Jie Mei.

A girl with no expression, no personality, and no emotional intelligence.

Previously, when Kevin conducted a Water Divination test on the other party, he determined that the other party's Nen ability type was [Transmutation Type].

Kevin also observed his opponent during subsequent training sessions.

It's confirmed that the other party is not entirely Transmutation Type, but rather leans towards Materialization Type, and has almost reached the middle position.

In other words, Jie Mei can actually construct a hybrid Nen ability, primarily a Transmutation Type.

However, even for a purely Transmutation Type, it doesn't matter.

Because such preferences can be reversed.

Humans are highly malleable. Through years of training, they can bring back their innate preferences and then work hard in their original field to achieve perfection in that field.

So Kevin was also very curious about what kind of Nen ability a girl like Jie Mei would develop.

Based on Kevin's understanding of her, she probably wouldn't have developed a very complex Nen ability.

Facing the gaze of the crowd.

Jie Mei remained expressionless and raised her hands.

A surge of Nen Aura welled up within him.

Then, the Nen Aura began to turn white, coalesced into a ball, and transformed into a cloak of silk draped over the body.

A type of Satin.

Melusina curiously reached out and touched it.

"It's a very high-quality fabric; it feels great to the touch."

Melusina herself also has a fondness for Satin fabrics, so she has done some research on them.

Kevin looked at her and said helplessly.

Let me introduce myself.

If I don't say anything, she'll really just keep watching.

Jie Mei nodded. "My Nen ability is to transform Nen Aura into various kinds of Satin to achieve different effects."

Hearing this, Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "It's just a simple fabric change, yet you've left yourself a lot of room for maneuver?"

Jie Mei nodded.

"Yes, that's it. The maximum controllable extension range is about 15 meters."

The extended range can be trained later to extend the distance further.

What fabric changes have occurred?

"Four kinds of Damask and Satin and satins."

Kevin nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

"I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing. It seems I didn't know you guys well enough."

Kevin truly hadn't expected to possess such a Nen ability, especially Transmutation Type.

This clearly shows that Jie Mei really likes it, and she must have the corresponding fabric on hand. Only someone who is familiar with it to a certain extent can develop such Nen ability and perform various transformations.

Jie Mei didn't say much about this, but instead reached into her chest and took out a pendant.

The so-called pendant is actually a square-cornered amulet, and if you look closely, you can see that it is made of several different kinds of fabric joined together.

It now appears that they were made of different fabrics.

"Not bad, let's see how you use it later."

Kevin acknowledged the Nen ability. The use of transforming into cloth was diverse and adaptable. Moreover, how the cloth produced the desired effect and what it could do depended mainly on the situation.

Although Jie Mei's expression was indifferent, she was quite talented and intelligent, Kevin believed that she could make good use of his Nen ability.

Then he turned his head to look at the other one.

"And you, kid?"

Berorais held his head high with a hint of pride, with some mechanical parts beside him, all of which he had recently collected.

This kid's Nen ability type is actually [Emission Type], and it leans more towards the [Manipulation Type] type.

Kevin had initially guessed that he might be Emission Type or Enhancement Type, but he didn't expect him to be Emission Type, leaning towards the Manipulation Type.

"My Nen ability is called [Ten Thousand Machines One Heart], watch closely!"

He shouted, and his Nen Aura shot out directly from his hand.

The Nen Aura directly enveloped the mechanical parts below, and then, under the manipulation of the Nen Aura, these parts quickly collided together.

They were combined directly into a pair of mechanical gloves that were then placed on Berorais's hands.

In an instant, Berorais seemed to form a mechanical iron fist.

"Scrap Iron Blast!"

The kid even shouted out the name of the skill.

He threw a punch at the giant tree to the side.

The entire front of his fist launched him forward with a powerful leap.

It struck the tree stump with tremendous force.

The entire fist was embedded in it.

This indicates that the power is highly concentrated rather than dispersed, and that the power is released very quickly.

Kevin and the others, who were on the sidelines, saw even more of what was happening.

As the fist flew out, the Nian (spirit) acted as a booster, and now, upon closer inspection, one can see that the iron fist has a nozzle at the back.

Clearly, the thought was ejected from the nozzle.

In other words, when Berorais was building various scrap metal machines, he wasn't just haphazardly assembling them; he was genuinely using his mechanical talent and knowledge to piece them together.

Although the source of power may be Nen Aura, it is precisely because this knowledge and the way it is pieced together are in line with common sense that the power that Nen Aura can exert is far greater than normal.

Simply put, it means using minimal resources to unleash maximum power.

I don't know if this is a formal Restriction, but it is undoubtedly a kind of implicit Restriction.

The fist was pulled back.

All the scrap metal scattered in an instant, then reassembled, transforming into something resembling a cannon.

Berorais pulled the trigger immediately.

A large amount of tiny scrap metal was shot out from the cannon, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and densely embedded itself in the surface of the tree stump, causing wood chips to fly everywhere.

After doing all this, he patted the machine next to him forcefully.

He asked smugly.

"How is it? Isn't it great?"

Kevin nodded slightly.

"It's indeed quite good. The Nen ability has fused well with your talent, and the effect is quite ideal. The only problem is that you need to carry some mechanical parts with you at all times."

This is actually a significant limitation.

These words left Berorais somewhat helpless; no Nen ability is perfect, and everyone has weaknesses.

He couldn't help but say, "But if there are enough mechanical parts, and I do some more learning, I can assemble some very large and powerful pieces of equipment."

Kevin nodded, offering no rebuttal.

He already had high expectations for this Nen ability.

Kevin has a very deep understanding of Nen ability, due to his profession and the nature of Nen ability.

Berorais has a promising future.

Simply put, he is not a character suited to initiate attacks.

However, he is extremely well-suited for defending positions, and if it comes to positional warfare, allowing him to prepare for battle would give Berorais a significant advantage.

Moreover, it has great growth potential.

First, there's mechanical knowledge. You have to understand that Berorais's mechanical knowledge at the moment relies more on talent and the rudimentary, unsystematic knowledge he picked up in Meteor City.

If he learns systematically, his abilities will improve by leaps and bounds.

All we need to do is give him more opportunities to practice and build a solid foundation for his future.

He would then be able to assemble even more outrageous weapons and equipment, or rather, various mechanical devices.

He alone is a large-scale mechanical expert, or rather, an engineering equipment team.

Kevin had to admit, he'd hit the jackpot this time.

The opponent will be an extremely powerful functional unit.

And without a doubt, just thinking about it makes it clear what kind of help he can provide to Kevin's team on their journey to the Dark Continent.

Not only Men Qi and Melusina next to Kevin, but also nodded in satisfaction.

Having confirmed Berorais's abilities, Kevin looked at Beross's good friend.

Ce adjusted his glasses, and seeing that everyone's attention had shifted to him, he nodded and began a brief introduction.

This seemingly clever and intelligent young man possesses a Nen ability of the [Manipulation Type] type, and it's a 100% Manipulation Type at that.

"I named my Nen ability [Deep Dive]."

This name is quite interesting.

Because you can't deduce someone's Nen ability from their name, since it's unlikely that Tsukasa would actually develop a Nen ability that would help him dive into the sea.

"The Manipulation Type allows for precise manipulation of things, including objects and people, but also myself."

He pointed to his head and adjusted his glasses.

Kevin listened and nodded slightly.

Many Manipulation Type Nen ability involve manipulating oneself.

Because the Manipulation Type has a characteristic. "The first player to move wins."

Once you're controlled by the Manipulation Type, you're almost doomed; the scales of victory will tip in your favor.

However, the Manipulation Type also has one characteristic.

That is, among players of the same Manipulation Type, if a target has already been taken by someone else, then other Manipulation Type cannot take it away.

There can only be one person in control; it's first-come, first-served.

Therefore, many Manipulation Type, in order to prevent themselves from being manipulated, often leave a small gap to create Nen ability that can control them.

Kevin, however, was somewhat surprised.

Because if you only focus on controlling yourself, you're essentially losing the most powerful ability of the Manipulation Type.

Manipulating others' first move guarantees victory.

This is tantamount to abandoning one's own advantages.

For someone as intelligent as Ce, this is hard to imagine.

"My idea for this Nen ability is that I hope to use Nen ability to perfectly control my body."

"Humans cannot control their own bodies; they are merely users of their own bodies, not their absolute controllers."

This is a biological concept related to strategy.

"Through this Nen ability, I can control my body, regulate every muscle and nerve, and control every secretion."

Make me fearless, make me angry, make me extreme, make me unafraid of pain, give me exceptional memory, make me—"

As he continued speaking, everyone couldn't help but show expressions of admiration.

That's too harsh on yourself.

The human body functions in a very precise way; humans are undoubtedly a structure that is both precise and somewhat rough.

Such subtle manipulations, if not handled carefully, can lead to extremely serious consequences.

Even with the most advanced biomedical technology today, our understanding of human beings is still not deep enough.

"But don't worry, I have taken precautions. I only control my body when I am actively in control. Once I give up control and disconnect my Nen ability, my body will automatically refresh."

"Return to the state before control was implemented. Of course, injuries sustained during this period will not be healed, but some adjusted data will be restored to the default state."

This guy is completely controlling his body like a computer.

"However, I haven't reached the standard I just introduced yet. I need to train my Nen ability more deeply in order to be able to perform more subtle and dangerous manipulations."

"At this stage, there are certain limitations to the subtle control one can exert over their own body."

This was understandable, and everyone nodded.

Ce adjusted his glasses; he was actually gambling.

He had used the drugs provided by Kevin, and with access to a computer, he had been frantically absorbing knowledge from the outside world for the past few months.

The medicine Kevin gave was completely abnormal and quite exaggerated.

Although it's a product of Nen ability, powerful is powerful.

In their understanding, Kevin's Nen ability, despite being such a powerful individual, was actually a support-type Nen user.

This planted the seed for him.

More importantly, having used the medication means he knows its effects.

After spending these past few months together, he also knew that Kevin would continue to produce various New Potion, as well as many potions that had already been stockpiled on a large scale.

These medicines are very effective.

His precise control over his body allows him to exert the effects of these drugs more powerfully and perfectly.

He had already designed this ability into his body long ago.

This Nen ability may not seem very powerful, but if it's combined with the potions Kevin can prepare...

Its powerful performance has already begun to emerge.

So there's an element of gambling involved.

It's gambling with your own future.

Finally, Kevin looked at Quan Delai.

"And you."

Faced with everyone's gaze, Quan Delai somewhat embarrassed, then scratched his head.

"I... I don't know what kind of Nen ability to build, so I haven't figured it out yet."

These words left Kevin feeling helpless.

"You've completed it; it's a truly typical Enhancement Type build."

Men Qi, meanwhile, was standing to the side, clutching her stomach and laughing heartily.

"Don't you know? I saw your Nen ability a few days ago. I thought you knew it yourself."

Men Qi and Buhaci would go out hunting every now and then and come back to prepare delicious food.

Therefore, they had a good relationship with Quan Delai, since some of the experimental dishes ended up in the other party's stomach, whereas before they went into Buhaci's stomach.

"Huh? I have Nen ability?"

Quan Delai puzzled; why didn't he feel anything?

"Yes, it is very simple and unadorned, very basic. Perhaps that is why you didn't notice it."

"A certain type of passive Nen ability, which exists continuously."

Buhaci provided the commentary from the side.

He then explained, "Your Nen ability is manifested in your ability to eat a lot. Haven't you noticed how much you can eat? Far exceeding your body weight. Unless it's Nen ability, this wouldn't be possible for you."

"Even if you used to have a big appetite, it wasn't beyond the normal range, you know?"

"Your Nen ability is simple: quickly extract energy from what you eat and use it to improve and maintain your overall health."

Although Buhaci has a big appetite and can eat far more food than his own weight, this food is concentrated and stored as fat in his stomach.

Therefore, Buhaci's ability is more like the application of fat protection and the utilization of energy in the body.

It also strengthened its digestive system, but that was just a side effect.

Upon hearing this, Melusina was standing nearby, suddenly said, "It sounds the same as Kevin's potion."

Kevin was also somewhat helpless at this point.

"I suspect it was an inspiration he got after using my potion a few times. He must have tried it out on his own in private, and somehow it developed into Nen ability without him even realizing it."

This Nen ability Chairman.

As long as you Quan Delai, you can still eat.

If I had to pinpoint it, I would probably say that I strengthened my digestive system and the entire body that the digestive system connects to.

But how can the energy we consume be specifically used to strengthen our bodies?

Humans aren't monsters.

Therefore, Enhancement Type Nen ability are still at play in this process.

This is the Nen ability formed by the will Quan Delai.

"Why don't you just name this Nen ability 'Gluttony'?"
