Rebirth as a Cooking God

From the Area A Arena, take a taxi back to Okurayama Villa.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu saw large and small express boxes stacked at the entrance. A maid leaned over and said, Chef Xia, these packages were just delivered by Black Cat Express not long ago.

Um, help!

Xia Yu called the maid, and Erina, who had followed him back, also stepped forward. Everyone moved the packages outside Xia Yu's bedroom and piled them on the corridor.

You shop so much online?

Nakiri Erina was surprised, but Xia Yu had no time to pay attention to her. He took the opening knife and opened all the packages. After a while, the floor was filled with various hiking and mountaineering equipment.

There are brand new jackets, one yellow and one green. This is essential equipment for carrying out activities under harsh outdoor conditions. It is windproof, waterproof and cold-resistant. Even if the season is not autumn but severe winter, Xia Yu can still wear the jacket to move freely on the snowy rivers in Hokkaido.

Of course, in addition to clothes, there are also canvas hiking pants, which are said to never wear out. Xia Yu has done enough homework when buying these outdoor equipment.

Next are the small pieces of equipment that are trivial but cannot be ignored, such as a sharp outdoor knife, which is needed in too many places, such as lighters, LED flashlights, military kettles and waterproof backpacks.

Seeing Xia Yu busy organizing outdoor equipment, Erina looked confused.

You buy so much outdoor equipment because you want to...

That's right!

Xia Yu gave the sorted clothes to the villa maid to clean and dry, and put other small items into her backpack.

Bang, opened the bedroom door, Erina followed him into the room, and found that there was a regional map spread out on the table in front of him, and Xia Yu took out another event arrangement form——

October 1st: Yuanyue team VS French College team.

…

October 8: Yangquan Restaurant team VS Orlando College team.

…

Starting from the 8th, the 16-to-8 knockout rounds will end and there will be a seven-day break. On October 16, the 8-to-4 knockout rounds for the half zone will begin.

and.

The promotion route is clearly marked on the schedule. The winner of the first matchup on No. 1, the eight-to-four knockout round, is scheduled for October 20, which is the last match of this stage.

So, from the 1st of today until the 20th, the Yuanyue team will not have to appear.

This period of time is too long. Xia Yu doesn't want to stay idle in the villa. Studying on cooking skills all day long will drive him crazy.

It should be in this area...

Erina listened to Xia Yu's soliloquy and followed him with her eyes. After Xia Yu finished reading the event schedule, he immersed himself in the Hokkaido mountain map on the desktop. He bit the end of his pencil and pointed at the cities in northeastern Hokkaido. Circle, Go to Asahikawa first, and then look for the specific location of Izumo Shrine. Once you find the shrine, you can roughly circle the area.

With a pencil, I drew a big circle on the second largest city in Hokkaido.

Xia Yu dragged the suitcase he brought from Tokyo out from behind the door.

Click!

After taking off his clothes, Xia Yu found a simple wooden box at the bottom of the box. He picked up the box and placed it on the table. After opening the box, there was only a well-preserved jade Ruyi and a rough hand-drawn map.

Nearly half a year has passed, and the ink on the paper has long dried.

The islands and hills looked very abstract because of the hand-painted brush. Xia Yu took the map and compared it with the detailed map of Hokkaido on the desktop. He shook his head for a long time and said: As expected, I still have to go on a field trip!

After saying that, he put away the map and stuffed it into his hiking backpack along with the wooden box, and continued to work hard.

Explain it to me clearly!

After watching for a long time, Nakiri Erina finally lost her last bit of patience, stepped forward angrily, and snatched the clothes that Xia Yu was organizing, Are you planning to travel far and climb mountains?

Do you know about Food Hunter?

Xia Yu turned around and grinned, I just plan to be a real food hunter!

oh--

After dragging out a long word, Erina looked at him very suspiciously, Are you alone? Do you have the skills to survive in the wild? The wild is very dangerous, so just don't go there. I heard that the invasion of fantasy species has been severe in recent years. The primeval forests of Hokkaido are the hardest-hit areas. The news said more than once that a mountaineering team mysteriously disappeared in the mountainous area, leaving no trace of their bodies...

He still spoke with the same strong words as before. Although he was not directly sarcastic, he was full of doubts.

Xia Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard Erina scare him with news, Erina, most people can't stand your unique concern.

G-care?

His cheeks suddenly turned red.

Um, can you give me back what you have in your hands?

Xia Yu pointed.

Erina snorted, and after taking a closer look, she realized that what she had snatched from Xia Yu was actually a pair of underwear. Her cheeks were even more hot, and her body was swaying subtly, as if she was about to faint from embarrassment.

…

Ten o'clock at night.

Yuanyue's participating team returned with a great victory, and the score was just as Xia Yu expected, three to zero, a crushing victory!

A group of people were enjoying a leisurely late-night snack after the game in the lobby of the villa.

The TV was on, and no matter how many channels or stations we switched to, there would be real-time news about the Yuanyue team's first win over the French team. Among them, the first opening show was talked about a lot, with celebrities commenting on each program.

This is the stage.

Zhu Qing put down the remote control. On the screen, there were close-ups of the dishes in a loop. That was the moment when Xia Yu put the dishes on the table.

Xia Yu coughed and put down the dessert fork. The plate of dessert in front of him had been wiped clean. When everyone's eyes gathered, he took a sip of tea and said slowly: I'm leaving for a while and will be back on the 19th.

Go back to Tokyo?

Dojima Gin glanced at Erina, who was unusually silent.

No. Xia Yu chuckled, I'm probably going to be a real food hunter.

Um?!

In an instant, the eyes of Zhu Qing, Dojima Gin, Nakiri Munue and his wife, and Roland Chapel were all wrong.

Chief, do you still remember the Chiyo Shrine assessment? Chiyo Shrine gave me a map. Half a year later, it was time for me to hunt for the first fantasy ingredient in my life. Xia Yu said.

You can't go without combat training, firearms training.

Dojima Gin shook his head and said solemnly: In the past two years, the situation has been wrong. Food mercenaries have died one after another. The IGO organization has also suspended the collective training of chefs. Otherwise, when you pass the Chiyo Shrine assessment, you should be The notice to the IGO was sent to the military camp to report.”

I know how to fight. As for firearms, I can learn them now!

Xia Yu has made up his mind and will not change his plan no matter what.

fighting?

Dojima Gin stood up, Okay, come with me and I'll try your skills!

So, Xia Yu followed Dojima Gin to the indoor gym of the villa.

This gym is closed on all sides. Only the door has no windows. When the lights are turned on, the wooden floor slightly reflects the light.

The two took off their shoes and wore only socks.

Dojima Gin unbuttoned his suit jacket and threw it away, and also unbuttoned a few shirt buttons, while Xia Yu wore a casual daytime look.

Others gathered around the sidelines.

He really knows how to fight? Erina said in surprise when she saw the young man facing off with Dojima Gin calmly.

Their level should be at the same level.

Zhu Qing said softly: The difference is that after tempering in actual combat and without actual combat...
