Chapter 1581 Gourmet Creatures
While Herbie was seriously discussing countermeasures with the head of the Gourmet Research Association, Blazer was looking at a map.

As soon as the earth-shaking was completed, the six worlds were all opened and appeared before the eyes of the world. Strangers have endless motivation to explore the unknown, but this exploration also has a sequence.

The food continent was the first to be explored by foreigners.

The reason is simple. A super-large group battle against the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which has gathered hundreds of millions of foreigners, is taking place in World D. The scene in which the Golden Princess transforms Adam's flesh and blood into a continent of delicious food appears in the eyes of these foreigners at the same time.

The first large unknown area that appeared in the eyes of strangers - the Gourmet Continent will naturally become the first object of exploration. In addition, the exploration difficulty of the Gourmet Continent is not as difficult as the giant volcano, giant ice field, and ocean world, and the scenery is richer than the vertical abyss and the falling abyss, so the Gourmet Continent has a fairly complete map after the exploration of strangers.

However, the map updates very quickly.

When an unknown area appears, there will be a commission to explore the area and make a map. Generally, this commission will only appear once, and the terrain will not change frequently.

But the terrain of the food continent changes frequently.

At the beginning, it was just five types of terrain: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and it could not be called a gourmet continent. But as foreigners explored this place, changes began to occur.

It is said that the first mutation occurred when a stranger built a fire and took out a wild boar thigh meat to roast on the fire. To be honest, it was not a strange thing, and strangers often did this.

So, when the rumor about the roasted pork leg coming to life and instantly killing the unsuspecting strangers appeared, almost everyone treated it as a funny story.

This was such a fantasy, but soon there were more and more rumors like this, and this fantasy that seemed like a joke turned out to be true.

The roasted pork leg really came to life, or to be more precise, the roasted pork leg turned into a monster, and thus the first monster in the gourmet continent appeared.

【Grilled Giant Hoof LV50】

[A monster transformed from a delicious roasted pig's trotter, with super developed muscles and wrapped in flames. If you break its crispy shell, the grease that splashes out will kill you! ]

The principle of how food turns into monsters is still unknown. We can only speculate that the earth itself, which was transformed from Adam's flesh and blood, has this ability.

Although this seems like a very playful and random setting, it is surprisingly rigorous except for the part where the food turns into monsters.

For example, the level of a gourmet monster is determined by the deliciousness of the food before transformation. The more delicious the food, the stronger the gourmet monster transformed from it, and vice versa.

Take the roasted giant hoof made from roasted wild boar thigh as an example. If it is roasted just right, the roasted giant hoof will be full of explosive fat and full of vitality. If it is not roasted well, the defects will be reflected in the transformed monster.

For example, if the meat is cooked for too long, the fat of the barbecue giant hoof will decrease and its mobility will decrease. The food monsters will instinctively look for ways to increase their strength, that is, to upgrade their seasoning, which is very interesting.

Because for a period of time, foreigners have been constantly trying to figure out what kind of food can be transformed into food monsters, so the ecology of the Food Continent has become quite rich, and all kinds of food monsters have flooded the Food Continent.

Of course, the strangers knew not to overdo it, and the food monsters that were created by their attempts were all defeated on the spot. However, under the stimulation of the food monsters induced by the strangers, this food continent has begun to naturally evolve original food monsters at a super-fast speed.

This is the speed of ecological chain development comparable to that of a behemoth monster with the [Whale Fall] skill, but it is surprisingly acceptable. After all, the Food Continent is like a huge pot, and the food monster ecology in its hands is the dish. How much time does it take to cook a dish?

In short, because the speed of change in the Food Continent is as fast as cooking, the environment often changes drastically, and the map needs to be updated and redrawn basically once a week.

In less than half a year, the species richness of the Gourmet Continent is no less than that of any other region. After Blazer flipped through the Gourmet Monster Encyclopedia for a while, his stomach made a series of growls. There was no way, this was more like a recipe than an encyclopedia. The monsters in it looked like moving dishes, and they were extremely delicious.

If there wasn't a crisis of saltiness in the food continent right now, Blaze would really run out immediately for a round of tasting, no, hunting.

Blaze touched the back of his head and sighed unconsciously for hunger. As soon as he looked up, he found that everyone around him was looking at him.

Herbie patted his belly helplessly, indicating the reason.

That stomach growl was really loud.

"Ahem." Blaze's face turned red, and he turned his head away and coughed awkwardly, "Um, have you thought of a solution?"

"Come with me first. You can't come up with any good ideas on an empty stomach."

Herbie clapped his hands and announced that the meeting was over. The content just now was enough to be organized into a report to propose a project investment to the senior partners of [Hermes' Traveling Hat]. The details needed to be discussed by multiple parties.

As the president of the Gourmet Studies Association, Tammy took the initiative to show them where they could eat.

What surprised Blazer was that this was clearly the Gourmet Research Association, but after half a day, he did not see any kitchen utensils, and there seemed to be no one with chef skills.

He asked the question doubtfully.

“Is it really okay for the Gourmet Research Association to not have a chef?”

Tammy paused, turned her head and shook her fingers.

"Haven't you heard the saying? High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking, which means cutting the ingredients without losing their delicious taste."

"I think there is a saying about this, but it seems to be different from not having a chef."

"That's true, but..." Tammy turned around and opened her arms calmly and as a matter of course, "We are the Food Research Association, not the Chefs Association. We only study what tastes good, not how to make it delicious."

Herbie crossed his arms and looked stern.

"Now you know why I rejected her."

"I see." Blaze patted his head.

He recalled some jokes from his childhood, such as wanting to be a gourmet when he grows up, because gourmets not only don’t have to pay for their meals, they can also charge for them.

This is more of a glutton association than a food research association.
