The Puffer Whale meat shimmered with a pink glow and appeared almost crystal clear.
The sashimi slices were so thin and transparent that the patterns on the plate beneath them could be seen perfectly.
“This meat is absolutely beautiful.
I’ve seen plenty of sashimi, but I’ve never encountered fish like this before,” Alice exclaimed as she picked up a slice and carefully examined it.
Although molecular gastronomy was her specialty, she had still handled many different kinds of meat.
Yet this was her first time seeing meat so beautiful.
It felt less like food and more like a work of art.
“Thank you for the food.” The Puffer Whale sashimi had no fishy smell whatsoever.
Its fat wasn’t greasy, and its delicious sweetness lingered endlessly.
The more they chewed, the richer and more mellow its flavor became.
When they closed their eyes, they felt as though they were swimming through the deep sea.
The Puffer Whale’s flavor was as profound and unfathomable as the depths of the ocean, filling them with an overwhelming sense of happiness.
It was impossible to stop eating.
Their mouths continued chewing as if they were no longer under the control of their brains.
“Umai!” Natsuki Minamiya instinctively exclaimed.
As a powerful Attack Mage, she had tasted countless delicacies.
However, the Puffer Whale wasn’t merely delicious.
It also contained a unique form of energy that was extremely beneficial to the body.
If ordinary people regularly ate ingredients like this, their bodies would gradually become stronger.
It was countless times more effective than the health supplements corporations advertised as miraculous products.
“Hah!
This wine is incredibly strong, and its flavor has so many layers!” Rocks exclaimed.
He couldn’t stop praising the Rainbow Fruit wine.
Its strength was impressive, but the richness of its flavor was even more surprising.
“There’s plenty, so drink as much as you want.
I had a cellar dug specifically for storing Rainbow Fruit wine,” Saku Hayashi said.
A single Rainbow Fruit could be used to brew a tremendous amount of fruit wine, and its alcohol content reached eighty-five percent.
The alcohol in the One Piece world probably wasn’t nearly this strong.
Despite its high alcohol content, the Rainbow Fruit wine didn’t produce an excessively harsh or burning sensation.
Even people who weren’t good at drinking could easily enjoy the feeling of becoming intoxicated.
“Gojo Satoru, what do you think of your student Yuji’s talent?” Saku Hayashi asked.
In the future, Yuji would become the mighty Tiger Emperor.
His strength would exceed all reasonable limits.
“Yuji?
He’s incredibly talented.
Perhaps he’ll reach my level someday,” Gojo Satoru answered without hesitation.
He thought highly of Yuji, but not because of his status as Sukuna’s vessel.
Yuji’s physical constitution and comprehension abilities were both among the finest Gojo had ever seen.
“Unfortunately, Yuji can still control himself now, but as he consumes more fingers in the future, Sukuna will have a high chance of seizing my adorable student’s body.” Gojo Satoru sounded troubled.
Honestly, he didn’t want Yuji to be executed.
However, he also had no method of dealing with Sukuna.
Sukuna’s current condition resembled spiritual possession, rendering even Gojo’s most powerful attacks useless.
“If the problem involves the soul, I have someone under my command who possesses the Soul-Soul Fruit.
She can touch souls and even modify them,” Rocks said, thinking of Linlin.
“However, although her Devil Fruit ability is unusual, it doesn’t have much effect against powerful individuals or people who aren’t afraid of her.” “Gojo Satoru, if you need any help, don’t hesitate to tell us when the time comes.
No one here is stingy,” Saku Hayashi said.
“Group Leader, you said you’ve been in the group for many years.
How many points have you accumulated from signing in?
You don’t have to answer if it’s a secret,” Elysia asked curiously.
Saku Hayashi glanced at his current points balance.
“Around three hundred and fifty thousand.
Sometimes the daily sign-in rewards me with useful items instead of points.” Perhaps he had grown accustomed to hoarding resources while playing games.
Instead of spending his points whenever he accumulated a few, Saku Hayashi had practically never touched them.
He would only spend them once he found something he genuinely wanted.
That was also why his current strength hadn’t reached a completely heaven-defying level.
“Hiss…” Everyone sharply inhaled, stunned by the number of points he had accumulated.
They currently possessed only a few thousand points each and hadn’t even managed to save ten thousand.
Was this the wealth of a veteran Group Leader who had been signing in for more than a decade?
Even someone as composed as Kevin couldn’t conceal his surprise.
“You’re unbelievably good at saving.
You even managed to resist spending them.
Are you planning to buy something extremely expensive?” Natsuki Minamiya asked, deeply impressed by Saku Hayashi’s patience.
She had expected him to have tens of thousands of points remaining, but she had never imagined that he would possess several hundred thousand.
Was he planning to save until he reached one million?
“Ahem.
I’m simply accustomed to hoarding resources, so I never spent them,” Saku Hayashi explained with a light cough.
There were several things he wanted to purchase, such as an Ohma Zi-O Driver, a Kryptonian physique, or a divine spark… However, none of them were urgently needed.
With his Gourmet Cells, he could continue growing stronger simply by eating more delicious food.
“By the way, Daigo, would you like me to train you sometime?” Saku Hayashi asked.
“Huh?” Daigo opened his mouth in confusion.
He couldn’t understand why Saku Hayashi had suddenly suggested something like that.
“It would definitely be useful.
Having a strong body will help you with your future missions,” Saku Hayashi said with a mysterious smile.
An Ultra’s human host greatly influenced the Ultra himself.
Z and Haruki were the perfect example.
The half-baked Ultraman Z had found an exceptional human host and was immediately carried to greater heights.
“If it wouldn’t be too much trouble for you, Mr.
Hayashi…” Daigo considered it briefly.
There didn’t seem to be any downside to exercising and strengthening his body.
Tsurara smiled without saying anything.
After spending more than ten years with Saku Hayashi, she understood exactly what his smile meant.
He was definitely planning to tease Daigo.
“Kevin, I have a question.
Do you know how to cook?
Even simple dishes count.” Kevin froze briefly before answering, “I can prepare simple dishes, although I haven’t cooked in many years.
Why do you ask?” “You know why the Kaslanas are terrible cooks, don’t you?” Saku Hayashi asked meaningfully.
Kevin’s expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this.
He could roughly guess the reason.
“They probably inherited the part of MEI’s genes that couldn’t cook.” Although thinking about MEI still filled him with sadness, Kevin couldn’t bring himself to dishonestly praise her cooking.
It had been so terrible that anyone who ate it would need to visit a hospital and have their stomach pumped.
“I never saw MEI cook, but she didn’t seem like someone who would know how,” Elysia said, thoughtfully stroking her delicate chin.
As someone devoted entirely to research, how could MEI have found the time to study cooking?
Judging from Kevin’s expression, her food must truly have been awful.
That inability had even been passed down to her descendants.
Those genes were frighteningly powerful.
“Kevin, what was the name of your and MEI’s child?
With the two of you as his parents, he must have been extremely handsome.” “…” Kevin fell silent, and a complicated emotion flashed across his face.
“Adam.
He had her eyes…” “Adam?” Elysia hadn’t expected Kevin and MEI to give their son such a name.
Saku Hayashi interrupted, “Your son must have been capable of becoming a Fusion Warrior.
Did he choose to give up that opportunity himself?” “Yes.” Kevin nodded.
“He didn’t want an unnaturally long life.
He only wanted to grow old alongside his lover and reach the end of their lives together.” Kevin hadn’t stopped him.
He had respected Adam’s choice and given the couple his blessing.
However, Kevin couldn’t live like Adam.
He still had far too many things left to accomplish.
