Zongeh's operation made everyone else lose interest. After all, they had used so many methods, yet the capture level of their apples was only so little.
And look at Zongeh. One fart had produced such a high-level apple, though probably very few people would dare to buy it.
The news from here had probably already spread. So, the high-level Surprise Apples that appeared on the market next, probably no one would care about.
Who would like to eat a fruit that had been steeped in farts?
Toriko and the others picked a few apples and then chose to leave.
Yuuki found that G7 master and had his own apple re-appraised. The result he got this time was that it was over level ninety.
This level instantly washed away the master's uncomfortable feelings. You know, before, only three people could raise the level of the Surprise Apple to over ninety.
So for Yuuki to have done it now was an incredibly shocking thing.
This time, he had used his Ki to modify these apples.
Later, he collected a lot of apples. These were all scared after he had modified them. The level of each fruit was over ninety.
He even gave one to everyone. The others were reluctant to eat it, but Toriko was very willing. He directly ate the apple of over level ninety.
....
After finishing his trip to Surprise Island, Yuuki returned to a life of continuously improving his strength and researching Gourmet Cells.
During this period, he often contacted Nono to keep in touch. Just like that, time passed quickly. At the same time, he also learned from Setsuno that the Four Heavenly Kings had begun to study Food Honor.
For them to start learning Food Honor meant that the true chapter of this world was about to begin.
Only after their Food Honor reached the master level could they be considered to have truly entered the ranks of the strong.
....
One day, when Yuuki went to find Nono, he suddenly got some news from Setsuno.
"The Four-Beast? I've seen records of it in history books. But wasn't it killed by President Ichiryu back then? Why has it appeared again??"
Yuuki and Nono learned of the Four-Beast from Setsuno.
Though the IGO couldn't monitor the situation inside the Gourmet World—they could detect some information at the border between the Human World and the Gourmet World.
At the Harbor of Evil Spirits, this was the most dangerous of the three entrances to the Gourmet World. Because many beasts from the Gourmet World would enter the Human World here.
So, this place had been abandoned. No one dared to sail here. But the IGO also had an observation station here to prevent any accidents.
Half a month ago, the observation station had detected a rather special and familiar figure. Because the data of the Four-Beast had been entered into the IGO database by Ichiryu.
So, the observation station here had discovered a familiar figure. Its name was the Invite Death.
The Invite Death—was 260 meters long and 180 meters tall.
It was a giant horse-shaped creature with an incredibly potent poison in its body. In the original story, its capture level was 140 when it appeared.
At this point in time, its level hadn't reached 140 yet—but it had already broken one hundred. Because the Harbor of Evil Spirits was too dangerous, it didn't dare to go deep into the Gourmet World.
It was because of this that the observation station had detected its trail. The Four-Beast was a very special existence—a life form created by the Blue Nitro to capture humans.
Ichiryu was very clear about this.
Though he had already killed the previous one, to prevent the Blue Nitro from continuing to create such creatures, it was a key observation target.
This was why the Invite Death had been discovered the moment it appeared.
After discovering it, the IGO headquarters received the news simultaneously.
Ichiryu, reacting quickly, immediately sent people to the other entrances to check.
Then, at the other entrances, they respectively discovered the other offspring of the Four-Beast: the Fang King and the King Octopus Kong.
The appearance of one might be an accident. But for three to appear in a row, it was clear that the Four-Beast had appeared again. And the location of the main body couldn't be determined.
The location of the main body could only be found after its offspring had gathered.
At this time, the powerhouses of the Human World had not yet gone to the Gourmet World. Any one of them could have easily wiped out the Four-Beast.
But in the end, after discussing it, Ichiryu and the others decided to leave it to the Four Heavenly Kings.
As for themselves, they needed to go to the Gourmet World to prepare.
Ichiryu wasn't worried about the Four-Beast causing any trouble.
It was created to capture humans. That is, it would only capture them, not kill them directly.
So, as long as they ensured it didn't leave the Human World, the captured humans could be saved.
Although most of the IGO's powerhouses had gone to the Gourmet World, Director Mansam was still here. And there were still powerhouses like Setsuno in the Human World.
So, even if the Four Heavenly Kings failed in the end, there were still these powerhouses to back them up. Though the Four-Beast was not simple, it couldn't stir up any trouble in front of them.
It could be said that to train the next generation and to create a few savior figures for the people of the Human World, Ichiryu had spent a lot of effort.
....
"The Four-Beast is a very special existence, not a product of nature, but something that was created. And its target is humanity."
"The IGO has already prepared a response plan. You don't need to worry about it causing any trouble."
Setsuno said.
Yuuki didn't say much to this. The IGO had already made arrangements. Actually, in the original story, the IGO had almost failed.
It wasn't that the Four Heavenly Kings couldn't defeat the Four-Beast. It was that at that time, the Four-Beast had released the poisonous Green Rain from the Gourmet World.
Although the poison wasn't difficult to cure, and many powerful chefs, Gourmet Hunters, and Revivers in the Human World could do it—
—at that time, too many people were poisoned, reaching several hundred million. With such a number, the simplest method of detoxification was the Medicinal Mochi.
Komatsu had contributed a lot this time.
Of course, it would have been better if he hadn't wasted time on researching the flavor. At that time, every second counted to save lives. Yet he had spent time making it more delicious.
This was something Yuuki couldn't understand. Though the time given by the IGO seemed to be plenty, the reality and the prediction were completely different—there would always be some errors.
Just in case, Yuuki still researched the Green Rain in advance.
....
"But Master, the Four Heavenly Kings are still studying Food Honor. Can they really fight a being like the Four-Beast?"
Nono couldn't help but ask.
Having learned about the Four-Beast, she knew very well that it was very strong and would get stronger as it fought. President Ichiryu back then was far stronger than it, which was why he could one-shot it.
If you couldn't kill it instantly, then you would be dragged into a protracted battle—and it would only get stronger. Even though the Four Heavenly Kings' strength was decent—it wasn't that great.
"Ichiryu will leave them enough information. And aren't we here? We'll also stay in the Human World. If they can't handle it, then we'll be there to back them up."
Even Setsuno couldn't say for sure that the Four Heavenly Kings could defeat the Four-Beast. But she felt it shouldn't be a big problem.
The IGO had very clear intelligence on it.
As long as they were careful, the probability of failure was almost zero.
Hearing this, Yuuki was reminded of the Four Heavenly Kings' operation in the original story.
What she said was indeed correct.
Logically, with the intelligence and sufficient strength, the probability of failing against the Four-Beast should be very low.
But the Four Heavenly Kings who had mastered Food Honor were already arrogant. This wasn't him talking nonsense—they really were arrogant.
In the original story, when they looked at the intelligence Ichiryu had left, though it was Zebra who had directly turned off the computer, causing them to miss the most critical information—
—at that time, the other Four Heavenly Kings had no objections, nor did they have any intention of turning the computer back on to look.
It was clear that they were incredibly confident in themselves at that time.
Yuuki could actually understand this mentality because not mastering Food Honor and mastering it were two completely different concepts.
The effect of mastering Food Honor on a person was huge.
....
"By the way, there's one more thing. Nono, I need you to use your ability to store as many ingredients as possible."
Setsuno suddenly said. The IGO's powerhouses would soon be heading to the Gourmet World, and so would the people from the Gourmet Corp.
They knew Midora very well. Both Ichiryu and Jiro were prepared for him to release the Meteor Spice.
That was why in the original story, Ichiryu had arranged for Giraffebird all over the world.
While some were also arranged at the Cooking Fest—compared to the people and beasts of the Gourmet Corp who were coming to attack, the number of those Giraffebird was too small.
If all the Giraffebird had been concentrated near the Cooking Fest—it would have been very difficult for the Gourmet Corp to break through. The scene of them directly hitting the main venue and causing a mess would not have appeared.
Besides the Giraffebird, the most critical thing was the ingredients.
There were tens of billions of people in the Human World.
If Midora released the Meteor Spice—even without any malice, the settlements of tens of billions of people would be destroyed.
Food was very important, so the IGO had to be prepared, using every means at its disposal.
The IGO had even come to her for help.
Nono's ability could preserve all kinds of ingredients for a long time. And with her ice, even if these ingredients were left in the wild, there was no need to worry about them being eaten by other beasts.
