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

"Are we supposed to put the century's rich soup into an icy hell to be conceived?"

After hearing Xu Yong's words, Bubu asked in surprise.

"This is one method, but it may not be the only one. There are other ways to supplement the missing natural ingredients. It looks like I'll have to trouble Kojiro to make another trip. I hope those little rascals from the Gourmet Club haven't drunk up the Century Soup."

Grandma Jie Nai said, then immediately took out her phone.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Master Jiro's Attempt to Break into the Gourmet Gathering; The Century's Thick Soup Completed Ahead of Schedule

Grandma Jie's words puzzled the others, but Xu Yong understood them.

In the original story, the key to making the Century Soup lies with the wall penguins. Komatsu's wall penguin has lived in the Ice Hell for generations, and they have also drunk the Century Soup for generations.

That's why penguin saliva can become the final ingredient.

The key to making the century soup lies not in the penguin's saliva, but in the century soup itself.

The natural elements in the soup of the century are something that humans cannot replenish. Humans cannot replace nature, so we can only rely on nature itself.

Grandma Jie understood what Xu Yong meant. She didn't know that the saliva of the wall penguin could have the same effect. Since she didn't know this, she needed to use the Century Soup itself to fill the gap.

The gourmet display window is now destroyed, and no new Century Soup will ever be created again. The last drop of Century Soup was drunk by Komatsu, and the rest was taken away by the members of the Gourmet Club.

At this moment, Granny Setsuna also felt some regret. She should have known better than to let Alfaro take away the last of the century's soup.

Now she plans to have Master Jiro go to the Gourmet Club to ask for some Century Soup, provided that the Century Soup hasn't been completely consumed yet.

As for whether Master Jiro will be in danger at the Gourmet Gathering, there is no need to worry at all. The only thing that can threaten Master Jiro at the Gourmet Gathering is the Three Tigers.

It's almost time for a gourmet feast, and the Three Tigers won't get serious about a bowl of soup or Master Jiro.

"Going to a food stall to snatch up the century's soup? I get it. As long as there's any left, I'll definitely bring it back."

After receiving a call from Granny Setsuno, Master Jiro, who was on his way back, changed course and went to the Gourmet Association headquarters.

The location of the Gourmet Guild headquarters is transparent to powerful individuals like them, as they can easily extend their perception to cover the entire human realm.

With so many powerful figures gathered together at the Gourmet Gathering, it was naturally exposed long ago. However, since Ichiryu, Jiro, and Sanko were all fellow disciples, the two of them would not directly attack the members of the Gourmet Gathering.

Moreover, if they do that, the Three Tigers will not hesitate to attack the strong members of IGO, which will deplete the human world's resources, a scenario that no one wants to see.

The strength of these fellow disciples is simply too outstanding in the human realm.

The headquarters of the Gourmet Guild is where many of the guild's strongest members gather, with only a very few venturing out on missions.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure swept towards the headquarters of the Gourmet Association.

"What's with this pressure?! Could it be the BOSS...? No, this isn't the BOSS's aura!"

Because the pressure was so strong, the people present immediately thought of Sanhu, but they quickly realized that it was not Sanhu who released the pressure.

The three tigers' aura was far more domineering than this.

Just as everyone was wondering, another pressure burst out from inside the Gourmet Association, blocking the previous pressure.

"I never expected to meet you here again. What's your purpose in coming here?"

At the entrance of the Gourmet Club headquarters, two figures stood, none other than Jiro and Sanhu.

The moment they sensed the oppressive aura emanating from Jiro, Sanhu appeared. Although they didn't know what Jiro was up to, they certainly couldn't let him run amok.

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask if the century soup that you guys stole is still available."

Master Jiro said with a smile.

"A century-defining soup?! Just for this?"

Sanhu was also stunned for a moment after hearing this. Although his gourmet cells did fluctuate when faced with the Century Soup, it was just a fluctuation and the Century Soup could not improve his strength.

Since he couldn't use the Century Soup to enhance his strength, so could Jiro and Ichiryu. Moreover, Jiro had captured the Century Soup a long time ago.

No matter what the ingredient is, the benefits are greatest the first time you eat it. Eating it again after that will not activate the cells. That's why he was so confused by Jiro.

"Just for this."

Master Jiro nodded, and at the same time, other powerful figures in the culinary world also arrived here.

"Jiro, the pressure point master? What's he doing here?!"

The moment they saw Jiro, many powerful figures began to twitch uncontrollably, as they knew perfectly well what kind of strength Master Jiro possessed.

The three tigers had warned them beforehand not to provoke Jiro, Ichiryu, or Granny Setsuno.

"I've come for the century's rich soup. Do you have any left?"

Master Jiro asked.

"A soup of the century? Boss!"

Everyone looked at the three tigers. They did indeed have a little bit of Century Soup left, mainly because Century Soup was very useful. They used it to break through the threshold of level 100 in cell level.

People whose cell level is below 100 will have their cells activated after drinking the Century Soup, which will greatly enhance their strength and qualify them to enter the culinary world.

After tasting a mouthful, the Three Tigers kept the rest of the Century Soup to create more powerful figures who could ascend to the culinary world.

Those who meet the standard will receive a sip of the Century Soup, which is why the Century Soup from the Food Festival hasn't been used up even after so much time has passed—after all, there aren't many people who can meet the standard.

Although there are some left, they can't just take them out directly, so it depends on Sanhu's decision.

"There's still some left of the century's broth, which I can give you, but I can't just give it to you for free."

Sanhu spoke up, as he was, after all, the leader of the Gourmet Club, and naturally could not easily compromise with Jiro.

"In that case, how about I exchange the right to purchase the Century Soup for it?"

Master Jiro laughed, and his words stunned everyone at the food gathering.

“I see. No wonder you came all the way to the Food Club for the Century Soup. In that case, give the soup to him.”

Sanhu also understood why Jiro had stormed the Gourmet Club for the sake of the Century Soup; it turned out it was for Granny Setsuno.

Ingredients like the Century Soup weren't very important before because they were limited in quantity and were already considered non-renewable.

However, if Granny Setsuna really creates the Century Soup, then she can continue to produce powerful individuals who can go to the culinary world.

For Jiro, offering this condition wasn't about aiding the enemy. Although there were many people who might have problems with the food, Master Jiro knew very well that their ultimate enemy was never human.

Furthermore, the rivalry between IGO and food will benefit the development of both sides. Having an equally matched opponent will motivate those in power to strive for advancement.

Therefore, the condition that Jiro gave could cultivate the power of the human world, and it could also be considered as giving the three tigers a way out, allowing them to give up the rest of the century's broth.

"What? You're already planning to leave? You don't even want to say a few more words to me?"

Seeing that Sanhu was about to leave, Jiro asked again.

"I don't think there's anything more to say between us."

After uttering those words, Sanhu vanished from the spot.

"He's still the same as before, he won't even call me 'brother'."

Master Jiro shook his head. The relationship between the three brothers in the past was very good. Although the three tigers parted ways with them after the Flose incident, it was impossible for them not to care about each other.

However, he knew he couldn't persuade Sanhu right now, so he didn't stop Sanhu.

Soon, the last bit of the century's rich soup was delivered to Master Jiro.

"There's still quite a lot left. In that case, I'll take my leave now. Oh, and before I go, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: you'd better behave yourselves and not do anything out of line."

After saying that, Master Jiro left immediately.

"That damn old bastard even made some threats when he left!"

The food club was full of eccentrics, and they were all extremely annoyed when they heard Jiro's words. After all, even an ordinary person would be annoyed if threatened, let alone these hot-tempered guys.

"Shut up, everyone. This person is not someone we can afford to offend. Anyone who provokes him should withdraw from the Gourmet Gathering."

When Chef Kuromad spoke, everyone else immediately went silent, as if they had turned on a mute switch.

The food festival gradually returned to normal, and Master Jiro rushed back to Setsuno Shokudo.

Without slowing down, Master Jiro wouldn't have needed long to travel. The reason he returned so quickly was twofold: firstly, to deliver the Century Soup to Granny Setsuno, and secondly, because of Xu Yong.

Because Xu Yonglai's arrival at Granny Jie's place was much later than he had anticipated, he wasn't so old and blind as to have completely merged with the Gourmet Demon within him and was now a living Gourmet Demon.

The old man's lifespan is endless, and his appearance is due to acupressure. He is confident in his judgment, so he is eager to know what happened to Xu Yong and why he reached the mastery level of food righteousness so quickly.

"You're eating? Looks like I've come back just in time."

After opening the door, Master Jiro saw several people eating.

"You're back, Kojiro. Looks like those little rascals haven't finished drinking the Century Soup yet!"

Granny Setsuna also saw the food box in Master Jiro's hand immediately.

"After all, these are ingredients that can quickly bring someone to the standard of entering the culinary world, so they naturally won't waste them."

After handing the food box to Granny Setsuna, Master Jiro said with a smile.

"Then let's try it out here."

Grandma Jie took the Century Soup and went straight to a pot containing the Century Soup, but it was meant to be served to Xu Yong and his group.

Now that Master Jiro has brought back the soup of the century, let's try it out here.

Anyway, the experiment only needs one drop, and although the amount of the century soup that Master Jiro brought back is not much, it is enough.

As a drop of the original version of the century's thick soup was added to the broth, colorful aurora lights appeared above the pot.

"Success! As expected, what was missing in the end was nature. Xu Yong, your guess was absolutely right!"

0 ..........

Looking at the now-successful soup, Granny Setsuno smiled and said that this soup, which had taken her a century to complete, was finally finished, and the key to all of this was Xu Yong's reminder.

"I'm just offering my own conjecture."

Xu Yong smiled. Actually, he was more curious about Toriko's arm. In the original story, Toriko's arm grew back at the last moment. The reason he was able to succeed at the last moment was because Komatsu made the Century Soup.

So what about now? Will Toriko's arm grow back prematurely?

"But your guess is correct, and this is the final key to making the soup of the century. Without this, the soup of the century still cannot be made."

Grandma Jie shook her head.

"Now that it's finished, let's have a taste. Speaking of which, it's been a hundred years since I've had the Century Soup. Oh, right, little Jie, there's one more thing..."

Master Jiro told Granny Setsuno about the details of his deal with the Gourmet Club.

Granny Setsuna did not object to this. As someone who had lived for hundreds of years, she could see at a glance what Master Jiro's purpose was in doing this.

"Master, are we really going to let the Gourmet Guild buy Century Soup? They're a hostile force!"

Bubu couldn't help but ask, a question that also puzzled Erina Nakiri and the others.

They were aware of the Gourmet Club's actions, and now they wondered if it was really okay to allow such a hostile organization to purchase such precious ingredients.

“Bubu, some things can’t be judged by appearances alone. The people from the Gourmet Society are indeed very disgusting in their behavior, but they are ultimately members of the human world.”

Granny Jie spoke up, and Xu Yong could understand their thoughts, but he didn't think they were right.

The Gourmet Club members are indeed members of the human world, but these guys are of such poor character that even members of IGO would succumb to temptation when faced with crisis and danger, let alone the members of the Gourmet Club.

Although the Gourmet Society does have talented people, such as Stajiu, they are always a very small minority. However, Xu Yong has no say in how they decide to act.

Xu Yong only knew one thing: when encountering members of the food association, he should just go all out.

After she finished speaking, Grandma Jie prepared a bowl of Century Soup for everyone. Looking at the Century Soup in front of him, Xu Yong was also mentally prepared.

He knew very well what would happen after drinking this soup, and he didn't want to experience that lewd expression.

The reason that lewd smile appeared was because he felt the ultimate happiness after drinking the soup of the century. Similarly, this smile could be suppressed.

The guy who built the house for Toriko was one of them. After drinking the Century Soup, he laughed, but the laugh was very small and controllable.

However, first-time drinkers have no idea about the specifics of this "century soup," so the vast majority of them will fall victim to its harmful effects.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Collective Cell Activation, the Powerful Master Jiro

Xu Yong did not remind the others that Master Jiro and Granny Setsuno had already experienced this, and that they were both hundreds of years old and did not care about their appearance at all.
