【Someone once said, they don't know what kind of plant could grow things like pork chop rice, fried shrimp rice, beef rice, and many other steaming covered rice dishes, it's a natural bento for survival in the wild.】
This isn't boasting.
Hong Yi really encountered it.
He raised his wrist, and a beam of laser shot out, scanning the coconut fruit hanging from the coconut tree branch, bigger than a basketball.
【Covered Rice Coconut Tree】
【Capture Level: Below Level 1】
Hong Yi unleashed a rapid-fire punch, striking the trunk of the coconut tree.
“Bang”
The still coconut tree suddenly trembled.
A sharp, vast force immediately passed along the trunk, striking the branch head, and hitting the coconut from a distance, making the basketball-sized coconut fruit fall from a height of twelve or thirteen meters, like dumplings going into boiling water.
In an instant.
The seven or eight fruits that this coconut tree bore, all fell down and were caught by Hong Yi.
Hong Yi raised his palm into a blade, and gently cut it on the solid, iron-like, green coconut shell.
A “crack” sound.
The round coconut immediately split in half, revealing the steaming chicken curry rice inside.
Inside the coconut shell, there was no coconut juice, but instead, there was a thick, stewed curry broth, mixed with potatoes, carrots, and chicken cubes, covering the white, steaming, full-grained rice.
“It's really absurd that the tree bears covered rice fruits.”
“But this seems to be a variety cultivated by the IGO.”
Hong Yi shook his head and ate it with gusto.
It must be said.
It actually tastes pretty good.
And the covered rice coconut tree has strong survival ability, maybe the IGO artificially cultivated it just so that Gourmet Hunters could have something to eat in the dangerous wilderness.
Old Master Yi Long is really righteous.
“One bowl of covered rice can only provide 1000 kcal of energy.”
“My body can now store about 300,000 kcal of energy, I need to eat 300 covered rice coconuts.”
“It turns out that ingredients with such a low capture level have really low energy content.”
Hong Yi shook his head, gave up eating the covered rice coconuts, and continued to go deeper into the Ninth Habitat Garden.
The drone in the sky stretched its lens a few times.
It broadcasted Hong Yi's “capture” of the covered rice coconut, live.
Outside the Ninth Habitat Garden.
Many teachers and students from Totsuki Culinary Academy were watching the giant screen.
The lackeys of Ryousui Tsukuda started laughing: “Hahaha, covered rice coconut with a capture level below 1.”
“Hey hey hey, he wouldn't want to use this to win the Shokugeki, would he?”
Erina Nakiri's face was slightly cold, she hugged her arms, and snorted arrogantly: “Are the students of Ryousui Tsukuda all idiots?”
“The covered rice coconut has a capture level below 1, and Hong Yi successfully captured a Level 5 Garra Crocodile during the entrance exam, do you think he would win with the covered rice coconut?”
“You!!”
The lackeys were choked speechless.
The other party was the tenth seat of the Totsuki Ten, the granddaughter of the Totsuki headmaster, the Demon King of Cuisine, they didn't dare to refute anything.
The other half of the giant screen was broadcasting Ryousui Tsukuda's capture scene.
Ryousui Tsukuda, who excels at acupoint anesthesia, put down the heavy silver metal cabinet, and holding a point-stimulating device similar to an electric baton, poked a giant bear with brown fur all over its body, tall and sturdy, with a single horn on its head, instantly anesthetizing it.
“Good, as expected of the boss, easily captured a one-horned bear!”
The secretary, Hisako Shinohara, couldn't stand it anymore, and mocked: “A one-horned bear is only Capture Level 2, what's there to be happy about?”
“Oh…”
“It's only Capture Level 2.”
Seeing this, Erina Nakiri frowned slightly, and the color on her face gradually darkened.
The secretary asked: “Young Mistress, what's wrong?”
Erina Nakiri replied: “The Capture Level 11 one-horned gray bear lives in this forest.”
“It seems Ryousui Tsukuda is going straight for the one-horned gray bear.”
“Ah?”
Hisako Shinohara said in surprise: “Isn't the one-horned gray bear the ingredient with the highest capture level in the Ninth Habitat Garden?”
“If Ryousui Tsukuda captures the one-horned gray bear, wouldn't it mean that Hong Yi-kun will lose?”
Erina Nakiri shook her head.
She told Hong Yi about the Rainbow Fruit.
The Rainbow Fruit's capture level is 12.
As long as he could find the Rainbow Fruit, Hong Yi would win.
But!
Erina Nakiri didn't know the exact location of the Rainbow Fruit in the Ninth Habitat Garden either.
According to the description of the Rainbow Fruit in the book, its fruit would emit a fragrant aroma when it matures, which would form a magnificent rainbow in the air.
However.
Just now, through the drone's filming, Erina Nakiri saw a hint of a rainbow in the sky above the forest.
“It wouldn't be so coincidental, would it? The Rainbow Fruit is in the forest.”
Erina Nakiri thought uneasily.
…
At the same time.
Hong Yi also reached the forest.
He walked and ate.
With the ingredient guide watch that Erina Nakiri gave him, he doesn't have to be afraid of being poisoned.
【Chocolate Mushroom】
【Capture Level: 8】
Hong Yi's eyes widened in surprise.
“Such a small mushroom, its capture level is higher than the Garra Crocodile?”
“And one costs 50,000 yen?”
He looked at the information displayed on the watch and was very surprised.
But the information also explained that because the chocolate mushroom has harsh growth conditions, it can only grow in the depths of the forest.
It belongs to the category of rare mushrooms.
In the depths of the forest, there are powerful ferocious beasts.
Moreover, chocolate mushrooms are good at mimicry and are difficult to distinguish from branches and trunks in the forest.
But it's no problem for Hong Yi's eyesight.
The eyesight of ordinary people is generally between 1.0 and 1.5.
2.0 eyesight is already very good.
You can see a hair from a hundred meters away!
Hong Yi, who has integrated the template of Yujiro Hanma, has an incredible eyesight of 6.0.
In nature, the animals that can reach this level of eyesight are the eagles and falcons.
A golden eagle can see a wild rabbit that is only 45.72 centimeters long from 3.22 kilometers away!
And a peregrine falcon can spot a pigeon from 8.05 kilometers away.
So.
The moment he entered the Ninth Habitat Garden, Hong Yi spotted the drone in the sky, and through other drones, he locked onto Ryousui Tsukuda's position!
This is why Hong Yi seemingly coincidentally came to this forest.
“I wonder what Capture Level 8 ingredients taste like.”
Hong Yi picked a chocolate mushroom from the trunk and popped it into his mouth.
The cap was covered with pure chocolate sauce, and the moment it entered his mouth, the rich and mellow chocolate aroma, as well as the just-right cocoa bitterness, instantly burst on his taste buds.
Plus the fresh taste of wild mushrooms.
It gave Hong Yi a wonderful taste experience.
“The cap is fluffy and soft, like a cotton ball, and the stem has a crispy texture like a biscuit, it's really strange.” Hong Yi exclaimed.
“Hong-kun, that's a chocolate mushroom, it's the perfect choice for making high-end desserts!”
“You should pick it back and let me make it into a dessert!”
Momo Akizuki watched the live broadcast on the giant screen and bit the ears of her plush bear in distress.
She wished she could rush into the Ninth Habitat Garden, pick all the chocolate mushrooms and use them to make delicious desserts.
Erina Nakiri smiled and said: “Even eating chocolate mushrooms raw is an ultimate deliciousness, maybe that's why Hong-kun chose to eat it directly.”
“And don't underestimate the size of the chocolate mushroom, it's a real calorie bomb.”
“One chocolate mushroom can quickly replenish 10,000 kcal of energy!”
Erina Nakiri has a strong feeling.
Hong Yi is replenishing his energy, for a big battle with Ryousui Tsukuda!
