Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Chapter 278: The Green Enamel Flower That Won’t Awaken

Chapter 278: The Green Enamel Flower That Won’t Awaken


There were not many contestants in the compet.i.tion.


It was not even one percent of the Delicacy Conference.


After all, the Delicacy Conference was just for eating. Anyone could partic.i.p.ate.


The King of Foods Compet.i.tion required practical operations, and they were not done casually.


Those without any skill and strength would not embarra.s.s themselves.

!!

In the waiting area on the second floor of the gymnasium.


“I wonder what materials will be given for this year’s King of Foods Compet.i.tion?”


“I heard that only three materials were given last year and they were asked to perform freely. In the end, 80% of them didn’t even get points…”


“Of course. The three materials last year were said to be free to use, but the hidden conditions are indeed to cook food of value. Heavenly Essence Gra.s.s, Heavenly Essence Root, and Heavenly Essence Earth, how can this low-level soul plant be refined?”


“The King of Foods Compet.i.tion requires an extremely high understanding of various soul plants and how to cook. It’s not that easy to obtain high marks.”


“The three materials last year were simply amazing. They were all from the heavenly essence series. The greatest characteristic of those three low-level soul plants was that they were extremely unstable. Their value was very low. In the end, only a few dozen people barely refined some messy food and obtained a score.”


“This year’s King of Foods Compet.i.tion can’t have such a ridiculous soul plant, right?”


“Last year’s highest score was only 68 points… It was so difficult last year, so it should be easier this year.”



w.a.n.g Che listened to the surrounding contestants discuss.


The King of Foods Compet.i.tion was closed during the compet.i.tion.


Only when the compet.i.tion was over would there be many spectators.


Presumably, although there were fewer partic.i.p.ants in the Delicacy Conference yesterday, there were actually more spectators.


This was because other than paying attention to the King of Foods Compet.i.tion, the audience also paid more attention to the agriculture exhibition in the afternoon. It was a grand event that could be traded.


“Junior w.a.n.g!”


In the distance, Shen Mingluan pursed her lips and walked over, “I knew you would definitely come! Seriously, you didn’t even partic.i.p.ate in the award ceremony yesterday.”


w.a.n.g Che turned around and said, “I drank a little too much wine. I went and took the opportunity to cultivate.”


“Shriek!”


The Little Green Luan also greeted w.a.n.g Che and flew down to follow the little caterpillar.


“Ssss?”


The little caterpillar was quite energetic and asked curiously.


It was probably asking, ‘Are you here to partic.i.p.ate in the King of Foods Compet.i.tion and refine food?’


The Little Green Luan shook its head and said that it was only an a.s.sistant.


The little caterpillar could not help but look at Shen Mingluan and roughly realized its opponent today.


“This little guy already knows how to farm.” Shen Mingluan also glanced at the little caterpillar and could not help but smile, “Can it help you when cooking?”


w.a.n.g Che smiled and said, “I hope today’s King of Foods compet.i.tion is not difficult. Otherwise, the burden will be a little heavy for it.”


“Professor Yun told me yesterday at the award ceremony that today’s King of Foods compet.i.tion is quite difficult.” Shen Mingluan smiled and said, “Professor Yun is one of the people in charge of the questions for the King of Foods compet.i.tion. The task is set by our Princ.i.p.al Gu. Isn’t it a little difficult for you to let Little Worm help you!”


“It still depends on your skills!”


“I’ll try my best.” w.a.n.g Che glanced at the little caterpillar.


Shen Mingluan nodded.


At this moment, a staff member walked up and said, “All contestants, take your number plates and remove your communication devices. After pa.s.sing the soul ring test, enter the corresponding dining room. You can begin preparing.”


“The questions for this King of Foods Compet.i.tion are in your respective production rooms. After entering, you can see that the compet.i.tion will end at 11:00 in three hours. Bring your prepared meals to the evaluation area in the center of the second level.”


With that, the staff opened the compet.i.tion pa.s.sageway.


There were rooms inside, and the second floor of the gymnasium was very large.


At a glance, one could see the end of the compet.i.tion pa.s.sageway.


w.a.n.g Che brought the little caterpillar and took off the soul device and communication device. He pa.s.sed the soul ring test and glanced at the number plate.


No. 88.


It was a lucky number.


The contestants entered one after another.


w.a.n.g Che quickly arrived at Room 88. After walking in, he discovered that the layout was not complicated.


It was about 30 square meters. Normally, it should be a lounge or storage room.


It was only slightly modified.


There were various kitchen utensils inside. There were trademarks on different kitchen utensils. They should be sponsored by some companies.


The King of Foods Compet.i.tion was no exception.


Other than kitchenware, there were no other things.


At the front, there was a white board with the rules of this compet.i.tion written on it


as well as the specific content and questions of the compet.i.tion.


“The theme of the King of Foods Compet.i.tion: The Green Enamel Flower That Won’t Awaken.”


“The Green Enamel Flower is the companion soul plant of the Green Enamel Bird. In the past, every Green Enamel Bird would have a Green Enamel Flower blooming beside it when it broke out of its sh.e.l.l. Only by carefully taking care of the Green Enamel Flower can it bloom. After consuming the Green Enamel Flower’s petals, the Green Enamel Bird has a chance to evolve into a Green Flower Bird.”


“After the Green Enamel Flower bears fruit, there’s a chance of evolving into a Green Spirit Bird after consuming it.”


“But if the Green Enamel Flower dies midway, the accompanying Green Enamel Flower will never bloom again.”


“That’s the Green Enamel Flower of the ancient era. In the modern world, we’ve already cultivated better Green Enamel Flowers.”


“The requirement of this King of Foods Compet.i.tion is to use the Green Enamel Flower to refine food suitable for Contract Soul Masters or soul pets.”


w.a.n.g Che took a look.


It was as if they could hear countless contestants cursing.


Using a soul plant to refine food was very difficult.


However, the entire body of the Green Enamel Flower could be used as material, from the roots to the petals to the fruits.


They could all be used as materials.


It was not simple.


Soul plants were not ordinary crops. Their entire body was made of materials.


However…


“This is still a little difficult.”


w.a.n.g Che smiled and looked at the basin under the light screen.


In the basin, there was a bud about half a meter tall.


“It’s still not in a complete state of blooming and bearing fruits. No wonder it won’t wake up…” w.a.n.g Che laughed, “This King of Foods Compet.i.tion is really harsh. Not only did it give a soul plant, but it’s also a soul plant that hasn’t completely matured.”


A Green Enamel Flower without maturity and a green flower with fruit were two different things.


The petals and fruits of a mature Green Enamel Flower could be used as materials, and these two materials were rather rare.


Only the roots and buds could be used as materials for the immature Green Enamel Flower. It also contained very little soul power and flying energy.


“This soil is not ordinary soul power soil.”


w.a.n.g Che took another look at the brown soil in the basin, “This is soil formed by Cloud Bean Mud… Ordinary people really can’t discover it. This is the hidden element, right?”


The brown soil looked ordinary, as if it was ordinary soul power soil.


However, if one looked carefully, they would discover that this soil was not simple.


The hidden elements were that this soil could also be used as material.


It depended on whether the contestants could discover it.


This was very deceptive.


The Cloud Bean Mud was edible soil. Other than containing soul power, it also had some earth energy.


It could accelerate the growth of many crops, which was very similar to normal soul power soil.


w.a.n.g Che had divine sense and was experienced enough to tell at a glance that the other contestants might not be able to discover it immediately.


It would be too late if he discovered it when cooking.


Moreover, it was also difficult to combine the two.


“The second hidden element should be the fruit of this Green Enamel Flower… It will only take two days at most.”


w.a.n.g Che pondered and said, “After the flower blooms, there will be petals and thumb-sized fruits. These are the two materials. This is to test if the contestants can let the flower bloom in advance.”


“This should be the second hidden factor.”


This tested the level of agricultural skills.


There were many tests in the King of Foods Compet.i.tion.


If the level of agricultural skills was not high, they could only use the Cloud Bean Mud and the premature Green Enamel Flower to refine food.


If the cooking skill was good, it could also be refined into a good meal.


If the agriculture level was high, after the Green Enamel Flower bloomed, with the petals and fruits, even if the food level was low, it could still refine good food.


“How can I let the Green Enamel Flower bloom?”


w.a.n.g Che looked at the little caterpillar, “Do you know?”


The little caterpillar touched the Green Enamel Flower with its front limbs and nodded at w.a.n.g Che.


It meant to use your Life Hand or my Force of Nature to mature.


“That’s a soul skill. What if there’s no such soul skill?” w.a.n.g Che smiled.


The little caterpillar shook its head. This was a little beyond its knowledge.


w.a.n.g Che said, “As a companion soul plant, the Green Enamel Flower actually grows by absorbing the saliva of bird-type soul beasts. The saliva of the Green Enamel Bird is the best for the Green Enamel Flower, so it can bloom.”


“Your saliva can actually make the Green Enamel Flower bloom too.”


“However, it can’t be called the Green Enamel Flower anymore. It’ll be called the Green Worm Flower.”


“…” The little caterpillar.


“There’s no need to use the Life Hand or your Force of Nature to mature it. It’s quite difficult to mature the Green Enamel Flower. Don’t waste your soul power for nothing,” w.a.n.g Che said. “You have to use knowledge to resolve the problem. If knowledge can’t resolve it, then use a soul skill. Save some saliva and be careful not to mix it with poison.”


The little caterpillar nodded. It was still very experienced in farming and taking care of crops.


Before long, it acc.u.mulated a lot of saliva.


Its mouth bulged.


“Now, slowly spray the Green Enamel Flower. Don’t spit too much.”


The little caterpillar opened its mouth and spat out a stream of saliva that landed on the Green Enamel Flower.


After about an hour, the Green Enamel Flower gradually bloomed.


In another hour, the Green Enamel Flower bore fruit.


“Ssss!”


The little caterpillar let out a happy cry.


Watching the crops mature was something that satisfied it.


“Next, you can use the petals and fruits of the Green Enamel Flower to refine leaf snacks that are suitable for yourself.”


This process was relatively easy.


The little caterpillar was naturally very familiar with the snacks it ate.


Even without a mold, it could now make snacks in the shape of leaves.


With the little caterpillar’s proficiency, it skillfully used the thread to control the various kitchen utensils. With a swish, it cut the petals and fruits of the Green Enamel Flower and placed them neatly at the side. Then, it dug out the Cloud Bean Mud that it needed.


In order to better control the flames, the little caterpillar did not choose to use the fire that came with the production room.


Instead, it used the Force of Nature to spit out flames.


As for the process, the little caterpillar had already memorized it. Although the materials were unfamiliar, w.a.n.g Che was guiding it.


This was very easy.


Time pa.s.sed…
