"That is to say, the gourmet devil will choose its own host. Originally, everyone is a 'candidate' for each gourmet devil. When a human with gourmet cells meets certain conditions, it will stimulate the dormant gourmet devil. If there is a gourmet devil awakening at this time and sees his potential, it will awaken in him. At this time, as a host, the food eaten will be transformed by the gourmet cells and become energy that the gourmet devil can absorb.

The gourmet devil that has already chosen a host cannot have two hosts at the same time. It either absorbs enough energy from the host to revive, or waits until the host dies, and the gourmet devil falls asleep again, waiting for the next opportunity to be awakened..." Jie said.

Guan Liyuan suddenly realized... For example, when Lin ate the black hole gem meat before, the will of the "gourmet devil" had already descended. It should be that she stimulated one or several dormant gourmet devils at that time.

Unfortunately, it may be that Lin's condition was not very good at that time, and the evolution of gourmet cells was not high, so no gourmet devil chose her...

If the gourmet devil chooses "mistake", it cannot change the host before the host dies, and after the host dies, it will fall asleep again. Every time it falls asleep again, it weakens its own death thoughts.

Therefore, the gourmet devil will not easily choose a host, and once it has chosen, when the host is in danger of death, the gourmet devil will also actively stimulate the gourmet cells. In the original work, there were several times when A Lu's gourmet cells took the initiative to respond to self-preservation when his life was in danger.

The corresponding is "self-eating"...

The gourmet devil will never "starve" itself to death before the host dies. If there is really no energy, they will choose to eat the host as a last resort!

"So... the gourmet devil's way of 'resurrection' is 'eating'? Is there no more direct way?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.

Jie Nai was surprised to hear this and said: "Ah... You are really stupid! Didn't you understand what I said at all? Although the gourmet devil can promote the evolution of your gourmet cells, if it is too strong, it will backfire!"

Jie Nai meant that from the perspective of "self-eating", the ultimate goal of the gourmet devil is still resurrection. If one day the host reaches the point where it can revive the gourmet devil as long as it is swallowed, or if it can no longer maintain the existence of the gourmet devil, the backlash will come.

"Or... have you really been recognized by the food demon?" Jie Nai changed the subject and asked with a gleam in his eyes.

Of course, there are exceptions. Some food demons will recognize their hosts... For example, Oga, one of the food demons of Alu in the original work, chose to be absorbed by Alu's food cells to achieve Alu when he could devour Alu to revive.

However, if you are not sure whether your food demon recognizes you, it is best to concentrate on cultivating food cells. The food demon is just an "accelerator."

"My relationship with the food demon is quite special... Let's just say it is recognized." Guan Liyuan said.

Guan Liyuan's three food demons are different from other food demons in origin. They only have the same nature of existence. Backlash does not exist, but the way of "resurrection" should be the same!

"If you are so confident, it's okay to tell you... Generally speaking, the food demons rely on the energy transformed by the food cells to maintain themselves, but if we really compare them, usually each food demon has its own favorite ingredients and dishes, which can accelerate their resurrection.

In addition... the life menu of the legendary food god Acacia has the power to resurrect food demons. It is said that eating the whole menu can revive any food demon." Jie Na said. "

Then has the food demon of Acacia been resurrected?" Guan Liyuan couldn't help asking.

"Who knows... Okay! You have disturbed me for long enough, go out, go out, you will be the referee of your partner later, right? If you lose, you don't have to think about the food demon... Let's go to Shilin Temple together!" Jie Na chased Guan Liyuan out.

Although Guan Liyuan could feel that many of the things Jie Na knew were not said, the clues about catalyzing the resurrection of food demons have been revealed.

Ordinary dishes can only keep food demons from "starving to death". There are two kinds of suitable and excellent ingredients that are really effective for "resurrection".

Guan Liyuan's three gourmet demons were formed for different reasons from other gourmet demons. White Tiger and Medusa still need energy to maintain, while Penguin can even move forever, so they are extremely picky eaters... They don't need dishes that can only maintain their own existence!

The representative of "excellent" dishes is Acacia's Life Menu, which can be said to match almost all gourmet demons from ingredients to cooking methods.

However, Acacia's Life Menu has not appeared in the world for five hundred years, and many of the ingredients have a hundred-year maturity cycle...

In addition to Acacia's Life Menu, which is temporarily out of reach, it seems that the only "appropriate" dishes can be started from the penguin's preferences, which are often the things that the gourmet demons liked to eat when they were alive.

However, after Guan Liyuan asked, it turned out that the penguin himself didn't know what he wanted to eat, and he had never eaten anything!

After being temporarily in trouble in this regard, Guan Liyuan went to Liu Maoxing's kitchen to see how his duel dishes were prepared. Because Guan Liyuan was also one of the three judges, Liu Maoxing had not asked him to taste them before for fairness.

Just approaching the kitchen where Liu Maoxing was, Guan Liyuan saw a reception table in the middle of the corridor. The bald manager of the Gourmet Hotel was sitting here. When he saw Guan Liyuan, he took the initiative to say, "Well? Mr. Guan, are you... going to find Chef Liu? Chef Liu said that no one is allowed to approach the kitchen before the cooking is finished. You see..."

"No one is allowed to approach? So mysterious?" Guan Liyuan muttered.

If it was in Conan's world, Liu Maoxing would have been dead by now!

"By the way... you are actually guarding here in person now?" Guan Liyuan glanced at the bald man.

"No, no, I am honored to be able to guard outside Chef Liu's kitchen." The bald manager's attitude was completely different from the previous few days.

Originally, the managers had complaints about Liu Maoxing borrowing the kitchen and borrowing the ingredients, but later they found that... the failed products of Liu Maoxing's experiments could all be used as top cards to attract customers!

After getting Liu Maoxing's approval, the bald manager of the hotel used Liu Maoxing's daily test products and opened a new menu of "daily special treats". Even in less than a week, it attracted reports from food magazines.

The so-called "daily special treats" are very similar to the rules of Jie No Canteen. In short, you eat whatever you are given. Moreover, the reservation price is very expensive, the queue is very long, and the supply is uncertain. After all, Liu Maoxing doesn't know how many failed products he can "produce"!

However, Liu Maoxing readily accepted the bald manager's proposal. It would be a waste to leave the failed products. The failed products of his simulated century soup cannot be stored indefinitely like the real century soup in nature, as if they will never go bad...

Of course, Liu Maoxing only provided those failed dishes, and Xiaosong made up the rest. During these seven days, Xiaosong also tasted every failed dish of Liu Maoxing every day, and then used the taste of these failed dishes as the core to match other dishes.

And for the sake of fairness, Liu Maoxing also specifically told Xiaosong to cook honestly, not to give him suggestions, and not to meet him directly!
