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

Erina Nakiri looked at her hands with some confusion. She knew that they hadn't touched any cooking utensils or ingredients since arriving in this world, because they had been traveling for the past few days.

But now, Yu Zuo can actually smell the food.

"Those of us with a knack for food have our five senses enhanced..."

Xu Yong explained from the side that the two of them naturally knew the concept of gourmet cells, but they also knew that gourmet cells were very difficult to obtain, so they could only look on with envy.

People with a natural affinity for food and who are awakened to it will have their five senses enhanced as their ability to process food increases.

Of course, such an improvement cannot be compared to that of the Four Heavenly Kings. The Five Senses of the Four Heavenly Kings are the abilities of the Gourmet Demons, which is why one of their senses is so strong.

Xu Yong wasn't sure of the exact level of Yu Zuo's cell strength, but it should be over four digits. At a cell level of four digits, the five senses would have been enhanced to a terrifying degree.

In such a situation, smelling food residue is a very simple thing.

Xu Yong's five senses have also been enhanced, and the enhanced senses have a filtering function, which can eliminate smells he doesn't want to smell, sounds he doesn't want to hear, and things he doesn't want to see.

This is truly amazing; it can only be described as the essence of gourmet cells, the fundamental reason why gourmets captivate the world.

After listening to Xu Yong's words, the two understood what was going on. They realized that their understanding of Gourmet Cells was only superficial, and there were many amazing things about Gourmet Cells that they didn't know.

Chapter Eleven: Melker's Knife

After chatting for a while, Xu Yong took the two of them to his rehabilitation center.

"This is my regeneration facility. It's smaller than my master's, but there are quite a few empty rooms. After all, my regeneration facility is not open to the public."

After opening the door of his regeneration facility, Xu Yong said that since this was his residence, it was kept very clean, and it wouldn't be dusty even after he had been away for a few days.

"Huh, why is your rebirth facility so different from Master Zuo's?"

Seeing that Xu Yong's regeneration facility was spotless, the two asked with some curiosity, since Yu Zuo's regeneration facility was covered in bloodstains.

However, because Yu Zuo was also there, they didn't dare to ask. They thought all regeneration centers were like this, but after seeing Xu Yong's regeneration center, they realized that their idea was wrong.

"Those marks are mainly because the master's regeneration technique is rather crude, with large, sweeping movements. Although the effect is very good, it often leaves some marks, which is why you see the scene you are looking at."

Xu Yong began to speak, saying that unlike others, when dealing with the wounded and sick, other regeneration masters were very careful, but Xu Yong did the exact opposite.

He would even throw injured patients directly out of the air, his actions were extremely rough, and such rough actions would naturally leave some marks.

Although there was cleaning afterwards, doing this over the years inevitably left behind traces that couldn't be removed.

"This is really..."

The two of them didn't know what to say, and could only say that Yu Zuo was indeed different from others.

"Let's tidy up your rooms first, then I'll take you out to buy things. After all, you'll need all sorts of daily necessities. Oh, and the Melk kitchen knife that Master promised to give you."

Xu Yong said that now that they had settled down, they should naturally go and buy all kinds of daily necessities, since the two of them hadn't brought anything with them when they traveled to the world of Toriko.

"Melker's cleaver, I think it's a very famous cleaver!"

The two recalled what they had learned about this world over the past few days. Melk's cleaver was very famous in the human world, but they only knew that it was famous and didn't know the specifics.

"That's right. The Melk knife is now the most mainstream knife in the human world. Most of the top 100 chefs on the chef ranking list use Melk knives."

"The most distinctive feature of the Melk knife is its sharpness. As you all know, many of the ingredients here are quite tough and have considerable defensive capabilities."

"In this situation, the kitchen knife needs to be sharp enough, and of course, the chef's skill is also very important."

After Xu Yong finished speaking, the two of them understood why Melker's cleaver was so famous. However, they had not yet witnessed the power of Melker's cleaver. They would probably be amazed when they did.

After tidying up the room, Xu Yong took the two of them out. The Healing Kingdom had a large shopping mall. Although it couldn't compare to the food court in terms of scale, it had basically everything you needed, but the quality and quantity were much worse than the food court.

After buying a large amount of daily necessities and clothes for the two of them, Xu Yong had them delivered to the entrance of his regeneration center. He then led the two to the area where kitchen knives were sold.

"Are these really kitchen knives? They look really strange!"

Looking at the Melk knives in front of them, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto said that they had never seen knives like these before.

Besides being sharp, Melker knives have another characteristic: most of them look completely unrelated to traditional kitchen knives.

The shapes of these cleavers can only be described as ferocious, and some of them are ridiculously large. For example, the cleaver at the very top is over three meters long. Its ferocious and gorgeous appearance could be mistaken for a divine weapon in any other world.

But in the world of Gourmet Devil, these are all kitchen knives.

"The design is a bit strange, but it's good enough as long as it works. However, you should ignore the intermediate and advanced kitchen knives and just use the low-level ones."

"Don't misunderstand, it's not that we're reluctant to part with them, but rather because of the sharpness of these knives. Even the lowest grade Melk knives pose a certain risk to you, and the higher grade ones could easily cost you your lives if you're not careful."

Xu Yong spoke up, explaining that it wasn't that he was reluctant to spend the money; he was a wealthy man now, and buying a few high-end Melker knives was a piece of cake, especially since it was on Yu Zuo's tab.

However, the higher the grade of the Melk knife, the sharper it is. Just like Komatsu's knife, which was made from the fossil of the Dragon King's Fang, it can split a mountain in one stroke without even using much force.

Erina Nakiri and the others have only just arrived in this world. If they rashly use the high-level Melk kitchen knife, they might cut themselves or the people around them, and that would be the end of them.

Are these kitchen knives really that dangerous?

The two women did not doubt that Xu Yong would deceive them; they were simply curious as to why these Melk kitchen knives were so dangerous.

"It's not that dangerous for me, but it's a different story for you. Even the lowest grade Melk knife can cut stone as easily as tofu. If you don't control your strength properly, one slash and you'll cut through not only the cutting board, but the entire counter."

Xu Yong told the two the specific reason.

"Are even the lowest grade Melk kitchen knives this sharp?!"

After hearing Xu Yong's words, the two were shocked. Although Xu Yong kept saying that Melk's kitchen knife was very sharp, they didn't know exactly how sharp it was.

Who would have thought that even the most basic Melk knife could be this sharp?

"A top-of-the-line Melk knife can split mountains with just a little force, but you don't have access to those top-of-the-line knives yet."

Xu Yong shook his head. The top-quality Melk kitchen knives are made of very special, custom-made materials, which Xu Yong cannot produce right now.

"Maybe we should just forget about it; these kitchen knives are too dangerous."

After glancing at the Melk kitchen knives on the counter, Erina Nakiri said that she was genuinely hesitant to use them after learning about their lethality.

"Don't worry, although the low-grade Melk knife is sharp, as long as you are careful, you will be fine after a while. You are my temporary partners now, and the level of ingredients you will come into contact with will continue to increase, so sooner or later you will come into contact with higher-grade Melk knives."

Xu Yong comforted him, saying that as long as he didn't point the kitchen knives at himself or the people around him, there wouldn't be any problems.

Chapter Twelve: Partner Rewards, Probability of Obtaining Gourmet Cells

At Xu Yong's urging, the two finally each took a relatively small and not particularly menacing kitchen knife.

These kitchen knives were actually made by the second generation Melker. The kitchen knives made by the second generation Melker were not as exaggerated in design as the first generation.

However, the current second-generation Melk mistakenly believes that she is not qualified, so the kitchen knives she makes are all imitating the style of the first generation.

Xu Yong put the two kitchen knives on Yu Zuo's tab. After all, it was a token of the master's goodwill, so Xu Yong naturally wouldn't be polite. This amount of money was really nothing to Yu Zuo.

After buying all sorts of things, Xu Yong took the two of them back home. Once they were both asleep, Xu Yong started checking the system rewards.

The system's reward is divided into two parts: one part is for Xu Yong, and the other part is for Xu Yong's partner.

Xu Yong received two rewards. The first was a system space, the size of which would increase as Xu Yong's strength improved. At present, the space was 1,000 meters in length, width and height.

"System space, ah, it really provides exactly what I need. It will be much more convenient to bring things into the wild in the future, and there will also be a place to store the food I capture. Although it is a little small now, it will grow in size."

Xu Yong was very satisfied with the first reward. Although the space was small now, not even big enough to fit a Ligalu mammoth, it would continue to grow as his strength increased, which was quite good.

This system space cannot store living things, but the food stored inside can be kept fresh indefinitely; it will look exactly the same when it is taken out as it was when it was put in.

After reviewing the effects of the system space, Xu Yong turned his attention to the second reward.

The second reward is the insight into the meaning of food. After receiving this insight, Xu Yong can obtain the most suitable meaning of food for himself and begin to understand it.

Xu Yong knew very well what food ethics was. Whether it was a chef, a gourmet hunter, or a regenerator, food ethics was very important to any profession.

Before mastering the art of food, one's efforts yield only one effect; but after mastering the art of food, one's efforts can produce ten or even dozens of effects.

Food philosophy is about ultimate control over the body, and Xu Yong had previously considered whether he should learn food philosophy.

The most suitable place in the human realm to learn the art of food is undoubtedly Shilin Temple, but for Xu Yong, the art of food at Shilin Temple is not particularly suitable for him.

After all, the food service at Shilin Temple requires one to learn to be grateful.

The food ritual of Shokurinji Temple is constantly refined by strengthening the idea of ​​gratitude. Once you master and become proficient in the food ritual, you can easily simulate this mindset because it is an ultimate form of self-control.

It can precisely control not only the physical body, but also one's thoughts and ideas.

Of course, the study of food is not limited to the Shirinji school, but the Shirinji school's system is the most complete and mature.

The rest he had to figure out on his own, but now the system's rewards meant Xu Yong didn't have to worry about that anymore.

After receiving this instruction, Xu Yong only needs to train slowly according to it.

"So this is what it feels like to learn the basics of food. If I were to face a thousand-legged earthworm again now, I could take it down in a single encounter."

After mastering the basics of food etiquette, Xu Yongcai realized just how weak he had been before; it could be said that every movement he made was a constant waste of calories.

He felt several times stronger than before, and this was only the beginning of his understanding of the principles of food. If he reached the mastery level and comprehended the essence of food, Xu Yong dared not imagine how strong he would become.

After experiencing the benefits of the beginner-level food skills, Xu Yong turned his attention to the rewards for Nakiri Erina and Shinoto Hisako.

"There's even such a reward? Well, it's good this way, after all, gourmet cells are the foundation of this world."

Xu Yong remarked that the reward for the two of them was a million-fold increase in the probability of obtaining gourmet cells.

This reward is quite strange for someone who doesn't know how to obtain Gourmet Cells.

In the world of Gourmet Hunter, there are three ways to obtain Gourmet Cells.

The first type is congenital, with Toriko and the three tigers of Stagju being representative figures. They were born with gourmet cells.

The second method involves injecting the substance into the body later in life. The representatives of this method are the ancestors of the demon-eating world, who were once the test subjects of Blue Netero.

Blue Nitro's experiments involved forcibly transplanting Gourmet Cells into people, a method with an extremely high mortality rate. Even those who survived would develop some of the characteristics of the Gourmet Demon.

This trait cannot be eliminated and will be passed on to future generations. This is how the Demon Food World was born. Forcibly transplanting it is basically impossible. Even Blue Netero, who can travel through the universe, cannot do it.

The last type, represented by Komatsu, involves constantly eating all sorts of delicious food, and in this way, there is a certain probability that one can acquire gourmet cells.

However, this method is extremely difficult. In the original work, Komatsu ate countless delicacies and even spent some time in the culinary world. Finally, his culinary cells were forcibly awakened when he was cooking Air.

This also caused Komatsu's heart to be unable to withstand the side effects of the forced awakening.

Regardless of the method, obtaining gourmet cells is extremely difficult, and Xu Yong would never use these methods on the two of them.

The system has now given them this reward, which means that as long as the food they eat next is from the world of Gourmet Captive, there is a chance that they will obtain gourmet cells.

Moreover, this probability has now been amplified a million times, so it is certain that the two will soon obtain gourmet cells.

Furthermore, the risk of awakening the obtained Gourmet Cells is zero, and the awakened Gourmet Demon will have its consciousness erased.

After learning about the rewards offered by the system, Xu Yongdu had to give the system a thumbs up; this system was truly considerate.

Not only did it deliver food cells, it also helped resolve the risks of awakening and the hidden dangers brought by the food demon within the body.

Xu Yong can choose to distribute the rewards to the two directly. After that, the probability of the two obtaining food cells by eating various delicacies will greatly increase.

After all, she was going to be Xu Yong's partner. In the world of Gourmet Devil, a talent for food is indispensable; without it, one can hardly move an inch.

Even though Komatsu has the protagonist's halo, he was later given gourmet cells. Otherwise, in a place like the gourmet world, it would be impossible to get by without gourmet cells.

Xu Yong didn't expect the two to be very strong in combat, but they should at least be able to protect themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't even need the beasts to do anything; extreme environments alone could easily kill them.

Chapter Thirteen: Erina Nakiri: Transmigrated to Another World and Still Have to Go to School?

The next morning, after the two got up, Xu Yong also called them over and told them about the arrangements for them.

"Going to culinary school?!"

Upon hearing Xu Yong's words, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinto exchanged a surprised glance.

“That’s right, it’s about going to school. Although I don’t know how good your cooking skills are, you need to adapt to this world. As chefs, going to a culinary school is undoubtedly the best choice.”

Xu Yong stated that he was aware of the culinary skills in the Food Wars world, and although it was a food-themed anime, it was incomparable to the world of Toriko.

In the world of Gourmet Hunter, chefs are divided into ten star levels, and restaurants are also divided into ten star levels. Of course, ten stars is not the upper limit, but there are so few chefs above ten stars that the chef level in the human world is only divided into ten stars.

According to Xu Yong's estimate, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto's cooking skills would probably only be one or two stars in the world of Toriko, since they are still students in the world of Food Wars.

Moreover, when Xu Yong talked with them before, he found out that the storyline of the Food Wars world had not even started yet. Their cooking skills at this stage were nothing special in the Food Wars world, let alone in this world.

Despite their considerable reputation within the Totsuki Elite Ten of the Food Wars world, their fame is confined to Totsuki. Once outside of Totsuki, these so-called Elite Ten graduates are not particularly significant internationally.

"So, which culinary school are we going to?"

The two did not resist Xu Yong's arrangement, after all, they were also students at school before coming to this world.
