"Since this enhancement has nothing to do with Gourmet Cells, it means that this enhancement is useful to everyone."
"After all, Dimension City is different from our world. There are no Gourmet Cells there. This kind of thing that can make people stronger must be of general use." Setsuno thought for a moment and understood the difference.
"I see." Jiro nodded, understanding the reason, and then said with a serious face: "About this kind of ingredient, please don't spread the word, otherwise it will definitely cause a disaster."
If the news about strengthening ingredients spreads, people outside will definitely go crazy about it. Although people in this world can become stronger just by eating, this kind of thing is usually only a benefit for the few who have awakened their Gourmet Cells. The number of people who want to become stronger but haven't been able to awaken their Gourmet Cells, and can't even afford the money to transplant Gourmet Cells, is much higher than those who have.
Among these people, there are some extremely dangerous elements, such as ambitious individuals or war maniacs. If these people know about the existence of fortified ingredients, they will definitely start snatching them crazily, and then one war after another will start.
Moreover, in addition to these dangerous elements, ordinary people will definitely want them. After all, there was no way before. The awakening of Gourmet Cells often relied on luck, or transplant surgeries with extremely high mortality rates. It is simply enviable. But enhanced ingredients are different. This is an opportunity for ordinary people to gain power equally.
If ordinary people also know about the existence of enhanced ingredients, they are likely to take some drastic actions. By then, the IGO may not be able to suppress it, and the world order may be thrown into chaos! Although the solution to this matter seems simple—just popularize the enhanced ingredients—the problem is that the enhanced ingredients are resources of Dimension City. It is not something this world produces naturally; you can only buy them from Dimension City.
Let's not talk about whether Dimension City has enough enhanced ingredients to sell to them, or whether they are willing to sell them. Just the price to pay for buying so many enhanced ingredients—they may not be able to afford it.
If they can't afford it, they will go another way under the pressure of public opinion. Rob! This will cycle back again. In the end, a war will start, and it will even intensify into a conflict involving the whole world. Therefore, it is better to do less than to do more. Concealing the strengthening ingredients and letting only a few people know about it is the best choice for everyone.
Setsuno nodded: "I know the propriety, and I will definitely not speak of it. The same goes for Komatsu."
"Uh-huh." Komatsu also nodded in agreement.
After all, it would not do him any good if these things came out. Instead, he would be targeted by people from all walks of life, and he would be in constant trouble. He also wished that fewer people knew about it.
"Okay, let's end this discussion here."
Jiro waved his hand, swirled the wine in front of him a few times, then picked up the lunch box on the side and stood up.
"The situation is urgent, I have to go to Ichiryu quickly and let him come up with an idea."
Seeing this, Setsuno didn't hold him back: "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
"Um."
After Jiro left Setsuno's Canteen, he quickly rushed to the IGO Headquarters, found the President, Ichiryu, and had a private conversation with him, telling him about Dimension City and the enhanced ingredients.
Ichiryu's face became serious after tasting a few side dishes made with fortified ingredients.
"Your judgment is correct. This matter really cannot be spread outside."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this, not even the IGO officials."
The matter was so important that Ichiryu didn't dare to tell his subordinates about it. Only those who had completely gained his trust could be told with confidence. After all, just the news of strengthening ingredients was like a nuclear bomb to this world. Once the news was exposed, it would cause an unparalleled blow to the current order.
"Well, I can rest assured if you handle it." Jiro nodded, and then asked: "So, how do you think we should deal with Dimension City?"
This was the main purpose of his coming here. Dimension City exists in a different world. How to deal with it required someone who could represent this world to make decisions, and this person was Ichiryu. Firstly, Ichiryu is strong enough. Secondly, the IGO is a large organization, the largest in the world, and so powerful that it can be said to control the entire world. So Ichiryu, as the President of the IGO, can naturally be said to be the controller of the world.
"It's natural to be friends with him," Ichiryu replied almost instantly. "This is another world, and it's even connected to other worlds. Not to mention how strong the other party is, just being able to connect many worlds can bring us many benefits and conveniences, and even play a vital role at critical moments."
Hearing this, Jiro glanced at Ichiryu in surprise: "Don't you want to put those inheritances in Dimension City?"
As a person who knew the crisis that he would face in the future, and what legacy Ichiryu has prepared in response to the crisis, Jiro heard some key information from Ichiryu's words. This legacy is actually the Full Course Menu of Ichiryu's life, and it is also the key to the future—a Full Course Menu prepared for all mankind.
A total of eight items are placed in eight natural ecological reserves of the IGO. Once the ecological environment of the future world suffers a devastating blow, as long as these eight ingredients are collected, cooking them can produce enough food for all mankind to eat for a long time, and it can also restore the ecological environment. It can be said that this is the final survival guarantee prepared by Ichiryu for all mankind.
And Jiro listened to the meaning of Ichiryu's words; he seemed to want to move these eight items to Dimension City. This was what surprised Jiro: could Ichiryu trust Dimension City so much, even though he had never seen it with his own eyes?
Ichiryu nodded seriously: "I do have this plan. After all, it is safer to put it in another world, isn't it? Of course, this is after establishing friendly relations with Dimension City. Moreover, it is not certain whether it will be necessary to do so at that time. Who knows, by then our relationship with Dimension City might be so good that we can persuade the other party to help evacuate the people?"
"Do you really trust the other person?" Jiro couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, of course." Ichiryu heard the words and said with a smile: "Anyone who is willing to share food is not a bad person in my opinion. Since he's not a bad person, why can't we be friends with him?"
They won't be bad people. This is Ichiryu's view of Dimension City.
