Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

With Qin Zhou's current strength, he can handle ferocious beasts with a capture level of two or three hundred. He shouldn't have too much of a problem wandering around the outskirts of the Gourmet World.

Chapter 49 reminds Jiro to be aware of potential dangers.

Qin Zhou put down his chopsticks, stroked his chin and began to think. The culinary world was indeed not far away from him.

There, besides capturing high-level beasts, the most dangerous thing is the various extremely harsh environments. To survive in the world of gastronomy, one must have the ability to adapt to or even surpass those environments.

"Master's wife, do you want me to enter the culinary world right now?" Qin Zhou asked curiously.

Entering the periphery of the culinary world shouldn't be a problem as long as you're careful. If you encounter something you can't handle, the best course of action is to simply leave.

"Xiao Yi asked me to pass on a message. He's been quite busy lately, otherwise he would have come to see you this time." Jie Nai shook her head.

She knew that Qin Zhou's strength was almost sufficient, but to enter the Gourmet World, he would first need to adapt to some harsh environments similar to the Gourmet World in the Human Realm.

"My master asked you and my master's wife to pass on a message to me?" Qin Zhou became interested. As his current superior, Yi Long was also very curious about this legendary figure.

Aru and the others perked up their ears; the old man had actually allowed Qin Zhou to enter the culinary world.

"It's nothing serious, I just need you to pick up an employee from the Zeroth Realm." Jiro glanced at Toriko and the other two without making their presence known.

The primary purpose was to pick them up, while the secondary purpose was to give Toriko and the others some excitement. After all, if their peers could enter the culinary world, they would naturally be more motivated.

Jiro sighed inwardly, realizing how much Ichiryu had worried about these four little ones, treating them like his own sons even though they weren't his biological children.

"Master, wait a minute, are you kidding me? I'm a complete novice in the culinary world, and you want me to greet a Level 0 employee who can operate in the culinary world?" Qin Zhou couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He knew that those people were very strong; they were all experts carefully selected by Yi Long from all over the world.

In terms of experience in the culinary world, he is certainly not as experienced as those people.

Jiro smiled without saying a word, and Qin Zhou couldn't help but ponder. He had a rough idea of ​​who he was going to greet, but whether it was the one he had guessed or not, he would only know when he met him.

As for why it wasn't Yi Long who brought them out, of course there was no need. The staff of Zero Realm are all people who can adapt to the environment of the food industry, and Yi Long, as the president of IGO, is very busy.

"Master Jiro, when can we go to the culinary world?" Toriko asked curiously.

The alluring world of food has always been a place Toriko longs for.

"How many of you are there?" Jiro observed for a moment, then shook his head.

"Your strength is still lacking. The culinary world isn't something you can conquer simply by strength. Listen to Xiao Yi's plan. Entering the culinary world carelessly will... lead to your death."

Toriko clenched his fist, feeling that he should be able to do it.

If it were someone else who said it, I would be more skeptical, but there's no need for Jiro to play tricks on them. However, he won't give up until he tries it himself and experiences the harsh realities of the culinary world.

"Where do I need to go?" Qin Zhou asked casually, since he probably didn't need to delve into the culinary world.

There are three easiest routes to enter the culinary world: the Life Pot on Zebel Island, the Port of Evil Spirits on Yuto Island, and the Three Paths on the Vark Continent.

All three paths lead to the culinary world, but survival thereafter depends entirely on skill and luck; the other paths have an extremely high mortality rate.

“You are going to Zebel Island, the ‘Life-Gathering Waterfall’,” Jiro said.

The so-called three paths are only for most foodies. For a super expert like him, he can enter the culinary world no matter where he goes.

Qin Zhou nodded. There was also an Air Fruit Tree at the Life Waterfall, which was related to air, but it couldn't compare to air. It was probably the difference between a subject and a king.

"I understand. When will it be?"

"Three days from now, just wait there. Of course, if you want to go and explore beforehand, that's fine too," Jiro said.

"Qin Zhou, this is your identification. Show this, and you can enter many places under IGO."

Mansam took out a black ID card with the three gold-embossed letters "IGO" on the cover and Qin Zhou's job information inside.

Qin Zhou glanced at it and put the document away.

"Toriko, do you want me to bring you some ingredients from the culinary world to try?" Qin Zhou joked with a smile.

Toriko swallowed hard, but still shook his head.

"No need. I'll be entering the culinary world soon, and I'll handle it myself then."

He was indeed very curious about the taste of the ingredients there, but he felt a greater sense of accomplishment from personally catching and tasting them.

“Master Jiro, do you know anything about Earth?” Sani asked.

I originally intended to ask the reborn family member, but now that Jiro is here, I can't suppress my curiosity.

“I know, I know where the entire Acacia menu is, but even if I told you, you still wouldn’t be able to get it right now,” Jiro said with a smile.

Although those ingredients did taste very good, Jiro wasn't that enthusiastic; he preferred the ingredients on his entire menu.

"Hehe, young man, don't be too ambitious. If you want to capture ingredients of that level, strength is an essential factor."

"Do you now have the resolve to confront the Eight Princes directly?"

Toriko and the others were taken aback. The Eight Kings were super beasts with a level of over 6,000. Could it be that Acacia's complete menu was near the Eight Kings' habitat?

“If you are qualified, I don’t mind telling you.”

"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Jie and I are leaving now."

Jiro stood up and left with Setsunori. Qin Zhou hurriedly went out to see them off.

"Xiao Zhou, next time you come to your master's wife's shop, she'll cook for you. If you want to try Kojiro's complete menu, I'll have him go to the culinary world to find it for you," Setsuno said with a smile.

"I'm fine with either, but that would require some time to prepare."

Jiro's expression remained unchanged. A trip to the culinary world was nothing to him; he could just treat it as a chance to stretch his muscles.

"Master's wife, do I need to make an appointment?" Qin Zhou joked.

"Hehe, you're Kojiro's disciple, no need for an appointment," Setsuno said with a smile, giving Qin Zhou a sidelong glance, since they were all family.

Unlike Yi Long's other disciples, Qin Zhou was much closer to him, so he could come whenever he wanted, as long as she was in the shop.

"After I return from the culinary world, I'll visit your shop, Master's Wife," Qin Zhou said with a smile.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"Master, the acupoint techniques you taught me are indeed effective, but if the damage is sealed inside the body for a long time, it will accumulate over time. Once it is all released, the body will not be able to withstand the massive damage accumulated." Qin Zhou intended to remind Jiro.

Acacia held back a trick when teaching Jiro pressure point techniques.

“Master, there must be a lot of damage sealed inside your body. Find a way to release it to avoid this kind of hidden danger.”

Acacia, when you see Jiro in peak condition and without any internal injuries, you'll be so happy you'll "fly" away.

You're right.

Jiro's expression shifted slightly; he was all too aware of the immense damage accumulating within his body.

If released all at once, even someone as powerful as him would explode and die instantly.

Since it's a type of acupressure, there must be a way to undo it.

Over the years, no one has been able to threaten him, not even a small lizard like Blue Netero, whom Jiro has not taken seriously.

Therefore, he never considered the issue of acupressure points causing injury and subconsciously ignored it.

Setsunori knew how much harm Jiro had sealed away back then, and just thinking about it once it was released sent chills down her spine.

That's a massive amount of damage that could destroy a planet.

"The hidden danger of acupoint injury is indeed very deadly, and it's all thanks to your reminder, Xiaozhou."

Better safe than sorry, Jiro had to take this seriously. The damage sealed within his body couldn't be left untreated; it had to be released little by little.

He certainly wouldn't remove it all at once, otherwise even God couldn't save him.

Chapter 50 The Waterfall of Life

Qin Zhou arrived at the checkpoint on Zebel Island a day early with the fighting wolf Lota.

“Lord Qin Zhou, although this should be your first time entering the culinary world, since you are the 0th habitat employee selected and invited by the Chairman, I don’t need to advise you to think twice before proceeding.” Elber, with a pipe in his mouth, returned the identification to Qin Zhou.

"The culinary world is truly a wild place, but its ever-changing climate has also made it a graveyard for gourmets." Qin Zhou raised an eyebrow, a hopeful smile on his handsome face.

Acacia's entire menu is a culinary discovery; aside from a few key ingredients, all the others are worth exploring.

The culinary world is a vast, unexplored territory, meaning that many ingredients are unknown to most people. Therefore, the culinary world is also known as a paradise of food.

Many food connoisseurs, aiming for this "paradise," resolutely venture into it.

If I go and never return, then I will never return.

The mortality rate is so high that even top-notch gourmets might end up buried here.

Seventy percent of the Earth's surface is covered by vast culinary landscapes, and due to unusual weather and special magnetic fields, even satellites struggle to capture clear images of these culinary wonders.

Therefore, before entering the culinary world, those food critics knew nothing about it.

In the sea area bordering the human world, flows the deadly current known as the "Poison Tide."

At the horizon, there is a wall formed by a huge low-pressure cyclone.

"Although the beasts in the culinary world are powerful, many who enter end up dying in the extreme climate. Compared to that, the human world is paradise," Elber laughed.

"The Gourmet World is even more dog-eat-dog than the Human World. If you can't adapt, you'll die before you even begin," Qin Zhou said.

He had heard Jiro mention the environment of the culinary world before, but this was his first time entering it, so he couldn't help feeling a little excited and apprehensive.

"Every year at the 18th checkpoint, hundreds of people enter, but none of them return; they all die inside. They encounter ferocious beasts of level hundreds of levels, and the dangerous and deadly environment makes the culinary world full of unknowns and dangers."

"However, the ingredients in the culinary world still attract many fearless gourmets. Every time I try to dissuade them, they still jump in headfirst as if it's their own death."

Elber shook his head. These checkpoints were set up by President Yilong to isolate the human world from the food world, and the effect was indeed quite good.

This route is alright; not many ferocious beasts from the culinary world come up here. Each checkpoint is guarded by top-notch gourmets, mainly to intercept the beasts from entering the human world.

Because once a ferocious beast leaves the food world, its capture level is either several thousand or several hundred, and the destruction it causes to the human world is enormous, such as the Four Beasts.

"Since you've made the decision, it means you're not afraid to die."

"Ghana--"

"We're off."

Qin Zhou waved his hand and sat on Lota's back. Perhaps it was the aroma of the gourmet world that made the wolf's eyes flash with excitement.

Using their flight abilities on Lota, the two of them, one human and one wolf, floated down at a leisurely pace.
