Time flies by like a fleeting moment.

More than three years have passed since Gioia's death.

"We are currently in the period of puffer whale hunting once every ten years. The stock prices of companies that employ famous gourmet hunters continue to soar, and the average share price of gourmet food is rising towards high levels..."

Puffer whales, known as delicacies of the deep sea, have appeared in freshwater areas for the first time in ten years, triggering a series of impacts. Food companies, gourmet hunters, chefs... people from all walks of life around the world are inspired by the news.

Among these people from all walks of life, there is also the protagonist of this novel - Qiu Yu. He is now sitting on the train heading to the spawning ground of puffer whales.

Qiu Yu has two purposes for this trip. The first purpose is the same as others, which is to capture puffer whales. Not only for his own desire to eat, but also for the commission from Bairen Black Shop members (trap card: one year

Once, you can entrust Bai Ren to capture ingredients). The second purpose is to meet the protagonist's partner [Alu-Komatsu] who will save the world in the future.

In fact, the second goal has been achieved.

Just in front of Qiu Yu's seat, Alu was drinking wine boldly. He bought all the drinks in this carriage and concentrated them on his table. And his partner Xiaosong sat in front of Alu, listening to

Aru was talking about the information about puffer whales.

From Qiu Yu's position, he could just see Aru's front face and Kosatsu's side. Yes, this position was specially chosen by Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu held the physical book displayed by the system in her hand and looked at it, occasionally raising her eyes to look at Alu.

At this time, a strong and hairy man with two followers stood in front of Alu and the two, and shouted at Alu to give him the wine. He was very arrogant.

Qiu Yu recognized the identities of these three people at a glance: Zongjia and his younger brother. These three people appeared in many chapters of the original plot, including Cave Beach, Ice Hell... Although they always had to deal with the captured

Food materials may be missed, but you can still be safe when setting foot in these dangerous places. The food luck cannot be underestimated.

The subsequent development of the plot is not much different from the original work. After seeing the threatening and strong figure of Alu, who is several heads taller than himself, Zongjia decisively gives in, gets the wine and leaves in despair.

'Next, if nothing else happens... Jiro will also come here to beg for a drink.'

"Isn't this Qiu Yu? It's really strange to see you here!"

The familiar voice coming from behind interrupted Qiu Yu's thoughts. When she turned around, she saw that the person behind her was Jiro whom she had just thought of.

"Long time no see, Jiro, you seem to be in good spirits!" Qiuyu replied with a smile.

"It's been a long time since I drank puffer whale fin wine, so I'm looking forward to it." Jiro was smiling with a unique drunken blush on his cheeks. To anyone who looked at him, he was just a drunk old man.

"It's a rare encounter, how about walking together?" Jiro asked.

Naturally, Qiu Yu would not refuse, and Yujiro could save some effort by saying, "I have no problem."

"Wait a moment!" Jiro told Qiu Yu and walked towards Aru's seat in front of him.

Not long after, Jiro came back with a bottle of liquor.

When Jiro sat down opposite, Qiu Yu glanced at the two Aru chatting in front of them, and asked calmly: "Is there anything special about those two people?"

Jiro smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Why do you ask? I just feel my mouth is dry and I just went to borrow a bottle of wine to drink."

Qiu Yu rolled her eyes when she heard this, flipped her left hand, and took out a bottle of whiskey in her palm, "You clearly know my ability, but you didn't ask a question before going to borrow a drink, and you just went to a stranger to ask for a drink.

If there was nothing fishy in this, I would have poured out the bottle of whiskey on the spot."

"That won't work!" Jiro held the white wine he had just borrowed in his left hand, and grabbed the whiskey in Qiu Yu's hand with his right hand. In the blink of an eye, the whiskey was already in his hand. He unscrewed the bottle cap and smelled the aroma of the wine.

, he said: "Such good wine cannot be wasted!"

After saying that, Jiro raised two bottles of wine and poured it down his throat. Two different liquids met in his mouth. The alcohol stimulated his throat and taste buds, making it hot and uncomfortable.

In less than thirty seconds, both bottles of wine were consumed.

"belch--"

After a loud belch, Jiro's face turned even redder.

Qiu Yu turned over and took out another bottle of wine, looked at Jiro with a smile, and said seductively: "Do you want more? I have a lot more!"

"You brat!" Jiro scolded with a smile, and took the new wine with his hand honestly.

Seeing this, Qiu Yu hit the snake on the stick and asked, "Can I say it now?"

Jiro opened the bottle cap and said, "There's nothing bad to say. That tall young man is a disciple of Ichiryu, and Ichiryu thinks highly of him. According to him, he is the person who will lead the gourmet era in the future.

.I just happened to meet him, so I will find a chance to get to know him. As for that little man..."

Jiro stopped and took a sip of wine, and then said: "To be honest, I don't know him. But he gives me a similar impression to Xiao Jie, and he should be a good chef in the future."

After listening to Ichiryu and Jiro's comments about these two people, Qiuyu had to secretly sigh that people have become better with age. If nothing else, just saying that their eyesight is enough to amaze people.

After sighing, in order not to reveal the fact that she had known the two of them for a long time, Qiu Yu pretended to look at Aru with interest, and then quickly looked away.

Thanks to the past three years, Qiuyu often played role-playing as a shadow clone and developed good acting skills, otherwise he would not be able to hide it from Jiro.

...

Chatting and drinking with Jiro, about an hour later, the train stopped at [Gourmet Fajin].

Gourmet Fajin is a town famous for its divination, and it is also the nearest inhabited town to the cave beach. Although it is the closest, it is actually about ten kilometers away, and this journey requires trekking.

After getting off the train, Qiu Yu and Jiro headed in the right direction. In fact, there was no need to identify, just follow the crowd. Ninety-nine percent of the passengers on the train just now were gourmet hunters who came to capture puffer whales. These people

I had already made preparations, got off the car and rushed directly to the cave beach.

Qiuyu and Jiro maintained a leisurely pace, staying away from the mainstream team. "Jiro, the road is a bit far, why don't I open [any door] and go directly?"

"What's the rush!" Jiro said leisurely: "The so-called food hunter is not just about catching the ingredients in the end. The process of finding ingredients is also an important part. You must learn to enjoy getting along with the natural environment. Overcome the difficult environment and defeat the vicious monsters.

The beast, in this process, strengthens its own belief, this is the real food hunter.
