Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group.

Daigo isn't a debt-ridden superhero like Orb or Zeta, who can borrow power from other Ultramen to transform into new forms.

However, Tiga has many skills, making him much more versatile than Daigo's Happy Type.

If he goes to Ultraman Tiga's world in the future, he can use the jeep with malfunctioning brakes to give Daigo a special training session.

This is the legacy of the Warriors of Light.

[Dead Pilot]: "I understand, Mr. Qin Zhou."

What could Daigo do? No matter how wronged he felt, he could only endure it and keep moving forward.

He felt something stirring within him, as if something was awakening.

Chapter 48 Warming the Pot

"Master, my house is finished. Do you have time to come over soon?" Qin Zhou called Jiro.

He doesn't know many people, so he invites all the ones he does know over for a warm-up dinner.

"Any day is fine with me, I'll bring Kosuke along." Jiro's drunken voice rang out.

"Then the day after tomorrow." Qin Zhou thought for a moment and decided to make preparations tomorrow.

Jiro laughed and said okay, then hung up the phone. Without a doubt, he was going to continue drinking.

Qin Zhou contacted Alu and the others again. They were all available that day and assured him they would come.

As long as there are enough ingredients for the hospitality, that's fine.

On the day of the potluck, Toriko, the neighbor, was the first to arrive, bringing a red-haired pig as a gift.

"It's not bad, but it doesn't look edible." Toriko was disappointed, feeling that it was still not as good as his candy shop, and it wasn't delicious at all.

"Hakiru, you rascal, the candy house was gone in no time, and after you left home for a while, it was all eaten up by other creatures." Qin Zhou complained speechlessly.

Coco's house, though located in a somewhat unusual location, is made of durable materials.

Toriko's house, though I've never seen it, is built entirely from food ingredients, so its durability is definitely insufficient.

"But what the hell is Hagiru?"

Toriko smiled. To each their own. He loves to eat, so his house should be delicious so he can enjoy desserts anytime, anywhere.

Next time, Smail can build him a candy castle. His previous house wasn't enough for him to eat, and he ate it all without restraint.

Given Toriko's appetite, even if he built a food tower, it wouldn't take long for it to be completely devoured.

"Hello, Mr. Qin Zhou."

Komatsu waved his arms, with Mansam, Coco, Rin, Tina, Sani, and Tomu by his side.

Qin Zhou's dealings with Shi Meng were basically limited to food transactions. Although he had known Shi Meng longer than Aluyi, they had a very good relationship.

A large part of the reason for this is because of Mrs. Tomu.

Qin Zhou often brought various ingredients to Shi Meng for trade, all of which were rare and hard-to-catch ingredients. As a result, Shi Meng's wife was much gentler towards Shi Meng.

Toriko does indeed deliver ingredients, but because he's a glutton, he often ends up eating the captured ingredients on the way.

Therefore, for a generous and generous customer like Qin Zhou, Shi Meng's wife advised Shi Meng to befriend Qin Zhou, so that there would be no shortage of rare ingredients in the future.

“Nice style,” Sani remarked appreciatively.

"It must have been built by that genius culinary architect, Smail."

Sani also knew that the Food Tower, the iconic building of the food city, was designed by Smail.

If he and Toriko are geniuses in the field of gourmets, then Smail is a genius in the field of gourmet architecture.

"I remember this is near Toriko's house, right? You two became neighbors?"

"Yes." Qin Zhou nodded.

"Xiao Zhou, we're here."

An old man and an old woman walked slowly along the path. They looked like ordinary old folks, but in fact, they were legendary big shots.

The old man is his master, the pressure point master Jiro, and the old woman is his master's wife Setsunori, a gourmet national treasure.

She was hunched over, dressed in pink, and exuded a girlish charm.

His hairstyle was like a disc, and his slightly aged face looked kind and approachable.

Despite her slender physique, the energy within her is terrifying.

Apart from Jiro, everyone else present combined probably couldn't match Setsuno's energy reserves. Given her age and the fact that she hadn't engaged in any battles over the years, the energy she had accumulated through eating was an astronomical figure.

During the cooking festival, both Setsuno and Chiyo were consumed by Hikaru's energy. Setsuno was fine, but Chiyo was immediately knocked down. The difference was obvious.

Hikaru can consume at least 1000 million calories in one go. In the era of the food pyramid, even Zebra, the most calorie-dense of the Four Heavenly Kings, only had 450 million calories, while Toriko had 300 million calories.

This means that Mitsuyoshi could have drained Toriko and Zebula of that era with just one move.

"This must be my master's wife. My name is Qin Zhou." Qin Zhou went to greet her.

"Wow, what a handsome young man!" Setsuna looked at Qin Zhou with satisfaction, very pleased with Kojiro's disciple.

Kojiro has taken on a good apprentice.

Qin Zhou smiled and nodded. Fortunately, he didn't have to get a hairstyle like Jiro's. You know, when Toriko went to Setsunori's cafeteria, he had to get a pompadour, otherwise they wouldn't let him in.

"Grandma...?!"

Toriko exclaimed in surprise, he hadn't expected to encounter this big shot here.

He had made a reservation four years ago to dine at Setsunori Shokudo, and his appointment was almost here.

Many people have appointments booked up to ten years in advance, and they don't even know if they'll live to see that day.

“It’s Toriko.” Setsunori looked at Toriko and the others.

Coco and Sani nodded respectfully. The old man must be Jiro, the pressure point master. It was the first time they had ever met the mysterious Jiro.

"Oh my god, this is a really important person!" Shi Meng took off her sunglasses, her face showing a look of shock.

He had tried to make reservations at the festival canteen, but he couldn't get a reservation at all. Even presidents of many countries have to make reservations honestly; special privileges are completely useless.

Tina's instinct kicked in, and she was already recording with her camera. Such a big event was a rare opportunity.

"Hehe, no need to be nervous, we're just here for a meal." Jiro didn't put on any airs.

"Oh, it's Wolf Fighting! What a coincidence."

When Jiro saw Lota, his eyes widened and he exclaimed with emotion.

He was raised by the wolf king Ginness, never expecting that his apprentice would also take in a fighting wolf as family.

Setsuna nodded slowly. She had met the wolf king Ginnes before; he was a member of Kojiro's family.

Lota looked at Jiro, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes. She sensed a similar aura about this human.

"Xiao Song, thank you for your trouble. You can use any of the ingredients you like," Qin Zhou said.

"Phew...good..."

Komatsu already had large nostrils, but they widened even more due to her nervousness, and her eyes bulged out.

Everyone else is fine, but that's Setsuna. If she's too casual, she might embarrass herself.

"Don't be nervous, just do it simply." Setsuna shook her head.

In her opinion, Komatsu is a chef with great potential, and the future belongs to these young people.

Several people sat around a large table: three of the Four Heavenly Kings and two legendary figures.

Xiaosong didn't make it too complicated, and the ingredients she used were all low-level catches like piano lobster, cheese rabbit, and pork belly tofu.

Everyone was enjoying the meal. Qin Zhou glanced at Toriko; the guy had just been staring at his furniture.

Thankfully, it wasn't all built with food ingredients, otherwise Toriko would have taken a few bites.

Setsunori tasted it and was very impressed with Komatsu's cooking skills.

In this era of gourmet food, there are many naturally delicious ingredients that are delicious without cooking. The higher the quality of the ingredients, the more delicious they are. The fact that Komatsu can cook this level of food with simple ingredients is enough to demonstrate his skill.

"Xiaozhou, when do you plan to enter the culinary world?" Setsuno asked with a smile.

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.
