Jibril Is Not an Ingredient

Li Yu's words surprised Ichiryu and the others. Gourmet Cells were a limitation? This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing. At this moment, Little Jibril also came to his senses and looked at Li Yu.

"Gourmet Cells need to be paired with the ingredients of your world. During battles, you also need to consume energy from your cells. If the energy is depleted, you can only replenish it by eating. That's why Gourmet Hunters exist in this world. But what if other worlds don't have these ingredients?" After Li Yu finished speaking, he quietly looked at the group.

These words immediately silenced Ichiryu and the others. If they looked at the myriad worlds, these Gourmet Cells did indeed seem to be a limitation, equivalent to a one-time energy source. They knew how difficult it was to recover on their own.

They are not from their own world, so naturally they don't have the ingredients from their Gourmet Cells to rely on, which seems normal.

If Li Yu and the others really acquire the Gourmet Cells, then it's equivalent to being bound to this world. If any problems arise with the food in this world in the future, it could truly affect them for a lifetime.

"It seems we also need to study the power systems of other worlds. Now that we've connected with your side, further contact is inevitable, and we can learn from other worlds." Ichiryu's eyes narrowed slightly; wasn't this also a crisis for them?

He'd been preparing food reserves precisely because he was worried about something like this happening someday. Now, it seemed a better option had emerged. Ichiryu Long looked at Li Yu and said, "If possible, I hope someone from your side can come over soon to discuss this."

Ichiryu is now quite impatient. He hopes to cooperate with them as soon as possible and find a way to replenish energy instead of eating, so that these hidden dangers can be resolved.

"Of course, no problem. I'll make the arrangements when I get back. Mr. Ichiryu, could you give me your contact information? I'll have someone come and contact you." Li Yu nodded in agreement.

Li Yu has eaten everything he could want today, learned about the Gourmet Cells of this world, and even learned acupressure. It was a pretty fruitful day.

Although the Gourmet Cells of this world have some drawbacks, it's still quite good for those who want to improve their strength, and all the ingredients in this world are worth studying thoroughly.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Ichiryu nodded and said, "I'll go out for a bit, please wait a moment!"

He didn't give Li Yu a business card or anything, but instead left Setsuno's restaurant directly. When he returned, he had several cell phones in his hand. He handed them to Li Yu, saying, "These are the cell phones to contact me. When your people arrive, you can use them to contact me."

This was specially bought because he was worried that Li Yu and the others wouldn't have a way to contact people in this world. Looking at what Ichiryu gave him, Li Yu immediately gave him a thumbs up. He was really thoughtful.

"Okay, I'll have them contact you then. If Mr. Ichiryu is interested, you're welcome to go out and have some fun. On behalf of our world, I welcome you all." After saying this, Li Yu stood up, ready to take his leave.

Seeing this, Jibril and Erina also hurriedly got up. Li Yu was leaving, and they wouldn't stay any longer, especially Jibril, who felt that these people in front of her were very dangerous.

She had noticed before that these people stared at her wings as soon as they came in, clearly treating her as food. This annoyed Jibril greatly; if these guys were any weaker, she would have attacked them already.

Ichiryu smiled and nodded. He would go when he had time, but not recently. The people from the Gourmet Corp had been causing quite a stir lately, and he couldn't leave for the time being.

After saying goodbye to these people, Li Yu released True Magic and left with Jibril and Erina. Erina felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the Magic Array appear at her feet.

Is she going to throw up everything she ate? Just as she was thinking this, she felt a blur before her eyes, and then she realized that she had been hit as if by a tap, and the scene in front of her had changed.

This time, she didn't feel the dizziness she had at the beginning? After she could see her surroundings clearly, her eyes widened. They were now back on the playground of the Totsuki Academy.

"Alright, Erina, you can go back now. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Li Yu glanced at the incredulous Erina, said this to her, and then disappeared on the spot.

Jibril returned to the Flügel's group, leaving Erina alone in the blink of an eye. She watched the two run away in silence.

After a moment's thought, Erina headed in the direction of her grandfather. The area had already been sealed off, and the ingredients that the Flügel had brought back had all disappeared.

The entire campus was under martial law, but since Erina's home was there, she didn't encounter any obstacles in moving around.

Li Yu had no time to pay attention to Erina. He had already returned to his own world and found Nangong Natsuki and the others. They were currently discussing something on the island where the passage had been discovered.

His arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention. Li Yu sensed his surroundings and discovered that several houses had been built there. Li Yu also sensed that construction was underway outside the island, which was quite fast.

When Nangong Natsuki saw Li Yu return, she immediately asked him to sit down, "How is the situation over there? Have you looked into it?"

She is now paying close attention to the situation there. Erina and the others' world is just an add-on; the real focus should be on that powerful world.

"Yes, I've looked into it. I've found the higher-ups in that world. This is their phone number; it has the contact information for the person in charge of IGO. Natsuki-chan, you can send someone over to discuss the cooperation with them." Li Yu took out the phone that Ichiryu had given him and handed it to Nangong Natsuki.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Nangong Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately put the phone away. She had thought that things would be a bit troublesome in the other world, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.

After all, Li Yu had brought the Flügel with him, so she thought there would be a proper battle, but it turned out there wasn't one at all.

"Let me tell you about the situation over there!" After putting away her phone, Nangong Natsuki asked Li Yu to explain the situation in that world. Now that everyone was here, they could brainstorm and come up with a plan to deal with that situation.

Li Yu nodded, composed himself, and then said, "It's a world made entirely of food ingredients, and the humans there are incredibly powerful; all their strength is related to those ingredients."

He slowly began to explain the power system of that world, including things like Gourmet Cells, and how energy needed to be replenished through eating.

Everyone frowned after listening to Li Yu's explanation. One middle-aged man couldn't help but say, "This system is too dependent. Without those ingredients, we're nothing. Without establishing a supply system, we might be held hostage!"

That world, by controlling those ingredients, essentially controls the lifeline of everyone who possesses Gourmet Cells. This is quite hostile; they would never relinquish their lifeline to someone else.

Although Pandora may become the World Will in the future, she generally doesn't interfere in these matters; ultimately, these decisions are made by them.

"That's what I think too. And I don't think it's necessary to get any Gourmet Cells. We can just find some cooperating God in the Dungeon to bestow Falna on everyone, and then treat that world as a training ground!" At this moment, someone else also expressed their opinion.

There are Gourmet Hunters, right? Then let those who want to get stronger go there to level up using their Falna. That way they can make money too, isn't that better than any Gourmet Cells?

Everyone began to express their opinions. After listening to everyone's views, Nangong Natsuki finally looked at Li Yu and said, "Tell me your thoughts?"

She knew very well how outrageous this kid's learning talent was. She didn't believe Li Yu wouldn't study these things over there, so she wanted to see how Li Yu viewed the matter.

As Nangong Natsuki spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Li Yu. Although Li Yu was still a student, the people present were no strangers to this new colleague.

"My suggestion is that if there's a need, let them get it. When this world is made public, and when ingredients from that world enter our world, these things will naturally be unavoidable." Li Yu looked up at Nangong Natsuki and shared some of his thoughts.

His idea was to compromise: let them have what they want, as long as they weren't afraid of being restricted. After all, the idea of becoming stronger by eating is too appealing to many people.

Not everyone cares about the future, and some people don't even have a future yet. Isn't the emergence of Gourmet Cells an opportunity? So this can't be stopped; we'll just lay these things out and explain them to everyone.

Nangong Natsuki nodded thoughtfully, then said with utmost seriousness, "Then let's do it this way. I'll compile everyone's suggestions and report them up, but the final decision will still rest with those at the top."

Everyone nodded, it seemed that this was the only way, and most people agreed with Li Yu's statement that this kind of thing couldn't be stopped unless that world was completely sealed off and kept from public view.

But is it possible to keep it a secret? The ingredients are so tempting; I bet a lot of people would want them, right?
