The challange that Elena gave to all her fellow chefs was for them to create something which could match up to the dishes that she had just served. It sounded like an impossible challenge because of her insane cooking skills but that was actually not the case.

The food that Elena had server to the general population, it was not made from any insanely high level material. She had used regular ingredients and had managed to bring out their taste to the fullest possible extent.

So with enough effort, care and dedication, doing the same was not impossible for another chef. They would most probably not be able to bring out the best taste for all the ingredients like Elena but most of the chefs had their own speciality. And for that special ingredient of theirs, they should reach at least to close to Elena’s results.

If they could do so, then that would prove that the chef in question had the talent, hard work and dedication needed to become a top class cook. And those exact people would get the reward that she had planned.

The reward in question was the complete support of the newly established Guild of Eternal Feast. The guild would provide the chosen cooks with ingredients, guides and even time and lifespan if the chefs needed it.

So the only thing that the chef would needed to worry about was to make even better dishes. Even the chefs’ family would be supported by the guild with all the helps that they would need.

For this reason, getting this kind of treatment was definitely the best dream for many. So when Elena announced this, many chefs who had confidence in themselves started to push themselves to the limit and make the best food that they had ever made.

As for how Elena was going to judge their food, it was actually simple. As soon as anyone was done with their cooking and made the wish for Elena to make a judgement, she would immediately be notified about this.

Then the food would immediately appear in her hands and she would taste it herself. Elena was not really a very strict and harsh judge, so as long as the food was enough to meet a certain standard even if it was lower than her own, she was going to accept that food as eligible.

Elena herself had thought about this arrangement and she was extremely happy with this. This way, not only she was recruiting future master chefs, she was also taking advantage of this opportunity to eat various super high class dishes from many chefs with different cooking styles and ingredients.

So it was equivalent to killing two birds with one stone for Elena. She was getting to eat a lot of tasty food and was also finding talent for her new orginisation. So how could Elena not be super happy about this situation.

...

After she was done with the announcement, next she had another task to do in order to increase the appeal of this organisation of hers to others. And this next task was meant for the really strong and high level individuals.

As the previously served foods were made only from regular ingredients, they were unable to provide much boost to the stats of someone who was already decently strong. Those foods were very nutritious and even had the effect of life extension properties for regular people. But for the people who already had some level of strength and a high lifespan, they were a little useless.

Now that Elena had shown how tasty the food made by her and the members of her orginisation could be, next it was time to show the strong powerhouses some benefits too. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With that in mind, Elena was going to serve all the people who were above the level of 3000 a new set of dishes. Draegor came to make an announcement that it was him who was paying for all these valuable food as a thank you to the high level individuals for working for his empire and for protecting it.

This immediately made many people to feel grateful toward the emperor. Even though his popularity was already sky high, there was no reason for Draegor to miss an opportunity of making his subjects even more indebted to him.

Then with another snap of her finger, the high level food items appeared before everyone. Once again, Elena had made sure that all the foods that she had served would be something that the eater would love. So Elena was making sure that the recipient would be satisfied with not just the effect of the food but also the taste.

These foods were something that low level individuals would not be able to eat. If they tasted even one grain of this, there was a very high possibility that they would be blown apart and die a gruesome death.

Elena made sure to tell this fact to everyone. If there was even a single person who would start to work hard after hearing this in order to taste these foods someday, then Elena would be happy as her intention would be fulfilled.

...

The list of people who were getting the special dishes also included the level 8000 plus powerhouses. Other than the direct subordinates of the Otrefiona Emperor, there were also several other powerhouses of this rank who were temporarily staying here for various reasons.

One of them was the boss of an universal mercenary and adventurer group, a famous level 8499 powerhouse named Hobbs. He was born as goblin, one of the weakest monster races in a low grade world and had managed to reach his current power level after a lot of hard work.

Currently he was working on defeating the Celestial Chaos Spider and to conquer the tower dungeon. He had heard that after conquering it, among the reward, there was something that could help him in going past his current limit and to reach the level of 8500.

The food item that he had gotten was a large piece of meat stuck on a bone. Very simple seasoning had been spread all over the meat evenly and after taking just a simple bite, Hobbs felt as if he would soon ascend to the heaven.

After a few second had passed, Hobbs suddenly realised that the reason why he was feeling so insanely good was not just because of the taste of the food but because his bottleneck had suddenly been broken through after just taking a simple bite of this super tasty meat. He was now a level 8500 powerhouse.

After working so hard for so long, he had managed to accomplish this dream of his so easily that he was having a hard time believing that he was not dreaming. And this experience was not unique to him and many other powerhouses were also feeling the same.

So it looked like after this incident, Elena and the Guild of Eternal Feast would not lack high level powerhouses at all in the future.
