Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

At night, on a spacious rooftop of the research institute, Qin Zhou and his group sat around a table. In front of them was a huge plate of meat with gemstones wafting out, even before the lid was opened.

The moment the lid was opened, a dazzling light burst forth. Although it was nighttime, the rooftop was illuminated by the light emitted by the gemstone, as if the sun had risen.

Suddenly exposed to such blinding light, everyone was so dazzled that they couldn't see the meat on their plates.

After their eyes adjusted, the cut gemstone meat was presented to them.

The meat gleams like a gemstone, covered with beautiful patterns. The glistening juices flow like gold dust on the plate, and the aroma is irresistible. It's so visually stunning that it doesn't look like food at all, but rather like a fine work of art.

In ancient times, gemstone mammoths were extremely valuable because they shone with a jewel-like brilliance. They were also used as wedding rings and served as powerful proof of capturing a legal mammoth, which inspired many people to embark on the path of capturing gemstone mammoths.

"Waaah, I'm so touched, but I can't record it at all." Tina was in tears. The light emanating from the gemstone was too intense for her camera to capture the moment.

However, seeing the gemstone meat made the trip truly worthwhile for a streamer.

"Toriko, you must have eaten before, right?" Sani looked at the light emanating from Toriko's body and recalled how the gem meat had been cut into several pieces. No wonder his skin had become so shiny.

“That’s right, I would have died if I hadn’t eaten the gem meat. That guy named Staju is really strong.” Toriko touched his muscles, his cells had evolved and become even stronger than before.

"And this gemstone meat is really amazing, I just went to the bathroom..."

"Stop, Toriko!" Qin Zhou knew what Toriko was about to say, so he quickly stopped him with a look of disgust.

It's mealtime now, so there's no need to discuss such a stimulating topic, otherwise it will affect our appetite.

The others also looked at Toriko with hostility. They knew what Toriko was about to say would definitely ruin their appetite, so there was no need for him to utter such disgusting descriptions.

Toriko scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Ahem, let's eat."

Qin Zhou picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth; cutting it with a knife and fork was too much trouble.

"tasty!!"

As you chew, a rich and delicious broth bursts in your mouth. Even without any seasoning, the original flavor of the gem meat is still incredibly delicious; in fact, no amount of seasoning can truly enhance its flavor.

The gravy was very refreshing and not sticky. The moment it slid down to my stomach, it felt like an electric current was running through my body, and every cell was glowing with pleasure. It wasn't an illusion; my body was really glowing.

The texture of the gemstone meat is extremely rich; some parts taste like chewing heart, while others taste like chewing liver...

"Lota, here, have some first."

Qin Zhou cut a piece of gem meat and placed it in front of Lota. Although it was just a small amount for Lota, the amount of gem meat was limited. If they encountered a mammoth again in the future, they would definitely catch one.

Let Lota have a taste; it would be too awkward for her to just watch.

"Awoo~ Smack~"

Lota gulped it down and began to chew.

The legal mammoth has a much larger original species in the culinary world, so Doulang can be considered to accept this ingredient.

“Now…it’s confirmed!” Toriko took a sip of champagne with satisfaction, looking at the full moon in the night sky.

"What have you confirmed, Toriko?"

Sani's voice interrupted Toriko's next words. After eating the gem meat, Sani was radiant. Every strand of his thick, long hair was shining. He was definitely the most dazzling person there.

"Of course, I'm making Gemstone Meat a must-have meat dish on my full menu."

Toriko smiled faintly, "The blank spaces in the meat dishes will soon be filled with gem meat."

"Wait a minute!"

Sani's sudden voice kicked out the process that was about to be finalized.

Toriko was furious: "Sani, what the hell are you doing?!"

Komatsu and the others were speechless. Could they really be interrupted like this? Wasn't anyone going to fix the dimensional barrier?

"Toriko, look at the radiance that shines all over my body. Gemstone flesh is clearly more suitable for me."

Sani stroked his shimmering long hair, thinking that the gem meat was indeed a beautiful ingredient that suited him perfectly.

"Sani, dream on! I made the decision first, so get out of my way!"

Immediately afterwards, the two began to argue about whose full menu should include the gem meat.

While it's not a rule that a particular ingredient can only be chosen by one person, it would certainly be awkward if everyone knew each other and the same ingredient appeared on the entire menu.

"Your arguing is too much trouble. Why don't you just see who has the stronger fist?" Qin Zhou suggested, not wanting to miss out on the drama and wanting to watch the show.

Toriko and Sani looked down at their fists, staring intently at each other. This method sounded good.

Speaking of which, it's been quite a long time since the Four Heavenly Kings have had a battle or sparring session.

"How about it, Toriko? How about we settle things with our fists after all this time?"

Sani was full of fighting spirit. He would never let go of such a beautiful ingredient as gem meat. There was nothing more suitable as his main course.

"Alright, Sani, it's been a while. I wonder if your strength has improved during this time?" Toriko said with a smile, and the phantom of the red oni appeared.

Coincidentally, he didn't want to give up on the gem meat directly either. Its taste was undoubtedly satisfying to him, and it could be used to make meat dishes on the full menu.

Chapter 44 Erina, I want to eat fish.

The two didn't fight. Toriko just thought the gem meat was nice, but it wasn't a must-have.

Finally, because the gem meat suited Sani better, it became the main dish on Sani's menu. Toriko almost punched Sani when he saw Sani's smug and arrogant expression.

"Mr. Qin Zhou, you're finally back!"

"What a huge... wolf!" Smail was startled by Lota. Wolves are scary enough, let alone wolf fights.

“Lota won’t attack you, Smail. Is the house finished?” Qin Zhou asked.

“It was completed a few days ago. Let me take you to see it. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can make changes.” Smail nodded.

"Based on your service attitude, I will definitely give you a ten-star review from now on," Qin Zhou said with a smile.

Smail scratched his head and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Qin Zhou."

Upon seeing his house, Qin Zhou's eyes lit up; it was a three-story Chinese-style villa.

The windows, entrance door, and balcony are all simple and elegant. From the windows, you can see that there are quite a few rooms inside. Because hard marble and granite are used, it gives people a sense of stability that is not affected by the wind.

Qin Zhou was quite satisfied with this aspect. Although the candy house looked dreamy, its shelf life was too short.

"From the outside, I'm very satisfied. Smail, your design is excellent," Qin Zhou praised.

“I’m glad you’re satisfied. Some of the furniture is carved from food ingredients, so it will be easier to replace it later,” Smail said.

Qin Zhou's requirements were much more humane than those of Aru's Candy House; this kind of house only needed its furniture changed periodically.

“Let me show you inside the house,” Smail said, leading the way.

Qin Zhou completed the facial recognition and opened the front door. Although the decoration was luxurious, it was just right, creating a warm atmosphere with a subtle sense of simplicity.

The chandelier in the living room is made of candy crystal, and the soft carpet is made from the fur of wild animals…

Edible furniture—if you're too lazy to cook, you can just hug it and take a bite.

The kitchen and bathroom were also meticulously designed, but the gym left Qin Zhou speechless. With his current strength, would lifting weights in the gym be useful?

“Smail, I’m a food connoisseur, your gym probably isn’t very useful, is it?” Qin Zhou asked.

Smail: "..."

Smail was stunned. Right.

“Then I’ll change it to something else for you later.” Smail nodded; it was indeed his mistake.

"Forget it, let's just stay there. It won't make a difference if we have one more room." Qin Zhou shook his head.

After a quick look around, Qin Zhou was very satisfied and immediately transferred the money to Smail, having only paid a deposit previously.

Smail liked taking on these quick and efficient assignments.

Lying on the large bed in the master bedroom, Qin Zhou groaned comfortably.

The soft, large bed, the faint scent of lavender—sleepiness washes over me; time to drift off to sleep.

Qin Zhou slept until noon the next day, then sat up, yawned, stretched, and rubbed his messy hair.

No matter where you sleep, it's never as comfortable as your own bed; the feeling is definitely different.

【Star Forger】: "Erina, are you free right now? @God's Tongue;"

Cook, I want to eat fish.

Xiaosong is far away, and the partner arranged by Master Yilong hasn't come online yet.

So, it's you I've chosen, Erina!

【Pink Fairy】: "Oh my? Is Qin Zhou going to invite Erina on a date?"

Alicia, that pink fat lady.

Qin Zhou ignored her, adopting a high-attack, low-defense strategy, like a glass cannon, and decided to wait until they met again.

He pinned her against the wall, making her blush with shyness.

Alicia, you don't want to see Earth wiped out by the Herrscher of the End, do you?

[God's Tongue]: "I have time now, is there anything I can help you with?"

Erina spent the last couple of days catching up on the chat group's history, and she was filled with curiosity about the ingredients in Qin Zhou's world.

She's a chef, and ingredients are more appealing than stamina.

[Star Forger]: "Come to my side, I need a chef to cook breakfast."

[God's Tongue]: "???"

Erina was speechless. Was this person treating her, the God Tongue, like a servant?

She's the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family!

[Dead Pilot]: "I remember that the ingredients Mr. Qin Zhou had were all edible, right?"

Daigo tasted the food Qin Zhou sent him, and it was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating.

【Star Forger】: "Pufferfish and whales are poisonous ingredients and need to be cooked before eating."

[Star Forger]: "Erina, don't you want to try something delicious you've never tasted before?"

This statement truly moved Erina; there are very few chefs who can create ingredients that can evoke the tongue of God.
