“What’s up?”
Upon hearing Zhao Chen mention another matter, Qin Lang got a bit interested.
Qi Xiaoyu by his side also put up an attentive look, ready to listen.
“Look!” Zhao Chen pointed at the towering skyscraper behind him, “What is it?”
“It’s the Shi Qi Commercial Building.” Qi Xiaoyu pointed at the wall of the building, “Doesn’t it have the words ‘Shi Qi’ written all over it?”
Qin Lang on the side also nodded in agreement.
The Shi Qi Commercial Building is one of the Shi Qi Group’s properties.
The Shi Qi Group is one of the commercial giants in the Food Spirit World. Not just in the Samiya region, where Tianhua State is located, but even in other regions, it has its presence.
This business conglomerate spans various fields and has a significant impact on the Food Spirit World.
“Exactly, this is the Shi Qi Commercial Building!” Zhao Chen nodded assertively, “Did you notice that there are exceptionally more people visiting the Shi Qi Commercial Building today?”
“Indeed.” Qui Xiaoyu looked around at the crowded people with surprise, “1 come here often, but normally there aren’t so many people.”
“It’s a weekday now, but there are more people here than on holidays.”
“Maybe they’re having some sort of discount or promotional event today?” Qi Xiaoyu guessed.
“Yes, there is an event, but it’s not a sale.” Shaking his head, Zhao Chen magically pulled out a leaflet.
“Ta-da~”
“In half an hour, the Shi Qi Group will host a fun competition at the top floor of the Shi Qi Commercial Building!”
“Registration for this fun competition is still open.”
“Let’s join together!”
“A fun competition?” Qi Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up immediately. “What’s it about?”
Meanwhile, Qin Lang on the other side was stroking his chin, displaying a pondering expression.
A so-called fun competition is a non-official event, different from training or cooking contests.
The competition could either be Food Fight, Spirit Battle, or other fun competition methods.
However, fun competitions can be of two types: those authorized by the Spirit Chef Association and those not authorized.
The Spirit Chef Association authorizes fun competitions mainly based on the qualifications of the organizer.
Once the qualifications meet the standard, they will authorize the fun competition and send representatives to supervise the competition.
The advantage of being authorized is that like the official competitions, you can also earn Star Power in fun competitions. If the competition is not authorized, it is just a common competition event.
The fun competition hosted by the Shi Qi Group certainly qualifies for authorization.
Therefore, the fun competition is somewhat tempting to Qin Lang.
However, Dan Bao is just a one-star Food Spirit. If the competition demands skill strength, he won’t stand a chance to win.
Plus, he is in the preparation stage of the second round of the cooking contest’s elimination competition.
Being distracted by participating in the fun competition…
It doesn’t seem like a good idea, does it?
While Qin Lang was troubled, Zhao Chen gave a sly grin and said, “This fun competition hosted by the Shi Qi Group is only open to rookie Spirit Chefs who have registered their first Food Spirit less than a month ago.”
“Hm?” Qin Lang lifted his head suddenly.
If that’s the case, there’s no worry about lacking in skill strength.
However, regarding the time…
He’s still a bit distracted.
Seeing Qin Lang’s distracted expression, Zhao Chen had a face like “I told you so” and continued, “The content of this fun competition isn’t Food Fight or Spirit Battle, it’s a competition called the Tacit Challenge.”
“Both the Spirit Chef and the Food Spirit need to complete corresponding tasks. With tacit cooperation, they race a route full of challenges towards the finish line.”
“The first one to arrive will be the winner of the competition.”
“But that’s not the point!” Zhao Chen waved a finger, showing a mysterious smile, “Do you know what the first prize of this fun competition is?”
“What is it?” Qi Xiaoyu quickly asked.
Being a busybody herself, she was already itching to participate after hearing this.
“The prize for this fun competition is…” Zhao Chen paused for a moment, “A Mind Stone.”
“What?!” Qi Xiaoyu’s eyes widened, “You mean the Mind Stone that, if worn during the Food Spirit’s star ascension, ensures a hundred percent awakening of mind-type war skills, and is worth a million and is priceless?”
“Yes, that’s the one!” Zhao Chen nodded, looking at Qin Lang.
He heard with his own ears that Qin Lang had already begun planning his Food Spirit’s second combat skill.
If you’re interested in mind-type skills, you certainly won’t refuse a Mind Stone, will you?
Anticipation began to build in Zhao Chen’s heart.
Join me in the fun competition for the third face-off!
The reason he was able to receive the Spirit Executor’s Badge for the third time, after three consecutive tests by the Spirit Executor’s, was because he and his Food Spirit had undergone lengthy and torturous special training!
The first Spirit Executor’s Badge indeed had a lower difficulty level to obtain, but it certainly was not an easy feat.
Zhao Chen was able to get it because he had indeed made significant progress in his skills!
He was no longer the person he was during the second encounter!
And as for Qin Lang, he must have neglected the training of his Food Spirit while preparing for the cooking contest.
Allow me to push you forward, my arch-rival!
As he thought this, Zhao Chen’s eyes began to sparkle with anticipation.
Qin Lang blinked.
In his mind, the phrase “worth a million and priceless” echoed over and over.
Dan Bao blinked its eyes.
It’s mind echoed with “hundred percent awakening of mind-type war skills”.
“Count me in!”
“Chicka-chick!”
Both the man and his spirit responded without hesitation.
“I’m number seventeen!”
In the competition venue set up at the rooftop of Shi Qi Commercial Building, Qi Xiaoyu, who had just finished her registration, flashed a grin, “My birthday is on the 17th, this must be a good omen!”
She looked at her Food Spirit fluttering beside her and nodded firmly.
She would not lose in the tacit challenge!
“Hmm,” Zhao Chen crossed his arms, revealing the number pinned on his chest, “Number sixteen marks the birthday of Yangyang. So that’s my lucky number, I’ll be the one to claim first place!”
Ignoring these two, Qin Lang strapped an eighteen-numbered card to his waist and began going over the competition rules on a board near the entrance with Dan Bao.
This fun competition could be broadly divided into three challenges: blindfolded ball catching, obstacle overcoming, and free sprinting.
All the participating Spirit Chefs start from a common starting point, complete these three challenges in order, and can move on to subsequent challenges without waiting for other competitors.
The first one to complete these challenges and reach the finish line will be the winner.
A moment later, the loudspeakers on the pitch came to life.
“Ding— ”
“Would all 23 contestants please prepare yourselves!”
“The authorized fun competition hosted by the Shi Qi Group – the Shi Qi Cup Rookie Tacit Challenge is about to begin!”
