My Next Life in Teyvat: I Just Wanted Friends, Not Every Girl's Love!-Chapter 201 - 200: This Time, You Are Stronger

On the day of the Moonchase Festival cooking competition, Durandal, who successfully passed the preliminary round, arrived at the final stage with the other three contestants.

Yanfei served as the host for this final. Looking at the few people who made it to the finals, she felt very emotional. Besides the expected Xiangling, there were many unexpected people.

She had already been informed in advance that Durandal would participate, and Yan Xiao, the burly chef at Wangshu Inn, was also no surprise. The problem was... what was True Lord Cloud Retainer (Liu Yun Zhen Jun) doing here?

"Why are you participating in this competition, True Lord Cloud Retainer (Liu Yun Zhen Jun)? Can you really cook?"

"Hmph! Let you all witness the power of This Immortal’s Cooking Contraption 3.0, which This Immortal specially researched for this cooking competition."

True Lord Cloud Retainer (Liu Yun Zhen Jun) wore a proud expression, as if the championship was already hers, full of confidence.

The onlookers were unaware of the situation, only finding it strange that an adeptus would also participate in a cooking competition.

Lumine and Paimon, who helped improve the Cooking Contraption, had complex expressions. They were the ones who witnessed the Cooking Contraption evolve from 1.0, to 2.0, and now to 3.0.

How to put it? The machine True Lord Cloud Retainer (Liu Yun Zhen Jun) made could still cook, but it had a very large discrepancy from the automatic cooking she had envisioned.

Hopefully nothing would happen. Lumine was a little worried that True Lord Cloud Retainer (Liu Yun Zhen Jun) had added something in the final modifications, causing unnecessary commotion.

Durandal, who was checking the ingredients, noticed Guoba approaching her. She reached out and stroked his head. Because of Durandal’s touch, Guoba’s expression changed from his original soft look to his current (*￣︶￣*), making her unable to resist stroking him a few more times.

"Ah, Guoba! Come back quickly, don’t disturb Durandal while she’s organizing her ingredients."

Xiangling came over and pulled Guoba away. Before leaving, she looked at the ingredients Durandal had on the table, her eyes showing some reluctance.

"No need to worry." Seeing what Xiangling was thinking, Durandal said, "I didn’t use that as an ingredient this time. These are all high-end ingredients White Oriole helped me prepare, things that can be bought in the market with a little money."

"Durandal?"

Xiangling looked at Durandal in confusion. Didn’t they agree to use God meat in this cooking competition? Why did she suddenly change her mind and switch ingredients?

"When I went back, I made a dish for Lumine and the others. If I used that, no matter how skilled you all are, you basically wouldn’t be able to defeat me. While I could win, that would be cheating, and that’s not what I want."

"Durandal..."

"The ingredients you’re using this time should also be quite good, right? How about we use these ingredients to decide the winner?"

"Mm! Hehe~ In terms of cooking skills, I won’t lose to you. If I win, you have to give me a few pieces of that meat. I plan to make some myself and try it when I go back."

To be honest, Xiangling had been salivating at the thought of Durandal’s God meat these past few days. Several times she almost couldn’t resist running to find Durandal, wanting to taste the God meat there.

But remembering that they were opponents in this cooking competition, she could only force herself to resist the urge to freeload and patiently waited until today.

Since Durandal wasn’t planning to bring out the God meat in this competition, Xiangling’s confidence greatly increased.

Although she couldn’t infuse her feelings into her cooking like Durandal, her cooking skills were far superior to Durandal’s. She was confident she could make up for that difference through her culinary expertise.

If she won, she could get a few pieces of God meat from Durandal to satisfy herself, hehe~ She was already thinking about what dishes to make.

"No problem, I was going to give you a few pieces anyway. If you beat me this time, giving you a few more pieces is no big deal. However, this can only be consumed by yourself, because it’s... too potent."

Even if it was the five percent God meat suitable for ordinary people that she prepared for Xiangling, Xiangling couldn’t eat too much of it.

She noticed that when the energy in her body accumulated to a certain extent, people would experience a state similar to being "drunk." Because of this, she had some issues, and she certainly didn’t want Xiangling to encounter the same thing as herself. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Don’t worry, such precious ingredients, of course, must be savored slowly."

The atmosphere between the two became very harmonious; they didn’t look like opponents at all, but rather like partners.

At this time, Yanfei had also finished introducing all the contestants. Although True Lord Cloud Retainer (Liu Yun Zhen Jun) was an addition, the situation was still within controllable limits.

"Then, I declare~ the competition begins!"

With Ningguang’s command, all contestants began cooking their dishes.

"Oh oh~ every contestant has started their dishes, their movements are very skilled, it seems they have prepared well."
