Hearing this, everyone looked at Jie Nai.
Jie Nai continued:
“This soup is actually a replica of the Century Soup I made.”
“But compared to the real Century Soup, it still lacks some flavor.”
“I’ve been making it for years, and I still haven’t been able to brew the real Century Soup.”
“I always feel something is missing.”
Turning to Xiao Song, she said, “You were able to notice that the soup is incomplete, it seems you have a lot of potential in culinary arts.”
“Perhaps you’ll become a top chef in the future. Also, you can try making the Century Soup, maybe you’ll succeed.”
Xiao Song was a little flattered, this was praise from a national treasure chef!
However, he didn't dare to boast that he could brew the Century Soup. He said humbly, “婆婆 Jie Nai is flattering me. Even you can’t make the Century Soup, how could I possibly make it?”
Jie Nai smiled:
“That’s not necessarily true. You could taste the missing element in the soup on your first try.”
“That proves your sensitivity to this soup is very high, you are more suited to make it than I am.”
Xiao Song was a bit confused, “Can I really make it?”
“But I don’t know anything…”
Jie Nai smiled again, “Perhaps you lack the medium to brew it now.”
“But if you can taste the real Century Soup, you might get more inspiration.”
“It might be able to supplement the flaw in my incomplete soup.”
This also stumped Xiao Song:
“Taste the real Century Soup? But Century Soup is so rare, it’s impossible to get it, right?”
“Indeed, the reason Century Soup is called Century Soup is because it only appears a few times in a century. Ordinary people have a hard time getting it.”
Jie Nai walked back and forth with her hands behind her back, saying leisurely:
“However, tomorrow just happens to be the beginning of a new century, the time when the Century Soup is born.”
“If you can, you can try to get it.”
“If you can get it, it will be very helpful for you to brew the Century Soup.”
“If you are planning to get it, consider it a commission from me.”
“Tom… tomorrow is the day the Century Soup is born!” Xiao Song was a little excited, but he also felt it was difficult, he said dejectedly, “But there must be many strong people who will compete for it, can I really get that soup from so many competitors?”
Obviously, he had no confidence in himself.
He was just an ordinary person, he couldn’t possibly compete with those who possessed martial power.
Su Ming immediately said: “I can help you.”
For the mission, he naturally had to help.
“That’s right.” Aru also said:
“We will all help you, so don't worry.”
Xiao Song was excited, he looked at everyone, and everyone nodded.
Not to mention that they were friends with Xiao Song and would help him.
After drinking Jie Nai’s soup, they were very interested in and longed for the real Century Soup, they wanted to drink it too.
So.
Even if they didn't help Xiao Song get the soup.
They would compete for it themselves, to taste the soup that only appeared once a century.
Seeing that everyone was willing to help him, Xiao Song was very moved:
“Thank you, thank you everyone!”
“So, tomorrow we’ll go and compete for the Century Soup!”
Everyone nodded.
Xiao Song showed a bright smile, and was already looking forward to tomorrow’s competition. With Su Ming and these big shots helping him, he was very confident in getting the Century Soup, it seemed like a sure thing.
Jie Nai also showed a satisfied smile and said:
“Alright, that’s settled then.”
“Also, today’s soup is enough for you to drink, enjoy it.”
“I’ll go make some other dishes for you to try.”
She was also in a beautiful mood now.
Xiao Song agreed to brew the Century Soup for her.
This was the most likely way to make up for the flaw in her soup. She was very optimistic about Xiao Song.
When they heard that they could have all they wanted, everyone's eyes lit up.
But they didn’t forget to thank her, “Thank you!”
Jie Nai turned around and went to make other delicacies.
Next, everyone finished the rest of the soup in their bowls.
They could continue getting refills, it was so comfortable.
Today’s soup was free for all.
They also got to taste Jie Nai’s other delicacies.
Everyone was incredibly satisfied.
Time flew by, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.
They could continue eating, but they felt a little embarrassed.
Their eating speed was exceeding Jie Nai’s cooking and brewing speed.
Therefore, they all slowed down, no longer as crazy as before.
They also started chatting.
This was the perfect opportunity for Yi Long to probe Su Ming and the others.
He looked at Su Ming and the others, smiling, and said:
“Gentlemen, thank you for cleaning up those guys who came to the First Ecological Zone to cause trouble.”
“We IGO have been having a hard time dealing with those guys.”
Su Ming and the others didn’t speak, they just nodded slightly.
Yi Long began his second step, continuing:
“But I heard that those guys you cleaned up.”
“There were some masters among them. It’s clear that you all have extraordinary strength.”
“Are you interested in joining the IGO?”
“We can work together to maintain world order and create a peaceful future.”
“You can name your own conditions, anything I can do, I will fulfill it.”
He extended an olive branch, wanting to recruit them.
Of course, this wasn't his main purpose.
His main goal was to probe their reaction under the guise of peace.
This allowed him to quickly determine if they posed a threat.
If they yearned for peace, were not averse to it, and mostly had a sense of justice.
Then they wouldn’t be much of a threat.
On the contrary, that would mean they were a potential, potentially explosive, enormous threat.
Su Ming and the others didn't know his thoughts.
But they weren't interested in joining the IGO at all.
Su Ming shook his head slightly and directly refused:
“Thank you for your invitation, but we're used to being free.”
“We have no intention of joining any organization.”
Yi Long pretended to be a little disappointed, he sighed lightly and said:
“Oh, that’s a pity.”
“IGO needs strong people like you.”
“But since you don't want to join, I won’t force you.”
“However, I have a request, I wonder if you can grant it?”
“What request?” Su Ming was a little curious.
Yi Long also stated his ultimate goal:
“I’ve recently encountered a bottleneck in my martial arts practice, and it's difficult to break through.”
“I wonder if you gentlemen could spar with me, so that I can find some inspiration from it to seek a breakthrough.”
“As for why I chose you, it’s because you were able to eliminate those pests who invaded the First Ecological Zone, your strength must be extraordinary.”
“And someone like me, who has reached a certain level of strength, it’s hard to find a breakthrough when sparring with weaker opponents.”
“Therefore, today I came to meet these kids, but in fact, I have a selfish motive, I want to spar with you all to find a breakthrough.”
“Therefore, I hope you will grant my request!”
