Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Chapter 94 Not a hunter, but a one-star hunter!

Food cells awaken on their own!

Gourmet cells can awaken on their own or be obtained through injection. They come in colors such as red, blue, black, and white to indicate their intensity. Gold cells were never mentioned in the original work, which is probably due to their unique nature.

Although he has to be trained from scratch, fortunately there is no gourmet demon, so he will not be forced to eat a lot of high-quality food. Whether he wants to eat gourmet food or not is up to him.

The next moment, he felt a tremendous change taking place within his body.

A golden seed appeared in his body and quickly spread to every corner of his body. Although it was so small, it emitted unimaginable energy fluctuations.

Wherever the energy reaches, blood flows more vigorously, muscle fibers become denser, and bones become stronger and more solid. This is a strengthening that penetrates deep into the cellular level, directly causing a transformative change.

After a few breaths, Lynn felt the changes in his body subside. Upon closer inspection, he realized that even though only a short while had passed, he had undergone tremendous changes.

His basic physical fitness improved dramatically, and he was filled with inexhaustible strength. At the same time, his energy capacity also increased significantly.

This is just the beginning. As he eats more delicious food, his food cells will be able to give him more feedback.

Gaining the Gourmet Cell means his growth has suddenly leaped to a new level. If before he relied on running on his own two legs, then next he will be able to move forward by riding in a car.

In addition, Gourmet Cells have an extremely important effect—immortality!

With these highly active special cells, as long as one keeps eating delicious food, there is a chance to slow down aging or even live forever.

Immortality is an extremely tempting prospect for humankind, and this has never changed in any world.

He was no exception.

Now that he has the confidence to pursue the strongest, how could he be willing to turn into a skeleton a hundred years later? Human beings' abilities are ultimately limited. Even the once glorious Netero is now old and frail. But having obtained the Gourmet Cell, he truly has the hope of immortality!

As we contemplated the future, it was noon before we knew it.

The contestants have officially begun the second half of the cooking competition!

Suddenly, all sorts of sounds filled the vast square—people chopping vegetables, starting fires—it was quite a sight to behold.

Lynn also released Erina, who cooked with Menchi.

After spending a few days together, Erina and Menchi worked together even better, and they cooked almost every meal together. In the process, both of them felt that they had benefited a lot.

The cooking time is only one hour, and contestants must complete five dishes in one hour: an appetizer, a main course, a soup, a salad, and a dessert.

This time is very tight, so even players who were previously acting alone will often find other players who are also acting alone to form a team during this stage.

Before long, a rich and complex aroma filled the entire square, with a wide variety of scents mixed together in the air.

Among them, the dishes made by Menchi and Erina were undoubtedly the most captivating. The nearby contestants were so engrossed in the aroma that they became dazed and swallowed hard, completely losing their focus on the competition.

White caviar, the core meat of the Mondoru elephant, and jade cabbage—these are all high-quality ingredients.

Generally speaking, ordinary players would find it difficult to obtain even one of these items, but they easily hunted down all the top-quality ingredients.

With these ingredients, as long as your cooking skills aren't too bad, the food you make won't be too bad.

Once it's finished, you can serve it to the judges.

The two women prepared a large quantity of food, not only for the three judges, but also for Lynn, Bisge, and Gail.

As Lynn gazed at the stunning dishes, some even radiating light, his cells stirred with anticipation, his appetite surging.

This meal was top-notch even by the standards of the six continents, and his intuition told him that there would be noticeable changes after eating it.

He enjoyed the dishes one by one, and as the delicious food slid from his mouth to his stomach, his body began to greedily absorb the energy, turning it into wonderful nutrients to fill himself.

Lynn could even clearly feel the changes in his body, his cells were moving rapidly, and his physical fitness was gradually improving.

While Lynn was enjoying the delicious food, on the other side, the food had already been placed in front of the three judges.

Nitero stared at the glowing food and was immediately filled with curiosity.

This was the first time he had ever seen such delicious food.

Gently scoop a spoonful of the white caviar and put it in your mouth. The tender white caviar is like tofu, melting in your mouth with a gentle touch, and the rich milky aroma is accompanied by a refreshing freshness.

Beside Netero was Lin Nie, a short, wrinkled old woman with cloudy eyes that looked like an out-of-focus camera.

She raised an eyebrow, savoring the appetizer with equal surprise.

She knew Menqi's cooking skills; they were top-notch even in the Gourmet Paradise, but they could never reach this level.

It was her partner, the chef Nian Shou Yao —

Then, the three judges all picked up their scoreboards.

All 10 points!

After each dish was eaten, the judges would score it.

0 points is the lowest, and 10 points is the highest.

In other words, a single dish can only get a maximum of 30 points, and theoretically, the highest possible score for the entire set is 150 points.

However, in all the years that the food competition has been held, there has never been a team that has achieved a perfect score.

Menchi was quite pleased with the three people's scores and smiled with satisfaction.

Lynn didn't seem too flustered; after all, top-notch ingredients paired with a top-notch chef made a high score quite reasonable.

Lynn and Menchi's team scored 140 points, far ahead of the others.

After the competition, with the unanimous approval of the three judges, Lynn and Menchi were awarded first place in this culinary competition!

They were awarded championship prizes on the spot, and there were three types of prizes.

Three Grade A ingredients, a membership in the Gourmet Paradise, and the title of a one-star Gourmet Hunter.

Grade A ingredients are extremely rare, let alone three portions given out at once.

Membership at the Gourmet Paradise is also very useful, offering many privileges, such as discounts on food purchases on the island and free hotel stays—to this day, the park only has a few dozen members.

The final one-star Gourmet Hunter title was a reward provided by Netero.

This made Lynn think to himself that he wasn't even a hunter yet, but he had become a one-star gourmet hunter.

According to Netero, it doesn't matter if the contestant isn't a hunter; the title can be retained, and if they become a hunter later, they can directly hold the title of one-star Gourmet Hunter.

The champion's prize was extremely generous, and both Lynn and Menchi were quite satisfied with it.

For Lynn, the real "prize" of this culinary competition wasn't any of these things, but rather the healing fruit plucked from the ancient tree.

An A-rank Gourmet Tree, and a large amount of rare ingredients that cannot be seen in the outside world inside Gengar's belly!
