Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group.

"My legs are numb, can I get up?"

Qin Zhou stood up, and Alicia rubbed her thigh.

[Galaxy Baseball Man]: "Godfather, Godfather, I have a question for you."

The eldest daughter spoke up in the group chat.

[Star Forger]: "What is it?"

[Galaxy Baseball Man]: "Qiong and I joined the Star Train. That Uncle Yang with glasses keeps staring at my little brother with such a strange expression, as if he wants to say something but doesn't. Godfather, do you know what's going on?"

Qin Zhou smiled, "I know all too well."

Walter's PTSD flared up.

There was a Himeko and a Sora on the train.

Walter's pioneering journey always felt like home.

Before he could even explain, people started speculating.

【ShitBigKick】: "Does he like men (!?!)?"

[God's Tongue]: "I feel like I've seen this situation somewhere before."

Indeed, there are some. The performances of some of the male characters in Food Wars make one wonder, for example, the scene between Gin Dojima and Soma Yukihira in the bathhouse.

[Dead Pilot]: "Is it like Madara and Hashirama?"

Daigo has gone astray. Give me back my honest Daigo.

【Ninja World Dance King】: "Urusai, I've already said it, Hasirama and I aren't that kind of relationship (?皿?)."

Madara, what's the explanation for that face on your chest?

[Ruan Dianmei]: "In the world, there are also same-sex couples who use technology and other means to have their own offspring."

【Star Forger】: "Ahem, not a buddy, Old Yang is just reminiscing about a past he can never return to."

Qin Zhou was speechless; Old Yang's reputation was about to be ruined.

Instead of randomly pairing people up, you might as well ship Yang and Otto.

Galaxy Baseball Man: "I see."

Xing probably understood, as if he did.

[Monkey D. Kizaru]: "I really envy you nameless people, you don't have to work, you can travel around and witness everything."

Upon hearing what Kizaru said, Qin Zhou suddenly remembered that Sunday Brother had promoted the seven-day weekend to the Nameless Guest, which meant he had misunderstood the target audience.

Aside from pioneering work, Wumingke doesn't work 996, doesn't work 12-hour shifts, and doesn't have weekends off.

[Star Forger]: "Kizaru, are you sure you're tired?"

I see you're already living a leisurely life of drinking tea and waiting for retirement.

[Monkey D. Kizaru]: "Yeah, not only do I have to clock in for work, but I also have to catch some pirates from time to time."

The three generals, unless it's a situation like the Marineford War, don't all need to be stationed at headquarters; they will go out from time to time.

However, it is said that Kizaru, the actor who plays the monkey, is paid according to the amount of effort he puts in.

In the future, after the Marineford War ends, Akainu is covered in blood, Aokiji has suffered minor injuries, and his clothes are slightly dirty.

Salary in place...

When his consciousness returned to reality, Qin Zhou looked into Alicia's blue eyes and seemed to be able to see the emotions in her heart.

"Aili, you're still heartbroken about the Herrscher of Thunder, aren't you?"

"Hmm? It seems we're on the same page. Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a paradise that hadn't collapsed?"

"If you don't have one, you can create one yourself. How about I help you create a unique amusement park in the future?"

"Then I'll have to look forward to it!"

“Aili, the Welt Yang that Xing mentioned was once a Herrscher of Reason with humanity, although he was only the second generation.”

"Really? Can you tell me the story of the Herrscher of Reason?"

"Of course, no problem. It's a healthy, positive, and uplifting story."

Alicia didn't leave. The next Herrscher was still a long way off, so she decided to stay here and relax a bit.

Delicious food, enjoy delicious food.

Enjoying this place, one forgets about its impending doom.

"Qin Zhou, is this your girlfriend?"

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

When Atacino saw Alicia, he was slightly taken aback. What a beautiful girl she was; she didn't even make him jealous.

"I will always love Alicia." Qin Zhou answered irrelevantly, his voice as firm as if he were joining the Party.

Alicia blushed slightly. What a bold confession! She was embarrassed and wondered if she should respond.

“However, Atasino, you’ve come at just the right time.”

Qin Zhou took out his phone. IGO had recommended many commissions to him, which he could choose according to his mood. He could even ignore them all without any problem.

Qin Zhou was somewhat interested in some of the ingredients, and even if Atacino hadn't come to find him, he planned to go find Atacino anyway.

"Catching ingredients, no problem."

Chapter 71 Twin Lemons

"Alicia, you're not an ordinary person, are you?"

There were three people on this trip. Atacino was unaware of Alicia's strength, and many places in the human world were not as safe as the Gourmet World.

Qin Zhou wanted to say that it depends on how Atacino defines "ordinary people".

"Don't worry, I still have some ability."

Alicia smiled confidently. As a Herrscher, she could adapt to many environments.

Her strength as the Primordial Herrscher surpasses that of many Herrschers; even she herself is unaware of just how powerful she can be when she goes all out.

Does the Primordial Herald need this process?

"Atacino, you don't need to worry about Ellie, she's not that weak," Qin Zhou said with a smile.

If Alicia collects all twelve Herrscher cores, who will be stronger in the end, the Herrscher of the End?

Fifty thousand years later, apart from the six-core Sirin, the Honkai's favored daughter, all the Herrschers of Ice can fuse with the Herrschers of Rock to form the Herrscher of Meteor Ice.

The power of Origin can definitely accommodate the powers of other Herrschers. If we give it a try, maybe Alicia will become both Origin and End.

North of the Baron Islands lies a continent of moderate size, which is Qin Zhou and his companions' destination.

"This area is still within the human realm. If you go further north, you'll reach the culinary realm."

After entering the jungle, Qin Zhou could sense the gazes peering at him, some as strong as those at level 60 or 70, probably because he was close to the Gourmet World.

"Yes, twin lemons grow here. As for how to cook them, we'll only know after we see the ingredients."

Atasino had never cooked before, but IGO always managed to find some strange ingredients and then commission them to gourmets.

"Is it a demon crocodile?"

The group encountered a crocodile that was over 20 meters long, with three pairs of devilish horns on its back. It was even larger than the Kayla crocodile that Qin Zhou had seen before.

It is level 21 and is said to possess power comparable to that of the Demon Serpent.

"The crocodile was delivered to my door."

Qin Zhou directly used acupressure to strike its pressure points. If it were a true original species, the group would indeed be helpless, but at level 20 or so, it was truly no match for them.

Demon Crocodile: This matchmaking system is insane.

Other beasts: Brother, farewell.

"Hahahahaha..."

"The combination of chicken and fish has a flavor that is not too oily. It is as tender as fresh shrimp meat, and has a good chewiness. The salt in the seawater gives the meat a just-right saltiness and a natural sweetness."

"The Devil Crocodile and the Kayla Crocodile each have their own merits."

Qin Zhou chewed and commented on the taste of the demon crocodile.

Atasino didn't add much seasoning. She knew that the meat of this crocodile had natural saltiness, and it wasn't her target on this trip, so there was no need to go to great lengths.

"You guys can really eat!"

Alicia looked at the two's astonishing appetites, their stomachs barely rumbling, and felt ashamed of herself.

The demonic crocodile, weighing over ten tons, entered the stomachs of the two men with ease.

If I were to participate in a competitive eating contest, I would definitely be number one; if I were to eat at a buffet, I could make the restaurant owner cry.

"Alicia, can't you eat me?"

Atasino asked curiously, "After learning to eat, you can store a lot of energy."

"What if I don't know how?"

In terms of energy, Alicia has a lot of Honkai energy in her body, even though this is not the world of the Tree Sea.

The chat group's unique feature allows members to use the energy they control in other worlds without worrying about energy shortages, as it can be replenished at any time. The chat group plays a role in maintaining the energy connection between its members and this world.

People like Qin Zhou and Apollo don't need to worry about this kind of problem; they can actually absorb energy replenishment anywhere.

After passing through the lush jungle, the view suddenly opened up, and a waterfall cascading down appeared before us.

Twin Falls, as the name suggests, has two waterfalls. One is milky white, flowing with silky yogurt, and the other is blue, flowing with refreshing blueberry juice. The waterfalls also contain mineral candies that reflect sunlight, making them sparkle like stars.

"This world...is truly amazing."

Alicia was at a loss for words. Why was this drink flowing from the waterfall instead of water?

"That's normal. Some islands are entirely dedicated to producing fine wines," Qin Zhou said with a smile.

However, this was the first time he had ever seen this type of waterfall.

In the lake below the waterfall, the yogurt and blueberry juice are clearly separated, which is quite magical, as if there is an invisible boundary separating them.

"Qin Zhou, that must be Twin Lemons."

Atasino spotted the target on several small islands in the lake.

The lemon tree is as tall as a person, with a crystal-like trunk and leaves. The fruit that grows on it has two different shapes: one with a very rough skin, like sandpaper, and the other with a very smooth skin, like a mirror.

The three arrived on the island.

Qin Zhou reached out and picked a rough lemon. After cutting it open, the flesh was a deep red, like lava.

"Ouch...it's so sour...ouch..."

Just one lick sent an intensely sour taste straight to Qin Zhou's scalp, causing his facial features to contort and tears to well up uncontrollably. Even his tongue felt slightly stinging from the sourness.

He even suspected that it was too acidic and could not be eaten normally.

"This is so sweet, it's sickeningly sweet!"

Alicia picked up a smooth lemon with blue flesh, licked it, and it tasted like a concentrated form of sugar, making her sense of sweetness completely disordered.

This sweetness is different from the sweetness of rainbow fruit; this sweetness is truly hard to swallow. Just one lick makes you feel your insulin secreting rapidly.

"These twin lemons should be mixed in a 1:1 ratio before they can be consumed properly."

Atasino thus analyzed that some ingredients are just that special, and this should also be considered a special culinary ingredient.

Atacino took out a scale with a measuring cup on it and mixed the juice of two different lemons in the correct proportions.

"Uh... is this really safe to drink?"

When the two lemon juices are mixed, they turn into a peculiar purplish-black color, with occasional streaks of red, which looks somewhat ominous and eerie. I wonder if drinking it will cause red hair to grow.

“It should be possible,” Atasino nodded.

The three of them each took a cup, carefully sipped it first, and then drank it down.

It certainly lacks that intense sour and sweet flavor.
