Across the vast reaches of space, all kinds of nebulae formed a dazzling cosmic tapestry, beautiful and distant, yet hiding danger.
At the edge of the outer spiral arm of a deep blue nebula shaped like a conch shell, a massive ship suddenly appeared. Xue Xi watched the simulated scenery inside the ship and couldn't help marveling at the splendor of the universe.
Ling Ke, a flight attendant and World Lord, approached from behind and thoughtfully introduced the sights along the way. "Ms. Xue, we've entered Fengluo Star Sector and reached the Azure Star System, where Baishao Star is located. The ship will arrive at Baishao Star in six hours. I'll remain docked at the port for a year while waiting for your return."
Xue Xi nodded. For the past three months, she had stayed aboard the ship, practicing in the Virtual Culinary Space. She wasn't particularly interested in entering the Ganwu Secret Realm, but there were only two ways to taste the contestants' dishes: become a judge or enter as a rival. So, in order to watch and sample the dishes up close, Xue Xi had signed up as a contestant too.
Six hours later, the ship docked at a huge blue-and-white planet. Under Ling Ke's watchful gaze, Xue Xi left the ship and headed for the city hosting the Gourmet Appraisal Conference.
The towering gates of Baishao City stood tall. To support the Gourmet Appraisal Conference hosted by the third princess of the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, a light screen had been raised above the gates, covered in images of all kinds of rare delicacies. The large, clear lettering could be read from several thousand meters away: "A warm welcome to food lovers from all over the universe! Present your registration number to travel freely throughout the city. Lodging
