Chapter 730

"Host, why did you bring people up here?"

"That is, of course..."

The masked host laughed, "To give you guests a chance; as long as a guest kills a failed guest, we can remind you how to choose the correct, non-toxic ingredient."

He spoke directly of toxicity, indicating that there was poison in the ingredients.

The players' expressions changed one after another.

Kill someone to obtain information about the ingredients.

Many players were somewhat tempted; sacrificing others to obtain their own safety was not something they couldn't accept at all.

Moreover, these were already failures of the Gourmet Assembly;

even if they didn't kill them, they wouldn't be able to live and would only die anyway.

If they killed them, perhaps they could exert their remaining value.

And some players thought of something and found a loophole.

"Of course, first of all, the spots are limited; there are only five chances, only five! Secondly, to ensure that other guests won't follow suit, the player group that chooses to kill will receive our reminder and relevant information at the very end."

This dashed the thoughts of the few players who were prepared to follow the killing players to choose ingredients.

This time, the organizers didn't mention that each group of players' ingredient selection couldn't conflict with other players, so it was possible for multiple groups to choose repeatedly.

"By the way, supplementary information: for each ingredient selection, there can be at most two; that is, if a certain ingredient has already been chosen twice by guests, other players will not be able to choose it."

A trap!

"Two-thirds of the ingredients here have problems; I hope you dear readers open your eyes wide and use all your vision, knowledge, and intuition to choose the correct ingredients."

Choose?

How to choose?

These ingredients looked a bit familiar at first glance, but looking closely, they were completely novel ingredients of the 'you recognize me, but I don't recognize you' variety.

They had no idea where the organizers had found such special ingredients.

Especially when a player saw a gray, radish-like vegetable that had a human face,

they thought it just grew like that, but the closed eyes on the face opened, and there was even a smile.

Was this a plant or an animal?

Suddenly, many players were dumbfounded.

And another mushroom, with its colorful appearance, made it hard not to suspect it was poisonous.

For fungal ingredients, the brighter the color, the higher the toxicity; this was a universal rule in reality.

The ingredients here all felt problematic at first glance.

They now felt it would be better to choose blind boxes; they wouldn't have to struggle at all, and whatever they chose was what they got, without having to worry.

Whoever used a poisonous ingredient was just unlucky.

The next sentence

made many players exclaim again.

"As a chef, you must taste the dish before serving it for the judges to taste."

This made the players who had decided not to eat the dishes they made change their expressions.

They had decided not to eat the dishes they made; as long as they didn't eat the dishes, they wouldn't have to worry about whether the ingredients were poisonous.

But,

this sentence from the organizers left them not knowing what to do.

If it were usual, they would trust the organizers; the organizers were the rule-makers in their eyes, and they should do whatever the organizers said.

But having experienced what just happened, they didn't know whether they should believe this statement from the organizers.

Perhaps they didn't need to eat the dishes at all; this rule was just the organizers fooling them, just to scare them, nothing more.

But once it was true, if they violated the agreement, their end would definitely not be pleasant!

It was a dilemma.

Believe or not believe.

Of course, the best method was to choose ingredients that were absolutely non-toxic.

As long as the ingredients were non-toxic, the dishes they made would have absolutely no problems.

But how to find them?

This was the biggest difficulty.

Many players' wills began to waver.

Should they... kill someone?

As long as they killed someone, they could obtain information about non-toxic ingredients.

The masked host captured the change in the atmosphere at the scene; the failure and depression of a moment ago were replaced by a smile.

As long as Lin Ye didn't participate, the rhythm of the scene was still firmly under his control.

Now, facing the ingredients, Lin Ye had no way at all.

Unless Lin Ye could clearly identify which ingredient was poisonous and which was non-toxic.

But Lin Ye wasn't from here, so how could he possibly recognize all the toxicity of the ingredients?

"Time is limited; is there any guest willing to take action? They are all failures who didn't pass the assembly project; their end was death anyway. If you finish them off now, you are actually giving them relief. After all, falling into our hands means life worse than death, with only pain and torture. If you finish them off now, you are ending their suffering in advance."

Full of inducement.

Not only did Lin Ye hear it, but many players at the scene heard it too.

But for those players who were already tempted, this added a sense of justice and reason to their actions.

It could reduce their moral burden and reduce their own sense of guilt and shame.

But now,

still no player took that step.

No one wanted to be the first.

"Mr. Zero,"

The masked host suddenly turned to look at Lin Ye and took the initiative to speak.

"If Mr. Zero takes action, the organizers can provide special care and give five pieces of information; then Mr. Zero can tell whoever he wants, and if he specifies the object, we will inform them."

Damn,

if Lin Ye took action, he could obtain five pieces of information.

Was this the organizers trying to lure Lin Ye into taking action?

No, it wasn't temptation, but rather preparing to force Lin Ye to take action through the moral kidnapping of the other players.

Lin Ye had always maintained a good image of 'thinking for everyone,' and now, the masked host wanted to destroy this image of Lin Ye in the players' hearts.

Whether Lin Ye did it or not, his image would collapse.

And this was exactly what the masked host needed.

The players who already had the idea of taking action all had their gazes fall on Lin Ye.

They were looking forward to Lin Ye making a decision.

But seeing Lin Ye had no reaction, they couldn't help but exchange glances, with a vague urging aura, hoping Lin Ye would agree.

Lin Ye taking action alone could obtain five pieces of information; this was an absolutely worthwhile thing.

"No interest."

But the sentence that followed from Lin Ye made the players pause.

A clean and direct refusal, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Zero, Brother Zero, how about... you take action, but I can bear the responsibility; it's better to have one less death."

"We don't want to take action either, but they were going to die anyway; if they don't die now, they will suffer more torture later."

"If I hadn't been chosen by the host, I would definitely have agreed."

……

Some players couldn't help but persuade him.

Even if they had concerns, they still spoke up.

Compared to taking action themselves, it was better to have someone else do it!

Lin Ye scanned them, "No interest whatsoever. At the same time, I clearly state here: whoever is prepared to use the method of killing to obtain information about ingredients will not receive any help from me in the subsequent official projects."

This was Lin Ye's opposition.

This sentence made the eyes of the few failed guests who were bound and gagged overflow with tears; they almost wanted to cry. ===== CHAPTER 731 =====
