How could it be…
It’s so delicious!
Hong Yi widened his eyes in surprise.
Is this the power of a one-star chef?
If it were a two-star, three-star, or even a national treasure-level chef, wouldn’t people eat it and experience hallucinations like those in Cooking Master Boy?
However.
Mito Ikume is already very good at meat dishes.
When it comes to handling high-quality meat ingredients, her skills are not inferior to those of a two-star chef.
“How is it? Do you like it?”
Mito Ikume confidently raised the corners of her lips, but she was still a little nervous, waiting for feedback from her partner.
“Delicious!”
Hong Yi answered with absolute certainty.
“It’s a feast for the eyes, nose, and mouth!”
The meat on the iron plate, originally translucent and white, had turned dark red, with a layer of caramelized brown from roasting, and you could even see the melting rose salt on top.
There were no fancy seasonings.
The simple saltiness perfectly complemented the natural flavor of the Garara Crocodile’s tail meat.
“There’s also black pepper sauce on the side. If you find the flavor a little bland, you can dip it to adjust the taste.” Mito Ikume said happily.
Then.
She turned around and brought out another dish.
Charcoal-grilled Garara Crocodile tail.
Compared to the fat-rich tail meat from the middle section, the part closer to the tip was chewier, and with the crunchy bones, the texture was unique.
Hong Yi ate quickly.
He could be said to have devoured it like a whirlwind, relishing every bite.
Mito Ikume’s serving speed couldn’t keep up with Hong Yi’s eating speed.
After this kind of high-quality ingredient was eaten, the hungry body quickly broke it down and absorbed it, turning it into energy.
It even extracted a trace of life essence, injecting it into the cells.
“Thump, thump! Thump, thump!”
Hong Yi wondered if it was an illusion, but he found that all the tendons in his body seemed to vibrate like bowstrings.
The 60 trillion cells in his body, like a newly injected vitality, started to rapidly metabolize.
Just like that.
The speed of merging the Yujiro Hanma template, which had become extremely slow and somewhat stagnant, became faster again.
【6%…7%…8%…】
Hong Yi was overjoyed.
He didn’t expect that eating delicious food could speed up the merging process of the template.
Mito Ikume naturally noticed Hong Yi’s unusualness.
Hong Yi’s originally thin arms seemed to have become more muscular, with the outline of muscles emerging.
She asked excitedly, “Hong, have your Gourmet Cells activated?”
In the world of Gourmet.
The simplest and most effective way to become stronger is through eating delicious food that is compatible with your own, increasing the activation of Gourmet Cells, thereby greatly enhancing physical strength and power.
Hong Yi smiled and nodded, not answering directly.
Actually.
He had crossed over from Earth, and his body didn’t yet have Gourmet Cells.
Mito Ikume said excitedly, “It means the Garara Crocodile meat is very compatible with your Gourmet Cells.”
“What do you think, Hong, do you want to add Garara Crocodile meat to your Full Course Menu, to be your meat dish?”
The Full Course Menu consists of a total of eight dishes:
Appetizer!
Soup!
Seafood!
Meat Dish!
Main Course!
Salad!
Dessert!
Drink!
For example, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet, Toriko, his Full Course Menu is:
【Appetizer——BB Popcorn——Capture Level 30】
【Soup——Century Soup——Capture Level 60】
【Seafood——Ghost Clam · Memory of the Ancient Ocean——Capture Level ‘Unknown’】
【Meat Dish——End Mammoth——Capture Level 1200】
【Main Course——GOD——Capture Level 10000】
【Salad——AIR——Capture Level 6200】
【Dessert——Rainbow Fruit——Capture Level 12】
【Drink——Billions of Bird Eggs——Capture Level ‘Unknown’】
And the most famous full-course menu is none other than the Blue Star Full Course Menu of the Gourmet God, Acacia:
【Appetizer——CENTER——Capture Level 10000】
【Soup——PAIR——Capture Level 6000】
【Seafood——ANOTHER——Capture Level 7800】
【Meat Dish——NEWS——Capture Level 6900】
【Main Course——GOD——Capture Level 10000】
【Salad——AIR——Capture Level 6200】
【Dessert——EARTH——Capture Level 6100】
【Drink——ATOM——Capture Level 7000】
Of course.
A Gourmet Hunter’s Full Course Menu is not about having higher levels, but rather about what suits you best.
For example, Mansam, he also has Gourmet Cells.
His cells are most compatible with alcoholic ingredients!
Therefore, Mansam’s Full Course Menu consists entirely of alcohol-related dishes.
Mansam is a lover of alcohol, and he can even increase his cell activity and recover from injuries by drinking alcohol, or even pouring it on himself.
Hong Yi only thought for a moment before shaking his head decisively.
He simply thought that Mito Ikume’s dishes were delicious, not to the point of locking Garara Crocodile meat into his Full Course Menu.
The so-called cell activation phenomenon is merely a manifestation of the accelerated merging of the Yujiro Hanma template.
“Meat-魅 Senior, I want to eat more!”
Hong Yi wiped out another plate of food.
He became like a human glutton, able to eat as much meat as he could.
After several plates of food, it was real crocodile meat, at least ten pounds, but Hong Yi’s stomach didn’t show any signs of swelling.
The 60 trillion cells in his body and the 639 muscles, like a parched land, dry sand, were frantically absorbing the delicious food.
The protein, fat, and muscle tissue in the Garara Crocodile meat, all nutrients, were transformed into energy and life essence that Hong Yi’s body needed.
“Good, there are still more dishes!”
Seeing that Hong Yi liked her meat dishes so much, Mito Ikume was overjoyed, and she kept bringing out more dishes.
Garara Crocodile Tail Soup!
Braised Crocodile Meat!
Fried Garara Crocodile Cutlet Curry Rice!
Grilled Crocodile Tail Bone!
In a short while.
The two or three tons of crocodile tail were completely eaten by Hong Yi.
“Whew!”
“Satisfying, it’s so enjoyable to eat meat to your heart’s content.”
“If only it could be paired with sweet cola!”
Hong Yi exhaled and stretched contentedly, his body making cracking sounds, like a cast iron pan stir-frying soybeans.
His stomach, like a bottomless pit, finally bulged slightly, as if to prove that Hong Yi had eaten seven or eight points full.
When he watched Toriko before, the things that impressed Hong Yi the most were Century Soup, Sweet Cola, Jewel Meat, and BB Popcorn.
Now he really crossed over to the world of anime.
He must savor these top-notch delicacies properly!
After eating.
Hong Yi put his arms around Mito Ikume’s wheat-colored skin, the beautiful and sun-kissed waist.
“Eh~”
Mito Ikume’s cheeks flushed, her heart beating faster, and she asked nervously, “Hong… Hong Yi…”
“What are you doing?”
Hong Yi smiled and said, “Meat-魅 Senior, you’ve worked hard, thank you for making me such a delicious meal.”
Mito Ikume let out a chuckle, her green eyes reflecting Hong Yi’s face.
“Don’t mention it, we are partners, after all!”
Hong Yi changed the subject and continued, “But I have another meat ingredient here that I need Meat-魅 Senior to cook.”
