Construction Site X Dream
In the gardens of the Nosra Manor.
Kevin lay comfortably on a chair in the courtyard, enjoying the leisurely afternoon.
It was supposed to be a leisurely place, but there were constant noises coming from all directions.
The entire Nosra Manor has now been transformed into a giant construction site, with all sorts of buildings being erected at a rapid pace.
Although the space was empty, the sounds of various machines were inevitably noisy.
The original Manor was just a small area in the mountains, accessible only by a road leading up to the mountaintop.
Nosra Manor is the only residence here.
This is what a wealthy person's enormous Manor looks like: built on the edge of the city, secluded and tranquil.
But now, the entire mountain and a large area of land behind the Manor have been included.
In comparison, the area around the Manor the Gate and the grassland inside the gate are the smallest parts of the estate.
Just then, the phone beeped.
Kevin sat up, picked up his phone, and carefully browsed through the messages.
It was a message from Begel, detailing the aftermath of Kevin's departure and the handling of matters related to the [Spiral] organization, with a particular focus on their spoils of war.
All the Golden Chicken and most of the fertilized eggs were handed over to Begel. This trophy is jointly owned by the two, and Begel is currently in charge of breeding it.
After all, Begel is Conservation hunter, so this is his area of expertise.
In addition, some Golden Egg that were not fertilized have been entrusted to Locke for delivery.
In addition to the [Growth Organ] Kevin already possessed, he could begin refining a batch of [Surging Potion].
Alright.
This is the name he gave to the New Potion.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, this medicine Chairman to come, but production will be limited.
There's nothing that can be done about it; the higher the level of the potion, the more complicated the material requirements.
Having a stable supply channel is already quite good; don't even dream of expanding production.
Therefore, we can't use [Power Potion] as indiscriminately as before, as long as the body can handle it. Instead, we need to plan our training time reasonably based on the output.
As for how effective this drug will be in training, to be honest, Kevin hasn't tried it yet.
Kevin couldn't be sure whether the increase in Qi could be remembered by the body.
This largely depends on how the drug exhibits its effects.
The potion I made earlier, which I thought would come in handy in battle, has been sitting idle until now.
Just then, Hava walked in.
"Boss, the goods have arrived. What are your plans?"
Upon hearing this, Kevin turned his head towards the Gate and indeed saw several huge trucks parked side by side there.
"The operation was quite efficient, thank you for your help."
Kevin scratched his head and said.
These trucks were carrying the Charging Armor breeding line that Kevin had acquired from the previous base, covering the entire process from breeding and raising ordinary Charging Armor vehicles to the associated organ transplantation and cultivation surgeries, and finally to the production of finished products.
To some extent, it takes about six months to obtain a [Growth Organ].
The reason the Manor undertook such extensive construction and purchased large tracts of land in the surrounding area was to reserve living space for these Charging Armor.
Fortunately, the production of Golden Egg is not high, so you don't need to raise too many Charging Armor; a scale of about two family units is enough.
"Just send it over according to the previously agreed plan. Make sure the monitoring equipment and the defensive fence are properly installed. I don't want any accidents to happen."
"If these bugs knock you all away, I'll have to spend a lot of time and effort piecing your bodies back together."
Hava nodded solemnly.
He had just seen them; the juvenile Beetle were the size of his head, and the adults were said to be as big as trucks.
Why keep this kind of thing?
Although he couldn't understand it, he still obediently took action.
"That lazy bum Begel."
Kevin couldn't help but complain.
He had hoped Begel could help raise Charging Armor, but Begel had absolutely no interest in Charging Armor compared to raising Golden Chicken.
After all, this thing is not mysterious at all; it is purely man-made and extremely troublesome to raise, requiring not only a large area but also a considerable amount of food.
Although Begel has a team, he mainly focuses on breeding high-quality products rather than large-scale farming.
So he refused without hesitation.
The reason for all of this is actually just one thing: he's not interested.
For Hunter x Hunter, anything that doesn't interest him is boring.
There was no other way; Kevin had to handle this personally.
"The team—it feels like we're short-handed again?"
Kevin lay back in his chair, rubbing his temples in exasperation.
As time went by and the team continued to grow, Nosra Manor undoubtedly became their core stronghold.
Everyone lives here, medicines are stored here, all kinds of materials are piled up and stored here, and the servers are all stored here.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Rosana's "home" will remain permanently located here.
Now that even Breeding Farm are located here, it's easy to imagine that similar material cultivation sites will only increase in the future.
This leads to a problem: as the territory expands, the number of things to handle increases, but the manpower to manage all the tasks becomes increasingly scarce.
They currently have a total of five Nen user, which seems like a lot at first glance.
However, in reality, the number of personnel capable of fighting is limited.
As the team leader, Kevin will inevitably have to travel around a lot in the future.
He needs to acquire various materials and travel to different places.
Even in the distant future.
It may take several years to travel to unknown places.
Kurapika has potential, but he is still in the development stage, and his main responsibility is to protect Nion's safety, which reduces the number of Nen user by two.
As for Rosana, her Nen ability have become a kind of core safeguard and fallback for the team.
And perhaps due to the influence of her past personality, she doesn't like living too far from home.
Occasionally, I assist with some financial transactions, read books, train, and take care of my son. My life is fulfilling and comfortable.
Moreover, Rosana's combat strength is indeed not high.
Using Nen ability, one can defend oneself here, but is insufficient for offense.
As a result, besides Kevin, the only Nen user in the team is Pairo.
Pairo hasn't been learning Nen ability for very long and can't yet unleash the powerful enough to deliver a decisive blow. Like Kurapika, his future development is promising, but his current strength is limited.
As Red Stone Pharmaceuticals grows and expands, Light needs a Nen user to act as his bodyguard.
Although Light is the only ordinary person in the team, his importance is self-evident.
Kevin's apothecary also needs a Nen user to be present at all times.
At present, a rotation system is mainly adopted, with everyone taking turns to go, just to change the environment.
But ultimately, there still needs to be a principal person in charge.
It would be a waste of human resources to expect Kevin to sit there every day for such a small matter.
The Charging Armor in the Breeding Farm are also a bit of a problem. Although there are special isolation zones to restrict their movement in specific areas, it's hard to guarantee that accidents won't happen.
Moreover, given the sheer size of the Nosra Manor, comprehensive defense and early warning measures are essential.
"Could we try to persuade Locke?"
Kevin muttered to himself.
Through this collaboration, Kevin witnessed Locke's abilities.
However, on second thought, the possibility of Locke joining the team is low. Although he is not a free-spirited person, he obviously values his career more.
The current cooperation model is quite good. He can be hired when needed, and there is a certain level of trust between them, which is crucial.
With that in mind, Kevin took out a pen and paper and wrote down one name after another.
Yungu, Men Qi, Buhaci- Gowen, Basho, Ba-jiao, Goreinu, Kite.
These are all people he knows, and they might be able to join the team.
After careful consideration, Kevin felt that Yungu and Kite were the least likely to join, so he crossed them off.
Men Qi and Xiahara are also unlikely to be involved, since they are suppliers, and if they don't operate outside the company, their role as suppliers cannot be fulfilled.
While they are unlikely to join the team, Kevin can hire them if needed, and at this stage, the two are considered trustworthy partners.
In a way, the same applies to Yungu and Kite; if needed, they should be willing to help, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
As for the remaining three, although they were born at the same time as Kevin, they may have only just learned Nen ability and are at the same stage as Kurapika and the others. At present, they don't seem to be able to meet the team's needs, so we'll have to deal with them when the opportunity arises.
After much thought, Kevin realized he couldn't find suitable team members.
Highly capable people often have their own principles and ideals. If they don't share the same vision and goals, it's indeed difficult for them to join your team.
In truth, the six members of the team had different goals, but because of Kevin, they were all closely connected in terms of feelings and interests, forming a community.
Even if we need to recruit more people, we'll probably only be able to hire peripheral staff.
Kevin suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Why not just issue bodyguard mission requests directly?"
After all, most Hunter x Hunter have a good reputation, which is something to consider.
"Hiss."
Kevin then came up with another idea.
During this operation, he encountered two Nen user could control animals. It must be said that this ability was very useful, especially for him.
Currently, he has Golden Chicken and Charging Armor to take care of, and in the future, there may be even more animals to manage.
Even simple guidance and control can make aquaculture work much easier.
"Could you issue a request to find a Nen user with the relevant Nen ability? The ability doesn't need to be too strong; they just need to be in charge of animal breeding and don't need to participate in research."
"Then we'll recruit another bodyguard to temporarily protect Light's safety."
As for whether the recruits were trustworthy, Kevin thought, "I'll find out once I give them a punch. I can't tell if they're genuine or not, but I can always distinguish between good and evil. If they don't have malicious intent, there will naturally be fewer problems."
After thinking things through, Kevin didn't act immediately. Instead, he continued to sit in the courtyard and took out some files to look through.
These files may become his targets in the future; they all come from the [Spiral] organization's storage base.
These files are of great significance to Kevin, as they can save him a lot of time.
[Phantom Beast][Demonic Beast][Rare Beast]
These fantastical creatures, unlike ordinary wild beasts, have left behind all sorts of legends in the human world.
Legends from all over the world record all aspects of these stories, giving rise to many fables and folk tales.
While these records certainly contain a great deal of falsehood and conjecture, they also contain a considerable amount of factual information.
The story collection Kevin bought earlier was confirmed on the Hunter Association's information website.
The files he now possesses have been verified twice by the [Spiral] organization.
<The Luwa River: A River God Legend - An Investigation and Tracking File>
<Benil Mountain Wind Blast Beast - Investigation and Tracking Files>
<Secret Realm Dream Village Investigation Report>
There are more than a dozen such reports, which not only involve the investigation of some strange Beasts, but also the investigation of related Secret Realm and magic mirrors.
Clearly, other Hunter x Hunter within the [Spiral] organization are involved in these activities.
These investigation reports were preserved because they are traceable, contain real clues, and have a high probability that these strange Beasts really exist.
This means Kevin can use these files to launch an investigation directly.
After looking at it for a while, Kevin put down the file and left the garden.
He made his way to the Erasure Room, where a key appeared in his hand. He inserted it into the center of the void door, pushed it open, and went inside.
This is Kevin's Pharmaceutical Room, where all sorts of materials are stored.
Kevin pondered for a moment, then tapped the key lightly. His body gradually became ethereal and disappeared from the room.
When he appeared in the hidden Nen ability space, he found that the surrounding environment was very different from the outside.
Logically speaking, outer space and mileage space should be exactly the same.
He saw Kurapika, and Rosana was fast asleep on the bed not far away.
What happened?
Kevin was puzzled.
They had previously verified that if a "home" was set up outside, the chain space inside would maintain that set shape.
It will never revert to its original form as "home".
This is clearly where Kurapika and his friends used to live, and you can still see various decorations unique to the Kurta Clan on the surrounding walls.
On the wall hang the traditional costumes they often wear.
At that moment, Kurapika was standing in front of the fireplace, staring blankly at something.
Kevin followed his gaze and immediately fell silent.
Two paintings hang above the fireplace.
The painting depicts only three people: young Kurapika, Rosana, and her husband.
The other one looks more like a photograph, with many people standing densely packed together, seemingly a group photo of their Kurta Clan.
In the past, Kurapika's pupils would have turned crimson when he was in a fight. But now, after a long period of training, the three members of the Kurta Clan can control the changes in their eyes very well.
Kevin walked over to Kurapika and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Normally, you can't see either of the paintings," Kurapika said quietly.
Even when she went to the L-dimensional space, Rosana would secretly hide the two paintings.
Perhaps it was to avoid seeing it and causing further heartache.
I'm clearly not a child anymore.
Kevin didn't say anything, but simply stared at the two paintings with him.
"I'm so surprised, Uncle. I didn't expect you to come in at this time."
Kurapika forced a smile and looked at Kevin.
Kevin looked around the room and asked, "Have the rules of the Nen Space changed?"
Kurapika shook his head. "I don't know. If Mom is asleep, she might experience some kind of change in certain situations. Obviously, this isn't the first time such a change has happened. As Rosana's son, Kurapika has even figured out a pattern."
Kevin immediately realized that Rosana must be dreaming.
Kevin, who had a better understanding of Nen ability, realized that Rosana's will had altered the way Nen ability manifested in the dream.
It's very likely that she dreamed of her former home; after all, that memory is deeply etched in her mind and hard to forget.
Just then, the space began to sway and distort in an unreal way.
First, the two paintings gradually disappeared, and then the entire room began to change, transforming back into Kevin's Pharmaceutical Room.
"It looks like your mother is about to wake up."
Kevin spoke, his body lurched slightly.
At that moment, Kurapika could still see him, but Kevin couldn't see Kurapika; he quietly returned to outer space.
Kurapika found a seat, picked up a book, and began to read.
"Kurapika? Is Mom asleep?"
Rosana sat up in bed, rubbed her temples, and asked.
"Hmm, it's probably because I'm too tired and my kidneys are hurting."
