National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

Jiang Yuan is already a celebrity among the trialists.

Even his teammates were recognized by the surrounding trialists and knew each of their names.

"It's Jiang Yuan!"

"The boss also comes to eat in person?"

"Look what you said, the boss won't eat, so you will eat for him?"

"If the boss can help me pass the trial, I'll be happy to feed him instead of eating for him."

"..."

Most of the trialists just talked to acquaintances on the sidelines.

There were also some people who took the initiative to say hello to Jiang Yuan and others.

Some were people they met during the trial, and some were friends Derek and others met outside the Tower of Trial.

I don’t know how they met friends outside the Tower of Trial in a short period of time and were able to call each other by name.

Zachary and Burns are old trialists and have known each other for a long time.

The trialist that Coldin and Elizer knew was not human in appearance, but looked a bit like a humanoid made of trees, which was quite reasonable.

Liam hooked up with people and chatted enthusiastically.

Even the elusive Tia and the mobile phone-obsessed White both have testers they know - the former looks like a woman, and the latter is also holding onto her phone and won't let go.

There must be some common language.

You guys from Aqua Blue Star, look at me and I look at you.

Didn't they meet any new friends because of the co-authorship?

How long had it been since Andre and August had been promoted to high-level positions, they probably hadn't had a few conversations with trialists outside the Trial Tower.

Jiang Yuan sent the trio of Thunder Hammers...

Ever since I was able to play games on my mobile phone, I only focused on playing games when I had free time. I almost never went out. Who can I meet?

Thinking of the game, Jiang Yuan moved his fingers involuntarily, wanting to take out his phone and take a look.

He hasn't logged into the game for a while. Did he miss any events?

Since he was outside, he resisted the thought.

I was sitting there drinking juice and listening to people chatting. Unknowingly, the noise in the kitchen became quieter.

After a while, the door opened.

A ray of black energy floated out first, attracting everyone's attention.

Demonic?

Jiang Yuan sat up straight, turned on the elemental vision to confirm, and then leaned back on the chair.

It wasn't the energy, it seemed to be Derek cooking that was causing the situation.

Seeing Jiang Yuan relax, other people who immediately thought of the demonic energy also relaxed.

Behind the black energy is a face covered in black and gray.

"Cough cough."

Derek held the plate in one hand and waved the other hand in the air to disperse the black energy.

"Okay, come and see my work!"

He raised his plate confidently.

Everyone's eyes moved from his face to the plate in his hand.

Surprisingly, what was on the plate was not a dark, unknown object.

"It looks like it's edible." Paimeng huddled behind Jiang Yuan and commented softly.

"Yes." Jiang Yuan lowered his voice and responded to Paimon.

It looked edible, but considering the movement just now and the black gas that came out after opening the door, no one wanted to try it.

"Jiang Yuan, my good brother!"

Derek's eyes fell on Jiang Yuan's face and he walked over.

Jiang Yuan almost took a step back. The small hand poking on his back made him stand still with difficulty, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face.

Derek didn't see it.

He sincerely wanted to give the food he made by himself to his good friend and brother Jiang Yuan to taste first: "Try it!"

The plate was handed over to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath.

Is it a friend, or a friend with a pair of real dog eyes, who wants to taste his carefully prepared food.

Can you refuse? Jiang Yuan thought he could, but the little hands behind his back told him that he couldn't.

"...Okay, I'll try."

According to viewers in the live broadcast room who observed subtle things in certain situations, Jiang’s voice had a subtle tremor.

Jiang Yuan picked up the chopsticks.

Jiang Yuan picked up a medium-sized piece of... something that seemed to be meat.

There's nothing wrong with the smell.

Jiang Yuan put it into his mouth.

"Well..." Jiang Yuan paused.

"How is it?" Derek looked at him.

"How's it going?" Pamon asked from behind.

How about it? The others' eyes fell on him, questioningly.

Jiang Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, chewed a few times quickly to swallow what was in his mouth, nodded vigorously, and gave Derek a thumbs up.

"Very good! It's the first time you've done this. It's really great. It seems you have talent!"

"Really?" Derek chuckled, "You're welcome, you're welcome, how about a few more bites?"

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan agreed happily and took a few more bites.

"Is it really delicious?" Alize originally hid in the crowd and didn't plan to try it. Seeing Jiang Yuan's attitude, he became curious.

Everyone knows that Jiang Yuan's acting skills are not good. For Jiang Yuan to praise him like this, is it possible that this orc's cooking skills are really good?

He pulled Kolding closer.

"I'll try, I'll try!" Paimeng couldn't help but be curious when he saw Jiang Yuan's reaction. He immediately flew out from behind Jiang Yuan, took a pair of new chopsticks, and picked up a piece of meat.

"Hmm!" Like Jiang Yuan, her eyes widened.

"Isn't it delicious?" Jiang Yuan looked at her with a smile.

Paimeng and Jiang Yuan looked at each other and blinked: "Okay, it's quite delicious!"

With the testimony of Jiang Yuan, who can't act, and Paimeng, a foodie, almost no one doubts Derek's cooking skills.

Everyone gathered around and tasted Chef Derek's craftsmanship one after another.

"Hmm!" "Hmm!" "..." "Uh." "This."

No matter what their first reaction was when they first took it into their mouths, the testers would later "sincerely" comment that the dish was delicious and that Derek was very talented in cooking.

A few who didn't want to try it were held down by other testers who wanted everyone to taste this delicious food, and they took a friendly bite in their mouths.

Fortunately, Derek had been tinkering for a while, and there was quite a lot of food on the plate. Each of the trialists took one bite, and there was still some leftover.

It was just in time for Derek, who had yet to taste his cooking skills, to taste his own cooking.

Everyone praised his cooking skills, and Derek's confidence in his cooking skills had grown quite large.

"Okay, let me try how good my cooking skills are!"

He put a full chopstick dish into his mouth without hesitation.

The moment it entered his mouth, his expression broke.

Is this something he made?

"I admit that your cooking skills are pretty good." Eliza said reluctantly.

"It's very good." Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded.

Others agreed or nodded.

Derek couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with his sense of taste. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the food: "Hahahaha, as expected of me."

He forced himself to laugh twice.

Then, even bigger smiles spread out around them, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

It seems like... something's wrong?
