Food Prisoner: Gourmet Collector

"I know the island is both popular for food research and a tourist destination." He still understood these basics.

Alu crossed his arms: "The island where new delicacies are born is commonly known as the Food Garden - that's what it looks like on the surface."

"IGO's largest courtyard, the first protected area, is a circular island covering an area of ​​50 square kilometers." Mr. Johannes then added.The islands that can be seen from the window are surrounded by the sea, like a motionless leaf of duckweed in the sea.

"The tourist attractions occupy very little space because the IGO cannot control the entire island. On the island surrounded by tall mountains, improved varieties and cloned species for research are stocked, forming a unique ecosystem." Aru looked out the window and watched the changes. A landscape of countless bare and sharp peaks.

"However, it is said that it is a tourism industry, but it is doing shameful things behind the scenes."

"What's going on?" Xiaosong was confused when he heard Alu's words. Isn't this courtyard the property of IGO?Why do you say it so unbearably?

"Leave him alone, Xiaosong," Chenxing said.

"What's wrong, Chenxing, am I right?" Alu said immediately dissatisfied.

"Haha, Alu, you are really great!" Chenxing said sarcastically: "You hate the first ecological environment, it is nothing more than the competitive gambling industry in it. You will think that because of this industry, many people have gone bankrupt here. go out."

"But" Chenxing paused: "But, you have never thought about where these gamblers came from before the gambling arena was opened in the first ecological environment?"

"Ah!!!" Chenxing said to Alu: "They came from a gourmet casino in a non-IGO member country. In that place, where the family was ruined at the least, and the wife and children were separated, and the family was destroyed, they spent their lives every day gambling. , a place that gives everything.”

"So you, who is a saint, feel that this place is dirty?"

"Maybe what you said is right." Alu felt a little melancholy after listening to Chenxing's words. He has never understood what Mr. Yilong did since he was a child. He thought that there was still darkness in the IGO under his management. Now it seems that the darkness is not here. , but in my own heart, I think too bad of others.

The helicopter flew to the inside of the IGO "courtyard" and walked into the research base.When he arrived at the Food Research Institute, Xiaosong was shocked by the vastness and emptiness of the research institute, which looked like a city.Mechanical processes carry various rare and common ingredients to machines with unknown functions or in front of rows of workers for processing.According to Mr. Johannes, [-]% of the world’s gourmet ingredients are produced here.

"It's amazing. So many ingredients are shipped here?" Xiaosong asked in surprise.

"Yes, and there are a lot of ingredients here brought by Mr. Chenxing, including many new ingredients." Johannes thanked Chenxing from the bottom of his heart. After all, the Four Heavenly Kings have been looking for suitable ingredients for themselves since they became famous. , or try new ingredients, so I rarely continue to discover ingredients and transport ingredients back here.

But Chenxing has been doing this all the time. This is not because Chenxing has nothing to do, but every time Chenxing captures new ingredients, he actually copies a lot of them in the cultivation space. In addition, he has been living in the house of Mr. Yilong, so there are a lot of them. Every now and then, I would bring more ingredients to them. As time went by, Chenxing gave them a lot of ingredients.

"Ah, is Chenxing also working for IGO?" Xiaosong asked in surprise.

"Well" Chenxing raised his head and looked at the ceiling, then shook his head and said: "My words don't count, it's just that my father and master often give me some special commissions from IGO, and I saw that there is a way here. I will bring the ingredients back when I find them, and if I find new ingredients, I will send a copy over here for them to study.”

"Yes, since the Four Heavenly Kings went out, few high-level hunters have been able to bring back high-end ingredients. Lord Chenxing is one of the few high-level hunters," Johannes said.

"Ah, right?" Alu was a little embarrassed. After all, after the Four Heavenly Kings went out, they rarely accepted commissions from the courtyard and the research institute. One of the reasons was that they who grew up here at that time did not understand the heart of Mr. Yilong, so they all ran away. I rarely come back.This is also in the original work, when Alu went to capture the rainbow fruit, the guard said thank you to Alu for the hospitality, but Alu said that I didn't bring you anything to eat.Because Aru did not come back after he went out! .

Chapter 20 Aru’s world view

"In the vast courtyard, research on breed improvement is often conducted, and there are also some studies that cannot be made public." Johannes's voice remained calm.

"Are you still doing that?" Although Aru no longer minds the gambling in the arena, he is still a little unhappy with the hybridization and research here.

"Yes." Johannes nodded: "After all, it is the main source of income for the garden?"

"Huh?" Xiaosong on the side didn't know what was going on and simply didn't interrupt. Chenxing didn't bother to pay attention to Alu, a problem child. Why don't you take a look at what you Four Heavenly Kings are doing?Look at Zebra and tell me!

After arriving at the elevator at the end of the Gourmet Research Institute, Mr. Johannes stopped moving forward: "The director is underground, so I'll excuse you." With a bow, the elevator door quickly closed.

"What kind of person is the director?" Xiaosong felt as nervous as a commoner meeting a big shot.After all, the director of the Food Research Institute must be a great person to be able to manage such a large research institute.

"Just an uncle who likes to drink."

"Uncle who likes to drink? Ugh...????" Xiaosong looked confused, and Chenxing looked speechless. I don't know how you describe this director Mansam in your heart!

"Does Mr. Chenxing also know what the director is good at?" Xiaosong asked.

"We know each other, we're quite familiar with each other!" Chenxing nodded and said.

"Well, you can say that he is the third person after the president and vice president."

"Don't relax, Xiaosong, we don't know what will attack." Alu reminded as he looked at the opening.

The elevator opened, and a huge red muscular octopus came face to face. It had a mouth full of double sharp teeth and let out a huge angry roar.

"Calm down, Xiaosong. There is specially strengthened plexiglass, so don't be afraid." Alu said easily.

"What kind of creatures are these?" Xiaosong was so frightened by the way these animals were mixed and hybridized. Although most of the beasts in this world were mixed like this, the creatures here especially gave him an uncomfortable feeling. He always felt that he had entered by mistake. Gene Underground Research Institute General.

"Clones of endangered species, and then hybridized to create a new species - tethered animals." Aru looked unhappy and a little solemn.

"Shackles?" didn't sound like a good word.

"It's tethered animals. Although it's in the name of food research, due to ethical issues, this is actually an extremely confidential place."

"Don't say it so harshly, Alu." Chenxing shook his head and said: "If these ingredients are not reproduced and mated here, they will disappear in nature. We will not deliberately do these things that violate the laws of nature. But it does not mean that others will not, Just like the Gourmet Club, they often eat the ingredients to extinction. There are also people like Zebra who often eat the ingredients to extinction for various reasons, so how many species are reduced every day. Without the people here who have been working hard, the wild How many species disappear unnaturally every day?”

"Sometimes you wonder what else can you think about besides eating?" Chenxing continued: "Since I started transporting food here, at least tens of thousands of food species in the world have been saved here. What is this? This is Can you deny something that is unethical? Also, don’t mislead Xiaosong. The hybrid species sometimes made here are indeed very uncomfortable, but don’t forget what the main purpose of this place is.”

"Just like you, you Four Heavenly Kings have been discovering new species over the years. You, Alu, alone, have discovered no less than 20 new ingredients in these years."

"Similarly, Zebra is not bad either. He has discovered 10,000+ ingredients." Chenxing paused and continued: "But there are also many species that have disappeared directly and indirectly because of Zebra."

"In this place, you, Aru, are not qualified to judge whether what they do is right or wrong, and neither can I. As long as there are people who benefit from the supply of food here and the release of endangered species into the wild, only they themselves can."

"Uh, I'm sorry, I was too self-centered." Alu bowed deeply to Chenxing after hearing Chenxing's words.

"No, don't do this to me." Chenxing patted Alu on the shoulder, and then said: "This gift of yours should be for them, for the director, for Johannes and the others. Because they are all here effort."

"The transparency of these plexiglass is really high!" Xiaosong looked at a muscle crab that appeared in front of him.

The giant crab sprayed out two streams of white air and roared as it rushed forward.

"Ah, there really is no glass." Xiaosong was so frightened that he froze up.

"The Muscle Crab escaped!"

"Help!"

All the staff who were in good order just now ran away, leaving only Chenxing Aru and Xiaosong.

"Get back on the bed!!!" Just as the muscle crab was about to attack Xiaosong, a voice sounded from behind the three of them.The muscle crab immediately stopped and looked up, only to find a three-headed food demon staring at it. It was so frightened that it immediately ran back to bed.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on them? How come they were released!" The person who came was none other than Director Mansam.

"Chief"

"Uncle"

"Haha, it's you two boys! Welcome, ah, no, welcome home!!!" Mansam hugged Aru and said.Because Chenxing is seen often, he doesn’t see much outside the world.

"Hey, go home?" Xiaosong looked confused when he heard this?

"What's the reason for letting me come back this time? It shouldn't just be about capturing the Ligaru mammoth." Alu asked.

Director Mansam, who had taken a big sip of wine, suddenly turned around seriously. Although he looked drunk, he spoke very clearly: "The food club has started to take action."

"Food party?" The atmosphere immediately cooled down. Although they didn't know if it was because of Chen Xing, they didn't encounter the robot driven by Stajiu from the food party in the beach cave.

Buildings under the dark sky, a huge food club base, a majestic black castle that never sees sunlight all year round...

"With the help of the new GT robot, our gourmet club is constantly collecting ingredients." Ms. Qiao, who was holding a cane, reported respectfully, raising her head to reveal a withered and scary face, "Deputy Chef."

The man with long black hair wearing a strange mask on the seat narrowed his eyes, and a dull voice came from the mask. "not enough."

"The next plan has been prepared and will be available soon." Qiao Niang hurriedly answered.

"...Ligaru Mammoth.".

Chapter 21 Wolf Fighting

"ah…………!!!!!"

In the bustling food arena, bursts of noisy and piercing screams awakened Komatsu's mind.

"Mr. Aru, what exactly is this place?"

"Oh! Just in time for the warm-up match!" Director Mansam also looked very excited.

"The Food Arena is an arena that measures the combat effectiveness and capture levels of beasts." Alu explained, keeping his eyes on the arena below.

"Of course, this is one of the reasons why Aru doesn't like the courtyard. Although it is an arena, it is also a legal gambling place for IGO360 member countries. It receives more than [-] tourists every day, and nearly [-]% of them are in Gambling here." Chenxing interjected.

"Of course today is a little different?" Director Mansam said.

"Huh? What's different?" Xiao Song looked at the crowded arena and asked in confusion.

"Today is the day when leaders of all the franchised countries come here to relax. Today we are receiving relatives and friends from the franchised countries." Director Mansam said after taking a sip of wine?

"Oh"

"And regardless of their high positions, they are also human beings, ordinary people, and there are people who need this kind of gambling," Chenxing explained. After all, he has been here for several years.

"Although this is actually a casino for the rich and powerful, the VIPs of IGO's participating countries. But it is also the source of income for IGO's poverty alleviation fund."

"So the heads of state I saw are real?" Xiaosong thought that the people he saw were just similar: "Mr. Chenxing, what is the poverty alleviation fund?"

“Consumption here will be used by IGOs ​​to purchase ingredients and supplies and send them to children in non-franchising countries around the world. After all, although 360 countries in the world have joined us, there are still many countries that have joined us for various reasons. did not join us,” Director Mansam said.

"This is also necessary for the organization," Director Mansam also joined in the conversation, "Extract funds from wealthy people through competitions, and then transfer them to suffering and poor countries."

The berserker of the northern continent - Elephant Dragon (capture level 17).The green elephant body, the long snake-like neck and the head of a dinosaur formed a powerful beast. Raising its long neck, it roared out of the iron gate and entered the venue.

Door No. 13, the amphibious devil - the Walrus. (Capture level [-]), in addition to two ivory-like tusks, the walrus also has a huge body. Its huge body can even shake the earth when it moves, and its bloodthirsty eyes look like it can stand out from the crowd.

Door No. [-], the boss of Dora Vajra - Silverback.This silverback also had abnormal excitement, or in other words, all the animals in the arena actually had this weird fighting spirit.

Gate No. [-], the boss of Dora King Kong - Silverback.This silverback also had abnormal excitement, or in other words, all the animals in the arena actually had this weird fighting spirit.

Gate No. 14, the strange bird Goro Lud (capture level [-]), a yellow, ferocious carnivorous bird with five heads.

"They are all very powerful animals!" Xiaosong and Alu looked at them with envy.

"How about Chenxing boy?" Director Mansam asked as he looked at Chenxing.

"Well, they are all unpalatable ingredients with no edible value." Chenxing frowned, not showing any interest in these guys who were in their teens.

"Give" Chenxing took out a wine gourd from space and threw it to Mansam.

"What is this?" Mansam asked as he caught the wine gourd.

"Shark fin wine, the fins of puffer whales and the rice wine I brewed myself are very suitable for you, uncle." Chenxing smiled and said: "There is a ton in it, which is enough for you to drink for a few days."

"Oh, haha, this gift is good, I like it." Mansam said with a look of surprise.For an alcoholic like him, alcohol is half of his life.No, all of life.

"Don't be so excited. The finale hasn't appeared yet?!!!" Mansam opened the gourd and took a big sip. "Wow, it tastes great!!! This wine is exciting."

"This wine is [-]% alcohol. The wine itself has the sweet taste of bliss rice, and it also has the taste of seafood after roasting the fins of puffer whales. Isn't this a wine that can be bought on the market?" Chenxing smiled and nodded: "I still have some rainbow fruit wine brewed from rainbow fruits. I'll give you some later."

"Good boy, you have lived up to my expectations of you." Director Mansam was very happy.

"Chenxing, why didn't you give me this wine?" Alu smelled the aroma. Not to mention him, everyone nearby smelled the aroma of wine and looked over.

"No, I only made three bottles, one for myself, one for Uncle Mansam, and one for my master. If you want it, I'll give you my bottle!" Chenxing was also drunk, why is it so delicious? You want it too.

"Really, it's great." Alu happily took the wine from Chenxing and took a sip with joy.

"Well, the sweet texture of the bliss rice combined with the scent of the puffer whale's fins is so delicious."

"Give me some, Mr. Alu, I want it too." Xiaosong couldn't help it anymore.

"Gate No. [-] is the largest and strongest wolf from ancient times, Fighting Wolf!" Accompanied by warm applause and cheers, and the expectant eyes of Komatsu, who is particularly concerned about the word "wolf", the gate opened.Even Aru couldn't help but stand up.

"That's so awesome. Is that the legendary [tragedy of death] fighting wolf?"

"The legendary wolf?" Xiaosong asked in confusion: "The tragedy of death?"

What are the names of these? Why don’t I know them?And the enthusiasm of the people here, do they all know it?

"Oh. Is this the legendary wolf fighting?" Chenxing also knew about this wolf fighting. Although he didn't know how this legend came about, Jiro's apprentice, who was the son of the Wolf King Gines, was also brought to see it by Jiro. Once from the Wolf King.

Fighting wolves happen to be the race of the wolf king! ! !

"This sense of oppression is really real and powerful. Even though the distance is so far, you can still feel the pressure. Is this the majesty of the king of the ancient continent?" Alu said excitedly as he looked at Dou Lang who had walked out. .

"Doulang, the king from the ancient continent, is 18 meters long and weighs eleven tons."

"Huh?" Faced with the attack of four ferocious beasts, Dou Lang remained motionless.

Chapter 22 Enemies

"Huh? There's something wrong with that wolf!" Alu discovered the problem, looked at the situation, looked at Mansam and said, "That wolf is female!"

"Yes. What's wrong?" Mansam looked confused.

"It's pregnant and about to give birth." Chenxing said.

"Bald Head" At this time, the screen in front of them lit up, and a girl appeared in front of them.
