Chapter 1273: The Despair of World Leaders in Shiji Zhi Ling

I am the Hou Jue.

Ke La Ke Ken: "!!!"

Let the world feel pain...

Bai Hu Zi: "... Didn't get it? Looks like there were quite a few competitors for this task."

Yi Fang Tong Xing: "Of course there were! The reward for this task is bound to attract many... After all, gaining strength just by eating food? That's incredibly tempting from any angle."

Bai Hu Zi: "Gulalala! True enough—even I just now felt tempted."

Bai Hu Zi laughed, his beard trembling; how could the prospect of strengthening one's physical condition simply by eating food fail to be tempting?

Although the guild can enhance skills through points, it enhances only the skills themselves.

Cannot enhance physical condition or increase stamina through points "six-one-three,"

no matter how many points you accumulate.

I am the Hou Jue: "Hmph... Didn't get it? Fine. I'll leave this task to Luo Hao. I'll continue strengthening my divine authority and boosting my power."

Although the Gourmet Cells hold some appeal for... me, they're not as valuable as points."

Marquis Wo Ban, though deeply disappointed, still pretended not to care.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Eh... When will the old Hou Jue learn to be honest instead of clinging to his pride?"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Exactly! Old Hou Jue, an arrogant old man like you is utterly unattractive."

I am the Hou Jue: "..."

Luo Hao: "Interesting! Leave it to me... Old Hou Jue, to say that suggests your power has grown considerably lately... I'm curious—how much have you grown? How strong have you become to dare speak so boldly before me?"

I am the Hou Jue: "How much have I grown? Hehe, Luo Hao, why not fight and find out?"

Luo Hao: "Is this a challenge to me?"

I am the Hou Jue: "What do you think?"

Luo Hao: "After I complete this task, meet me in the virtual battlefield."

I am the Hou Jue: "Don't you dare back out."

Let the world feel pain...

Xuanwozhang Sect saw Marquis Wo Ban and Luo Hao clash again, and his lips twitched slightly.

He said nothing more.

Just a guild duel, right? Isn't that just the guild's daily routine? There are plenty of combat addicts in the guild.

Xuanwozhang Sect shook his head and ignored it entirely.

Let the world feel pain...: "By the way, Chief, once you arrive in the Shiji Zhi Ling world, remember to livestream!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Have Ti Qie Hui Li livestream herself then."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Wait... Why isn't Ti Qie Hui Li responding now?"

Miss Xia Shizi: "..."

Symbol of Peace: "..."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Let me try—Ti Qie Hui Li."

After waiting a moment, Wu Geng Ti Qie Hui Li still didn't respond, and her heart began to panic.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Wait! If she's not replying, Ti Qie Hui Li must be in real danger!"

Su Xiao Xiao: "It's not that serious! If she were truly in mortal danger, the guild alarm would have sounded immediately."

Su Xiao Xiao: "But right now... Ti Qie Hui Li is just extremely busy and can't respond."

Su Han paused slightly, frowning.

Although the guild alarm hadn't sounded, he still felt uneasy about Ti Qie Hui Li's safety.

Su Xiao Xiao: "If so, then... let's officially begin the task."

Su Han entered the main quest interface and clicked to accept the quest.

In the next instant, brilliant light swirled around him, and Su Han vanished from the room.

... Shiji Zhi Ling world.

At a spacious courtyard of Yuan Yue Academy.

Chefs from countries around the world had gathered here.

Aside from Yuan Yue Academy's native students, who, due to their geographical advantage, were automatically included in this competition.

The other chefs from various nations were all top-tier chefs, the best in their respective countries.

Yet even with their unparalleled culinary skills, all of them now stood here, uneasy and anxious.

On the high viewing platform sat three figures, motionless.

All three had calm expressions: two looked East Asian, one looked Western.

They were Li Xunfei, Shan Tian Yilang, and Jakes.

Though their appearances matched those of Earth humans,

not a single person present regarded them as human.

The reason was the colossal spaceship hanging high in the sky, casting vast, dark shadows over the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Begin your performance."

Shan Tian Yilang laughed, sitting lazily in the left seat.

"Let me warn you: bring your absolute best."

"If my cells are displeased... I'll kill you."

Shan Tian Yilang sat with one leg crossed over the other, speaking lightly, as if joking.

Yet the entire venue fell silent.

Because at the moment Yamada Ichirō finished speaking, everyone felt a suffocating pressure.

Terrifying killing intent spread from Yamada Ichirō's body; every chef on the grand playground broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

Some even swayed unsteadily on their feet.

"Enough!"

Li Xunfei glanced at Yamada Ichirō, his voice low and hoarse: "If you go on, you might disrupt their state. If their state is ruined and the food later isn't... delicious... you know the consequences."

Yamada Ichirō stiffened, stared deeply at Li Xunfei, then shrugged and said nothing.
