The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

A few days after the celebration came a long weekend, and Jiang Yan left Far Moon Academy and returned home.

Just then, a new world gate appeared.

After preparing the necessary items, Jiang Yan looked at the silvery light gate, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.

The next instant, a gentle breeze carrying a faint, salty, and damp scent swept over me.

After observing for a moment, Jiang Yan determined that he was currently on an island.

The clear blue sky is dotted with cotton-like white clouds, the mountains and fields are covered with lush green plants, and unknown wildflowers bloom freely. In the distance, the coastline meanders and stretches, and the waves crash against the rocks, splashing up fine spray.

However, Jiang Yan was in no mood to appreciate the scenery at this moment.

The most important thing now is to determine which world he has entered.

My gaze swept around and a town came into view.

Jiang Yan immediately decided to enter the town. The closer he got to the town, the clearer the surrounding scenery became.

The brick and stone buildings looked very sturdy, but all the houses looked quite new, as if they had only been built a few years ago.

Upon entering the town, Jiang Yan's face showed a look of surprise.

The streets were bustling with people, and in addition to ordinary human faces, there were dwarves with short, stocky builds, muscular bodies, and full beards; and elves with slender figures, delicate features, and pointed ears.

In addition, there are petite figures, who at first glance look like children, moving about with light steps and agile movements.

This sight made Jiang Yan even more curious about what kind of world this was.

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

Jiang Yan blended into the crowd without making a sound, and struck up a conversation with passersby under the pretext of asking for directions. After some inquiry, he gradually pieced together a complete picture of the information.

In this world, ordinary humans are called long-bodied people, and those figures that look like children are actually halflings. Dwarves and elves were once enemies, but they have now reconciled.

What Jiang Yan cared about most was the underground labyrinth that everyone kept mentioning.

According to the townspeople, a huge labyrinth lies beneath the island, and deep within that labyrinth is a golden kingdom.

By defeating the mad mage who controls the labyrinth, one can obtain the wealth of the Golden Kingdom.

News of the Golden Kingdom attracted countless adventurers from afar, making the island prosperous.

"The labyrinth, the golden land, the mad magician..."

Jiang Yan repeated these keywords in a low voice, his eyes shining brightly, and his expression gradually becoming excited.

"So this is the world of Delicious Dungeon!!"

Upon confirming the world he was in, Jiang Yan's heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

Compared to the gold in the maze, Jiang Yan was more concerned about the countless monsters within it.

Those monsters of all shapes and sizes are all excellent ingredients!

What excites Jiang Yan even more is the magic of this world, especially the teleportation magic, healing magic, and familiar magic. If he could learn them, it would undoubtedly be a great asset to him.

Teleportation magic is the most important. If he learns teleportation magic, then when he re-enters the world of Toriko, he can try to use teleportation magic to leave the body of the Rigaru mammoth.

Furthermore, if you encounter danger while exploring other worlds, you can use teleportation magic to escape.

As for healing magic, Jiang Yan thought it could be used to heal food ingredients.

Although it can only be used on biological food ingredients, it at least enables sustainable acquisition.

As for familiar magic, Jiang Yan values ​​its ability to cultivate novel ingredients.

It can enrich the variety of ingredients he has.

Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with healing magic.

After all, familiars can also be classified as living beings!

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

The more Jiang Yan pondered, the stronger his anticipation became.

However, Jiang Yan also knew that learning these spells was not easy.

Take familiar magic for example. Learning it through proper channels requires obtaining a dangerous magic use certificate, which is time-consuming and laborious. Jiang Yan doesn't have the time to take the exam.

Jiang Yan had a plan in mind for this: if the regular channels didn't work, he would take the unorthodox methods.

Because of the maze, this island is a melting pot of all sorts of people, so finding some magic books shouldn't be too difficult.

Of course, this will definitely cost money.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan was well aware that the monetary systems of different worlds are different, so he prepared a lot of gold before his trip.

Gold, as a hard currency, has extremely high value in most worlds, and the Dungeon Delight world is no exception.

Over the next few days, Jiang Yan frequented the town's black market, using his gold to purchase a large number of magic books from black market vendors.

Not only did they obtain the books containing the three types of magic: teleportation, healing, and familiars, but they also collected a number of practical and interesting auxiliary magic spells.

For example, there's light magic that can be used for illumination; heating magic that allows you to cook food anytime, anywhere, saving you the trouble of starting a fire; and cleaning magic that can quickly remove stains...

There are even a few books that record ancient magic.

In the world of Delicious Dungeon, ancient magic is also known as "black magic," but Jiang Yan doesn't care about that.

Jiang Yan reluctantly stopped his shopping spree when he had almost no gold left.

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

Although they had obtained the magic books, how to cultivate them became a new problem.

As an outsider of unknown origin, he could integrate into the town, but finding a proper magician to guide him was simply unrealistic.

Helpless, Jiang Yan could only rely on books to explore and study on his own.

Of course, Jiang Yan didn't plan to devote all his time to magic training; the rare magical ingredients in the maze were waiting for him to capture.

We arrived at the entrance to the underground maze that we had passed by several times before.

Just as he was about to step into the passage, Jiang Yan suddenly slapped his forehead. He had completely forgotten to buy a map of the maze!

Without a map to guide you, going straight in will only waste your time in the intricate maze, which is not worth it.

Just as Jiang Yan was pondering where to buy a map, three figures walked over, immediately attracting his attention.

Leading the group is the tall man Leos, a hardcore monster enthusiast and the future "Eater King".

Beside him stood the half-elf Marcusil, with golden hair and green eyes, holding a staff woven from the branches of the World Tree.

Behind the two was the halfling Chilchak, who looked like a child but was actually 29 years old.

At this moment, Leos was speaking earnestly to Marcus and Chilchak with a serious expression.

"The food is self-sufficient within the labyrinth, which is teeming with monsters, meaning a complete ecosystem exists..."

"Humans can also survive by eating what's inside the maze."

"Monsters are edible too. Think back to your past adventures."

Upon hearing this, Marusili immediately thought of the ghouls, ghosts, and gargoyles in the labyrinth... and her face immediately showed resistance.

Zilcak, on the other hand, was somewhat indifferent, since some of the monsters did indeed look edible.

Leos and his two companions entered the maze while arguing.

Jiang Yan, who was standing at the entrance of the maze, paid no attention to them.
