Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

"Mr. Toriko, you can't eat this piece of meat!" Komatsu quickly stood in front of the meat to block it.

If they're all eaten up, we won't be able to explain ourselves later; the Kayla Crocodile is hard to find.

"This leech also came from the mouth of the giant crocodile Kaira. You can take this back with you; it might be useful." Toriko casually picked up a leech crawling on the ground, still wriggling disgustingly.

"That definitely won't work."

Komatsu stared wide-eyed, shaking his head vigorously. What the hell was this?

If he were to serve this disgusting thing on the dinner table, his career as a chef would be over.

Toriko didn't care about losing a few hundred kilograms, so he continued to lie there, while his stomach returned to its original size at a visible speed.

Xiaosong was stunned. What amazing elasticity! He ate so much and his stomach didn't burst. And the digestion speed was so fast.

"Qin Zhou, the Kayla Crocodile tastes pretty good, doesn't it? Do you want to add it to the menu?" Toriko asked.

"The taste is alright, but the Kayla Crocodile is still too ordinary. You probably wouldn't choose this, would you?" Qin Zhou sat there, eating just as much as Toriko, but his belly didn't bulge out at all.

Eating without this skill allows you to store a lot of energy, which is quite convenient, and you don't have to worry about bursting your stomach.

"Yes, although the Kaera Crocodile tastes good, it's just not quite right. With so many delicious ingredients available, we can't make a decision so hastily." Toriko laughed heartily and sat up.

"That's settled then. The dishes on my menu must be the kind of incredibly delicious ingredients that you won't forget after just one bite," Qin Zhou said.

"For example..."

Atoll became interested, seemingly having guessed Qin Zhou's future goals.

"I have to try the entire menu at Acacia and see if it's as delicious as they say. Beyond Earth, in the vast universe, there are plenty of culinary delights waiting for us." Qin Zhou looked up at the boundless starry sky, filled with anticipation.

The Earth in this world has expanded 659 times in size. Even Acacia might not be able to explore Earth, let alone the vast universe.

Toriko looked up and laughed, "The world beyond Earth is truly ambitious. It does pique my curiosity, though. How delicious must the food be on other planets?"

Qin Zhou smiled. The delicacies in outer space often cost tens of thousands of dollars. Even if the eight kings of the culinary world went out, they would probably have a hard time surviving.

If you want to venture out into the world, the most basic requirement is probably to eat the entire menu of Earth and unlock the power of the Gourmet Cell Demon. Otherwise, you should give up the idea; going out would just be suicide.

Chapter 13 The Disciples of Acacia

Sensing the disappearance of the giant crocodile Kayla's aura, the beasts that had been forced to flee to the outskirts of the archipelago gradually returned to their original territories.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Toriko."

Komatsu's small, brittle body couldn't lift the half-ton meat, so Toriko had to help.

Qin Zhou didn't help, because there was no need for it; it would be better to let Komatsu and Toriko strengthen their bond as best buddies.

Who would have thought that Toriko would marry Sani's sister in the finale? Although it was obvious to everyone that Rin had feelings for Toriko, Rin appeared far too few times.

"What a pity, we can't eat it."

Toriko said with a regretful expression, explaining that his sense of smell was extremely sensitive and developed, which allowed him to smell the unique aroma emanating from the meat of the giant crocodile, Kayla.

"Damn, you can't eat it," Xiaosong said helplessly.

Upon reaching the shore, Tomu waited in a small boat. Last night, after Toriko had enjoyed the giant crocodile Kaira, he had contacted Tomu to come and pick them up today.

"Toriko, I didn't expect you to capture the Kaera Crocodile so quickly. Do you have any spare parts?" Tomu asked.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tomo, everything except what the restaurant needs has been eaten." Komatsu shook his head.

Tomu showed an expression of astonishment; he knew Toriko had an enormous appetite.

"All right……"

"Next time you have good ingredients, don't forget to give me a share!"

The City of Food is a food court with a ten-star hotel and a daily foot traffic of over 2500 million people. It's a sea of ​​people where you have to walk shoulder to shoulder to get around.

Next to a magnificent castle stands a low, dilapidated bungalow, a stark contrast to the building next to it.

But anyone who has been there knows that this seemingly ordinary little house is many times more impressive than the castle next door.

After all, a mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals who dwell there.

The signboard reads "Setsuno Shokudo" and Setsuno, a national treasure of Chinese cuisine, which makes this restaurant quite special.

If you want to eat here, even if you make a reservation now, you'll have to wait ten years without connections. When Setsuna opens her shop depends entirely on her mood.

Warm lights shone through the glass, and an enticing aroma wafted out. Many people gathered outside Setsunori Canteen, their faces showing satisfaction just from smelling the aroma.

The interior decoration is very simple, giving people a warm dining environment.

"Jiro, what brings you here today?"

At this moment, any one of the people sitting in the cafeteria could shake the world.

The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old, with bronze skin. He was wearing a very ordinary plaid shirt, which looked like it was made of very cheap fabric.

He had short, yellow hair and a very peculiar mustache. The mustache was so long that it reached down to his chin and could even move on its own.

He is Yi Long, the president of IGO, the top disciple of Acacia, and one of the strongest fighters on Earth.

The era of gourmet food has officially begun. Yi Long established IGO to integrate the food distribution order of various countries. IGO was initially affiliated with the United Nations.

However, Yi Long took more than a decade to make the IGO independent from the United Nations. His influence and overall strength can be said to dominate this era of food.

Yi Long has taken a series of favorable measures, including establishing the Eight Regulations for Food, setting up a food police force, isolating the food industry, introducing a "capture level" system, establishing a food research institute, and creating a food ID system.

Even without using the power of the Gourmet Demon, Ichiryu is still one of the strongest people on Earth.

He stood at the top, but his diet was very simple, even more ordinary than that of many people.

At this moment, he was eating heartily the delicious food made by Setsunori, and the little old man sitting next to him was his junior brother, the pressure point master Jiro.

Both of them were disciples of Acacia, and each of them was renowned and possessed monstrous strength.

"Yes, Kojiro, you seem very happy."

Having partnered with Jiro for so long, Setsuno could sense it and couldn't help but become curious.

"My disciple Qin Zhou has graduated and has learned almost all of my skills." Jiro grinned, revealing his missing teeth.

Upon hearing this, Setsuno and Ichiryu were both shocked. Jiro's strength was undoubtedly at the top level, and his sealed power had been completely unleashed. There were very few people on Earth who could defeat him.

Especially in the field of acupressure, Jiro can be said to be at the very top.

Even if one can't reach Jiro's current level of strength by learning all of his skills, one would still be an extremely amazing genius.

Yi Long suddenly realized why he had been called over; it turned out he was here to show off. He couldn't help but laugh, but he wasn't jealous at all. Apart from his current bitter feud with San Hu, the relationship between the group of them was quite good.

Ichiryu didn't teach the Four Heavenly Kings much of his own skills. He didn't want Toriko and the others to become the next Ichiryu, as that would be a loss.

Also, there are some skills he has that Toriko and the others can't learn right now, the difficulty level is too high, such as the Minority Barrier.

Jiro's pressure point techniques and other powerful moves are also difficult to learn. He was quite curious about Jiro, this disciple, and wondered what kind of genius he was.

"Congratulations, Kojiro." Setsuno was happy for Kojiro.

She and Jiro's grandson, Teppei, were originally learning well from Jiro, but later he went to learn the craft of the Rebirth Family, which infuriated Jiro. Even she was very angry and never gave Teppei a kind look whenever she saw him.

Setsuno is genuinely happy that someone has inherited Jiro's skills.

"Jiro, when did you take on a disciple? I've never heard of you before," Ichiryu asked curiously.

"Kichi, let alone you, even I, his partner, have never heard Kojiro mention this before," Setsuno said with a smile.

Kojiro's disciple, she was quite curious about this little guy Qin Zhou. How could he receive such praise from Kojiro? She wondered when she would be able to meet him; she was really looking forward to it.

“It was about three years ago. For the past three years, I’ve spent most of my time teaching Kozue and haven’t told you,” Jiro said.

Setsuna suddenly realized why Jiro had returned less often in recent years; he had been instructing his disciples.

"It seems you're quite satisfied with this little guy named Qin Zhou," Yi Long said.

"Xiaozhou will definitely surpass me." Jiro nodded and said with satisfaction.

"It won't be long before you hear Xiao Zhou's name."

He was very confident in his disciple, Qin Zhou, who, with his current strength, would soon make a name for himself.

Chapter 14 Partners

Yi Long is really looking forward to meeting Qin Zhou, this little genius. If Toriko and the others meet him, they'll probably feel a sense of crisis. That's good, though.

Having mastered all of Jiro's skills, Qin Zhou can no longer be defined as an ordinary gourmet; he's probably better than many old guys.

I'll find an opportunity to ask later whether or not to join Habitat 0.

"Kojiro, does Kofune have a partner now?" Setsuno asked.

She is Jiro's partner, while Ichiryu's partner is Red Netero. The gourmet is responsible for catching ingredients, while the chef is responsible for cooking them to make them even more delicious. They complement each other and have a clear division of labor.

Qin Zhou is Jiro's disciple, so he has to call her Master's Wife. Naturally, she treats her as a junior and will definitely show her concern.

“No, he’s never been in contact with the outside world before, so where would he get a partner?” Jiro shook his head.

It's been less than six months, so it's impossible to find a suitable partner so quickly.

A good partner isn't something you can just find whenever you want; it's only when fate brings you together.

“Speaking of partners, I have a promising junior here. Let these youngsters meet him sometime,” Yi Long said with a smile.

He wasn't worried about Qin Zhou's future stance at all, since he was Jiro's disciple and belonged to their lineage, and perhaps they could even fight together one day.

"Since you've made the arrangements, Xiao Yi, then I won't interfere," Jie Nai said with a smile. She had even considered arranging for her disciple to be Qin Zhou's partner.

However, since Yi Long spoke first, she decided not to try and take it from him.

"Just do what you think is best. By the way, that little cat's gourmet feast has been getting a bit restless lately," Jiro said casually, having seen it many times.

Upon hearing this, Setsuno and Ichiryu both fell silent, lost in thought. It seemed that their past relationship was gone forever, and now they could only reminisce. They wondered if they would ever have the chance to share a meal together again.

If I were to run into the Three Tigers now, we'd probably start a fight after exchanging a few words.

"The arrival of the Gourmet World Eclipse is just around the corner, and the Gourmet World will definitely take some action," Yi Long remarked.

"This era belongs to the young people, let's give them a chance to shine," Jiro said with a smile, looking forward to his disciple's performance.

These old guys are incredibly powerful, but that's also an advantage of time; they've all lived for hundreds of years.

Is it too late?
