"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be plain bread with a deliciousness level of 1-100. It can be found all over the Gourmet Continent, and the danger level of plain breadfruit trees varies in different regions.
Further in, there are more delicious breadfruit trees, with jam, meat floss, cream, and so on. The main point is variety."
Thinking of the content in the Gourmet Continent official book, Hoshino Sora said slowly, "The magic of this continent lies here: the delicacies researched on Earth will appear in different forms on this continent."
After eating the bread, the two followed the team towards the Roasting Tribe. During their journey, people occasionally came over to chat. Hoshino Sora walked and talked with them, and they quickly became acquainted.
"That's truly amazing, to possess two legendary cooking utensils. I heard that legendary cooking utensils undergo new changes when they come to the Other World. I wonder if it's true or false."
A relatively short girl asked curiously, her gaze fixed on the Disassembly Knife hanging from Hoshino Sora's waist. This was a legendary cooking utensil!
"To unleash other functions, it must recognize a master. How difficult it is for a legendary cooking utensil to recognize a master! Just being able to obtain one is already a great fortune.
The ones collected in the academy are examples. Over the years, almost all the strong individuals on the Oriental Cuisine List have tried, but not a single one has truly gained the cooking utensil's recognition."
A Fat Man next to him spoke up. If it were easy for legendary cooking utensils to recognize a master, those utensils wouldn't be sealed in the treasure vault, and only exceptionally talented individuals could interact with them and attempt to gain their recognition each year, but all without exception failed.
The last successful one was fifty years ago, and that old gentleman has now passed away. It was he who experienced and spoke of the new changes that legendary cooking utensils undergo in the Gourmet Continent.
"Other functions, huh..."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Hoshino Sora thought of the changes that legendary cooking utensils undergo after recognizing a master, as well as the tremor he felt upon arriving in this world. He immediately took the Disassembly Knife into his hand and communicated with it intently.
The next moment, the Disassembly Knife changed. A large sword similar to a Zanpakuto appeared in Hoshino Sora's hand, looking incredibly powerful. Its blade was terrifyingly sharp, cutting through iron like mud and splitting hair.
"What is this?!"
The sudden movement made the people in front stop. Lin Chichi ran to Hoshino Sora with a look of surprise, carefully examining the Disassembly Knife in his hand, her expression shocked.
"Recognizing a master isn't that hard, is it?"
Hoshino Sora said in a showy manner, then casually slashed at the sky. The next moment, the wild bird flying in the sky fell to the ground, now cut in half, with clean wounds on its body.
"It'll be a perfect gift for the Roasting Tribe. This way, we won't go empty-handed."
Picking up the wild bird, Hoshino Sora laughed, completely ignoring the shock of the people around him. This type of bird was very plump, looking like the best material for roasting!
"Wait, you... how did you do that?! It suddenly grew bigger with a 'whoosh'! Did you really succeed in recognizing a master?! How is that possible? The Oriental Academy has been for almost fifty..."
Lin Chichi spoke somewhat incoherently, looking a bit disbelieving, but the facts were right before her eyes, so she looked at Hoshino Sora as if she were looking at a monster.
"Why would I lie to you? It can not only enlarge and shrink, but also change styles. However, I didn't expect it to be able to unleash blade energy and cut down such high-flying wild birds."
Looking at the birds fluttering in the sky, Hoshino Sora made several more slashes, each one surprisingly accurate. One slash even cut down two wild birds simultaneously.
For a moment, it started raining ingredients from the sky.
Everyone was greatly astonished, looking enviously at Hoshino Sora's Disassembly Knife, fantasizing that they were the ones displaying such power on the spot. Erina Nakiri smiled slightly at the situation and said nothing.
After putting all the ingredients into the bamboo basket on his back, the group continued their journey. This time, more people grew closer to Hoshino Sora, everyone curiously asking him how he had successfully recognized his master.
Hoshino Sora didn't hide anything and recounted what happened after he obtained the Disassembly Knife. Strangely, nothing similar occurred when he later acquired the Nine Revolutions Dragon Pot.
"Perhaps these cooking utensils actively choose their masters, and one can become its master by passing the trial it sets."
After listening to Hoshino Sora's narration, Erina Nakiri speculated, pinching her chin.
It's normal for treasures to have spirits and choose their masters. And to prevent choosing an incompetent master, a master-selection trial isn't incomprehensible.
It made logical sense.
Nodding, Hoshino Sora agreed with Erina Nakiri's statement. Regardless, he had indeed undergone a brutal trial before the cooking utensil recognized him as its master.
In fact, many fated individuals have undergone the trials of legendary cooking utensils. Most of them went mad because the trials were cruel, and the prolonged loneliness made people want to commit suicide.
"I'm not sure, but I need to tell my sister when we get back. After all, this is important experience in recognizing a master, and it might help others get legendary cooking utensils to recognize them."
With a hint of excitement in her voice, Lin Chichi spoke, quite agitated. It had truly been many years since anyone had made a legendary cooking utensil recognize them as master, so everyone was completely ignorant about this matter.
Now, Hoshino Sora had successfully recognized his master. Although the method for each cooking utensil might be different, perhaps there's a common thread, and it might just succeed?!
Thinking of this, Lin Chichi quickened her pace, wanting to quickly deal with the matters on Gourmet Continent and return to claim credit from her sister, as there were no effective means of communication in this world.
"Mhm."
Hoshino Sora nodded in agreement. He didn't care about these things, but he also had a very simple idea in his mind: to have his harem monopolize all the legendary cooking utensils.
The group continued forward. This time, significantly more people were talking to Hoshino Sora and Erina Nakiri, and there were more smiles on their faces.
Only the guy who had initially provoked Hoshino Sora still couldn't bring himself to face them, walking by himself with a puffing sound, trying to attract attention, but no one paid him any mind.
Everyone knew that Hoshino Sora was about to soar. To gain the recognition of a legendary cooking utensil, his potential and talent had already reached an unbelievable level.
Hoshino Sora didn't mind these people's two-faced behavior, only responding with a gentle smile. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling person; if others smile at him, he couldn't possibly respond with harsh words.
Erina Nakiri stayed by Hoshino Sora's side. Having been praised since childhood, she was quite experienced in such situations and felt completely at ease.
Soon, led by Lin Chichi, the group traversed mountains and valleys, finally arriving at their destination.
Located Halfway up the mountain, the Roasting Tribe wore clothes reminiscent of ancient China, coarse cloth and hemp, holding berries and hunted prey in their hands, with simple smiles on everyone's faces.
"Oh, Chichi, you're here. Long time no see."
Seeing Lin Chichi emerge from the forest, a woman carrying berries and heading towards the tribe to go home spoke, a hint of joy in her expression, then dropped the berries and ran over.
"Sister Bailing, long time no see! Did you miss me~"
Reaching out to embrace the full-figured woman in front of her, Lin Chichi said with a wide smile, while the people following behind her also looked around curiously.
Soon, some members of the group found acquaintances in the Roasting Tribe and jogged over to chat with them.
Of course, not everyone who came to the Roasting Tribe had acquaintances there.
