Wuling Super Chef

Endmin, what a coincidence. I was about to go and find you.

How about attending the event with me?

The competition's organizer is at Fangxing Avenue.

I believe he is a Tianshi named Tian Min.

Let's find him to learn more about this competition.

Tianshi Zhuang just told me that the Tianshi of Wuling and the business owners of Fangxing Avenue are jointly organizing "Wuling Super Chef", a competition for culinary aficionados.

We meet again. Are you taking part in Wuling Super Chef?

That's right. And I just caught wind that the final round will be quite special.

Originally, but not anymore. I got a better idea.

I got some seeds of brand new cultivars I grew. Cooking them yields the best condiments with unique flavors.

I don't really know how to start working with the Tianshi, but this Super Chef cook-off presents an opportunity for my seeds to shine.

I can't cook to save my life. Even if I tried my best, I probably flop like a dead fin and end up wasting my precious seeds.

Nothing concrete so far, but they might need you to cook something special. I believe my seeds will come in very useful.

Let me look at the competition rules... Hmm. There are no restrictions on condiments and spices used by the participants.

Counting on you, Endmin!

Endministrator, Supervisor Perlica, are you here to take part in the competition?

Oh? I'm really looking forward to your dishes, Endmin. Anything you want to know about the competition?

Simple. We have appointed a host for the "Wuling Super Chef" cooking competition.

Participants can submit their dishes to the competition host. The host will then share the judges' evaluations.

That's basically how it works.

Good question, Endmin. We organized this cooking competition to liven up the atmosphere of Wuling City with great food.

We did have quite a crisis a while ago. People are still very tense and distressed. Hardly anyone is smiling.

This cooking competition aims to let everyone start cooking again and see who's the best chef. It's an opportunity for people to relax!

Great. The competition is about to start too.

If you're taking part, just submit your dish to the host.

Greetings, honorable judges and distinguished guests!

Welcome to our first Wuling Super Chef Culinary Aficionado Cook-Off! Coming to you live from the event!

Allow me to lay down the rules for this cook-off: This is a TWO-phase competition with a total of SEVEN rounds!

The first phase gives our contending chefs SIX days to complete SIX challenges! One challenge will be unlocked every day!

The FINAL phase is a true test for your cooking skills! The challenge is to make a dish that best represents yourself!

Of course, we do allow our chefs to seek help from non-participants when choosing the dish. But I've said enough already! Time to get the stoves hot and blazing!

Hi, Endmin. Ready to submit your dish?

Alright. Let's see how our judges rate your culinary work!

Okay. We're looking forward to it!

Endmin, is something troubling you?

Sounds like a great idea, but ... I believe you have something in mind already, Endmin.

Ah... Idea? What idea?

When we engaged with Rhodes Island, there was this dish that almost every Rhodes Islander mentioned.

Though descriptions differ, all of them vividly remember the taste and recipe of the dish.

I tried making it once, and it felt like what the Endmin... Ahem. Well, Endmin, I'll dictate the recipe and let you handle the cooking.

Wha-wha-what?! Were you two talking in code? Because I totally didn't get any of that!

Ah... It's totally alright!

I just got back from a mission. I can totally give some great advice for our Endmin.

I think I know that dish, Endmin.

How time flies. We've now arrived at the final round of this cook-off!

We now invite our participants to engage in the last bout of this competition! Our first contender —

The EEEEEND-MINISTRATOR of Endfield Industries!

Stellar performance in the preliminaries, Endmin. You got everyone excited about the surprise you'd deliver for the final round.

Your final round dish truly took us by surprise — the idea is a bold break from tradition, and it carries on our legacy while being innovative at the same time.

But our judges got curious and have a question for you. Why did you choose to prepare this dish?

The score is out and it looks INCREDIBLE! Thank you for your wonderful dish, Endmin! Now let's welcome...

WHA?! Our Endmin? That's really super! I think I'm gonna... NO! I wanna try the Endmin's dishes right now!

Just as I expected. This batch of seeds has truly proven their worth.

No matter. Congratulations are in order, Endmin. The grand prize is yours.

It's truly wonderful.

You flatter me. I know myself well. Too well.

Congratulations, Endmin. Heheh. I saw your list of ingredients and noticed some ... seeds I'd never seen before.

Tianshi, you seem to be interested in my seeds.

Don't celebrate just yet. Seeds cost money, and I don't haggle. They're brand new cultivars, even Hongshan doesn't have them.

Greetings, Endmin. Ready to submit your final dish?

Great. Looking forward to your work!

These are our chefs for the first and second runners-up. And now, it's time to reveal the winner of the Wuling Super Chef Culinary Aficionado Cook-Off Grand Prize —

The ENDMINISTRATOR!

My seeds serve only as condiments and seasoning. Though impeccable in quality, they are worth nothing without a capable chef.

Hahahaha. And I was worried I'd never see this dish again. Projects may hit bottlenecks, but there's always a way!

It tastes like Order of Steel Oath military rations we used to supply, but the flavor is definitely different...

You gave us something new and delicious. Truly, it took us all by storm.

Hahaha! As our contending chefs put it, it doesn't matter what the dishes are. They simply love cooking and living the life!

Your seeds?

Well said, my good man. I wonder if the cultivation method is on the table too. We can offer a good price for a bundle!

Greetings, Endmin. Your dish has truly left an impression.
