Yuuki didn't say much to Jiro's words, because it was the truth. But he also had another matter to discuss with them.

"What could make you so serious?"

Seeing his expression turn solemn, Jiro, Setsuno, and Nono were all a bit puzzled.

"I plan to enter the Gourmet World after the Cooking Fest. My first target will be AIR on the Eighth Continent. I'm confident I can prepare it, but the biggest problem now is how to get the qualification to do so."

Yuuki said.

He didn't plan to enter before the Cooking Fest. The reason was simple—at that time, all the various factions in the Gourmet World would be at war.

Entering was almost a suicide mission. He didn't have the strength to crush everything yet, so he had to be careful.

His first target would definitely be AIR.

Acacia's Full Course Menu had a certain order. For example, PAIR. Only after eating PAIR could you enter the Sixth Continent. Of course, he could also use Knocking to enter a state of suspended animation to get in. After all, that state could also allow the soul to leave the body.

But if you didn't eat ANOTHER—you wouldn't be able to taste many of the later ingredients and many of the delicacies of the Gourmet World.

So, to eat the subsequent ingredients, you had to eat ANOTHER first.

He planned to go and prepare AIR first. He could hear the voice of the ingredient, so preparing it wouldn't be difficult for him.

But the problem was the Horse King. That thing was always guarding AIR. It was the key to its reproduction.

So, if he wanted to prepare AIR, he needed to get the Horse King's consent.

But how to get its consent?

Offer a sacrifice? DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

He would never do such a thing. So, he could only use the same method as Toriko and the others—find someone to hold off the Horse King. But who to find? He didn't have a Blue Demon to come out and fight.

So, in the end, he thought of Jiro. With his current strength, he could completely dominate the Horse King.

The Horse King could deal with the Blue Demon because it was targeting Toriko.

But Jiro was completely different. His own strength could crush the Horse King, and he wasn't human.

He was equivalent to a living Appetite Demon, so he didn't need oxygen to survive. The Horse King's techniques were completely useless against him.

....

"Prepare AIR? Speaking of which, that guy Melk's knife is also finished. With your culinary skills, preparing AIR is indeed no problem. You're worried about the Horse King, right? He is quite strong."

Jiro said.

He was also very familiar with the Eight Kings. He knew the Horse King's personality very well. The Eight Kings all had different personalities.

The Horse King believed that everything on the Eighth Continent was its own. So, if you wanted to obtain the precious ingredients of the Eighth Continent—you needed to get its approval.

On the Seventh Continent, the Monkey King didn't manage anything at all, leaving the task to a few master-level monkeys under it.

"That's right. To get AIR, you have to get past the Horse King. But it's impossible to reason with it. So, I can only ask you to hold it off for me."

"As long as you can hold it off, once I finish preparing AIR, there will be no problem!"

Yuuki nodded.

"No problem. Holding off the Horse King is not a difficult matter."

Jiro didn't mind. With his current strength, defeating the Horse King was a very simple matter. So, at that time, he and Yuuki could just go to the Eighth Continent together.

"Thank you so much, Master Jiro!"

Yuuki immediately thanked him. Though for everyone, preparing AIR was something that had to be done—for Jiro to agree to protect him while he did it was enough for him to offer his sincere thanks.

....

After speaking with them, Yuuki also invited Nono to Surprise Island.

"Surprise Island... speaking of which, we went there before. I remember Jiro managed to make an apple with a capture level of over ninety."

Setsuno said with a smile.

It was rumored that only three people could make the Surprise Apple's level exceed ninety: Ichiryu, Jiro, and Midora.

Yuuki wasn't surprised that Midora would do such a thing. After all, he would do anything for good food. So, scaring an apple was not hard to understand.

"With your strength—getting an apple of level eighty or ninety should be easy."

Jiro also nodded. Because Yuuki had also mastered High-Level Knocking. Back then, he had relied on Knocking to raise the Surprise Apple to that level.

These apples could not only be scared by force—there were other means.

....

After chatting for a while, Nono also agreed to go together. Yuuki then went back. A few days passed in a flash. Today was the day Surprise Island was open.

This island was an artificial island built by the IGO. The Surprise Apples on it were not originally here but on a place called Battle Island.

Battle Island had a large number of beasts, and they were naturally belligerent, spending most of their time fighting. The Surprise Apples born here, after years of being scared by the battles, had become what they were.

After discovering the Surprise Apple, the IGO had directly transplanted it and mass-planted it on a small island, which was now Surprise Island.

The island was usually not open to the public. It was surrounded by a large number of ships year-round, which were constantly consuming ammunition to simulate the scene of Battle Island. Otherwise, the Surprise Apples wouldn't change.

After a year of constant bombardment and scaring, the Surprise Apples had finally matured. But the IGO didn't take them all for itself—it opened the island to the public.

So, many people who were interested would come here to pick them.

But the vast majority of people couldn't get a high-level one. The higher the level, the higher the value, and it increased exponentially.

....

Yuuki and Nono didn't take a boat over but came directly in their Camping Monster.

With a Camping Monster, traveling had become very convenient. It didn't take long to get to Surprise Island at all. The speed of this Giant Shell was terrifying, even as a juvenile.

"Chef Yuuki, Ms. Nono, you're here! Is this your Camping Monster? It looks great!"

Their arrival naturally also attracted the attention of Toriko and the others. They had come on Tom's boat.

Tom was also quite strong.

He was very proficient in all kinds of transportation. Though these things were useless in the Gourmet World—they were very useful in the Human World.

"This was prepared by Master Jiro. It's from the Sixth Continent, a juvenile Giant Shell. You'll understand when you get to the Sixth Continent."

Yuuki said with a smile.

He also looked at the Battle Wolf. Terry grew very fast. How long had it been, his size was already taller than Toriko.

But that was also normal. After all, the Battle Wolf race was born for battle. So, their juvenile and elderly stages were very short. Most of their time was spent in their prime—and their combat power was very strong.

At this moment, there was no sign of a Wall Penguin by Komatsu's side.

In the original story, the reason he had been with the baby Wall Penguin, Yun, was because the adult ones had been killed.

Now, because Setsuno had made the Century Soup, no one went to the Ice Hell anymore.

So, Toriko and Komatsu had no reason to go there. The Wall Penguin race wouldn't be persecuted, so Yun naturally wouldn't run into Komatsu.

In the original story, Yun had helped him a lot, for example, when looking for the Longevity Sugarcane—and in the Gourmet World, it had protected him.

And the Century Soup was also made with its help.

A pity that now, Komatsu would most likely not be able to meet Yun.

But Yuuki didn't want to interfere with these things. With Komatsu's Food Luck, it didn't matter even without Yun.

....

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Just as they were talking, a series of roars already came from the island.

"Looks like it's started. Let's go in!"

Hearing the commotion, Toriko knew that the Gourmet Hunters inside had already started to act. These people were now carrying a large number of weapons into the island.

They planned to use these weapons to scare the apples. But to be honest, the level of the apples they got this way was generally only one or two, maybe three.

As for using heavy weapons, like missiles, that was not allowed. After all, the island couldn't withstand the destruction of such weapons.

"These guys are the same as every year. No technical skill at all."

Rin, who had come with Toriko, said with a look of displeasure. Actually, the apples here were ultimately sent out with single-digit levels. The reason was because of these guys.

They knew their strength wasn't great, so they could only use these weapons and go for quantity.

That way, they could still make some money.

The IGO also didn't stop such behavior. The opening of this island was to give benefits to others. So as long as it wasn't too outrageous, they wouldn't intervene.

"Has it always been like this here? By the way, won't these guys fight over the apples?"

Komatsu couldn't help but ask. After all, the number of apples was limited, so he was really afraid they would fight.

"They won't fight... The IGO has explicitly forbidden such behavior. If they violate this rule, the best outcome is being permanently banned from entering this island."
