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

Mirajane couldn't help but ask, "The power of other worlds always has some kind of threshold."

"That's right, you just need to join a clan and become a member, but it's not an easy thing to level up."

Ais nodded.

"So, Miss Ais, besides increasing strength, does the grace of God also extend lifespan?"

Mirajane asked the question that concerned her the most.

"Extending lifespan? I'm not really sure about that, but there's a rumor in Orario that the Grace of God is said to be the path to the realm of the gods, but so far, no one has been able to develop the Grace of God to its limit."

Upon hearing this, Mirajane's eyes lit up. Divine grace was the key to becoming stronger, and it had no barriers to entry. Most importantly, it might be the path to the realm of the gods, which was exactly what she needed. Or rather, it wasn't what she needed, but what her family, including Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto's families, needed.

Previously, they had also thought about getting gourmet cells for their family members, but the difficulty of obtaining gourmet cells was too high, and the methods Xu Yong used on them could not be used on others.

Therefore, obtaining gourmet cells is incredibly difficult. Magic in the Fairy Tail world requires a source of magic power, which is not available in the bodies of people from other worlds.

Xu Yong and the others awakened their magic by absorbing the properties of magic power through the food cells.

Similarly, the same applies to the world of Bleach. The development of the world of Bleach is very slow, but it is still a path.

If one's lifespan is about to end, then one can simply go to the world of death and become a death god, thus having a long time to live.

However, a new path has now emerged.

Mirajane also needs to follow this path, because she knows very well that although her younger siblings all know magic, they are still somewhat weak in it.

Even at Makarov's level, magic cannot extend lifespan. Even Worode's long lifespan is due to the special magic he possesses, but there is a price to pay: he has become a treant.

Hades uses the magic power constantly provided by the demon's heart to sustain his life, but even so, it can only extend his lifespan for a period of time.

Although Elfman and Lisanna are still very young, Mirajane has already begun to consider this issue.

If divine grace can lead to godhood, then that would undoubtedly be excellent news. According to Ais, in her world, even if the gods sealed their powers, their lifespans were still infinite.

As for Rukia Kuchiki, she didn't consider that issue, since Shinigami have very long lifespans, and the stronger the Shinigami, the longer their lifespan.

Just looking at the old man in the mountain made me furious. He's thousands of years old, and those guys from the Zero Division, even the youngest one, Kiryu Hikifune, is already hundreds of years old.

So she doesn't need to think about this aspect, but Mirajane, Erina Nakiri, and Hisako Shinoto do.

Afterwards, Xu Yong and the others discussed the situation of this world with Ais, including the fact that Xu Yong could send her back.

"Can we go back? That would be wonderful!"

Hearing that Xu Yong had a way to send them back, Ais breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, the time flow is different in the two worlds. You haven't been here for long. When you go back, you'll probably only have been missing for less than a day."

Mirajane offered a word of comfort, and upon hearing this, Ais's last remaining concerns vanished.

"Um... I have another question."

With her concerns gone, Ais naturally began to consider other things.

"what is the problem?"

Everyone looked at Ais.

"I want to know how you acquired your gourmet cells. Chef Gigi said yesterday that you are very strong, but you are also from another world."

When Ais first arrived in Blue Greer, she had already witnessed some of the powerful beings there.

She couldn't even see the speed at which a skilled chef cooked; the speed was simply too fast. Moreover, they could casually toss a dish several kilometers away and land it precisely on the customer's plate.

During this time, she encountered many beings stronger than herself. She also asked Gigi how to become stronger, and Gigi's answer was Gourmet Cells. Gigi also told Ais how to obtain Gourmet Cells.

After hearing these methods, Ais almost gave up, but during the chat last night, she noticed that Gigi said that everyone's strength was very high and their food cells had been developed to an extremely high level.

If Gigi hadn't been there last night, she would have asked the question directly. Now that Gigi has left, she finally has the opportunity to inquire.

Chapter 114 A New Partner, Life Level Elevated Again

Xu Yong wasn't surprised by Ais's words. He had watched the anime "Dungeon Encounters" and knew why Ais wanted to become stronger—she wanted revenge.

Becoming stronger has become Ais's obsession. Over the years, Ais has risked her life to venture into dungeons in order to become stronger. Although she has improved very quickly, it has also made the Loki Familia very helpless.

After arriving in this world, Ais witnessed some powerful beings, so how could she not want to become stronger? However, she had already asked Gigi and learned how to obtain gourmet cells.

However, the method of obtaining it was too difficult, so Ais had almost given up. But now, the arrival of Xu Yong and others has given her renewed hope.

Why are you so eager to become stronger? Are you in some kind of trouble in your world?

After hearing Ais's words, Mirajane and Rukia Kuchiki also realized that Ais was eager to become stronger, and that Ais seemed to be bad at communicating with people, otherwise she wouldn't have asked the question so directly.

"There's no trouble, it's just about revenge..."

Ais told everyone about some things from her past.

“I see. No wonder you’re so eager to gain power, Mr. Xu Yong.”

Mirajane looked at Xu Yong. Although they knew how to obtain the gourmet cells, they still needed Xu Yong to speak up.

"I do have a way to obtain gourmet cells, but..."

Having another partner meant more power for Xu Yong, so he naturally didn't mind and directly told Ais what she needed to give up to obtain the Gourmet Cells.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ais said she agreed.

The speed at which she agreed left everyone speechless, and everyone knew just how strong her desire for power was.

The others didn't try to dissuade her too much, partly because following Xu Yong would indeed not treat her badly; on the contrary, she would have made a great deal, since they knew how good Xu Yong was to his people.

On the other hand, everyone understands the principle that one should not advise others to do good without having experienced their suffering; they have no right to plan other people's lives.

"Since you've agreed, you'll be my partner from now on. Let's try acquiring some gourmet cells!"

After receiving the system's notification, Xu Yong took out a lot of ingredients he had obtained in the human world. With the system's support, Ais's difficulty in obtaining gourmet cells would be reduced to the minimum.

While Ais was eating, Xu Yong 083 checked the rewards for Ais becoming a partner.

"An advancement in life level? So that's what it is."

Upon seeing the reward, Xu Yong immediately absorbed it, and his life level began to advance to a higher level once again.

However, Xu Yong soon discovered that the life level increase rewarded by the system was completely different from the one he had received before.

Or rather, it's a difference in quantity. If the previous transformation of life level was 1, then this time it's 10, a full ten times stronger.

At this moment, Xu Yong felt that he was capable of fighting the Eight Kings. He hadn't even eaten any of the Eight Kings' ingredients yet, but he already possessed such strong strength.

If he were to consume eight more ingredients, he would become so powerful that he himself couldn't even imagine.

The transformation at the level of life did not cause Xu Yong any major changes, because he could control his body, thus directly resetting the changes that would have occurred during the transformation to zero.

After his life level transformed, Xu Yong turned his attention to Ais.

As she ate one ingredient after another, Ais soon gained gourmet cells, and those cells awakened.

"So powerful! It's only just acquired the Gourmet Cells, yet it's already become this strong."

Ais discovered that the enhancement brought by the Gourmet Cells was far more terrifying than she had imagined. Although the enhancement brought by the newly awakened Gourmet Cells was not as strong as her LV5 strength, it was not much different.

This is only after awakening; if she continues to improve, she doesn't know how strong she will become.

"Your culinary talent has awakened. While we're at it, I'll take you on a trip to the other two worlds so you can integrate their energy characteristics. That way, you'll also be able to enter the Soul World."

"The flow of time in the Soul World is completely different from that in the outside world. Although Gourmet Cells can be enhanced by eating delicious food, you still need to continuously improve your control over the power in order to unleash the full power of Gourmet Cells."

"Learning how to control your power is a very difficult thing, but once you enter the world of souls, you will be able to keep up with us quickly, or at least you won't fall too far behind."

Xu Yong spoke up, saying that the existence of the Soul World was indeed very important, since newcomers were far behind others when they arrived.

Putting everything else aside, Xu Yong and the others have all mastered the art of food, and at a fairly high level. But Ais, she doesn't even know how to use the "Life-Slaying" move.

While there are ways to conceal one's presence in the dungeon world, they are far too crude compared to the techniques used in Toriko.

When Ais fused with the gourmet cells, Xu Yong also checked Ais's condition and found that Ais did not have the leader slime's cells in her body.

Xu Yong guessed that the consciousness of the leader slime was always with Yi Long. Although Blue Greer had clones of the leader slime everywhere, he would not actively enter other people's bodies without his control.

The most crucial point is that Ais is an outsider. In Blue Greer, it's not an easy thing for an outsider to appear.

Therefore, her body was not parasitized by the leader slime.

At this moment, Xu Yong was not worried about whether the gourmet cells in Ai Si's body would attract Gigi's attention. Even if they did, so what?

The reward brought by Ais was truly amazing, directly raising Xu Yong's life level by such a huge amount at once.

Xu Yong now possesses the strength to fight the Eight Kings. Although it's hard to say he'll win for sure, his combat power has surpassed that of Blue Netero.

On the entire planet, there are only a handful of people who can pose a threat to him, and in terms of survival ability, Xu Yong is far superior to all of them.

So even if Gigi discovers the extra gourmet cells in Ais's body, it won't matter, since Gigi is now on the side of humanity, not on the side of Blue Netero.

Many things had to be kept secret before because Xu Yong didn't have enough strength, but now, Xu Yong has the confidence, and once Another finishes cooking, Xu Yong's strength will increase dramatically again.

At that time, his strength will rival that of the three strongest beings in the human realm, and surpassing them will only be a matter of time.

In the time that followed, the group taught Ais how to adapt to this power while also listening to Ais talk about some things in Orario.

After all, it's difficult to explain the affairs of a world in just a few words. In addition, Xu Yong also took Ais to the world of Bleach and the world of Fairy Tail, allowing Ais's gourmet cells to fuse the characteristics of the two worlds.

And so it wasn't until nightfall that Gigi returned, but when he saw Ais, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Gourmet cells? And they've even awakened?! How is that possible?!"

Gigi noticed the Gourmet Cells appearing on Ais's body. He couldn't imagine how the Gourmet Cells appeared on Ais's body, let alone how they had awakened.

And judging from this, it doesn't seem to be caused by a forced injection of gourmet cells, otherwise even if Ais survived, she would have experienced significant side effects.

However, Ais is now no different from someone who was born with a talent for food, a change that is completely beyond Gigi's comprehension.

Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto naturally knew what had happened. The fact that they were able to obtain Gourmet Cells in such a short time without any side effects was undoubtedly because Ais had become Xu Yong's partner.

"Until now, we have never found a way to perfectly transplant gourmet cells into the human body artificially, so you have done it?"

The only person Gigi could think of was Xu Yong. It couldn't be that Ais gained gourmet cells just because she ate some good ingredients.

"Some special methods were used, but these methods can only be used on specific people, just like people who are born with a talent for food. Such people are very rare, and we have only encountered a few so far."

Xu Yong's words weren't exactly wrong. Indeed, only by gaining the system's approval could one awaken their gourmet cells for a short period through system rewards.

It wouldn't work for anyone else; saying it's a special constitution doesn't really make any difference.

"Special physique? That's incredible. None of you had better tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise, once it gets to those guys' ears, you'll become their targets!"

Gigi spoke up.

"Chef Gigi must be talking about Blue Nitro. I know some things about Blue Nitro, after all, the ancestors of the people in the Demon Food World became like this because of those guys."

"We will naturally not tell anyone about this."

Xu Yong nodded. Actually, he wasn't afraid of those blue Neteros anymore. Although it would be difficult for him to deal with them if they swarmed at him, dealing with one or two was a piece of cake.

They're not stupid; they certainly wouldn't blurt out such things.

As for Gigi, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone, since it would definitely attract Blue Netero's attention if it got out. Those guys were busy dealing with Acacia's affairs and had no time to pay attention to them.

Gigi didn't want to force Blue Netero's gaze onto them.

"That's good. But you guys are really amazing. The Blue Neteros have been researching this method for countless years without success. Although it requires people with special physiques, it's still quite remarkable."

Gigi said he was indeed quite shocked, but he didn't ask how they did it. It's their secret, and even if he knew, what could he do? So he simply didn't ask any more questions.

However, he now thinks Ais is a very lucky person. Although he doesn't know how she accidentally entered the food world, he found her after entering it.

In addition, she also obtained food cells after meeting Xu Yong and others. If he hadn't been able to observe food luck, he would have thought that Ais's food luck was off the charts.

The next day, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinomiya went to study with Gigi as usual, while Xu Yong led the remaining people to the dungeon world.

Although Ais hasn't been in this world for long—according to the flow of time, she hasn't even been missing for a single day—it would still be better to go back and let them know.

The combat power in the dungeon world is polarized, with gods on one side and other life forms on the other.

Powerful gods possess the ability to destroy everything directly, almost like exploding a star, but it takes a long time. Xu Yong is not afraid of these so-called gods now.

These gods have now sealed their divine power, and even if their divine power were not sealed, Xu Yong's strength would be enough to easily deal with these guys.

Moreover, Xu Yong, whose life level has been raised so much, is not afraid of these gods using curses or other tricks against him. With his extremely high life level, these tricks are completely useless against him.

In other words, Xu Yong is basically invincible in the dungeon world.

So there's nothing to worry about when you get to that world. Besides, there's nothing wrong with telling Loki about your world travel; Loki is just a fun-loving guy.

Even if she knew about this, she wouldn't tell the other gods, since it concerned Ais.
