Three Months X News of Death

[Nen Awakening Potion]

As the four young men swallowed the medicine...

The medicine took effect immediately.

The energy that was originally dissipating upwards in strips has become fixed on the surface around the body, as if the body has automatically learned to "entwine".

Jie Mei looked at her arms and the aura emanating from her body.

Do I have it too?

Long ago, she could vaguely see the subtle tremors of energy emanating from others.

I just don't know what it is, nor do I know what it can do.

It wasn't until she drank the potion that she saw the aura emanating from her own body.

"Now, let me tell you what thought and breath are."

Kevin spoke, drawing the attention of the group.

It's just a simple explanation, it won't take long.

In about five minutes, Kevin had already conveyed various information about Nen ability to the group in a simple and uncomplicated way.

This is not difficult for them to understand.

Even if it's about Quan Delai.

He simply didn't want to think too much; he wasn't stupid, much less foolish.

"Oh! Isn't that like a superpower?"

Berorais shouted excitedly.

"Don't be too happy yet. Under normal circumstances, it would take an ordinary person years of training to safely master the ability to control their temper."

Even geniuses need months of practice, and trying to take shortcuts could very well cost you your life.

His words quieted the group down a bit.

"But the potion I just gave you will allow you all to skip this process. Regardless of your talent, you will all be able to learn the most basic [Entanglement] afterwards."

"Learning this is equivalent to having the most basic control over Qi, and finally, it's about the Four Major Principles."

"Unlike talent, learning these Four Major Principles can take anywhere from a month to several years. Let me see how qualified you are."

Kevin said with a smile.

He was no longer worried about the qualifications of the four people in front of him.

These four young people, carefully selected, are undoubtedly talented.

Of course, they can't be compared to a monster like Qi Gon, but compared to Men Qi and Xiahara, their talent is by no means inferior.

Moreover, growth is mainly determined by one's own actions and goals.

Men Qi for example.

Men Qi's biggest leap in strength actually occurred during her time in the Food Village.

Her most frequently used weapon, which accounts for a large portion of her combat power, is still the Griffin Nen Beast.

If you take her to the Dark Continent and have her hunt a large, colossal beast with him, that would be ideal.

Then her strength will instantly leap forward again.

Therefore, Nen ability is also a very important criterion, as is experience.

As for the Nen ability of these four people...

There's no way to influence that; their age and their views on the world have already been formed.

Given their talent, they should begin developing their Nen ability in less than three months.

Three months later.

Camp living quarters.

The young men sat around the fire.

Jie Mei sat on the stool, looking at her palm, her Nen Aura surging on it.

Bellolight sat down on the ground, surrounded by mechanical parts of unknown origin, which she then assembled.

Beside him, Ce held a book in his hand, turning the pages one by one.

The largest of the group Quan Delai, sat on the other side of the fire, casually flipping a large skewer of meat while keeping his eyes fixed on it.

With a clicking metallic sound.

Benorite finished assembling the machine in his hands, held it up to examine it carefully for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Wind it up and turn it on.

The strange clockwork mechanism swayed and wandered aimlessly nearby.

Just leave it there.

Benorite turned to look at her companion beside her.

"We've been out here for so long, except for the big cities we visited on the way here, we've been staying in this forest the whole time."

"Doesn't this match your expectations?" Ce asked without looking up.

"A little bit, I guess. I thought they were going to take us on a murder or crime trip or something."

Berolete said to look at some stereotypes.

"Not everyone would do that, right? Aren't there things like bodyguards?"

Quan Delai suddenly spoke up.

He remembered that the Church in the Church had said something like that.

He even said he would be perfect as a bodyguard or something.

"That's a minority, a minority, you know?"

Berolete emphasized.

Jie Mei suddenly spoke up, "Too weak."

These words immediately silenced the small campsite.

Berolete had to admit that she collapsed to the ground.

"Okay, you might be right."

They are learning about Nen ability, and it is precisely because they are learning and understanding those abilities that they realize their abilities may not be of much help to Kevin and the others.

Naturally, he could only stay idly in the camp, spending his days undergoing various Nen ability training exercises.

Of course, there is also education in terms of knowledge.

What do you think they'll have us do next?

Berolete looked at Ce and asked.

After spending several months together, they realized that this group of people did not discriminate against them or treat them unfairly.

They're not stupid either; the resources invested in them seem to exceed the value they might be able to create.

It gives the impression of being a venture capital investment.

Of course, this is just one perspective.

"Forming a team or something, I've looked into the Hunter Association and Hunter x Hunter and stuff."

"All the people in the camp are Hunter x Hunter, and they all seem to be involved in wilderness exploration."

Kevin provided them with electronic devices; the internet was very important.

The strategy will naturally gather all sorts of information from it, including their information.

Sometimes they would ask other people in the camp, and most of the time they would get an answer.

"Didn't we say at the beginning that we should cultivate reliable personnel and form a team to explore some dangerous, uninhabited place or something?"

This is the almost 100% likely objective that the strategy has now been analyzed.

Furthermore, it takes time to train them, and it seems that it may take a considerable amount of time for long-term training. Perhaps exploring this goal is not in a hurry.

"Never mind that, how's your Nen ability development going?"

They have already learned the basics of Nen ability.

What we're doing now is building Nen ability based on existing knowledge and the foundation we've laid over the past few months.

They were chatting.

On the other side of the camp.

Under the cover of night, Kevin and the others sat on the edge of the camp, near the Volcano, chatting idly.

The number of people has decreased compared to before.

Since Mona and Shalnark have gone back to the Manor, there's no point in them staying here, and it's not worth forcing them to stay. Life in the camp is naturally not as leisurely and comfortable as life in the Manor.

"So your potion can actually inspire [mind] painlessly? That's amazing. I feel like I could make a fortune just from this one request."

An sat to the side and said with some emotion.

He belongs to the type of person who doesn't have a particularly good Nen ability for Nen, and he himself is a technician.

His Nen ability was merely an aid in his research.

He suffered a lot and spent a long time learning Nen ability.

Keep in mind that he has Hunter License, which means he's considered exceptionally talented compared to the rest of the human population.

"If this kind of medicine were sold to the wealthy, they'd be fighting tooth and nail to get their hands on it."

Kevin smiled upon hearing this.

"They might not even know what Nen ability is."

Well, most Nen user in this society adhere to a tacit understanding.

They do not conceal information about Nen ability, but they also do not proactively disclose it.

In other words, they won't spread widely, and some Nen ability have little to do with daily life.

He presented himself as an ordinary expert with a strong physique.

Even if someone is in a high position, many people may not know about Nen ability, even if they have Nen user under their command, or even if their bodyguards are Nen user.

In addition, the scarcity of Nen user means that there are many high-ranking individuals who are unaware of their Nen ability.

Even those in high positions who knew about Nen ability had missed the opportunity to learn it, as some were simply too old. It's important to understand that the foundation of Nen ability— is Life Energy.

The younger you are, the more vigorous your Life Energy is, and naturally, the more opportunities you will have.

Not to mention, the time and effort required to learn Nen ability is something they can no longer sustain.

Especially after they learn Nen ability, under normal circumstances, they might not be as powerful as an ordinary person with a gun.

One can learn Nen ability, which can at least improve physical health and prolong life.

You can Initiation without spending extra time or effort.

Many wealthy people would absolutely not refuse.

This in itself is a huge wealth opportunity.

The two potions that Light currently uses most often to maintain relationships and build connections are [Healing Potion] and [Nen Awakening Potion].

At this moment Melusina spoke up and told an interesting story.

Do you know Gon and his friends?

"Gon? Aren't they in the game?"

Kevin asked, puzzled.

"I heard they've recently come out looking for help from Basho others."

"Help?"

"It's just playing volleyball."

"Oh, I thought this quest was gone after the update."

Kevin immediately recalled the incident and said with a laugh.

The most annoying thing about Razor's task is that he needs a sufficient number of players to ensure that each participant is at least capable of making a difference.

Or there are several strong characters in the team.

This is no simple matter.

As expected, tasks like this won't be removed with updates.

"A game? You don't mean the one made by Kingsoft, do you?"

Beget asked, as if remembering something.

Kevin nodded, then smiled and said, "That Gon is Kim's son."

"Wait, Kim has a son?"

Beget initially thought he had misheard.

Seeing this, Melusina found it amusing.

Everyone who knows Kim has this strange expression when they hear that Kim has a son.

After chatting for a while...

Beget then spoke.

"Based on the energy wave value, is this egg nearing its critical point? It feels like it's about to hatch."

He looked at Kevin.

After thinking for a moment, Kevin nodded somewhat uncertainly.

"It's impossible to be certain, but we can say that the energy wave value has reached its peak, and it hasn't increased in the last few days."

Simply put, the energy within has stabilized.

Under normal circumstances, once things stabilize, it should be time to begin the incubation process.

Then the day when the Phoenix Egg breaks open should not be far off.

"The geological activity within the Volcano Room has stopped in the last few days."

An said from the side.

He has been recording the relevant data and changes.

Even after turning into an egg, the Phoenix seems to still be able to influence the landscape of the surrounding Volcano.

He felt that this creature was truly a very dangerous one.

Night had completely fallen.

The group parted ways and returned to their respective tents to rest.

Early the next morning.

It's training time again.

Even when developing Nen ability, one cannot forget basic training, since developing Nen ability does not affect the fundamentals.

However, early in the morning...

An, who usually doesn't need to get up early and often sleeps in, suddenly rushed to the training ground.

His facial expression was a mixture of panic and anger.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Ann's expression, Kevin frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Ann took a deep breath and said, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Tell, Tell is dead."

These words silenced Kevin.

Beget remembered; it was the One-star Hunter he had met on the day he arrived.

As for Melusina and the children behind her, they had no idea who the two were talking about.

In the past three months, Kevin has also had some contact with Tell.

Because Tell sent some reports after he returned, and these reports also praised Kevin for his achievements.

Therefore, inspectors from the Hunter Association will call to inquire.

Tell also discussed related matters with him.

I never expected him to die so suddenly.

"How did you get this news?"

An walked over and handed him her phone, which contained a short message.

The sender of the text message should be Tell, as the message contained only one word.

"Insect."

"What does that mean?" Kevin was a little confused, thinking it was some kind of mysterious signal between the two of them.

To everyone's surprise, An also shook her head.

"I received this message last night. The source of the message was an encrypted channel. I only knew about it because I am very familiar with Tell and we are friends."

"Very few people knew about this encrypted channel, so I wondered if he had encountered an accident. Sure enough, I received news of his death shortly afterward."

He took a deep breath as he spoke.

"The report says he was murdered; there were signs of a struggle at the scene—but he was clearly no match for his opponent, and it happened right there in his office."

Kevin frowned.

Well, if you really want to categorize it, this matter doesn't have much to do with him.

He and Tell were just casual acquaintances; they weren't even friends.

I've spent several months with An, and we can be considered friends.

He was unaware of Tell's interpersonal relationships, nor of his past grievances and conflicts with others.

Moreover, the Nen user community.

To put it bluntly, the bizarre and outlandish combat kills are not surprising at all.

After all, there are psychopaths like Hisoka.

But Tell was definitely not a strongman; one could only say that his fighting skills were not weak.

After all, the other party's purpose is more focused on disaster prevention and relief.

So, what are your thoughts?

Kevin asked Ann.

"I'm preparing to leave. He was my friend, and I can't just stand by and watch him die without knowing why. Besides, I need to know what his last message to me meant."

Simply put, An mainly came to say goodbye and depart.

At this moment, Ce suddenly spoke.

"You might die if you go back."

These words drew everyone's attention.
