A Team is Formed!

Host: Oboro.

Age: 23.

Major: Classical Chinese Literature Hunter x Hunter.

Combat Rank: Martial Arts Master, National-Level Hunter x Hunter (Upgradeable to: Sub-World-Level Hunter x Hunter) Overall Attribute Evaluation: First-Tier Superhuman.

After Biscuit left, Oboro brought up his system panel and took a look.

His data has changed again over the past year.

The martial arts master in the combat power class became a grandmaster, the level of Nen rose to the level of a national-level Hunter x Hunter, and the overall attribute evaluation evolved from the previous Human Evolver to the current first-order superhuman.

His injuries had fully healed long ago... He had mastered several new martial arts techniques, making his flesh and blood more solid and his body stronger, which is why his attributes improved.

Right now, my skin and blood are flowing smoothly, and without using my mind, I'm starting to feel like I have 'steel and iron bones'...

He has refined his appearance to the highest level he can achieve.

Next is the internal organs, which require slow progress through breathing exercises.

The speed is rather slow...

His stronger physique also significantly increased his charisma, along with his current three Nen...

He knows as many as fifteen martial arts techniques, covering various body parts and a relatively comprehensive range of attack methods. As a practical martial artist, his foundation is naturally more outstanding. The system even suggested that there is no need for him to learn any other ordinary techniques in the future.

What he needs to practice is something like Acupoint and Meridian Manipulation techniques, Breathing Technique, which can be used to inflict damage and threat on Nen user or higher life forms.

As for his current three Nen, they can be seen as three hero skills he obtained through his own efforts, using the original 'Endless Fantasist's Treasury': one passive and two active.

There are also two Summoner Spell: Flash and Teleport.

This is his current total combat strength.

It's worth mentioning that even after practicing Acupoint and Meridian Manipulation for so long, I've only achieved a minor level of proficiency and can now perform it skillfully... This kind of special or advanced combat technique is far more difficult than ordinary Chinese Martial Arts.

Breathing Technique can be used 24 hours a day, but they are limited to two types: static breathing and abdominal breathing.

Since East Gorteau's resurrection, he has undergone an unimaginable transformation in the past two years.

He no longer needed to concern himself with the matters concerning Hero Island and the game. Just as Biscuit had said, he could leave it to the NPCs. As long as they didn't leave the human world, he could teleport back at any time should Hero Island encounter an invasion that it couldn't handle. After that, he could let the players enjoy the game on their own.

For him, the goal of bringing the Game World to life has been achieved.

A week later, Oboro returned to the city where the Association's headquarters were located.

He's getting ready to take on some missions; he's aiming to reach higher ranks.

The status and influence of a star Hunter x Hunter in the Association are unmatched by ordinary Hunter x Hunter... He has been conserving his energy for so long, it's time for him to get moving and test his new abilities.

His return was perfectly timed; the Hunter Exam had just ended this year.

He wanted to meet his brand-new team first.

The Fills Family employs and hires highly skilled individuals.

There are five people in total, and if you include Oboro, it's a six-person group.

Without exception, they were all Nen user, and all of them were Hunter x Hunter... Two of them had just obtained their Hunter License and joined the Association, which was also a requirement of the Fills Family.

Everything is done in service of Oboro.

In a hotel suite belonging to the gang's supply chain, Long looked at the group of five in front of him, introduced himself, and then began to learn about the other people's abilities and areas of expertise.

"Fante, 37 years old, Enhancement ... His ability is 'Emotional Aura.' The attack and effects of his Nen will vary depending on his emotional state..." The first man to speak had a cigarette dangling from his lips, puffing out smoke. He had a very rugged appearance and wore a vest. His exposed arms and chest were covered in thick body hair.

Long nodded.

"Anthony ... Specialization, 25 years old, his ability is called 'Devil's Scrutiny'. Simply put, it means that under certain circumstances, he can invade the target's brain, create illusions, and interfere with thinking... I'm quite good at gathering intelligence or stealing secrets. At the same time, I'm also very good at socializing... I'm a negotiation Hunter x Hunter."

Another man with a pompadour hairstyle, who seemed outgoing and had a rock-and-roll vibe, followed closely behind.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this ability, Oboro's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Anthony. "This ability... really doesn't suit your image..."

"Don't be so superficial in your judgment of people. As you get to know me better, you'll feel my personal charm more and more," Anthony said smugly, tugging at his pompadour with both hands.

"I'm really looking forward to it..."

He smiled faintly.

"I... I... my name is... Geb... Vicky..." The third person was also a man, a young man with a youthful appearance, but he was a bit shy and nervous, I don't know if it was social anxiety or what... most importantly, he seemed to stutter.

"I understand your situation..."

Seeing that he was having so much trouble speaking, Long smiled warmly and raised his hand to interrupt him.

When Gabe Vich saw this, she seemed to be hurt, thinking that Oboro didn't like her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she squatted in the corner like a wronged little girl.

He just got his Hunter License... but he's been Nen user for a few years now.

Gabe Vich, 19 years old, Specialization, his ability is 'Mind Chat Group'... He can establish telepathic communication with multiple targets within a certain range, which is equivalent to giving everyone a walkie-talkie... It doesn't seem like much at first glance.

However, it's important to know that traditional technological equipment can fail in many situations in the wild... With his abilities, at least the team can be ensured not to get separated and can communicate at any time to avoid some unexpected situations.

"Hello, Captain!"

Next up is the one next.

Guan Long glanced over and saw a woman who looked like she'd been injected with chicken blood, with a bowl cut hairstyle, thick glasses, and a style and demeanor that resembled a country girl. Suddenly, she shouted excitedly.

His voice was full of energy.

Hmm... very exciting.

Long tapped his ear and nodded in acknowledgment, "Hello."

"Captain, my name is Rita! I'm Manipulation- type esper, 23 years old, unmarried, from the Sanders Region ... My father is..."

"..."

Hazy.

"Just tell me about your abilities."

"Yes!"

Rita shouted in a strong and clear voice, her eyes shining brightly, "My ability is 'Rural Botanical Garden,' which allows me to control and sense the state of plants, analyze the quality of the environment in a region through the plants, and detect potential dangers."

Long smiled.

That's another great skill.

It seems David and Lily really put their hearts into it...

"Hahahaha! You're Manipulation... I thought you were Enhancement, you country bumpkin." Anthony couldn't help but burst into laughter, pointing at Rita and laughing heartily.

However, he did not look down on Rita; he just felt that Rita's appearance and temperament were somewhat indescribable.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a man.

Rita showed no sign of anger. Instead, she looked at her teammate and said in a loud voice, "That's right, it's the Manipulation."

"Hahaha...you're so interesting, so fascinating...to be honest, this is the first time I've ever met a woman like you..." Anthony exclaimed, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

"You two can talk later..."

Long stopped the two from talking and looked at the last person in the group.

The appearance of this person was a complete surprise to Oboro.

He knew her.

A woman wearing a black fishnet top, denim shorts, a yellow headband, and her pink hair tied up in several buns.

He was the youngest player on the team.

Menchi!

Gourmet Hunter, three years later, the examiner of the 287th Hunter Exam.

They almost eliminated all the candidates.

A picky, meticulous, and demanding One-Star Hunter.

Of course, Menchi is not One-Star Hunter yet, but she has been a member of the Association for quite some time, and her accumulated achievements and qualifications are probably enough to qualify.

Despite Menchi youth, judging from Long's perception, Menqi's strength is about the same as that of the five people... as that of Anthony the Pocket Head.

"Menchi, Conjuration, 18 years old, her ability is 'Exquisite Kitchenware,' used for dissecting, preparing, and cooking all kinds of ingredients." Menchi crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Oboro.

Conjuration, huh...

In terms of personality, Menchi doesn't seem like Enhancement; Oboro always thought she was Emission.

The Conjuration a bit neurotic...

That makes sense.

Long smiled as she looked at the woman who was five years younger than her. "You didn't get here through the Fills Family's channels... Can I assume you're here for me?"

"That's right... I've heard some things about you within the Association ... so I'm very interested in the team you've formed," Menchi replied calmly.

"They're interested in the task I'm going to complete... not me as a person." Oboro chuckled.

"You could say that."

Menchi nodded.

"You've been a member of the Association for quite some time now, and there's Buhara's always with you. Aren't you two in the same group? You should have your own team, right?"

In response to Long's question, Menchi raised an eyebrow in annoyance. "What? If you don't accept it, just say so, and I can leave."

"It's alright, you're welcome."

He smiled.

A middle-aged man with a story, a narcissistic and flamboyant playboy, a shy and stuttering young man, a passionate and honest country girl... and finally, a picky and demanding young woman with a fiery temper.

Sigh... these five people really have very distinct personalities.

Indeed... anyone who becomes a powerful Nen user must have an outstanding character. Going with the flow... will never get you ahead. Everyone has their own way of doing things... and firmly believes in themselves.

Long glanced at the five people present, thinking to himself.

"Undeniably, some of us are here for the money, while others simply want to join a promising team to collaborate with and grow together. Regarding you, I'm new to the Association and don't know much..."

After they got to know each other, Anthony with the pompadour suddenly looked at Oboro and said, "Considering various factors, the number one player in the team must be the most outstanding person..."

"Are you trying to say, why should I be the captain?"

Long slowly stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his pockets, and expressed his understanding of Anthony's doubts.

"That's right."

Anthony spoke frankly without any reservations.

"There's no other reason... it's just because I'm strong enough."

As soon as Long finished speaking, terrifying Nen energy, accompanied by his personal will, instantly created a surging pressure.

Like a roaring giant wave, it washed over the entire room.

The five people in front of him sensed the threat and instinctively adopted a defensive stance.

The same burst of Nen power...

However, under Long's imposing aura, the mental fortitude of the group was strained, and signs of collapse appeared.

The fact that they can still maintain a defensive posture already shows that their strength is not low...

In Menchi's eyes, the moment Oboro unleashed his Nen, the entire room went dark... The terrifying Nen permeated and echoed, emanating from the man, making him look like the Bleach had descended.

His Nen aura was imbued with malice and killing intent...

The sensation of this energy passing over the body varies from person to person.

For example, Anthony... In a daze, he seemed to have hallucinations of himself lying dead on the spot, dying again and again, his blood staining the ground red.

The next second, Oboro withdrew his Nen, and the room was instantly brightened again.

He glanced at Anthony, who was covered in sweat and pale, and smiled, "So, are you satisfied with this reason?"

"..."

Anthony took a deep breath, glanced at the other person with a pounding heart, and helplessly raised his hand, "I admit it."

"Admit."

Fante also raised his hand.

"Admit!"

Rita shouted.

"Admit..."

Gabe Vich.

"Admit."

Menchi's heart was churning; she had made the right decision to join Long's team.

This man... is just like what Biscuit said.

She closed her eyes and also shared her opinion.
