Offer blocks to the end times

"Tsukasa, Tsukasa, Tsukasa..." The group kept repeating "Tsukasa." Soma Yukihira looked at them strangely, "What's wrong with you? Do you know him?"

"Idiot, you're so ignorant! This man is none other than the number one of the Elite Ten, Tsukasa Eishi!" Several classmates screamed, and Yukihira Soma was speechless. "The... the number one? Him? Why is he here?!"

"I feel the call of the ingredients to me," the timid boy said with a devout look. Senju saw the spirit of dedication in him, offering himself to the ingredients and regarding them as God. What a strange person, like a 'sword slave' controlled by a sword, just a 'food slave' controlled by the ingredients. Of course, this does not mean that he is weak!

"Quick, please sit down," several classmates quickly stood up and brought over a chair. Just then, another person walked in from outside—a beautiful white-haired girl dressed in revealing clothes, her hairstyle looked very familiar. "What are you all doing?"

"Who are you?" Everyone asked in confusion. The beautiful woman looked at them strangely. "What's wrong with your eyes? You didn't even invite me to such a delicious meal. Oh, Tsukasa Eishi is here too."

"Could it be... Granny Fumio?!" Yoshino Yuuki exclaimed in disbelief, while the girls beside her quickly waved their hands, "Impossible, she must be Granny Fumio's daughter or granddaughter or something."

"It's me! What's wrong with you guys?!" the beautiful woman asked curiously. The people next to her seemed to have been struck by lightning, even ignoring the white-clad boy in the first position. Thousand Hands clapped his hands and said, "Alright, it's just rejuvenation, no need to make a fuss."

Several speechless classmates stared blankly at Qian Shou. What had he just said?! The pretty girl outside also noticed something was wrong, touching her face. "Huh? This feeling is strange, this elasticity, how is this possible?! Is this my hand?!"

The beautiful girl touched her face, looked at her hands, and excitedly shouted before running out. Only then did the white-haired boy beside her timidly raise his hand, "Um..."

However, everyone was in a state of extreme unease. Senju looked at the white-haired boy and asked, "What do you want?"

"Well, I sensed some really powerful ingredients here, that's why I came," the white-haired boy said timidly. Senju nodded. "Oh, another superpower? The ingredients are over there. You can take that box and play with it too, as a reward for being the first one."

"Thank you very much," Tsukasa Eishi happily went to check the ingredients. After examining all sorts of strange ingredients in the research room, he closed the box, bowed deeply to Senju, and then carried it out. The white color suited him very well. Senju was also very happy to see him leave. The seed had been planted.

After everyone was shocked, they realized the first one was gone, which shocked them again, especially when they saw that the box of beef was missing. Soma Yukihira started yelling, "Hey, hey, hey, didn't we agree that if I cooked you a dish, you'd give me some beef? Now it's all gone!"

"Youth is wonderful," the beautiful woman from before reappeared at the door, but this time her voice was much clearer, and her clothes were much more fashionable. Everyone called out in confusion, "Grandma Wenxu?"

"Don't call me grandma, call me sister!" the rejuvenated grandma shouted, then looked at Senju, "What was that dish all about? Why did my skin become as radiant and elastic as when I was twenty after eating it? It's like magic!"

"It's just restoring the skin's collagen and making all the cells in the body younger. It's nothing big," Qian Shou said. In fact, the beef he made was just a starting point. This old woman wasn't exaggerating. She had eaten countless delicious dishes, and the power of these dishes had accumulated in her body, something that would normally never have been activated in her lifetime.

But now, she happened to eat the World Creation Sliced ​​Beef made by Thousand Hands. In the instant of the explosion, all the delicacies she had eaten in her life turned into streams of energy that replenished her body, making her completely young again.

But the others didn't know that. They just stared blankly at Senju, wondering what he meant by "not a big deal"? This was something that had never happened before. If word got out, the entire culinary world, no, the whole world, would be shocked.

"Don't worry about it too much, there will be many more strange things in the future," Senju waved his hand, then took out two boxes from behind his back and handed them over. "Here you go, Yukihira Soma, this red one is for you, and this blue one is for Tadokoro Megumi. Good luck to you guys."

Chapter 1526 Bribery

"Where did those two boxes come from?!" Yoshino Yuuki exclaimed from the side. Senju glanced at the outgoing and energetic girl and said, "This is very, very advanced science and technology, involving space physics, quantum physics, and so on. You wouldn't understand."

"Sigh, is it really true? Something feels off," Yoshino Yuuki frowned for a moment, then gave up and looked at Senju with a cute expression. "Well, never mind that for now. Mr. Senju, do you have any high-quality poultry? Can I buy some?"

Poultry?

"Wait a minute," Qian Shou said, taking out her phone and pretending to press a few buttons. "It'll be here soon."

"Luck!" Yoshino Yuuki exclaimed, and the others immediately turned their attention to Senju. "Mr. Senju, we also want to buy some ingredients!"

“Well,” Senju shook his head, then pointed to the two people next to him, “I don’t have many high-grade ingredients left, and I still need them for the food battle. But don’t they have some?”

"That's true!" The group immediately turned to look at the two people carrying the boxes, their eyes lighting up. "Yukihira~/Megumi~"

"No way! This is my payment, and I want to use it to develop new dishes!" Soma Yukihira shouted, sprawled on the box. Megumi Tadokoro, however, was different. "If you don't mind, we can all..."

"Oh, Xiaohui is the best!" the group exclaimed in a flurry. Wenxu, who was outside, poked her head out and said, "Save some for me too! Giving you such high-quality ingredients would be a waste!"

"They're so shameless!" Thousand Hands covered his eyes as he watched the boys acting cute. It's fine for pretty girls to act cute, but it's a bit too much for some boys! If they start acting cute towards him again, he'll be in big trouble.

But it really is a difference in mindset. Tadokoro Megumi may seem silly, but from another perspective, she is on a higher level. What she pursues is not high-end ingredients, but dishes that can make people feel warm. Even low-end ingredients can shine in her hands.

"Alright, the ingredients have been delivered and are just outside," Senju suddenly said to Yoshino Yuuki after waiting for a few minutes. She asked excitedly, "Really? That was fast!"

"How exactly is it transported?" Everyone was curious and went outside to see what was going on. Then they saw a quadcopter hovering in the air, holding a box, in front of the dormitory. "Is that how it works? That's really amazing technology."

Then the quadcopter put the box down and left, pointing to the box over there, "A domesticated green onion duck."

"It really is a 'green onion duck'!" The sight that appeared when the box was opened made everyone's eyes go blank. Inside was a duck carrying a green onion on its back, looking quite smug!

"This is for you, I need to go prepare for the food battle," Senju said, making an excuse as she headed out. The others immediately tried to stop her, "Hey, don't leave so early! Let's exchange cooking tips a bit more. And where did you get all these ingredients? Maybe in the future..."

"Let's talk again another time, bye-bye," Senju said, and ran off in a few quick steps. He had gained a lot here. Not only did he learn a lot from the students, but he also read the cooking skills of many past students from the kitchen. Combined with the cooking information from his world memories and the effects of various amulets, Senju could call himself a master chef!

Standing atop the tree and swaying in the wind, Senju seemed to have seen through the true nature of the world's consciousness. As long as Senju didn't go too far, it wouldn't dare to do anything. Moreover, it was extremely lenient when it came to matters of cooking. So, it really only had instinctive consciousness.

Using the tree's elasticity, Senju jumped onto the road in the distance. Seeing that no one was around, he pulled out a four-wheeled electric cloak-covered car from the side and slowly drove away. A few minutes later, he saw the white-haired boy, Tsukasa Eishi, carrying a box and walking slowly forward.

Speaking of which, isn't this guy number one? Thousand Hands, who has done his research, knows how powerful the Ten Heroes are, and even the ninth-ranked one has hundreds of underlings, but this guy is walking?! He must have all sorts of cars, right?

"Hey, kid, want a ride?" Senju greeted him. Tsukasa Eishi, who didn't seem too tired, breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! It's you. Could you take me to the top of the mountain? I can't wait to start researching new ingredients."

“Don’t worry, the ingredients in the Spirit Treasury won’t change. But the mountaintop, I happen to be going there too,” Senju nodded, and then Tsukasa Eishi got into the car. Then Senju officially started flirting with, no, recruiting the boy, “Have you checked the ingredients inside? How do they feel?”

"The ingredients inside are amazing, especially the meat. I've never seen meat so lively before; it's practically alive! It's incredible. And the fruits are also types I've never seen before. Just the aroma is irresistible. And there's more..."

The timid boy was talking happily. Senju glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "That kind of ingredient is just ordinary where I am. How about becoming my subordinate? I can show you a wider and more boundless world."

"A wider world, more ingredients, are you serious?!" Tsukasa Eishi's gaze sharpened, and he became incredibly handsome. Senju nodded. "That's right. You've never seen those ingredient simulations before, have you? Actually, I'm a god from another world. I came here mainly to reclaim the three million kinds of ingredients that were stolen from this world. If all else fails, I'll just use this Earth as collateral."

"Is this for real? It sounds incredible," Tsukasa Eishi said in a low voice, his face turning into a submissive one. "I've never seen any of those ingredients before. They must be from another world. I never thought there really was another world."

Although Tsukasa Eishi is usually lacking in confidence, he is extremely confident when it comes to cooking. At least, he has seen and understood the vast majority of ingredients on Earth. Although the box contained beef, there was a certain mysterious quality to it.

Jue felt that the beef far surpassed the highest grade she had ever seen. No matter what, she couldn't deduce how this kind of beef was raised. Moreover, she knew from just one bite of the fruit that it was not from this planet.

"There are plenty. How about helping me out? This other world is quite interesting."

"But I don't know if one person can do it well."

"It's alright, it's alright," Senju said casually, "As long as you nominally become my subordinate, I won't interfere in other aspects. I'll even provide some high-grade ingredients, but you'll need to exchange for even higher-grade ingredients with merit."

Chapter 1527 But I'm a Good Person

“Alright then, I’m willing to join,” Tsukasa Eishi thought for a moment and then nodded. Senju tossed him a badge. “This is the organization’s badge. It contains a miniature quantum computer and a projector. It can pull up a mission panel based on your gestures and language.”

With Senju's explanation, Tsukasa Eishi quickly learned how to operate the badge. By simply pressing the square in the middle of the badge, a light screen appeared in front of him. With the control of gestures, he could see the exchange prices of various ingredients and various tasks. "It's really high-tech. The base score is 1000 points, but it doesn't seem like there are any tasks to earn points."

"Right now," Senju thought for a moment, "the organization's main goal is to seize control of the far moon and ascend to the top of the lunar sky. Is there any good way to do that?"

"Dominating Totsuki," Tsukasa Eishi said after thinking for a moment. "In Totsuki, the Elite Ten Council has the most power. As long as you get the approval of five or more Elite Ten members, you can become the new Supreme Commander of Totsuki."

“I see,” Senju nodded, and then a new task appeared on the panel in front of Tsukasa Eishi: 'Earn 200 points for each Elite Ten member you persuade; at least five must be persuaded. Note: the tenth and ninth members are not included in this task.'

"I understand, but why exclude the tenth and ninth places?" Tsukasa Eishi asked curiously. Senju shook his head. "It's nothing. The tenth place is my wife's friend, and the ninth place is going to have a food battle with me tonight. I've already reserved the ninth place spot."

“I see. But let me see what a food war is like,” Tsukasa Eishi said excitedly. Senju shook her head. “My cooking skills aren’t that great, but you can watch if you want.”

After chatting for a while, the car arrived at the cluster of buildings on the mountaintop. Senju got out of the car and said, "You can use this car. I'm going to look around elsewhere. By the way, exchanging ingredients is as simple as clicking an option, and the ingredients will be teleported directly to you."

"..." Sitting in the car, Tsukasa Eishi was speechless. He never expected that just by going out, he would gain a bunch of new ingredients, a new identity, and a new car.

Senju, who left, didn't really care about Tsukasa Eishi. Although he was number one, in Senju's eyes, he was not as valuable as Tadokoro Megumi. After all, Senju would still choose Tadokoro Megumi's food, because the will and soul contained in it were different.

After walking for a while, Senju saw a group of delinquents carrying sticks walking on the road. "So there are delinquents in this culinary school too," he thought. Then the delinquents saw Senju and shouted, "That's him! Grab him!"

"Huh?!" Senju was speechless as he watched a group of delinquents rushing towards him. He was bored anyway, so he looked to the side and saw that the ground was too clean, without even a brick.

Shaking his head, Senju pulled a black retractable stick from his sleeve. He'd made it on the spot, but hopefully no one saw it. With a flick of his wrist, the stick transformed into a weapon over a meter long. He brandished it, then looked at the students opposite him. The delinquents immediately stopped in their tracks. "You, what do you want to do?"

"Don't be afraid, he's all alone. If we all rush at him, we'll definitely catch him..."

Then, with a flick of his hand downwards, sparks flew across the ground. The delinquents on the other side took a step back, then, their faces contorted with rage—they had their pride too—and charged towards them, howling.

What followed was a tragedy. The Thousand Hands, wielding his extendable baton, beat these delinquents to a pulp. However, he didn't go for the kill; he targeted their joints, and once hit, none of them could get up.

"How boring," Senju said after bullying the weak. The students watching felt a chill run down their spines. Without asking, Senju knew who sent this person. It must have been the Ninth.

Senju slowly walked away, retracting the iron rod into his pocket. The delinquents struggled on the ground for a while before getting up and helping each other walk away.

"Hmm, have you finished learning?" Ram and Rem appeared behind Senju without her noticing. "Yes, we learned a lot of useful knowledge here. We learned from the teachers here that there is a very powerful spice expert here, and we are going to ask him for advice."

“Oh, that’s the one,” Senju thought of the teacher named Shiomi Jun, who looked like an elementary school student. The two nodded. “Yes, that’s the one, Professor Shiomi Jun, the spice expert at this school.”

"Well then, good luck to you both," Senju nodded, and the two bowed slightly before walking off to the other side. "Yes, sir, we're going to study now."

After walking in one direction for a while,

Senju found the headmaster, Senzaemon Nakiri, and Reinhard. They were indeed cooking. The old man looked like a great swordsman, but he was really good at cooking. He had a sharp aura about him, and Reinhard was learning from him.

There was an open book in front of them, the "Supreme Meditation Book," and they were studying the cooking methods inside. However, that book was not for show. Senzaemon Nakiri had already been half-transformed. He was originally filled with the culinary laws of this place, but now half of him had been eroded by the laws of Senju. It wouldn't be long before the transformation was complete.

Senju didn't care how long this commander-in-chief could remain in power. It was better if he was transformed, saving him some trouble. If he wasn't transformed, it would just add a little fun to the game. By the way, Nakiri Senzaemon was Erina's grandfather, right? So what about the one between them?

Since both the grandfather and grandson are top-level chefs, the one in the middle must also be a top-level chef, but he doesn't seem to have shown up at all. Thinking this, Senju left. Well, maybe there will be a surprise.

He lazily wandered around for a while, actually taking out his phone to look at the information on the Elite Ten. Then a few people caught his attention. The second one, Kobayashi Rindou, was good at eating wild game. His name made Senju want to complain. Was this Kobayashi and Tohru's daughter?! And they were both red-haired.

Momoko Akane, one of the four, is a dessert expert. She looks very cute, like an elementary school student. Speaking of which, the people from Totsuki are really strange. However, I can find a lot of photos of desserts she uploaded online. She lives up to her reputation. I'll go find some to eat as snacks later.

Kuga Terunori, one of the eighth members, seems to be the president of the Chinese Cuisine Research Association and is skilled in Chinese cuisine. I'll look into him later. As for the other ten members, let's just ignore them.

Chapter 1528 Drug Sales

Looking at the address, all of their research institutes were here, in the building complex on the mountaintop. The one closest to Senju was the Chinese Cuisine Research Association. After walking in that direction for a while, Senju saw a Chinese-style palace building. The clubs here are really grand. After marveling at it, he prepared to smell the familiar aroma. "It should be good, um, it smells so spicy, cough cough cough."

Smoking from the spiciness, Senju quickly shut down her sense of smell. The spiciness was just too strong! Had the other person made a mistake? Did they think Sichuan cuisine represented all of Chinese cuisine? Although Senju sometimes liked spicy food, she usually preferred regular, normal food!

However, the sounds inside were a bit strange. It seemed like countless people were shouting together in a rhythmic manner. Thousand Hands curiously went in to take a look and was speechless to find several rows of monks practicing flipping iron pots inside. There was a handful of raw rice in the pot, but no one was flipping the raw rice out.

Their rhythm was synchronized, giving off a powerful aura, but why were they all bald?! And were they practicing writing characters or making fried rice?! Senju realized that these people were probably students too, but their uniforms and hairstyles had misled him. But this was supposed to be a cooking club, right?! It looked more like a monastery!

By the way, the eighth person in the photo isn't bald, but a short guy with dyed hair. And, besides the bald guy, there's no one else in the photo. It's kind of weird.

Senju stood there in a daze at the door, when he was noticed by someone inside. A short, blond-haired boy approached, barely reaching Senju's chest. "Who are you? What brings you to my Chinese Cuisine Research Association?"

"Ah, I was just passing by. I heard this is the Chinese Cuisine Research Association, so I came to take a look," Qian Shou said, then looked at the people inside. "However, I was a little shocked just now. I thought this was a Buddhist temple."

"!" A group of bald men glared angrily over. Although they were bald, they weren't monks anymore. Looking at the short man in front of them, Thousand Hands continued, "Also, the spiciness here is way too strong. I don't really like it. Hey, buddy, your hair is two colors. Did you not dye it properly? By the way, your height must be due to malnutrition!"

With just a few words, Senju had angered everyone present. At least, Kuga Terunori in front of him was laughing in exasperation. "Oh, who are you calling malnourished?! Do you want me to help you get some nutrition?"

"No, no, you can keep it for yourself. Besides, I don't really like spicy food," Senju shook her head, looking considerate of the other person. "Spicy food can easily cause endocrine disorders. You're so short, it must be because you've been eating too much spicy food, which has caused your growth hormone secretion to become disordered."

"If you want to grow taller, you can drink the height-increasing potion manufactured by my company," Senju said, turning into a salesperson. The boy's face lit up with joy, then turned into anger. "Are you doubting my cooking skills?! Get out! You're not welcome here!"

"Excuse me, cough cough," Senju realized he had spoken too fluently, so he coughed awkwardly and left. After all, he couldn't very well stay there and eat raw rice.

But he hadn't walked far when he heard someone calling him from behind, "Sir, wait, wait!"

"Huh?" Senju turned around and was speechless. Although the guy's head was covered by a cloth, it was obvious that he was one of the bald members from the research group earlier. "What's wrong? It can't be..."

Senju narrowed his eyes. This feeling was familiar. Countless scenes from manga flashed through his mind. Sure enough, the bald man, who was acting suspiciously but whose disguise was useless, looked around and then approached Senju. "Sir, I heard you have a kind of magical potion?"

"Yes, yes, my company has many amazing potions. Which one do you want?"

“It’s the kind that can increase height,” the bald man whispered. Thousand Hands nodded, then took out a calculator. “One centimeter costs $100,000, five centimeters costs $1 million, and ten centimeters costs $10 million. There’s also a potion that increases taste and smell tenfold, $50 million a bottle. Which one do you want?”

“Huh? If I buy ten bottles of 1cm,” the bald man noticed the blind spot, and Thousand Hands shook his head, “no, no, no, our products cannot be stacked individually. Otherwise, wouldn’t drinking ten bottles of 1cm make me grow a meter taller?”
