On the vast ocean, with no clear direction in sight, he had no idea where to go.
Having generated some chakra, Ximen Yan stood steadily on the surface of the sea.
He kept thinking about his next move.
Should we just ride the Moltres and fly around aimlessly in the sky, hoping for the best? Or...?
Just as Ximen Yan was hesitating, a ship came into view.
Although it is somewhat inappropriate to approach the ship by stepping directly on the sea surface.
As for pretending to have encountered a shipwreck, he couldn't be sure if the people on the fishing boat had noticed him.
If he has already been discovered, pretending to be shipwrecked would seem redundant.
Moreover, he didn't care if these people were panicking.
As Ximen Yan drew closer to the fishing boat, the people on board did indeed become somewhat flustered.
Who knows if someone who can run on the sea is actually human?
Perhaps it is some unknown mysterious creature, or perhaps it is a terrifying being with supernatural powers.
Regardless, Ximen Yan still approached the fishing boat.
Then, with a light leap, Ximen Yan jumped onto the fishing boat.
He looked at the group of wary and somewhat fearful sailors and gave them a kind smile.
"Excuse me, I am Ximen Yan, a scientist."
"I was testing my newly invented water walking shoes."
"Just like its name suggests, these shoes allow me to walk on water."
After saying that, Ximen Yan even lifted his foot to show off his shoes.
Don't say that, because their own strength is relatively strong.
His shoes are made of very special materials.
So it does look somewhat like science fiction.
Even so, Ximen Yan didn't think he could get away with it.
However, to Ximen Yan's surprise, many of the crew members on the ship accepted this explanation.
Mainly, in their view, if it weren't for such a miraculous invention...
How then can we explain Ximenyan's ability to walk on water?
Moreover, in their minds, scientists are always omnipotent and capable of creating all sorts of unimaginable novelties.
"I knew it! How could anyone just be running on the sea for no reason?"
One of the crew members patted his chest and said with lingering fear.
"Yes, I think so too."
Another crew member chimed in.
As a result, the atmosphere among the crew members became more relaxed.
....................................
"I got so engrossed in the experiment that I ran too far and now I'm lost."
"I wonder if you could take me to the nearest port?"
"Of course, I'm willing to pay."
Ximen Yan looked at the captain of the fishing boat and asked him.
"Of course, no problem. We're on our way back anyway."
"As for compensation, there's no need for that."
The captain said it quite readily, waving his hand generously.
"Thank you so much."
A smile appeared on Ximen Yan's face.
Even if he didn't want to be escorted, he could simply ride the Firebird there.
After all, he already knew the fishing boat's course.
"However, Mr. Simon's invention is truly amazing!"
"Water walking shoes, if I could, I would like to buy a pair."
The captain looked at the shoes on Ximen Yan's feet with great interest, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"There will be an opportunity for this, but it's not a very mature invention yet, so it still needs improvement."
Ximen Yan replied calmly.
Unfortunately, his shoes were completely made up.
"Is that so? It seems Mr. Ximen Yan is indeed a very responsible scientist!"
“We also have a scientist on our island, a very eccentric person.”
"Although the other party is indeed a genius who has invented many things."
"But the things he invented are of no use whatsoever except to cause us trouble."
The captain said with a hint of helplessness, his brow furrowing slightly, as if recalling those troublesome experiences.
"Really? I wonder if you could tell me about it?"
Ximen Yan asked with some curiosity.
He felt that if he learned more, he might be able to determine the world he was in.
The captain cleared his throat and began to speak.
"That scientist's name is Flint. He spends all his time holed up in his strange research lab tinkering with all sorts of novel things."
"Once, he created a television that could move."
"As a result, that thing ran around everywhere and almost made a mess of the whole town."
"On another occasion, he combined a mouse and a bird to create the mousebird."
"When you get to town, you can often see rats with wings."
The captain shook his head helplessly.
It's completely unclear what Flint was thinking.
Listening to the captain's story, Ximen Yan also confirmed that he was in the world he was in—the world of heavenly delicacies.
As for the story of this world!
In short, the scientist named Flint successfully developed a super food manufacturing machine.
This super food maker can continuously produce a wide variety of delicious foods.
It was even sent into the sky.
Then, an unbelievable rain of food began to fall, enveloping the entire island in food.
Such a wondrous sight of delicious food falling from the sky undoubtedly fills countless people with longing.
However, due to overuse, the superfood maker eventually went berserk.
This then triggered a series of disasters.
Hmm, it's a very cliché story.
For Ximen Yan, having experienced the world of Gourmet Devil, such a scene of food falling from the sky was not unusual.
However, the value of this superfood maker should not be underestimated.
Especially for the captivating world of food, the disasters that the human realm will suffer are imminent.
The superfood maker will definitely play a huge role.
He will deliver the machine then.
Toriko and the others should at least treat him to a meal from the entire planet's menu to make it reasonable.
Beyond the world of Gourmet Devil, super food makers might find their place elsewhere in the future.
Chapter 567 Experiment Failed?
After half a day's voyage, the fishing boat slowly came to rest on Dayan Island.
Once on the island, there were advertisements for sardines everywhere, but the island looked deserted.
Sardines were once the mainstay of the island's economy.
But that's all in the past.
The sardine industry on Dayan Island suffered a severe blow because people suddenly discovered that sardines were so unpalatable.
To be honest, Ximen Yan felt that this reason was quite absurd.
If food can become a disaster, then it's not surprising that things can get any more outrageous!
"Today is a significant moment in the birth of the sardine-producing region of Dayan Island."
"The people in town should all be gathered in the square in the center of town."
"Next, we're going to watch the opening ceremony."
"Mr. Simon Yan, would you like to come along?" the captain asked Simon Yan warmly.
Because sardines are no longer popular, the economy of Dayan Island is not as good as it used to be.
However, according to the mayor of Dayan Island, if the plan to develop Dayan Island into a sardine-producing region succeeds, Dayan Island may be able to regain its former prosperity.
This made the captain somewhat hopeful.
"Of course, how could I miss such an important moment!"
Ximen Yan responded with a smile.
After all, this is a crucial opening scene, and Flint will definitely be there, saving him the trouble of searching for someone.
In fact, Ximen Yan initially thought of taking the machine with him.
However, to operate that machine, a control terminal in Flint's research lab is still needed.
And it's also quite troublesome to operate.
So it would be better to let Flint build a more convenient machine.
Of course, if Flint can't build a second one before he leaves, he wouldn't mind taking the one in front of him with him.
At worst, we can hand it over to the Food Research Institute for research.
With the somewhat outrageous technology of the Food Research Institute, replicating it shouldn't be a problem.
It is even possible to create more advanced ones.
Following the captain of the fishing boat, Ximen Yan arrived at the town's central square.
At this moment, a large number of citizens gathered together, looking at the center of the square.
The fishing boat captain also squeezed in with great interest.
Ximen Yan didn't care about this; his purpose in coming here wasn't to see some kind of sardine-filled land.
With his Observation Haki expanding, Ximen Yan immediately spotted his target.
At that moment, Flint was crouching behind a corner, furtively watching the crowd.
Next to him was a machine that looked like a rice cooker, which was naturally the super food replicator.
After discovering that the crowd had gathered in the center.
Flint quickly went to a power line and prepared to connect it to the superfood replicator.
At this moment, Simon walked up to Flint.
