Food Cells Are a Restriction

"Huh? Are there any other guests?" Ichiryu noticed the group as soon as he came in, especially Jibril, who caught his eye a few more times.

Winged people? And they don't look like food at all, Ichiryu couldn't help but think. Jiro was equally puzzled. Who were these people?

"Hello, Ichiryu. Jiro!" Li Yu greeted the two men with a smile.

Ichiryu and Jiro sized Li Yu up and down. Ichiryu asked suspiciously, "Who are you? You don't have a single Gourmet Cells in your body. You're not from this world, are you?"

A person without Gourmet Cells? This is truly the first time I've ever seen such a person. In their world, even ordinary people who have eaten food containing Gourmet Cells since childhood will have some residue left in their bodies.

However, Li Yu and Jibril didn't have a single Gourmet Cells in their bodies, so he couldn't sense any aura from them, which was quite surprising and made him very concerned.

"As expected of Mr. Ichiryu, my name is Li Yu, and I come from another world!" It's not surprising that this person saw through me at a glance, after all, the Gourmet World is also another world.

Furthermore, almost everyone in this world possesses Gourmet Cells; it's just a matter of whether you can awaken them. But Li Yu in front of us doesn't have any Gourmet Cells at all, which makes it hard not to be suspicious.

Furthermore, the immense energy within Li Yu was completely out of place in this world, making it easy to guess that Li Yu wasn't from this world. Now that Li Yu had admitted it, Ichiryu couldn't help but feel curious.

At the same time, he became wary. If these people could freely enter their world, did that mean others could too? What changes would their arrival bring to this world?

Various issues forced him to be cautious, but the fact that these people were standing in front of him meant they were relatively easy to talk to? The real troublemakers would be the kind who sneaked into his world and caused trouble.

The three people in front of him stood up openly and even came to Setsuno's place... Were they here for him? Ichiryu quickly figured everything out. Since there was no hostility, then it would be easier to talk.

"Can people from your world come to our world at will? What is your purpose in coming to this world?" Ichiryu asked these crucial questions.

Erina, slumped in Little Jibril's arms, tensed up upon hearing this. Was she about to be interrogated? To the people of this world, they were all invaders!

"Your world is currently merging with this young lady's world. In the future, the two worlds may become one. Their world is just a very weak one. If the ingredients from your world were to descend over there..." Li Yu pointed to Erina, who was being held by Little Jibril, and said this.

Hearing this, Ichiryu was somewhat surprised. He naturally understood what Li Yu meant, but what concerned him more was the implication behind Li Yu's words: these people weren't from the same world after all?

"This young lady's world isn't yours?" Ichiryu looked at Li Yu with some surprise. These three weren't from the same world? How many worlds were connected?

Could it be that their world is already riddled with holes? The thought made Ichiryu feel utterly terrified. Had their world become one that anyone could enter?

"That's right, their world is now merging with my world, and then we discovered that their world is merging with yours!" Li Yu slowly explained all this information to Ichiryu.

With Li Yu's explanation, Ichiryu finally understood. His face was now solemn as he looked directly at Li Yu and said, "So, our world will eventually be completely integrated with yours, right? More people will come to our world in the future!"

That's roughly the gist of it, right? This is truly incredible news, but it's also a relatively good situation, because the world Li Yu and the others live in doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards their world.

"Yes, the World Will of our world has also descended upon this world, and should have reached an agreement with your World Will by now!" As for how they negotiated, don't worry about that; from now on, Pandora will be in charge.

After all, the world's World Will doesn't possess its own intelligence like Pandora's. In the future, this world will also be a part of Pandora, and everyone will have to form the World Will for a lifetime!

Listening to Li Yu's explanation, Ichiryu and Jiro exchanged a glance. This news was truly astonishing. Who could have imagined that other worlds would descend upon them so suddenly and without warning? If Li Yu hadn't come over, they probably wouldn't have known what was happening at all.

"So you suddenly came here, you must have some ulterior motives, right?" After understanding everything, Ichiryu calmed down, and now he wanted to know what the person in front of him was thinking.

Looking at the IGO boss before him, Li Yu stated their position. "We have always adhered to a win-win approach, regardless of the world we deal with. Therefore, Mr. Ichiryu, we hope to cooperate with you."

Upon receiving Li Yu's reply, Ichiryu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Cooperation is no problem. We can discuss the details later."

He believed that this young man wasn't there to negotiate with him. They could discuss cooperation later when the people from that world arrived; there was no rush. He was here for a meal.

Hearing this, Li Yu nodded. Of course, no problem. It was enough for both parties to reach a preliminary agreement; the rest could be handled by others.

However, Ichiryu was still very interested in the world that Li Yu and his companions lived in, especially the power that Li Yu possessed, which was different from that of their world, and that was quite interesting.

While waiting for their food, the group started chatting. Li Yu was also very curious about the pressure point techniques in this world, especially Jiro's ability to apply pressure points to the entire planet.

He was extremely interested. Now that the other party was interested in the power system of another world, wouldn't he have to have a thorough exchange? The other party couldn't learn True Magic, since these people didn't have magic power in their bodies.

Therefore, Li Yu talked to them about breathing techniques and Martial Arts that he had modified. What he said was all practical information, not something to fool people. These were things that ordinary people could learn.

Ichiryu and Jiro listened with great interest to what Li Yu was explaining. There was so much to learn from it. At the same time, Jiro also shared his own techniques on acupressure with Li Yu.

After learning about Erina's condition, he even sealed part of her sense of taste on the spot, which would automatically unseal it once she could bear it.

Erina was surprised to find that her tongue's sensitivity had decreased. Could she still do that? It seemed that her problem wasn't a big deal in this world.

Next, Li Yu and the others ate a meal at Granny Setsuno's place and also tasted the legendary Century Soup, which was said to make people make a lewd expression when they drank it.

Especially Erina, although her sense of taste was partially sealed, the taste of this dish completely overwhelmed her, and she finally saw what a real chef was like.

All her pride was shattered at this moment. There are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. She finally understood that this journey to another world had truly broadened her horizons.

After eating Granny Setsuno's food, Li Yu also sensed changes within his body. Gourmet Cells were left inside, but when they would awaken depended on his individual aptitude. However, if there was no subsequent energy replenishment, these Gourmet Cells would also die.

Once the Gourmet Cells in your body awaken, they will multiply wildly and replace other cells, turning you into a complete glutton. If these Gourmet Cells take root in your body, you will be unable to live without food in this world in the future.

If there were any problems with the food in this world, your strength would be completely restricted. Thinking about it that way, it seems there are drawbacks, right? After pondering for a moment, Li Yu came up with a plan.

If you want to go further, it's best not to let this limit you, although the potential of Gourmet Cells is quite high and they can be very useful for many people.

If he can't find a way in the future, going down this path completely would be quite good. However, Li Yu already has a better option. He can now achieve anything he needs from the Gourmet Cells, and the Third Magic is now completely integrated with his physical body.

The fusion of soul and body meant Li Yu didn't need any Gourmet Cells. Others could walk this path, but he didn't. He glanced at Jibril beside him; this girl was completely immersed in the ocean of food and hadn't thought about these issues at all.

"It tastes amazing! Grandma Setsuno's cooking skills are truly remarkable!" Li Yu gave Grandma Setsuno a thumbs up. He had really learned something new today; the taste was truly unforgettable.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Setsuno just smiled and remained silent. After all, as a national treasure-level chef, she was already tired of such praise. What she was more concerned about was that Li Yu seemed to have no interest in the cuisine of their world.

After Li Yu finished eating, he completely lost interest? She was absolutely certain she hadn't misread it. Thinking of this, Setsuno couldn't help but ask, "Little Li Yu, it seems you've lost interest in the food of our world?"

Upon hearing Granny Setsuno's question, Li Yu was taken aback. Ichiryu and Jiro also turned their gazes towards him. This question was quite intriguing; could there be a reason?

"That's not the case. What I'm not interested in are the Gourmet Cells. The Gourmet Cells in your world are a good thing for many people, but for me, they're a limitation..." At this point, the rest is unnecessary.

Because it wasn't helpful, he wasn't interested. However, Li Yu was quite interested in the food and some combat techniques from this world!
