[toriko]: It's live, it's live! The big eater mukbang is starting. If everyone enjoys watching, please don't hesitate to tip.
[Gourmand Dungeon]:???
[Gourmand Dungeon]: How did you know there was a livestream function?
[toriko]: There's a real-time playback button next to the recording mode. Isn't real-time playback just livestreaming?
[dark souls iii]: Ashen One tipped a Heavy Gem. Please keep up the good work, streamer, and create more glory!
[Gourmand Dungeon]: You guy, stop pretending to be the Narrator!
[toriko]: Thank you for the gem, big brother! I wish you smooth sailing, everything going your way, and auspiciousness every day, month, and year.
[Gourmand Dungeon]: You really think you're a streamer now... [toriko]: Brothers, I'm going to open your eyes today. Look, a wild Skeleton Medusa has appeared! I'll perform a 'Pao Ding carves the Medusa' live for you. If you think the streamer is doing a great job, please type 'Awesome' in the public chat!
[dark souls iii]: Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
[Gourmand Dungeon]:...The peak of the Gourmet Pyramid.
Zombie Xia Yu had an expression as if he couldn't bear to look, while Gourmet Xia Yu was gesticulating wildly, pointing at a Skeleton Medusa ahead.
The Skeleton Medusa is a low-level monster within the Gourmet Pyramid. It's a mammal with a one-eyed snake-like head covered in hair that looks like snakes, hence the name Medusa.
However, the Skeleton Medusa isn't nearly as gorgeous as the real Medusa; it looks completely like an ugly, obese monster. But this monster is actually edible... [toriko]: My friends, keep the gifts coming! I'm going to perform a live raw-eating of the Medusa!

[dark souls iii] @[soul knight]: Don't you usually stay away from the chat? Why are you lurking here today?
[soul knight]: I'm usually studying or going through the Dungeon, where would I find the time to chat? But I wanted to rest for a few days, so I came to hang out.
[soul knight]: Tsk, eating it raw, what a ruthless guy... The Chat Group was chatting heatedly, but Gourmet Xia Yu didn't care about any of that. Seeing the Skeleton Medusa charging at him without the slightest fear, he curled his lips, and an aura of a predator instantly filled the space.
His gourmet cells had already been activated back in the Resident Evil world. Although they had only just been activated and hadn't evolved yet, they already gave him a hint of a terrifying presence.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't noticed the demon residing in his cells. Perhaps as Resident Evil Xia Yu said, for someone like him who could travel to other worlds, it was difficult for a demon to take residence.
After all, if you think about it, if a demon were residing in him, the moment he ran to another world, the demon of this world would surely be blocked.
After finally settling into his gourmet cells, to suddenly be thrown out—what demon could take that kind of grievance? Better not to move in at all.
After reaching this conclusion, Gourmet Xia Yu came to terms with it. Since he couldn't host a demon, he would simply do as Resident Evil Xia Yu said and become a Gourmet Demon himself.
He wondered if, after becoming a Gourmet Demon, he could also reside in someone else's gourmet cells.
Forget it, that's thinking too far ahead. For now, he should focus on making his gourmet cells evolve.
"Roar!!"
Under Gourmet Xia Yu's pressure, the Skeleton Medusa didn't turn and run. Instead, it blustered and threatened, attempting to scare away the enemy in front of it.
Gourmet Xia Yu wanted exactly this kind of enemy. It wouldn't be interesting if it just surrendered; he wanted one that could resist, as that would make it taste better.
Why do I feel like a pervert?
Gourmet Xia Yu shook his head to suppress the strange thought that had surfaced, then opened his large mouth and pounced toward the Skeleton Medusa.
He said he'd eat it raw, so raw it was!
High-grade ingredients like this are delicious even when eaten raw. It just looked very unrefined, but that didn't matter—they were all his own selves, no one else was around.
Watching Gourmet Xia Yu pounce on the monster ahead, Zombie Xia Yu just shook his head. No class, absolutely no class. He simply couldn't bear to look.
[dark souls iii]: Good, well eaten! You have to eat the large intestine original flavor. Tipped!
[dark souls iii]: Ashen One tipped a Large Soul of a Nameless Soldier. Please keep up the good work, streamer, and create more glory!
[clash of clans]: Large intestine, I only eat it original flavor.
[soul knight]: Life is truly unpredictable; the large intestine wraps the small intestine.
[Gourmand Dungeon]:...As a chef, Zombie Xia Yu found this painful to watch, especially since the one raw-eating the large intestine was another version of himself. No, he couldn't take it anymore!
"Get away from there! You really are something, eating it raw!"
Zombie Xia Yu flew over and kicked away Gourmet Xia Yu, who was still holding and raw-eating the Skeleton Medusa. The Skeleton Medusa was already dead, and Gourmet Xia Yu had finished half of it in a short time.
[Gourmand Dungeon]: Bear Grylls' wilderness survival segment is over; now it's time for the cooking show!
After posting that in the group, Zombie Xia Yu waved his hand and used Necromancy Spells to separate the bones from the meat.
Manipulating bones and corpses is the foundation of Necromancy Spells, which makes them very suitable for cooking. By controlling the bones to automatically strip away from the corpse, one can get the most perfect deboned meat.
Then, with a slight roasting using Ghost Fire and a sprinkle of seasoning, a simple dish of roasted meat was complete.
"Eat this! This is real food!"
After finishing the remaining half of the Skeleton Medusa, Zombie Xia Yu grabbed the roasted meat and threw it at Gourmet Xia Yu.
Gourmet Xia Yu had just caught it when he threw it back out because it was too hot, but he quickly caught it with Telekinesis, preventing the meat from hitting the ground.
Smelling the aroma of the roasted meat, Gourmet Xia Yu swallowed. This indeed smelled much better than eating it raw.
Without further hesitation, Gourmet Xia Yu started eating.
*Crunch, crunch~*
[dark souls iii]: Disappointed.
[clash of clans]: Boring.
[soul knight]: Not as good as eating it raw.
[Sekiro]: Indeed, eating it raw has more flavor.
[Genshin Impact]: Plus one.
[Gourmand Dungeon]: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
..."Zebra, I smell a very fragrant scent!"
Inside the pyramid, Toriko and Zebra were heading downward when Toriko twitched his nose, and drool began to leak from the corner of his mouth.
Toriko possessed a sense of smell far beyond that of ordinary people or even dogs, capable of distinguishing tiny differences in the air and judging an opponent's strength through scent.
At the same time, his powerful sense of smell allowed him to clearly catch the scent of food in the air.
"This smell... it's a bit like the Skeleton Medusa we just ate, but it's been cooked. It smells so good..."
As he spoke, more and more drool leaked from Toriko's mouth. Zebra snorted coldly and said unhappily,
"It seems one of those two is a chef. Tsk, we need to find the brat quickly so he can help us cook the ingredients here."
"What?" Hearing this, Toriko turned his head in surprise. "One of those two is a chef? No wonder they can cook the ingredients here. Then let's hurry and find Komatsu! I hope Komatsu's cooking utensils aren't lost."
After saying that, Toriko grabbed Zebra and rushed toward the stairs leading deeper into the pyramid, not even caring about the beasts along the way... "Time to go!"
Watching Gourmet Xia Yu finish the last piece of meat, Zombie Xia Yu grabbed his arm and stomped hard on the ground.
In an instant, the floor constructed of special stones collapsed, and the two figures fell through.
"Is there really a need to be in such a hurry?" Gourmet Xia Yu asked helplessly while adjusting his falling posture.
With two thuds, the two landed on the next floor. Zombie Xia Yu didn't reply but instead pulled out a Holy Stun Grenade.
Holy Stun Grenades, like Holy Hand Grenades, can deal holy damage, but the stun grenade doesn't deal significant damage. Its main principle is to use a massive sound and blinding holy light to daze people, making it a non-lethal bomb that strips enemies of their defensive capabilities.
As for why he pulled out a bomb, it was because a Unicorn Cerberus had appeared in front of them. It was a creature like a three-headed hellhound, with a single horn on each of its three heads.
This creature wasn't very tasty; not only did it have little nutritional value, but its meat was also tough. Zombie Xia Yu didn't bother collecting this ingredient.
After throwing the Holy Stun Grenade, Zombie Xia Yu pulled out a sharp tachi and directly cut a shortcut to the lower floor under their feet.
Following the violent explosion overhead, the two of them quickly advanced toward the lower levels.
However, if they encountered special ingredients along the way, they would still stop for a moment. Zombie Xia Yu continued to collect, while Gourmet Xia Yu continued to livestream his raw-eating.
A moment later, a strange shaking suddenly occurred within the pyramid.
"It looks like that Nitro is about to wake up." Feeling the shaking from beneath his feet, Zombie Xia Yu said.
"Aren't we going to save Komatsu?" Gourmet Xia Yu asked casually, using his Divine Sense to perceive what was happening below.
"Save him? Of course we'll save him. After all, Komatsu's Food Luck is so strong; there's no harm in befriending him. However, he's not in danger right now. Let's finish our own goal first."
After saying that, Zombie Xia Yu closed his eyes to concentrate, holding his sword with both hands. Then he suddenly snapped his eyes open, and in the blink of an eye, he slashed out four streaks of blade light. The light passed through the floor beneath them as if cutting through air.
With the sound of crashing debris, the layers of flooring beneath them were all sliced open, the cuts smooth and even without a hint of roughness.
"Alright, the room at the very bottom is the Dry-sleep Chamber for many Nitro. Let's go down." After cutting the shortcut, Zombie Xia Yu spoke while sheathing his sword.
Gourmet Xia Yu nodded and then leaped straight down. Zombie Xia Yu followed closely behind. After the sound of wind in their ears for a dozen seconds, the two successfully landed.
Upon landing, what appeared before their eyes were rows of placed coffins. Simple patterns resembling the sun were carved on the lids of the coffins, but the sun in the center wasn't circular, but rather an inverted teardrop shape.
