Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

Occupation: Junior Food Procurement Officer

Combat strength: 210

Abilities: Gourmet Cells, Fire

Food Space: 634 Grape Spider Eggs, 32 Fierce-Nosed Boars, 13 Mischievous Strawberry Turtles, 5 Trap Frogs, 1248 grams of Horned Scales...

Trading task: Complete food transactions with a cumulative value of 100 million yen.

Task Rewards: Random World Procurement Card (15 days), Three Multiverse Ingredient Cooking Analysis Cards

Ximen Yan stared at his personal profile screen, lost in thought.

The new task wasn't too troublesome for Ximen Yan.

After all, there's only a requirement regarding the transaction amount, and what he has in hand are the ingredients.

If the transaction is completed, it will be sufficient to fulfill this transaction objective.

However, this trading mission did not require him to trade only in the Food Wars! world.

In other words, it's entirely possible for him to trade ingredients in the world of Toriko.

In fact, the previous mission did not have this requirement.

However, he simply didn't have the opportunity to make a deal with the people in the Hunter x Hunter world.

After some thought, Ximen Yan decided that he would take the remaining ingredients to the world of Gourmet Prisoner for trade.

After all, there's so much delicious food in the world of Gourmet!

The money earned from the transaction can be used to purchase some ingredients.

Ximen Yan has already looked into it; once the transaction is completed...

Even if he spends the money again, it won't affect the completion of the mission.

However, if he uses the money to buy ingredients and then trades them, it won't count as part of the mission.

This was nothing to Ximen Yan.

After all, once the mission was completed, the random world purchasing card rewarded by the mission allowed him to go to another world to purchase ingredients.

Not to mention, once he arrives in the world of Gourmet Devil, he plans to personally purchase some ingredients.

However, Ximen Yan was very curious about the other reward, the Multiverse Ingredients and Cooking Analysis Card.

This is a reward that has never appeared before.

After inquiring with the system...

Ximen Yan also understood the function of the Multiverse Ingredients Cooking Analysis Card.

Simply put, it's like he found an ingredient but didn't know how to cook it.

Then you can use this Multiverse Ingredient Cooking Analysis Card to analyze the ingredients.

Then you'll be able to learn how to cook this ingredient.

At first glance, this doesn't seem to be very useful.

However, in Ximen Yan's view, this Multiverse Ingredient Cooking Analysis Card is actually very precious.

After all, some ingredients cannot be made into delicious dishes without mastering the cooking methods.

In the world of Gourmet Delight, there are many such ingredients.

Even the complete menu of the culinary god Acacia requires special cooking methods to prepare.

Of course, such ingredients must also exist in other worlds.

If you obtain a very rare ingredient but don't know how to cook it...

At that time, the Multiverse Ingredients and Cooking Analysis Card naturally came in handy!

……

After reviewing the new tasks.

Ximen Yan began to think about his next plan.

His combat power has now reached 210, although it is unknown what capture level that corresponds to in the Toriko world.

However, Ximen Yan knew that his strength was not considered too strong even in the human world of the 'Toriko' world.

So before heading to the world of Gourmet Devil.

Ximen Yan felt that he should first strengthen his own power.

After all, only those with strong capabilities can procure rarer ingredients!

Moreover, his gourmet cells have now evolved once, which means he has broken through his strength bottleneck.

Therefore, as long as he has enough delicious food to eat, his strength can increase rapidly until he reaches the next bottleneck.

To break through the bottleneck, the food cells will need to evolve again.

Generally speaking, this requires some special dishes like horn-shaped rice bowls.

Of course, there are quite a few such delicacies in the world of food lovers.

For example, pufferfish, jewel meat, and century soup...

Besides eating this special delicacy.

Consuming large amounts of delicious food can also help food cells evolve.

However, this will take a long time.

Of course, for Ximen Yan, who has just broken through a bottleneck, this is not something he needs to consider for the time being.

At least for the time being, Ximenyan will not be able to continue to evolve the food cells.

After all, he just evolved his food cells once, and he's still a long way from the bottleneck of the next evolution.

Even if we find a special food that can evolve the food cells before that, we still need to consider the possibilities.

Once ingested, the food cells basically do not evolve.

It will only bring the food cells closer to the next evolution.

……

If Ximen Yan wants to increase his strength, he undoubtedly needs a lot of delicious food.

So Ximen Yan came to Totsuki Academy again.

Moreover, Ximen Yan also brought a portion of all the ingredients he had found in the Hunter x Hunter world.

However, this time Ximen Yan did not come to trade ingredients with Nakiri Senzaemon.

Instead, he came specifically to find Erina Nakiri.

When she learned that Ximen Yan had come to see her, Nakiri Erina didn't pay much attention.

She didn't care at first, but after learning that Ximen Yan had brought a lot of new ingredients this time.

Erina Nakiri immediately became interested.

After all, all Ximen Yan is currently selling to Totsuki Academy are the Magpie-Nosed Boar and the Grape Spider Egg.

As for the matter of Senzaemon Nakiri obtaining a small bottle of horn scales.

Since Erina Nakiri wasn't there at the time, she didn't know.

Afterwards, Senzaemon Nakiri did not tell Erina Nakiri about it.

After all, Erina Nakiri's God Tongue hasn't evolved to the point where it's comparable to Managi Nakiri's yet.

Therefore, there is not a pressing need for horned scales.

Erina Nakiri, along with Hisako Shinomiya, found Yanagi Nishimon.

They also visited the new ingredients brought by Simon!

After seeing all sorts of bizarre ingredients.

Erina Nakiri was extremely excited.

"We at Totsuki Academy will take all of these ingredients."

Erina Nakiri said in a very generous manner.

They didn't even intend to ask about the price! Of course, Erina Nakiri has the confidence to do so.

Looking at Erina Nakiri's dignified demeanor, she does indeed have the air of Senzaemon Nakiri!

However, Ximen Yan wasn't there to sell ingredients.

Please give me flowers and monthly tickets! Your support is the driving force behind my writing.

Chapter 25: A Cooperation with Erina

Ximen Yan shook his head at Nakiri Erina.

He then spoke very calmly.

"I have no intention of selling these ingredients."

However, as soon as Ximen Yan finished speaking, Nakiri Erina cast a murderous glare at him.

Not selling? Then did Ximen Yan bring these ingredients just to amuse her?

Moreover, seeing so many unfamiliar ingredients, yet unable to try cooking them.

Do you know how much this will hurt her?

Ximen Yan completely ignored Nakiri Erina's murderous gaze.

He continued speaking with a calm expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to make fun of you."

However, Ximen Yan didn't waste any time and instead revealed his purpose.

"I'm here to collaborate with you, Ms. Erina."

"I can provide the ingredients for free, but I need to take a portion of the dish you make."

After all, one of them wanted to try cooking some new ingredients, while the other just wanted to eat delicious food.

They're a match made in heaven!

Of course, this is also because Erina Nakiri is a skilled cook.

The delicious food he makes will definitely greatly enhance his skills.

Erina Nakiri glanced at Simon and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Erina Nakiri initially wanted to refuse the collaboration proposed by Simon.

However, this means she won't be able to cook with all these rare ingredients!

So after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like it's impossible to agree.

Consider it as hiring a food taster.

"I agreed."

Erina Nakiri agreed.

This relieved Ximen Yan.

After all, what if Erina Nakiri doesn't agree?

He had no idea where to find another chef with excellent culinary skills.

"I disagree!"

Suddenly, Hisako Shinto's excited voice rang out from beside her.

This attracted the attention of Nishimura and Erina Nakiri.

Hisako Shinto looked at Yan Ximen with righteous indignation and said.

"Erina-sama's cooking is not something everyone can taste!"
