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

Is it because the new player protection period has ended?

Moreover, this mission required him to go to the Hunter x Hunter world to make purchases.

This left him no choice but to be cautious.

Chapter 7 Incorporating Gourmet Cells

Ximen Yan still has some understanding of the Hunter x Hunter world.

The ingredients in the Hunter x Hunter world are indeed abundant.

However, obtaining it is not so easy.

After all, those rare ingredients are mostly found in the secret realms and demonic realms of Hunter x Hunter, or in some restricted areas.

These places are not places that ordinary people can enter.

Therefore, the safest way to enter these places is to become a hunter directly.

It's clearly impossible for him to become a hunter in just ten days.

After all, it's normal for a typical Hunter Exam to last for more than half a month once it officially begins.

Not to mention that you have to apply in advance.

Aside from becoming a hunter, the only other option is to buy it with money.

While you might not get anything too rare, you should still be able to obtain quite a few rare ingredients.

However, the cost is quite high.

The system does offer a global currency conversion service! That is, it can convert the Japanese yen in his possession into Jenny from the Hunter x Hunter world.

Unfortunately, he only had a few million yen.

There's simply no way to buy many rare ingredients.

Add to that the transportation issues, and in the end, you might only get a small amount of ingredients.

After returning to his rented room, Ximen Yan gathered information about Hunter x Hunter and began to think about how to complete the system's mission.

Soon, Ximen Yan devised two strategies.

Firstly, after joining Hunter x Hunter, if he is close to the Heaven's Arena, he will go directly to the Heaven's Arena.

Keep in mind that if you keep fighting until you reach floor 200, you can get about 200 million Jenny. In the Hunter x Hunter world, Jenny has roughly the same purchasing power as Japanese Yen.

Therefore, 200 million Jini can buy a lot of ingredients, and completing the system's procurement tasks is still quite easy.

Of course, you need great strength to reach the 200th floor.

With his current combat strength of 5, he probably won't even be able to get past the first level, since he's currently just a weakling with a combat strength of 5.

However, he still has some culinary cells he hasn't used yet.

Then, combined with the natural rice, grapes, and spider eggs he had previously left behind, his strength would definitely be greatly enhanced.

Even if you don't have the strength to reach the 200th floor, as long as you don't get stuck on the first few dozen floors...

He could use the money he earned to buy delicious food, thereby quickly improving his strength.

Of course, this means he would no longer have 200 million jini to buy ingredients.

However, as long as the system's procurement task can be completed, that's fine.

Secondly, if it's too far from the Sky Arena.

Then just find out about the nearby restricted areas and smuggle yourself in.

This method is somewhat risky.

However, having no other choice, he had to take the risk.

……

And now, what he needs to do is, of course, use the gourmet cells!

Take a test tube from the system; the test tube contains a golden liquid.

According to the system, as long as he drinks it, the food cells will be able to integrate into his body and transform it.

However, this process requires a lot of energy.

The system doesn't specify how much energy is required.

Therefore, despite the presence of natural rice and grape spider eggs.

Ximen Yan still felt somewhat uneasy.

Fortunately, this did not stump Ximen Yan.

Ximenyan first cooked the remaining natural rice and grape spider eggs.

Natural rice balls are formed into rice balls, and grape spider eggs are peeled open.

Then it was stored in the food storage space.

Afterwards, Ximen Yan came out of the rented room and hailed a taxi.

Then we arrived at Tokyo's largest and most luxurious buffet restaurant!

A meal costing 30,000 yen is enough to illustrate just how abundant the ingredients are.

After paying the fee, I took my seat.

Ximen Yan quickly served up a large amount of food and ate until he was about 80% full.

Then he took out the food cell and drank it.

Immediately, Ximen Yan felt changes beginning to occur in his body.

His body began to heat up, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable, as if he were soaking in warm water at a suitable temperature, and his whole body felt warm.

However, immediately afterward, Ximen Yan felt the food he had just eaten being digested rapidly.

He felt hungry.

He quickly picked up the prepared food and ate it.

However, Ximen Yan felt that he could not eat as fast as he could digest.

The feeling of hunger intensified.

Ximen Yan thought quickly.

Soon, while stuffing food into his mouth with his right hand, Ximen Yan took an egg out of his pocket with his left hand. It was a grape spider egg.

Of course, the action of taking it out of his pocket was just to deceive others; in fact, he took it out of his food storage space.

Put the grape spider egg into your mouth.

With a slight chew, Ximen Yan suddenly felt his body shudder, and all his muscles swelled up.

Of course, in contrast, there was an even stronger feeling of hunger.

Therefore, Ximen Yan could only continue to take grape spider eggs from his 'pocket'.

As the last grape spider egg entered his mouth.

Ximenyan felt a sense of satisfaction emanating from his cells.

But I was still hungry.

Ximenyan can only continue to take the medication.

Just like at the beginning, he ate faster than he could digest.

Helpless, Ximen Yan could only take out a natural rice ball from his 'pocket' once again.

……

Because of Ximen Yan's exaggerated eating habits.

Many diners in the buffet restaurant couldn't help but look at Ximen Yan.

Some people even kept bringing food to Ximenyan, just to see how much he could eat.

However, upon seeing Ximen Yan eating with one hand and taking out eggs and rice balls from his pocket with the other, he was taken aback.

Many diners could hardly contain their excitement.

They'd already pulled out more than a dozen eggs, but they still kept pulling out rice balls!

Is this some kind of four-dimensional pocket?

Of course, apart from that magical pocket.

The changes in Ximenyan himself can be described as quite astonishing.

His body, which used to look a bit thin, has become quite strong, although he hasn't become bulky. His muscles are starting to show.

Furthermore, his originally black hair gradually turned red as Ximen Yan ate more and more.

In addition, Ximenyan felt some stinging pain near his right eye.

However, Ximen Yan was not very clear about the reason.

However, the diners who were watching Ximen Yan noticed that three scars had suddenly appeared on Ximen Yan's right eye.

This gave Ximen Yan, who was originally somewhat handsome, an extra touch of domineering presence.

After eating twenty or thirty natural rice balls in a row, along with other food, Ximenyan finally felt full.

There was no time to examine the changes within myself.

Amidst the curious questions from numerous diners and the buffet owner's murderous glare, Ximen Yan quickly ran out.

Many people wanted to stop him and ask him the truth, but Ximen Yan was too strong for them to resist.

Once back in his rented room, Ximen Yan began to examine the changes in himself.

Chapter 8: Power Enhancement, the Abilities of Gourmet Cells (Please add to your favorites)

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ximen Yan felt somewhat unfamiliar with himself.

Her original black hair turned red, and she had three scars above her right eye.

Furthermore, his body is no longer as frail as before, and the muscle definition is clearly visible.

Ximen Yan even discovered that he had grown taller; he was now definitely 1.9 meters tall.

But then again, with his red hair and the scar on his eye, is he cosplaying Shanks, one of the Four Emperors?

Of course, cosplaying Shanks is just a joke. His scar is on his right eye, while Shanks' is on his left eye, so there's a big difference.

As for the origin of the scar on his right eye...

Ximen Yan realized immediately upon seeing it that it must be because of the Gourmet Demon.

In the world of Gourmet Devil, those who are possessed by gourmet demons generally undergo changes due to the possession of these demons.

Of course, some changes are quite obvious, while others are difficult to notice.

Among the more noticeable changes, scars are quite common.

Whether it's Toriko, the protagonist, Teppei, the regenerator, Zeus, the chef who is now ranked number one, or the three tigers, the bosses of the Gourmet Club.

The scars on their faces are manifestations of the food demon inhabiting their bodies.

When the topic turned to the Gourmet Demon, Ximen Yan suddenly realized something.

Gourmet demons usually grant their inhabitants special abilities, such as Toriko's sense of smell or Coco's poison...

There's no doubt he should have it too.

Calming himself down, Ximen Yan began to feel his own power.

Soon, he realized that some of his cells seemed to contain a certain energy, and that he could mobilize it.

Ximen Yan tried to gather the energy in his hand.
