A Hundred Thousand X Everyone's Target

A barren wasteland of gravel, resembling the Gobi Desert.

At the top of the cylindrical stone slope, Melusina sat on the edge, casually swinging her legs.

He held a book in one hand and a bone fragment with black lines in the other—the [Learning Bone Fragment] that could be used to accelerate learning.

The books in her hands were entirely of the esoteric academic type, intended for studying [God Text].

Melusina showed great curiosity about this peculiar script written with thought.

Especially after entering the game, both Kevin and Melusina realized the potential revealed by the fusion of the God Text, Succession Ceremony, and deep Nen ability.

The hidden knowledge written in the Notebook also requires sufficient basic knowledge and skills to reproduce and learn.

Below Melusina, Kevin was unleashing his full power, venting his emotions on the spot.

Without the use of drugs, most Nen user through brute force:

That is to continuously consume Qi through [training] until all the Qi in the body is used up, and then rest.

After resting, the Qi in the body will increase. By repeating this process and continuing to train, the Qi in the body will slowly and steadily increase.

This is a long and extremely tedious process, but it is also the basic process for Nen user to become powerful.

Basic training is always tedious and monotonous, Heart Training.

After Kevin uses the drug, his Nen output will far exceed his original Nen level, and it will be a continuous and unrestricted burst.

Because the potion would be continuously supplied, Kevin could use it without restraint.

This continuous burst of energy is equivalent to Kevin constantly depleting his own strength.

The body will try its best to remember, and this abstract memory will make the body remember and think that the amount of thought is increasing, thus achieving the effect of training.

Once the effects of the drug wear off, the memories formed during that half hour will become the actual results of the training, and the most basic mental capacity will increase.

This is the effect of combining two Nen ability, much like a person using two legs to run.

Kevin was just about to expel the gas when he suddenly stopped; the effects of the drug hadn't stopped.

Melusina sensed this change, closed the book, and shifted her gaze downwards.

Seeing that Kevin was not moving, she jumped down from the cylindrical flat top and approached Kevin. At this moment, Kevin seemed to be contemplating something and closed his eyes. He only opened his eyes after Melusina got close.

"Have you met the standard?" Melusina asked.

Kevin's training during this period has been focused on one goal: to achieve a data volume of 100,000 through his own quantitative observation standards and data quantification.

Kevin let out a breath, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, it should have exceeded 100,000. Just a moment ago, my body's sensitivity to the drug decreased."

Just like when Kevin first created this potion, it will only have an effect up to his 100,000 Nen level.

Once his base Nen level exceeds a certain threshold, the boost this potion provides will, like the previous [Power Potion], begin to wane.

And that was indeed the case; Kevin had to start adapting to a period of slow, steady growth in his Nen.

That is, until he finds the next batch of materials that can rapidly increase Nen and makes them into a potion.

However, it is foreseeable that in that case, it must be an A-Rank potion, and the only A-Rank material he currently has is material obtained from a creature cub from the Dark Continent.

In other words, this bottleneck might hold for much longer than Kevin imagined.

"The days that followed were going to be tough."

As the effects of the drug slowly wore off, Kevin was finally able to accurately perceive the changes his body underwent after crossing another threshold.

He was born with an almost supernatural ability to control his own Nen Aura.

However, when using the [Surging Potion], his qi becomes less easy to control.

In other words, even while using the drug, he was still able to train himself to precisely control his Nen Aura.

Although it's very subtle.

But at his level, every improvement in control is a difficult step forward.

In addition, he frequently engages in extremely subtle mental manipulation, and the changes he has gained in this area, which have been very slow, are his current deep observation and mastery of his own body.

"So that's how it is. Is it because of this body?"

Kevin suddenly understood. He had been training with [Digestion Potion] for a long time, pushing his basic physical strength to its limit.

However, the process was too rapid for him to fully grasp its reality.

Now, upon closer inspection of the body, the differences become apparent.

His physical potential is not high. Although the differences between people may not be that great, under such extreme conditions, the gap between the two is enormous.

Given the same physical limits, a pure Enhancement Type is undoubtedly the strongest.

Kevin's body was once a [Specialization Type], and a very obvious scholar-type with a weak constitution.

Kevin's transmigrated soul was Enhancement Type, which slightly made up for some of his physical deficiencies, but his innate abilities were much weaker than those of highly talented Enhancement Type. No wonder he reached his limit so easily.

"Are you going out now?" Melusina asked from the side.

Upon hearing this, Kevin pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need, it's the same here and outside." Essentially, they're both part of the real world; there won't be much difference.

He decided to begin strengthening his Nen ability right here; he already had a feel for it.

He had been preparing for this for a long time.

Seeing Kevin make his decision, Melusina nodded and drew a card.

A Camping Kit appeared right in front of them, and four Maid Nen Beast appeared and began operating it.

Kevin sat down next to him and closed his eyes.

"Yay! We did it! I unlocked the [God Eye]!"

Nion, who was opening a pack of Spell Card, waved the cards in her hand back and forth.

Pairo and Kurapika breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily.

To be honest, they've had a pretty tough time lately.

The main reason is that their collection of Specified Card is progressing steadily, and they have now reached eighty-eight cards.

What does this mean?

When asked about their rankings at the Exchange Office, they were undoubtedly number one, and by a wide margin.

The second and third place winners collected less than seventy cards in total.

They had twenty more tickets than the third-place team and nineteen more than the second-place team; the gap was already too large.

This led to a problem: everyone started targeting them.

Most players will choose the [Exclusive Card] first.

Among the Specified Card, there are many S-Rank or SS-Rank cards with extremely limited quantities, with the fewest being only three.

By holding all three cards in your hand, you can prevent Kurapika and his friends from clearing the stage.

The problem is that Kurapika and his friends' collecting journey is much faster than others, who simply don't have time to collect Exclusive Card.

Furthermore, the selection of Exclusive Card is limited, and SS-Rank cards are rare, each one being difficult to obtain.

Now, the only way for everyone to stop Kurapika and his friends from completing their collection is with three cards:

[001- One Tsubo Jungle -SS-3]

[002- One Tsubo Coastline -SS-3]

[0017- Breath of the Archangel -SS-3]

These three cards are the rarest and highest-ranking cards, and no one owns them to this day.

The specific target is [Breath of the Archangel], which can be obtained by collecting all forty Spell Card.

The second problem is that the appearance of Kurapika and others has intensified the competition for cards.

Murders began to occur frequently, and the "Bomb Demon" became increasingly rampant.

Many teams have begun to cooperate with each other, except for the top three teams which are still maintaining their independent stance.

The teams behind almost all started to cooperate extensively, at least trying to find a way to block the people in front.

In addition, a large number of teams have begun to give up on the game.

The fundamental reason is that Zetzela began negotiating with the teams that had originally been recruited by Batler.

However, just as they had initially encountered, the teams willing to withdraw were themselves those ranked lower and who hadn't collected many cards.

None of the teams with more than fifty players were willing to withdraw; the sunk costs were too high.

Most of them have spent one or two years or more in this game, investing a lot of time and effort.

Even without Batler's 50 billion, they could still earn a very high amount of money if they took the card out.

Especially after they learned about the value that certain cards could gain once they were taken out, they were even less likely to back out.

Although it's not 50 billion, selling all three cards could still yield several tens of billions.

Only the large teams disbanded. With the sudden rise of Kurapika and his group, many small teams had to cooperate, but the purpose of cooperation was only to obtain Exclusive Card to prevent them from clearing the game.

Kurapika's joy at seeing Nion draw the last Spell Card was genuine.

If he still can't get the answer, he'll have to gamble with the [Risk Dice].

"Quick, quick, let's go change."

They quickly exchanged four thousand cards for it.

Looking at the card in my hand:

[017-The Scent of the Angel -SS-3]

[Heals even the most critically injured and terminally ill patients with a single breath. But he can only appear once.]

"Use copy to make two copies."

Using pre-prepared Copy Card, they instantly duplicated two cards to reserve the space.

In this way, they monopolized the card, and instead of others having the card to themselves, they ended up having it all to themselves.

"Haha, we've taken the lead again!"

Nion extended her hand and gave the two of them a light tap from a distance.

Putting everything else aside, the three of them have seen their teamwork and bond grow significantly during this gaming trip.

"It's too unsafe for us to have all three cards on us. I'd better give this real card to Uncle Kevin, that way we'll still have a way out."

Upon hearing Kurapika's suggestion, the two nodded without hesitation.

The three of them took out the [Magnetism] item directly from the book and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness camp, Kevin was feasting.

A large amount of food was laid out on the table, Four Maids -type Nen Beast were serving it.

Melusina was holding her chin in her hands, watching Kevin eat, her face full of smiles.

"How is it? Delicious, isn't it?"

"Delicious, so delicious!"

Kevin mumbled, continuing to replenish his body's energy.

He wasn't just flattering her; Melusina's cooking skills were indeed quite good.

Furthermore, it's important to know that these Four Maids -type Nen Beast are imitations of the Four Maids who were once Melusina's friends. The "maid" part is simply a form of cosplay between them. Moreover, each of them is a resident of the [Food Village], and each has their own unique skills, so their culinary abilities are definitely guaranteed.

After a long while, Kevin finished the last bite of the food on the table, let out a comfortable sigh, and leaned back in his chair.

I'm full.

Melusina leaned closer and tenderly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Kevin reached out and grasped Melusina's hands. The two looked at each other, Melusina leaned into Kevin's arms.

Just as the two were deeply in love, three beams of light fell from the sky.

Looking at the three beams of light, Kevin couldn't help but roll his eyes; they arrived pretty punctually.

The three beams of light descended, revealing Kurapika and his two companions who had flown over. Judging from their expressions, it was clear they had encountered some joyous occasion and had rushed over in a hurry.

Nion threw herself into Melusina's arms.

"Sister Melusina!"

Melusina hugged her and reached out to pat her head.

She watched as Nion opened the spellbook and handed her a card.

"Here, this is Gift for you."

Melusina picked up the card, examined it, smiled, and put it into her magic book.

Kevin tilted his head to look at it, then curled his lip in disdain.

"Returning the Gift? Isn't that just making us share the firepower with you?"

There are only three SS Cards in total, and this particular card is a clear indication that the three of them completed their collection of Spell Card.

If it were him, he would definitely use copying to gain exclusive control.

"Is this a real card?"

Kurapika nodded sheepishly.

How many do you have now?

Eighty-nine sheets.

Hearing this, Kevin grinned smugly and said cheekily, "Then you guys must be having a tough time, living in constant fear, with people harassing you every day."

Even Pairo couldn't help but sigh and nod slightly. Indeed, they were harassed every day; people would use Magnetism to fly to their side, trying to steal various cards from them.

If you can't grab it, just run. And those who come to snatch it from you face-to-face won't be weak. Although you might not be able to beat them, running away shouldn't be a problem, especially when using cards.

Such harassment is somewhat annoying, but it seems to be a persistent problem.

"Alright, then leave this card with us and continue your progress."

The further you go, the faster you need to go, and the more vigilant and attentive you need to be. At this point, you'll be the target of everyone's attention; many people are watching you.

Kurapika and the other nodded vigorously; they had already experienced it.

It was a busy time, so the three handed the cards to the two others, chatted for a while, and then used the [Accompany] function.

Disappeared.

"They interrupted me, and I completely forgot. How are you? Have you finished enhancing your Nen ability?"

Upon hearing Melusina's question, Kevin gave a thumbs-up and said smugly, "Of course, no problem! I'm all prepared. It'll be a piece of cake!"

Of course, that's definitely bragging.

Things weren't as easy as he thought. Modifying Nen ability was difficult, but stacking boxes was relatively easy.

As one's strength increases, Nen ability will indeed become stronger. If one does not set up a gap for improvement in one's Nen ability from the beginning, it will be more troublesome to build up the gaps later, and one will have to spend a lot of time making certain modifications.

Fortunately, Kevin's Nen ability have always been relatively simple, especially [Blank Meteor], which can be described as a perfect example of simplicity, directness, and effective combination.

[Moment's Dream] wasn't Nen ability he created himself, but Hao Sui had figured out how to stack the boxes, so although there were some difficulties, he didn't get stuck and has now completed the upgrade.
