Chapter 173 - 173: Encounter Again
“Finally, we’re heading home.”
After placing the suitcase on the train’s luggage rack, Du Weiwei stared out at the station sign and the regional promotional billboards she saw when she arrived at Bai Lu Mountain City by train.
“Weiwei, what do you think? Will mom and dad like this souvenir?” Qi Xiaoyu, who was standing next to her, was excitedly holding a prepared souvenir, seeking advice.
“Too late for that, even if they don’t like it, you can’t change it after getting on the train, can you?” Du Weiwei’s words made Qi Xiaoyu’s face fall, but she quickly chuckled, “Don’t worry, your parents will like it.”
“That’s great.” Qi Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, clutching her souvenir and eagerly anticipating her parents’ reaction upon receiving it.
This is the first souvenir she has ever bought on a trip!
Sitting opposite them, Qin Lang was also gazing out the window, but his gaze seemed a bit distant.
After obtaining the second Second-Level Food Recommender Badge, he needs to try to obtain the remaining three as soon as possible to prepare for the provincial-level cooking competition.
Besides, he also has to participate in a city-level youth training competition in Tianhua State and win first place to qualify for the provincial-level training competition.
So it seems that the upcoming months will be quite busy.
“Excuse me, that’s my seat, can I get through please?”
The faintly familiar voice made Qin Lang quickly regain his attention, and he couldn’t help but look in its direction.
When he clearly saw the other person’s face, he was slightly taken aback and quickly stood up.
Sitting next to Qin Lang, Zhao Chen, who was near the aisle, seemed to spring up as if there were springs under his buttocks.
Du Weiwei looked over at the sound, her mouth agape in surprise and her face carried the same expression of astonishment.
Even Qi Xiaoyu widened her eyes, unable to resist whispering, “The provincial training champion, Zhou Tianhao?”
“Shush!”
Zhou Tianhao looked around, put his index finger to his lips to signal them to keep quiet, then smiled and walked past Qin Lang to sit down in the window seat.
“Seems like you all know me.”
Noticing that the other four people seemed to know each other, Zhou Tianhao’s face gained a trace of apology, “1 like the window seat, so when I booked the ticket, I just randomly chose a window seat, I hope it won’t interfere with your conversation.”
“Not at all.” Qin Lang and the others quickly shook their heads.
As for this powerful spirit chef who had just become the champion of the provincial training competition, their curiosity had barely had time to surface.
Traveling with him on the train, their journey should not be lonely.
“Actually, I also know you guys.” After stowing his baggage, Zhou Tianhao smiled, “You guys participated in the youth training competition, right?”
His gaze fell on Qin Lang, who had made the deepest impression on him by advancing through the ranking competition and ultimately obtaining third place, “Your combined combat skills have a lot of potentials. You can develop them.”
“Thank you!” Qin Lang felt somewhat flattered.
“Gurulu!”
Dan Bao was also delighted, as it was obviously pleased with the recognition of a powerful spirit chef.
“Clack!”
I will also get my combined combat skill soon!
Spicy, on the other hand, was nodding fiercely.
At this moment, it had already mastered teleportation, constantly adjusting its position and executing lucky bite marks continuously at close quarters.
But this was not a combined combat skill.
The so-called combined combat skills are more like a fusion of two skills, which can achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two.
Zhou Tianhao chuckled, shifting his gaze to the other three. Although they didn’t leave as deep an impression as Qin Lang, he pointed out the traits of their food spirits, proving that he indeed remembered them.
“Big Brother Zhou, we only participated in two selection fights; why do you remember us so clearly?” Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help asking after Zhou Tianhao finished describing their characteristics, “I have already forgotten most of the participants who took part.”
As she said this, she looked somewhat embarrassed.
“In order to assist the Association against the Star Hunters, 1 happened to be disguised as an audience member, mingling with the crowd.” Since the Star Hunter incident was over, there was no need to hide it, so Zhou Tianhao revealed it. His words then took a turn.
“Moreover, even if it were not for this reason, 1 usually keep an eye on all kinds of news and competition situations related to spirit battles.”
“Honestly, my favorite is the selection fight.” He laughed, “Because in the selection fight, there are many competitors, some of whom can provide significant insights.”
“Even if those competitors are much weaker than you?” Du Weiwei asked thoughtfully.
“Yes, I believe that imagination is the greatest miracle.” Zhou Tianhao spoke sincerely, “This has nothing to do with strength. Even the same combat skill can be different in the hands of different trainers, and it can be strengthened in different ways.”
“For example, the combat skill Full Firepower.” Maybe because he most remembered Qin Lang, he pointed at Dan Bao, “Qin Lang’s attempt was to have the flames generated by Full Firepower converge, causing it to have greater power.”
“But 1 have also seen changes such as a food spirit rotating to release Full Firepower to form a fire ring attack, increasing its range to make it a large-scale fire curtain, and so on.”
“Naturally, the situation of the combat skill is different under different changes.”
“So far, the known number of combat skills has reached four digits. Remembering their strengths and weaknesses is enough to formulate corresponding strategies in ordinary battles, but in higher-level battles, just this is far from enough.”
“So, I need to continuously understand different spirit chefs’ ways of using combat skills, thereby increasing my own experience and incorporating them into combat.”
Seeing the four of them pondering over his words, Zhou Tianhao smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Experience…incorporation…
Although Zhou Tianhao was talking about spirit battles, Qin Lang couldn’t help but think about cooking.
He thought of his previous life.
In his previous life, he was the youngest Special Class 1 chef in China. His culinary skills improved so quickly because he loved to eat.
He traveled everywhere, tasted local delicacies, learned from local chefs with outstanding culinary skills, and then combined all of these experiences, and his cooking skills were continuously improved.
Among the Special Class 1 chefs, he learned the most miscellaneous things. He had some understanding of all kinds of cuisines, and he had dabbling in both red and white case cooking.
After obtaining the Special Class 1 certificate, his cooking skills almost stagnated.
Because he had his own business and couldn’t find the same feeling amidst the busyness.
By the time he realized this, he had already traversed to this world.
The experience of cooking…
At this moment, it seemed he had found more meaning in traveling.
When Qin Lang returned from his thoughts, Qi Xiaoyu and the others were already excitedly asking Zhou Tianhao other questions.
This provincial training champion was more approachable than they had imagined, patiently answering their questions, even giving them some tips on combined combat skills.
Soon, they touched on the topic of Spirit-ignite Power, which was of the greatest curiosity to the four of them, who had yet to unlock their fourth-star vein.
