Looking at the dozen or so plates of fresh and delicious food behind her, Senju suddenly felt speechless. The food critics here really have it tough. Even if they know the food is not good, they still have to eat it. Of course, it's not that it's really not good, it's just that it's not as good as real delicacies!

"Xiao Hui, you're so gentle," Qian Shou said with a sigh. He waved his hand, collected the remaining dishes, and then took out a badge and handed it to her. "Here, take this. You can upload all kinds of practice dishes to earn points, and then exchange them for various ingredients. By the way, there's a big competition in six months. You should participate in it too."

"Points? Ingredients? Competition?" Tadokoro Megumi, holding the badge, was confused for a moment, then saw a small version of herself pop up on the badge. "Hello, Megumi, I am your summoned beast. Next, I will explain how to use this to you."

Chapter 1546 Stink and Fragrance

"What is this?" Tadokoro Megumi looked curiously at the little sprite version of herself in her hand. After poking it with her finger, she was surprised to find that it was a real object. Little Megumi was also there, pushing against the giant finger with her hand. "It tickles! I am Megumi's summon, Little Megumi's!"

"This is a physical AI projected using special technology, which can help you cook better," Senju explained. In reality, it was a projection of her subconscious. Senju created a rule based on the food spirits in the manga she had read before, allowing people with high-level cooking skills to condense a subconscious spirit body and then inject it into the world, thus giving birth to this cooking spirit. Having a cooking spirit means that your cooking level has reached a certain level.

When Senju created this, the same little sprites also appeared on the bodies of other people with badges. As for the others? Senju was too lazy to infuse them with power to create them. Anyway, as long as they were kept being nurtured, they would eventually condense in a few days, months, or years! But what did this have to do with Senju? At most, he was just collecting everyone's data in the background.

"I see," Tadokoro Megumi nodded, not quite understanding, and then began to communicate with 'herself'. Senju waved and left. After Senju had been gone for a while, Tadokoro Megumi seemed to gradually realize something and exclaimed, "Hey, hey, what just happened to me?!"

'Mental positioning' is the superpower that Senju has been using. Of course, Senju prefers to call it mental distance positioning. It can shorten the mental distance between two people, allowing strangers to regard them as close friends or enemies. Senju just positioned Tadokoro Megumi's perception of him as a 'friend'.

However, this ability is still quite dangerous. Senju still remembers the scene when that girl in Academy City used this ability on him and his mind collapsed. Of course, Senju doesn't need to worry about using it on Tadokoro Megumi. The only thing he's worried about is that the distance will be fixed.

Leaving that area, Senju continued wandering around, when he saw a female classmate, looking like a vengeful ghost, carrying a giant celery stalk, walk past him with a 'hehehe' sound. This left Senju speechless. Putting aside the 'girl's' appearance, just the stench she emanated was enough to leave Senju speechless. Did the culinary academy really have such 'talents'?!

Senju quickly stepped back, and many other classmates beside him did the same, pinching their noses and shouting "It stinks!" before standing aside and making a slight complaint. Senju asked one of the classmates and learned that the person who had just passed by was a strange creature who liked smelly food.

"But why wasn't she expelled?"

"Because that witch's cooking skills are very high! Even though it smells terrible, the teachers still gave her high praise!"

"I see, stinky tofu," Senju nodded. Now he understood the profoundness of cooking. There are not only delicious foods that smell good, but also foods that smell bad. If you want to be specific, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty can all be considered independent categories. However, most people can accept these five flavors, but they cannot accept stench!

Of course, this also shows the 'ghost' classmate's cooking skills. If this tasted too bad, she would have been expelled long ago! Don't forget, this is a culinary school after all. According to the information provided by Azami Nakiri, hundreds of people are eliminated every semester!

However, Senju had no interest in enjoying the other person's cooking. The taste was also making him quite annoyed. He wanted to find something to neutralize it. After thinking for a while, Senju's eyes lit up. That's it, spices!

Previously, Ram and Rem were studying spices at a spice research institute, which I think was the Shiomi Research Association. After looking at the information, Senju should go check it out too.

Then Thousand Hands

Remembering that she had sent the two to deliver the goods, Senju shook her head, looked at the location on the map, and teleported there. However, after arriving there, Senju was speechless for a moment. Seriously, this building is too dilapidated! But there was also the presence of Ram and Rem inside, so it seemed that the two had finished delivering the goods.

The two sensed Senju's presence and immediately emerged from within. "Lord Senju, you've arrived?"

However, the two of them then twitched their noses, and Ram frowned, "Lord Senju, where did you pick up that smell? Did you come into contact with salted fish or other dried goods?"

"No, the one I made yesterday had no smell either," Senju shook her head seriously. "I just ran into a classmate on the street with a smell that made people want to stay away. That's probably when I picked it up."

“It’s very likely that there’s a lot of the fishy smell of dried goods on this,” Rem said, taking out a small bottle and spraying it on Senju. The trace of 'female ghost' aura on Senju was removed, and now she not only didn’t smell bad, but also gave off a very faint fragrance.

"What's this?" Senju looked at the small bottle curiously. Rem shook it. "This is a deodorizing perfume I just made. It can eliminate even the slightest odor, and the scent is very light, so it won't affect the food."

“I see,” Senju nodded as he listened to her explanation, then asked for a few bottles to keep in stock, so he could use them to cleanse that 'ghost' classmate when he had the chance. “It seems you guys have a deep understanding of spices.”

“No, what we’ve learned is just the tip of the iceberg. There are two talented people here, and it’s all thanks to their interpretations that we’ve been able to progress so quickly,” Rem explained from the side. Ram nodded in agreement. “That’s right. There’s a black guy here named Hayama Akira. His nose is even more sensitive than ours, so we’ve also enhanced our sense of smell. If you had gone in like that, Lord Senju, you probably would have been able to smell him out.”

"Uh," Senju was speechless, but these words reminded him of Kiba Inuzuka. What would happen to the people inside if a stink bomb were thrown in? The maid next to him, who could roughly sense Senju's thoughts, was also speechless. Ram sighed and pressed his forehead. His master was acting like a child!

"Um, Professor Shiomi is a very nice person," Rem said timidly. Senju waved her hand, "Alright, alright, I was just thinking about it. After all, I'm going in too."

"..." The two maids were speechless for a moment, thinking about how dangerous it was! However, the three of them still entered the small building. Senju saw a well-lit glass greenhouse inside, with many different plants. After that, the three of them entered a room where two people were engrossed in reading.

However, one is Hayama Akira, with dark skin and white hair, sitting there reading a book, while the other is Shiomi Jun, a loli teacher, writing and drawing in front of the blackboard while reading a book.

Chapter 1547 The World of Fragrance

Professor Shiomi was writing and drawing while seemingly lecturing, completely unaware that her two students had been missing for a while or that guests had arrived. She was so engrossed that she was completely absorbed in her own world.

Instead, Hayama Akira looked up and recognized Senju. He remembered meeting him yesterday; she was the person with the Commander-in-Chief. "It's you? What brings you here?"

"It's nothing, I just came to check on their studies," Senju said, ruffling the heads of the two maids. Hayama Akira was surprised, "Do you know these two maids?"

“This is our master, Lord Senju,” Rem explained softly, then pointed to a pile of books on the table, “These books about various spices were also provided by Lord Senju.”

"These books are yours?" Ye Shanliang's mouth dropped open slightly. These comprehensive spice books contained so much knowledge he had never encountered before. He never expected them to belong to this person. No wonder he was so close to the Commander-in-Chief. "Hello, Lord Senju, I am Ye Shanliang. Thank you for these books. They have benefited me and Run greatly!"

"It's nothing, Hayama-kun. These books would just be gathering dust in my place anyway. It's good that someone can interpret and understand them. They can also learn about these spices. Everyone can learn and improve together," Senju waved her hand, looking indifferent. In fact, if the two of them didn't want to learn about these spices, these books would still be gathering dust. Speaking of which, there are countless books gathering dust in Senju's library right now.

“We’ve benefited greatly from this exchange, and both ladies have very unique insights,” said Hayama Ryo, then raised his hand, “Please sit down. It’s a bit simple here, please forgive me.”

"It's alright, it's alright. A mountain isn't valued for its height, but for the dragons that inhabit it. This place is home to Hayama-kun and Professor Shiomi; it's a very famous place in the entire Totsuki Academy," Senju said. Come to think of it, everyone's been talking nonsense for ages! "By the way, how's your studying going?"

"Yes, I'm studying it now, but there are many difficult parts in these books," said Hayama Akira, as he picked up a book and asked Senju for help. Although Senju wanted to complain a little, she still took a look and understood why he didn't understand. After all, the book he was holding was about spice magic.

“This knowledge is hard for you to understand; it’s knowledge from another world,” Senju shook his head. Hayama Akira’s eyes flashed. “Knowledge from another world?”

"That's right, it tells the story of spices in the magic world."

"Applying it to magic is useless from this perspective," Thousand Hands pointed to a line of text in the book, and the words flew up, forming ribbons of light and various independently dancing fragrances around them. Then the world around them changed, becoming a forest, then a grassland, then a snowfield. "This is the method of using fragrance to construct a realistic world. By combining fragrances, different objects can be manifested. The closer the objects are to reality, the better the fragrance ratio is."

"Spices, can they really achieve this?" Looking at the ever-changing world around him, Hayama Akira was extremely surprised. Every single one looked real, and the scents confirmed that the world around him was real as well. Yet, the changing scents were perfectly harmonious. The application of spices was simply amazing! "Hmm?! What is this scent?!"

"Ouch!" Shiomi Jun cried out in pain. Everyone looked over and saw a giant white wolf licking her. Ye Shanliang quickly jumped over, grabbed Shiomi Jun, and jumped back, then carefully checked her over. "Jun, are you alright?!"

"No, it's nothing," Shiomi Jun said blankly, still holding a handful of wolf fur. "Ryo, where is this?"

"It's good that you're alright," Hayama Ryo breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Shiomi Jun was unharmed, then looked at Senju and Wolf to the side, "Are these also constructed from fragrance?"

"Yes, the smell of the sea makes people feel like they're at sea; that's the basic principle," Senju nodded. The basic principle of this is actually a redemption that deceives perception, but under the influence of magic, its power is amplified countless times.

“Scent deception?” Hayama Akira reacted quickly, then shook his head. “But in reality, such things are very difficult, after all, scent is not the only sensory method.”

“Well, we’re talking about magic, you know. In this world, spices can be combined to make anything,” Senju shrugged slightly, looking at Hayama Akira who seemed to be deep in thought. “Try making a dish in this world. As for the ingredients, find them here.”

"Can the things in this world be cooked?" Hayama Akira asked uncertainly. Senju nodded. "At least for you, it's true. Although for me, they're just a collection of smells."

"I see, I'll give it a try," Ye Shanliang's eyes lit up, his emotions had stabilized. After all, he came from the mythical country of India; what kind of grand occasion hadn't he seen? In the end, it's still cooking, isn't it? He's an expert at that! Not to mention that the essence of this time is to create flavor!

"Um, Ryo, where is this?" Shiojian Jun asked timidly from the side, while the wolf next to her barked wildly, "Woof woof woof!"

"Ah!" Shiomi Jun quickly hid behind Hayama Ryo. "Ryo, watch out, there's a dog!"

"It's alright, it's alright, it's from a wolf," Hayama Ryo comforted Shiomi Jun, but it didn't seem to work very well. "We'll have roasted wolf meat later!"

“Be careful, these are all ‘alive’,” Senju said, already seated at the table with Ram pouring red wine beside him. Hayama Akira closed his eyes briefly, recalling the book he had just been reading. The knowledge from it flowed through his mind. “I see. I understand now. Spices are weapons, after all, it’s all about olfactory deception!”

As he spoke, he pulled a bunch of small bottles from his pocket, waved his hand, and several spices mixed together, then formed the shape of a gun in his hand. "It really works."

"That's really amazing," Senju exclaimed in surprise. After all, Hayama Akira was just an ordinary chef, but he had managed to use spices to create the aroma of firearms so precisely that these weapons could materialize in this world and even be used. It was simply incredible. "His nose is too sensitive!"

“Hmm, Hayama-san’s sense of smell is the strongest I’ve ever seen,” Rem chimed in, then pulled out her tablet to show Senju. “Perhaps it’s related to this world. Because of their culinary skills, many people’s senses have been amplified. Besides Hayama-san, who has a keen sense of smell, the most famous one is Erina Nakiri, who is known as the ‘God Tongue’.”

Chapter 1548 Theft and Reward

“Yeah, I know,” Senju swiped the tablet, looking at Erina’s profile, which said that she had been judging various restaurants since she was a child and was still very busy. “But God’s Tongue, Hayama-san’s nose can also be called God’s Nose. By the way, does she have God’s Eyes or God’s Hands or something?”

"It feels like a god has been dismembered. What a pitiful god," Ram said with a sarcastic remark. Senju chuckled, "Maybe it really is. Speaking of which, there are similar things in other worlds. The creations of the world are truly amazing."

Slowly chatting with the two maids, Hayama Akira had already taken down the wolf, and Shiomi Jun had started collecting various ingredients. The two worked together quite well, and soon they used various spices to create various cooking utensils and seasonings. Watching from the side, Senju felt like they were playing a synthesis game.

Of course, from another perspective, they are helping this world to constantly explore various possibilities. The mixture of various fragrances gives birth to new possibilities. The more they are blended, the more complete this world becomes. Maybe in the end it can become a nice little world.

Then, after a while, an incredibly strong aroma burst forth from the cooking table, followed by a beam of light shooting into the sky. Then, Ye Shanliang carried...

A dish arrived. "Charcoal-grilled wolf meat, please enjoy!"

"Oh, it looks delicious," Senju exclaimed, admiring the wondrous glow emanating from the dish. She had finally witnessed a truly luminous dish, though it was not in the outside world. After taking a small bite, Senju sensed the emotions contained within it—a protective heart for Shiomi Jun.

“Not bad,” Senju shook his head slightly. Although the food was good, the will within it was ultimately at odds with his own. Nevertheless, he still flicked a badge at Hayama Akira. Then, a fragrance wafted into his nose, and Hayama Akira instantly understood its use. “There’s such a device?”

Then Senju snapped her fingers, and the world began to revert to a series of fragrances, which then turned into words and finally shrank into a book, though with many more words. While Hayama Akira was studying the badge, Senju condensed the insights into the fragrance ratios that Hayama Akira and Shiomi Jun had gathered from the real world and passed them on to Ram and Rem.

"I see," the two women's eyes lit up. With this insight, they could mix any flavor at any time. They looked at each other and Rem said softly, "Senju-sama, our learning is now complete. From now on, the dishes at home will be even more delicious."

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it,” Senju nodded, glancing at Hayama Ryo and Shiomi Jun beside her. “Well then, we’ll be leaving now. Those books…”

Senju suddenly stopped speaking, looking at Ram and Rem beside him. He suddenly remembered that these books already belonged to the two of them. Rem stepped forward, waved her hand, and copied the books, putting the originals away. "These books are our thank-you gift. Please accept them."

"Are you leaving?" Shiomi Jun asked with a hint of reluctance. Ram nodded. "Yes, thank you for the knowledge you taught us. We will put it to good use."

"Wait," Shiomi Jun suddenly remembered something, called out, and ran outside. Then there was a sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets. Hayama Ryo, who was next to her, felt embarrassed. Then he looked at Senju and said, "Um, could you give Jun one of these badges too? Her cooking skills are also very good."

Having learned the purpose of the badge, Hayama Akira also met his Pokémon. He knew how useful it was to the chef, so although he was a little embarrassed, he still spoke up.

“Sure,” Senju nodded, but didn’t give it to him. Instead, she made a few gestures in the air and then said, “Pull the screen to the bottom. There’s an invitation option. Each person only has one invitation opportunity. As long as you pass the assessment, you can become a new member. The assessment is also related to cooking skills.”

"I see, then I'm relieved," Hayama Ryo breathed a sigh of relief. He had a lot of confidence in Shiomi Jun's cooking skills. If all else failed, he would still be there for her. He could give Jun some hands-on training for a while before putting her to the test!

After a while, Shiomi Jun came in with a box and handed it to Rem, saying, "These are seeds of various spices that I have cultivated. They are very good varieties. You can take them and plant them too. They can be used in cooking."

"Thank you," Rem said sincerely in her heart. After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them left. However, when Hayama Akira and Shiomi Jun returned to the house, they were puzzled. "Akira, when was this big box placed here?"

"It wasn't here just now, Run. Did someone deliver it?" Ye Shanliang curiously examined the silver box that looked like a sci-fi prop. Then, a gem on the box flashed, accompanied by a soft sound and a gust of cold air. The box slowly opened, revealing a container made of transparent material underneath, and a book on top. "The cultivation of ten thousand kinds of spices? Is it them? They are really strange people."

As an oddball, Senju strolled around the campus with his two maids, attracting the attention of many students who pointed and whispered among them. However, Senju didn't seem to care and continued to take his two maids around to freeload meals—no, to study!

However, many students still had to attend classes. After visiting many clubs, the three of them found that their leaders were not there, and the remaining members were not very good. After visiting seven or eight clubs, Senju lost interest. "Ram and Rem, do you know any fun places around here?"

“No,” Ram shook his head decisively. “Lord Senju has already eaten dozens of dishes and probably isn’t interested anymore. Besides, the landscape and architecture of this planet are 99.9% similar to those of Earth, so there are no special places to visit.”

“Sister is right,” Rem nodded in agreement. Indeed, in this world, most of the scenes were already in their minds with a sweep of their divine senses. There really wasn’t anything that Senju would find ‘fun’. Well, maybe it’s because everyone’s understanding is different. Senju was thinking about interesting places, while the two maids were thinking about places that would satisfy Senju. The difference between the two is too great.

"Is that so?" Senju thought for a while, then looked in one direction, did some calculations, nodded, and waved to take out a small car. "Get in, let's go over there. There'll be a good show to watch later."

Chapter 1549: Revisiting Ji Xing Lao

Then the two got into the car, with Senju driving slowly in front. The car he took out wasn't a regular car, but a four-wheeled electric sightseeing vehicle. The three of them looked at the surrounding scenery, chatted, and moved slowly along.

After circling the school's roads several times, Senju led the two to the Polar Star Dormitory, where a black sedan was already parked. "Looks like we've arrived."

When Senju mentioned that he had arrived, he was referring to Azami Nakiri. He came here after dealing with those matters, but it was obvious that he had arrived early. When he arrived, Soma Yukihira and the others were still in school, but now school had just ended, and a group of Soma Yukihira and his friends were slowly walking towards them from a distance.

However, as they walked, they were discussing the giant vegetables, the little elves, and the Thousand Hands, when they saw three people sitting in a sightseeing car by the roadside. Soma Yukihira clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Ah, isn't that the Thousand Hands? Here they come again! Maybe we can get those badges too. I'm also very interested in ingredients from another world!"

"But who are those two girls?" Marui Zenji pushed up his glasses. "With that kind of attire, could they be twin maids? They're really pretty."

“Oh, they really do look alike,” Soma Yukihira said curiously, then turned to someone next to him and said, “By the way, Touch Me, why do you and your brother look so different?”

"Shut up! The gap between us isn't that big," the blond boy, Touchi, complained. "We're brothers, not twins, so it's normal to be a little different! Besides, it's not good to comment on people like that!"

Ram glared coldly at them. She had clearly heard their comments, and the others were immediately intimidated, sweat pouring down their foreheads. Only Tadokoro Megumi emitted a faint light, blocking Ram's oppressive aura. Ram then withdrew her aura. "Master's aura? Lord Senju, is that girl someone you've chosen?"

“Yes, I have high hopes for her. You guys should try her cooking later, it’s amazing,” Senju nodded, looking at Rem beside her. “Besides, Rem will definitely get along well with her.”

"Hmm," Rem nodded gently. She also sensed a warm aura emanating from the blue-haired girl over there. Then, Senju stood up and walked over. "Hello everyone, is school over yet?"

"Yo, Senju, you're here again? I haven't congratulated you on defeating the Ninth Seat yet," Soma Yukihira greeted him, then his expression turned serious. "Senju, how about a food battle with me?"

"Wait, Yukihira, I was the one who told you first!" Tapimy shouted unhappily from the side, looking like he had been NTR'd. Senju rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not interested at all. In the end, I'm just here to watch the show. There are people waiting for you inside."

"Huh? Is someone looking for me?" Soma Yukihira asked, puzzled, then noticed the car parked at the door. "But I don't remember knowing anyone who owns such a luxury car. Could there be some mistake?"
