Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

With a flick of the finger, the sound was a good start.

Red Netero remained completely still, unable to move even a finger. His strength upon awakening was truly weak, roughly equivalent to level 80 or 90 in terms of capture level.

"Thanks to nature's bounty, Nitero, capture complete."

"Atasino, just grill it and eat it."

Atacino nodded, set up the barbecue grill, plucked the feathers and gutted the animals, all in one smooth motion, quick and stylish.

This Netero is indeed weak; it has been starving for too long and has only just awakened, so it doesn't possess any great strength.

As the flames blazed, an aroma wafted from the sizzling, oily Nitro meat—an aroma that could awaken any gourmand.

"I'm starting to eat."

After taking a bite, Qin Zhou was somewhat disappointed. The taste wasn't bad, but it was similar to chicken, and the meat was rather tough, probably because it had too much muscle.

As the Nitro meat slid down into my stomach, a massive surge of energy erupted, like a long-accumulated volcano, with every food cell greedily absorbing the energy.

Qin Zhou's well-proportioned body had transformed into a small giant, brimming with inexhaustible power.

The effects of Nitroglycerin are surprisingly good.

"What enormous energy!"

If Toriko were to eat this now, the terrifying torma would make him feel extremely uncomfortable; most gourmets wouldn't be able to handle it.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Qin Zhou clenched his fist. After eating this Netero, his strength would be roughly equivalent to a capture level of 2500, an increase of more than 200 levels this time.

The first time you take it, the effect is naturally the best. Even if you eat Niterol meat afterwards, the improvement won't be as significant.

If they encounter a pair again, even without Jiro and the others, Qin Zhou can still have a thoroughly enjoyable battle after applying the buffs.

With the amplification boost, a full-scale attack on the small, broken ball would shake the entire Earth.

However, compared to monsters like Jiro and Hachio, there is still a gap.

"Incredible, Netero's flesh can enhance me so much." Atasino's aura also became much stronger.

Among the staff of Habitat 0, she is now almost at the top of the list.

“Of course, Netero is a demon born from gourmet cells. The purity of the gourmet cells in his body is very high. If an ordinary person were to take a bite, nine times out of ten they would be instantly killed by the backlash,” Qin Zhou said.

"Even people with gourmet cells in their bodies will not be able to withstand that terrifying energy because they are not strong enough."

His master, Jiro, must have consumed countless amounts of Nitro; if one could withstand it, it could indeed grant unimaginable enhancements.

However, Jiro was quite amazing when he was a child, as he could digest Netero's energy.

"I see."

Atasino looked enlightened; not many people knew about this.

"By the way, Atacino, what does your Gourmet Cell Demon look like?" Qin Zhou asked curiously.

"Uh... well, how should I put it, my Gourmet Cell Demon hasn't appeared yet," Atacino said awkwardly.

She has a knack for food, but the knack for food remains unresponsive, as if it hasn't encountered any ingredients that can tempt it.

"Chairman Yi Long once said that my culinary skills are quite extraordinary."

Qin Zhou pondered that this situation indicated that Atacino's gourmet cells were of a high level, either blue or black. He would probably only know for sure after trying the entire menu at Acacia.

My partner is quite extraordinary.

After being sprinkled with Melker stardust, the Nitero meat tasted even better. Perhaps it's because Nitero meat is quite special that the flavor of the seasonings and spices didn't mask the Nitero's own flavor.

Chapter 111 Fixed NPCs of the Winelord Islands

The bald-headed director, Mansam, came to our door.

"Hey, Atasino, long time no see, you've gotten stronger," Mansam said with a smile.

"Director Mansam, there is still a gap between my strength and yours," Atasino said modestly.

Very few people on Earth have ever tasted the entire Acacia menu, so powerful individuals have accumulated their strength through time and talent, and the Gourmet Demon's body has not become part of its host.

"What? You're saying I'm handsome?" Mansam asked with a look of surprise.

Atacino's lips twitched. It was still the familiar Director Mansam, the same familiar taste.

"Director Mansam, what brings you here?" Qin Zhou asked.

People don't visit unless they have a reason, so it's unlikely that this busy person would come to see them; it's probably not just a casual visit.

"Haha, I heard you guys got a classic book at the Food Pyramid..." Mansam rubbed his bald head.

"The director found out quickly. Is a picture acceptable?"

“Of course, that’s very valuable for research.” Mansam nodded.

"I'll send it to you later. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes, Chairman Yilong asked me to pass on a message to you. Toriko and the others are currently capturing ingredients for their training. You don't need to help them. This is a necessary training process for them before entering the world of gastronomy."

"No problem, Atacino and I will be going to the culinary world afterward."

Qin Zhou understood Yi Long's intention: if the human realm didn't grow stronger during this period, they would be completely overwhelmed when they entered the culinary world.

He and Atacino were aiming to enter the culinary world, as most ingredients from the human realm no longer offered them much of an improvement.

When resting in the human realm, you can occasionally go and capture some.

"OK, I'm going now."

Mansam nodded and swaggered away.

The islands, large and small, are shaped like wine glasses or bottles.

The sea area surrounding the archipelago is known as the Wine Sea, formed by wines such as red wine, whiskey, and beer, and is clearly defined.

It can be described as a paradise for alcoholics, but those under the age of twenty are prohibited from entering.

"The air smells of fine wine."

Qin Zhou twitched his nose. If he stayed here for too long, he would be pickled in the smell of the wine.

I've wanted to come here for a long time, and this time I finally had the chance.

"Yes, this place is indeed a paradise for drunkards, but even drunkards will die here if they drink too much," Shi Meng said with a smile.

If he weren't so busy, he really would like to come here and experience the feeling of living a life of hedonism.

"Thanks, Shi Meng."

"Haha, you're too kind. You always take such good care of my business, and my wife has become much gentler with you," Shi Meng said with a smile.

Qin Zhou provided some highly sought-after delicacies, and his business grew bigger and bigger. His status in the family rose sharply, and he had to kneel on the keyboard much less often.

"I'm leaving now. Have a good drink. If you need anything, just contact me."

Shi Meng drove the speedboat away.

"The Wine Islands, the Wine Chaos Islands, what a chaotic sight!" Atacino sighed, rubbing his head in exasperation.

Everywhere she looked, there were wild beasts that were drunk and running amok, just like she had heard. She wasn't an alcoholic, and she had never been to the Winelord Islands before.

"Not all of it is alcohol... crunch... crispy potato chips, they taste pretty good." Qin Zhou casually picked a few chips.

"A small boat?!"

A young man with a black pompadour walked over, and Qin Zhou was slightly taken aback.

Didn't his master go into the culinary world?

"Master, didn't you and your wife go on a culinary tour?"

For most gourmets, the culinary world is a dangerous place, but for Jiro, it's a place to visit family.

“I came back ten days ago. After seeing my father who raised me, I went to a few places I had visited before.”

The wolf king was overjoyed to see him return and immediately grabbed some snacks (Netero) for Jiro to enjoy.

Qin Zhou remained silent. As expected of an NPC that spawns daily on the Wine Hero Islands.

"Oh, right, here you go, this is healing water, you should be able to use it later."

Jiro took out a bottle containing about 200ml of clear liquid.

With his abilities, obtaining the healing water wouldn't be too difficult for him.

This special liquid has a strong restorative effect; it can even restore severed arms and legs.

Jiro lost an arm while fighting off the monsters that split from NEO, but after Setsuno poured healing water on him, his hand injury was easily healed.

However, it works better for people with a "foodie gene," but it can still be used by people without one.

To obtain the healing water, one must confront a powerful guardian, but it is probably not one of the Eight Kings' Dragon Kings, but rather one of the same kind. Otherwise, the Three Tigers, whose strength had not yet grown back then, would not have been able to survive.

Even if the Dragon King Dilous were guarding it, Jiro would still dare to openly take away the healing water.

The Dragon King's single-target attacks are indeed strong, but Jiro cannot be measured by common sense.

"Thank you, Master."

Qin Zhou carefully put it away; this is a valuable item.

"Hiccup, I'm off now." Jiro waved and left the Sake Island, completing his daily check-in.

"How carefree!"

Atasino remarked that Jiro's retirement life seemed quite good.

"With Master's strength, he can capture any food on Earth, except for those he can't find."

[Star Forger]: "Those who want to drink, come over. Those under eighteen years old, sit at the children's table."

In Japan, it seems that people under the age of twenty are prohibited from drinking alcohol, unless they secretly drink without being caught.

[God's Tongue]: "Then send me some fine wine, for my grandfather and the others."

[Sister Cabbage]: "I won't go if it's for alcohol."

[Gudako]: "I'm still a year too young, how can I not do this?"

[Galaxy Baseball Man]: "Damn it, you're a year younger, and I'm not even a year old yet."
