The next morning, Qin Lang headed to the Starlight Restaurant with his two Food Spirits and prepared gifts.

Last night, he had already called in advance to schedule his visit, so when he stood at the entrance of the Starlight Restaurant, he saw Luo Hui’s familiar figure through the closed glass door.

“Knock knock knock— ”

“Creak— ”

“You’re here?” Luo Hui strode forward to open the door, “Come in, come in.”

He pulled Qin Lang into the restaurant and sized him up, a smile appearing on his face, “It seems like this was a very meaningful trip. I’ve prepared some freshly squeezed juice for you, try some.”

“Sure.” Qin Lang handed over the gift box in his hands with a smile, “Uncle Luo Hui, these are some specialties I bought in Bai Lu Mountain City, 1 hope you will like them.”

“Of course, I will like them.” Luo Hui took the box and immediately showed a pleasant surprise, “The gingko leaf carvings from Bai Lu Mountain City are famous. The blue-bellied fish balls are also a local featured food, 1 haven’t had them for quite a few years.”

“Take a seat.” He happily accepted the gift box and walked towards the fridge, “I’m very interested in your travel experiences, make sure to tell me all about it.”

“Of course.”

Soon, the two of them started a conversation.

“I watched the live broadcast of the previous provincial training competition.” Luo Hui laughed heartily, “As soon as the selection match phase began, I set my sights on Zhou Tianhao as the champion, and it turned out just as expected.”

“Indeed, Brother Zhou’s capabilities are quite strong.” Qin Lang nodded approvingly, thinking of their conversation on the train he added, “And he has a great personality too.”

“Oh?” Luo Hui looked at Qin Lang in surprise, “So you’ve interacted?”

“We happened to sit together on the train coming back.” Qin Lang nodded.

“I see.” Luo Hui understood and quickly changed the topic, “By the way, I heard that there was an unexpected incident at Bai Lu Mountain City’s Youth Training Competition? Were you present at the time?”

Unlike the provincial training competition, Bai Lu Mountain City’s Youth Training Competition was a city-level event. Luo Hui, who was far away in Dongxia City, wouldn’t pay much attention to it. He just heard about it from a random food guest.

“Yes, there was an unexpected incident.” Qin Lang shook his head amusedly, “The Star Hunter organization appeared, trying to steal the Starstone.” “What?!” Luo Hui widened his eyes in surprise. With his experience, he was naturally familiar with the Star Hunter organization, “That is a world-class criminal organization. Were you in the audience seats then? Did they succeed in their action?”

“I was not in the audience seats.” Qin Lang shook his head.

“That’s good. Although the Star Hunter organization hasn’t had a record of hurting innocent people, they are a criminal organization and should not be underestimated.” Luo Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Qin Lang continue.

“I was at the contestant preparation seat.”

Luo Hui:”???”

“The Star Hunters were repelled on the spot, they didn’t get the Starstone, but it’s said that they made another move after the competition and took away the Starstone that had depleted its Star Power.” Qin Lang shared what he had learned about the situation.

“Hmm…” Luo Hui rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then looked at Qin Lang, “Did you participate in the Youth Training Competition and qualify for the ranking competition?”

“Yes, I did, and 1 ended up in third place.” Qin Lang smiled, “It’s a pity I didn’t bring the medal to show you.”

“Getting third place in your first Youth Training Competition is excellent.” Luo Hui laughed, “Your opponents were all Spirit Chefs older than you with ample training experience. It’s not easy to defeat them…”

“After the competition, 1 had a Spirit Battle with the first-place contestant and I won.” Qin Lang took a sip of juice and confidently commented.

Luo Hui:”???”

He defeated the first-place winner after the competition?!

He looked at the two Food Spirits encircling Qin Lang, each with two stars, and his face showed a surprised expression.

He had fully recognized Qin Lang’s culinary talent.

But it was the first time he knew that Qin Lang was just talented in training as well.

“It seems that in a while, you could become the champion of the city’s Youth Training Competition.” Luo Hui sighed, deeply feeling the gap between a prodigy and an ordinary person, “So, are you planning to participate in the provincial Youth Training Competition in half a year’s time?”

“That’s the plan.” Qin Lang nodded seriously, “But since the provincial Youth Training Competition and the provincial Cooking Contest are so close together, I’m worried about one affecting the other.”

“So, I will wait a few months until I am fully prepared, then decide.”

“That’s a good plan.” Luo Hui nodded in agreement. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Qin Lang in bewilderment, “Wait, why did you come back? You could have attempted the Second-Level Food Recommender test, right?”

“If I remember correctly, the test for Second-Level Food Recommender in Bai Lu Mountain City only requires one Second-Level Food Recommender Badge, which you have.”

He looked at Qin Lang thoughtfully.

Could it be that Qin Lang attempted it but couldn’t pass, so he planned to return and prepare more before attempting it again?

That would be a possibility…

Looking at the badge that Qin Lang pulled out from his bosom, Luo Hui felt a buzz in his head and his thoughts became slightly disjointed.

Bai Lu Mountain City«Deer Spirit.

That was… the Second-Level Food Recommender Badge from Bai Lu Mountain City!

He widened his eyes as he looked at Qin Lang in utter disbelief.

“You… you…” He took a deep breath, finally managing to articulate, “In one week, you not only watched the provincial training competition and participated in the Youth Training Competition but also acquired a Second-Level Food Recommender Badge?!”

What efficiency!

Though he had already witnessed Qin Lang’s capability of acquiring three First-Level Food Recommender Badges in three days, getting the

Second-Level Food Recommender Badge was way more difficult than acquiring the first level one.

And he got it so easily?!

“Yes.” Qin Lang nodded seriously, “Ms. Yunqi’s test was indeed quite challenging.”

Since he had brought out the Poetic Etiquette Ginkgo, it must have been quite a challenge.

“Give me a moment.” Luo Hui massaged his temples.

Even though he hadn’t won any awards in the cooking competitions, his best achievement was reaching the top 8 in the city-level cooking competition and obtaining the title of Excellent Chef.

But his friend Li Hong had participated in the provincial cooking competition and obtained the Outstanding Chef title.

Therefore, he was very clear about the difficulty of the Second-Level Food Recommender test.

If he remembered correctly, Li Hong had spent a full three months in the kitchen preparing to make a dish that one Second-Level Food Recommender would approve of, almost driving himself into a depression.

Why did Qin Lang pass the test so easily?

Suddenly, Luo Hui came up with a daring thought in his mind.

At this rate, could it be that Qin Lang will…?

Collect all five Second-Level Food Recommender Badges in just one or two months?!

That shouldn’t be the case, probably he happened to master a dish that met the test requirements of the Second-Level Food Recommender in Bai Lu Mountain City.

Right, it must be that.

“Where are you planning to get the next Second-Level Food Recommender Badge?”

“Qingyang City.”

“Hiss…” Luo Hui sucked in a breath.

The most difficult Second-Level Food Recommender test in Tianhua State?!
