Food Captive: Join the chat group Chapter 035

“Dinner is served, everyone, the feast is ready,” Mansam grinned and shouted loudly.

His full course menu was easy to prepare, not made of any rare ingredients.

Toriko immediately looked up at the spectator stands. Mansam’s feast was not to be missed, and his injuries required a huge meal to replenish energy and recover quickly.

“Director, aren’t we still going to capture the Regal Mammoth?” Qin Zhou reminded him, wondering if this alcoholic director had forgotten about it.

“Cough, cough, no rush, let’s replenish our energy first,” Mansam said nonchalantly, feeling a bit awkward.

Even if someone from the Bishokukai entered the First Biotope, it wouldn’t be easy for them to get the Jewel Meat. The Regal Mammoth was not an ordinary beast.

Qin Zhou felt the energy in his body. Due to Food Immersion, he was still at his peak.

A giant dining table was laden with one delicious dish after another. The most enormous was a Pterosaur-type beast, an ultra-huge platter.

“Open your stomachs wide and eat to your heart’s content. Don’t be polite with me.”

“Is this a Bacchus Dragon? It’s an ultra-high-grade ingredient, my first time seeing it,” Komatsu exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right, the island master of Bacchus Island, the Bacchus Dragon. It’s rich in alcohol and famous for its meat tasting like brandy. It’s Director Mansam’s main dish,” Toriko explained while eating.

“Hahaha, you can drink, kid,” Mansam laughed heartily.

“This is my full course menu.”

Komatsu’s eyes widened, curious about Mansam’s full course menu. The menu of the IGO’s third-in-command should consist of very high-grade ingredients.

Appetizer: Drunken Snail (Mollusk, Capture Level 28)

Soup: Sake Shellfish Soup (Shellfish, Capture Level 25)

Fish Dish: Bacchus Shark (Fish, Capture Level 31)

Meat Dish: Drunken Cow (Mammal, Capture Level 30)

Main Dish: Bacchus Dragon (Pterosaur, Capture Level 37)

Salad: Bacchus Onion (Natural Vegetable, Capture Level 15)

Dessert: Drunken Melon (Fruit, Capture Level 19)

Beverage: Bacchus Whale Tide (Mammal, Capture Level 33)

“Wait a minute, why are all the ingredients alcoholic? How much do you love drinking?”

Komatsu was a bit stunned. He listened with curiosity, and while one or two dishes were fine, by the end, not a single one was non-alcoholic.

He felt like he would pass out after this meal and miss the capture of the Jewel Meat.

“Director Mansam’s full course menu is the worst!” Rin loudly complained. For a girl who didn’t drink much, ingredients that were all alcoholic really didn’t appeal to her appetite.

“I don’t care about you, Rin,” Mansam said indifferently, almost making Rin so angry that she wanted to fire a shot at Mansam with her Battle Perfume.

Tina, as expected of a professional broadcaster, held her camera and kept snapping pictures. There were hundreds of dishes, and she basically didn’t miss a single one.

Qin Zhou didn’t mind the alcohol and ate with relish. Children shouldn’t eat this, but it tasted delicious. People who loved drinking would definitely fall in love with this alcoholic food.

None of these ingredients had a capture level exceeding 40. With Mansam’s strength, he could have easily found and captured higher-level ingredients for his full course menu.

The reason he chose these was because Mansam genuinely loved alcohol, and most of them were ingredients from Bacchus Island. If it weren’t for his position as director, Mansam would probably live in seclusion on Bacchus Island.

Qin Zhou’s master, Jirou, could go to the Drunken Island eight times a week, not just once a day. Perhaps he went in the morning, brought back some alcohol, found it finished by noon, and went again in the afternoon.

“Has he learned Food Immersion?”

Mansam noticed Qin Zhou’s situation and thought to himself.

The food in front of Qin Zhou was disappearing rapidly, but his stomach showed no fluctuation. Top-ranked powerhouses in the world were extremely gluttonous because they could store a lot of energy for combat and other purposes.

It seemed he had most likely mastered Food Immersion. Mansam wasn’t surprised; as a disciple of a legendary figure, mastering an ability like Food Immersion was very normal.

This discovery made Mansam even more clearly realize that Qin Zhou’s strength could rank among the top among many powerful Gourmet Hunters.

He was truly an astonishing young man, and the future would belong to them.

“Thank you for the meal.”

It looked like a lot, a huge pile of food, but aside from Komatsu, Tina, and Rin, who didn’t like this kind of food, everyone else was a huge eater.

Qin Zhou didn’t lack energy; he could have eaten it all at once, but then Toriko wouldn’t have food to recover from his injuries and replenish his stamina.

“Toriko, how’s your recovery going?” Qin Zhou asked.

“Not that fast,” Toriko shook his head. His external injuries had healed, but using the 5-Ren Nail Punch several times in a short period had caused significant depletion, and he hadn’t fully recovered yet.

“You have a tough battle ahead. If you don’t recover properly, you might die.”

“The GT Robots sent by the Bishokukai aren’t just that green-haired one, are they, Director Mansam?”

This was a trial Ichi-ryu had set for Toriko and the others. Among those sent by the Bishokukai this time, the only one that caught Qin Zhou’s eye was the black GT Robot controlled by Starjun.

GT Robots couldn’t fully utilize Starjun’s own power. While some Gourmet Hunters were strengthened by controlling robots, for those who were already powerful, controlling one actually weakened their performance.

Mansam glanced at Qin Zhou. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to tell him not to help Toriko and the others, but now it seemed unnecessary.

“Haha, Qin Zhou, you’re right. There are indeed some Bishokukai GT Robots infiltrating the Biotope, but don’t worry, the Regal Mammoth isn’t that easy to capture,” Mansam nodded.

The GT Robots developed by the Bishokukai could enter various harsh environments, eliminating the need for Gourmet Hunters to personally enter. Although this small island had mountain barriers, they couldn’t stop powerful individuals.

Other factions would give the IGO some face and wouldn’t privately enter the Biotope, but the Bishokukai wouldn’t. They would find ways to cause trouble for the IGO.

This was simply uninvited. He hadn’t sent invitations to the Bishokukai members.

He could successfully capture the Jewel Meat himself, but this was Ichi-ryu’s intention, to let Toriko and the others train. Aside from Zebra, who was in prison, the other two Heavenly Kings would also arrive later.

Toriko slowly nodded, mentally preparing himself. The next battle would be a fierce one. These GT Robots were truly disgusting; their body material was incredibly tough.
