**Chapter 1561: No.0011 Shokugeki World!**
Dishes that glow.
This scene aroused great interest among the Otherworld Strategy Committee. After all, who doesn't like delicious food?
It also gave the Hidden Mist Ninjas collecting intelligence in the new world a clear direction. Immediately, under the instruction of Xia Rixing Jōnin, they successively delved into the culinary world of various nations.
It is worth mentioning that the 'Star Gate' opened yet again in this magical island nation (Japan). This made Minister Kaze Fufeng really want to know why.
At the same time, more and more intelligence was transmitted back.
Two days later, on the morning of March 6th, Chairman Fernandez of the Otherworld Strategy Committee and five Vice Chairmen gathered. They held a meeting based on the information they had collected so far.
Kaze Fufeng, as the chief of staff, served as the main speaker.
"No.0011 World is a technological civilization in the Gregorian Calendar year 2012, which is nine years later than the Nuclear World."
"However, the development level of various nations in the military aspect is clearly inferior to the Nuclear World before we conquered it."
"They were still cutting military budgets and reducing troops until last year, and publicly claimed that they only needed to retain enough military power to maintain the basic order of the nation, because there would be no more armed conflict in the future, and this seems to be the mainstream thought of the entire world."
Chairman Fernandez, Bulwer Administrative Minister, Mallen Finance Minister, and others present looked at each other, all saw surprise and incomprehension on each other's faces.
"In contrast, their development level in civilian technology is higher, especially in kitchenware."
Speaking of this, Minister Kaze Fufeng couldn't help but show a strange expression, but he continued speaking.
"Because the nations of this world attach great importance to delicious food and highly respect the chefs who have mastered superb cooking skills."
"When they resolve various conflicts, they will organize their respective chef teams for public matches. The loser must agree to the requirement set by the winner as a 'wager' before the match."
"And this cooking skill match between chefs is called 'Shokugeki', supervised and managed by a world gourmet association called 'World Gourmet Organization'."
"The most amazing thing is that the chefs in this world do possess some kind of extraordinary power."
"According to the ninjas' investigation, they claim that during the cooking process, they can inject their beliefs such as their ideals for the cuisine, love, persistence, and wishes into the food, causing the finished cuisine to undergo sublimation in appearance and taste."
"And this so-called culinary sublimation, depending on the level of cooking skill, will cause the diners to produce various illusions and physiological reactions of different degrees."
"The ninjas who have tasted the cuisine of many famous chefs have personally experienced this."
"They said that the moment the food entered their mouth, their body and perception would briefly lose control, falling into a feeling of wonderful happiness."
"They even said they didn't realize when they finished eating, and when they came back to their senses, the food on the plate had been eaten completely; it was definitely delicious to an abnormal degree."
After speaking, Minister Kaze Fufeng paused to give everyone time to digest.
Chairman Fernandez and the others opened their mouths but couldn't make a sound. Because they really didn't know what to say.
What the hell kind of bizarre world is this?
Using cooking skill duels to solve various conflicts at the international and even social level?
Hey, is it that guns can't shoot bullets, or blades can't kill people anymore?!
For them, who were used to solving problems by fighting and killing, this was truly difficult to understand.
"Ahem, Chairman, do we still need to send the Star Realm Army to invade?"
Minister Kaze Fufeng looked at Chairman Fernandez.
"Yes, we definitely need to send them. After all, our purpose is conquest, but..."
Chairman Fernandez couldn't continue.
It was like they were going to beat up a chef who completely didn't want to fight and only wanted to make delicious food. There was always a feeling of being unable to bring themselves to do it.
After all, they were also human and liked chefs who could bring them delicious food.
Putting everything else aside, who among those present didn't have a privately hired chef at home?
And they had to be someone certified as a high-grade chef by the Chef Association to be worthy of their identity and wealth.
"Instruct the Star Realm Army to try their best not to damage the chefs of this world!"
Minister Safray Lass of the Foreign Affairs Department nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this is all we can do."
After all, conquering a world would definitely involve a war, and war would inevitably result in casualties.
"Ah, I'm actually curious about how delicious the dishes they make are. I hope I can taste this kind of glowing cuisine that can make people fall into illusions soon."
Minister Hobson of the Ministry of Justice showed an expectant smile.
He was the most gluttonous vice chairman among those present.
Basically, whenever he had vacation time, he would tirelessly return to the Sea Star Mainland.
Just to eat a bite of the cuisine made by Vice President Jessica in Spring Queen City, where the Chef Association Headquarters is located.
Because he could both eat delicious food and admire beauty.
Unfortunately, she was already married, alas...
Soon, the intelligence regarding No.0011 World was organized and sent to the Five Elders.
These men who held the highest apparent authority in the World Government were also incredulous at such a bizarre world culture.
Although they had already conquered multiple worlds, they still felt like their perspective had been greatly broadened.
Indeed, the multiverse is vast, and there is no lack of wonders.
Will there be similar bizarre worlds in the future?
"Has the Star Realm Army decided which troops to send?"
Warcury Saint pondered for a moment and then looked at Saint Nasujuro beside him.
"Army Lieutenant General Karl Gustav Mannerheim's Third Army Group. Their re-equipping progress is nearing completion and they can be fully committed to combat."
Warcury Saint: "Then let's follow the established rule, first occupy the island nation (Japan) where the Star Gate is located, set it up as a special zone, and then declare war on other nations."
"We don't need to worry about these things anymore. The Star Realm Army and the Otherworld Strategy Committee are sufficient to handle all matters."
Saint Nasujuro clearly didn't have much interest in this No.0011 World.
Because for him, food only needed to fill his stomach.
Only fresh sashimi could give him a moment of delight.
"Alright, let's report to Lord Imu. I'm leaving first."
Saint Nasujuro, holding the Shodai Kitetsu, got up from the sofa and left.
"It seems that boring people lose interest even when they encounter an interesting world~"
Peter Saint, dressed in a suit with golden hair and a golden beard, sat with his legs crossed and teased Saint Nasujuro's back.
"I, on the other hand, am very interested in the chefs and cuisine of this world. What about you?"
Saint Saturn: "We can try it."
Marcus Mars Saint: "I hope there are chefs who can satisfy Lord Imu. This is my biggest expectation for this world."
Not long after, Im, who had just returned after touring the Meteor Race Homeworld, finally saw the intelligence about the new world.
"World Gourmet Association?!"
The moment he saw these words, his heart sank.
Because he thought he had encountered the world where 'Gourmet Hunters' existed this time.
Looking at the descriptions mentioned below the report, such as 'dishes that glow' and 'so delicious they make people fall into illusions'.
The more Im read, the more he felt he had guessed correctly, which made his mood increasingly serious.
It wasn't until information related to 'Totsuki Culinary Academy' appeared that he realized he had misunderstood.
Then he remembered that the abbreviation for this World Gourmet Association was 'WGO', not the 'IGO' he had thought it was.
Although it was only a difference of one letter, the pressure in Im's heart immediately dissipated.
Because this 'Gourmet World' was not that 'Gourmet World'.
No, this No.0011 World should be called 'Shokugeki World'!
