I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3423 Before the Emperor
The most extreme approach mentioned here is of course to directly detonate the entire ship.

Just as Linton said before, the dark cuisine world is still quite extreme in its actions. The entire ship has already been equipped with a large number of gunpowder barrels, and if any problems arise in the competition, they plan to detonate them directly.

However, what Yizhangqing Xiangen is thinking now is, why not just detonate it directly. After all, she knows very well who Aizen belongs to.

The rule of the new empire has just been established. Although it is intimidated by Aizen's military force, the new empire actually has a lot of problems and hidden dangers.

If something happened to Aizen at this time, the whole situation might become chaotic.

This is a good thing for the dark cuisine world. After all, their goal is to control the entire empire through cuisine, and they are naturally not afraid of chaos. Only chaos will give them the opportunity to destroy the existing order.

But even though she thought of this, Xiang En was still a little hesitant. On the one hand, although it might be an opportunity for the dark cuisine world, it was just an opportunity. Even if it succeeded, it could not guarantee positive benefits. But if it failed, it would definitely bring a major crisis to the dark cuisine world. Aizen's revenge would obviously be quite fierce. After hearing the intelligence that came in these days, she was quite sure of this.

On the other hand, it is probably the influence of the world's will. After all, this is a world dominated by food, and even the villains will more or less have the idea of ​​"solving all problems with food".

If it is just pure rebellion, then the dark cuisine world obviously does not have to rely on cuisine, because if you take it away from the theme of this world, what the dark cuisine world is doing is obviously quite ridiculous. No normal person would think that being able to cook can control the entire world.

Since they have already done so, they will naturally be affected in this way.

Linton could see Xiang En's expression and knew that this guy might be thinking very intensely. But Linton obviously didn't care.

He couldn't possibly worry about being killed by a few barrels of gunpowder.

"Yizhangqing Xiangen, right?" Linton said at this time.

"Yes." Hearing Linton calling his name, Yizhangqing Xiangen came back to his senses and clasped his hands together and responded, "Sir."

I don’t know what to call him, so I can only call him Lord Linton.

"What do you say? Do you want to compete or not?" Linton asked with a frown.

"Of course...than." Xiang En said directly.

"Then why are you guys standing here? Is this the place for you? Go down." Linton said with a wave of his hand.

Xiang En was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Linton to just let her go. Now she was somewhat confused about Linton's attitude, of course, he was talking about his attitude towards their dark cooking world.

After thinking about it, Xiang En also walked to the stage with the two people in black robes behind him.

"Okay, stop howling." Linton spoke again, and the howling of ghosts and wolves in the stands finally stopped. It can only be said that most of the audience have been exhausted by howling, but if they don't howl hard, they are afraid that Linton will really kill them.

Now they didn't want to watch any cooking showdown at all, they wanted to go back now. Unfortunately, now was not the time for them to regret, without Linton's permission, how could they leave. As soon as Linton spoke, the scene immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Linton and waited for his next arrangement.

"Yeah, yeah, so I said at the beginning that I'm just here to be a judge. Why do you have to make so many things happen, right?" Linton spread his hands and said, "Well, now that everyone has no problems, the competition should start. However, it seems that this duel will have to be upgraded a little bit."

"What this guy said just now doesn't count." Linton pointed at Yizhangqing Xiangen and said, "Since I am the judge, I should be the one to announce the start of the competition. Then I declare now that the competition is now officially upgraded to the imperial competition... Wait."

Linton stopped talking halfway and said, "I'm sorry, there was a problem with the steps."

Everyone was visibly stunned, not knowing what question Linton was talking about.

However, at this time, Linton turned directly to Aizen next to him and said, "Aizen, you should abdicate."

Linton's words made everyone present feel breathless. This... this is too bold. Although I don't know what the relationship between Linton and Aizen is, Aizen is indeed the emperor of the New Empire. This... is too direct.

However, Aizen's answer made them even more suffocated. Aizen nodded directly after hearing this: "Oh, okay."

So, he just nodded like that? Wasn't it a handover ceremony for the ruler of this huge empire, and it was just like this, in full view of the public, with just a few words to answer a question?

You are being too frivolous. This situation made everyone present a little confused. It really shocked their worldview. In their eyes, even if the store manager of a store is replaced by someone else, this is not the way to hand over.

“Yes, yes, that’s right now.” Before everyone could come to their senses, Linton nodded and said, “As you can see, I am the emperor now, so this competition will be directly upgraded to a royal cooking showdown.”

"Uh..." For some reason, everyone felt a little strange when they heard Linton's words.

Why do I feel like you became the emperor just to make this competition called "Yuqian"? This feeling is like making dumplings for a plate of vinegar.

Of course, this is indeed the case. Linton just thinks the name "Imperial Cuisine Showdown" sounds nice.

This guy's reasons for doing things are always more superficial than others imagine.

"According to the wishes of both parties in the competition, the winner of this duel will obtain the map of the legendary kitchen utensils and the method to solve the puzzle. He will also be able to gain a voice in the culinary world of the Magic City. There is no problem for both parties, right?" Linton began to host the event seriously.

"No problem, Your Majesty." Xiang En on this side adapted quickly and said directly.

"We too." Liu Maoxing, who had come to his senses, showed the magnanimity of a protagonist. Although a lot of things had happened before, he calmed down at this time and did not ask any more questions, focusing on the cooking duel.

"The competition is divided into four rounds, namely appetizer soup, snacks, and two main dishes. Each side will have four people competing against each other." Linton continued.

After Linton finished speaking, Liu Maoxing didn't react much. But Xiang En looked at Linton in confusion, and said... why is he talking about my lines?
