The Ultimate Gourmet Hunter System

(Brain Storage Area)

(Note: Both the male and female protagonists in this book are adults~)

The neon lights of the late-night city were filled with an intoxicating, luxurious atmosphere, especially in Kabukicho, Shinjuku.

Here, you could see all kinds of bustling shops, with handsome men and beautiful women standing at the entrances, trying to lure customers in to boost their sales.

In a small alley next to Kabukicho, a somewhat old-fashioned shop turned on its lights and began its business.

This was a shop without a signboard, but its regular customers usually referred to it as the "Midnight Diner," as it operated from midnight until 7 a.m. the next day.

At this moment, inside the Midnight Diner, a middle-aged man with a scar at the corner of his eye was teaching a young man who stood about 1.85 meters tall.

"Xiao Mo, the miso I use for my pork miso soup is Hatcho Miso from Okazaki. It has a richer flavor compared to regular miso, making it perfect for soup~"

"If a customer orders miso ramen, you can use the regular white miso from the fridge. That suits the taste better~"

"Got it, Grandpa Kobayashi~"

Bai Mo silently memorized the shop owner's words.

While the pork miso soup was still simmering, the shop's door slid open.

An elderly man wearing a hat walked in. Upon seeing Bai Mo, who was wiping the counter, he was visibly surprised.

"Welcome!"

"Ah, hello~" After greeting, Uncle Zhong directly asked the shop owner, who was still busy in the kitchen, "Boss, is this the relative you mentioned who came to help? Didn't you say he was a college student?"

"Ah, yes, he is a college student~" After glancing at Bai Mo's robust physique, the shop owner, Kobayashi Kaoru, shook his head. "This kid wasn't this muscular before~"

"Isn't that great? With a body like that, he'd be a natural at sports. Playing soccer or basketball would definitely attract a lot of girls' attention~"

In response to Uncle Zhong's praise, Bai Mo simply smiled and shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not really into sports~"

After all, he was afraid he might not be able to control his strength, turning basketball into a deadly game and soccer into a weaponized sport.

Bai Mo was, more or less, a native of this world.

However, his soul came from another world, kindly delivered by a dump truck from the 18th floor.

Even though I was in a mountainous city, this is just too ridiculous!

After reincarnating into this world, Bai Mo became an Easterner (Donghuang person) from a wealthy family, transitioning from a lonely, overworked "negative second-generation" to a carefree "rich second-generation."

Bai Mo could only say one thing: It was a good death!

However, after awakening a system at the age of ten, he finally understood what kind of world he was living in.

The reason he activated the system was simple: he had a meal prepared by his father's friend.

That friend's name was Yukihira Joichiro!

Isn't that the father of a certain "Food Wars" protagonist?

Who would have thought he was friends with my dad?

But the most important thing was that after eating the food prepared by Yukihira Joichiro, his system finally activated.

The system was called the [Ultimate Gourmet Hunter System]. By tasting delicious dishes, he could gain strength.

He could even travel to other worlds to find exotic ingredients and cuisines.

As a reward for activating the system, he initially received perfectly adapted Gourmet Cells.

This power came from the world of Toriko, where one could evolve and gain strength through eating.

After activating the system, Bai Mo pestered Yukihira Joichiro to cook many dishes for him, allowing his newly acquired Gourmet Cells to accumulate strength.

After Yukihira Joichiro left, Bai Mo even convinced his parents to travel across the country to taste various delicacies.

Faced with their son, who seemed to have developed a gluttonous nature thanks to Yukihira Joichiro, Bai Mo's parents had no choice but to indulge him.

However, due to the effects and development of his Gourmet Cells, Bai Mo's sense of taste had surpassed that of ordinary people.

The dishes made by ordinary chefs now seemed full of flaws and obvious mistakes to him.

This made Bai Mo's father think of the legendary "God Tongue" from Japan.

The Nakiri family's God Tongue was world-famous, so when Bai Mo's father learned that his son had awakened a God Tongue, he was extremely worried.

After all, he was well aware of the rumors about the Nakiri family—how one of their members survived on glucose injections and couldn't stomach most foods.

Fortunately, while Bai Mo's sense of taste had become incredibly sensitive, he could still eat ordinary food, which put his father's mind at ease.

In reality, Bai Mo was suppressing his sense of taste. For him, ordinary dishes were just a way to replenish nutrients.

However, in a country as vast as Donghuang, there were bound to be many skilled chefs.

Over the years, Bai Mo had tasted many delicious dishes, allowing him to gain numerous abilities from the system.

For example, his current muscular physique came from the magnetic martial arts described in the Huangji Jingshi Shu.

In addition, he had also acquired the powerful Haihu Five Ultimates.

Although his current physical strength and magnetic power only allowed him to play with electric currents and not achieve magnetic rotation, he already possessed strength far beyond that of an ordinary person.

After learning that this world's Japan had the Totsuki Culinary Academy, a major event location, Bai Mo had asked his father a few years ago to let him study in Japan.

Now, he was learning culinary skills from his father's old friend, Kobayashi Kaoru.
