears; the players listened, but didn't speak, yet the majority of their gazes were fixed on Lin Ye, waiting for his answer.

"What we are giving up is an unfair competition project."

This was the answer Lin Ye gave.

"If you want us to participate in the fourth cooking project, you need a fair environment."

"I can guarantee it."

"Heh, Mr. Host, do you believe your own words?"

"Of course."

He was truly shameless enough.

"Let's not even talk about the first two projects; in the third project, why did you organizers collect so many red vegetables and fruits, and only red fruits and vegetables, with not a single other ingredient? Don't tell me you picked them before; such fresh fruits and vegetables, I don't believe they were just picked."

At this moment,

Lin Ye exposed them.

The players finally understood how Lin Ye had found so many red ingredients in the final twenty minutes.

It turned out he had looted the organizers' warehouse!

And this was direct evidence.

Of course, the players had long felt that the organizers were targeting Lin Ye, but to target Lin Ye, they had sent people to collect all the red ingredients, attempting to make Lin Ye fail—this was already a seriously unfair act.

If it were any other player, no player would have been able to withstand it.

"Therefore, you organizers acting as judges will never have any fairness to speak of."

"……"

The masked host became anxious in the face of the current situation.

If this dragged on any longer, they would be the ones to suffer.

"The consequences of not participating are not something you can afford."

"Please let me bear them."

"……"

There was simply no way to continue this conversation.

The masked host knew that the possibility of forcing players to accept through threats and other methods was already close to zero.

Unless he could truly provide a punitive error.

"Fine."

The masked host waved his hand.

Two staff members understood and stepped toward Lin Ye step by step.

The two were massive, with bulging muscles; their burly figures exuded a powerful aura, and their thick arms looked as if they could tear everything apart.

'Thump...'

'Thump, thump...'

The footsteps were heavy and continuous.

The two walked over and stood in front of Lin Ye, looking down at him.

Leng Shuang tried to stand in front of Lin Ye, but her hand was pulled by Lin Ye, and she quietly retreated behind him, but her right hand had already gripped the hilt of her sword.

If necessary, she would strike at the fastest speed.

They were just two staff members of the organizers.

No matter how tall and fierce they were, it was meaningless; she would finish them off with one slash.

"Sir, this is your last chance."

"Please come ahead! If any player is to face elimination by the organizers before the project officially starts, let it start with me."

Lin Ye was open and aboveboard.

He knew very well that this was the organizers' final struggle; once this struggle also failed, the organizers' deterrent power would be gone.

Now was the final game of chess between the two sides.

Lin Ye completely ignored the two burly masked men, his calm eyes fixed on the masked host.
