"This is Director Mansam, who is also the head of the Food Research Institute."
Xu Yong also introduced Mansam to the two.
"Hmm? Did you just say I'm handsome?"
However, after the two greeted each other, Mansam suddenly said this.
"Yes, I did say you're handsome."
Hearing this, Xu Yong also responded with a smile. Mansam's actions in the original book were indeed very handsome, and Xu Yong's praise was also from the heart.
"You are still the one who speaks well. Others never answer my questions."
Mansam was happy but also a little helpless. When other people heard him ask this question, they usually ignored it. Only Xu Yong would directly answer his question and praise him for being handsome.
And he could hear that Xu Yong was not flattering, which made Mansam a little puzzled. He didn't know why Xu Yong thought that a guy like him was handsome. He couldn't figure it out, so he just thought that Xu Yong just had a simple aesthetic problem.
" Haven't Toriko and the others arrived yet?"
Xu Yong glanced around. He didn't think Mansam was looking for him. He was probably waiting for Toriko.
"It's almost there. It will probably arrive in five minutes. By the way, this is your mutant demon snake. It looks pretty cool, but it's not as good as my Lichi."
Mansam looked around and praised Xiao Mo after seeing him. But he didn't forget to praise his companion Lichi before he finished.
Mansam's Lichi is a cheetah with wings. It's huge and has a capture level of 35. Well, it's no match for Xiao Mo at this stage.
Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato saw that they couldn't get a word in, so they went to play with Xiao Mo next to them.
A few minutes later, another plane landed, and Toriko and Komatsu walked out of it.
"Mr. Xu Yong!"
After seeing Xu Yong, Komatsu greeted him immediately. Toriko was not surprised. After all, when he received the commission, he knew that Xu Yong would go with him this time.
After the two sides greeted each other, Xu Yong also introduced his partners to the two.
"You are really amazing. You found two partners at once, and they are both very beautiful!"
Toriko was also a little surprised. After all, Xu Yong had never found a partner before, including their four kings.
He thought that only he had found Komatsu as a partner, but now Xu Yong actually found two, and they were two beauties.
As everyone talked, they walked inside. After entering the door, everyone saw the spectacular food conveying device.
Countless ingredients were conveyed out by the conveyor belt in front of everyone. There is no doubt that these ingredients are sent to all parts of the world.
This area is very large, and the elevator took a long time to reach another area.
"This is..."
Looking at the isolated small rooms, which contained various ingredients, Erina Nakiri couldn't help asking.
"This is the research and development area. The creatures you see are not born like this, but have become like this through a series of transformations, hybridization, and so on."
Toriko grew up here and was very familiar with the place, so she simply acted as a guide for everyone.
After he finished speaking, Nakiri Erina and Komatsu also understood, and it was not difficult for Nakiri Erina and Niito Hisako to understand.
After all, there are many such studies in the Shokugeki world, in order to increase production and improve the quality of ingredients.
It's just that the scale here at IGO is relatively large, and many of the ingredients studied are strange.
For example, the muscle crab that escaped in front of us, the capture level is level 3, and crabs should be crustaceans.
But IGO hybridized it with other creatures, and then the muscle crab in front of us was born, with crab meat all over the body and no shell.
"By the way, you guys just know what's going on here, don't go out and say it loudly, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
After locking the muscle crab back, Mansam spoke, and this was said to Nakiri Erina, Niito Hisako and Komatsu.
After all, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. People now have forgotten the famine-stricken scene in the human world before IGO became big.
People can do anything after they are full. Even in the world of food captives, there is a group of so-called animal protectors. Once they know what is happening here, they will always make some noise.
Although they can't shake the status of IGO, they can disgust people, so Mansam doesn't want the outside world to know what is happening here.
In response, everyone nodded. After leaving the research area, everyone came to the underground arena.
"Sure enough, it started again. Seeing these guys, I feel that even my appetite has been affected."
Toriko said as he looked at the people sitting around the arena.
"This is also unavoidable. You know it very well, don't you? We need this money."
Mansam shook his head and said, Toriko didn't say much about this. Although he was unhappy here, he also knew that there was nothing wrong with what Mansam said.
After everyone came to their seats, Nakiri Erina asked Xu Yong in a low voice. After all, they couldn't understand the conversation between the two just now.
"Toriko is a very special person. In his eyes, he will only kill animals that he has to eat or that he has to kill."
"This arena is for beasts to fight and sell tickets to make money, so Toriko is very unhappy with this model."
"But this arena has a reason to exist. The money earned from these people will be invested by IGO in war-torn areas to help those in need, so Toriko won't say much even if he is unhappy about this place."
Xu Yong said.
"IGO shouldn't be short of money, even if you can sell tickets here, it's not enough compared to IGO's industry. Why does IGO care about this income?"
Erina Nakiri had a question mark on her head. IGO is the largest organization in the human world, a super alliance composed of three-digit countries, and IGO is the main person in charge. Now IGO actually cares about such a small ticket. She didn't expect it.
"IGO is indeed very large, and the number of member countries has reached three digits. It can be said that most countries in the human world have chosen to become member countries of IGO."
"But at the same time, this also requires IGO to care about the feelings of these member countries when doing things. IGO's main assistance targets are some non-member countries, and the people in these non-member countries are suffering."
"If you use the money earned by member countries to save people in non-member countries, people will naturally have opinions, so IGO can only use the extra money earned to help those non-member countries."
Xu Yong briefly explained that IGO often affects the whole body, so when doing things, it is also necessary to consider the ideas of all parties.
