"What a simple and profound cooking method!" Qin Zhou complained.

Although he didn't touch the sphere, Qin Zhou didn't think the hot planet's outer shell was fragile. Even among the staff of the Zero Realm, probably few could break it.

This method must have been done by Nitromo.

"Can't you listen to the sounds of the ingredients?" Qin Zhou asked.

“The kind of skill you’re talking about, among the top 100 chefs in the world, no more than a handful can achieve it,” Atacino said.

"Sometimes I can hear it, and sometimes I can't."

Simply put, it works sometimes and doesn't work at all.

That ability is related to luck with food. Komatsu is able to do it because his luck with food is among the best in the world.

Komatsu is the main character, so his luck with food is naturally not too bad, while Atacino can be said to be a supporting character in the manga, so his luck with food is definitely not as good as Komatsu's.

However, now that he's partnered with this time traveler, Atacino's luck with food might gradually improve.

"Why don't you try it first? I'm quite curious to see what a perfectly cooked hot planet would taste like."

"...Okay, I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure if it will work."

Atasino closed his eyes, and Qin Zhou was not in a hurry and did not urge Atasino.

It's okay if you can't hear it; we can talk about it next time you come.

About half an hour later, Atasino opened his eyes and said with delight, "I heard it this time. We need to use a higher temperature to ripen the fruit inside, and then the outer shell will open."

(This is what the guy guessed.)

"But... how do we achieve temperatures even higher than those of hot planets?"

Qin Zhou stroked his chin and said, "High-temperature flames."

"So, it's my turn to make a move."

A spark with starlight effects ignited in Qin Zhou's palm. The flames driven by the Star Forger Dragon King were certainly no less hot than this hot planet.

Having just consumed the Air Fruit, his strength has increased, allowing him to better control the power of the Starfire.

"What terrifying flames!" Atasino exclaimed.

Within this ball of flame, she felt a deadly threat, as if it could burn her to ashes if it were to touch her.

"All I have to do is envelop the hot planet in flames and let the fruit inside ripen?" Qin Zhou asked.

“Yes, your flames can ripen the fruit inside. Control the heat well and make sure the hot planet is heated evenly.” Atasino nodded.

Qin Zhou manipulated the starfire, scorching the entire hot planet. Most people would never imagine that cooking on a hot planet would be done in this way.

The ability to listen to the voice of ingredients is an incredibly powerful skill for chefs, capable of giving them a significant advantage.

Atasino would occasionally offer reminders, and Qin Zhou's job was simply to control the firepower.

Two and a half hours later—

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a sweet aroma swept out like a storm. Qin Zhou and Atacino couldn't help but swallow, as if they were in a fruit paradise.

The flesh is a bright red color, crystal clear, like a red crystal. The shimmering red light is like a burning flame, but it does not give people a burning feeling.

Although the hot planet is 30 meters long, the flesh inside is not that huge, about half the size of the shell.

"It's not hot at all, delicious! The texture is like a soft, chewy cactus fruit. It doesn't have the complex and varied layers of flavor like rainbow fruit, but the sweetness is much better—sweet but not cloying." Qin Zhou savored it with a look of pure enjoyment.

One bite after another, it's so addictive, and it contains energy that's many times more than beef, no, it contains energy that's far greater than that of air fruit.

This sweetness is also very long-lasting, remaining in the mouth for a long time.

Qin Zhou felt his cells evolving. With a thought, his body emitted a strong attraction, drawing the surrounding pebbles and sand towards him.

The Heavenly Guidance of All Things —

"This gravity?" Atasino felt a sudden pulling sensation on his body, almost being dragged towards Qin Zhou.

"Excuse me, this is a new ability I just learned." Qin Zhou withdrew his own gravity.

Hot planets have strong gravity, which could be a source of food, so that's probably why he learned about gravity.

Since he has just learned it, he certainly can't attract a strong person like Atasino. Yi Long's gravity is like a rotating planet. If Qin Zhou wants to reach that level, he needs time to grow.

"Phew... I've made up my mind!"

"The full menu's dessert—Hot Planet."

"Atacino, this is a commemorative dish to mark the occasion when the two of us became partners."

Today, he and Atacino became partners. Qin Zhou felt that the ingredient "Hot Planet" was very meaningful. If Atacino hadn't heard the cooking method, he would have just been staring at it helplessly.

Putting aside the improvements it brought him, the wonderful and dreamy sweetness alone was unforgettable. It was a perfect match for his culinary cells, and he could feel the pleasant emotions emanating from them.

He has already tasted quite a lot of delicious food, and the taste of Hot Planet can be ranked No. 1 for now.

"congratulations."

Atacino said with a smile that she fully supported Qin Zhou's decision, as it was indeed a memorable moment for the newly formed partnership between them.

"By the way, have the other ingredients been finalized?"

"Not yet. Hot planets are the first ingredient I've identified, but I don't know the exact capture level."

Qin Zhou tested it with IGO's instruments, and it showed up as gibberish, indicating that the capture level of the hot planet was above 1,000.

The boost from the hot planet was greater than that from the air fruit. Besides being a suitable dish for him, it was also of a higher level than the air fruit.

Below level 1000, I am invincible; above level 1000, I can trade one for one.

Of course, if Qin Zhou were to encounter a beast of several thousand levels, he would have no choice but to flee, for as long as he survives, he can always make a comeback.

Sure enough, ingredients from the Gourmet World have a more significant effect on improving strength. The increasingly outrageous combat power in the later stages of the manga is also related to the increasingly outrageous levels of ingredients from the Gourmet World.

After putting the uneaten food into the small space, Qin Zhou and Atacino left the culinary world.

The reason we didn't encounter the big tiger and the monkey might be because the wolf's aura made them wary, which is why they didn't show up.

Qin Zhou's complete menu—

Dessert: Hot Planet

Capture Level: 2000

Capture method: Mature the hot planet through extremely high temperatures.

Chapter 57: Time to Persecute Old Yang

After returning to the human world, Atacino did not travel with Qin Zhou. She had some matters to attend to. After finding Yi Long, she would return to the Healing Kingdom.

As a renowned doctor, her residence and workplace are located in the Land of Healing.

He hasn't been back for a while. Once he's dealt with things in the Healing Kingdom, Atasino will come to find Qin Zhou.

"Lota, haven't you grown a lot?"

After returning home, Qin Zhou discovered that Dou Lang's height had increased by nearly two meters; it was previously eight meters tall, and now it was almost ten meters tall.

It's only been a few days, but the food in the culinary world seems to be quite good.

Lota let out a cry. It felt great. After feasting in the Gourmet World, it didn't feel as weak as it had in the Gourmet Arena.

[Ruan Dianmei]: "Qin Zhou, the antimatter legion of the Destruction Faction is approaching the Black Tower's space station. You were right after all."

[Star Forger]: "Ruan Mei, where are you at the Black Tower Space Station now?"

At the beginning of the story, Ruan Mei is nowhere to be seen. Either she is not on the space station, or she feels that there is no need for her to stop the invasion, so she is conducting her own experiments.

Otherwise, how could a Star Core Spirit with even a modicum of human nature remain unmoved?

[Ruan Dianmei]: "Yes, I'm currently conducting experiments in the confinement compartment that the Black Tower assigned to me."

Qin Zhou's lips twitched. The Black Tower gave you this place for experiments, and you're researching and breeding insects there. It's a good thing no staff members go to the confined compartment, otherwise, if they knew there were so many breeding insects down there, they would all carry the space station away overnight.

[Star Forger]: "I'm going to join the fun at your place later."

How could we not torment Old Yang when we went to Star Iron World?

Hehehe, Walter Young.

I'm fucking here!

At this moment, his brain began to work at lightning speed, devising how he would persecute Old Yang.

To quote Otto?

You no longer have a father...

Although Lao Yang hadn't heard of it, he must have felt something about it—it's easy to get hit in the face by a black hole.

That statement is where the bishop's charm lies.

[Ruan Dianmei]: "Okay."

Nguyen Mai accepted that meeting these strange beings from other worlds in person might bring her a lot of inspiration.

[Pink Fairy]: "I want to go too, but the Herrscher hasn't descended yet."

Alicia has been waiting for the appearance of the Third Herrscher, and although the signs are becoming increasingly obvious, the Great Honkai has not yet broken out.

Qin Zhou was a little curious whether Alicia would follow a pure and beautiful path if she were on Star Iron. It was possible that she would choose such a path, given the many wonderful qualities she possessed.

[Star Forger]: "Fufu, do you want to come along?"

The destiny that suits Funina best is one of preservation and protection.

In addition, the Water God, who has been playing the role for five hundred years, might also take a look.

[God of Justice]: "Me?"

[Star Forger]: "That's right, if you come over, you'll have a chance to become stronger by cheating."

[God of Justice]: "Alright, I'll go prepare."

When Funina heard about becoming stronger, the white ahoge on her head twitched.

Although the food Qin Zhou sent made her feel that her physical fitness was improving, it was still not comparable to that of a true god.

It will grant her greater power and help her fulfill her role as a deity.
