Is it because of the king-level bloodline that Meng Shuo mentioned?
Ruan Mingchu has yet to feel the advantage of his mermaid bloodline.
"Bang~ Bang~"
It was his heart beating. For a moment, Ruan Mingchu felt as if his heart had gained self-awareness and was incredibly active.
But it was only for a moment; otherwise, Ruan Mingchu felt he might have had to go to the hospital to avoid sudden death due to a ruptured heart.
Just as Ruan Mingchu breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a faint heartbeat again.
Ruan Mingchu: ? ? ?
Near the original heart, there's something about the size of a thumb that's also jumping around, bouncing quite happily.
At the same time, entirely new blood vessels suddenly formed.
Ruan Mingchu looked into it with his spiritual power and saw that it was filled with a silver liquid.
This has really confused Brother Ruan. What kind of strange creature is a mermaid anyway?
However, Ruan Mingchu discovered that his mental strength had finally broken through the previous barrier, and he also gained a new skill called [Second Wave Disturbance].
Ruan Mingchu activated his skill towards the mermaid closest to him. Immediately afterward, the mermaid's movements faltered for a moment, causing it to miss the action within the water curtain. The mermaid was filled with regret and quickly began to try again.
He didn't realize anyone was interfering with him.
This skill can affect up to one hundred mermaids at the same time, so it's somewhat useful if it's just about preventing them from getting cooking utensils.
But Nguyen Minh Thu's goal was to eliminate them.
Ruan Mingchu got up from where he was and continued to stroll around.
Suddenly, he saw a mermaid performing a difficult somersault and immediately launched a skill at him. The mermaid lost his balance on the skateboard and separated from it.
disuse.
Ruan Mingchu snapped his fingers in his mind. Not bad, but he needed to seize the opportunity. And if others didn't give him this opportunity, the skill would be useless.
If we're going to eliminate teams, the ones posing the greatest threat will be the first to go. And which ones are the most dangerous? Those who have hired a master, of course.
Once the master's work is presented, how can his ordinary dishes possibly catch the judges' eye?
Of course, Ruan Mingchu wasn't the only one who thought of this; almost every team sent out one or two people to look for opportunities to eliminate others.
Ruan Mingchu blended in without drawing attention. The venue was quite spacious, and Ruan Mingchu wandered around, but he only encountered someone with an opportunity to make a move every ten minutes or so, and even then, it wasn't necessarily someone who had hired a master.
One person's strength is really not enough. Ruan Mingchu thought of forming alliances and finding some people to cooperate with.
Ruan Mingchu quickly found three partners. They worked together, with the three of them responsible for attracting the attention of the bodyguards and the third person responsible for the sneak attack.
This model proved effective quickly and was noticed by others who began to imitate Ruan Mingchu and his group.
By the time the second round of the event began, excluding the bodyguards, only about a hundred people were actually participating in the competition.
Ruan Minh Thu was very satisfied with this.
The food culture of the Mermaid Continent and the food culture of Ruan Mingchu's world are not exactly the same; they are completely unrelated.
As relatives of fish, they prefer to eat marine life. Although there are many kinds of delicious food, most of them are seafood.
According to Meng·Chihuo·Shuo's feedback, he really likes human desserts such as cakes, egg tarts, and cream puffs, fried foods such as French fries and fried chicken, and junk food such as spicy strips.
These things don't exist on the Mermaid Continent.
Ruan Minhchu decided to do these things to achieve a surprising victory.
The specific production process will not be described in detail. The audience in front of the water screen in the square was full of confusion about Nguyen Minh Thu’s actions of stirring (whipping) egg whites, preparing a large pot of oil, and rolling the dough in the bright red stuff.
Meanwhile, the mermaids on the scene kept swallowing their saliva, making what they thought were discreet but were actually quite exaggerated movements as they peeked at what Ruan Mingchu was holding.
The second activity lasted a total of five hours, giving everyone ample time to prepare food, and of course, ample time to cause trouble for others.
Tataya is the most beautiful little princess of the white-tailed mermaid clan. Anyway, this event is the domain of her royal chef, so her presence there would only be a hindrance.
So she became the first to cause trouble at the other mermaids' stoves.
Tataya stood in front of Nguyen Minh Thu and said in what she thought was a fierce but actually coquettish tone, "Hurry up and serve me a portion of what you made, or I'll cause trouble!"
It's similar to the "trick or treat" Halloween activity.
Ruan Mingchu looked at her chubby little face and her little hands on her hips. She was quite cute. Considering that her white tail was somewhat similar to his own silver tail, and that he had prepared quite a lot of food, Ruan Mingchu put a little of each item on Tataya's plate.
As Tataya slurped down spicy snacks from her small bowl, Ruan Mingchu noticed that hundreds of eyes were fixed on him.
Especially the ten gazes from the judges' panel, which almost seemed to materialize.
Judges: Is it reasonable to give food to others before we've even had a chance to eat it ourselves?!
Ruan Mingchu, who has been the center of attention since childhood, didn't take it seriously at all, but the cute young masters and ladies all came to him begging for food. What was he doing, causing trouble if he didn't give them food?
For the first time, Nguyen Minh Thu felt that he might be a reincarnation of a culinary master.
It's just that I've never tasted anything so novel, exciting, or uniquely delicious before.
Tataya licked her fingers and put the cake crumbs into her mouth. She liked both the sweet and soft things and the spicy thing from before!
"I want more!" Tataya launched another attack on Nguyen Minh Thu.
The other mermaids who had gathered around shouted, "We want some too!"
Ruan Mingchu: ...
"Oh, no."
Then Nguyen Minh Thu was subjected to psychological attacks.
"Waaaaah."
"Waaaaah."
"Wah wah wah".
"Awoooooo!"
...
Did he come to the site of large animal cubs?
Always tolerant of children, and certain that his creation would get him into the top ten, Ruan Mingchu set aside some for the judges to taste and critique, and pushed the rest away.
"Whoever grabs it gets to keep it."
Then quickly move away.
Very well, this has sparked another conflict.
When Ruan Mingchu brought his food for the judges to try after the event, he felt something was off.
The red-haired judge kept picking up spicy strips and putting them in his mouth, making slurping noises as he said, "They might taste even better when they're hot."
Ruan Mingchu: ...Heh, I know you're making a fuss about it. He kept everything warm, didn't you see the fried chicken was still steaming and crispy? Who eats spicy strips while they're still hot?
Regardless of the process, the spot for the holy water blessing has been secured. Ten days later, someone will lead the top ten, including Nguyen Minh Thu, to the temple to receive the holy water blessing.
In other words, he would be able to recover to his original body in ten days, which made Ruan Mingchu a little excited.
My current height makes everything inconvenient :)
Ruan Mingchu left Fushui Hall with the crowd, and as soon as he came out, he looked around for Mu Yu. In his mind, Mu Yu would definitely be waiting for him nearby.
However, he not only didn't see anyone, but he also didn't see anyone within several hundred meters!
Where did Mu Yu go?
With his powerful mental strength and familiarity with Mu Yu's aura, Ruan Mingchu finally found Mu Yu on the other side of the square.
Standing opposite Mu Yu was a tall and handsome male mermaid, and the two seemed to be chatting and laughing.
When did Mu Yu start smiling at strangers? Ruan Mingchu sounded an alarm in her mind.
He crept over stealthily, using all his skills. Ruan Mingchu didn't know why he was doing it so secretly; he just did it instinctively.
Upon getting closer, Ruan Mingchu overheard the two talking about what he had done during the event, with Mu Yu primarily praising him.
Whew... my heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and my tense muscles relaxed.
After listening for a while, Mu Yu said goodbye to him, saying that he was going to find Ruan Mingchu. The mermaid then invited Mu Yu to go to Huacai Cinema with him to watch a movie.
Mu Yu did not agree, saying that he was not sure if he would have any free time.
The mermaid expressed her regret, saying that she hoped they would meet again someday.
The two then parted ways.
Ruan Mingchu quickly left, then pretended that he had just come from Fushuitang and met up with Mu Yu.
Mu Yu asked, "How did it go?"
Nguyen Minh Thu: "Ten days later, I will go to the temple to receive the blessing of holy water."
Mu Yu: "That's good. It means we'll have to stay here for more than ten days."
“Yes,” Ruan Mingchu’s heart skipped a beat again. He asked tentatively, “Since we don’t have anything else to do, is there anything you want to see or do?”
Mu Yu thought for a moment and said, "There's a movie I'm quite curious about."
But Mu Yu didn't say he wanted to go with Ruan Mingchu, which made Ruan Mingchu wonder. Did Mu Yu want to go to the movies with that stranger, the fish?
Because in Mu Yu's view, whatever he did would definitely be with Ruan Mingchu.
In the evening, Ruan Mingchu treated Meng Shuo to a nice meal, and everyone enjoyed it together.
Meng Shuo: My wallet is breaking.jpg Although the food was really delicious, he ate most of it.
That night, after Mu Yu fell asleep, Ruan Mingchu quietly built a mental barrier for Mu Yu, ensuring that she would not disturb him no matter what she did.
Then Ruan Mingchu got out of bed, took out his terminal, and looked around for a place with a good signal. The stingy Meng Shuo refused to process his internet service, so Ruan Mingchu could only go to the hotel's internet room if he wanted to go online.
In the hallway, Ruan Mingchu was finally able to get a stable internet connection.
The first thing he did was search for Huacai Cinema. He originally wanted to see which movies were currently showing and guess which ones Mu Yu would like.
Surprisingly, the most frequent search results were for advertisements for Huacai Cinema – a perfect dating spot for couples/soon-to-be couples!
No local mermaid would be unaware of this!
Ruan Mingchu's expression was cold, so that dead mermaid wanted to pursue Mu Xiaoyu?
