Food Wars, I Come From a World Captured by Food

As he was speaking, Lin Qingzheng's phone rang and he received an email from Starkin.

Oh, is that a gift for me?

Lin Qingzheng took a step and walked quickly towards the door.

"Hoo~!"

As Lin Qingzheng came out, the huge shadow like a mountain in the sky began to move and soon left the city.

Chapter 86: The Stomach of the Gluttonous Goldfish

Ah... is he really gone? What a terrifying man, his strength is no less than mine! "

At this moment, Lin Qingzheng was still looking up at the sky, watching the giant beast in the sky slowly leave.

On the side, Zong Kai, who had been hiding aside and dared not say a word since Sanhu appeared, came out from somewhere again, posing in various bodybuilding poses with a proud look, as if he had driven away the huge existence as big as a city.

"Why don't you leave?"

But Lin Qingzheng didn't even look at him. He went straight to the kitchen door and picked up the small gift box and the thing tied with a red tie on the ground. He felt heavy in his hand. When he opened it, he saw that it was a palm-sized, wrinkled thing, like a dried cow's stomach.

Fortunately, Starkin left him a note: [Lord Sanhu said that this is a food storage box made from the stomach of the [Gluttonous Goldfish].

There's about 5000 square meters of space inside, and the time flow rate inside is 100:1 compared to the real world. I placed the lotus root of the [Earth Core Blue Fire Lotus] inside.

Wow, this...

Lin Qingzheng reached into his stomach, scooping it up with culinary energy. He immediately sensed a similarly wrinkled space, yet vast, like a stadium. It was the [Inner World]! Even within the culinary world, only a handful of exceptionally powerful beings above level 3000 could comprehend this power. Judging by their ability to comprehend the [Inner World] skill, the so-called [Gluttonous Goldfish] must also be above level 3000. And judging by the "small" space and "extremely low" time ratio of this food container, this [Gluttonous Goldfish] must still be a juvenile. Therefore, this thing probably wasn't very valuable, which is why Sanhu casually tossed it to Starkin and then gave it to him. But that "not very valuable" was meant for the powerful beings of their level.

For a small fry like Lin Qingzheng, this thing is a magical tool! - At least, if nothing else, when he goes to the sky-high trade, he won't have to worry about too much and too big goods to handle. - Those extremely perishable seafood can also be sold!

"Chef Lin! Please accompany us to the casino in the Kingdom of Jidal!"

Then, Lin Qing was just looking at the lotus root that was over a meter tall, warm to the touch, and bright red when he heard a series of muffled "dong dong dong!" sounds in front of him. Master Zong Kai had already knelt before him: "Chef Lin, please rest assured, the two of us will definitely protect your safety! We don't know where B is right now, as long as you accompany us to the casino and confirm B's safety, we will immediately confront the casino staff!"

"Please! Please! Chef Lin!"

Next to him, little brother A was also kowtowing madly.

Uh...this...

Facing these two crying and snotty guys, Lin Qingzheng was a little speechless, but considering that the [Kingdom of Jidar] had many precious/banned ingredients that were hard to find on the market, and he himself was also curious about the taste of those gambling ingredients.

In addition, he also wanted to know how strong he would be after being promoted to the extraordinary level.

So, touching the extremely abundant gourmet energy inside the lotus root of the [Earth Core Green Fire Lotus] in his hand, Lin Qingzheng pondered for a while, and cut off a section of the lotus root that was at least two meters long, the length of his forearm, and then he cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, activating the gourmet cell form, feeling the energy that was constantly consumed being replenished by the lotus root slices in his mouth. With a "crunch", he chewed the lotus root slices and swallowed them. Lin Qingzheng even activated the [Breathing] form for about 0.01 seconds.

"Well! Fine then! I'll accompany you to the [Gourmet Casino]!"

Finally, after confirming that his strength could be guaranteed, Lin Qingzheng finally made a decision and agreed to go to the casino with Zong Kai and the others!

"Oh?! Really? That's great!"

When Zong Kai heard that Lin Qingzheng was willing to accompany them to the casino, he jumped up from the ground excitedly, twisting his hips and starting to show off to his younger brother A: "How is it? How is it? Just like what I said, right? When the plot reaches a deadlock like this, even if Noc treats you coldly, you must persist in talking to him!

As long as there are enough conversations and they meet the game's inherent requirements, the plot will naturally progress smoothly!"

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Do you really think I'm an NPC?

Seeing Zong Kai showing off there as if no one was around and enjoying himself, Lin Qingzheng's expression was indescribably helpless.

But there was nothing he could do. He had already promised this guy. Besides, he already knew what kind of character this guy was. So it was difficult to blame him.

——City No. 1, Ecological Zone No. 0, igo headquarters——

"Report...! Report to the President! A Leviathan Whale has appeared in the sky above City 446844!"

A white beach chair is placed on a lush green lawn.

Lying on this beach chair, IGO's president Yilong was basking in the sun, eating chips from the [French Fry Rat], drinking orange juice squeezed from the [Bouncing Orange], smoking a cigarette from a [Cigar Tree] branch he had picked up from the roadside, and looking at the documents in his hand.

Suddenly, a man in a red and blue rugby uniform stumbled in at a full sprint.

As he ran, he held a long-distance photo in his hand: "Mr. President! Someone took a photo! There seems to be a human shadow on the back of the Leviathan Whale!"

"Leviathan Whale?! Is there someone on its back?"

Yilong, who had been lazily lying there, could no longer sit still. With a "boom", he left a Mach loop in his place and rushed in front of the man like a storm. He snatched the photo away and looked at the blurry figure on the whale's back. Yilong's pupils constricted under his sunglasses. "Sanhu! You finally appeared again!"

After saying that, he glanced at the communicator again: "What did you just say? Where was this photo taken?"

"Above City 446844!"

"Above City 446844? There seems to be an abandoned ecological zone there?"

Yilong's brows were furrowed, and a huge aura enveloped the communicator.

"Yes! Yes! That was the construction site of Ecological Zone No. 10! It was later abandoned because of an experimental accident!"

The communicator nodded repeatedly, confirming Yilong's words.

"Oho?! Interesting!"

Yilong casually put out the cigarette in his hand and took off the sunglasses that had slipped down his mouth: "Go and bring me the experimental accident report from that year. By the way, let's see if there are any new restaurants around City 446844 that have chef grading tests!"

"Ah?! President, what are you going to do?"

After hearing Yilong's order, the communicator was stunned for a moment and asked why.

"What's the matter? I'm a nobleman going on a business trip, can't I have something good to eat?"

Yilong glared at that moment.

The correspondent hurriedly explained, "No, that's not it! I mean, you can definitely go to a star-rated restaurant to eat! Why do you have to get involved in a chef grading test? Their levels vary, and what if one of them pollutes your mouth..."

"Bullshit! What do you mean by dirtying my mouth?"

Upon hearing his words, Yilong's face immediately turned ugly. "As long as it's a dish, as long as it's food, there's no such thing as high or low! I, your family's president, have even eaten real grass! Let alone the passionate and meticulous preparations of these new chefs?!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll check it out right now!"

Chapter 87: Qiao Ya, the Dark Cook

“Buzz…Buzz…!”

Hello, Chef Lin, we are from the IGO Industrial and Commercial Administration. We would like to inform you that your grading tester has been temporarily changed. The new tester is [Mr. Yinan]. Here is his photo. The assessment time remains unchanged, Monday at 10:00 AM. Please meet us promptly.

At this moment, on the other side, in city No. 446844, Lin Qingzheng had just cut the lotus root slices of the [Earth Core Green Fire Lotus] into thin slices and packed them. Before he set foot on the [New Dry Shark], his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an email from igo to temporarily replace the grading test evaluator. Along with the email, there was also a photo. In the photo, a tall old man in a gold-striped shirt, with a straight body, wrinkled face, and gray hair, wearing a pair of sunglasses, was smiling at the camera and making a "yeah" gesture.

Uh... this old guy...

Why does he look so much like Igo’s president Yilong!

Honestly, the more I look at them, the more they resemble each other! Especially after meeting the big boss of the Food Club, Sanhu. You know, these old guys in the Food Prisoner World can actually adjust their appearance and age at any time!

Looking at the straight back, slightly dark skin and sunglasses, Lin Qingzheng really felt that the old guy in the photo might be Yilong, the president of igo.

But that is something he needs to consider in a few days. Right now, he has only one goal.

[Kingdom of Jedal], [Gourmet Casino]!

Gambling ingredients! Here I come!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As the old steam train swayed forward, finally, before dark, Lin Qingzheng and his companions entered the [Gambling City], [Nebi], the capital of the [Kingdom of Jedal]!

"Wow! Bling Bling!"

After passing through the dark and eerie border tunnel, and then through the dilapidated rural suburbs where not even light bulbs were available, they finally entered the capital of the [Kingdom of Jeddar], the magnificent and brightly lit [city that never sleeps], [Nebi].

This city is very...how should I put it.

All that glitters is rotten?

But in the alleys full of ragged poor people, what they sell to each other are the forbidden ingredients [Electric Bananas] with a capture level of 6 and the table salt [Fantasy Crystal Salt] with a capture level of 5.

There were even super-rare ingredients like the [Poisoned Puffer Whale], whose original capture level was as high as 29. Of course, because it was already poisoned, the capture level was reduced to 1, but that was still a rare find!

In the market outside, you can't even see puffer whales!

In addition, the capture level 5 [Gunpowder Dragonfly] and the capture level 7 [Grenade Melon].

Well, Lin Qingzheng bought a lot of these things. — Because they were so cheap, a [Gunpowder Dragonfly] only cost 20! This is a level 5 ingredient! — Although its level is mostly in the difficulty of cooking.

As for the [Poisoned Puffer Whale], 100 yuan each is really unbelievably cheap.

Lin Qingzheng bought a lot of [Poisoned Puffer Whale] and filled up his storage space. On the one hand, he planned to take it back for dissection and practice understanding the body structure of creatures like [Puffer Whale].

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzheng was planning to return and test whether he, in his [God's Chef] form, could remove the toxins that had already spread from the [Poisoned Puffer Whale]! Yao Die's successful cooking of pufferfish liver and his use of it to defeat the fantasy ingredient had taught Lin Qingzheng a lesson: a true chef would never give up on an ingredient easily!

If even the pufferfish liver, which is almost equivalent to the poison sac itself, can be cooked into a delicious delicacy, then what else is impossible?

He even believed that as long as he brought the [Poisoned Puffer Whale] to the Food Wars world, those gluttons who loved fresh food would rush to find a way to detoxify the [Puffer Whale]!

Of course, it is only because he cannot get the perfect [Golden Puffer Whale] now that he is interested in studying this [Poisoned Puffer Whale] and researching the detoxification method.

Otherwise, he would have nothing better to do than waste his time on this kind of thing!

Therefore, things like the "Poison Star" and "Poison Snail", which are powerful killer weapons that can poison millions of people in a city, causing them to lose their minds, become insane, and turn into zombies, are not considered food at all.

He declined even more politely. Perhaps these things were actually some super-special cooking ingredients that could be used properly as long as they were cooked in a certain way, but Lin Qingzheng had no interest in doing that. He simply wanted to be one of the strongest people in the world, not some freak scientist who loved researching toxic ingredients.

"Hello! Hello! Chef Lin, have you... have you... have you bought anything?"

At this time, Zong Kai and A, who came out of the narrow and dark alley and witnessed Lin Qingzheng buying so many extremely dangerous and forbidden ingredients with a sneer on his face, were all looking at him in fear, fearing that if they said something wrong, he would force them to eat some poisonous ingredients.

"Okay! Of course!" Lin Qingzheng nodded, raised his head, and looked at the magnificent casino in front of him: "Is this it? [Jidal*Food*Royal Casino]!"

"Yes, that's right!"

Little Brother A took out his phone and said, "They told us to wait at the casino entrance and someone would come to meet us."

"Hi! Hello everyone, may I ask if you are the Gourmet Hunter [Zombie]?"

Then, before little brother A finished speaking, two strange men in striped robes and masked hats with countless beads hung on them walked out from the door of the magnificent food casino. They walked up to them, and one of them bowed slightly and spoke to Zong Kai in a soft female voice.

"It's [Zong Kai]! Not [Zong Bi]!

Facing this guy who called him by the wrong name, Master Zong Kai was almost driven mad with rage. He immediately took off the battle axe on his back and slammed it into the ground. "The [Chef Lin] you're looking for is right here! Where's my little brother B? Let him out now!!"

"Hmm!"

However, Zong Kai's slashing blow and roar didn't frighten the hooded figure, who looked like a woman. Instead, it made her laugh. She covered her mouth slightly, turned her head, and "looked" at Lin Qingzheng: "Sir, are you really the tycoon [Chef Lin] who suddenly sold over 30 tons of gold in a month, making a profit of over 1 trillion yuan and quickly climbing into the top 50 of the world's richest list?"

"it's me!"

Lin Qingzheng spread his hands and said, "If you can invite me to this damn place, then you should be able to verify my identity, right? Am I right? [Dark Cook], Mr. Qiao Ya!"

"Ah! Were you discovered again? I've even changed my voice to a female one and brought a companion who's about my size, but you still recognized me!"

Seeing that Lin Qingzheng had exposed his identity, Qiao Ya stopped pretending and replaced the voice that originally belonged to [Froze] with his own mature male voice: "Can you tell me how I was exposed? I think I did it perfectly."

Chapter 88 Lunar Cuisine Menu

“It’s simple, a person’s appearance and looks can be changed.

However, the strength of the gourmet cells that make up his body remains unchanged."

Facing Qiao Ya's question, Lin Qingzheng quietly stuffed a piece of lotus root into his mouth, and then for a moment he transformed into the [God's Cook] form: "How is it? Do you still need to verify my identity?"

"!! What is this?! No, no, of course not."

Obviously, facing Lin Qingzheng in the form of [God's Chef], even with the hood on, Qiao Ya was stunned for a moment, then took off the hood and laughed heartily: "I said, as one of the world's top billionaires, how could the level of your cells be so low!

I see. May I ask, what is your real name?"

"The Overlord of the Universe, Boros!"

Lin Qingzheng glanced at him, ignored the guy's temptation, and casually gave Boros's name to the food spirit living in his body.

"Oh~!"

Qiao Ya let out a long "Oh" and turned around, inviting Lin Qingzheng into the Gourmet Casino. "Then please come in, Chef Lin! On behalf of our [Food Gensokyo], I welcome you to join us!"

"[Food Gensokyo]? meo?"

Although Lin Qingzheng had been prepared for this when Qiao Ya appeared, he was still startled when he heard the name [neo] from Qiao Ya. Fortunately, he concealed his surprise well, successfully turning his surprise into confusion: "What is that? I've never heard of its name before."

Please come in! Please follow me, I have prepared a table full of food, we can eat and chat. "

Qiao Ya's face was full of smiles. "I can assure you that once you know what kind of organization NEO is, you will definitely be interested."
