In every year's event, there would be a winner, who would be the one who reaped the most benefits.
Generally speaking, 20 million was considered a lot. 30 million was enough to make one the winner. After all, such an event was held once a year. No one would go bankrupt to gamble.
30 million, plus the bonus from the chefs and the Food Association, had actually won more than 50 million. It was definitely a big winner. Such a big winner would usually only be seen at the end.
However, Brown had gambled so much this time. The two times added up to more than 100 million. Even if he gave half to Gu Zheng, he would have more than 40 million. He could basically be the winner this time.
For Brown, he hadn't won so much for several years. He even lost some last year.
When someone was happy, someone else was unhappy. It wasn't the Prince of the Middle East who was unhappy, but someone else.
Someone saw that the Prince of the Middle East had lost, so he went to challenge him. In the end, the Prince of the Middle East directly called out a bet of 50 million, which was only a little less than the bet with Brown. Then, the Prince of the Middle East won and that person lost 50 million.
His depression was imaginable, but there was nothing he could do. The chef he had invited was not as good as the others.
On the third and fourth day, the event continued. Brown would challenge every day, but unfortunately, no one accepted his challenge.
In the past two days, the Prince of the Middle East had two battles, but the stakes were not high. He was the one who challenged others, and no one challenged him anymore. When others challenged him, the stakes were one or two million, or at most three million. The stakes of more than ten million basically did not appear.
As for Brown, he challenged people every day. It was good to get some small gifts.
Although they were small gifts, they were worth more than a hundred thousand. Many little drops made a mickle. It was very impressive.
Time flew by quickly. On the eighth day, no one had accepted Brown's challenge. Brown was publicly recognized as the strongest person in this event. Although it was called Brown, it was actually Gu Zheng. This made some people wonder if they should personally go to China and invite a few famous masters.
The cooking skills of the Huaxia chefs were indeed extraordinary.
On the ninth day, no one agreed to Brown's challenge. Gu Zheng was also free. Every day, he watched the competitions of the masters from all over the world. It was a special feeling. At least, he could learn the cooking skills of their respective countries. Some of these masters' unique skills were really good. They also gave Gu Zheng a lot of inspiration.
In addition, he would receive a small gift every day. After receiving three gifts every day, Brown would let Gu Zheng choose one from among them, regardless of its value.
After eight days, Gu Zheng had already received eight small gifts, which were worth more than one million euros.
On the ninth day, Brown went to challenge as usual. There were not many people left. Other than Earl Karl and his two best friends, he intended to challenge everyone. This was just the right time.
It might seem like he had made a lot of enemies, but that wasn't the case.
Since they had all challenged Brown and no one had any objections, it meant that everyone had a number of people. If they didn't challenge Brown and deliberately left some people behind, the people who had been challenged before would feel very uncomfortable and think that Brown was deliberately targeting them.
They didn't worry about scarcity, but about inequality.
As for Earl Karl and the other two people, because the challenge qualifications were limited, if they were used up, they would naturally be left behind. No one would say anything. If they were not used up and deliberately did not challenge, that would be troublesome.
"I accept!"
Sir Brown challenged a rich man this time. He had no title and no father. He was just a rising rich man.
What he didn't expect was that this rich man would actually accept his challenge. This was also the third person to accept his challenge in this event.
Seeing that someone had accepted Brown's challenge, many people turned around and were very surprised.
"I want you to be in England's Clancy Castle!"
The man quickly said what he wanted to bet. Many people's eyes lit up when they heard this bet. Some people even regretted that they hadn't thought of this before.
Castles were ancient castle buildings. There were many in Europe. They were all cultural relics and couldn't be destroyed.
Some castles were still in use. Some castles were far away and transportation was inconvenient, so no one lived in them. However, even if no one lived in them, these castles still needed maintenance every year. Especially in England, the requirements in this regard were very strict. They had to meet the government's requirements for maintenance.
If they couldn't do it, or if there was any damage to the castle, they could even go to jail if it was serious.
More than ten years ago, there was a castle craze in Europe. Many people wanted to buy castles. At that time, castles were very expensive. A set cost at least a few million. The more expensive ones even cost tens of millions.
However, as people found that castles were not so convenient and even had to be restrained when they lived in them, many people began to sell castles. Later, the economic crisis caused the price of castles to plummet. In Huaxia's words, castles collapsed.
Because of the annual maintenance costs of millions, many people were unwilling to own castles. There was even a phenomenon of castles being sold at a discount of one euro.
Castles sold at a discount of one euro were because there were still debts. Sir Brown's castle was certainly not in debt, but its value would not be high. At most, it would only be one million euros.
If it were not for its good location, its value would be even lower.
It was not expensive, but the meaning of this castle to Sir Brown was different. Because this castle was not bought by Sir Brown himself, but was passed down from his ancestors. It was an ancestral item.
Such a thing, not to mention not being short of money, even if he was short of money, he would not sell it. Sir Brown had been maintaining the castle at a high price. Every year, he would stay for a month or two to remember his ancestors.
His family's glory, memorials, and so on were all stored in it. It was his family's small museum.
He would certainly not take out such a thing to gamble. If he took it out to gamble and lost, he would break the contract. Even if he won, he would not win much. At most, it would be one million. Compared to losing a gift for nothing, it was still possible to gamble with one million. The most important thing was that such a bet could disgust Brown.
Sure enough, Brown's face became very ugly.
Unfortunately, he was the one who initiated the challenge, and the content of their activity was that as long as it was under the other party's name, they could gamble. There were no restrictions. This castle was under Brown's name, so there was no violation of the qualifications.
"I agree!"
In the end, Brown reluctantly agreed. The bet was not big, but it made him very disgusted. Fortunately, Gu Zheng had absolute strength, so he did not have to worry about losing.
The chef brought by this rich man had always been wearing big sunglasses and a mask, so that people could not see his face. The people around did not care about this. It was not the first time they had seen this.
There had been such a phenomenon before. Some chefs especially cherished their reputation, so they came in disguise. These nobles did not care. What they wanted was the cooking skills of these chefs, not their people. It did not matter who it was.
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. This person's appearance did not look different, but he gave Gu Zheng a very dangerous feeling.
"Weapon Spirit, what's wrong with this person?"
Gu Zheng asked in his heart. He was now an immortal cultivator. It was definitely not normal for him to feel danger in his heart.
"This person, there is no problem for the time being!"
The Weapon Spirit replied directly. Gu Zheng was a little stunned. There was no problem for the time being? What did this mean? There was no problem for the time being?
"There is no problem for the time being. He is very normal now, but it is hard to say in the future and the past. There are traces of other forces on his body, but I don't know what kind of force it is because there is no sign of it now!"
The artifact spirit explained to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This person was really strange, but unfortunately, he could not see any problem at present. However, since there was no problem now, it meant that he was not a threat to him now.
But where did that sense of danger come from?
Someone had agreed to the challenge, so the next thing was Gu Zheng's business. This was the third time Gu Zheng had cooked. This time, Gu Zheng did not make anything special. He was going to make chicken noodle soup.
The regular chicken noodle soup could be made for many people at once, so it was more suitable for this kind of competition.
"Weapon Spirit!"
Standing in front of the kitchen counter, Gu Zheng was just about to cook when he suddenly raised his head and called out in his heart.
A majestic force came from the sky and fell directly on the chef wearing a mask. The chef's body stiffened slightly, but soon returned to normal.
"Immortal force!"
"Immortal force of a devil cultivator!"
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. This force came very quickly and was very fierce. After it came, it was detected by the Weapon Spirit. This was a very pure Immortal force, and it was the Immortal force of a devil cultivator.
Since it was a devil cultivator, Gu Zheng also knew the opponent's tricks. This was a kind of devil cultivator technique similar to being possessed by a ghost, which could allow a devil cultivator to directly control another person.
It was different from the previous few Indians. The Indians only borrowed their own strength. After this person let this force enter his body, he was no longer himself, but someone else.
His body and consciousness had become someone else, as if he was possessed by a ghost.
In other words, the person opposite Gu Zheng was no longer the original chef, but a very powerful devil cultivator. His strength was in the Divine Transformation Realm, which was the second of the three realms of cultivation.
The current Gu Zheng could barely fight with an immortal cultivator who had refined Essence into Qi. When facing a Divine Transformation Realm expert, he would run as far as he could. He was no match for him at all. However, the other party did not come with his original body, but with a force borrowed from a body. In this way, he could not exert all his strength.
The other party's strength was at most in the early stage of the Qi Transformation Realm.
In this way, Gu Zheng was not without the strength to fight.
Gu Zheng looked at him, and he looked at Gu Zheng.
"Interesting. I actually met a cultivator. If you admit defeat in this competition, I can give you a benefit!"
The other party spoke in a very gloomy voice. Only Gu Zheng could hear his words, and no one else could.
"Everything else is fine, but it is impossible for me to admit defeat in cooking!"
Gu Zheng refused. If the other party's request was not excessive, and he could accept it, it was not a big deal to agree. After all, he did not know who the other party was, and he was in France at the moment. Who knew where this guy's original body was?
If his original body was also in France, Gu Zheng would be in trouble.
Mao Zedong was more powerful than him, but Mao Zedong was still in the country. He did not know how long it would take for Mao Zedong to fly over. Therefore, if he could avoid it, Gu Zheng did not want to have a conflict with the other party.
Unfortunately, the other party made a request that he could not agree to.
It was impossible for him to admit defeat in cooking. Even if Gu Zheng agreed, the weapon spirit would not agree. Moreover, Gu Zheng was going to challenge Gokusen's cooking this time. Admitting defeat was equivalent to admitting that Gokusen's cooking was inferior to others.
In this case, the weapon spirit would explode.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Don't regret it!"
The person on the other side snorted coldly. He spoke in Huaxia language with a slight accent. Gu Zheng could be sure that this was a Huaxia person, a demon cultivator from Huaxia.
A demon cultivator from Huaxia possessing a chef's body and participating in this competition. No matter how one looked at it, it felt very strange.
Gu Zheng ignored him and began to cook his own food. The other party also began to cook. Although the other party was a demon cultivator, his cooking skills were not bad, and his ingredients were not bad either.
His ingredients were all of the ordinary grade.
Gu Zheng's ingredients were also ordinary. The two of them cooked very quickly, and in a short while, they were in front of the judges.
In terms of ingredients, the two of them were equal. Gu Zheng had the support of immortal energy, and so did the other party. Moreover, the other party also used some immortal techniques to help. They were tied. The five judges were also a little conflicted about the two of them. After a long time, they finally decided that the winner was Gu Zheng.
Gokusen's cooking skills were still better than the other party's.
"Brat, be careful!"
The other party sent another voice transmission. With that, the force left. Gu Zheng looked up at the sky. He did not know where the force had gone, but he knew very well that it was not too far away. It was definitely not in China.
If it was in Huaxia, it was impossible for him to use such a method.
After the power left, the person on the other side returned to normal. He was surprised to see that he had lost, and deliberately looked at Gu Zheng again. Perhaps in his heart, as long as' that person 'came, he would not lose, but he did not expect this result.
Sir Brown won again, but this time, he won very little. The other party also took out a property worth millions, so there was nothing to be happy about.
However, after this match, he was even more confident in Gu Zheng.
"Sorry, I have to leave first!"
Gu Zheng said to Brown, then left. Why did that demon cultivator possess a chef's body, and why did he participate in such a boring competition? What was his purpose?
And where was his main body? These were all things that Gu Zheng needed to consider. After all, it was always dangerous for such a powerful demon cultivator to be in an unknown place.
After leaving, Gu Zheng immediately contacted * * *. Facing a demon cultivator in the Semi-god Realm, it was best for * * * to come.
* * * had already set off, but it would take him eight hours to get here. This was already the fastest speed, which meant that within eight hours, Gu Zheng would have to face that demon cultivator by himself.
Gu Zheng did not return to the hotel, but went directly to a remote place in the suburbs. It was useless for him to return to the hotel, since the demon cultivator had his eyes on him, it was impossible for him to run away. The demon cultivator had many ways to find the person he was looking for, so rather than hiding in the hotel, he might as well come out and make more preparations.
