Food: I found Eri Nakiri in the world of Food Prisoners

In this way, it won't be so easy to defeat the Scorpion Demon Bull clan.

The Scorpion Bull Clan had already received the message from the first Melk, and since their clan was also very warlike, they didn't have any concerns about having another opponent.

However, they chose battle locations far from the original Melk's workshop, otherwise the commotion from the battles would have affected the original Melk.

Fighting these scorpion-demon bulls using only physical strength under a hundred times the gravity was indeed putting considerable pressure on Xu Yong.

Time passed day by day, and Xu Yong's control over his power improved by leaps and bounds, while his understanding of the meaning of food also deepened.

The Scorpion Demon Bulls also noticed Xu Yong's change. At first, Xu Yong was indeed stronger than them, but not by much.

However, in just one or two days, Xu Yong was already able to easily crush a Scorpion Demon Bull.

Keep in mind that this is under a hundred times the gravity and without using any other techniques, fighting solely with one's physical body.

Left with no other choice, the Scorpion Demon Bulls could only increase their numbers in order to suppress Xu Yong. However, as time went on, Xu Yong's Food Righteousness Realm became higher and higher.

The number of Scorpion Bulls also increased from two or three to more. A month later, apart from the Scorpion Bull that served as the bodyguard for the first Melk, none of the other Scorpion Bulls were a match for Xu Yong.

In just one month, Xu Yong's culinary skills had reached the proficiency level.

This level is one that Zhenzhenzhen can recognize. In the entire Shilin Temple, apart from Zhenzhenzhen herself, no one else has reached the level of mastery in food.

Even the chef Qianliu from the nearby Yunyin Restaurant is the same. It should be noted that Qianliu's chef ranking is quite high.

However, even she did not reach the level of mastery in food, and did not gain Zhenzhenzhen's approval.

There are very few people in the entire human world who can master the art of food; these people are basically all powerful figures who can enter the world of gastronomy.

This shows just how difficult it is to master the art of food. Xu Yong originally estimated that it would take him several months to reach the mastery level of food.

However, the time has now been shortened to one month. The reason for this significant reduction is partly due to Xu Yong's talent.

On the other hand, it's also because of the boost that Xu Yong received from his three partners.

Half a month ago, Mirajane had mastered the skill of eliminating life through the tempering of gravity and constant battles, so Xu Yong's food righteousness also improved as a result.

Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinto, who studied at the Chungmei Culinary Academy, also became three-star chefs. These two promotions further enhanced Xu Yong's culinary skills.

Therefore, in just one month, Xu Yong's mastery of food etiquette had reached the level of expertise.

Once the mastery of food was achieved, this hundredfold gravity was completely insignificant to Xu Yong, as if it did not exist.

Staying here won't allow Xu Yong's strength to continue to improve.

"Thank you so much for your help during this time. I have another companion who needs your help later. This is my reward!"

Xu Yong thanked the Scorpion Demon Bulls and brought out a large amount of ingredients, all of which he had captured here recently.

The snake den is rich in ingredients, with a large number of various gem crabs, as well as many other ingredients.

While some of the ingredients are not suitable for human consumption, they are completely different for the Scorpion Demon Bull.

The diet of the Scorpion Bull is quite different from that of humans. For humans, only the amplifying stones in the vocal cords of creatures like the Rock Vulture are useful.

However, the amplifying stone is completely useless to the Scorpion Demon Bull clan. On the contrary, the meat of the Rock Vulture is their favorite.

However, it is not easy for the Scorpion Bull Clan to capture the Rock Vulture, since it can fly.

The Scorpion Bulls often only manage to capture Rock Vultures by ambushing them when they are off guard.

If Xu Yong asked the other party for help, then naturally he would have to give them some benefits in return.

Seeing the food Xu Yong brought out, the Scorpion Demon Bulls nodded quickly. After all, these things were not easy for them to catch normally, and Xu Yong had brought out so much at once, enough to feed them for a long time.

After dealing with the scorpion demon bulls, Xu Yong flew upwards and eventually found Mira Zhen and Xiao Mo at an altitude of over 5,000 meters.

At this point, Mirajane was able to fight five Barbamus simultaneously at a distance of 5,000 meters.

The gravity here is incomparable to that at a distance of one thousand meters. Mirajane is able to do this not only because her control over her strength is constantly improving, but also because her cellular level is constantly increasing.

Because many ingredients in Xu Yong's planting space have matured, including Rainbow Fruit, Mirajane's cell level has improved, and she can now receive more of the power of the Gourmet Demons.

At a depth of 5,000 meters, the gravity in the snake's den is already 30 times that of gravity, and at a depth of 10,000 meters, it can reach 50 times that of gravity.

Mirajane was able to fight against five Barbamus while withstanding thirty times the gravity, which shows just how much her strength has increased.

At this time, Mirajane also began to understand the meaning of food under Xu Yong's guidance. However, the meaning of food is still too difficult, so Mirajane has not yet been able to get started. She can only touch the edge of the meaning of food for the time being and has a little inspiration.

"Xiao Mo, go to the bottom and spar with the Scorpion Demon Bulls. Remember not to use too much force."

After Xu Yong came up, he immediately switched shifts with Xiao Mo. During this month, Xiao Mo spent the rest of the time either getting used to the gravity or guarding Mira Zhen, since the snake den was still too dangerous for Mira Zhen.

Otherwise, with Xiao Mo's talent, she would have been able to adapt to the gravity at the bottom long ago.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo let out a joyful cry. After all, it was quite boring to stay here all the time, so after hearing Xu Yong's words, it immediately darted downwards.

At the same time, Mirajane also defeated the five Barbamus in front of her. She didn't kill them, after all, she still needed to keep them for training, and these guys couldn't be eaten.

"Has Mr. Xu Yong finished his training?"

Mirajane was quite surprised to see Xu Yong come up at this time and replace Xiao Mo.

“That’s right, I’ve achieved my goal. You’ve reached the mastery level in Food Ethics, so there’s not much point in staying at the bottom for further training. So, I’ll be in charge of protecting your safety for the next period of time.”

Xu Yong said with a smile that after a month of getting to know each other, he and Miran had become much closer.

As for the issue of how to address her, Mirajane is already used to it, so she hasn't changed it.

Besides protecting Miran, Xu Yong's most crucial task now is to have plenty of time to learn about her basic culinary skills.

In this way, as long as Mirajane gets the basics of food, he can also benefit from it. Moreover, he also needs some time to study the skill of food.

The technique of "eating until you're dead" is extremely useful for strong individuals, and even Yi Long and his team still use it.

After all, there is a limit to the calories that food cells can store, but this limit can be greatly increased through food.

People with a knack for food burn calories when using their techniques, so the amount of calories is very important for strong individuals.

The skill of "Food Without Food" is quite different from the previous training in Food Skills. While Food Skills could be improved through battles, Food Without Food cannot. Food Without Food requires raising the upper limit of Gourmet Cells, which cannot be mastered through battles.

Xu Yong also asked Yu Zuo and others about how to master the skill of eating without food.

According to Yu Zuo, mastering food requires a prerequisite of being proficient in the principles of food, because only by achieving this level of control can one control the cells in one's own body.

By finding the barrier within the food cell and removing it, the capacity of the food cell can be increased, although this increase is only temporary.

This barrier can only be broken temporarily. After a period of time, it will be restored again. This is why those who control food will choose to eat a lot of food before a major battle.

Because the effects of food are short-lived and cannot be maintained indefinitely, if you eat those foods too early, the cell barrier will eventually recover, and then all that food will have been wasted.

However, even if the effect of the food depletion is only temporary, this skill is still an amazing ability.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Infinite Possibilities of Food Theory, Mirajane's Introduction to Food Theory, An Unexpected Discovery

While searching for the obstacles in the cells, Xu Yong taught Mirajane about food, but as for Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinto, Xu Yong's food teachings were not suitable for them.

Xu Yong's culinary skills are more suitable for combat personnel. The culinary skills that suit them are those of Shilin Temple. Xu Yong plans to take the two to Shilin Temple to study after they have studied at Zhongmei Culinary Academy for a period of time.

He could also go there to capture the Soap Bubble Fruit, which is a very precious ingredient in the human world.

In fact, many ingredients in the human world would be considered rare delicacies in the culinary world, such as the Century Soup and the Soap Bubble Fruit.

The difficulty of catching this type of food depends on the surrounding environment.

Ingredients like Century Soup are so potent that they can make even the most discerning gourmets in the Three Tigers' culinary senses fluctuate. Compared to other ingredients in the culinary world, it must be at least in the four or five thousand range.

However, because Century Soup was born in the human world, coupled with the environment of the Ice Hell, its capture level is not high.

Speaking of which, Xu Yong also received news from Tie Ping that they had returned from the Ice Hell.

Just like in the original story, the Century Soup was stolen by the Gourmet Club, the gourmet display window was completely destroyed, and the last drop of Century Soup was drunk by Komatsu.

Toriko went to the Land of Healing for treatment due to his serious injuries. In other words, from the time Teppei contacts Xu Yong, Toriko's arm will recover in six months, and Komatsu will directly make the Century Soup.

This period is extremely important for Xu Yong. Although it's not yet time and the ingredients won't be ready, it doesn't prevent Xu Yong from continuously improving his strength during this time.

As the story progresses, Toriko and the others' strength increases rapidly, and the crises they encounter become increasingly severe. Therefore, Xu Yong must improve his strength as much as possible before that happens.

In the past six months, besides helping his three partners improve, Xu Yong also plans to raise his own cell level to over 08.

Another month passed, and Xu Yong had now mastered the art of food and drink. However, after mastering the art, Xu Yong discovered another problem: the art of food and drink was also divided into different levels.

The barriers existing in the cell can be continuously broken down, thereby increasing the calorie capacity of the food cell. Xu Yong has broken down the first barrier so far and found the second one, but has not yet broken down the second barrier.

The more obstacles you overcome, the more calories you can store. After mastering the food, Xu Yongcai realized that this was a new starting point. At the same time, he also contacted his colleagues to inquire about the food.

Yu Zuo was stunned when he learned that Xu Yong had mastered Shi Mo, after all, he had never seen anyone so quickly raise the level of Shi Yi to the proficiency level and master Shi Mo.

However, Yosaku was also unaware of the upper limit of food. Not only him, but even Chin Chin, who had the most thorough research on the meaning of food in the human world, had not touched the limit of food.

According to Yuzuru, the meaning of food has infinite possibilities. To date, even IGO's president, Ichiryu, has not been able to reach the limit of food. This is something that everyone has been constantly exploring.

Directly in front of Xu Yong, Mirajane was still fighting Barbamos, but the two were now at a depth of 10,000 meters, and the number of Barbamos fighting Mirajane had reached ten.

The gravity here is fifty times that on the surface of the earth, and dealing with ten Barbamus is also difficult for Mirajane. However, with Xu Yong watching over her, Mirajane will not be in any danger.

However, just as Xu Yong continued his research on the food, Mirajane, who had been being overwhelmed by the ten Barbamus, suddenly unleashed a powerful force, instantly killing the ten Barbamus in front of her.

The sudden outburst of this power caught everyone off guard, and even Mirajane herself was caught off guard.

"Congratulations, Mira! You've mastered the basics of culinary arts!"

Seeing this, Xu Yong smiled. Miran had finally mastered the basics of cooking after two months of hard work.

While such speed cannot compare to Toriko and Komatsu's, Mirajane's talent is definitely top-tier in this world.

"Have you mastered the basics of Food Ethics? I never imagined that the difference between before and after mastering it would be so great. The power I used just now was exactly the same as before, but the power it unleashed was completely different."

Mirajane looked at her hands in disbelief. Before she entered the realm of food, the attacks of the ten Barbamus had overwhelmed her. The attacks were too dense, and she couldn't react to some of the tricky ones.

However, after mastering the basics of Food Magic, the ten-headed Barbamus proved to be full of weaknesses in her presence, as she could easily detect and dodge all attacks.

She can dodge while also counterattacking, and the power of the same force is completely different. Before she mastered the art of food, the moves she used could only injure two or three of the Barbamus at most.

However, after mastering the basics of food, he used the same technique to instantly kill ten Barbamus.

"This is the effect of Food Ethics, but you've only just begun. As your Food Ethics improves, your control over power will become increasingly terrifying, and the power of your moves will also grow stronger."

As Xu Yong spoke, he received the reward given by the system.

"Hmm? This time the reward is still 'foolish' and not 'devoured'?"

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment after seeing the reward given by the system. Anyone who has mastered the Food God will constantly explore the Food God, and Xu Yong was no exception.

Because probing the barriers within cells also enhances one's control over power, everyone believes that while increasing the upper limit of food consumption, the meaning of food consumption is also constantly improving.

But now that the system has given him this reward, Xu Yong suddenly realizes that things seem to be different from what he knew.

If we define food as a tree, then the entire process from beginner to expert is the cultivation process of the tree. After mastering food, the tree has grown from a sapling into a towering tree.

The process of breaking down cellular barriers, which is like continuously allowing the branches to grow, is similar to the process of branches extending from the main trunk.

However, during this process, the main trunk is also growing, but in a different direction. Instead of growing taller, the main trunk grows thicker.

Because the main body is also constantly growing, everyone believes that while exploring the limits of food, the meaning of food is also constantly being improved.

This idea is not wrong in a strict sense. The real problem is that everyone only focuses on one aspect, namely the thickness of the trees, and no longer pays attention to the height of the trees.

People take this direction as the whole of food ethics, but in fact it is only one aspect of food ethics.

The system's reward now is to allow Xu Yong's food to grow in another direction, namely the height of the tree, which is a direction that even Zhen Zhenzhen and Yi Long have not studied.

"I see. The two directions of food are: one is to continuously improve one's control over the body and energy through food, thereby enhancing one's strength."

"Another approach is to solidify the effect of the food, allowing this temporary increase in calories to be permanently stored in the cells!"

This time, the enhancement of his understanding of food led Xu Yong to discover that the first barrier in his cells had not been restored, but was in a state of being permanently opened.

In other words, Xu Yong could permanently store the calories stored in this barrier, permanently consuming them. Just thinking about it terrifies Xu Yong.

It's important to understand that the duration of the "Eat and Not" technique is short, and no one can predict when they will be involved in the battle. Therefore, the "Eat and Not" technique often cannot be used to its fullest extent.

After all, eating takes time, and the body also needs time to absorb that energy.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as Toriko knowing there will be a fierce battle during the Gourmet Festival, he finishes eating before the festival begins.

Aside from this special case, in other situations, just like when Zhenzhen dealt with Granny Chiyo, only a little bit of food was consumed.

In the original story, Zhenzhen was defeated by Granny Chiyo for two reasons: firstly, she was too soft-hearted, and secondly, she failed to complete the food-eating ritual.

Zhenzhen's mastery of food preparation is terrifyingly high. He has overcome countless obstacles, so it will take him quite a while to perfect his food preparation.

However, Zhenzhen could not accurately predict when the great battle would arrive. She would only have a slight premonition before the great battle arrived. At this time, if she tried to devour the enemy, she would naturally not be able to do so perfectly.

Xu Yong has now become an outlier among everyone, as he can maintain a state of perpetual hunger.
