Teaching X What They Want

Inside the garden.

Kevin and Biscuit sat facing each other in the courtyard. After the maid set out tea and snacks, she quietly took her leave.

Tell me, what are some things you're confused about that you need me to help you with?

Biscuit took a sip of her black tea and said with a smile.

She needed to begin fulfilling her duties as a mentor, answering her apprentice's questions.

Kevin nodded, and said unhurriedly, as if in casual conversation, "Teacher, you should know that my Nen ability has now eliminated its side effects and can be used by others."

To earn enough money, expand my network, and acquire sufficient materials, I plan to sell the Nen ability potions I make.

Biscuit nodded upon hearing Kevin's words.

In her opinion, this was a pretty good choice.

Kevin's Nen ability is essentially a purely supportive ability.

After eliminating the side effects, the drug's effectiveness increased significantly, truly becoming a support-type Nen ability.

This is what Nen ability should be like!

In this situation, selling the drug would indeed be a wise move.

After all, making these potions requires some special materials, some of which are expensive and some are even difficult to obtain.

If Kevin were to travel the world alone to track down and hunt for materials, how much time would that take?

How much efficiency is reduced?

The problem isn't whether it's possible to hunt, but the time wasted in the process.

By selling potions to earn resources, and then using these resources to buy and acquire new materials, you can create even more potions to reward yourself.

This is undoubtedly a very ideal virtuous cycle, and the connections and wealth accumulated in this process are merely incidental gains.

It seems Kevin has a very clear plan for himself, which is good.

To be honest, when Biscuit was coaching Kevin more than half a year ago, my biggest worry was that Kevin would feel lost.

Although she didn't know what Kevin had gone through, during the initial teaching, the confusion in his eyes and his utter ignorance almost permeated his entire being.

To be honest, Kevin didn't seem surprised at all when he suddenly started playing.

Kevin is not going down the bad path she feared; on the contrary, he is getting better and better, which makes her very happy.

In her view, a gemstone not only needs someone like her to polish it, but also needs to refine and radiate its own brilliant light.

Her tone was tinged with relief.

"That's a good idea. It seems you already have a general plan. So, you'd like me to offer some suggestions based on your idea?"

Biscuit roughly guessed Kevin's intention and asked.

Kevin nodded. "That's roughly the idea. Teacher, you've seen the Nen ability potions I made. Their primary target market is undoubtedly Hunter x Hunter, followed by those with power and influence."

Kevin then briefly explained some of his thoughts, including matters related to [suppliers].

The supplier is the key.

Everything else is just an add-on.

"Teacher, you have a long and distinguished career in the Hunter Association, and you must have your own unique insights into the Hunter x Hunter community."

So I'd like to ask if you have any suggestions for me to consider.

Biscuit ignored Kevin's mention of "senior experience" and skipped it, only giving it a moment's thought.

He then offered some valuable advice.

"First, I must remind you that the Hunter x Hunter community is diverse, including many who are stubborn, flawed, and unscrupulous."

Kevin was already prepared for this and nodded in agreement.

"However, you can rest assured that for most Hunter x Hunter, contracts are very important to them."

"Most Hunter x Hunter highly value the spirit of the contract; after all, those who possess Nen ability and become Hunter x Hunter all have their own principles to uphold to some extent."

Biscuit pointed out a crucial point that Kevin hadn't considered.

"Very contract-abiding?"

Kevin never expected that the Hunter x Hunter, Biscuit described as full of problems, would have such Specialization.

Biscuit nodded. "That's one of the great advantages of Hunter x Hunter. Otherwise, how could the Hunter Association have its current status and privileges?"

"If it weren't for this Specialization, why would so many people be willing to hire Hunter x Hunter?"

"It's important to understand that a significant portion of Hunter x Hunter rely primarily on being hired by powerful and influential individuals for their livelihood."

Simply put, not all Hunter x Hunter have unique ways of making money.

Many Hunter x Hunter, apart from their superhuman strength, have no other outstanding advantages.

Becoming bodyguards and accepting commissions became their main job.

This is also their main source of income, far exceeding the wealth they acquire from other channels.

Those who would hire Hunter x Hunter are undoubtedly among the world's top powers and leaders.

Furthermore, since they are Nen user, the income they earn through this employment method is quite considerable.

After a moment's thought, Biscuit gave an example based on some data she had learned from the Hunter Association.

"Take bodyguard work for example. Many Hunter x Hunter will accept commissions to serve as bodyguards. These bodyguard jobs are usually long-term, calculated in years."

"Many Hunter x Hunter's injuries and deaths stem from this industry; many are seriously injured or even lose their lives while on missions."

"There have even been cases where, after the target being protected was killed, the Hunter x Hunter who accepted the commission sought revenge out of resentment."

The main reason is actually their own selfishness.

Nen user often possess extreme traits that are not typical of ordinary people. For some protectors, failing to protect their intended recipients is a great disgrace.

These Hunter x Hunter may have been acting primarily for themselves, but the process also helped the victims exact revenge.

These cases truly surprised Kevin.

Because he had to admit that the spirit of contract is a highly commendable virtue.

He couldn't help but scratch his head, thinking: Could Hunter x Hunter really possess such noble qualities?

"Of course, I'm talking about the vast majority of cases. In any group, there will always be a small group of people with terrible character, scum who don't even have the most basic principles."

However, Kevin felt that this was already quite good.

It is truly commendable if most people in a group possess such a strong sense of contract, even at the cost of their lives.

No wonder the Hunter x Hunter community has been able to grow and thrive; after all, they enjoy many privileges.

Such a group is exactly what those in power and influence want.

"So, your idea of establishing a [supplier] system using contracts and agreements is perfectly fine and unlikely to cause any major problems."

"Even if problems arise, it won't cause you too much trouble; it's a good idea."

Biscuit nodded in agreement.

Then, her expression turned serious. "However, your understanding of the Hunter x Hunter community isn't deep enough. Based on the prices on your current list, how much do you estimate you can earn?"

Kevin did not hide anything from his teacher regarding these questions.

"Even without considering labor costs, I sell them for at least ten times the price of basic materials. For some special and highly practical potions, I will raise the price accordingly."

This is clearly a highly profitable, monopolistic industry.

It should also be noted that this is without considering labor costs. As Kevin's own strength increases, the labor costs for making the potions will also continue to rise.

After all, the stronger he is, the higher his asking price will be.

Biscuit nodded, indicating her agreement with the pricing.

In her view, labor costs should naturally account for a higher percentage.

Especially considering that his apprentice is both talented and capable, such a price is reasonable.

She even thought she might have sold it too cheaply.

"Does it take you a lot of time to make these potions? Approximately how long?"

Biscuit continued to ask questions; she was making plans for her apprentice.

Because she already knew Kevin's personality quite well, she no longer shied away from asking questions that she might not have asked in the past.

"The more expensive the potion, the longer it takes to make. However, as my strength increases, the production time will decrease accordingly."

"With my current abilities, it would take me about 10 to 20 minutes to make a potion worth around 100 million."

At this point, Kevin seemed to remember something else and added, "Based on my recent experience, the more of the same potion you produce, the faster the production speed will gradually increase, but the reduction won't be significant, only around 10%-20%."

Moreover, this situation will only gradually appear after at least thirty pieces have been made.

The first thing to show this phenomenon was the [Digestion Potion] he made a few days ago, which is also the medicine he used the most.

Upon hearing this answer, Biscuit immediately became serious and lightly tapped the table.

"If that's the case, why didn't you set any limits when you sold the medicine?"

You underestimate the Hunter x Hunter's purchasing power and the assistance your potion can provide.

Don't underestimate these fifteen minutes; in Hunter x Hunter's battle, these fifteen minutes can be a key factor in securing victory.

Moreover, Kevin's potions can be used in combination, although this may cause some discomfort.

Using it too much can also cause problems.

But compared to the potential damage inflicted during combat, these are acceptable.

Moreover, these medications can be used intermittently as long as the daily usage limit is not exceeded.

In the field of auxiliary drugs, Kevin's Nen ability can be said to have reached an extremely high level, especially after eliminating the side effects.

Its value has risen rapidly.

Given the Hunter x Hunter's financial resources, he will definitely buy in large quantities, and there is even a possibility that he will resell them.

As Biscuit's eyes are concerned, given the availability of currently available medications, she would stockpile a lot of them herself if there were no limits.

Even when the sale started, they could easily sell out Kevin's entire inventory without any problems.

Moreover, Kevin was openly selling the drugs within the Nen user community.

There are quite a few people willing to buy, and customers will flock to the store at that time.

Kevin is the only one capable of making the potion, and even if he works 24 hours a day, he probably still won't be able to meet the demand.

Kevin fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Actually, he had considered this issue, but he was still in the preparation stage and hadn't had time to think about how to deal with the business after it became a hit.

Moreover, he made the medicine and owned the shop; if such a situation were to occur, he could simply close down and take a break.

After all, he was Hunter x Hunter, and Hunter x Hunter are meant to do as they please and are not bound by any rules.

However, since even a veteran Hunter x Hunter Biscuit has specifically pointed this out, it means that these potions could indeed cause a frenzy in the market, and this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

Biscuit Kevin deep in thought, Bisky quietly added, "You need to understand that for you, the quality of your clients is far more important than the quantity."

"Don't forget, what was the purpose of building this system by selling drugs? That's very important."

This sentence flashed through Kevin's mind like a flash of inspiration.

Yes, for him, customer quality is indeed more crucial.

What he needs are the materials, and then the connections and wealth that come with them.

Only high-quality clients are more likely to provide him with the resources he needs. Those Nen user are mediocre and have no special skills are of little value to him.

Moreover, there's no need to worry too much about wealth; once Red Stone Pharmaceuticals gets on track, wealth will naturally come rolling in.

"Thank you very much, teacher. Your words have benefited me greatly." Kevin nodded to Biscuit in thanks.

Biscuit took a sip of her black tea and waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

The topic then shifted to another aspect.

"Those survivors of the Kurta Clan, and that little girl named Neon, are they considered your subordinates?"

Her voice carried a hint of teasing.

Kevin smiled. "If you really want to put it that way, you could say that. They are indeed working for me now."

"Then you'd better train them well. They all seem to be promising talents, and they deserve your careful nurturing," Biscuit said, staring at Kevin with a slightly serious expression.

As a Gem Hunter, what she hates most is seeing high-quality rough stones go to waste.

If a poorly crafted gemsmith cuts it into a low-quality gem, she will be even more furious; it's something she can't tolerate.

Hearing this, Kevin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Teacher, have you ever thought about personally guiding their training?"

"You are the most skilled Gem Hunter; only with your polishing can these 'gems' Emission most brilliant light."

"Hmph, don't even think about it." Biscuit understood Kevin's intentions perfectly well and refused outright.

"My passion for polishing raw stones has been almost completely exhausted by you and Yungu."

I won't have this kind of interest again anytime soon.

"They are promising talents, but not enough for me to be willing to do anything to nurture them."

"While Nen ability and talent are certainly important, personality, physique, experience, age, and other factors are equally essential for becoming a perfect 'Raw Stone.'"

As she spoke, she pointed at Kevin: "Someone like you doesn't meet the standard, you know?"

"Yes, yes, but teacher, it shouldn't be a problem if you occasionally offer some guidance, right?"

"That's fine. While you're at it, let me see Yungu's teaching results."

In Biscuit's view, Yungu was gentle and patient, and indeed possessed the Specialization of an excellent teacher.

I can teach him, teach the techniques to children with Nen user.

This can be considered as giving his apprentices an extra tutoring session after they have graduated.

At this point, she looked at Kevin again. "Teaching one is the same as teaching several, so you should join in too."

In her eyes, Kevin's growth rate was a bit too fast, mostly due to the drugs he provided.

She needs to test whether Kevin can fully utilize his abilities.

The main problem is that Kevin's physical abilities have developed too quickly, almost reaching their limit. Could the [Digestion Potion] really be that powerful?

"No problem, teacher, I can't wait," Kevin said with a smile, naturally eager to do so without the slightest dissatisfaction.

"However, I need to take care of Pairo's matter first."

Biscuit waved her hand dismissively. "It's alright, your training is just extra practice at most, it won't take up much of your time."

Those time-consuming basic training sessions were only necessary for a fledgling Kevin; now he has gradually matured and is on the right track.

She was more interested in knowing Kevin's current situation.

In Biscuit's view, the framework she has built for Kevin's growth has taken initial shape, and now it's up to Kevin himself to Emission.

She doesn't mind using her experience and skills to make that light shine even brighter.

They chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

Kevin found Men Qi and Buhaci.

At this moment, the two were standing by the Training Ground, watching Yungu train Kurapika, while Neon next to them was already exhausted.

Men Qi waved to Kevin as he approached.

Kevin went over and sat down next to her.

I never imagined you and Yungu were from the same sect!

"You know him?" Kevin, somewhat surprised.

"We were Hunter x Hunter at the same time, we got our Hunter License together," Men Qi explained.

Upon hearing this, Kevin suddenly realized what was going on, and after careful calculation, it seemed to be true.

"Do you two have anything important to do lately? If not, why don't you stay here a little longer?" Kevin suggested.

Men Qi and Buhaci exchanged a glance and discussed their thoughts. Then, Men Qi looked at Kevin.

"We don't really have any special plans lately, so staying here a little longer is quite nice. To be honest,"

The people here are quite interesting.

Men Qi keenly sensed the unique atmosphere here.

Leaving Biscuit and Qiduo, even these young people who are currently training all seem to be extremely talented.

Although Men Qi herself was only two or three years older than them, in her eyes, these people were indeed full of potential.

"That's good. I've almost figured out the development and operation plan for the Pharmacy."

I'm going to refine this a few more days, and then we can officially sign the contract and become partners. I'd also like to hear your thoughts at that time.

Kevin explained.

Hearing this, Men Qi nodded, naturally having no objection.

They also needed to rest for a while, and took the opportunity to gather information about their next travel destination.

Why not live in such a comfortable Manor?

After saying that, the three of them sat down and chatted while watching the training session on the Training Ground.

Yungu's training for these individuals was roughly divided into three steps: basic training, meditation, and combat training.

In Yungu's view, if these young people want to become outstanding Nen user, meditation is crucial, followed by basic physical training.

It must be said that although Kevin has been gone for almost a month, Kurapika and the other young people have indeed seen a visible improvement in their strength during that time.

However, when to guide them to awaken their Nen ability, and how to build unique Nen ability for them, are all questions that Yungu needs to carefully consider based on the actual situation.
