Searching for the Game X Standing

Kevin looked at the last vial of medicine in his hand.

After resting for a while, it was quite some time before I tied it to my leg.

[Whipper Potion] is slowly injected into the body.

Amidst the ruins of this mountain forest, Kevin closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes brought about by the potion.

As the medicine began to take effect, Kevin opened his eyes and looked at the Nen Aura in his hand.

The Nen Aura surged and converged, gradually transforming into the shape of a long, soft whip in Kevin's hand.

He suddenly swung his hand towards the distance.

Silently, the soft whip lashed against the tree trunk.

The force of the swing carved a dent into the tree trunk.

Kevin swung it a few more times and found that the potion simply turned his Nen Aura into a flexible rope shape, without any additional effects on swinging or other movements.

The only difference is that it is made of Nen Aura, Kevin can apply the [Hidden] state to it if necessary.

Moreover, this is formed from Nen Aura), not a materialized object.

Kevin experimented for a long time until the effects of the drug wore off, and then he had some insights.

Although this potion is classified as B-Rank, it is essentially easy to learn; it simply makes one's qi thin, long, and flexible like a rope.

It can be considered an additional combat tactic.

Compared to the previous two medications, its effects were indeed much less pronounced, but Kevin didn't mind.

There are now three different potions that I need to learn how to use, so I'll have to spend a lot of time studying them.

That day, Kevin, who had just returned from Training Ground and was sitting on the living room sofa drinking tea and reading a book, saw Light walking towards him.

Light sat down opposite him, took a sip of tea, and said, "Right now, all the Greed Island Game Console on the market have been bought up by a wealthy man."

"A tycoon?" Kevin asked curiously, taking a sip of tea.

Light nodded, crossed his arms, and sat with a slight bend at the waist.

"Batler, a true super-rich man, whose group is involved in various industries and has invested in many fields, is one of the world's top billionaires, with liquid assets reaching hundreds of billions."

After hearing Light's words, Kevin couldn't help but put down the book he was holding.

Everything else was fine, but when Kevin heard that the company's working capital could reach hundreds of billions, he was truly taken aback.

Although the ranking of the wealthy is often based on assets, if you ask these wealthy individuals to come up with liquid funds, even one-tenth of their assets would be considered quite impressive.

Having hundreds of billions in liquid funds is terrifying; it's something that Red Stone Pharmaceuticals currently can't even dream of.

Red Stone Pharmaceuticals currently has a promising future. In addition to the previously available Little Blue Medicine, Kevin has also provided several other cosmetic and skin care products, as well as medications for removing body blemishes and eliminating scars.

Even so, there is still a huge gap compared to the other side.

With the company's current assets, it would take more than half a month or even a month to raise 10 billion yuan in working capital, and it would also seriously affect the company's normal operation.

After all, the company has only been established for a year, and its development is still limited.

Even looking to the future, it would be difficult to achieve the same level of success as this tycoon if one focused solely on the medical industry.

Kevin pondered as he continued listening to Light's story.

"He has been acquiring the game for a long time at a high price of 17 billion per copy. It can be said that the high price of this game in recent years is basically due to his efforts."

But it's clear that with his assets, he doesn't need hype; he's genuinely and continuously acquiring consoles, which is why there are fewer and fewer Game Console consoles on the market.

He also Emission he would pay a reward of 50 billion to anyone who could provide a save file that allowed him to complete the game.

As the two were talking, Nion's voice came from the second-floor corridor.

"Dad!"

Hearing her daughter's voice, Light looked up and smiled.

After the company got on track that year, Light became very busy, and the time he spent with and communicating with his daughter gradually decreased.

In the past, Nion would have been dissatisfied long ago, but now there are many people in the Manor.

With Kurapika by her side, she also has a like-minded older sister like Melusina.

Rosana also gave Nion the maternal love she had lacked, and this year and a half can be said to be the happiest time since Nion was born.

Nion called out and ran downstairs, throwing herself into Light's arms.

Kurapika followed behind.

Melusina smiled and waved to Kevin, then sat down next to him and snuggled up to him.

"What are you talking about?" Nion asked curiously.

She wouldn't come over at this time if there were outsiders present, but everyone here is family.

"Let's talk about games."

"Games?" Nion was puzzled; she didn't think her father was the type to enjoy playing games.

As for Kevin, Nion disliked playing games with him the most.

Because Kevin never gave in to her.

If there are wins and losses, she will still be full of fighting spirit, but if she keeps losing, she will lose interest.

If we play the game together, Kevin will steal her items, which is so annoying!

"Remember when someone sent you a game memory card and a usable ring from Greed Island?"

Kurapika suddenly realized what had happened.

"I even looked up relevant information before."

After chatting with his daughter for a few minutes, Light continued, "This Batler is extremely focused on completing this game."

"He bought so many games, he definitely didn't buy them for himself, right?"

Judging from his appearance, he must have hired quite a few Nen user or Professional Hunter.

What are the rewards for completing this game?

With such a huge investment in both purchasing and playing, the rewards for completing the game must be incredibly tempting to attract players.

Otherwise, if it were just for fun, this situation wouldn't have arisen.

Light didn't know much about this, since most of the relevant information was related to the Hunter x Hunter.

Hearing this, Kurapika said from the side, "It's said to be a card collecting game where, after completing the game, you can select three cards to use in the real world."

"Oh!"

Kevin immediately became interested.

As expected, the game designed under Kim's leadership is not so simple.

"In other words, this wealthy man named Batler had a strong need for a certain card, which is why he was willing to pay such a high price."

Kurapika nodded. He didn't know much about Batler, but he had heard of the game.

If, as Uncle Light claims, so much money and effort are being spent to get someone to complete the game, then the goal is clearly a card that can be used to exit the game.

At this point, Light said, "Based on the information I have so far, I suspect he might be trying to bring some kind of healing item out of the game."

Hearing this, Kevin smiled and asked, "Is he terminally ill himself, or does he have a close relative who is sick?"

Light shook his head regretfully. "I don't know exactly who it is. He's not married yet, at most he might have an illegitimate child..."

At this point, Light helplessly spread his hands, clearly indicating that for the wealthy, illegitimate children didn't carry much weight.

"Not married yet? Interesting."

Light continued, "All I know is that a long time ago, Batler had been inquiring about relevant information everywhere, from major hospitals to even powerful Nen user."

He invested countless resources in this, but clearly did not achieve satisfactory results.

Terminal illness?

Clearly, this Batler is all he has left is money, but for some capable Hunter x Hunter, money might not be enough to sway them.

Even a wealthy man like him might not be able to find effective channels.

"So, you mean you want to make contact and see if I can use my abilities to help him?"

Light nodded; that was exactly what he meant.

Of course, the specifics can only be determined after further investigation.

The company had only been established for a year. Although Light had expanded his network with the help of Kevin's drugs, his development was relatively restrained.

Aside from the small circle of contacts Light needed, others might not know about their situation.

"Hmm... okay, let's give it a try."

This was originally part of the development strategy we had set out beforehand, so there was nothing to hesitate about.

Moreover, given Batler's eagerness, if he can truly provide crucial assistance, the company's future development will be much less of a concern.

Light nodded; he also felt this was a rare opportunity.

If it weren't for gathering this information for Kevin, he might not have known any of this.

Who knows, it might be years from now when we find out.

This is indeed a rare opportunity, and it aligns perfectly with the company's business expertise.

Kevin took out his Hunter License and handed it to Kurapika.

"Kurapika, go check out some information. I'm getting more and more interested in this game."

Kurapika nodded; he was interested in anything related to Nen ability.

Nion quickly grabbed his hand and left with him.

This made Light, who had finally found an opportunity to spend time with her daughter, sigh helplessly.

"Sigh, I'm so anxious and indecisive."

Because of his busy schedule and his desire for power, Light worried that he wasn't taking good enough care of his daughter.

Now that his daughter has someone to take care of her, he feels that she has become estranged from him and has almost forgotten about him as her father.

"Haha, you should rest here."

Seeing this, Kevin smiled, patted Light on the shoulder, and then left with Melusina.

The two made their way to the Infirmary.

Kevin picked up Melusina and gently placed her on the medical bed.

Because of the cold weather, Melusina was wearing a thick coat and large cotton slippers.

At the Manor, everyone dressed casually, a trend brought by Kevin.

Kevin helped Melusina take off her heavy coat and slippers.

"Um?"

Looking at the legs clad in white stockings in front of him, Kevin couldn't help but look up at Melusina's face.

At this moment, Melusina turned her head away, not daring to look Kevin in the eye.

This was clearly something she prepared on purpose.

Kevin's lips curled into a slight smile as he withdrew his gaze and began to carefully admire the "jade artifact" before him.

He gently reached out and stroked it.

The touch is exquisite, delicate, and smooth.

Although these legs have never been used, their shape remains perfectly preserved.

Alright, there'll be plenty of time to appreciate it later. Let's get down to business first.

Kevin slowly channeled his Nen Aura into Melusina's legs.

Have you been trying to regain control of your legs lately?

Melusina nodded. As the treatment progressed, she was gradually able to control her legs.

For example, I can now control my feet and toes, but I still can't exert any strength above my calves.

The surge and activity of her own Nen Aura accelerated the return of the residual Nen Aura in her legs, gradually restoring her control over them.

"I have good news for you. After this treatment, your legs will be back to normal."

"Really? Yeah!"

Melusina shouted excitedly, Kevin's Nen Aura began to take effect, and the sudden stimulation made her cry out involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, Melusina's legs began to shake uncontrollably.

The last bit of Nen Aura that had been hindering recovery was successfully restored under Kevin's guidance, and Melusina's Nen Aura overall stabilized.

At that moment, her legs swung uncontrollably, and she accidentally stepped directly on Kevin's face, slapping him several times.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I couldn't control myself!"

Melusina cried out in alarm.

Kevin smiled, seemingly unconcerned. "It's alright, I don't object to this kind of thing."

These words reminded Melusina of something, her face flushed slightly, and she glared at Kevin.

"Abnormal."

"This is just a normal preference, how can it be considered perverted?"

Kevin chuckled as he picked up Melusina, then said seriously, "Time to get down. Are you ready?"

Melusina pursed her lips tightly and clung to Kevin's neck with both hands.

Her legs swayed unconsciously.

She had never had such control over her legs before; it was a completely new experience for her.

As her toes, wrapped in white silk, touched the ground, it was as if she had hit cold water. Melusina's instep immediately straightened, her toes clenched tightly, and Wen pulled her leg back.

"I... I'm a little nervous."

Kevin smiled gently and gave Melusina a light kiss on the cheek.

"It's okay, take your time, no need to rush."

"Um."

After a while, Melusina slowly placed her legs on the floor, her feet firmly planted on the ground.

Melusina's entire body was tense, like a stone statue, her eyes fixed nervously on her legs, occasionally glancing at Kevin.

Take it slow, get your footing first.

Kevin slowly released his grip on Melusina, instead taking her hands in his own, and then slowly backed away.

Melusina stood up shakily.

"I... I can stand up? I can stand up!"

Melusina's face flushed with excitement, and her eyes glistened with tears.

"That's right, that's it. Don't rush, take your time."

Finally, Melusina released Kevin's hand and stood there alone. She was so tense that her body was stiff as a kangaroo, and she swayed slightly as she stood there.

As she tried to take a step forward, she fell forward, and Kevin quickly reached out to catch her.

"I've never walked before, it feels so strange, I can't quite control my body."

But at this moment, Melusina's tension had subsided, leaving only excitement.

For the first time in over a decade, she felt her legs were able to support her body and stand, and even took a step, though she wasn't steady. But it was enough to make her ecstatic.

"Don't rush, you're like a child just learning to walk, I'll support you."

And so, like a baby learning to walk, with Kevin's help, Melusina slowly took steps forward.

But Melusina is not an infant or a child; she is an adult and a Nen user.

After walking slowly for a short while, she was able to walk steadily with Kevin's help.

After Kevin let go of her hands, she began to walk unsteadily on her own, her steps slow and each one very unsteady.

But she did it in the end.

"I can walk by myself now, that's great!"

Melusina was thrilled. She stretched out her hands to maintain her balance and walked back and forth carefully, like walking a tightrope.

Her steps were still somewhat unsteady.

But this is perfect enough.

With gradual training, one can eventually reach the walking level of a normal person.

With Melusina's powerful learning ability and her Nen user, this was not difficult for her; it would only take her a day or two.

This disabled girl, who had never experienced walking normally, was able to become a normal person with free movement.
