Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth.

Perhaps cooking and processing ingredients is the unique training method for gourmet hunters?

They also used the power of their energy to strike the ingredients, claiming that "the power of energy makes the meat firmer and removes the blood and fishy smell."

It must be said that this method really did have an exercise effect.

The various methods of processing materials all seem to utilize ki and Nen abilities.

In less than an hour, the two of them had finished processing all the ingredients and neatly piled them aside.

It is highly effective, comparable to a team of experienced chefs.

"With so much meat, let's have a barbecue feast today!" Menqi shouted loudly, having already put on an apron.

"Oh oh oh!" Buhara shouted excitedly.

He absolutely adores barbecue.

Kevin wanted to help, but was refused as soon as he tried.

After all, his cooking skills for everyday dishes were really not up to par in front of the two of them, so it was expected that he would be disliked.

Night falls.

The inky black night sky, like a giant cloth, obscured the heavens, with twinkling stars adorning it, creating a beautiful picture.

Soft moonlight shone down.

The outdoor barbecue officially began in the grass near the dense forest in the square.

In addition to Kevin and his two colleagues, some researchers who had not yet left also joined the event.

"Haha, it's such a shame Toby and the others left. This roast meat is absolutely delicious!" Moagu said, his eyes welling up with tears as he devoured the roast meat.

It's a dream! He saw the ingredients running around! I'm so moved!

"Who can argue with that? This is absolutely delicious! Is this the legendary Gourmet Hunter's skill?"

The elderly scholar next to him even started gesturing wildly, holding a piece of roasted meat in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, completely losing the seriousness and composure he had in the laboratory.

He seemed to have become younger.

"What are you thinking about?" Berger returned at some point, holding a piece of barbecue in one hand and a beer in the other, looking at Kevin beside him.

Bai Shu ate with gusto, shaking his head, and asked, "Isn't this delicious?"

Kevin shook his head, his chewing motion continuing, and said, "It's delicious, but the problem is it's too delicious, and it contains an extremely high concentration of energy."

Just this one skewer of grilled meat contained far more energy than the energy bars he ate during his workout.

But the key point is, this barbecue is absolutely delicious! Energy bars, those tasteless junk food, can't compare to this at all.

Moreover, after eating these roasted meats, Kevin could clearly feel that they were very easy to digest, even without using digestive medicine.

This is simply, simply perfect for pairing with [Digestive Medicine].

Chapter Fifty-Six: Digestion and Cooperation

The amount of meat piled up was enormous, weighing almost in tons.

After all, they hunted quite a few creatures, and they caught them whole.

After processing, removing the parts that are truly inedible, and bleeding and skinning, the remaining amount of meat is still astonishing.

The barbecue lasted only about two hours before most people were already too full to eat anymore.

At this point, only a few hunters remained to enjoy their meal.

As hunters, they possess Nen, and if they intend to, their appetites can indeed be slightly larger than those of ordinary people, but they are not without limits.

Just like now, only Kevin, Menchi, and Buhari are still eating barbecue.

"Come on, Kevin, don't lose to them!" Shane shouted from the sidelines.

Shant is another Nen user in Berger's team besides Shiraki. She is a brown-skinned, voluptuous woman.

As she shouted, she slammed her fist on the small table in front of her, causing waves to surge in front of her.

"How did this turn into a competitive eating contest?" Berger, who was sitting next to me smoking, asked with a puzzled look.

I really don't understand the enthusiasm of young people.

"That's just how she is, she only has her own thoughts on her mind," Bai Shu said, sipping his beer.

As soon as he finished speaking, a brown arm suddenly reached out from in front of him, tightly gripped his neck, and forcefully pulled him towards it.

Shant was muscular, and Bai Shu, who was only 1.6 meters tall, was lifted up by her and struggled in the air.

"You woman, cough cough, let go!"

"How dare you speak ill of me, you shorty!"

"Huh!? I'll fight you to the death!"

"Hmph, childish temper."

The two immediately started fighting, and the atmosphere at the scene became chaotic.

However, this did not affect Kevin; he merely glanced at it and continued eating on his own.

Time passed slowly, and apart from Kevin, Menchi, and Buhari, everyone else had left to rest.

"I'm full." Menqi breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the single sofa she had dragged over.

Looking at Buhaci next to him, he was still eating large skewers one after another, without slowing down at all.

Two large grills next to him were filled with big chunks of meat. He kept stuffing meat skewers into his mouth with one hand, while skillfully controlling the grill with the other.

Although Kevin was still eating, his average eating speed was on a completely different level compared to Buhari.

What Buhari ate in one bite was equivalent to what Kevin ate in several minutes.

Even after eating so much, Buhali's belly was still round and plump, only slightly bulging.

Judging from his current state, it seems that even if he ate all the food here, it wouldn't have much of an effect on him.

Is this the effect of Nen? Kevin pondered as he ate.

He had already determined Buhari's Nen ability type when they were in the swamp.

Now it seems that what the other party is showing is likely an enhanced Nen ability, which has increased their appetite and digestive capacity, making it perfect for a Gourmet Hunter.

Thinking of this, Kevin suddenly asked, "Can you make food that is both nutritious and easily digestible?"

Upon hearing this, Menqi sat up abruptly, and Buhali also slowed down his eating.

Menchi looked at Kevin and asked, "Are you trying to hire us to do something?"

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "You don't have any digestive aids, do you? Are you trying to strengthen your body by eating them?"

She quickly connected the dots. Considering what Kevin had said before, she felt that this guess was very likely true.

Kevin nodded directly and said, "That's right. So, are you interested in cooperating?" As he spoke, he decisively took out a vial of medicine from his pouch and placed it on the small table in front of him.

"This is a digestive medicine that will completely digest everything you eat within fifteen minutes of taking it."

The nutrients and energy stored in the body after digestion can be converted into strength by engaging in high-intensity exercise shortly afterward.

This digestive medicine is the one Kevin is currently consuming the most of, and he will continue to use it unless a better alternative comes along.

Because the body cannot fully control the changes brought about by this drug.

It is a change achieved purely through the introduction of external substances.

The body can learn to change its energy and imbue it with special qualities through self-cultivation.

Drugs stimulate the body to produce different changes, and the body can remember these changes.

However, drugs that are not part of the body's natural instincts can cause changes in the body that were not originally present. Although the body participates in these changes, the degree of participation is low, and the body cannot continue to adapt.

Because this is not closely related to the body's own functional mechanisms, the body can only remember the changes related to itself and Qi.

Digestive medicines fall into this category.

Its working principle is that after the drug enters the body, it acts directly on the food being digested, breaking it down into substances that are easily absorbed by the body and then stored there.

Although Kevin's body did not learn the ability to "digest," it mastered the final storage process.

In other words, even without the aid of drugs, Kevin's body is able to store more nutrients, energy, and fat.

Moreover, this ability seems to have no upper limit; it gradually strengthens as Kevin's body improves.

In other words, once Kevin reaches a certain level, he will be able to go without food or drink for a long time after having a full meal.

This also indirectly enhances his endurance in battle.

“This is somewhat similar to my abilities,” Buhali said frankly, pausing his eating.

"What are the side effects of this medicine?" Menchi asked.

Kevin had previously mentioned that his medication had some side effects, and they had to be careful.

If the medicine is as effective as Kevin says, it would undoubtedly be an extremely valuable supplementary medicine for the two of them.

However, if the long-term side effects are too severe, they should carefully consider whether to use it.

"You will experience diarrhea within two days of taking it."
