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

This is also normal.

After all, his relationship with Toriko is still okay.

However, the two had only just met in the wild.

That's how he got Toriko to trust him completely!

Ximen Yan also thought it was unlikely.

Now, the head of IGO's food development department is Johanes.

This must be the person Toriko summoned to make a deal with him and, incidentally, to confirm the availability of ingredients.

……

"May I take a look at the ingredients Mr. Ximen Yan is holding?"

Uhanes got straight to the point.

Although he still trusted Toriko very much.

However, this kind of thing still needs to be confirmed.

After all, there are some ingredients that IGO has, but Toriko has never actually seen before.

So there's still a possibility of misunderstanding.

"No problem at all."

Ximen Yan calmly agreed.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out a lot of ingredients from his food storage space and placed them in front of him.

Then Ximen Yan took the initiative to introduce himself.

"These are grape spider eggs, big-nosed mad boars, and mischievous strawberry turtles..."

Yuhanes examined the ingredients.

Yuhanes is the Minister of Food Development.

It can be said that IGO has basically seen all the ingredients that he has ever discovered.

Some of the ingredients that Ximen Yan brought out looked quite unique.

Therefore, just by looking at the appearance, Uhanes can make a judgment.

Indeed, there are quite a few ingredients that the IGO has not discovered before.

However, some of them were difficult for Uhanes to distinguish with his eyes alone.

For example, grape spider eggs.

There are several types of these brown, spotted eggs in IGO.

There are even two types that are very similar in size and shape to grape spider eggs.

So, if you want to determine whether it's an unknown ingredient...

More professional identification is needed.

In addition, IGO has no fewer than ten species of frogs similar in size to the trap frog.

After all, the trap frog is just a little overweight.

It actually looks pretty much like an enlarged frog.

Naturally, similar situations can easily arise.

Ximen Yan was not surprised by this.

After all, there are about 30 known ingredients in the world of Gourmet.

It's quite normal to find similar ingredients to what he brought out.

Of course, Ximen Yan can be certain.

Even if they are similar, they can't be the same.

After all, the ingredients he brought out were completely from another world for the world of Toriko!

"By the way, there's also this."

Ximen Yan thought for a moment and took out a small bottle of horned scales.

After all, even grape spider eggs are just a relatively ordinary delicacy for IGO.

If he comes to Toriko again in the future.

We will inevitably have to deal with the IGO.

So, naturally, we still need to show our strength.

This will make IGO pay more attention to him.

……

Toriko shuddered as he saw the small bottle of horned scales that Ximen Yan had taken out.

Then saliva started flowing uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.

"What is this, Ximenyan? It looks delicious!"

Toriko couldn't help but lean closer to examine the horned scale in Simon's hand more closely.

And he kept swallowing.

His cells kept urging him to eat the food in front of him.

However, Toriko's control is still very strong.

So even though they were drooling, they just looked on.

"These are horn scales from a horn bear."

"Just sprinkle this on rice and it becomes a very delicious dish."

Ximen Yan glanced at Alu and explained.

At the same time, he silently took a step back.

He was afraid that Aru's saliva would drown him.

It is said that these horned scales also have an effect on Toriko.

This is indeed a rather special ingredient!

Yuhanes glanced at Toriko's performance, seemingly lost in thought.

“Mr. Simon Yan, our IGO is willing to spend 100 million yuan to purchase this horned scale.”

Yuhanes looked at Simon Yan very seriously and said.

As the head of the IGO Food Development Department.

Euhanes knows quite a lot.

For example, different people's food preferences will lead them to like different ingredients (food).

For most people, a certain ingredient (food) may simply be something that tastes delicious.

However, for a very small number of people...

However, it is a special ingredient (food) that can enable their gourmet cells to evolve.

For example, Director Mansam of the IGO First Reserve and the Culinary Research Base has a particular fondness for ingredients (food) containing alcohol.

Therefore, some ingredients (delicacies) containing a lot of alcohol can cause the gourmet cells in Mansam to evolve.

There's also Sani, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet Food, whose culinary instincts lean towards ingredients (food) that look beautiful.

Therefore, these beautiful ingredients (delicious food) enable Sani's culinary cells to evolve.

Apart from these ingredients (foods) that can only inspire the culinary instincts of a very small number of people, there are other options.

There are also some special ingredients (delicacies) that have strong universality.

It can make most people's culinary sense evolve.

For example, pufferfish, jewel meat, and century soup are all special ingredients with universal applicability.

Chapter 34 Entering the Gourmet Research Institute

According to Eugènez.

The horned scales that Ximen Yan took out.

Even if it's not the kind of ingredient that can evolve most people's culinary sense.

That would definitely be an ingredient that could allow Toriko's gourmet cells to evolve.

After all, it's actually quite simple to determine whether a certain ingredient (food) can cause its own food cells to evolve.

People with a knack for food will find themselves drawn to ingredients (food) that suit them.

The body will experience a very strong urge to eat this food.

In terms of specific behavior, it's similar to how Toriko is drooling right now.

It was precisely because the horned scales in Simon's hands could cause Toriko's gourmet cells to evolve.

That's why Uhanes didn't hesitate to offer a high price of 100 million yuan.

After all, Euhanes was aware of Toriko's identity.

In fact, he helped the Four Heavenly Kings of Food handle some miscellaneous tasks.

But what about the task assigned to him by IGO's chairman, Il-ryong?

Otherwise, he is the head of the IGO Food Development Department, after all.

There are so many things to deal with every day.

How can I be available every time I call?

In order to enhance Toriko's strength, 100 million yen was allocated to purchase ingredients.

Even Ichiryu, the chairman, wouldn't say anything.

……

Of course, this would apply if the horned scales in Ximen Yan's possession were a special ingredient with universal applicability.

If it were purchased for 100 million yuan.

For IGO, it's even more of a win-win situation.

After all, even though IGO has mastered many kinds of ingredients.

However, this is a special ingredient (food) that is universally applicable and can make most people's culinary cells evolve.

There's not much that IGO can fully grasp.

Many people only know where the ingredients (food) are produced.

For example, the IGO doesn't have information about pufferfish whales or century soup; they only know the locations.

……

After thinking for a moment, Ximen Yan nodded.

"make a deal."

In fact, judging from Uhanes' performance...

Even if he asked for more money for this small bottle of horned scales...

Yuhanes would probably agree as well.

However, he originally intended to maintain a friendly relationship with IGO.

So they gave up on the idea of ​​haggling.

Yuhanes breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He knew he had been a little too eager.
