The entirety of Gourmet Town was now in the grip of a rice frenzy. As for Yuuki and the others, they had no idea what was happening outside, and even if they did, they wouldn’t have cared.

At this moment, in Setsuno’s kitchen, the constantly emanating delicious aroma had actually formed an illusory starry sky above the Wulstar Rice.

This was a phenomenon Yuuki had only seen with two other ingredients.

One was the Rainbow Fruit, whose evaporating juice formed a rainbow in mid-air. The other was the Century Soup, which created an aurora phenomenon above the dish upon completion.

Now, the Wulstar Rice was the third such ingredient he had seen. The illusory starry sky it formed was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Yuuki, my boy, looks like you’ve hit the jackpot this time. The rarity of this Wulstar Rice has surpassed the limits of the Human World. Even many ingredients from the Gourmet World can’t compare—"

Setsuno said with a sigh. It was clear that the Wulstar Rice was a Special Preparation Ingredient on par with the Century Soup. Perhaps its effects couldn’t compare, but it was still better than many ingredients from the Gourmet World.

Unfortunately, unlike the Century Soup, to obtain Wulstar Rice again, they would have to wait for Wul Jungle to regrow.

And the Jungle couldn’t be artificially nourished. After all, its area was simply too vast. If planted, a huge expanse of land would become a Plant Hell.

So, to get Wulstar Rice again, they could only wait for the Jungle to grow on its own.

Who knew when it would next mature...

....

The three of them then tasted the Wulstar Rice. Yuuki’s and Nono’s Gourmet Cells immediately activated. As for Setsuno, though her cells didn’t activate, the rice still gave them a slight boost.

She was already very satisfied with this. Her strength couldn’t compare to Acacia’s Disciples, but she was still at a level of several thousand. For her Gourmet Cells to still be able to improve, even if only by a little, was already incredible.

"My cells activated again! I wonder what my cell level is now!"

Yuuki didn’t have an IGO scanner, so he had no way of knowing his exact level. But one thing was certain: his cell level had definitely broken one hundred.

"Your cell level should have surpassed 150. Of course, that’s just your cell level. Your true combat power is certainly much higher."

Setsuno said. Yuuki had mastered Food Honor, learned Food Immersion, and even studied Enbu. This meant his true combat power far exceeded his cell level.

"Over 150? I see!"

Hearing Setsuno, Yuuki nodded. His strength was now enough to enter the Gourmet World, but it was still very dangerous.

So, to be safe, he wouldn’t enter until he had exhausted all the value of the Human World.

There were still many ingredients here that could be effective for him. Though the capture level of Human World ingredients was generally below one hundred, many were very special.

The Rainbow Fruit, BB Corn, Wulstar Rice, Century Soup—which one of these wasn’t incredibly special? Their own capture levels were variable.

"By the way, I also captured some BB Corn."

Yuuki slapped his forehead. He had brought back BB Corn. Taking it out of the package he brought back, he directly began to heat it using his Inferno.

As the temperature gradually rose, Yuuki observed the changes in the corn. As long as it could withstand the high temperature and he could control the temperature change, preparing it wouldn’t be a problem.

Even Toriko had succeeded, though he failed many times in the process. For Yuuki, it was even simpler.

As the temperature steadily increased, the BB Corn began to react, dancing like a tap dancer on his palm.

The next second, the BB Corn shot into the air and, with an explosion, turned into a massive shower of popcorn.

Just as Yuuki was about to collect the popcorn, he suddenly felt the surrounding air pressure change. The BB Corn in mid-air, as if drawn by some force, fell into a giant container.

Seeing this, Yuuki looked at Setsuno. Whether a Chef or a Gourmet Hunter, once their strength reached a certain level, many would use their power to condense suitable cooking utensils for combat.

Toriko had his Fork and Knife, Ichiryu had his chopsticks, Chin Chinchin had his spoon, and Granny Chiyo had her cutting board. As for Setsuno, she also had one: a pressure cooker.

Setsuno could control changes in air pressure, so her techniques were similar to a pressure cooker. Of course, the scale and power couldn’t be described by a mere pressure cooker.

The Pressure Dome she opened by burning her life force could even defend against the aftershocks of Jiro’s techniques. It showed just how powerful the move was.

"BB Corn... it’s been a while since I’ve had this!"

Setsuno said, taking a few kernels and giving one to each of them. She and Nono had already eaten BB Corn before. Her cells were too strong; it no longer had any effect on them.

Nono’s cells had also adapted to it once, so eating it now didn’t bring any change.

Yuuki, on the other hand... his cells, having just activated once, now activated again. Though the boost this time wasn’t as strong as before, as long as his cells activated, it was a good thing.

It had to be said, BB Corn was worthy of being an ingredient from the Gourmet World. Even the beasts there loved it. Even the Battle Wolf, Terry Cloth, who ate nothing, loved it.

Consecutive Cell Activations left Yuuki very satisfied. What he needed was for his strength to continuously increase.

As for the BB Popcorn in his hand, it had to be said, it was truly delicious. The texture was similar to fried potatoes, very soft, and it was incredibly fragrant and sweet.

Yuuki hadn’t gone to the Wul Volcano to get volcanic salt. Though that salt would enhance the flavor of the popcorn, he had a better choice: the Melk Stardust.

The Melk Stardust was an all-purpose seasoning. Using it was much better than the volcanic salt.

And sure enough, after adding the Melk Stardust, the taste became even better. Even Setsuno was eating BB Popcorn like this for the first time. The taste surprised her.

....

Later, Yuuki cut the Wulstar Rice into small portions, leaving some for Setsuno, Jiro, and the others.

The rest, aside from his own share, he took to the IGO branch. He called Mansam and had a portion of the Wulstar Rice sent to the IGO headquarters.

"So this is the Wulstar Rice. A fitting name. It looks like a starry sky, and when cooked, it can even produce an illusory starry sky phenomenon."

At IGO headquarters, after Yuuki sent the rice, Mansam kept a portion for research and sent the rest to Ichiryu.

Ichiryu was also very interested in the Wulstar Rice, so he cooked some to taste. Naturally, the same situation that occurred in Gourmet Town happened again.

"Chef Yuuki is truly amazing. To even discover that Wul Jungle is an ingredient. You know, in all these years, he’s the only one who discovered this."

Mansam marveled at Yuuki’s unreal abilities. Countless people had been to Wul Jungle, but only he had discovered it was an ingredient.

"His talent is terrifying. It seems I’ve still underestimated him."

Ichiryu said with a smile. Though he was also surprised, he didn’t find it strange. This world had never lacked strange experiences, nor did it lack powerful Chefs and Gourmet Hunters.

Whether in the Human World or the Gourmet World, of the ingredients discovered in the past, many were even more peculiar than Wul Jungle, but they were still discovered by people.

"A fine ingredient. Though it’s of no use to me, it’s useful to you guys. Leave this Wulstar Rice for the members of Biotope 0th. Right, and leave some for Toriko and the others. Give it to them when they’re qualified to enter the Gourmet World."

Ichiryu decided how to distribute the rice. Though it was useless to him, it was useful to others. And at their level, improving one’s strength wasn’t easy.

An ingredient like the Wulstar Rice was very precious.

"Also, one more thing. I remember the Jewel Meat is maturing soon, right? The Jewel Meat should be of some help to his Gourmet Cells." _{free.webn\ove(l)(.)c(o)m}

"The research materials in the institute can also be opened to him."

Ichiryu made his decision. Since Yuuki had given them such a good thing, he had to show some gratitude.

"Open all the research materials in the institute to him?!"

Hearing this, Mansam was very surprised. Those materials were only accessible to the high-ranking members of the IGO. Yuuki was an outsider.

Once these materials were opened, it meant all their research results would be accessible to him, and he could also requisition various ingredients from the institute.

It could be said that the authority Ichiryu was giving him was a bit too great. This authority was second only to themselves and the members of Biotope 0th.

"That’s right, open everything to him. He’s worth building a good relationship with."

Ichiryu said with a smile. Mansam understood. The reason for giving Yuuki these rewards wasn’t because the Wulstar Rice had such value—but because Ichiryu intended to get closer to him.

From the talent Yuuki had shown, even if his future wasn’t as great as Acacia’s Disciples, he would become a super Chef no less than Setsuno—or even surpass her.

Faced with a future so bright, it was natural for Ichiryu to have Mansam build a good relationship with him.

....

Understanding Ichiryu’s meaning, Mansam called Yuuki. On one hand, it was to thank him. On the other, it was to invite him to Biotope 1 in a few days to participate in their activities and the capture of the Jewel Meat.

And Mansam also told him about the authority the IGO was opening up to him. This surprised Yuuki. The biotechnology of the IGO was very advanced.

It could be said that though most of the IGO’s things couldn’t be used in other worlds, a very small number could, just like the potion that changed the Polar Star Dormitory that he had fished out before.

The materials for that potion could be found in a normal world, so it could be made. But the more advanced the medicine and technology, the more the required raw materials were things only found in the world of Toriko.

Besides these, Yuuki could now also directly requisition ingredients from the IGO’s ingredient storage. As long as it wasn’t too outrageous, the IGO wouldn’t care.

Yuuki also saw an ingredient he was interested in: Ozone Herb.

Ozone Herb was an ingredient that grew in the Vegetable Sky.

He wasn’t very interested in the Vegetable Sky itself. Though there were many good vegetables up there, what mainly attracted people was the pairing ingredient, Ozone Herb.

But he didn’t dare to just casually run up there. After all, in the original story, Toriko and Komatsu had run into a Blue Nitro there.

If it were a Red Nitro, like the one from the Gourmet Pyramid, he wouldn’t care. But the problem was, the one up there was a Blue Nitro.

The strength of a Blue Nitro far surpassed a Red Nitro. Though they couldn’t contend with Acacia’s Disciples, their combat level was at least over 5,000.

Toriko and the others were really lucky in the original story.

Pair (Nitro) wasn’t interested in them at the time; it was more curious about the Ozone Herb.

After all, it was difficult for the Blue Nitro race to hear the voices of ingredients. It took a lot of time to research a method to prepare an ingredient.

But Komatsu was different. He heard the voice of the ingredient from the start. So after the Ozone Herb was prepared, Pair (Nitro) tasted it.

For a Blue Nitro like Pair, who had eaten who knows how much delicious food, the taste of Ozone Herb was too average, so it spat it out after eating it.

Yuuki wasn’t sure if he would run into it if he went to the Vegetable Sky, so it was better to be cautious. Of course, after Toriko and the others had gone, he might take a trip up there to see if he could run into the Lightning Phoenix.

The Lightning Phoenix was known as the bird of Food Luck. It lived in thunderclouds and moved with them. Anyone who encountered it would become very lucky.

A wedding dress made from its feathers was said to grant a happy marriage to whoever wore it.

This made Yuuki very interested in the Lightning Phoenix. When he had time in the future, he would take a trip up there.

Of course, it had to be after Toriko and Komatsu.

After all, he wasn’t sure when Pair (Nitro) would be in the Vegetable Sky.

So, to avoid it, he had to go later.
