Chapter 20 Acupuncture Master Jiro
If Qiu Yu goes head-to-head with Zebra or Alu, Qiu Yu will definitely lose (without using system props).
Why?
They are both C-level cells, but the difference lies in the food demon.
There is a food devil sleeping in all the food cells. When the food devil awakens, not only will the activity of the cells increase, but the host will also be given special abilities.
There are those that enhance body perception, such as smell, hearing, and vision.
Some are endowed with special abilities, such as gravity and fire.
There are also ones that enhance certain functions of the body, such as lung capacity and poison resistance.
In addition, there is another thing in common, which is the pressure on living organisms. Living things targeted by the food demon will feel that they are under the gaze of natural enemies and will be eaten at any time.
On the stage, Shuji did not fully release his food demon, so Qiu Yu and others did not react much, but they just felt that Shuji was in danger.
But Alu and Zebra are different, because they both have the food demon, so they feel not only the superficial oppression, but also the powerful food demon behind it.
It is so powerful that all the food cells in their body are telling them that it is extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, when all the people who had not been promoted walked out, the dangerous aura on Xiuji's body subsided.
Qiu Yu quickly looked at the people around her, as if she was looking for something.
Just now, when Xiuji said that the first place person was named Jiro, Qiuyu was startled.
Because in the original work, there is a powerful character also named Jiro.
"I wonder if it's him?"
Jiro, the legendary gourmet hunter known as the "Acupoint Master", whose specific age is unknown, is one of the top three powerful men in the world.
It is not difficult to find a person with obvious characteristics among twenty-six people.
What's more, finding an old man with a stooped figure among a group of tall and powerful men.
Wearing a yellow vest, holding a bottle of wine in his right hand, with his left hand behind his back, his wrinkled face was flushed with drunkenness, and his gray hair was combed into an airplane hairstyle.
"It's really him~" Qiu Yu was a little excited. Her mood was like that your favorite anime character suddenly appeared in front of you, and it was exactly the same as in the anime...
Um?
"Appraisal..."
S-level or above gourmet cells, a powerful acupuncture technology that can acupuncture the earth and even time.
"This acupuncture skill is at least god-level!" After browsing Jiro's skills, Qiu Yu said with confidence.
"So did Aru lose to him?" Seeing Jiro, Qiuyu's previous doubts were answered.
After recovering, Aru heard Qiu Yu's whisper and thought he was talking about points, so he asked:
"Qiu Yu, do you know who the man named Jiro is?"
Zebra next to him was obviously very interested in the person who defeated him and Aru, and he also looked at Qiu Yu.
"Did you see that old man over there?" Qiu Yu raised her chin in the direction of Jiro: "He is Jiro."
Following Qiu Yu's gaze, Jiro's thin figure came into their eyes...
Alu said directly to Qiu Yu: "Actually, you don't know either!"
Obviously, these two people don't believe it at all, which is normal. If Qiu Yu hadn't read the original work, he wouldn't believe it either.
After sorting out her thoughts, Qiu Yu said, "Do you know the 'Acupuncture Master' Jiro?"
"Who is that?" Aru replied.
Qiu Yu was startled for a moment, but she was relieved when she thought that it would still be a long time before the plot started.
"He is called..." After introducing Jiro to these two people, Qiuyu added at the end: "It is said that his strength is comparable to that of igo's president."
After hearing these words, Aru and Zebra's expressions condensed slightly. As disciples of President Igo, they knew how powerful their master was. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or false, the strength of Jiro, the 'acupuncture master', should not be underestimated.
"That old man is the 'Acupuncture Master' Jiro!"
…
"Everyone! Congratulations on reaching the finals!" Xiuji said.
"Final! Final of 29 people?"
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
"You heard it right, it's the final. This time the champion, second and third place will be decided directly."
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta~"
The sound grew from far to near, and finally, a helicopter flew over everyone's head. No... it wasn't just one. After the first one, a total of 29 helicopters stopped in the open space.
After all the planes landed, Xiuji continued: "Wait a minute, you will each take a helicopter, and they will take you to the competition location. Everyone's location is different.
And this time, your mission is to eat up all the food in that place. The one who takes the least time will win. So, do you still have any questions?"
…
Seeing no one answered, Xiuji said:
"If there is no doubt, then you can get on the plane."
But no one moved.
"Don't worry! There is the same amount of food in all competition locations!" Hughie said, seeing through the players' thoughts.
After hearing Xiuji's assurance, some people started to get on the plane.
"The rules of this competition are quite simple!" Qiu Yu said as she randomly selected a helicopter.
"See you later, Alu."
On the other side, Alu and Zebra have also chosen the plane they want to take.
"Qiu Yu, I'll treat you to puffer whale after the game. See you later!" After saying that, Aru entered the helicopter.
"By the way, Aru doesn't seem to have this attribute in the original work, right?"
Get seated in the helicopter.
Seeing that Qiu Yu had put on her seat belt, the driver said: "Let's go!"
…
About two hours later, the helicopter landed on an isolated island in the sea.
In the cabin, Qiu Yu looked out the window and saw a forest with biscuit leaves.
Recalling the food he saw everywhere when he circled the island before the helicopter landed, Qiu Yu had an ominous premonition...
At this time, the driver said: "Mr. Qiuyu, I will always stop here. You can come back to me after you finish all the food."
"Mr. Driver, may I ask...what does it mean to eat all the food?" Qiu Yu's voice was trembling.
"That's all the food on this island." the driver replied.
…
"All people are similar, right?" Qiu Yu asked.
"Yes. The amount of food is almost the same, but some are mountains and some are islands."
"Then I feel more balanced. At least I'm not struggling alone."
…
Walking into the forest, Qiu Yu grabbed a handful of biscuits and ate them.
"Great job!"
…
On the other side, Alu’s destination is a ‘roshan’, which literally means a mountain made of piled meat.
Now, Aru has thrown himself down.
…
And Zebra is now in a "desert". If you look carefully, you will find that this "desert" is made of fried noodles.
