New Addition X Dragon's Draught

Squala ultimately stayed.

For no other reason than that the offer Kevin made was simply too tempting.

Although he is a Nen user, don't assume that all Nen user are necessarily wealthy.

For the vast majority of Nen user, Nen ability is merely a means to make more money, but even so,

Income remains limited.

In the real world, it's not simply a matter of who has the bigger fist and who has the money.

Ordinary Nen user are just physically stronger than ordinary people; gangsters can easily take their lives.

One pistol is enough.

Especially Nen user like Squala who aren't even considered Hunter x Hunter.

To become Hunter x Hunter, besides a certain amount of luck, you also need many basic abilities, such as sharp eyesight, thinking ability, combat skills, and basic knowledge.

These are all qualities that a Professional Hunter should have. For someone like Squala, even with Nen ability, obtaining Hunter x Hunter's license would be extremely difficult.

This is actually the common situation for most Amateur Hunter.

They seem to be stronger than ordinary people, but only to a limited extent.

In the face of modern-day firearms, unless Nen user, they remain lambs to the slaughter.

When Kevin offered a generous annual salary of 100 million, Squala signed the contract on the spot without hesitation.

Don't underestimate this 100 million. For Professional Hunter like Kevin and Men Qi, this amount of money may not be much, but for Squala, it is an enormous annual salary that he would never dare to dream of.

So Kevin signed him to an initial five-year contract.

The contract stipulates that if Squala performs well and improves his skills during these five years, his salary will be further increased after five years.

Next up is Daznuer.

Daznuer was, after all, a Professional Hunter, and quite successful in the bodyguard profession.

His work involves the entire security system, and he handles both low-level thugs and ordinary people with ease.

He knows how to allocate manpower, recruit suitable personnel, build a complete security system, and can even flexibly plan and arrange protection tasks at any time according to the various itineraries of the protected individuals.

These all fully demonstrate his professional competence.

However, in terms of his own strength, he is not particularly outstanding.

In light of this, Kevin also signed a contract with Daznuer.

However, unlike Squala, Daznuer's Nen ability did not have the same obvious functional significance for Kevin and Squala group.

Therefore, Kevin signed him to a two-year contract with an annual salary of approximately 200 million.

For Daznuer, this is a fairly reasonable price.

In addition, Kevin promised to provide guidance and training to Daznuer's Nen ability over the next two years.

If Daznuer's personal abilities improve, his salary will definitely increase accordingly when he renews his contract.

Kevin recruited him with the intention of having a Nen user to protect Light.

For Nen user like Daznuer who possesses considerable combat abilities, assassination attempts by ordinary people can be largely ruled out.

However, if you encounter an assassination attempt by Nen user, then it depends on the strength of the assassin.

It's like if the Zoldyck Family came to assassinate Light; even Kevin, let alone Daznuer, couldn't guarantee he could protect him.

After all, the other party was a professional assassin, and Kevin couldn't possibly protect Light in every way at all times.

And so, two new Nen user joined Nosra Manor.

Daznuer quickly took over the security system within the Manor and began to reorganize and restructure the entire system.

It must be said that, compared to the previous security personnel who performed only so-so, the security system he arranged was indeed much more complete.

That day, Kevin arrived at the Training Ground for training as usual.

Surprisingly, he discovered that Men Qi and Buhaci were also training at the Training Ground.

To be honest, Kevin rarely sees Men Qi and Xiahara undergoing specialized strength training; they are more of a practical fighter.

"You guys are actually exercising?" Kevin walked up to him and asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Men Qi rolled her eyes.

"What's the big deal? We also need to improve our military capabilities to ensure our own safety."

"You all work so hard, I feel guilty for letting us rest."

Xiahara chuckled and said from the side,

This is no joke.

Kevin, needless to say, although he doesn't specifically engage in high-intensity training in basic physical aspects, still focuses on training his flexibility, agility, and balance.

He has good basic qualities, but he still needs to improve in other areas through training.

Of course, he focused more on developing his Nen Aura abilities. Although he didn't train with Nen Aura many times a month, he always had medication to help him, so his progress was remarkable.

His main goal was to raise his Nen level to the standard level as quickly as possible in order to create new potions.

In the eyes of Men Qi and Xiahara, Kevin had already tried his best.

Because Kevin was either engrossed in reading books and researching pharmaceuticals, or he was doing various kinds of exercise.

Needless to say, Kurapika and Pairo were practically "Juan Wang" in Men Qi's eyes.

They train diligently every day and occasionally use supplements to enhance their skills.

Not only that, the two would also spar with each other to hone their skills, and even frequently sought out Men Qi and Xiahara for practical training.

To be honest, even without using Nen ability, these two little guys are quite difficult to deal with.

Moreover, as time goes by, it is clear that they are constantly growing, which is truly amazing.

This feeling of being chased gave Men Qi and Xiahara a sense of urgency.

It's one thing to be unable to beat Kevin, but to be unable to beat even two kids is truly shameful.

"I really don't understand, why does everyone here seem like Martial Faction?"

Men Qi said helplessly, then rolled her eyes.

Even Rosana does basic training to gain more Nen.

Kevin just smiled and sat down next to him.

Recently, through his contact with Squala and Daznuer, Kevin has made some new discoveries.

Squala's strength is shockingly weak; he is arguably among the weakest Nen user.

As a Professional Hunter, Daznuer's strength is also limited.

To be honest, Daznuer was one of the weaker Professional Hunter Kevin had ever seen.

However, after talking with Men Qi, Kevin was surprised to find that Daznuer's strength was actually only average in the entire Professional Hunter circle.

This discovery made Kevin think.

Thinking about it carefully, that's indeed the case.

The Professional Hunter Kevin has encountered so far are no ordinary people.

If you really think about it, they might be among the very best.

They are either Twelve Zodiacs, a disciple of Twelve Zodiacs, or Nen user can act alongside them.

He then realized that these Nen user seemed to generally lack a strong desire for power.

They are called Hunter x Hunter because they each have various goals, most of which are not directly related to strength; strength is merely a means of defense for them.

Many Hunter x Hunter have no connection to the Martial Faction and are not even enthusiastic about fighting.

Although this world has its flaws, it must be acknowledged that it is a modern society.

Nen user are an extremely small minority in the population.

For these Nen user, in a society dominated by ordinary people, they are already like superhumans.

Most Nen user may never encounter many other Nen user in their entire lives, let alone fight them.

Therefore, they lack the motivation to strengthen their capabilities.

Modern society is ultimately stable, and the Nen user living in it are almost all in a state of peace.

Moreover, if one has no interest or desire for combat, then the motivation to increase one's strength is even more pitiful.

For them, Nen ability, while novel, were not difficult to understand.

The basic physical condition of people in this world is generally higher than that of people in their previous world.

Although people rarely witness superpowers in daily life, the existence of Nen user and the continuous stream of related legends have made it a common occurrence.

When people see strange Nen ability displayed, they are often only surprised for a moment, and then they accept the premise.

For them, Nen ability are not unusual, nor are they enough to make them fanatical about them.

This is what makes Kevin different from them: he comes from a real world, one without supernatural abilities, where even physical attributes are quite ordinary.

Unlike this world, where a little training can bring you to the level of those top athletes you once were in the world.

Only now did Kevin finally understand what Biscuit had said earlier.

He has one advantage: he has a great fondness and passion for Nen ability.

At the time, he didn't understand why this could be considered an advantage; after all, who wouldn't want extraordinary power?

Now he truly understands that this is indeed an advantage.

In addition, Kevin himself is a time traveler, and he lacks a fundamental sense of security in this world.

The country he once lived in, along with the entertainment he had watched, shaped his beliefs.

Even if you don't like fighting, you must master power.

"You don't have to be fond of martial arts, but you can't be ignorant of martial arts."

This makes him, even if he can't be considered a pure Martial Faction, never resist the pursuit of power, and is even extremely enthusiastic about it.

This is what sets him apart from others.

"You guys don't really train much, do you? Your skills just grow naturally during work?" Kevin asked suddenly, sitting next to him.

Hearing this, Men Qi nodded while continuing her training.

"Exercise is so boring, I consider myself a practical type."

After all, Men Qi and Xiahara often carry out missions in the wild, have many opportunities to use their Nen ability, and frequently encounter battles.

Various Nen ability and techniques are needed to assist in the action.

In such practical combat, Nen ability will naturally and gradually improve.

The growth of most Nen user's strength follows this pattern.

Due to factors such as talent and physique, those who diligently train to improve their Nen ability often stand out from the crowd.

Generally speaking, only those who enhance their Nen abilities tend to improve their strength through training, because doing so truly benefits them greatly.

How many Nen user do you think there are in the entire human world?

Kevin suddenly threw out another question.

That's not a good question to answer.

Men Qi said with some doubt.

Buhaci did give it some serious thought.

"The Hunter Association has six hundred Hunter x Hunter, and each country has its own Nen ability units. Add to that the Amateur Hunter hidden around the world, and the total number is definitely not small."

"But I don't think the number will exceed ten thousand, it might even be less than five thousand."

Kevin nodded slightly.

This number may sound like a lot, but when considered within the vast human population, it is negligible.

Just then, Men Qi's gaze fell on Kevin's waist, and she keenly sensed something amiss.

"You're not here to test some new drug, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Kevin smiled slightly, took out two vials from his potion pack, and waved them in his hand.

"That's right."

Kevin's potions can be identified by the liquid inside.

One of the potions was silver, with faint black pigment flowing up and down in the middle. The other potion was pure blood red, and the entire liquid seemed to be swaying slightly.

The first potion was made after Kevin's Nen level exceeded 30,000. It was a B-Rank potion, and its main ingredient was Dragon Tongue.

The second potion was the second type of dragon potion he had concocted during his spare time from training. Although this potion only reached the top level of C-Rank, its effects were remarkable.

The pharmaceutical formula shows:

[Gold Name: Dragon Heart (Dried - 100g)]

[Silver Scale: Blood Vessel (whole piece - 150 grams)]

[Copper Scale: Dragon Blood (Liquid - 50g)]

[Effect: During the use of this potion, it strengthens the user's heart, accelerates heart pumping, and promotes blood flow.]

Although it's only a top-tier C-Rank potion, its effects are undoubtedly quite remarkable.

Kevin mainly wanted to see if this kind of ability stimulation could be memorized by the body.

If that doesn't work, use it as a regular enhancement drug; if it does work, then you'll gain another unique ability.

Moreover, there is no doubt that the potion's effects are Enhancement Type, perfectly suited to Kevin's needs.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Kevin noticed that almost all the abilities granted through the potions were either Enhancement Type or extensions of Enhancement Type.

Perhaps it's because the existence of medicine, in its essence, is also a form of enhancement.

But that doesn't matter, as long as it suits you.

"It is indeed a new drug, but due to the nature of the raw materials, it may not be available for sale."

The first potion made primarily of Dragon Tongue is virtually impossible to sell to outsiders.

The second potion is more likely to be sold to outsiders because Kevin discovered that its main ingredient can be replaced.

This potion can be made as long as a strong heart is used as the material.

This means that while obtaining the heart of a powerful creature is not easy, powerful creatures are not exactly rare in this world.

Therefore, it is not "unique".

Men Qi pouted.

She then vacated the Training Ground and went to the rest area next door to observe carefully.

After making room, Kevin began to relax his body and quickly got into the zone.

He first relaxed and meditated, then injected himself with a drug.

As the silvery liquid slowly flowed into the body, the medicine quickly took effect.

Kevin carefully observed the changes in his body.

This change was very gentle, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth. Kevin regained control of his previously relaxed Nen Aura, which now swirled around his body.

I'm getting the hang of it.

Kevin bounced up and down twice, then lunged to the left, swerved sharply to the right, and then braked suddenly.

In the [Entangled] state, with Nen Aura enveloping the body, it seems that the speed has indeed increased?

What if we use even more Nen Aura to strengthen it?

A surge of Nen Aura began to flow into his legs, and Kevin pushed off forcefully.

"Call out!"

The speed was so fast that it created a gust of wind that blew to the side.

Men Qi, who had been watching Kevin intently, was so surprised that she stood up abruptly, frowning as she tried to see what had happened.

Although the eyes can see it, the body's reaction speed is far behind.

To be precise, they simply couldn't react in time.

Kevin slammed on the brakes, leaving a long trail on the ground. This was a mark left by excessive speed.

Moreover, the marks are very straight.

I see. This potion can enhance speed, but like the attacks of dragons and snakes, it can only be used for straightforward actions.

The speed is enhanced by enveloping the legs in Nen Aura, but this enhanced speed can only be used when running in a straight line.

Kevin then focused his Nen Aura into his fists and thrust them forward rapidly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The punches were incredibly fast, shattering the silence of the air and producing a whooshing sound. In the blink of an eye, a sky full of fist shadows appeared before one's eyes.

Because of the speed of his punches, it seemed as if large and small fist phantoms appeared in the air, as if Kevin had suddenly grown many hands.

Sure enough, any thrusting motion was greatly amplified.

This means that as long as Kevin imitates the attack pattern of the Dragon Tongue when using this power, he can obtain the most perfect enhancement effect.

The jab just now is the best proof of that.

"It feels a bit like Xingyi Quan)," Kevin couldn't help but complain.

He froze as soon as he said it.

"Form and Intent... Form and Intent... Could it be—"

His mind was suddenly opened up.

Yeah, how come he never realized that?

The materials used in pharmaceuticals are mostly biological materials, especially the main materials, which come from a wide variety of organisms.

These parts, which can become the main ingredients, are the essence that these organisms have preserved during their long evolution in nature.

It represents the fruits of their struggle against nature.

While it may be somewhat mystical to say that these materials retain the will of living beings, it is absolutely true that they preserve a condensed microcosm of this species' struggle against nature.

Nen Aura) is a very abstract concept. Will, soul, thought, and body can all be seen as the source of ki (vital energy) and ni (thought).

Kevin's Nen ability is essentially about condensing and fusing these materials to create medicine, which is actually a product of ki.

If that's the case--

Kevin suddenly assumed a strange posture and lunged forward.

His right arm was held out in front of him in a thrusting motion, and his whole body resembled Dragon Tongue suddenly shooting out, while his arm itself was like Dragon Tongue that had sprung out.

"I can't see clearly!"

Men Qi, who had been watching from the sidelines, stared wide-eyed as Kevin's figure vanished from her sight in an instant.

This wasn't a fight with Kevin; it was simply watching from the sidelines, from an observer's perspective. But even so,

In this state, she completely lost sight of Kevin.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion.

Kevin instantly appeared in the sandbag area dozens of meters away.

There were several sandbags and human-shaped targets placed there, and Kevin's hand had successfully pierced through the giant sandbag in front of him.

His hands were completely inside the sandbag, and a round hole appeared on the back of the sandbag, from which sand was slowly flowing out.

Behind the sandbag, a round hole was also punched into the head of the humanoid dummy, the opening of which was so smooth that it looked as if it had been carefully cut.

Keep in mind, this is a mannequin made of metal.

Through this experiment, Kevin demonstrated astonishing speed, immense strength, and terrifying penetrating power.
