Entering X: A Path to Change

The main building of the Nosra Manor.

Inside a small room.

A group of people gathered here.

On the table sat a large computer with a Game Console plugged in, and the Game Console was connected to a docking station.

"You should have remembered everything I just said, right?"

Kurapika looked at the three people in front of him and said.

Gon nodded.

The three of them were preparing to enter the game world, as participants and victors of the previous game.

Kurapika and the others naturally came here to explain the basic precautions to the group.

These things won't affect the gaming experience; you'll easily find out once you enter the game, and they're actually a waste of time.

"Then I'll go in first!"

Gon was the first to raise his hand and speak.

Following Kurapika's instructions, as the game card was inserted, Gon was enveloped in Nen Aura and instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Now let me in. Once inside, you all must remember to protect me well!"

Biscuit clenched her fists and pressed them against her chest, looking utterly pitiful.

The game card disappeared after being inserted.

Seeing this, Qi turned to look at the people around him and nodded.

"Thank you for letting us into the game. Don't worry, we'll take Biscuit."

He felt this should be considered a reward, and then the card disappeared after being inserted.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room became quiet.

He said, "Who are you taking care of again?"

Basho picked at his ear, thinking he had misheard.

Pairo curled his lip in disdain and scoffed, "Didn't you see? That old lady is lying again, and those two idiots haven't even realized it yet."

This is Biscuit's classic scam; they were fooled by her when they were kids.

The main thing is that when she first Biscuit, she acted very convincingly.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for you to tell that she is actually a giant, muscular Barbie-like woman in her forties or fifties, over two meters tall.

After watching the group enter the game, a maid was left behind to keep an eye on them.

The rest of the people then dispersed.

A certain Ruins.

Two figures were moving among them.

"I don't understand some of it."

Pons looked at some of the murals and inscriptions in the Ruins and, to be honest, couldn't understand them at all.

Pakunoda followed beside him, arms crossed, watching intently.

Looking at Pakunoda's serious face, Pons asked, "Can you understand it?"

Pakunoda shook her head. "I don't understand it at all."

"Cut·-...

Pons rolled her eyes. "Then you can watch carefully here."

"But at least we've confirmed that this Ruins was once part of an ancient kingdom, and that there are indeed related legends."

Neither of them were any Ruin Hunter, so they couldn't expect to find anything from this Ruins.

Moreover, this Ruins has been severely damaged; only locals knew that an ancient Ruins still existed here.

Located in a remote area deep in the mountains and forests, even though the local powerful nation knew about these Ruins, it had absolutely no intention of protecting or repairing them.

To be honest, the protection and restoration of Ruins largely comes from the Ruin Hunter x Hunter. Those other countries and cities are just followers.

This is why the Hunter Association is so well-known and powerful among the world's leading powers.

Because the Hunter x Hunter in the story are indeed elites and experts in their respective fields, and the more capable and talented they are, the more idealistic they tend to be.

They have made many positive contributions that have greatly benefited society as a whole.

"Alright, let's take a picture to record it, and then ask a Ruin Hunter to analyze it."

I remember our first examiner was a Ruin Hunter, right?

Suddenly, Pakunoda thought of something and slapped his forehead.

Pons nodded.

After processing the information here, the two walked back along the road.

Pons asked with some concern, "Are you sure it's okay to set your first target as this legendary creature?"

With a flushed face, Pakunoda said longingly, "But such an opportunity is rare, isn't it? The giant red Giant Bird has been sighted." Having a certain understanding of various Phantom Beast Pakunoda rushed over to confirm the information after hearing about the sighting.

Then it became almost certain that this giant red Giant Bird was very likely a Phoenix.

Phoenix.

It is definitely a well-known legendary creature found in many countries.

This can be confirmed by their activities during this period in the surrounding villages, towns, and various scattered Ruins.

This is very likely the area where the Phoenix lives, or at least one of those areas.

Although he never initially intended to set his Hunter x Hunter journey's goal on such a legendary creature, once he learned the relevant information, he might regret it for the rest of his life if he gave up.

Pons knew that such persuasion was useless, so she nodded helplessly.

"Let's go back and organize the intelligence first."

At the Nosra Manor.

Kevin waved the potion in his hand.

He was conducting his daily routine of pharmaceutical research.

"It's not very useful."

Looking at the potion in his hand, Kevin said helplessly and casually placed it on the shelf next to him.

He leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling above him, deep in thought.

As his strength increased.

His current normal mental capacity is almost approaching 400,000.

But that's basically the limit. Once you reach that level, unless you train continuously for decades, the improvement in your Nen level will be almost imperceptible.

Because that's how it is with mental capacity; the more you have, the harder it is to improve, and the reason behind this is very easy to understand.

The training is simple: control your Nen Aura and continuously expend it.

This kind of consumption doesn't mean that you use up your Nen Aura all at once by using a certain ability or skill. Instead, it means that you continuously release your Nen Aura through long-term training.

Until the mental energy is completely emptied, the closer the mental energy gets to its limit, the more exhausted the body and will feel, as if physical strength is being consumed wildly.

Exercising is a feeling.

Once the waste is exhausted, it will grow back to some extent, and this cycle will continue.

But when it comes to the hundreds of thousands level, the time required to empty the system through training would take up almost all of your free time.

Unless one is an absolute martial arts fanatic, it is almost impossible for a normal person to do such a thing.

Therefore, even for those with exceptional talent, it is almost impossible to improve their Nen capacity beyond the range of 100,000 to 150,000.

This is essentially sufficient for this stage.

Kevin, through the use of a potion and by combining his two Nen ability, took a shortcut and quickly reached this level.

Furthermore, due to his [Nen quantity battery] ability, the amount of Nen Aura he can accumulate within his body can reach millions.

Battery life and stamina are not a concern at all.

If Netero is indeed the world's number one, then Kevin believes that in terms of endurance, he should be the best in human society. And he's not bragging; Kevin thinks he should be considered one of the world's Five Great Nen Users.

Their strength must be at least in the top three.

This should be the case in human society.

In other words, if he wants to improve his strength, there is only one way: to go to the Dark Continent and obtain those legendary materials.

After all, Jin's ancestor, the truly strongest human named Don Fuglits, might still be traveling in the Dark Continent.

Having witnessed the Overlord- level creatures of the Dark Continent, one would find his power utterly insignificant.

Let alone Overlord- level experts, he couldn't afford to offend even the Lord Level powerhouses in the Little Wang Family.

Therefore, relying on potions to enhance strength will take a long time.

He focused more on practicing skills and application.

Making potions is now more of a hobby and habit, and he also wants to see if he can create something interesting that can make up for some of his shortcomings.

After all, the combination of his two Nen ability has given rise to various other Nen ability, making Kevin a versatile individual.

What's still missing, and a very important one, is [flight].

One of humanity's dreams.

Although Kevin can now fly into the sky through many other means, it is ultimately not a flying ability that he can use at will.

The problem is that the related Nen ability are more complicated than he thought.

Wanting to fly freely is not such a simple thing.

To date, no potion has been released that would allow him to fly freely, and no relevant materials have even been found.

The only way to achieve this is by skirting the edges.

It's a potion that can make him lighter, and then use the power of the wind to make him fly in the sky.

The most absurd claim is that there's no information available about pure flight ability.

The human world, or rather the islands in the lake, is still too impoverished.

A poor, rural area.

But smuggling himself out of the country is meaningless to him now.

We need to wait for an opportunity.

It's not that easy.

I really don't know how far things have progressed with Kim Jong-un.

However, Kevin had no intention of interfering, after all, King was even more eager to go to the Dark Continent than he was, and had been preparing for it for so many years.

Their progress far exceeds my own.

Intervening rashly is a waste of one's energy and a sign of distrust towards allies.

For a strong and proud person like Kim, distrust is an insult.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

"What are you thinking about? You look so gloomy."

A pair of fair, jade-like arms encircled his neck, carrying a faintly sweet scent of desserts. Melusina's head leaned closer, pressing against Kevin's face as she asked.

"What brings you here? Aren't you usually very busy?"

Kevin said irritably.

"Are you angry? Hehe, I'm sorry, I've really been engrossed in researching lately."

Melusina speed, then, in a coquettish tone, pressed her cheek hard against Kevin's face, rubbing it up and down as she spoke.

"Really? Then I forgive you."

Thank you~

Melusina snuggled up to Kevin and nestled in his arms.

"The Manor has become so deserted."

After listening to Melusina's words, Kevin thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to be true.

Biscuit followed Gon into the game.

It's said that the game has undergone significant changes, and given Biscuit's personality, he's 1000% certain he'll become Gon's teacher and mentor them.

From Kevin's perspective, both Killua and Gon's use of Nen ability can be described as rudimentary.

Yungu has played a good role in providing basic education, but the problem is that it only provides the basics.

With such natural talent combined with top-notch natural ability, Kevin has never seen anyone with more exceptional talent than these two.

Given Biscuit's tendency to be a know-it-all, it was as if she had seen two rough stones that would shine brilliantly if they were simply polished.

It's impossible for her not to polish it.

Add to that the game itself; it's impossible to complete it in less than six months to a year.

Kurapika and Pairo also begin collecting the eyes.

Although they had already marked and located each pair of eyes, it would still take at least half a year to collect them all.

Moreover, not every collector who manages to attract attention is easy to deal with.

Men Qi and the other two have rested for quite some time and should be getting moving soon.

"What about you? Shouldn't you be taking action soon?"

Kevin pinched Melusina's cheek in his arms and asked.

After all, ever since wiping out the Phantom Troupe, Melusina had been keeping track of the situation in Meteor City.

She definitely wants to do something.

Upon hearing this, Melusina sighed.

"Through my memory and the intelligence I've gathered from various sources over this period, I finally understand how difficult this matter is."

She probably knew why the emotions Kevin conveyed back then had occurred.

After reviewing all this information, the only thing she wanted to know was...

How can a person be so evil?

How did Meteor City come about?

It is undoubtedly the product of a tacit understanding among various countries.

It is mandatory for residents of all countries to log into the system; this is a requirement enforced by major powers.

However, the existence of such a system also makes it easy to uncover traces of many shady activities.

Some high-ranking officials need such underhanded henchmen.

Perhaps Meteor City wasn't originally created intentionally by them, but after they discovered that such a place existed and perfectly met their needs, they naturally tacitly refrained from interfering, or even encouraged it.

How did Meteor City get its population?

They were all people abandoned by countries around the world, all abandoned in Meteor City. You would say that this would not have been possible without the intervention of countries around the world.

When someone wants to abandon a baby, the first thing that comes to mind is Meteor City.

This is a form of veiled propaganda.

The surrounding countries tacitly imposed Blockade, using the garbage as a boundary to firmly lock Meteor City inside.

Then, when various countries and forces around the world need such underworld henchmen, they will start by selecting from this pool.

Through Hunter x Hunter and various other channels, the information Melusina obtained was astonishing.

The forces interfering in Meteor City are numerous and complex.

Almost the entire criminal organization was involved, and they formed close relationships.

And the forces behind each gang are even more outrageous; even if they were right in front of you, you might not be able to figure them out.

There are also various family factions and criminal gangs.

There are quite a few A-rank wanted criminal gangs like the Phantom Troupe in the world.

Such criminal gangs tend to recruit talent from Meteor City.

Meteor City can truly be considered a "talent market" for the underworld.

When national-level forces exert pressure.

The Phantom Troupe is like Chimera Ant.

"So what are your thoughts? I've noticed you've been quite focused lately. With your clever little head, have you come up with any good ideas?"

Kevin asked curiously.

Melusina nodded.

"Through memory, we can understand that the residents of Meteor City have a very conflicted feeling towards Meteor City."

"I wouldn't say all of them, but most residents of Meteor City both dislike their city and at the same time have a very high sense of belonging to it."

If you ask the residents of Meteor City whether Meteor City is dog shit, they can definitely give you dozens of reasons why it's dog shit, and they won't repeat themselves.

If you ask them if they love Meteor City, they'll definitely say verbally, "Who would love such a shitty place?" But once they take action, they'll still do things to protect Meteor City.

This is an extremely awkward place.

Because the successful residents of Meteor City who have emerged from this community are truly capable of giving back some of their income to the Council of Elders as gratuitous donations.

For example, Shalnark has been consistently engaging in this behavior.

This has created a place that possesses normal human emotions, yet lacks a universal moral compass.

"So we don't need to really intervene or make decisions for Meteor City. What we need is to give them a choice and a channel to make their city normal again."

At that time, they will gradually flock here and then spontaneously make the appropriate choice.

This is a conclusion that Melusina has drawn over this period of time, combining her memories with her own understanding.

Kevin listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
