The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Jiang Yan followed in the middle to rear of the group, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

My gaze swept over the drooping vines, the murky puddles, and the unidentified small animal that flashed by in the grass.

My nose was twitching constantly, trying to distinguish the various scents mixed in the air: the fresh fragrance of grass and trees, the dampness of the soil, the slight stench of humus, and... a faint, sweet fruity aroma.

Ok?

Jiang Yan paused slightly, his eyes suddenly brightening.

Following the sweet scent, one could see several bright red, juicy strawberries floating slowly in the air amidst the thick fog.

The strawberries were enormous, about the size of a ball, and stood out conspicuously in the thick fog.

"It was this!"

A surprised smile appeared on Jiang Yan's face. He pushed off with his feet and rushed quickly toward the strawberries.

As the distance closed, the sweet fruity aroma became increasingly intense.

At the same time, a gigantic tortoise of enormous size came into view.

The giant tortoise was as tall as a three-story building, and looked like a small stone mountain.

Those tempting strawberries floating in the air grew directly on the giant tortoise's carapace!

Because of the dense fog, it looks as if it is floating in mid-air from a distance, which is very deceptive.

Jiang Yan naturally recognized the origin of this giant turtle: a unique creature of the Shimeile Wetland—the mischievous strawberry turtle!

They usually like to lurk in the depths of the swamp, only showing the strawberries on their backs, using the tempting aroma to attract greedy creatures.

Once prey takes the bait, the giant tortoise will suddenly leap up, using its massive mouth full of sharp teeth and its powerful neck to drag the prey into the water and devour it completely.

........................

However, the strawberry turtle only acts this patiently when facing other creatures from the same Shimeile Wetland.

Strawberry turtles are known for their aggressive and mischievous nature; they often initiate attacks on humans.

Clearly, this mischievous strawberry turtle was attracted by the noise the examinees were making as they walked by.

Upon noticing Jiang Yan approaching, the cheeky strawberry turtle let out a deep growl.

Then, its mouth opened to its fullest extent, revealing a mouthful of fangs as sharp as daggers, gleaming with a chilling light, and carrying a stench of blood, it bit down fiercely at Jiang Yan!

This attack was swift, accurate, and ruthless. If it were an ordinary test taker, they probably wouldn't even have time to react before being bitten by that giant jaws.

But Jiang Yan was prepared.

Faced with the attack from the mischievous Strawberry Turtle, he showed no panic on his face. With a twist of his waist, he dodged to the side like a ghost.

The enormous mouth, filled with sharp teeth, missed Jiang Yan's clothes and slammed heavily onto the muddy ground beside him with a loud 'bang,' splashing up a large amount of mud.

"They were pretty fast, but unfortunately, they ran into me."

Jiang Yan's voice carried a hint of amusement.

As he spoke, he slammed his right foot off the ground, propelling himself straight toward the giant tortoise's head.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, veins bulging on his arm, and a portion of his "spirit" was concentrated in his fist.

Before the mischievous strawberry turtle could retract its neck, Jiang Yan's fist, accompanied by a whistling wind, slammed hard into its head!

Boom!

A deep, muffled thud resounded, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Jiang Yan's punch, though seemingly simple, was terrifyingly powerful due to his immense strength and the enhancement of his "mind".

After being hit, the mischievous Strawberry Turtle's head tilted sharply to the side, the muscles in its neck twitched violently a few times, and then its eyes quickly lost their luster.

Its neck slumped down limply and crashed heavily to the ground, where it remained motionless.

..............................

"The mischievous Strawberry Turtle has been successfully captured!"

Jiang Yan withdrew his fist, shook his slightly numb arm, and his face was full of a satisfied smile.

I walked up to the head of the cheeky strawberry turtle and bent down to examine it.

The meat is firm and has a unique sweetness, making it a rare delicacy whether stewed in soup or braised.

Not to mention the strawberries on the back of the mischievous strawberry turtle, whose aroma is far richer than that of ordinary strawberries, making them an absolutely rare and top-quality fruit.

After the inspection was completed, Jiang Yan felt relieved and gently placed his hand on the head of the mischievous strawberry turtle.

The next moment, a soft, pale golden light appeared on Jiang Yan's palm, spreading out like flowing water and covering the entire body of the cheeky strawberry turtle.

Immediately afterwards, amidst a faint glow, the mischievous Strawberry Turtle, which was as tall as a three-story building, vanished without a trace!

Jiang Yan slowly withdrew his hand, a smile playing on his lips.

This is his unique Nen ability – the Restaurant of Food.

An independent dimensional space similar to Nob's "Four-Dimensional Apartment".

However, Jiang Yan's Nen ability, "The Restaurant," has an interior space of tens of thousands of cubic meters, which is much larger than Nobu's "Four-Dimensional Apartment."

What's even more interesting is that Jiang Yan's "Food Restaurant" is not static.

Instead, it can continuously evolve, grow, expand, and upgrade as Jiang Yan's strength increases and ingredients are added.

As Jiang Yan watched the 'Food Restaurant' expand slightly after the mischievous Strawberry Turtle joined, the corners of his mouth curved upwards even further.

Although the space for expansion is small, the more ingredients he stores, the bigger the "Food Restaurant" will become in the future.

..............................

Of course, in order to create the Nen ability "Food Restaurant", Jiang Yan customized five restrictions and oaths.

Firstly, only animals and plants that he determines to be "ingredients" can be included in the "Food Restaurant". Otherwise, they cannot be included in the "Food Restaurant".

Secondly, any living food must be completely unconscious and powerless to resist, otherwise it cannot be included in the "Food Restaurant".

Third, the stored ingredients can help expand the "Food Restaurant", but the same ingredient is only valid for the first time it is stored, and repeated storage is invalid.

Fourth, storing ingredients requires consuming one's own "mind." The larger the size and the fresher the ingredients, the more "mind" is required. However, taking them out requires only a very small amount of consuming.

Fifth, one must have a basic understanding of the target ingredients; completely unfamiliar items cannot be included in the storage space.

It was precisely because of these five constraints and oaths that "Food Restaurant" met Jiang Yan's requirements.

Besides having tens of thousands of cubic meters of space from the outset, and what can be said to be unlimited growth potential.

More importantly, any ingredients that are brought into the "Food Restaurant" can maintain the same condition as when they were first brought in, even if they are stored for decades.

This is still very important to Jiang Yan.

Just like now, he simply doesn't have time to deal with the cheeky Strawberry Turtle.

If left for too long, it will definitely affect the texture and taste of the strawberry turtle's meat.

But the restaurant perfectly solved his worries.
