Li Wei had a pretty good sense of smell. Even without the correct answers supplied by intermediate Appraisal, he could still identify nineteen of them by scent.
He had possessed a keen nose since childhood.
That was why the Old Master had made him learn to cook from an early age.
After writing down his answers for the powdered Berries, Li Wei picked up the mixed Berry Juice and took a sip.
Given Li Wei's excellent performance in the first round,
and his established reputation, Morikawa, Tetsugoro, and Dailan focused most of their attention on him.
They wanted to see how many points Li Wei could score.
"So fast."
"Is his sense of smell really that good?"
Unlike tasting Berry Juice, identifying Berries by smell alone put a person's natural sense of smell to a serious test.
Either you could do it or you couldn't.
Tetsugoro's thick brows knitted tightly.
"Who came up with this question?"
Dailan shook her head helplessly. "Who else? Mr. Harold, the organizer of the Pokémon Breeder Competition."
Recalling Harold's way of doing things,
the muscular Tetsugoro agreed. "True. Only he would come up with a crazy question like this."
"But he's offering far too much."
"This year's Champion is in for a treat."
In previous years, Mr. Harold hadn't set all the questions.
Whenever he did, it meant he took that year's competition very seriously, and the prizes he offered were bound to be generous.
His questions might have been bizarre,
but he paid well!
Morikawa thought back for a moment.
"This is the tenth competition he's held since taking over from his grandfather and father. It makes sense for him to give it some extra attention."
