Men Qi Returns X Wants to Eat

"Gold?!"

Begel walked out of the research room and was somewhat surprised to see people standing Breeding Farm.

At this moment, Jin was standing at the edge of the Golden Chicken Breeding Farm.

Because the demand for Golden Chicken farming is large, and there are so many of them, Begel enclosed them on the other side of the research base, occupying a significant area.

In front of Jin was a wooden pillar, and on it stood a Golden Chicken.

Begel remembered the chicken.

This is the leader of these twenty chickens, the Golden Chicken King.

It was a true creature, one that even he couldn't accept.

However, a leader can effectively prevent bloodshed within the tribe, so he let it be.

Moreover, this Golden Chicken King is not stupid.

At this moment, Jin and the Golden Chicken King were staring at each other, silently gazing at one another and threatening each other.

"Is that your master?" Baishu stood to the side, pointing at Jin in the distance, and asked with a puzzled look.

Begel nodded.

Baishu stood still, observing. "Well, this guy seems a bit unreliable," she thought.

When it comes to chickens or something.

The Golden Chicken, which was confronting Jin, suddenly nipped its head, as if it wanted to peck at Jin.

Without flinching, Jin stretched his head forward and viciously rammed it into the Golden Chicken's head, knocking the Golden Chicken dizzy and causing it to fall off the wooden stake.

Looking at the fallen Golden Chicken, a smug smile appeared on Jin's face. He reached out and touched the slightly red and swollen spot on his forehead, where he had just directly removed the energy from his head.

"Looks like I won, little chick."

After leaving those words, Jin strutted over with his legs apart and swaggered toward Begel.

He seemed quite pleased with himself for what he had just done.

"Hey, Begel, long time no see. I heard you've done something big lately."

Begel nodded slightly. "What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Jin definitely didn't just come to see him; she must have come specifically for something important, or perhaps she even had business to attend to.

I just happened to be passing by.

Otherwise, if the matter wasn't important, the other party probably wouldn't have made a special trip for it.

There's nothing I can do about it; that's just the kind of person he is.

Jin nodded directly. "I heard that the organization you fought against this time is called [Spiral], right?"

Begel nodded.

After this incident, many Hunter x Hunter were paying attention to the matter obtained some relevant information, so it's not exactly a secret.

It's not difficult to acquire gold.

"I've had some conflicts with them in the past regarding Ruins exploration."

"I heard that you personally located their storage warehouse and even found a lot of their past research files inside?"

Jin asked, "This is the main purpose of my trip."

He needs these research files to broaden his thinking and, incidentally, to see if there are any clues that can answer the questions he has encountered before.

After all, although the other party is essentially a bioengineering organization, it has also invested a lot of effort in exploring Ruins.

He had even heard of specimens of the giant worm from the Ruins.

"Can't you just check the Association's files for this kind of thing?"

Begel was somewhat puzzled.

Jin is Two-star Hunter, so accessing this kind of data is not difficult for him. Even without the necessary permissions, he has ways to obtain it.

"Stop nagging, hurry up and show it to me!"

Jin suddenly spoke, his expression somewhat unnatural.

Begel and Kim had known each other for a long time, and seeing his expression, Berger knew that the guy was definitely acting strangely again, so he couldn't help but laugh in sudden realization.

His smile annoyed Jin, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Okay, I did copy some important files."

With that, Begel led Kim toward the archives of the research base.

Halfway there, Begel seemed to remember something, and took a box out of his pocket and handed it to Kim.

"What is this? Red Stone Pharmaceuticals?"

Jin took the box, opened it, and saw the Member Card inside. The red Rock logo on it looked very familiar.

After all, this company has been making a lot of noise lately, and it's quite well-known.

Even if he didn't know it, the ordinary enthusiasts who were with him would know and talk about it.

For many middle-aged men, this is their savior.

"That's right, Kevin founded that company. This is Member Card; you can use it to buy the potions he makes."

Upon hearing this, Jin nodded.

"It seems he has eliminated the side effects."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Jin's eyes.

After all, Kevin's situation is unique, with no one to compare him to.

His speculation about Kevin's condition was merely a conjecture based on his own experience, but now that Kevin has successfully removed the Resentment attached to his Nen Aura, it proves that his previous conjecture was correct.

However, after accepting the Member Card, Jin scratched his head somewhat helplessly.

How should we reciprocate?

He was conflicted.

For him, this could be considered a Gift.

After a moment's thought, Kim asked Begel about Kevin's current situation.

However, Begel didn't know much about Kevin's current situation either, and only briefly mentioned what he knew.

After understanding the situation, Jin nodded, having formed some thoughts in his mind.

By this time, they had arrived at the archives, and Kim's attention was immediately drawn to it.

After reviewing the information, Jin became interested in the Golden Chicken and decided to stay for a few days to study it carefully.

In a remote Small Town in a desolate wasteland Men Qi and Xiahara sat in the Small Town's only restaurant.

This Small Town is located in the forest and has abundant forest resources, but communication with the outside world has become difficult.

Aside from the monthly delivery of supplies and caravans, this place can only be described as completely isolated from the world.

Many residents of the Small Town gathered around, watching them, mainly looking at Buhaci.

Can we still eat?

His belly is almost as big as a ball.

"My God, what kind of monster is that?"

The surrounding residents were amazed.

In this quiet, desolate Small Town, there are usually few guests, let alone a big eater like Buhaci.

By this time, Xiahara's belly was swollen like a round ball, but he still ate with great relish.

Moreover, he ate extremely quickly, able to shave the meat off the bones in no time, spit out a clean, new bone, swallow the last roast suckling pig in one gulp, and then let Xiahara a loud burp.

"I'm full."

"Are you finally full?!"

"Amazing!"

"Does eating more really make you taller? Then I should—"

"Idiot, that's not why you ate so much!"

Hearing the residents shouting and yelling, Xiahara didn't care at all, and even chatted with them with a smile.

Men Qi shook her head helplessly beside her.

Meanwhile, the people in the kitchen saw that Buhaci had finally finished eating and was sitting on the floor, completely exhausted.

This is quite a challenge.

"Now that you're full, it's time to go."

With that, Men Qi picked up her bag and left the restaurant.

Buhaci turned his head and waved goodbye to the residents watching him, and the children waved back.

With his Buhaci always gets along very well with everyone.

Once outside, their vehicle was loaded with all sorts of ingredients, the most eye-catching of which was a strange sea serpent that took up almost half of the truck bed.

"With so much stuff packed, it's time to head back."

Men Qi, standing at the car door, sighed and said.

Buhaci walked over, trying to squeeze into the back seat, but found that because he had eaten too much, he couldn't fit in at all.

"Idiot! Drink some Digestion Potion!"

Hearing this, Xiahara scratched his head and couldn't help but say, "There's only one left, and the potion isn't cheap either."

They could get a discount on the medicine, but it still cost several million, which seemed a bit wasteful just to digest food.

"We need to go back and resupply. We can get another batch from Kevin later."

"Also, send him the materials you've collected over this period of time. Our next destination is going to be Danger Level."

Men Qi chattered on and on as she opened the car door and drove away from the Small Town.

After a long and winding journey, transporting various goods, they arrived at the Nosra Manor once again.

"Oh!"

Looking at the Manor, Xiahara couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He remembered they had only been gone for a few months, how come things have changed so much?

And if he remembered correctly, the Manor hadn't been expanded to this extent before.

Upon entering this forest, they immediately sensed that someone was observing them.

"Was it renovated?" Men Qi, somewhat puzzled.

Indeed, you can see some buildings that you couldn't see before, and even traces of construction sites.

Soon, guided by the bodyguards at the entrance, they entered the Manor.

The two were Kevin's friends after all, and had worked at the Manor for quite some time, so everyone at the Manor knew them.

The two were stunned as soon as they entered.

Their gaze was drawn to a creature.

It was a Golden Chicken standing on the rooftop, glittering in the sunlight.

"Cluck cluck cluck!" The shrill crowing of a rooster rang out.

"Whoosh!" An Aura Bullet shot up from below and hit the target instantly.

Feathers scattered and fell, the Golden Chicken's crow abruptly ceased, and it flew down from the roof.

They finally behaved themselves.

"What breed of chicken is that?" Xiahara muttered to himself, his mouth practically watering.

His food radar is flashing.

"Are golden chickens a special breed?" Men Qi was also very curious.

Just then, Kevin walked over, muttering to himself, "That damn chicken, all it does is squawk all day long. It's not a threat at all, yet it keeps squawking."

These Golden Chicken had previously tried to challenge Kevin's authority, but after being beaten up a few times, they became much more obedient, crowing twice each time.

He doesn't hold a grudge even after Kevin hits him.

Of course, this only applies to Kevin.

If it were Kurapika or Pairo, they'd be in for a rough time.

Upon seeing Men Qi and the other person, Kevin smiled and hugged them.

"It's been a few months, you look like you've gained a little weight," Kevin said with a smile, patting Buhaci's belly.

Buhaci just chuckled twice.

"Kevin, what's the deal with that chicken?" Men Qi asked impatiently.

Her attention was completely focused on the chicken, because it looked like a good ingredient.

She's Gourmet Hunter; her judgment is never wrong.

Kevin actually has such a precious pet.

"Golden Chicken? This is a trophy I acquired recently; it's a Rare Beast."

Kevin said nonchalantly.

"Golden Chicken? Could it be... the kind that lays Golden Egg in stories?"

Men Qi seemed to have thought of something.

The Golden Chicken that lays Golden Egg is a common theme in stories and is considered a well-known fable.

Kevin nodded.

"You know, those Golden Chicken really do lay Golden Egg."

Men Qi's eyes lit up instantly, while Xiahara next to him drooled.

Men Qi rushed over and hugged Kevin's arm tightly.

"Please let me have one, please! I'll do anything!"

"Uh-huh!"

Buhaci nodded frantically beside him.

Men Qi would do anything.

Oh no, Kevin suddenly remembered that these two were Gourmet Hunter, and they would definitely want to taste the Golden Chicken.

Want to eat Golden Chicken?

Kevin recalled reading about the Golden Chicken File, which reportedly said the food didn't taste very good.

However, it's also possible that those people's cooking methods were flawed; after all, Gourmet Hunter are professionals in this area.

"Hmm—it's not entirely impossible."

Kevin thought about it for a moment and felt there was no reason to refuse.

He now has three Golden Chicken: two roosters and one old hen.

Begel sent these three Golden Chicken over because they were of little use in breeding.

The old hen lays eggs very infrequently; it has only laid one egg in the two months since it came here.

One on average every two months.

A normal, healthy chicken should be able to lay one or more eggs per month.

As for those two roosters, besides fighting and crowing all day, they were of no practical use.

The main source of the Golden Egg was still Locke's transportation.

In Begel's area, the breeding of Golden Chicken is on track, and they are able to produce a stable supply of five eggs per month.

Sometimes you can get even more.

Therefore, there's really nothing wrong with eating a rooster.

"Really? You're so kind!" Men Qi exclaimed excitedly.

Kevin also wanted to try it. If food made from such Life Force Beasts contained powerful energy, it might be a good thing for users of the [Digestion Potion].

Moreover, to break through the limits of the physical body, one also needs to make some attempts in this regard.

Besides, keeping a rooster isn't really of much use.

In the end, Kevin also wanted to try it.

He had complete faith in their cooking skills; this was a rare opportunity.

The two brought with them a large amount of materials they had collected.

At this moment, the two of them had no interest in the materials at all. After dumping them on Kevin, they rushed toward the Golden Chicken.

"It's Buhaci!"

Kurapika was very excited when he saw the two of them.

His excitement stemmed from a simple reason: they were in for a treat.

They still cherish the happy times they had with Men Qi.

"It's Men Qi!"

Nion's tone also carried a hint of excitement, because Men Qi was an excellent pastry maker.

Simply put, everyone's affection for Men Qi and the other person only increased because of the food.

Even the usually composed Pairo couldn't help but nod excitedly.

At that moment, they saw Men Qi catching chickens.

Men Qi produced a bottle resembling Seasoning Bottle in her hand and casually waved it around.

The powder from the Seasoning Bottle spilled out, and a burst of air carrying the powder shot out like an arrow, moving at incredible speed.

It struck the fleeing Golden Chicken instantly, but did not cause it any harm.

Instead, the dust, carried by the Nen Aura, spread and trapped the Golden Chicken.

The Golden Chicken struggled to fly once, then wobbled and collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.

Kevin, who was following behind, also witnessed this scene.

To be honest, he wasn't quite sure about the Xiahara and Men Qi.

All that is known is that Buhaci's Nen ability is related to the fat in his body, and coupled with his obese and enormous physique, this makes his Nen ability extremely powerful.

Men Qi's ability seems to be related to seasoning powder. Normally, she would throw a kitchen knife as an attack, but this is more of a conventional fighting style.

Seeing Men Qi carrying the Golden Chicken with a big smile on her face, Kevin reminded her from the side, "It is said that the meat of the Golden Chicken is not very tasty, and I only have three here in total. The old hen can still lay eggs, so you can't kill her."

"Besides, these chickens are social animals, so there must be at least two of them. Therefore, this one is the only one you can eat."

Men Qi nodded, not caring.

Then her attention was diverted again, and she leaned closer to Kevin and asked, "Golden Egg? Right, these chickens lay eggs, right? So, can these Golden Egg be okay? You look so stingy."

Seeing Kevin's expression, Men Qi pursed her lips, but she didn't intend to give up.

"I don't need many, just three, how about that?"

"Hehe."

"So stingy, what about the two?"

"At most one, it's a gift from our partners, not even one more."

"One?"

"What can you do with an egg?" Men Qi was a little unhappy, but seeing Kevin's determined expression, she could only nod.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time, we'll find a way later. At worst, we can find some high-level materials that Kevin can't refuse.

Furthermore, it is currently uncertain whether Golden Chicken's eggs and chicken meat are suitable for cooking.

If it's simply not suitable, there's nothing that can be done; after all, not all living things are edible.

The two rushed into the kitchen, completely absorbed in their work, and began to study the subject.

Kurapika and his two companions peered curiously from the kitchen doorway.

Kevin ignored them and went to the materials that Men Qi and the other person had brought.

The truckload of materials delivered this time was full, filled with bottles and jars containing all sorts of materials.

Clearly, Men Qi and his companion were highly skilled in the storage and handling of various materials, and their techniques were quite sophisticated.

To be honest, Kevin felt he was unlikely to be able to cut and preserve parts of organisms with such precision as they did.

As expected of Gourmet Hunter.

Then, Kevin began to check the materials one by one.

There are no B-Rank materials, but there are three top-tier C-Rank materials, and most of the other materials have some value.

Of the more than twenty scattered materials, fewer than five did not evoke any desire.

It hasn't been that long! I have to say, Men Qi and his partner are really efficient and have great execution skills.

Kevin felt that turning them into suppliers was the most profitable deal he had ever made.

"Well done! Give them an extra egg."

Kevin muttered to himself as he checked the materials.

With so many ingredients, it takes a lot of time to distinguish their medicinal properties and figure out how to combine them.

This is another kind of life that is both painful and joyful.
