Chapter 608: This Water Gate and Whitebeard Look Familiar

The grand banquet hall was bustling with people.

A large number of top chefs from Engetsu gathered together.

Each was preparing their most skilled dish.

Zhao Linger was also busy here, wearing a white chef's uniform.

She focused intently.

But just as she was about to serve the dish, she heard Su Han's voice, her hand trembled, nearly knocking the entire pot to the ground.

Beside Zhao Linger stood her two teammates, Song Xueming and Xu Yan.

The two cute girls watched as Zhao Linger nearly made such a mistake.

Their cheeks twitched several times.

They didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Zhao Linger quickly regained her composure, poured everything from the pot into a nearby bowl, set the pot down, and finally exhaled in relief.

She turned around and saw Su Han, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

"...... Su Han ge."

Zhao Linger had almost thought she was mistaken, rubbed her eyes, and only after confirming it for real did she fall silent.

"What's going on?...... Captain, isn't this really not the time for catching up?"

Song Xueming frowned and urged, "No matter......

You've run into someone you know, but we still need to finish the mission quickly!"

"...... It won't take long! Just a little while."

Zhao Linger nodded at Song Xueming, then stepped forward, grabbed Su Han's arm, and yanked him off into the distance.

"Su Han ge, you're here because you've become a Reincarnator too?"

"Did you, like us, fail to meet the Main God's requirements in the last mission, and come here to participate in a Punishment Mission after paying enough Redemption Points?"

Su Han: ""

Su Han looked utterly bewildered, but from Zhao Linger's words, he understood that she was here because she was completing some kind of Punishment Mission.

After a brief silence, Su Han grabbed Zhao Linger's arm in return; when she pulled, she couldn't move him at all. She froze, turned around, and studied him, her eyes filled with faint uncertainty.

But then she remembered something, and nodded in understanding.

"It seems! You've truly found a Famen that allows you to enter cultivation, and joined the Reincarnation Space. Indeed...... judging you by the standards of an ordinary person before was my mistake!"

Su Han's lips twitched, and he sighed faintly, "I'm not a Reincarnator at all."

Zhao Linger raised an eyebrow, then suddenly laughed, "Su Han ge! If you're not a Reincarnator, how could you possibly be in this world?"

"Don't overthink it! Although different Reincarnator teams in the same scenario are enemies,

it's not a big problem! We can form an alliance later."

Zhao Linger reassured him, "On my account, my teammates won't give you trouble.

Not to mention, this world is a rather special Punishment Mission stage."

"...... No! Actually...... never mind. Can I ask what your mission is?"

Su Han rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

He didn't even know where to begin explaining, so he shifted the topic instead.

"It's not something worth hiding. Your mission should be similar to mine."

Zhao Linger hesitated, "The mission is...! Enter this world called Shokugeki no Soma, and prepare lavish dishes to satisfy the customers who come."

Zhao Linger's words ended there; at that moment, her eyes went wide as she stared toward the entrance, and a group of people walked in from outside the hall.

Among them were giants seven meters tall, elderly men in ancient Daoist robes, stunning women in Hanfu, ordinary people, but also those who were... not ordinary.

Zhao Linger stared, dumbfounded.

She rubbed her eyes again, and after confirming it, she was completely stunned.

She wondered if she had entered another supernatural world.

"...... Su Han ge! For the rest of the time, you must stay right beside me. The Shokugeki no Soma world...... is probably an extremely rare hidden world in the Reincarnation Space. On the surface, it seems like an everyday event, but in reality, it hides supernatural power."

Zhao Linger's brows were tightly furrowed, and she cursed inwardly.

Damn Main God, an anomaly pops up every two missions on average.

And when an anomaly appears, the Main God doesn't come to fix it — the implication is... they must save themselves.

Reincarnators gain power quickly, a fact that even many masters from the real world fear.

But the key problem is, Reincarnators die often, and total party wipes are common.

They're truly risking their lives.

The risk is far higher than that faced by masters battling in the Earth Caves.

The monk saw the entire hall frozen in silence, wiped sweat from his brow, and glanced nervously at Bai Hu Zi.

Bai Hu Zi's height was indeed too shocking for a world like Shokugeki no Soma.

He had sensed something was off earlier and tried to warn them.

But since everyone insisted on coming, he couldn't risk offending everyone by forcibly stopping them.

Now, seeing the entire hall standing there like wooden statues, he felt a wave of panic.

He felt the national police would show up any moment now.
