Return X Qiduo
In a luxurious office.
A large desk made of expensive wood is set up, and a woman with canine features is engrossed in her work.
Her features are so natural that it's impossible to tell whether she truly looks like that or if she's disguised in some way.
Strange noises could be heard coming from the office from time to time.
"Hey-hey!"
Slurp!
The noise continued intermittently until finally, the woman working there couldn't take it anymore.
"Biscuit! If you want to see, go outside and stop making these strange noises!"
The strange noise came from Biscuit, who was leaning against the chair next to me, engrossed in reading a magazine about handsome men.
Upon hearing this, Biscuit put away the magazine and looked at the woman in front of the desk.
"Qiduo, when are you going to finish working? Didn't we agree to go shopping together later?"
Qiduo's forehead veins throbbed slightly as she said, "We agreed to meet in the afternoon, but it's only noon now!"
"That's perfect, we can have lunch together! Do you know any good restaurants around here?"
Upon hearing Biscuit's words, Qiduo couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Just then, Biscuit's cell phone vibrated.
She took out her phone, looked at the unfamiliar number, and answered the call.
Kevin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Haha, Master, it's been a long time! How have you been lately?"
"Not bad."
"I have great news to share. I got my Hunter License."
"It would be strange if you couldn't get it."
"Don't say that, getting Hunter License isn't easy."
"Hehe, just say what you want to say. You certainly wouldn't call me for no reason."
"Master is wise; I do indeed have something I'd like to trouble you with."
"Um."
"Here's the thing, I urgently need a doctor with excellent medical skills, and it would be even better if they were Nen user."
You mentioned before that you and Qiduo are friends, so I wanted to ask if you have her contact information?
What a coincidence!
Biscuit turned her head and looked at Qiduo, who was waiting beside her.
Qiduo was somewhat puzzled; it seemed they were talking about something related to her?
"Your call came at just the right time; she's right next to me."
"Is that so?"
"That's right, I was thinking of introducing you two. In that case, I'll send you her contact information in a bit."
"Thank you, Master! I will never forget your great kindness!"
After hanging up the phone, Biscuit looked at Qiduo.
"Is there something that concerns me? From what you just said, it sounds like someone needs my help?" Qiduo asked.
Biscuit nodded. "One of my apprentices."
"I understand, a rough stone waiting to be carved, right?" As Biscuit's good friend, Qiduo was all too familiar with her rhetoric.
"He needs a doctor's help, and I guess he found your information, since you're quite famous."
He must have heard of you from me before, which is why he thought of contacting me.
Obtaining Qiduo's contact information is not difficult; you can find it by spending some money to search for information.
But this was clearly impolite, especially since Kevin knew the other person was a friend of his mentor.
This is Bisky's speculation about Kevin's actions.
After listening to Biscuit's explanation, Qiduo nodded, but still said, "If I'm not interested in what he's talking about, even if he's your apprentice, I won't agree to help."
Although her time wasn't tight, it wasn't something she could waste.
Biscuit smiled at this, and looking at Qiduo, she said, "Don't underestimate him; you'll definitely be interested in him."
"Oh? Then I'll look forward to it."
Just then, Biscuit was about to send Qiduo's contact information to Kevin when Kevin's message arrived first.
The information concerns some medicines that are available for sale.
Since Biscuit and Qiduo were together, Kevin directly asked Qiduo if she would accept payment in exchange for these potions.
These medications can also be shown to Biscuit.
If it's possible, then we can discuss cooperation; if not, there's no need to go through all that trouble.
"So many kinds?" Although Biscuit knew that Kevin had Nen ability, she didn't know much about the specific potions he could make.
Seeing this list of medications now, I'm somewhat surprised.
She immediately forwarded the message to Qiduo.
Qiduo looked at the messages on her phone, carefully scrolling through them. "This is the product of your apprentice's Nen ability? It's actually for making special potions."
As a Professional Hunter with the background of a doctor, she had to admit that she was indeed very interested in these special potions.
Especially noticeable is the customization option at the top.
These medicines cover a wide range of aspects, which indicates that the other party's Nen ability is very comprehensive. She guessed that she might need to prepare the materials herself.
It also requires relevant knowledge for coordination and other limitations, which makes this ability quite interesting, and its effects are very practical.
"Okay, if I'm paid with medicine, I agree to go, but he has to send me the patient's information."
Finding someone to see a doctor is basically just these procedures.
What else could one possibly need besides medical treatment from this doctor? At most, it's just a matter of how urgent it is.
Soon, with Biscuit acting as a go-between, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
At this moment, Kevin and Men Qi boarded the Airship for the return journey.
A few days later.
The Airship landed at Vasa City Airport.
This is the city where the Nosra Family resides.
At that moment, sitting in the gangster's limousine, Men Qi looked at Kevin and said, "I didn't expect you to be a gangster boss. That's interesting."
Kevin waved his hand. "No, the relationship is a bit complicated, but you could say they're close business partners."
He didn't explain much, after all, Men Qi was just joking.
The driver was Hava, a member of the Nosra Family mafia who was the first to contact Kevin.
Now, he's practically Kevin's underling, responsible for handling some of Kevin's tedious and trivial matters.
"How's the situation at the Manor?" Kevin asked.
"Nothing has changed since you left, but two young ladies visited yesterday, saying they were acting on your behalf."
Hearing this, Kevin nodded, surprised that they had arrived a day earlier than him and Men Qi.
The two young ladies' words.
Did Biscuit come along too?
His master seemed quite relaxed.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. She's in her fifties; perhaps this is the age to enjoy a more leisurely life.
These somewhat "rebellious" thoughts flashed through Kevin's mind.
The vehicle drove towards the Manor in the suburbs.
Several people got off the bus.
"This is where you live? It's quite grand!" Men Qi raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight and looked up at the Manor.
"It's alright. If you'd like, you can stay here for a few more days. I'd be very happy to oblige."
Your culinary skills are also very welcome.
The group chatted as they walked into the Manor.
Then they saw Biscuit sitting in the garden pavilion, drinking tea and talking with Neon.
Biscuit seemed to see Kevin returning and waved.
Kevin walked straight over.
"You were really slow to get back."
"I'm sorry, Master, I was still in the Kakin Empire when I contacted you."
"Don't call me master, it sounds old!" Biscuit said, displeased.
"Yes, Your Princess Biscuit, your Loyalty Knight is late."
After saying that, Kevin even knelt down dramatically, like Knight bowing.
Biscuit became interested, raised her head slightly, jumped off her seat, and put her hand on Kevin's arm.
"Your lovely princess will not punish you."
"Teacher!" A voice rang out, instantly shattering Biscuit's interest.
Upon entering and seeing this scene, Yungu immediately realized that he had come at the wrong time.
Unlike Yungu's seriousness, Kevin's easygoing personality sometimes happens to be on Biscuit's "channel".
Men Qi and the others could only stand outside, watching this scene with bewildered expressions.
They had guessed beforehand that the woman was Biscuit, after all, she was quite famous in the Hunter Association.
Although I've never seen a picture of her, I've heard descriptions of her appearance and can match them up with her features.
I just didn't expect her to have such a unique personality.
Uncle Kevin x2
Kurapika and Pairo followed Yungu.
Light and Rosana then arrived after hearing the news, followed by someone Kevin had never seen before.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the Three-star Hunter, Qiduo.
Dog Girl?
Her somewhat animal-like appearance is so unique that once you see her, you'll almost never forget her.
However, it's probably a disguise or function of Nen ability; it's unlikely to actually look like that.
In just a short while, all the important figures in the Manor had gathered in the garden.
Everyone introduced themselves and got to know each other.
After chatting for a while, Kevin led Biscuit, Qiduo, and Pairo to the family Infirmary on the Manor.
This Qiduo, seemed to be a straightforward person. She said directly, "This must be the patient. I have already done some preliminary examinations on his condition."
However, since you haven't arrived yet, a detailed check hasn't been conducted. Would you like me to perform a more thorough check now?
Since Kevin was the employer, she immediately went into work mode.
Upon hearing this, Kevin nodded.
"Then come with me, child."
Kevin patted Pairo on the shoulder.
Then, everyone saw Qiduo take out something that looked like a medical record.
She began asking Pairo questions, just like a routine consultation at a hospital.
She then began some simple examinations, using the ordinary medical equipment she carried with her.
But Kevin was no ordinary person; he could naturally tell that Nen Aura had been used throughout the entire examination.
It's not some kind of Nen ability, but rather a special technique.
Although the examination was thorough, it didn't take too long, and Qiduo quickly provided a diagnosis.
"The patient's problem is likely caused by a fall from a height during childhood."
Although the reason is unknown, there is no doubt that the patient did not receive proper treatment at the time, which left him with sequelae.
As people age, the range of effects of these symptoms widens.
"If this drags on for too long, even a highly precise surgery might not be enough to fully restore him to his healthy state."
These problems don't really need much explanation; they're neurological issues that are very difficult to repair.
Of course, her explanation here is based more on the current level of medical care available to ordinary people.
She pushed up her glasses and looked at Kevin, saying, "Of course, we are both Nen user. If I use my Nen ability for more precise treatment, he might recover."
However, this will take a long time; the entire treatment is expected to take at least three years, with two treatments per year.
Each session takes about two to three hours.
In terms of overall time, it doesn't sound like it will take much time, but there needs to be a gradual process during treatment to allow the body to adapt.
Pairo's problem was neither a sudden external injury nor a pre-existing medical condition.
It was a neurological problem. If it had been treated promptly after the fall, it would have been a simple matter for Qiduo, and she could have recovered in the blink of an eye.
The problem is that so many years have passed, and the issue remains unresolved, leading to increasingly severe aftereffects that have spread to the optic nerve.
Brain and legs.
This is just one of the more serious aspects.
In fact, his entire body became extremely weak, and the effects were all-encompassing.
Simply put, it's a problem caused by procrastination.
These kinds of problems cannot be solved by simple surgery; they require gradual recuperation and progressive palliative care.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, a look of disappointment clearly appeared on Pairo's face.
So, is my health really that bad?
If things continue like this, let alone revenge, even living a healthy life will become a problem.
"My Nen ability might be able to provide some assistance during the treatment. I invited you here not only to examine him, but also to collaborate with you on developing a specific medicine for his current condition."
Upon hearing Kevin's words, Qiduo didn't show much surprise; it was all within her expectations.
She spoke up, reminding me, "If that's the case, I'll inevitably have to delve deeper into your Nen ability. While I promise to keep it confidential, I hope you'll consider the risks involved carefully."
Her own Nen ability have the potential to perform examinations and related treatments.
The so-called in-depth collaborative research and development of a special drug obviously relies mainly on Kevin's Nen ability, while she provides assistance primarily through her professional knowledge and in-depth investigative skills.
Kevin nodded nonchalantly, "No problem, now we can talk about compensation."
Qiduo nodded. "I have little interest in ordinary money, but I hope to be paid with your potions."
If the medicine works as you described, I will reduce the payment accordingly.
She then added, "The costs will continue to increase from the moment we begin assisting with your treatment; I hope you are aware of this."
Kevin nodded; after all, the other party was Three-star Hunter, so it was reasonable for them to ask for a high price.
"This is the medicine I'm preparing for you first. You can take a look at it. These two doses are not included in the payment."
As he spoke, Kevin took two vials from his waist and handed them to Qiduo.
Qiduo pushed up her glasses, curiously took the medicine, and examined it from all angles, but did not immediately try to use it or conduct a more in-depth examination.
"Okay, I'll take a closer look in a bit."
At this point, a verbal agreement was reached between the two parties.
Qiduo will draft a contract, and treatment will officially begin tomorrow. Compensation will also be calculated from the date the contract is signed tomorrow.
She generously didn't calculate the round-trip travel time or the two wasted days.
It was then that Kevin learned that this Three-star Hunter was not only accomplished in the medical field, but also highly skilled in law.
This is simply the ultimate academic genius!
Both medicine and law are extremely demanding fields of study.
To become Hunter x Hunter is already a genius, and Three-star Hunter is the best of the best.
To be honest, Kevin was already looking forward to the process of collaborating with Qiduo on pharmaceuticals.
Even just listening to her advice might be very beneficial, since her knowledge is on a completely different level than his own, and even the original owner of this body was far inferior to her.
We're not even from the same dimension.
After everyone left, Kevin and Biscuit took a walk in the Manor.
"Those three people—were they from the Kurta Clan was wiped out before?" Biscuit asked.
Kevin wasn't surprised and nodded.
"It seems you've had quite a rough time lately, but judging from your appearance, your abilities haven't diminished either."
Actually, this was something that Biscuit was even more concerned about.
Kevin smiled and said, "Of course, I haven't slacked off on my training."
Kevin has consistently trained, and with the help of supplements, his overall strength has been steadily improving.
At present, his potential energy level is already over 20,000.
"I never expected you to actually eliminate the side effects of the medicine."
Compared to the others, Biscuit clearly knew more; for example, she knew that Kevin's Nen ability was actually post-mortem Nen.
But Kevin's ability to eliminate the side effects of the drug when used on others was somewhat unbelievable to her.
While Biscuit hasn't studied post-mortem Nen in depth, she certainly knows more about it than most Nen user.
However, it's clear that she doesn't understand Kevin's true situation as thoroughly as Kim, and her knowledge of the post-mortem Nen is also inferior to Kim's.
Biscuit or Shi might think of possibilities like consciousness entering a body or a soul creating a dwelling, but it's hard to imagine that the soul came from an unknown place called Minato.
"Biscuit, I'd like to talk to you about the Hunter x Hunter group."
"Hmm? Why are you talking about this?" This unexpected topic left Biscuit somewhat puzzled.
Kevin briefly explained his idea of building a potion shop.
Biscuit understood instantly.
"No problem, if it's just some advice, of course I can."
There is also a demand for these medications that no longer have Biscuit effects.
