Yosaku was a man who didn’t much like to follow the rules. Of course, the rules he broke were only of two types: the unimportant ones, and the ones he believed were wrong.

So, he gave off a very rough impression, which was why his public image was so poor.

Though Yuuki didn’t exactly like his personality, he didn’t dislike it either. He did think Yosaku’s abilities were quite strong.

Upon learning of Yuuki’s arrival, Yosaku let out a sigh of relief. After all, teaching him was a task assigned by Granny Setsuno, and Yosaku, who feared nothing in the world—was most afraid of her.

Who knew how she had punished him in the past to instill such a degree of fear.

"My apologies, Mr. Yosaku. I went to the Gourmet Pyramid first, so I was delayed."

Yuuki explained the reason. It wasn’t that he had intentionally stalled—he had been at a critical moment in improving his culinary skills and had temporarily forgotten about this matter.

"The Gourmet Pyramid! You really went to a place like that? Right, you’re the one Granny Setsuno sent. How could you be weak!"

Hearing that Yuuki had gone to the Gourmet Pyramid, Yosaku’s eyes lit up. In the Human World, the Gourmet Pyramid was an extremely dangerous area. To be able to go there and return safely meant that one had basically reached the peak of what the Human World had to offer.

"The Gourmet Pyramid? Chef Yuuki, you went there? I’ve heard of it. It’s said to be very dangerous, but it seems to have some very good ingredients!"

Toriko said. Not just him, but the others had also heard the legends. In the Human World, the Gourmet Pyramid was known as one of the Seven Gourmet Wonders. Its danger level could be imagined.

"In the Gourmet Pyramid, there’s an ingredient called Mellow Cola. If all goes well, you’ll go there eventually. I’ve already left the method for capturing it there. You’ll know how to do it when you see it."

Yuuki said with a smile. Toriko and Zebra would inevitably go there. There was no harm in telling them now that he had left the method—they would see it when they arrived anyway.

"Mellow Cola? I’ll remember that!"

Toriko nodded. He knew now wasn’t the time to be thinking about ingredients. The most important thing was to heal his injuries.

"Alright, enough talk. Let’s get to the treatment. These little guys’ injuries are quite severe. But it’s not a problem. Resuscitation Shock!"

Yosaku didn’t waste any more words. He tossed the members of the Gourmet Mafia into the air and then used a wave of Resuscitation Shock. This move, Yuuki could clearly see, was a Knocking technique.

With it, the bandages on the three of them were completely removed, and the unconscious men were instantly awakened, their faces contorted in pain.

Yosaku’s movements looked incredibly rough, but in Yuuki’s eyes, there was no problem. The places he struck were all precise pressure points. It was crude, but with a fine touch.

The three conscious men didn’t even have time to react before they were thrown into a Therapy Tulip. This thing could heal many injuries in just ten minutes.

But it also had a very peculiar characteristic: if a person who was only unconscious or uninjured entered, they would be eaten by the tulip.

But as long as the person was injured, they wouldn’t be eaten. It was a very good medicinal plant.

Next, Yuuki and the others watched as Yosaku spit on the other people. That’s right—spit healing. Yosaku had modified his own body.

Forget his saliva—even a drop of his blood had strong healing properties. But if saliva could solve the problem, he certainly wasn’t going to bleed himself.

"SO GROSS!"

Seeing this, the color drained from Sunny’s face. It couldn’t be helped—he was a man who loved beauty. Seeing Yosaku’s methods made his face turn grim.

If Sunny had to experience that, he would probably rather die.

"Alright, you’re next. Toriko, your arm is a serious problem. To recover, it will take at least twenty years!"

Yosaku said. His words stunned everyone present except for Yuuki and Teppei.

Komatsu was also baffled. The Century Soup had already been made, and he hadn’t gone to the Ice Hell this time, so he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. But to hear that it would take twenty years... he was completely floored.

"Twenty years is pretty good. After all, Toriko has Gourmet Cells. You know, he’s missing an entire arm. To regrow it from nothing isn’t so simple."

Yosaku rolled his eyes. Though stronger Gourmet Cells meant stronger recovery ability, Toriko’s weren’t at a level where he could Revive a severed arm.

But Yuuki knew that this guy was one of the protagonists of this world. The Red Demon inside him had helped him recover his body more than once.

In the original story, it was because of the Red Demon that his arm had instantly recovered.

And later, during his battle with Starjun, he was already on the verge of death, but when the Red Demon came out, it not only seriously injured Starjun but also repaired Toriko’s injuries.

It was just that Toriko himself was so beaten down after the war that he fell into a depression—only going to find Komatsu after some time and encouragement from others.

"It’s actually going to take twenty years to recover!"

Sunny was also helpless. But he had to be treated—he couldn’t just leave it be. So, Toriko could only accept Yosaku’s treatment.

"In that case, Toriko will stay here for treatment. As for you, Yuuki, you can learn the basics with Teppei first. His Reviver skills are quite good. There’s no problem with learning from him at the beginning."

Though Setsuno had told him that Yuuki’s learning ability was terrifying, in Yosaku’s view, no matter how terrifying, he couldn’t possibly learn all the basic knowledge in one day.

He would have Yuuki learn with Teppei first. After he finished Toriko’s initial treatment, he would have time to teach him.

"In that case, Chef Yuuki, you can study with me for this period!"

Teppei didn’t refuse. He had heard from Setsuno and Jiro just how formidable Yuuki was. He had even heard that his Knocking proficiency had already surpassed his own.

In that case, he could also exchange Knocking techniques with Yuuki while teaching him. So, he was quite happy to build a good relationship with him.

"Finally, you. Your name is Sunny, right? One of the Four Heavenly Kings. You look very healthy. What are you here for?"

Yosaku looked at Sunny. He was the only one left. In his eyes, Sunny was perfectly healthy, with no problems at all. So Yosaku was a bit curious as to why he was here.

"I came to find you for information on a certain ingredient. It’s said that only you know about it."

Sunny said, his face turning very serious.

"Information on a certain ingredient? And only I know? Kid, you’re not trying to ask about EARTH, are you!"

Hearing Sunny’s words, Yosaku thought for a moment and guessed what he wanted to ask.

"EARTH? You mean the dessert from Acacia’s Full Course Menu?"

Hearing this, the others were shocked. They never thought Sunny would ask about such an ingredient, let alone that Yosaku would know about it.

This was Acacia’s Full Course Menu! Acacia was the Gourmet God! If they could taste such a food, they would have no regrets.

"That’s right, EARTH. So you really do know!"

Sunny’s face lit up with delight. Though he had heard that only Yosaku knew the information, he had come here just to try his luck. He never thought Yosaku actually knew.

"I do know about EARTH. But I’m not going to tell you!"

Seeing Sunny’s delighted expression, Yosaku directly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"WHY?"

Sunny was completely baffled.

"Kid, you don’t think you can get information about an ingredient just by asking, do you? You know, Acacia’s Full Course Menu is an extremely precious ingredient."

"Even for information on a normal ingredient, you have to pay. You’re not trying to get it for free, are you!"

Yosaku shook his head and said.

"I see. I understand. Then name your price. What will it take for you to give me the information on EARTH?"

Sunny asked.

"The price I would name, you can’t afford. An ingredient like EARTH lives in the Gourmet World, and even there, it’s extremely precious."

Yosaku shook his head. He was actually bluffing. Sunny wanted to know the information—the IGO had records of it. He wasn’t telling him now because Sunny hadn’t grown up yet.

Getting this information now would only have a negative effect on him. So, Yosaku had made up an excuse not to tell him.

But what he said was also true. If you wanted information on an ingredient, you naturally had to pay. For a super-high-level ingredient like EARTH, the price would naturally be even greater.

Sunny couldn’t afford the price.

....

"DAMN IT!"

Hearing this, Sunny was also helpless. Because what Yosaku said was right, he couldn’t afford the price. But he didn’t want to just give up. So, under the pretext of taking care of Toriko, he decided to stay for a while.

He hoped to find a chance to get the information from Yosaku.

Afterward, to avoid embarrassment, Sunny also told his sister Rin what had happened.

Rin immediately rushed over after receiving the news. With her there, Sunny was a bit more relaxed and began to scheme how to get the information.

....

As for Yuuki, he followed Teppei to a massive library, also built within the Mother Wood.

"This is where all the various techniques and basic theories of the Revivers are stored. Besides a few special techniques, you can find the vast majority of Reviver skills here."

Teppei said. These materials were contributed by all the Revivers because the profession was too small.

If everyone kept their secrets to themselves, the community would never grow.

To avoid this, some powerful Revivers in the past had taken the lead in establishing this place, contributing the vast majority of their materials. Besides a few of their ultimate trump cards, they had contributed everything else.

Because of this, anyone who wanted to become a Reviver could come here to study.

But the barrier to entry for the profession was a bit too high, so many who came to study gave up after a while. Slowly, this library became quiet.

Only occasionally would someone interested in being a Reviver come here to study. Of course, because the collection here was so rich, some Revivers would also come here to look up various materials.

After bringing Yuuki over, Teppei quickly moved between the various bookshelves, occasionally pulling out a book.

In the end, he came to Yuuki with over twenty thick books.

"Though you’re very strong in cooking, Chef Yuuki, this isn’t a test of your culinary skills. These are the basics of the Reviver profession. You’ll need to spend some time memorizing all of this."

Teppei said. And these materials didn’t even include the specific details of various ingredients. If those were added, it would be truly terrifying.

But Yuuki had already memorized the characteristics of various creatures long ago.

As for these books, though they looked thick, and it would probably take a normal person several months just to read them, let alone understand their meaning—

—But for Yuuki, it was different. He could easily memorize the contents of the books and analyze them clearly. He estimated he could finish them all in less than a day.
