“Cheers!!!”
At the dining table of a hotel room, the three, Qin Lang, raised their sses together. Apanied by a crisp “ping” sound, the juice in their sses swayed slightly and then entered their mouths.
“Alr~” Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction appearing on her face, “The juice is indeed more delicious when it’s chilled!”
“It pairs even better with delicious food.” Zhou Tianhao said with augh. Then he picked up a bit of sweet and sour ribs with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The dining table was filled with a variety of dishes, the rich and enticing aroma made the eight sitting Food Spirits salivate.
“Alright, let’s start eating!” Qin Langughed, “To celebrate my championship, I’ve prepared a lot of delicious dishes this time.”
“It can be seen, such arge investment.” Shen Qian gave a giggly smile, “I saw several ingredients that require exchange with Cooking Competition Points.”
” So… Are you really going to participate in the Provincial Youth Training Competition?” Zhou Tianhao picked up a piece of Stir-fried Beef with Green Onions and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
“Yes.” Qin Lang nodded modestly, “I carefully checked that after participating in the provincial youth trainingpetition in Mingjing Province, I could just make it back to Tianhua Province for the Provincial Cooking Competition. Since there’s time, why not give it a try?”
“Your schedule is really tight.” Sheng Qian couldn’t help butin.
“You have a point.”ughed Zhou Tianhao, “Trying doesn’t hurt, regardless of the final ranking, it’s a meaningful experience.”
“That’s what I think too.” Qin Lang agreed, then immediately asked curiously, “Zhou Big Brother, what ranking do you think I can get in the provincial youth trainingpetition with my current strength?”
“Well…” Zhou Tianhao paused chewing for a moment, a contemtive look on
his face, “You should be very clear about Yu Kun’s strength.”
“I am aware of that.” Qin Lang nodded.
“All I can say is Yu Kun’s current strength in the provincial youth trainingpetition is quite average.” Zhou Tianhao grinned, “You should know, the ones able to participate in the provincial youth trainingpetition are definitely the champions of the city-level youth trainingpetitions.
“The provincialpetitions take ce once a year, while the city-levelpetitions take ce every three months.”
“There are trainingpetitions and cookingpetitions and the collection requirements of the Food Rmender Badge and the Spiritual Controller’s Badge as thresholds, but the youth trainingpetition does not have simr thresholds.”
“In Mingjing province, there are nine cities, and each city has four city-level youth trainingpetition champions being born each year.” Qin Lang thought for a moment, “So thepetitors I have to face in the end are other thirty-five youth training champions?”
“More than that.” Zhou Tianhao chuckled, “In fact, the champions of the same year’s youth training usually rankst in the provincial youth training.”
“You are saying…” Qin Lang became alert, as if enlightened, “Past contestants will also participate?”
“Correct.” Zhou Tianhao nodded subtly.
“My goodness, that’s thirty-six in one year. Then wouldn’t there be three hundred and sixty city-level youth training champions participating in the past ten years?” Shen Qian at the side couldn’t help exim, “Isn’t that a bit too much?”
“We can’t calcte it like that.” Zhou Tianhao shook his head with a quirky expression, “Firstly, the same age restriction for the provincial youth training applies. Those who exceed it cannot participate, so very few contestants from ten years ago can still participate.”
“Secondly, very few trainers participate in thepetition every year. They might go to other states for other experiences, or they might have other things to do, and they may not be that keen on ranking in the provincial youth training.”
“Therefore, even though the provincial youth trainingpetition has a lot of participants, the number is just around one hundred.”
“One hundred contestants is quite a lot already.” Shen Qian keenly realized her calction mistake from before.
“ording to Big Brother Zhou, it seems that it’ll be difficult for me to even advance to the second round in this provincial youth trainingpetition.” Qin Lang scratched his head, a touch of helplessness on his face, “Thepetition pressure is really high.”
“Not necessarily.” Zhou Tianhao picked a bite of Silky Egg Beef and casually replied after a mouthful, “From what I have observed, you and your Food Spirits are indeed very gifted inbat.”
“So, if certain conditions are met, there’s hope for you to advance to the second round, you may even get a decent ranking.”
“Oh?” Qin Lang’s eyes brightened, he then scooped a bowl of mushroom soup for Zhou Tianhao, “Zhou Big Brother, tell me more.”
“Ha ha.” Zhou Tianhao drank a mouthful of soup, then slowly replied, “Well, it’s having one of your Food Spirits break through to three stars before the Provincial Youth Training Competition.”
“The starstones awarded in stages at the Provincial Youth Training Competition are more than those at the City Youth Training Competition. After each round of promotion, you absorb the starstones and there’s a chance to get your second Food Spirit to break through to three stars.”
“By the time of the final round, perhaps your third Food Spirit would have already been born, and the gap in strength with the other contestants would have been greatly reduced.”
“But what about the other contestants who also absorb starstones and break through to four stars during their promotion?” Shen Qian curiously inquired.
“That’s unlikely because the total amount of Star Power required to go from three stars to four stars isrger.” Zhou Tianhao shook his head.
“Promoting while advancing…” Qin Lang’s eyes lit up a bit, but then they dimmed again, “Zhou Big Brother, the key to the problem is, how do I get one of the Food Spirits to upgrade to three stars?”
“Well…” Zhou Tianhao nced at Dan Bao and Spicy who were eating on the side and grinned, “The starstones you won from this youth trainingpetition, you distributed equally to the two of them, right?”
“Yes.” Qin Lang nodded.
Initially, when Spicy was born, Dan Bao had given a lot of starstones and Star Power to it. Now, the two little ones have equal growth progress and the subsequent starstones and Star Power are all distributed equally.
“Just participate in another city levelpetition once more, take the championship, and give all the starstones you win to one of them. Given the growth rate of your two Food Spirits now, promoting to three stars should be possible.”
Zhou Tianhao confidently made the estimate after assessing the situation.
This was, after all, an aspect in which he had plenty of experience.
“Participate in another city levelpetition…” Qin Lang fell into thought. The city-levelpetitions he referred to are the City-level Training Competitions, the City-level Cooking Competitions, and the City-level Youth Training Competitions.
For the first two, you can get eleven starstones if you win. As for the youth trainingpetition, it’s one starstone less, and the champion can get a total of ten starstones.
The difference is small, ording to Zhou Tianhao, another ten would be enough to promote one of the Food Spirits to three stars.
Now the problem has two areas.
First, which Food Spirit should take in the absorption and promote in advance.
Second, which city-levelpetition to participate in and win.
After all, it’s less than two months before the provincial youth trainingpetition starts, giving him not much time to participate in another city-levelpetition, it would be best to secure it in one go.
Qin Lang rubbed the two little ones who came up and nodded subtly.
“This needs careful consideration.”
