Chapter 2457: I Am Not Into This Couple!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In this semifinal, the programming division decided to do something new.

Initially, the programming division would provide the ingredients and let the contestants choose, but now the rules had become that the programming division provided the funds for the contestants to go and purchase the ingredients at the market at basement one.

Then they would use the ingredients that they bought to cook.

Meanwhile, the programming division would be following their every move and live-streaming them.

The time used to buy the ingredients would be taken into the total time frame, but it would still be two hours.

This was a very interesting improvement. Mag guessed that this was to test the contestants’ ability to choose the ingredients.

Of course, if the ingredients prepared by the programming division were all the best, then he could forget about that statement.

Moreover, this might be the Mocha Group trying to promote its own mall. After all, it was such an influential program. The publicity of live-streaming the top four contestants buying their ingredients would be hard to imagine for the usual advertisers.

“Why did they change the rules suddenly? I have to go buy my own ingredients?” In the next dressing room, Iman was shocked after he saw the message. He began to look nervous.

Even though he had learned to cook for years, he had always stayed in the Tucker Restaurant’s kitchen. They had professional suppliers and the situation where the chefs had to go buy their own ingredients had never occured.

Now that the programming division had suddenly added this rule at the last minute, it was, undoubtedly, adding onto his stress.

His manager consoled him. “Don’t be nervous. I have already found out that this is a tactic for the Mocha Group to attract traffic to its own mall. The mall is definitely stocked with the best ingredients. You just have to find the ingredients you need with the fastest speed. You can choose anything you like.”

“I got it.” Iman nodded. That was right. The mall couldn’t be damaging its own reputation.

Angelina, who had just finished her makeup, clicked on the message too. She looked expectant. “Interesting. They actually set this new rule. That is the mall that only the rich shop in. We don’t often get this kind of shopping experience.”

At the same time, the Top Chef Competition began its live-streaming. The scene started from the contestants finishing their makeup and receiving the message from the programming division.

The scene then switched to the stage.

David smilingly said, “I didn’t expect them to change the rules. I was wondering why the contestants were not here yet. I didn’t expect the programming division to keep it a secret from us too.”

“This rule is a new breakthrough. Getting the contestants out of the restaurant to choose their ingredients personally. This will test the contestants’ ability to choose the ingredients. To a chef, this is a very important ability.” Old Hunter nodded.

“This is the Mocha Mall. It supplies the very best ingredients and it’s also the special supplier for all the big F&B groups. It’s harder than striking the lottery to find an unqualified ingredient in the mall.” Another judge chimed in with a laugh, making an opening advertisement for the mall.

The show’s opening with the judges’ chit chatting made the show’s ambiance become lively.

However, there was an interesting phenomenon in the Top Chef Competition’s live-streaming channels.

The Top Chef Competition’s popularity went to an even greater level due to the Horace incident. The number of audience members in the official live-studio was actually below the number of audience members in Hades’ personal live-studio!

The respective number of audience members were 500,000,000 and 550,000,000.

“I have turned on the dual-screen mode. One to watch Brother Hades and the other to listen to the judges’ comments. It’s the best of both worlds.”

“I have already switched off the main live-stream. Listening to a group of gross middle-aged men chit chatting affects my watching of a handsome man.”

“He cooks so well and is so righteous. Moreover, he’s also so good-looking. I’m in love.”

“The others look shocked. Only my big brother is calm and collected.”

The bullet chat refreshed crazily and the number of audience members in both the live-studios were still increasing rapidly.

***

A staff member entered the dressing room and informed Mag that the live-stream had already begun. He gestured to Mag to turn off his bangle and follow the staff member to the mall at basement one.

Mag turned off his bangle cooperatively. He threw a glance at the camera in the dressing room’s corner. He wondered if any contestants’ unglamorous behaviors were being streamed live.

The four contestants gathered outside the lift. Mag nodded politely before standing there quietly.

Whereas, Iman and Padas greeted him with a laugh, as though they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

Meanwhile, their expressions were still “I don’t know you” during breakfast in the restaurant.

Mag lowered his eyes to hide the amusement in them. He didn’t intend to perform too much in front of the camera.

However, the maiden next to him didn’t think so.

She deliberately walked over to Mag quickly and stood in front of him. She said with a slight blush, “Mr. Hades, you must be completely at ease with the new rule, right?”

Mag didn’t expect Angelina to approach him in the competition, moreover, doing so in front of the camera. However, he couldn’t ignore her, so he simply replied with a polite smile, “Choosing the ingredients is a chef’s basic skill. There’s indeed no pressure.”

“My mother told me the same thing before.” Angelina’s eyes lit up as she looked at Mag with an increasingly adoring gaze and said with embarrassment, “But I have trouble making decisions. I guess I will be overwhelmed.”

“I don’t agree with this marriage!”

“What’s the matter with this girl? Is she adding in a relationship plot? It’s so awkward!”

“Where’s my aloof goddess, Angelina? Why did she suddenly become a fan girl? And a little confused too?”

“Hahaha. This is my first time watching this show. Am I the only one who thinks that these two are rather compatible?”

“No, no! I am not into this couple. Brother Hades is mine!”

The bullet chat went into a frenzy.

On the scene, Nancy was also giving Johnny an enquiring look.

Johnny shrugged in befuddlement, showing that he had no idea about what was going on.

At the start of the show, he had once thought about making the good-looking and capable Angelina a couple with another contestant to increase the contestants’ popularity. However, this suggestion was rejected by Angelina because she didn’t want to be a couple with anybody.

The rejected man, Iman, was still on the stage right now.

And now, Angelina suddenly took the initiative to approach Hades and did something that didn’t match her persona.

Hades’ performance yesterday had indeed brought a lot of traffic to the show.

However, the entire Internet took him to be the reincarnation of justice now. Even the ridiculous thing of his personal live-studio’s number of audience members being greater than the main live-studio’s had happened.

At this time, Angelina’s actions wouldn’t bring in fans who liked them to be a couple. Instead, it would cause more doubts and hatred.

However, with a heated discussion meant more traffic. Looking at the bullet chat curve that was being sent as feedback by the technical staff, Johnny quickly decided against reminding Angelina.

“Wow. Is this woman trying to get close to my man?” At the penthouse on top of the Twin Towers, Akali sat up straight and looked at Angelina judgingly before making a comment. “Her butt isn’t as perky as mine, her bosoms aren’t as big as mine. She isn’t as rich as me. She’s not a threat.”
