Offer blocks to the end times

"..." This time it was Senju's turn to be speechless. Was this making things more difficult for him? But he was also a little curious about world-class chefs. There must be many chefs among them with 'emotion'. Senju also wanted to taste the emotions and will they poured into their food!

“That’s fine too,” Senju nodded after thinking for a moment, then took out a card and threw it into Nakiri Managi’s body. “This ability, ‘Eater of All Things,’ will be temporarily stored in your possession. As long as you successfully host the Food War, it will be yours.”

“The Devourer of All Things,” Nakiri Managi murmured to herself, then a thought struck her as she bit off a piece of the air in front of her. “This feeling, the air pressure, the molecular motion, it’s such a magical feeling.”

"Lord Senju, is that alright?" Reinhard asked from the side. Senju shook his head slightly. "That's really just about transforming everything you 'eat' into various sensations that your soul can accept. The name is just for show. By the way, are you confident facing a world-class chef?"

Chapter 1539 The Match Schedule

“I’m still a bit lacking,” Reinhardt smiled and shook his head. “Compared to the Grand Marshal, I’m still a bit lacking. If we’re talking about the world, my cooking skills probably wouldn’t rank among the best.”

"..." Looking at his smile, Senju almost believed him. If she didn't know about Reinhard's blessings, the several blessings of cooking skills would be very conspicuous among his dense blessings! They were all of the highest level, and after learning from Nakiri Senzaemon, he now also had the blessing of the King of Cooking, the blessing of the Demon King of Food, and so on.

"Then you should keep up the good work! By communicating with the culinary masters of this world, your cooking skills will definitely improve greatly, and becoming the world's number one won't be difficult," Senju said. The two women next to him seemed a little speechless. Although they knew he was very good, they didn't need to boast like that.

However, Senzaemon Nakiri nodded, "Rhine is the best student I've ever seen. He only studied with me for one day, and he's already learned 99% of my cooking skills. Now his cooking skills are already superior to mine."

It is. ”

"You flatter me," Reinhard said calmly, while the two beside him looked quite surprised. After all, the title of "Demon King of Food" was renowned throughout the world. Could it be that this smiling young man had already surpassed him?!

Senju thought for a moment, then shaped something in the air and created a cube, which he handed to Reinhard. "This is my Noble Phantasm, 'Culinary Transformation,' which can freely transform into many legendary culinary Noble Phantasms with various magical effects. I'll leave things here to you."

"Lord Senju, I'm a swordsman, you should ask a professional chef for this. The food here is top-notch," Reinhard said with a wry smile. Although he was a great cook, this wasn't his main profession!

“But the best chef I know is you. The more capable, the more work you get,” Senju said helplessly, spreading her hands. How could the culinary skills of ordinary people compare to those of the Gourmet World? Only someone like Reinhard, who transcends common sense, could do it!

"..." After a moment of silence from the others, Nakiri Managi spoke up, "Although I don't know what you're planning to do, I'm quite skilled in cooking."

"Let's forget about it," Senju shook her head, watching Nakiri Managi chewing on the spatula. Now that she has the card, she'll eat anything! It would be hilarious if she choked the referees to death with a plate of marble stewed mushrooms during the match!

Next, the group started discussing the competition. Then, Senju realized that the competition was very complicated. It wasn't the kind of process he knew where the chefs would show up, give the questions, cook, and judge. Instead, it was a process where the chefs would give the questions, study them, cook, and judge.

The chefs usually spend three to five days researching before they can decide on the dishes to make. However, this takes a lot of time, and there are several rounds involved, which consumes even more time. The final competition is held between the moon and the sky, leaving Thousand Hands speechless for the time being.

He had initially thought this competition would be similar to the martial arts tournament, but it now seemed it would take at least ten days. Knowing it would take a long time, Senju nodded. "Anyway, the competition will continue for a while. Rhine, keep working hard and strive to become the world's number one. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he ran away. To be honest, Reinhard's culinary skills were ranked quite high in this world. Only a few people were better than him. Senju was confident that he could 'convince' those chefs. However, once those chefs left this environment, they would definitely drop in rank. After all, there are not many worlds with such a gourmet environment. At least, in Senju's world, there was no atmosphere of worshipping food.

Once the entire world is excavated, Thousand Hands can create a food galaxy, and then transfer food memes to other galaxies to improve the culinary level of their own world.

However, after running away, Senju had nothing to do. While he was thinking about where to cause trouble, his phone rang. After answering, Senju learned that it was Tsukasa Eishi on the other end. He said that someone wanted to meet with Senju to discuss some things.

"Is the other person with you?" Senju asked, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Senju teleported there. "Who is looking for me?"

This is a living room. Tsukasa Eishi is standing there making a phone call, while Nakiri Azami, sitting on the sofa, gapes. When did this person appear?! However, he has a strong composure. Sitting there, he asks Senju with a surprised expression, "Who are you?"

"You're the one who wanted to see me? What's up, Mr. Azami Nakiri?" Senju sat down on the other sofa. Azami Nakiri paused for a moment, then smiled. "I didn't expect you to know me, Mr. Senju from another world."

"Hmm? How did you know I'm from another world?" Senju said, glancing at Tsukasa Eishi. "Did you tell him? Is there some connection between you two?"

“Yes, I’ve been in contact with Mr. Nakiri before. He tried to recruit me, but now I’ve decided to follow Lord Senju,” Tsukasa Eishi said. Nakiri Azami, standing beside him, smiled and answered Senju’s question. “Indeed, we obtained some information from Tsukasa, but the main thing is that the ingredients and tools you brought out are not from Earth. If they were from another planet, the types of ingredients wouldn’t be so similar. Excluding all possibilities, it’s most likely that you are from another world.”

"Your deduction is correct, but you don't seem very surprised."

“Of course, rather than being surprised, I am extremely excited,” Azami Nakiri’s eyes shone with a burning light. “Originally, I wanted to change the status quo of the Japanese culinary world through Totsuki Culinary Arts, but now I have discovered a wider world. This is truly a pleasant surprise. Geniuses who transcend common sense no longer need to be confined to the narrow environment of Earth.”

"?" Senju didn't quite understand, but she still gleaned some information from his words. "You weren't planning to become the new leader through the Elite Ten, were you? But what's the connection between Totsuki Culinary Academy and the Japanese culinary world? Isn't this just a culinary school?"

Then Senju saw the two people next to her staring in disbelief. Nakiri Azami was stunned for a while before speaking, "Didn't you come here because of Totsuki Academy's level in the culinary world?"

"No, it's because I made a promise with someone else. They only agreed to my request if I reached the top of the Moon Heaven Realm, so that's why I came here," Senju said, then watched as Nakiri Azami rubbed his forehead. Senju was stunned.

I'm puzzled. Why does the other person's blood pressure seem to rise after I finish speaking?

Chapter 1540 Fanboy

"Do you know anything about Totsuki Academy?" After rubbing his forehead, Azami Nakiri looked at Senju with a serious expression. Senju shook his head. "Not really. I only know that the Elite Ten are the strongest students in the school, and the current first-year students are from the class of '92. They are all here learning cooking."

"This is really something," Azami Nakiri rubbed his forehead again. He thought the other party had taken a liking to Totsuki, but it turned out that he didn't know anything about Totsuki at all? Anyone outside the school could know more about this level of information than he did!

"The full name of Totsuki Culinary Academy is Totsuki Saryō Culinary Academy, the number one culinary school in Japan. It is a prestigious culinary school that has produced many famous chefs. It has junior high school and senior high school. The students you mentioned in '92 class refer to the first year of senior high school."

"The advancement exams here are extremely difficult, with a graduation rate of less than 10%. Students who make even the slightest mistake or fail the exam will be expelled. The current headmaster is Senzaemon Nakiri, who even claims that '99% of the people are just pawns to hone the 1%', abandoning the vast majority of students. This is so unfair, which is why I want to change the current situation here!"

"I see. This school is going too far," Senju said, slightly annoyed. This was a school, not a competition arena. "So how do you plan to change this place? Or rather, what was your original plan?"

"I think food should be like art, something that only a few people can understand and appreciate. The general public simply doesn't have enough appreciation ability. They are happy as long as they eat food produced according to a fixed menu."

"To achieve this goal, after taking over Totsuki Academy, the first step is to abolish all existing cooking teaching laboratories, research clubs, hobby groups, and self-governing organizations within the academy, and to abolish the research club and laboratory system. The second step is to establish a central culinary organization led by authoritative chefs, who will be dedicated to researching cooking and developing standardized menus."

"Then, these menus will be passed on to the students to prevent those who lack talent from being rejected. In a few years, the students of Totsuki Academy will become an army, using these menus to crush all the restaurants in Japan and completely sweep through the Japanese culinary world! Creating a new order!"

Nakiri Azami said excitedly, but then shook his head, "This was originally my plan. I even trained many chefs for it, and the whole plan was ready to go. But now I've met you, Mr. Senju, which has caused a major change in my original plan."

"Is that so? Do you intend to pledge allegiance to me?" Upon hearing Senju's words, Nakiri Azami smiled and shook his head. "No, it's about cooperation. I hope to cooperate with you and exchange culinary knowledge from our two worlds."

"Cooperation? Forget it," Senju found it somewhat amusing. He didn't have a very good impression of Azami Nakiri. The clown who was beaten to death for taking away Yuri's job. Although hearing about his ideals had improved Senju's impression of him, he was still not qualified to cooperate with Senju.

"Your plan is good, but unfortunately it's inhumane. A master chef researches the dishes, and everyone else follows the steps? That's just an ideal state, it's impossible to achieve. Besides, cooking skills are just a byproduct of people eating food. Your plan is completely counterproductive. A fixed menu doesn't produce food, it produces animal feed."

"But ordinary people have no ability to appreciate good food. As long as the trainees follow the same menu, they can make delicious food that suits them. This is for their own good, to avoid them tasting inferior dishes."

“Sigh, if your plan succeeds, this world will be doomed,” Senju sighed helplessly. “Although I’m against fierce competition, what you’re doing is too radical. In my opinion, the Central Gourmet Organization can be established, but those groups don’t need to be disbanded.”

"What does this mean? If those groups aren't eliminated, how can the students concentrate on practicing the recipes according to the instructions?" Nakiri Azami shook his head slightly. As expected, he was an outsider who didn't understand the situation. Had he made a mistake by asking him to cooperate?

Thousand Hands waved his hand. "In the end, they are just students. You are wrong to treat them as soldiers. Sure, there are many students who are not talented enough and may be suitable for the kind of teaching method you think of, but won't some still be sacrificed?"

"Moreover, and most importantly, I sensed your indifference. Compared to improving the students' cooking skills, you seem more interested in improving your own, right? Well then, I'll give you a chance. Give me all your power, and I'll send you to a world where countless humans, gods, demons, and monsters gather—the Little Garden!"

As Senju spoke, she conveyed the concept of the miniature garden to Nakiri Azami, whose eyes lit up. "There really is such a world? It's definitely worth going to see it. You're right, one's own culinary skills are indeed more important. By the way, Senju-sama, I recommend a senior to you. He can be said to be the top 1 in the culinary world. He must also want to go to another world."

"The strongest in the world?" Senju also became interested, and Nakiri Azami nodded. "That's right, he is Saiba Seiichiro-senpai. His talent is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, which is why he has aroused the jealousy of many people!"

Listening to Azami Nakiri's account, Senju learned two pieces of information: Saiba Seiichiro was the world's strongest chef, exceptionally talented but ostracized, and his whereabouts were currently unknown; Azami Nakiri was a huge fan of Saiba Seiichiro! For him...

Azami Nakiri is the one who wants to change the world!

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment. The other person's cold appearance and emotions were really mismatched! Just who could be so infatuated with this cold guy? Thinking this, he took out his phone, "Search for Saiba Seiichiro's location!"

"Yes," a ball of light responded from the phone, then projected a light and shadow above the phone. Nakiri Azami looked on curiously, "What's this?"

“Oh, this is AI. It searches for photos by name, then searches cameras all over the world to find matching people. It gets results very quickly,” Qian Shou said, and his phone chimed softly. “See, it found it so easily. Hmm, so it’s in the US.”

"Saiba Seiichiro, now known as Yukihira Seiichiro, runs a small restaurant called 'Yukihira Teishokuya'. His titles include: True Genius, Pioneer, Revolutionary, Delicious Pioneer, and Shura. He has many titles. His wife is deceased, and he has a son named Yukihira Soma. Uh... is this another case of 'like father, like son'?"

"What? Senior Saiba has a son?" Azami Nakiri looked surprised. Senju nodded. "You didn't know? But I saw his son yesterday. He lives in a place called Polar Star Dormitory in Totsuki."

Chapter 1541 Research Association

“Polar Star Dormitory?” Nakiri Azami was even more surprised. “That’s where Saiba-senpai and I used to stay. Looks like we should go take a look.”

"Did you live there too?" Senju looked at Azami Nakiri carefully for a while, then suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder you looked familiar. I saw your face in my memories over there."

“?” Nakiri Azami looked puzzled. Senju stretched out his hand, and a three-dimensional light and shadow appeared in front of him. “This is you, right? You also have a strand of white hair in your hair.”

"It really brings back memories," Nakiri Azami said with some emotion as he looked at his younger self. However, the reporter's focus shifted as he pointed to one of the people in the photo. "This is Saiba-senpai. I never thought I'd see such a young Saiba-senpai again. Senju-sama's skills are truly superb."

"Well, it's alright," Senju shook his head slightly. This wasn't technology, it was magic. But he was too lazy to explain. With a wave of his hand, a letter fell into Nakiri Azami's hand. "This is the ticket to the Little Garden. Once you open it, you can go there. You can hand over your subordinate forces and warriors afterward."

"So this is the gateway to a new world," Azami Nakiri's eyes gleamed as she looked at the letter, but she didn't open it. After taking a deep breath, she placed it in her bosom. "Then, Senpai Saiba..."

“There will be a huge cooking competition here later. We’ll run into each other if we’re lucky. We’ll talk about it then,” Senju thought for a moment and pulled a piece of paper out of thin air. “This is his number. By the way, if you go to see his son, are you worried about not getting his number?”

“What you say makes sense, sir,” Nakiri Azami nodded. “In that case, I’ll contact my men immediately and have them get in touch with Tsukasa Eishi.”

"Me?" Tsukasa Eishi, standing to the side, seemed quite insecure. Senju shook his head slightly. "Forget it, you and Eizan can manage it together. He seems to be very good at management. By the way, I'll equip you two with a spirit computer, which can quickly handle many problems."

With that, Senju took out two wristwatches and handed them to Tsukasa Eishi, then nodded to Nakiri Azami beside him, "Well then, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Senju disappeared. Nakiri Azami sighed, "He's such an elusive character. I'm increasingly eager to visit that little garden world."

Senju felt there was nothing else to do after leaving the area, so she wandered around the school. Before long, she found the library and went inside as usual. Senju started reading, but most of the books here were related to cooking, and even the comics were food-themed.

While idly flipping through books, Senju overheard several students nearby discussing recipes. One of them, a bespectacled man, was none other than Marui Zenji, a student from the Polar Star Dormitory.

Judging from their conversation, the group seemed to be members of a group called the "Miyasato Research Society," which specializes in studying and analyzing classical literature related to food. Marui Zenji appeared to be the intellectual type of the group, and was known as the "Taste Doctor."

"You really can't underestimate anyone," Thousand Hands muttered to himself. Who knew that among that group, the most inconspicuous four-eyed guy was actually the most knowledgeable? He really was one of the protagonist's men.

It's pretty much confirmed now that Soma Yukihira is the protagonist, following the typical anime formula. His father was the strongest in the world before, and now he's following in his father's footsteps. For specific examples of this formula, you can refer to manga like Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach.

However, Senju doesn't dislike this kind of person. After all, the main characters not only have cheat codes, but they also work very hard. This four-eyed guy is probably a companion of the main character, or someone who drives the plot.

Curious, Senju listened for a while, then speechlessly discovered that they were talking about the cooking tips of a Japanese sashimi expert from a hundred years ago. What kind of crazy tips were those? However, the group seemed to be discussing it with great interest. Shaking his head, Senju continued reading his manga.

A little while later, Marui Zenji spotted Senju. After exchanging a few words with his classmates, he came over and said, "You're here to read too? The library here has lots of useful materials."

"Well, it's alright. I'm just here to kill time," Senju said, looking at him.

He casually remarked, "But you're here to study, right? You look like a good student."

“Well, after all, I’m not as physically strong as others, and I’m not very good at cooking, so this is the only way I can try,” Marui Zenji pushed up his glasses. “Our Miyazato Research Club has been dedicated to studying various culinary literature to improve our cooking skills. Would you like to learn more about it?”

"Miyasato? Does he study imperial cuisine?" Senju pretended not to understand. Marui Zenji shook his head. "No, it's a research group established by Professor Miyazato Takao. They don't study imperial cuisine, but rather various culinary documents."

"I see, so it's the research group led by the teacher," Senju nodded to indicate that he understood. Then he rummaged around for a while and pulled out a book. "By the way, I have an interesting book here. You can take a look."

"Oh?" Marui Zenji took the book, which was ten centimeters thick, and started reading. "The first volume of all the ingredients that have ever existed in the world? What an amazing name. I've never seen a book like this before."

"Hmm, there are two hundred books in total. They record all the usable ingredients on Earth since its birth. Let's study them carefully," Senju sighed slightly. This was actually found in Sengoku's world; it's a legacy left behind by that civilization.

However, Marui Zenji was already engrossed in reading, absorbed in the knowledge within. Shaking his head, Senju stood up and walked out of the library. Because of their conversation, Senju remembered something interesting: there were many culinary research clubs around here; he should try them all.

After making a phone call to Tsukasa Eishi, Senju quickly obtained the list and addresses of all the clubs. There are so many kinds of clubs, and they can connect anything with food, like the Sumo Hot Pot Research Club. How are these two things related?!

After flipping through the pages for a while, Senju found a name that seemed normal: Local Cuisine Research Association. Senju liked the name, so he followed the index to find it.

However, this research club isn't located in a building like Senju imagined; it has its own independent area. After all, Totsuki Academy is quite large, so it's normal for a research club to occupy a piece of land.

After passing through a lush forest, Senju saw a small building decorated with Japanese folk items, such as carp streamers. There were also farmland and vegetable gardens around it, where some students were working. It looked like a corner of the countryside.

Chapter 1542 Wanting to Freeload

Seeing this scene, Senju felt it was somewhat familiar. Hmm, in Hestia's world, he had also seen a similar familia and obtained quite a few seeds from them. Now, Senju sensed that many plants in this farmland were undergoing 'mutations', trying to become new species.

Well, this is the information that this world stole from the Thousand Hands. It's a pity that the time was too short. At most, it can only mutate a sprout or something. No one knows about the changes in the seed yet.

After looking around for a while, Senju spotted a familiar face. Tadokoro Megumi was wearing a straw hat and tilling the field. Senju almost complained, but then paused, sensing an unusual ability emanating from her. It seemed she had made a significant breakthrough overnight.

However, Qian Shou then saw several students talking to people who looked like company employees. After listening for a while, Qian Shou realized that they were talking about the development of everyday seasonings. The school clubs could cooperate with external companies, with the external companies providing funding and the clubs providing technology, such as developing new ingredients, conducting culinary research, and improving crops.

"That's really a good idea," Qian Shou muttered to himself. So these clubs all make their own money. He originally thought it was a school-funded program where students received subsidies for farming. It turns out he underestimated their operating model. Thinking about the other clubs, they must also have many companies cooperating with them.

That sumo hotpot research association with that ridiculous name must be related to sumo wrestling. Besides, speaking of which, doesn't Eizan have hundreds of partner companies? Although Senju destroyed them, who knows how many are left now.

However, Senju didn't come here for cooperation this time, but to freeload a meal. Seeing Tadokoro Megumi digging the ground seriously, Senju went over and said, "Hey, Megumi, you're digging a hole."
