112. The Five-Star Chef Test Begins

As for Mu Mu and Mu Qiu, they were both exhausted after coming back from the amusement park, so they rested in the living room the moment they got back and didn't seem a little energetic until Gu Bai brought food to them.

When they finished lunch, they felt good as new.

They didn't go out but went back to the hotel to have some rest in the afternoon, preparing for the Five-Star test tomorrow.

Gu Bai first watched the videos of the previous Five-Star assessment, but there weren't many about the topic. Therefore, even if he watched them all, he didn't find any patterns.

Because every contestant was tested and given questions on site. Also, their questions and tests were different, so it all depended on how the contestant responded and how solid his basic knowledge and skills were.

...

The next day, when Gu Bai appeared in the Chef Guild, he ran into some staff members who peeked at him from time to time. But when he looked back, they hurried to withdraw their gazes.

When the broadcast started, the Chef Guild had the most fans than ever.

After all, the guild held the Four-Star Chef Certificate tests every few years, but the test for Five-Star chefs was hard to see. Therefore, every Five-Star test attracted many viewers online.

Besides, "the Genius Boy" had become as popular as most celebrities, so many people wanted to see how far he could make it. They wondered whether he could make a miracle by passing the Five-Star Chef Certificate test and becoming the youngest Five-Star Chef in history.

Under everyone's expectations, Gu Bai walked into the examination site of the Chef Guild.

Today, President Yang Xun would make up the questions for him and invigilate the whole process with other seniors.

"First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on successfully passing the Four-Star Chef Certificate test. Right now, you are taking the Five-Star Chef Certificate test, which is also the highest test for a chef. I hope you can pass it smoothly." President Yang Xun didn't act like a child but acted seriously.

"Next, I will announce the content and rules of the Five-Star Chef Certificate test. The contestant is asked to make ten dishes designed by himself, including main courses, the staple food, side dishes, cold dishes, hot dishes, and desserts. Also, the ten dishes should be a complete feast. You can choose any ingredients and spices. We won't limit you to the kind or the quantity but provide you with everything you need. In the end, we will grant all the viewers online to try your dishes. If one billion people are willing to try them and 60% percent of them like them, you will be considered passing the test."

In other words, at least 600 million should like his dishes. If more people tried them, then more people should like them. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pass the test.

It was indeed a hard challenge.

Although the population of the empire was more than 10 billion and half of them were watching the show right now, at least one among five people should be willing to try the dishes.

Although the dishes weren't expensive online, many people didn't intend to spend money on virtual food because they couldn't eat anything for real.

Therefore, Gu Bai was under great pressure.

However, Gu Bai's biggest concern was not from the tasting test.

"Are you ready?" asked President Yang Xun.

Gu Bai nodded with a serious expression, and then he went to the warehouse to select the ingredients needed.

The Chef Guild didn't broadcast the selection process, so the audience discussed it with passion.

[A total of 10 original dishes, and they all should form a feast. That's so difficult.]

[Didn't you watch how "the Genius Boy" passed the last assessment of the Four-Star Chef test? Not only did he make a feast, he made most dishes that we didn't know of. He must have designed them by himself. With his ability, I don't think it's a big challenge today.]

[Did you watch the test seriously? "The Genius Boy" mentioned that he learned all the dishes from his family recipe. He didn't create or design them.]

[Whether he can make original dishes or not, I don't think he can have one billion people tasting his dishes, and 60% of them like them. That's impossible.]

[I agree. They've never done this to any contestant before. "The Genius Boy" is too young. If he works harder in the next few years, he will surely pass the test by that time.]

Although many people became Gu Bai's fans after watching the last test, they still didn't think he could pass the test today after hearing the rules.

Gu Bai quickly picked out the ingredients he needed, and he figured out what dishes he would cook during the process.

When he returned to the test site, he didn't say anything but started to cook, just like how he did before.

Even those who didn't think he could pass the test had to admit that it was enjoyable to watch him cook. They couldn't help watching for a long time.

As Gu Bai finished the dishes one after another, the viewers were lured by the smell of the dishes. Even those who didn't intend to spend money couldn't wait to try them.

[When can we try the dishes? I can't wait anymore. The smell is so tempting!]

[Why don't they let us eat it yet? I've had my money ready, and I'll buy more than a hundred portions alone!]

[That smells so good. I've never smelt anything like that. Is that what Five-Star chefs are capable of? We can never find such dishes in the outside restaurants.]

[I almost ate in every restaurant on the Central Star, but this is the first time I can't wait to taste anything. The smell is so good. I can't imagine how good it would be if I had them in my mouth.]

[Ahhhh! Can anyone tell me who "the Genius Boy" is? Does he have any restaurants? I want to eat there even if I have to give away everything I have!]
