Lin flipped the Fifth-Level Chef Badge in his hand, feeling a deep attachment to it. This was his first qualification badge, and it held significant meaning.
Although his future path would be filled with various honor badges, the first one would always be the most memorable.
"I have something to tell you..."
The Poverty Old Man turned around at some point, looking at Lin with a hint of sorrow in his eyes. He hesitated, as if he had been contemplating for a long time before finally deciding to speak.
"What is it?"
Lin quickly put away the badge, straightened up, and looked at the Poverty Old Man. Faced with the old man's stern expression, Lin Ye couldn't help but become more formal.
"I must tell you that although you achieved good results in this exam, it has also laid down obstacles for your future path in the Culinary World..."
"Oh? Just because of those old men?"
Lin raised an eyebrow, his gaze filled with disdain. He truly didn't take those old men seriously; if they were brought out to test real culinary skills, he wasn't sure who would win or lose!
In terms of culinary skills, Lin's performance was quite unstable due to his unfamiliarity with the Great Star Sea Era.
If he had chosen his specialty, Ancient Cuisine, along with the help of 【Left-Handed Blade】 and 【Ink Projection】, he could have prepared dishes at level eight!
However, if he chose unfamiliar dishes, his abilities would only barely match the Fifth-Level Chef Badge he held in his hand, relying solely on basic techniques and advanced culinary concepts to maintain appearances.
In summary, what Lin lacked now was experience. He needed to witness the grand scenes of the Culinary World across the Star Ocean Era to achieve faster progress.
The Poverty Old Man understood these things as well. For these old fellows who could never improve again in their lifetime, they indeed posed no real obstacle in front of Lin's Culinary Talent.
"My concerns are not with those old fools. They are the ones I can keep at bay, but the real challenge lies in the decisions you make today!"
The Poverty Old Man shook his head and sighed, feeling helpless about the situation.
"What do you mean?"
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lin put away his disdain and sat up straight, listening attentively to the Poverty Old Man's next words.
For the Poverty Old Man to show such an expression, it must be something significant, and Lin couldn't help but speculate about what it could be.
"You are still too young; you don't understand the dirty dealings of the Culinary World!"
With a long sigh, the Poverty Old Man's gaze began to drift. He was preparing to open the door to the Culinary World for Lin, allowing him to get a glimpse of this chaotic realm.
At the same time, Qing Uncle, who had been silently driving, stiffened his body. He turned his head and looked at Lin with a helpless yet encouraging expression.
Anyone who has climbed their way up from the Culinary World knows that this era's Culinary World is more chaotic, dark, and even ruthless than any other field!
The Poverty Old Man slowly began to speak, and amidst his drifting gaze and profound words, the true nature of the Culinary World was gradually revealed…
This era is one dominated by technology and Martial Arts. Other fields wishing to survive in this crevice must have their own unique methods.
Especially for these skilled professions, they either struggle to survive on the brink of extinction or fight tenaciously in the abyss of fire and blood.
However, the Culinary World has chosen to resist in adversity!
Among these skilled professions, the Culinary World is doing relatively well; at least it stands resiliently without collapsing like many others have.
However, beneath the glamorous surface of the Culinary World lies the cruel laws of the Culinary World!
It is even more brutal and darker than the "might makes right" principle of martial arts!
In this Jungle Law, one must strive to survive better, using any means necessary; anything is acceptable as long as it helps one become a better chef!
This is the core principle of the Culinary World: perfect oneself, grow stronger! Grow stronger! Grow stronger!
As all chefs are brainwashed by this Jungle Law, it has shaped the current state of the Culinary World, which continues to develop vigorously, becoming one of the few esteemed professions in culinary arts.
Although the Jungle Law of the Culinary World plays a crucial role in its development, a closer look reveals its drawbacks.
The fierce competition can ignite a fighting spirit, but it also brings constant anxiety; this is a field where everyone feels threatened.
Under such pressure, many begin to harbor sinister thoughts and develop unscrupulous methods. When their own abilities reach their limits, they start to recruit those around them, forming alliances for self-protection.
As mentioned earlier, today's Culinary World is ruthless, so no one criticizes such methods; instead, many imitate them and start adopting these tactics.
In just a century of development, this approach has become an unspoken rule for survival in the Culinary World, commonly referred to as "The Connections Among Chefs."
Starting from the strongest hundred Tenth Level Chefs, various factions have already formed. This could be due to temperament, race, or similarities in culinary skills.
In any case, those who get along will find reasons to band together—some in pairs or small groups, others in larger clusters—forming tight-knit communities that resist each other.
Beneath them are the Ninth Level Chefs. These chefs are either direct disciples of Tenth Level Chefs or independent practitioners who join groups as nominal disciples.
Without a Tenth Level Chef as a backing, even a Ninth Level Chef would be pushed out to the Wasteland Star of the starry sea.
The situation only worsened as the relationships became more chaotic. The chefs at the Seventh Level formed cliques, creating groups that secretly competed under the banner of Tenth Level Chef.
This was a war without gunpowder, yet it was exceptionally brutal. Countless individuals fell on the path of culinary advancement due to nepotism.
No matter how talented one was, without backing in the Culinary World, they would inevitably fall. Since the establishment of these connections, there had never been an exception!
In this war, reaching the Azure Planet, a lower civilization, things became even more chaotic. It was no longer just a simple struggle for power; it also involved many who used "power struggles" as a cover for personal vendettas.
As a result, in the Culinary World, all the newly emerging talents felt threatened, and incidents of low-level chefs challenging their seniors were rare.
However, today, Lin did just that. Not only did he do it, but he also offended all the top chefs on Azure Planet!
After recounting this complex set of rules in the Culinary World, the Poverty Old Man looked increasingly helpless. He frowned at Lin and said, "You acted too impulsively today; your culinary journey may not be easy from now on!"
Surprisingly, even Lin Ye, who was proud of his culinary skills, did not blindly refute this. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his expression growing more serious.
Having struggled from the bottom on Earth, Lin understood better than anyone how terrifying this so-called "Hundred Chefs' nepotism" could be!
"So, Poverty Old Man, which faction do we belong to? And which Tenth Level Chef's influence are we under?"
Lin couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at the Poverty Old Man, filled with anticipation while deep in thought.
