Biscuit's eyes flickered slightly at Morin's sudden production of an item, without the slightest fluctuation of Nen power.
She then curiously looked at the dark green, scroll-like object in Morin's hand.
"This is called Treasure Map Paper. It's a secret item used to search for extremely valuable things. As long as you roast it with fire or high heat, it will reveal riddle-like clues for the treasure hunt."
Morin explained that it was one of the three items he had drawn on his way here.
Item: Treasure Map Paper.
Effect: When searching for something extremely valuable, tear off a page and roast it over high heat or flames. A riddle concerning the item's location will appear. Solve it, and you can find the item.
This item's effect was quite impressive. It worked whether the thing being sought belonged to him or not; even if he was looking for someone else's possessions, it would still function.
And it was not limited to finding objects. It could even be used to find people through the Treasure Map Paper. It was an exceptionally useful and practical item.
"Treasure Map Paper..."
After hearing Morin's explanation, Biscuit first gave it a skeptical look. Then her eyes flickered slightly as she seemed to ponder something.
"If I used this to search for all those famous gems around the world, then I should be able to..."
Swish!
Before Morin could finish speaking, the dark green scroll in his hand was snatched away.
"You tear it from this notch, right?"
Biscuit forcefully tore along the lines and ripped off a sufficiently large square sheet.
Crack?
She poured some liquor onto the bar counter, then released Nen to ignite it.
A flame quickly sprang up.
The whole sequence was as smooth as flowing water, practiced beyond belief.
"What next?"
She looked at Pakunoda, who was slightly dazed, and at Morin, who was staring at her.
"Just roast it while asking yourself where the thing you want to find is."
"Is that so~"
Biscuit nodded in understanding, then placed the Treasure Map Paper over the flame and muttered:
"Where is the crown gemstone passed down through generations of King Cadra?"
That was why she had come to this town.
As a Gem Hunter, she had an extraordinary fondness for gemstones.
"There are words on it!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, lines of text emerged on the Treasure Map Paper, filling Biscuit's eyes with delight.
"A simple riddle?"
Biscuit rapidly read the contents, then fell into thought.
"Wait for me!!"
Less than three seconds later, Biscuit suddenly spoke.
She casually tossed the Treasure Map Paper back to Morin.
Her entire body turned into a whirlwind as she shot out of the tavern like a bolt of lightning.
The speed she displayed was utterly at odds with her petite appearance and cumbersome, elaborate clothing.
In just three seconds, she had already solved the riddle provided by the Treasure Map Paper.
Even that had been a little too long.
Even Doraemon and useless Nobita, with their elementary school-level intelligence, could easily solve the riddle on it.
Not to mention Biscuit, a veteran Hunter.
This level of difficulty was nothing at all???
Pakunoda looked at the tavern's creaking door, then at the Treasure Map Paper in Morin's hand.
"So she's the person we're looking for?"
After a brief silence, Pakunoda still asked what seemed like a pointless question.
"Mm. Her name is Biscuit, Biscuit Krueger, a very experienced Hunter."
Morin nodded lightly. "And she's a very orthodox Nen user, a pure Hunter who steadily improved step by step."
"She also travels and explores the world frequently, coming into contact and battling with many Nen users. As a result, she possesses an extraordinary understanding and awareness of Nen abilities, along with experience beyond the reach of ordinary people."
As Morin spoke, the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Learning Nen from someone like her is far better than fumbling around and growing wildly on my own!"
Morin had only entered the world of Nen less than half a year ago. His use and training of Nen had not yet taken shape.
If Biscuit could help him correct some of his shortcomings and bad habits early on, then his understanding and mastery of Nen would definitely improve by a huge margin!!
"Learning..."
Pakunoda fell silent.
I Am a Gadget Master Who Excels at Using Items
Pakunoda sensed from Morin the same fighting spirit and emotions she had once felt from Chrollo in Meteor City.
The two of them might have had different goals, but in the process of pursuing and striving toward those goals—
Every step forward was made with complete focus and dedication.
And men were often at their most charming when they were serious about something.
Pakunoda had originally been drawn to Chrollo's charisma. That was why she had joined Chrollo's small group with Feitan.
And now...
She looked at Morin, who seemed to be radiating brilliance, with light shining in his eyes as well~
There was one more person who captivated her.
A few minutes later~
Swish!
Another gust of wind came with the creaking of the door.
When Pakunoda and Morin looked over, they saw Biscuit strolling back inside.
But the smile she could not hide at the corners of her eyes made it obvious that she had gained something.
"I never expected that gemstone to have accidentally fallen out of the ruins, only for someone in town to take it home as an ordinary stone and use it to prop up a bench. What a waste of a treasure!"
"Hahaha, but it ended up benefiting me in the end! Luckily, the gemstone wasn't damaged!!"
As Biscuit thought this, her burning gaze landed on Morin.
More precisely, on the Treasure Map Paper in his hand.
"With this thing, maybe I can find all the gemstones in the world, and even restricted magazines full of handsome men... Hohoho!!"
Well, even though Morin could not read Biscuit's mind, judging by the expression on her face, he could more or less tell that she was thinking about something very improper.
"Ahem."
As if realizing that the atmosphere was too quiet and that she might have been somewhat impolite, Biscuit immediately coughed twice and composed herself again.
"Your item is really quite good!"
Biscuit gave her approval. "Is this your Nen ability? A Conjuration type?"
"More or less. I display characteristics of both the Conjuration and Specialist types."
Morin explained the results of his Water Divination test.
"I see."
Biscuit suddenly understood. "Then you still belong to the Specialist type. It's just that your Conjuration-type traits account for a rather large proportion."
She explained based on her own experience:
"Some people's Specialist-type Nen abilities involve multiple aspects, which causes traits from other Nen categories to appear during Water Divination as well."
"In other words, your ability's inherent category is Specialist, but its development and application are primarily based on Conjuration."
"The abilities you develop can differ from your innate category, but the power they produce will be quite poor, and it's also a waste."
"The most classic example is Hishito Douro. He was clearly an Enhancement type, yet he developed the Conjuration- and Manipulation-type Nen ability Double Doppelganger."
Hisoka called it "a waste of capacity."
That assessment was indeed fair. If Hishito Douro had combined his Enhancement abilities with his finishing move, Tiger Bite True Fist, the resulting Nen ability would certainly have been formidable.
What a pity.
Pakunoda suddenly asked, "Now that someone has already awakened their Nen ability, is it really that important to know their Nen category?"
"It's very important!"
Biscuit replied with rare seriousness.
"Even after you have cultivated a Nen ability, your category must never be ignored."
"Putting aside everything else, if a Nen user created rules for their Nen ability that were specifically lethal against Specialist-type users, that alone shows how important it is to clearly understand your own category."
At this point, she also looked at Morin.
"I've seen quite a few Specialist-type Nen users, but abilities combining Specialist and Conjuration are relatively rare."
"An exploratory Nen ability like yours, which conjures Treasure Map Paper, is even rarer."
"Although it's very useful to me, it probably has little use in ordinary combat."
"If you were an adventurer who enjoyed exploring and searching for things, this ability would be excellent. But unfortunately, from what I've observed, adventure isn't your top priority." Biscuit sounded somewhat regretful as she said this.
"That's true. In my heart, becoming stronger and surviving combat come first. Adventure barely ranks second."
Morin did not refute her. "But I think my abilities are actually quite useful in battle as well."
"Really?"
Biscuit glanced at the Treasure Map Paper in Morin's hand.
"Can you use it to find your enemy's weakness? During battle, you won't have the time or leisure to start a fire and solve riddles."
"..."
Morin smiled and shook his head. "It seems you've misunderstood something. My ability is not limited to this little Treasure Map Paper."
"Oh?"
Biscuit became interested. "Then what is it?"
Swish!
The Gourmet Tablecloth, Door of Nothingness, Cuckoo Bird Egg, Power Iron Pickaxe, and various other items appeared one after another before Biscuit.
"As you can see, I'm a Gadget Master who excels at using items."
Morin wore a wise smile.
"It is therefore perfectly reasonable for me to carry so many items with me."
