Regarding the seedlings and seeds that Kevin wanted her to cultivate.

Koto was surprised.

Because she had never seen the seeds and seedlings that Kevin provided before, although she could infer the plants that might be similar to them from the shape, texture and feel of the seeds.

But ultimately, there are differences.

In other words, what Kevin provided was all stuff she had never seen before.

She wasn't surprised that there were countless plants and seeds she had never seen before.

It's worth noting that thousands upon thousands of new plant and animal species are discovered every year, so this isn't surprising.

But for a Plant Hunter, the Koto has its own experience and methods of identification.

Just like the plants she wanted to cultivate, the reason she needed Kevin's assistance and his custom-made medicine was because it was really difficult for human society to find an environment suitable for these plants to survive.

The nutrients that soil, sunlight, and water can provide are extremely limited; even if the Koto has prepared very fertile soil, it still won't be enough.

She knew perfectly well that the plant in her hand came from the Dark Continent.

However, she also shared the same view regarding what Kevin provided.

This confidence comes from her being Plant Hunter.

Koto's brain was working at lightning speed.

Kevin's disappearance a while ago -- could it be...?

A conjecture popped into her mind, and it was one of the most outrageous conjectures of all.

But based on the information she has now, such a conjecture should be highly accurate.

Once such a conjecture takes hold in her mind, she can then work backwards to find that the information she has gathered makes perfect sense.

In order to find Kevin and ascertain Kevin condition, it's important to know that many Hunter x Hunter have received similar requests.

This cannot be hidden from the Twelve Zodiacs.

The target that rendered all the Hunter x Hunter's Nen ability ineffective was the missing Kevin.

Koto felt that her guess was more than 50% likely.

Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more.

Instead, he accepted the plants and seedlings provided by Kevin, observed them carefully for a while, and then nodded.

"I can't determine the needs of these plants and seedlings, so I can only plan their growth environment after I've cultivated them for a while."

Kevin nodded upon hearing Koto's words.

He wasn't surprised by this.

He added, "There's no need to be so cautious; these plants and seedlings don't have high requirements for their environmental growth."

After all, this was something he had carefully selected and brought back.

Upon hearing this, Koto narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything more.

The two chatted casually for a while before starting their work.

Kevin thought to himself as he worked.

Judging from what just happened, Koto must have guessed some of the possibilities.

Kevin made no effort to conceal the fact that he had smuggled himself into the Dark Continent.

Because it's meaningless.

He didn't bring back any treasures this time, and the disaster he brought back has been brought under control.

In order to build his own team, it was necessary for him to disclose some information.

Just like he just did.

From the moment he took out those seeds and seedlings and asked Koto to help cultivate them, he never intended to hide it from her.

Moreover, this can also be used as bait.

It wasn't that Kevin was confident, but rather that the seeds and seedlings he had carefully selected were not merely materials he could use.

As a Plant Hunter, Kevin felt that Koto couldn't possibly be uninterested in the Dark Continent.

As long as your team is professional enough, has sufficient strength and logistics, and has perfect channels.

There is a high possibility that Koto was involved.

Time marches on in this working environment.

It didn't take much time; by noon the next day, after arranging for the condition of her patient, Qiduo returned to the Manor.

Kevin had already completed Koto's request.

Qiduo was somewhat surprised by Kevin's speed.

"How come the customized request was completed so quickly?"

She still remembers treating Pairo a few years ago; she and Kevin worked together for almost a month.

Kevin waved the two vials of medicine in his hand.

"Don't underestimate me. I'm still growing, and this customization wasn't difficult. The information and materials provided by Koto were very helpful."

Kevin wasn't just flattering him.

How detailed was the information provided by Koto?

What nutrients do these plants absorb? What substances can be used to produce these nutrients?

What substances can provide nutrients?

Everything was prepared perfectly.

Kevin only needs to pick and choose from these materials and combine them based on his experience.

It was done in less than two days.

[Green Plant Potion]

[Insect Repellent Potion]

Two C-class potion.

One is responsible for providing nutrients, and the other is responsible for protecting the plant.

Moreover, [Green Plant Potion] are highly compatible with most normal plants, except for some special plants.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see how effective it actually is.

After all, plant growth is indeed somewhat slow.

Koto took the two boxes of medicine, waved to the two men, and headed straight for the Back Mountain of the Manor.

She's incredibly impatient now.

"Now let's look at your medical records."

Faced with Kevin's decisive action, Qiduo nodded.

As a lawyer and doctor, a three-star Professional Hunter, Qiduo is also a decisive and highly efficient person.

In the Manor's medical room, they quickly got into the swing of things.

"The fact that you specifically sought out me to customize your medication suggests that this illness is quite complex, isn't it?"

Keep in mind that Qiduo is Three-star Hunter.

There are only a handful of Three-star Hunter in the entire human society, and each one is a well-known character.

Get these people to take it to heart and start looking for solutions.

This already demonstrates its uniqueness.

Qiduo nodded, but didn't elaborate.

She clearly still has a strong sense of professional ethics and cannot casually disclose her employer's information.

The information being given to Kevin now only concerns his illness and the employer's own health condition.

Kevin spent a long time looking at the documents.

I couldn't help but say.

"This isn't a normal illness, is it? Hmm—I mean, it looks like it's caused by..."

The problem lies in the patient's brain.

It's not a physical damage to the brain; the report describes a peculiar substance that severs the connection between the brain and the body.

This causes the patient to become vegetative.

This substance doesn't look like a normal lesion at all; it's more like a specific kind of poison.

Qiduo nodded.

"That's right, my employer was poisoned, and the poison entered my employer's body through Nen ability."

The problem is that the toxin is located in such a difficult location that even the medical techniques I can provide carry considerable risk in this situation.

Therefore, my employer wants a low-risk solution.

"Have you identified the toxin? Or do you have any detoxification plan?"

Qiduo nodded.

She had made thorough preparations, and the only reason she had Kevin customize the medication was to minimize the risks of the treatment.

This was also her employer's requirement, so she tried her best to meet it.

Hearing this, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and said somewhat easily, "Then things are very simple. You've prepared everything you can."

All that's needed is to prepare a targeted antidote, and to reduce the risk, add a milder one.

The problem can be solved easily, and with the guidance of Qiduo's Nen ability, even more risks can be reduced.

Seeing Kevin's relaxed expression, Qiduo thought for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile, "If you were in charge of a patient like this, how would you handle it?"

In some ways, Qiduo can be considered Kevin's half-teacher.

During our last collaboration, I taught Kevin a lot, and I couldn't help but start asking him instructional questions.

Upon hearing this, Kevin pondered for a moment and then gave an answer that perfectly suited him.

"Increase the dosage."

"Should we go to the hospital now?"

Qiduo changed the subject.

Kevin couldn't help but add, "For me, it's really just a matter of increasing the dosage. As long as the drug is strong enough, this kind of problem is minor."

He's a pharmacist, not a doctor.

If low-level potions don't work, then increase the dosage and use high-level potions.

"It's just an antidote after all." That's a thought that suits you perfectly.

That 'Qiduo could say.

As they talked, the two got into a car and headed to the hospital.

Kevin soon saw the patient in a heavily guarded hospital room.

The top two floors of the entire hospital were booked out.

There were all sorts of bodyguards around, and even the area around the hospital was being watched.

Kevin sensed four Nen user on both sides of the ward and inside the ward.

Although these four Nen user don't seem to be very strong, being able to hire four Nen user bodyguards is already quite remarkable.

And the patient.

She was a beautiful woman who looked to be around 30 years old. Lying on the bed, she didn't look like a patient at all, but rather like a wealthy lady asleep.

She had fair skin and a beautiful expression.

One look at him and you know he's a pampered person.

However, this patient is actually over forty-five years old, and the fact that he can maintain such a youthful appearance is enough to show how well he takes care of himself.

"Should we take another piece of flesh this time?" Qiduo asked.

Upon hearing this, the nurse in charge of the care couldn't help but twitch her brow.

Kevin shook his head. "No need, just take some blood."

That makes things simple.

Kevin observed the patient on the hospital bed, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He sensed a familiar aura, a chilling feeling.

Really.

It's Resentment.

The patient is entangled in Resentment, but the illness and the Resentment have nothing to do with each other.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Qiduo and asked in a low voice.

Do you know the Resentment she harbors?

Qiduo nodded.

Seeing Qiduo nod, Kevin was relieved, which meant that the Resentment and the illness were not related.

That's none of his business.

"But you noticed it right away."

Qiduo was somewhat surprised because the Resentment in the patient was not strong, but very subtle.

Even she only discovered this during a thorough examination, while Kevin had only been in the ward for a few minutes and hadn't even touched the patient, noticed it with the naked eye.

"It was just luck. I'm all too familiar with Resentment."

Kevin was certainly not joking about this.

His perception of Resentment far surpasses that of normal people; he is extremely familiar with this thing.

After taking a few vials of blood and observing the patient, Kevin and Qiduo left and returned to the Manor.

"For customized potions like these, tailored to a specific individual, I would use Double Refinement."

He rarely used the abilities that came with this upgrade.

Because it's not necessary at the moment.

Double Refinement does not improve the efficacy of the medicine; it only enriches or makes the effects more targeted.

[Pharmacists] used for memory and learning are generally unnecessary.

Only medicines used for treatment or for specific needs require Double Refinement.

Your growth rate is truly enviable.

Even Hunter x Hunter like Qiduo, who could already be called a genius, couldn't help but marvel at Kevin's growth.

She had indeed offered some ideas before, but she didn't expect Kevin to be able to get it done in just a few years.

Soon it came to the tedious and repetitive verification process.

Time slips away during this process of creation.

One week later.

"Phew, this is even more troublesome than I expected. I'm a bit unlucky."

Kevin was somewhat helpless.

The making of potions, well, it still involves a bit of luck, because the properties and quantities of the materials need to be combined in a very good ratio, which can only be adjusted within a certain range.

If you're unlucky, things can turn out like this; we entered the final stage three days ago.

However, due to bad luck, it took three days of trial and error to find the optimal ratio.

There are no shortcuts at this stage.

Because of Melusina's Nen ability, she cannot specify the exact quantity and ratio of each ingredient.

This would increase the amount of knowledge Melusina needs to master several times over, which would be counterproductive and might even waste more time.

Kevin also didn't want Melusina to get bogged down in meaningless learning because of such tedious and boring things.

"Now that the potion is ready, I can begin the treatment."

As she spoke, Qiduo immediately took out her phone and sent a message.

Meanwhile, the hospital began making preparations.

"Has Koto left?"

While waiting, Qiduo suddenly asked why she hadn't seen Koto for over a week.

The other party should also be inside the Manor.

"She became obsessed. After going to the Back Mountain that day, she never came back. Kurapika even sent some tents and various daily necessities there."

Kevin said with a hint of helplessness.

He never imagined that a woman as beautiful as Koto would be so passionate about her work, becoming a wild woman in the wilderness.

"It seems she has indeed gained a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have entered this state."

The most essential quality for becoming Hunter x Hunter powerful and highly professional Hunter x Hunter is focus.

The Twelve Zodiacs certainly have no shortage of expertise in professional matters.

I waited until evening.

The news just came from the hospital.

The two arrived at the hospital by car.

As soon as he got out of the car, Kai frowned.

"There are more people providing protection now."

"It's always good to be cautious."
