The smart robot advanced forward and conducted a scan and sampling test on the dishes Ruan Tang had just finishing cooking. After no more than five minutes, the robot pronounced the dishes as "qualified".

Next, it took out a tray and loaded onto it Ruan Tang's three dishes and started to leave through the door that it came in through. At the same time, it beckoned towards Ruan Tang to follow.

The small door opened and revealed the suspended board. When Ruan Tang stepped on top of it, it slowly ascended to the upper floor. The evaluation room was on the third floor. When the suspended board stopped, he alighted and followed behind the smart robot through a ring-like hallway. He entered the large meeting room. Ruan Tang saw three people wearing the white chef's uniform seated inside the room. These should be the examiners.

"Are you Ruan Tang?" Among them, a man with a straight mustache with his eyes narrowed, faced towards him and asked.

"I am." This type of attitude definitely couldn't be considered friendly, but Ruan Tang didn't think much about it, simply thinking that this examiner was relatively more serious.

Mustachioed man once again asked, "These are your three dishes?"

"That's right." Said Ruan Tang.

"Your luck isn't too good, but we are professional examiners and we cannot lower the requirements for you." The mustachioed examiner revealed a smile that was yet not a smile. His eyes turned towards the three dishes brought by the smart robot. Although the appearance of these dishes were quite good, he looked as though he didn't agree and merely said, "Any food if you boil it, can be eaten. You should also know this. However, your attempt to pass with such trickery is of no use."

He raised his face slightly, and said in a dignified manner, "Since you are bold enough to join the chef's assessment, you must know that the fish head has a lot of internal organs. However, unexpectedly, you did not process it at all and simply tossed the entire fish head into the pot. Were you relying on the high temperature to eliminate the impurities?"

Qi Zhuo shook his head. "Young people these days, just because you've met with some success online, you already disregard the honor and dignity of good food!" As he said this, his eyelids drooped low. He appeared as though he wished iron could turn straight into steel. But in fact, his eyes flashed unmistakable malice.

After the assessment candidate had entered the meeting room, he couldn't just block the monitoring cameras. The entire process would be uploaded onto the Chefs' Association's website, therefore even if he wanted to eliminate Ruan Tang, he absolute must not let other people pick out any mistakes.

These ingredients, aside from the eggs, if they weren't new ingredients, they were infamously known by everyone as scrap ingredients. The spectators might already be skeptical, he thus used these statements to instigate some disharmony. For these viewers, the first impression would be the strongest. They would think that Ruan Tang had smashed the pot because it was cracked and that he had come out with these dishes not because he had braved cooking these despite the obvious risks but because he sought to cheat his way through the assessment. In this way, he would be justified in eliminating Ruan Tang. After all, who could blame luck?

Even so, if someone does go and eat it, they would have their own reasons.

Having his carefully prepared dishes being ruthlessly dismissed like some randomly cooked garbage, Ruan Tang couldn't help but feel somewhat angry. However, he and the other party had no conflicting interests and he couldn't understand why the other person was acting this way. He could only reason that these intergalactic people weren't familiar with the delicacies that used these ingredients and thus they were prejudiced against them. However, he was certain that the examiner would change his mind if he just had a taste.
