30 Chapter 26：IGO International Gourmet Organization！

IGO!

His hand rubbed the silver letters on the surface of the metal suitcase. Xia Yu found that it was not locked.

With a click, the cover was opened, and there were two brochures and a bank card in it.

There was a book on the top. The cover was a thin layer of black metal, and most importantly, the cover still had the logo of 'IGO'.

"What is this?"

Xia Yu was puzzled. He picked up the brochure that looked like a certificate and opened his mouth.

There was only one side of the book. At the top was Xia Yu's portrait, and the under it was written in Japanese and English:

"Xia Yu, Chinese nationality. Has lived in Nihon for a long time and is 16 years old. Good at Chinese cuisine."

"One-star chef."

"IGO International Gourmet Organization Certification."

The content of the page was relatively simple. There was a scrawled personal signature in the lower right corner. Xia Yu could barely see that it was Shinhara's signature.

Moreover, the signature had two red seals. One was from the Nihon Department of IGO, and the other was the personal work seal of Shinhara.

There were many occasions to use seal in Nihon, so the intermediary often asked Chinese students to get a seal before going to Japan.

Of course, the focus was not on the seal. Xia Yu kept a firm eye on the words of IGO International Gourmet Organization and took a breath.

He finally remembered that IGO was the abbreviation of the terrorist food organization.

International Gourmet Organization!

In the 'Captive of Gourmet', this food institution even controlled the global order. The number of member states surpassed the United Nations Organization, covering more than 360 countries.

That was the original comic story. Of course, there were not that many countries in the real world. Xia Yu had not heard anything about IGO in these years.

It could be inferred from this that IGO was certainly not as powerful in this world as in the original comic book, otherwise it would not be suppressed by the state and could not make its own voice.

Xia Yu patted his head.

Xia Yu realized that the smiling detective man in front of the counter, a real man, was the manager of the Nihon Department of IGO. He did not think too hard about it. If there were any questions, he simply asked.

"IGO? International Gourmet Organization?" Xia Yu conveyed his surprise very well, deliberately changing it into a questioning tone.

"Yes."

"You are now an IGO-certified international one-star chef. You are qualified to know the existence of our IGO," Shinhara Masato said slowly, "Soon after the end of the Second World War, our IGO broke away from the United Nations and became a completely independent international institution." 

"We have our own Bureau of Publicity, Bureau of Affairs, Bureau of Justice, Bureau of Management, Bureau of Finance, Bureau of Development, and Bureau of Defence."

"Of course, that's the headquarters. The Nihon Department is relatively simply set up. There are only the Defence Bureau, the Administration Bureau and the Legal Bureau."

"Look at the second manual. That is the restaurant qualification of IGO."

Shinhara pointed to the second black book in the metal box.

Xia Yu's heart jumped. He picked up the certificate and opened it. Sure enough, his personal portrait photo was pasted on the page. The personal information and restaurant information were pasted on the bottom.

"Now that you have taken over Xia's restaurant, and Mr. Xia Qing has left Nihon for a while, we can only rate your restaurant as a one-star restaurant according to your current chef level."

"One-star?" Xia Yu asked tentatively, "How many grades does the restaurant have?"

"Normally, it's nine stars, and then the restaurant directly under IGO," Shinhara answered.

"What's the use of your star rating?"

Now Xia Yu was not sure what kind of influence IGO made in the world.

"It's very simple. With our certificate, you can safely run the restaurant regardless of the business license of other government agencies," Shinhara said with a smile, "If there are any problems in your restaurant, such as fire and food safety, government personnel will come to your door. You can take out the IGO certificate. Things will be transferred to the administration of the Nihon Department of IGO, and we will deal with them internally."

"Your grandfather has arranged everything."

He then stood up, reached out to Xia Yu and said, "Give me your cell phone."

Xia Yu heard the words and handed over his mobile phone with doubt.

Shinhara also took out his mobile phone, as if it had opened bluetooth data transmission. A newly installed mobile app appeared on the background of Xia Yu's mobile phone.

"Open it. The login ID is your real name, and the password is your resident ticket number."

Huh?

After taking back the mobile phone, the mobile app had been opened. There was a simple login interface, waiting for him to enter his login ID and password. Xia Yu went upstairs to find his own resident ticket, which was almost equivalent to a household register in Nihon.

"Welcome to IGO online."

After entering, there was a beautiful female voice speaking in the standard Japanese language.

The upper left corner of the app interface was the automatic positioning information: Nihon, Tokyo.

A row of categories appeared on the screen:

[Food Market]

[Battle of Food Wars]

[Application of New Ingredients and Development of Recipes]

The last part was a leisure forum, which seemed to be the place where IGO certified chefs filled up forms and chatted. It was divided into various regions. There were more than 100 latest posts in the Nihon region.

"Food Market?"

These words happened to poke the most concerned question in Xia Yu's heart.

Without hesitation, Xia Yu went in. Eh. Xia Yu found that it was similar to some take out software. There were a variety of food stores covering the whole Nihon area from Hokkaido to Kyushu Island and Okinawa-Jima.

He entered a food and materials store called 'Tokyo Aquatic Seafood' and found that there were actually many comments from IGO certified chefs, some of which were anonymous, some of which directly used their real names.

"As always."

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Senju. Every batch of goods is strictly controlled. We use the freshest aquatic products in our Misty House and make Nihon cuisine that satisfies our guests," commented a very virtuous female chef. 

Misty House. It sounded familiar.

Xia Yu was stunned. He took a look at the portrait image of the virtuous cook and her anonymous ID. He patted his forehead.

Inui Hinako.

Known as 'The Lady of the Fog', she was good at Nihon cuisine.

The key point was she was the 80th issue of Togetsu, the second seat of 'Togetsu's Top Ten'!

"Togetsu Graduates!"

Suddenly, Xia Yu was interested. He looked under her ID and counted in silence. There were five little stars. Did that mean that she was a five-star chef at IGO?

He could not help muttering.

The second seat of Togetsu's Top Ten only had a five-star qualification after graduation.

The original attention on food ingredients immediately turned to the exploration of Togetsu graduates. Xia Yu was a little addicted to looking through the evaluation of various food stores to find the characters he was familiar with.

Kojiro Shimiya, six-star chef.

Suwon Fuyumi, five-star chef.

Chihisa Kiku, four-star chef.

Tsunosaki Taka, four-star chef.

...

Xia Yu focused on the current top ten, and the most powerful the 69th top ten. He only found the evaluation of Isshiki in a curry food store.

Isshiki was a three-star chef.

However, according to that guy's characteristic, he should be clumsy. His real strength was likely to be four-stars.

'There is no sliver of Dojima, no Sainami Joichiro and no Naginiri. It seems that the graduates of the older generation in Togetsu are relatively low-key, and they may also rarely use IGO's mobile software,' Xia Yu thought.
