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

Upon arriving in this world, everything was unfamiliar to them, and after learning about the extraordinary abilities of the chefs in this world, they naturally felt a longing for it.

Moreover, they can't go back now, since they came here inexplicably, and Xu Yong has no way to help them.

So studying here for a while before finding a way back is indeed a good option.

"This is the place, Zhongmei Culinary Academy. I'll use my connections to get Chef Jin to give you as much attention as possible."

Xu Yong retrieved the information about Zhongmei Culinary Academy, which is the best culinary academy in the Food Wars world.

"A chef ranked tenth in the world, is that really possible?"

Upon seeing Chef Jin's message, both of them widened their eyes. Although they had been traveling these past few days, they had also visited many restaurants with Xu Yong.

They knew very well how skilled the chefs here were. In their eyes, let alone the tenth-ranked chefs, the top 100 chefs were undoubtedly super big shots, and they didn't think they could ever come into contact with them.

It turns out that the place Xu Yong is sending them to has a chef ranked tenth, and Xu Yong is even able to use his connections to get Chef Jin to pay more attention to them, which is something they didn't expect.

"Aren't you underestimating me a bit? In the human world, every field has its representative figures. The representative figures among the Reincarnation Masters are my master and Zuo, as well as Mo Yang Xiu Xiu, one of the national treasures of the human world."

"Beyond the representatives in various fields, there is also a highly promising young generation that is receiving much attention. There are currently three representatives of the young generation among the Regenerators. The first is my senior brother Tie Ping, the second is Mo Yang Xiu Xiu's apprentice Pu Jin, and the third is me."

Xu Yong said with a smile that he has a high talent in the field of regeneration, and with the perfect gourmet cells given to him by the system, his potential is quite amazing.

The three of them are the most representative among the younger generation of Regeneration Masters. In other words, as long as they don't die prematurely, they will inevitably grow to the same level as He Yuzuo and Mo Yangxiuxiu.

In the world of Toriko, regenerators also have the duties of doctors. Although strong people like Yi Long don't really need regenerators, every family has a few descendants.

Just like when Toriko was injured in the Ice Hell, his own healing ability was not enough to regenerate his severed limbs, so he had to go to Yosaku.

Furthermore, the desserts among the eight ingredients in the later stages were also created with the help of the regenerated flower field; otherwise, the desserts would not have been created without the flower field.

While Regenerators are not as numerous as Gourmet Hunters and Chefs in this world, they are still a very important group.

As one of the best among the younger generation, Xu Yong's network of connections is naturally strong, and he also has connections with others.

After listening to Xu Yong's words, the two women gained a new understanding of him. They were incredibly fortunate to have met Xu Yong when they came to this world; their luck was off the charts.

"There's one more thing, it's about gourmet cells..."

Xu Yong told the two how to obtain food cells, mainly to prepare them mentally. After all, with the system's reward, it was normal for them to obtain food cells even if they only ate one meal.

"In other words, the only way we can obtain Gourmet Cells is by eating all kinds of delicious food, and whether we can obtain Gourmet Cells in this way depends entirely on our luck?"

After listening to Xu Yong's words, the two also made a summary: it seemed that there were three methods, but in fact there was only one.

They are born with a natural talent for food, and there's no way to recreate it, so this option is simply impossible. As for forced injections, that's even more impossible.

Putting aside the absurdly high mortality rate, even if they were lucky enough to succeed, they would become monsters, and they didn't want that.

"That's right, it all depends on your luck."

Xu Yong nodded, reminding the two that if they suddenly awakened their culinary talents while studying at the academy, they shouldn't panic too much.

In the following days, Xu Yong did not take the two directly to Zhongmei Culinary Academy. Instead, he took them to the Healing Country for a few days and also contacted Chef Jin.

Chef Jin was naturally very pleased to hear that Xu Yong was going to send his partner there to learn.

After all, Xu Yong was a highly promising regenerator, and his master was one of the strongest regenerators. It would be best to get Xu Yong's favor, so Chef Jin naturally agreed immediately.

After a few days of playing, Xu Yong took the two to Zhongmei Culinary Academy.

Zhongmei Culinary Academy is located near the Food City, in the central area of ​​the human world, and not far from the Healing Kingdom, so it only takes about half a day to get there by plane.

All I can say is that the Earth in the world of Toriko is truly enormous. Even just the human realm is much larger than the normal Earth, so a distance that can be reached in half a day by plane is already considered relatively close.

Chapter Fourteen: The Two's Cooking Skills

"Is this the Zhongmei Culinary Academy? It doesn't feel quite the same as we imagined!"

Looking at the simple and cozy campus in front of them, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto had somewhat strange expressions.

After all, Zhongmei Culinary Academy is the best culinary academy in the human world. In their imagination, the buildings of this culinary school should be incredibly luxurious, but now they look completely different from luxurious.

In this respect, Chungmei Culinary Academy and Totsuki Culinary Academy are completely opposite, which is actually due to the different philosophies of their founders.

The Nakiri family founded Totsuki Culinary Academy to train elites, and they used a method akin to raising poisonous insects to cultivate them. This resulted in 99% of the students being eliminated, leaving only 1% or even less than 1% to succeed.

On the contrary, the philosophy of Chung Mei Culinary Academy is to cultivate talent. As long as students pass the assessment and enter the academy, the teachers will do their best to teach them until graduation and will not give up on any of them.

"Although Zhongmei Culinary Academy doesn't look very fancy, all its kitchen equipment is top-notch; they don't care about appearances."

Xu Yong said with a smile, and at the same time, someone had come to pick them up.

According to the other party, Chef Jin originally planned to come and pick them up in person, but unfortunately, Chef Jin had classes, so he could only temporarily receive the three of them.

Not long after we sat down with Chef Jin, she arrived. She was a very kind-looking old lady who gave off a friendly vibe at first glance.

This special feeling is also because Chef Jin herself is a very easy-going and kind person.

"Long time no see, Chef Jin!"

Upon seeing Chef Jin enter, Xu Yong quickly stood up. Although he was indeed talented, that was no reason to be arrogant. He naturally had to be polite to such a senior figure in the culinary world.

"Hello, Chef Jin!"

Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto quickly stood up and greeted Chef Sumire as well.

"No need to be so polite. Introduce me to your partners. I didn't expect you to have two partners at once!"

Chef Jin was also somewhat surprised. In the culinary world, partners are usually in pairs. Although there are also pairs, they are very rare. She had hardly ever seen any. She never expected that Xu Yong would find two partners at once.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yong quickly introduced the two to Chef Jin.

"Let's go to the kitchen and take a look at their basic skills first!"

After chatting for a few minutes, Chef Jin led everyone directly to the kitchen, as she needed to see how well the two of them cooked.

If it were a regular student, this would be something other teachers would do, but since Erina Nakiri and the other person were brought by Xu Yong, Chef Sumire naturally had to take it seriously.

Although they were a little nervous, they each started making their own dishes.

"The two of them have a very weak understanding of ingredients!"

Chef Jin noticed the problem from the very beginning.

"That's right. The place they lived in before didn't have much contact with the outside world. They basically used some low-grade ingredients, so they didn't know much about ingredients."

Xu Yong nodded. These two were from the Food Wars world, although they had also learned quite a bit about the Toriko world during this time.

However, some things cannot be mastered just by talking about them. For example, the ingredients in the human world are very different from those in the Food Wars world.

This difference is not just a difference in class; the two of them are now essentially starting from scratch to learn about the ingredients of this world.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know the characteristics of the ingredients, so they would be completely lost when cooking, and wouldn't even know how to process the ingredients.

The ingredients they are now choosing are ones they have been exposed to recently, but even so, they are not particularly familiar with them.

This is quite a troublesome situation, and Xu Yong has no way to solve it. He either has to wait for the system to issue a special reward, or see if the awakening of the food cells can speed up their learning.

Otherwise, we can only rely on time to slowly wear it down.

"I see. No wonder they seemed so unfamiliar with handling ingredients, but at least they had some basic skills."

Chef Jin also noticed the two's knife skills. It was obvious that they had been training since they were young, and their basic skills were quite good for their age.

Chef Jin is also a little curious now, which is why Xu Yong chose these two as his partners.

Given Xu Yong's status and position, if he wanted a partner, there would be plenty of outstanding chefs willing to offer their services.

However, Xu Yong chose two chefs with mediocre culinary skills and only passable talent as his partners.

Of course, she couldn't ask that question directly.

Soon, the two finished their meal, and Chef Sumire also tasted it.

"Shinoto's cooking only gets one star, while Nakiri's barely makes it to two stars!"

After tasting it, Chef Jin gave his evaluation, which left the two of them feeling quite helpless.

After all, back in Totsuki Academy, Erina Nakiri was one of the Elite Ten, and her cooking skills ranked among the top ten in the entire school. Although Hisako Shinoto was not as good as Erina Nakiri, she was still among the top ten of her class.

However, once you get here, the cooking skills are only one star or barely two stars, which is completely at the bottom of the culinary world.

It's not fair to say they're too weak. The gap between worlds is stark. Xu Yong estimates that even the strongest group in the Food Wars world would be questionable if they were placed in this world to compete with four- or five-star chefs.

"I will design a suitable learning curriculum for them. By the way, Xu Yong, you should have already mastered the art of food!"

Chef Jin suddenly asked a question. Upon hearing this, Xu Yong nodded directly. He wasn't surprised that his knowledge of food etiquette had been discovered.

Because almost all the top-ranked chefs have mastered the art of cooking, and some of them have a very deep understanding of it.

Xu Yong also noticed this. After learning the principles of food, he always felt that other people's movements were very stiff.

Whether it's eating, walking normally, or doing other things.

This is because those who have mastered the principles of food are influenced by them in every action, making their movements more coordinated and reducing the energy expenditure required for each action.

Therefore, it's easy to tell at a glance whether someone has learned the meaning of food.

Although Xu Yong had only just entered the realm of culinary arts, his various movements had been optimized after entering the realm. With Chef Jin's expertise in culinary arts, it was natural to see that Xu Yong had already mastered the art.

Chapter Fifteen: Chef Violet's Request, Deep Within the Beach Cave

"Now that you have mastered the art of food, I have a request for you."

Chef Jin spoke up, which surprised Xu Yong. He knew that if he was given a task at this time, he would do it if he could, but that would waste his goodwill.

This time, he took the initiative to approach Chef Sumire and used his connections to get Erina Nakiri and the others into the Nakame Culinary Academy.

Otherwise, given their circumstances, they simply wouldn't be able to pass the assessment. It's true that Zhongmei Culinary Academy is very responsible towards its students and won't abandon any of them, but the prerequisite is that you must be able to pass the assessment to become a member of Zhongmei Culinary Academy.

Zhongmei Culinary Academy, as the best culinary academy in the human world, has only a few thousand students in total. Such a number is pitifully small compared to the hundreds of billions of people in the human world.

Although not everyone in the human world is a chef, nor does everyone want to enter Zhongmei Culinary Academy, there are still quite a few people who take the exam every year.

Therefore, Xu Yong owed Chef Jin a great favor by bringing the two of them in.

After thinking it over, Xu Yong suddenly realized that once he put himself in Chef Jin's shoes, he found that this favor was actually not important.

After all, favors are a consumable commodity. If I ask you for a favor today, I owe you one. The next time you ask me for a favor, the favor will naturally be repaid.

Generally speaking, if the person who owes you a favor is a very capable person who is on the rise, then you won't use up that favor quickly. Instead, you'll save it up and use it later when the other person has reached a certain level of success.

However, this is on the premise that one is in a weaker position. If one's status is always higher than the other party's, then this favor is actually dispensable and does not need to be valued so much.

That's the situation now. Xu Yong's potential is indeed very strong, but Chef Jin is also a top ten chef, already standing at the top of chefs in the human world.

Therefore, Xu Yong's favor is not that important, and now we can use up this favor by directly commissioning him, which will also win Xu Yong's favor.

This goodwill is far more effective than any so-called one-off favor.

Having figured this out, Xu Yong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "They're all seasoned veterans; their minds are indeed quite meticulous."

"You said that as long as I have the ability, I will accept this commission."

Xu Yong nodded. Now that he had guessed Chef Jin's plan, he was naturally happy to build a good relationship with Chef Jin.

After all, more people might be sent over in the future. Since Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinomiya, both from the Food Wars world, have appeared, will people from other Food Wars worlds appear? Or will people from other worlds appear?

Xu Yong didn't know why they appeared in this world, but he knew that such a situation could happen again, and he would definitely invite the suitable people to be his partners.

If their situations are similar to those of Erina Nakiri, then they will definitely continue to be sent here.

Even if no one else comes, it would still be very good to have a good relationship with a chef like Chef Sumire.

"You probably know something about this commission. The beach caves and the pufferfish spawning season are approaching. You'll definitely be going to catch pufferfish whales, right?"

Chef Jin asked.

“That’s right, pufferfish whales are a very rare ingredient, so I will definitely go. But Chef Sumire probably doesn’t need any more pufferfish whales!”

Xu Yong asked with some doubt, "Although pufferfish whales spawn only once every ten years, some powerful individuals can still encounter and capture them in the deep sea."

Although the number is extremely small, given Chef Sumire's connections, it shouldn't be difficult for her to obtain pufferfish whales under normal circumstances.

“It’s not just the pufferfish whale. The pufferfish whale is only part of this commission. The other thing I need is deep in the caves on the beach.”

Chef Jin spoke up, and Xu Yong understood what she meant.

He was very familiar with the beach caves, after all, the pufferfish whales spawn in the beach caves once every ten years.

However, this is only what the world knows. In fact, there is another very valuable thing deep in the beach cave.

The beaches where pufferfish whales lay their eggs are located in the middle of a labyrinth of beach caves.
