Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard the comments from the square head.
The other party has no grudge against him and is a creature from the demon world, so there is no reason for him to target him. So that is what he really thinks in his heart. If this is the case, this Red Dust Jade Dew will probably not be able to reach three stars.
Because the other party's evaluation was not as casual as Jinzun Hou's, but was well-reasoned and pointed out all the shortcomings of Hongchen Yulu.
Sure enough, after hearing Squarehead’s comments, the next few judges all gave it two stars.
There are nine judges in total, one with three stars, five with two stars, and three who haven't started tasting yet.
In order to reach the three-star standard, more than half of the judges must give three stars, so the last three do not need to be evaluated, the grade of this jade dew has already been determined.
However, naturally no one wanted to miss the opportunity to taste such delicious food, and in the end the three of them poured themselves a glass to taste it, and even the big-mouthed fur ball gave it a three-star rating.
"Final level, two stars!"
The manager in charge of handling the matter reported the results and then gave Chen Lin a reward.
Everyone below seemed a little disappointed.
This kind of competition does not have rankings, nor does it distribute rewards according to ranking, so naturally no one will gloat over it. Instead, people hope that the judges will go easy on them and make the subsequent assessment easier.
Chen Lin was even more disappointed.
There is a huge difference between two stars and three stars, which means he has missed out on a lot of benefits. Moreover, this loss is not temporary. If he opens a store, it will always affect his income.
However, there was no chance to refute this assessment, and he did not want to follow the same path as the first contestant, so he bowed respectfully and accepted the reward.
The rewards are quite generous.
Chen Lin's penalty for leaving the mission had not increased, so two exemptions were added. Together with the two rewards that were originally given for the two-star level, there were a total of four exemptions from penalties.
This is very useful for him who wants to open a store, as it makes it easier for him to travel back and forth to the real world.
In addition, the points reward is as high as 10,000!
The Drunken God Wine presented before reached three stars, but the points given were only 10,000, so there was no loss in this regard.
In addition to these, two two-star universal food coupons, an opportunity to purchase treasures from the treasury, and an opportunity to increase the location of the teleportation token are also given!
These rewards are very high, higher than the normal three-star food offerings.
Chen Lin felt a little comforted and finally a smile appeared on his face.
Everything else is secondary. To him, increasing the positioning authority of the teleportation token is like timely help. Otherwise, if he applied, he would not only need 10,000 points, but also need to seek the consent of the guardian, which is extremely difficult.
"Congratulations, sir!"
Chen Lin returned to his original position and Xuewa immediately came up to congratulate him.
Then they all whispered, "Your Excellency's food deserves three stars. Even the Marquis of Jinzun gave it three stars. They..."
"Shut up!"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Chen Lin immediately spoke out to stop him, then shook his head slightly.
Xuewa also reacted, her little face turned pale, and she quietly glanced in the direction of the appraisal table. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she gently stuck out her tongue and dared not make another sound.
Next, the two continued to focus on food appraisal. Soon, other people in Chen Lin’s group also presented their food one after another, and one of them received a one-star rating.
By the afternoon, the situation had improved significantly. Every group had delicious food that was rated. Although they were all one-star, it encouraged everyone.
While observing, Chen Lin suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Qiu Mufan!
He was quite surprised that the other party would also come to participate in the competition.
The other party has been staying here for more than a hundred years. He should have participated in the last food festival. If he had any specialties, he should have presented them long ago.
Then he remembered that when he went to the Music Wine House before, the other party said that they had developed a new wine called Forgetfulness and gave him a glass, but he did not drink it.
I think that wine is used in this competition.
Sure enough, after verifying the number plate, the other party did not go to the food production house. Instead, a staff member brought two sealed wine jugs and started tasting directly.
Jinzun Hou was still the first one, but he was only given two stars.
The other judges tasted the food in turn, and in the end all gave it a two-star rating. It was very smooth and calm.
This is normal.
As soon as you look at the appearance of the nine judges, you can tell that they are experienced gourmets. They are all creatures from the demon world and their understanding of food and wine is comparable.
Chen Lin watched from afar and found that Qiu Mufan's face was a little disappointed, as if this evaluation did not meet his expectations.
The other party did not stop. After taking the reward, he walked towards the music bar.
Chen Lin thought about it and did not go over to say hello, but continued to observe.
The day passed quickly.
Because there were no amazing delicacies, both the judges and the onlookers seemed to be a little uninterested.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This food tasting was far from what we expected.
Chen Lin also shook his head and prepared to find a food restaurant to rest and refresh himself in preparation for tomorrow's offering. He still had two opportunities to offer, so even if he lost interest, he had to continue to participate.
"Wait a moment, fellow food lovers!"
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, the person in charge, who was wearing a tuxedo, immediately made a loud noise, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
Chen Lin also glanced over.
Then the demon creature said loudly: "According to the order of the Lord Guardian, I have an announcement. The next food offering will be delayed by ten days. If anyone can offer five-star food, they can make a request to the Lord Guardian. As long as it is within the Lord Guardian's ability, any request is acceptable!"
After a pause, the man in the tuxedo continued, "The food competition has been postponed for ten days because we hope that everyone will return to their respective interfaces and help find high-level food or great gourmets. As long as the food you introduce can get a five-star rating, the guardian will help the middleman obtain the title of viscount. We will never break our promise!"
“Wow!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
This guardian's generosity is a bit too great.
Any request that is within one's capabilities is equivalent to an opportunity to make a wish to the gods. The guardian is even more powerful than ordinary gods.
Chen Lin felt that even if he asked the other party to directly raise his cultivation to the Hedao realm, he could do it.
After all, the other party is not sealed, and his strength and means are probably comparable to those of a true immortal, or even higher.
As for the title of Viscount, it is also attractive enough, because even the lowest rank of Baron comes with the fourth level of pass authority!
Viscount, it is estimated that he has at least the effect of a silver level one pass.
Everyone seemed very enthusiastic. This horrific reward aroused their passion and enthusiasm, and they were ready to do something big.
Even Xuewa's eyes lit up.
Of course, most people can still remain rational and calm down quickly.
It is not so easy to find five-star food. Among the more than a thousand food houses in the entire Food Island, there are only three with five stars, which shows how scarce it is.
Moreover, these three five-star food restaurants are closed all year round, so it is difficult to see what they are like inside.
Chen Lin also quickly calmed down.
If it were before, he could still have some aspirations, but Hongchen Yulu was only rated two stars, so he dared not have any more extravagant hopes.
Even if the Soul Bun could be stronger, it could only be three stars at most, not even four stars, let alone five stars.
Therefore, he was destined to miss out on this reward.
Calming down his mind, Chen Lin walked towards the teleportation square. He was not restricted from leaving the mission during these three days, so he had to go back to the floating world to take a look.
At this moment, the man in the tuxedo moved his ears, as if he had received some order, and spoke loudly again: "The latest instructions from the Lord Guardian, in addition to the normal rewards, an additional invitation letter for the Baron mission will be given to those who offer a four-star gourmet!"
Chen Lin paused.
Baron mission invitation letter. Although he had never heard of this term, he could tell from the literal content that it must be a key to obtaining the title of baron!
