After Leaving the Sports Circle, I Became a Cooking God (Completed BL)

Chapter 27 - Cui Luoheng's Sense of Taste & Strange Fluctuating Values

Cui Luoheng was currently pursing his lips, his expression appearing a bit stubborn, but there was no hiding the expectation in his eyes.

After a moment of thought, Su Bai handed his luggage to Qiu Wen, asking him to take his luggage back to the dormitory. He told them to meet him on the third floor in a while to have a meal. As he spoke, he also included Hu Li and Zhang Wei. After all, at this time, there probably weren't many good dishes left in the cafeteria.

Hearing Su Bai's words, Cui Luoheng seemed immediately cheered up. Hu Li and Zhang Wei were also pleased to know they had a share in the meal. The three of them followed Su Bai to the third floor cafeteria.

At this time on the third floor, most people had already finished their meals. Many athletes on the third floor brightened up when they saw Su Bai.

"Hey, Coach Su! You're back!"

"Coach Su, are you going to take charge of the third-floor kitchen tomorrow?"

"Coach Su, we've missed you so much!"

These athletes on the third floor were also quite excited to see Su Bai, after all, Su Bai's cooking was truly delicious. When they were eating, they didn't particularly feel it, but now that they couldn't eat it for a few days, they genuinely missed Su Bai with every bite of their meals.

Wang Shen had finished his meal by now and, upon seeing Cui Luoheng follow Su Bai to the third floor, he smiled.

"Hey, Coach Little Bai, you're finally back. If you didn't come back, Ah Heng here would have stopped training."

Though said jokingly, Cui Luoheng's training state had indeed declined these past few days. Even if he had earnestly stuffed every meal into his stomach, there was a difference between eating well and not, and it inevitably affected his training.

Though Wang Shen's tone was light, Su Bai detected something in it. He focused his mind and reviewed Cui Luoheng's personal data and condition. After looking through Cui Luoheng's attributes, he noticed a specific piece of data in a section unrelated to athletics.

Cui Luoheng: Taste Sensitivity 9 points.

Seeing this data, Su Bai inwardly took a deep breath. He knew that this quirky system was stringent in its assessment of people's attributes and talents.

With attributes a bit over 7 points, both Wang Shen and Qiu Wen had impressive talents in their respective events. However, Cui Luoheng's Taste Sensitivity attribute actually reached a full 9 points.

An excessively high taste sensitivity might not necessarily be a good thing for ordinary people. It means that one can quickly and sometimes excessively perceive the taste of any given food, including whether the seasoning on the food harmonizes well, if different parts of a dish are evenly seasoned during the cooking process, and so on—issues that ordinary people might not easily notice. However, under the influence of heightened taste sensitivity, Cui Luoheng is acutely aware of all these aspects.

In such circumstances, enjoying a meal becomes unusually challenging.

Su Bai now understood why Cui Luoheng had made such an untimely move earlier. For Cui Luoheng, he could indeed eat, but having a satisfying meal was actually quite difficult for him.

Thinking this through, Su Bai gazed at Cui Luoheng's expressionless face. Thoughts of the team's description of Cui Luoheng as a troublemaker flashed through his mind. He deeply felt that despite Cui Luoheng's demeanor, he had, in fact, not been able to enjoy a proper meal for all these years. He usually just kept a cold expression and wasn't talkative, but during training, there had never been reports of him training reluctantly. In reality, compared to his outward appearance, he was already someone with a very good temperament.
