Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

Hello everyone, my name is Shi Yu, and my profession is a gourmet hunter and a chef—simply put, I am a versatile talent who can "chase wild beasts and also turn them into dishes."

I was born on the second continent of the culinary world. You might not believe it, but my guardian is the legendary gourmet hunter Jiro, and I am his adopted grandson.

When I was a kid, I kept asking Jiro, "Where are my parents?" He told me very seriously, "You don't have parents. You hatched from an egg I found."

I was completely stunned. So I wasn't pregnant for ten months, but a "ten-hour simmering" trainee?

Jiro vividly recounted the scene to me: a fragrance suddenly wafted from the Second Continent, so strong that the beasts went berserk, and even he, who was passing by to visit relatives (to watch his "mother" fight the wolves), couldn't resist it—he originally wanted to find out the source of the fragrance and give it to the wolf king Ginness as a gift so that the two of them could have a good meal together.

When they arrived, they found a group of ferocious beasts surrounding a giant egg, staring longingly at it, none daring to approach. The egg exuded a powerful aura that even a top expert like him found somewhat overwhelming, but who was Jiro? A fearless and ruthless man, he simply carried the egg away.

Here's the important part! He got home and was about to heat the oil in the pan when, just as he set up the stove, the egg cracked with a "snap"—not because it was cooked, but because a tiny baby like me had hatched! I guess it was the first time Jiro had ever seen a "person popping out of an egg." He was stunned for a long time before finally waving his hand and saying, "Alright, I'll raise it. It'll be another person to help me test the dishes later."

As Jiro's adopted grandson, my main strength lies in my "extraordinary talent".

When I was a child, I had an insane appetite. One meal of mine could be as good as three meals of Toriko's. Jiro was away from home most of the year, so I was basically raised by my "great-grandmother" Gines—I received the best treatment. I would eat red Nitro as a snack, like potato chips.

Thanks to my outrageous appetite and love of snacks, I never unlocked the "foodie demon" cheat code, because I am a walking food demon myself. Sometimes I even suspect that I wasn't born human, but at most an "edible humanoid food."

I naturally inherited Jiro's pressure point technique in its entirety, but I also have my own specialty: swordsmanship.

I grew up alongside Toriko and the others, and I didn't miss out on the mess at Acacia either.

Back then, I chopped Acacia and Neo into pieces, thinking I had them all, but those two were like cockroaches that could never be killed, and they miraculously came back to life.

In the end, Toriko personally dealt with his own father, a true example of filial piety, and the scene was quite "touching".

As for why I turned back into an egg? Well, it's a long story.

After resolving the meteorite spice incident in the human world and attending Toriko's wedding, I figured the universe was so vast that there must be many more delicious things I hadn't tried yet, so I grabbed a spatula and headed into space.

As luck would have it, he was once again struck by "Great Luck"—exactly the same as when I first transmigrated into the culinary world. When he was first struck by Great Luck, he was still a college student with clear eyes. This collision of Great Luck is mainly a "collision of fate".

After I was launched into the air, I became an egg. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I was protected entirely by the eggshell.

This egg is quite intelligent; it automatically triggers my aura when attacked, which usually scares wild beasts into turning tail and running away.

Just now, I finally landed with a "thud," and I'm no longer going to be a "space egg" floating in space.

My goal now is simple: to rest and recuperate in the egg until it hatches.

It's a bit of a shame that all my previous strength has been wiped out, and I'll have to level up all over again.

Before leaving, he boasted to Toriko and the others, saying, "Don't look for me, I'm going to space to find ingredients." Now he can only pray that he doesn't end up in some high-risk and food-scarce place.
