It's no wonder they say Transmuters are the best at deceiving people.
Morin endured the discomfort on her skin and made a "please" gesture.
"You can deposit them yourselves."
"Hooray!"
Upon hearing this, Biscuit cheered, immediately dropped Morin, and ran out.
"I'm going to the bank to withdraw my cash!!"
With that parting remark, she vanished.
"Can you deposit this for me too?"
Pakunoda also smiled and extended her hand towards Morin.
In her soft hand, she held a ten-Jewel Ken coin.
"I picked it up on the road a couple of days ago while playing with a cat."
She chuckled.
Despite her cold and alluring appearance, Pakunoda, who harbored a gentle side, was unexpectedly very kind to cats.
"You're not going to refuse it because the amount is small, are you?"
"How could I?"
Morin smiled as she took it and deposited it into the bank. "I'm also a ten-Jewel holder, aren't I?"
"Since you also have a +Jewel coin, I thought you had prepared the exact same amount as me."
"Is that so?"
Pakunoda ran a hand through her yet-to-be-shortened blonde hair, concealing some of her emotions.
"Keep the passbook safe. It won't be replaced if lost. This is a passbook worth ninety million Jewels in a week."
After Morin handed the passbook to Pakunoda, the latter asked Morin some questions about Specialist Nen.
After this period of training, Pakunoda had a clearer idea of the ability she wanted to develop and wanted to have a brief chat with Morin.
They hadn't talked for long before Biscuit returned in a flurry with a black leather bag, leaving Pakunoda feeling slightly "unfulfilled."
"This is a full one million Jewels!!"
Biscuit's eyes sparkled as she placed the money on the windowsill.
"If I save enough for a week like this, then it will be... ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... how much was it again?"
She looked at her disciple for help.
Morin replied helplessly, "Ten Jewels a week is ninety million Jewels, so one million Jewels is nine trillion Jewels."
Uh, is asking for data still useful now?
I've been incredibly busy these past few days, only sorting things out this morning.
I haven't had a chance to thank everyone for their tips, monthly passes, flowers, and so on.
I was so focused on writing that I forgot about the bonus chapter rules.
It's probably not too late to state the rules now...
I originally intended to write the bonus chapter rules, but I'll check the data now.
Hmm, the collection count is quite low, which is within my expectations. After all, Hunter x Hunter is a niche fanfiction here. I had this in mind from writing two previous ones.
But the flowers, review tickets, monthly passes, reminder tickets, comment section... Oh my goodness!!
You guys are absolutely amazing!!
It's a good thing I didn't write down the bonus chapter rules. If I had followed the plan I initially thought of, I would have worked myself to death.
I truly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate.
Since everyone is so supportive, I won't even mention the bonus chapter rules.
I'll make this promise here: once we reach the paid chapters, I'll release whatever I can write each day!!
Thank you so much for the support from so many fellow readers who love Hunter x Hunter, thank you!!
PS: Lastly, the comment section gave me a scare. Why were so many comments deleted?

063 This Year
Nine trillion!!!
Hearing that number, Biscuit felt like her chest was about to explode. Overwhelmed with happiness, she was almost overcome.
"Taking you as my disciple is absolutely the most correct decision I've ever made in my life! Absolutely!"
Biscuit patted Morin's shoulder, saying excitedly.
She even overexerted herself in her excitement, hitting Morin so hard it hurt, causing his mouth to twitch.
"Hmm, nine trillion Jewel for just one week? That's quite a sum. Have you considered fixed deposits?" Biscuit asked, dodging Morin's small hands with a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Fixed deposit? Right, right, bank deposits! Besides current accounts, there are fixed deposits too!!"
Biscuit's eyes widened in realization, and she stared intently at Morin.
"It can do fixed deposits? Do fixed deposits usually have higher interest than current accounts? How much would it be?"
"Of course, it can do fixed deposits!"
Morin said with mock seriousness, "The fixed deposit at the Compound Interest Bank is two-tenths interest per hour for a one-month deposit, and five-tenths interest per hour for a one-year deposit."
"I won't calculate that for you.
Just imagine it yourself.
You'll know what a colossal amount that is.
Uh."
Seeing the money-lust in Biscuit's eyes, Morin wisely shut his mouth.
But after a moment's thought, he added a reminder:
"With regular banks, you can withdraw money from a fixed deposit if something comes up, and it automatically converts to a current account. However, once this bank's fixed deposit is made, it cannot be withdrawn."
"It's fine, I still have money in my other bank accounts, enough to last me a year!"
Biscuit decisively took out stacks of one million Jewel cash, exuding an air of "I'm a rich lady, I don't lack money."
As she took out all the money, ready to deposit it, she still asked with some apprehension:
"Is this bank really okay?"
"Yes, the bank is fine."
Morin glanced at the bank, then pointed to himself: "But I have a problem."
"You have a problem?" Biscuit blinked in surprise.
"What problem?"
"Did you forget that I need to consume Nen and Aura every time I use a Gadget?"
Morin shrugged. "While depositing money doesn't consume anything, withdrawing it consumes a tremendous amount."
"One million Jewel deposited for a week at current interest rate can reach nine trillion Jewel.
If it were for a year, wouldn't that reach an amount unimaginable to anyone in the world, an amount so huge it could cause global upheaval, even destruction?" Morin twitched his eye. "Do you think your disciple here has the Nen and Aura to consume for destroying the world?"
Biscuit: "oooooo No."
She deflated. "So I can't make a fixed deposit?"
"You can, but you'll probably only be able to do current deposits, depositing and withdrawing anytime."
"That's fine too. From now on, if I'm short on money, I'll just take it from you. That way, I'll finally achieve financial freedom!!"
With a positive attitude and not caring much about gains or losses, Biscuit remained cheerful.
"From now on, if I see any pretty jewels, I can just buy them. And those magazine publishers, I'll buy them too, and have them draw manga just for me."
"Now I'm not short on money, yo yo yo!!"
Her peculiar tone made Morin silently distance himself from her again.
However, on one point, Biscuit was not wrong.
From then on, Morin basically wouldn't lack money either, and would no longer have to worry about it.
In the original version, the member with the highest savings in the Troupe was Machi, followed by Kurapika, and the poorest was Uvogin.
This was because Uvogin never carried money with him, believing he could just take whatever he wanted. Shalnark called him a model student among Thieves.
In the not-too-distant future, Morin and Pakunoda would likely become the wealthiest individuals in the entire Troupe, and perhaps the entire world!!
With the money issue settled, Morin and his group wasted no more time. None of them were people who loved money or were particularly interested in it.
Especially when too much money just becomes a string of numbers.
As the commotion caused by the Compound Interest Bank gradually subsided, and after an hour when Biscuit personally saw the money in her passbook change from one million to one million one hundred thousand, she finally felt at ease and, with Morin and the others, continued towards their next training location.
And while Morin and Pakunoda were training under Biscuit, the outside world was also becoming quite lively with the addition of the Phantom Troupe.
This year, the NGL Autonomous Region was established on the Balsha Islands, under the Mito Federation.
This year, Canary, the future apprentice butler of the Zoldyck Family, was born.
This year, Greed Island entered its final preparatory stages, with its official release expected next year.
This year, the Phantom Troupe was also stirring up trouble in various corners of the world.
Morin learned about the movements of some of the other members through mobile notifications, news on large public television screens, conversations among people in restaurants, and information gathered online.
Among these, the most attention-grabbing was the disturbance caused at Heavens Arena.
As the world's highest-level combat competition, Heavens Arena had live broadcast platforms almost everywhere in the world, wherever there was television and internet access.
064 Encounters at Heavens Arena
Countless martial artists came here, some to test their skills against stronger opponents, others to chase fame and fortune, becoming famous overnight with a single victory. But no matter their reasons, they all presented the audience with spectacular battles.
Almost every day, someone became famous here, and almost every day, someone was defeated here.
Currently, the most talked-about group at Heavens Arena was a rising trio.
With an unstoppable momentum, the three displayed their overwhelming strength from the very first day they arrived at Heavens Arena.
That's right, it was Uvogin, Nobunaga, and Machi.
Having learned Nen, they wreaked havoc in the first two hundred floors of Heavens Arena.
Subsequently, with some manipulation by the referees and organizers, the trio was quickly sent straight to floors above two hundred.
The prize money for each floor naturally went into the hands of the three.
When Machi learned there was no prize money above the two hundredth floor, she lost interest and stopped registering for further fights.
Instead, during their time at Heavens Arena, she discovered a new business opportunity.
That was treating injured contestants and stitching up their wounds – she was truly making a fortune!
Especially if someone lost a limb, the subsequent treatment and nutritional costs would be incredibly high.
If recuperation after losing a limb cost so much, wouldn't she earn even more if she could stitch their severed arms and legs back on?
With this idea in mind, Machi began to walk a completely different path at Heavens Arena.
She herself wanted to try combining Nen with her most commonly used weapon: fine threads.
Now, it could serve as both a weapon for fighting and a means of earning money.
This line of thought truly opened up a new world for Machi.
"He told me before about the most suitable Nen ability development direction for me. As expected, everything he said was right... " Inside a private room at Heavens Arena, Machi stood on a high-rise balcony, gazing into the distance.
