Pakunoda hung up the phone.

Staring at the two giant trees in front of them, they froze in place, and their companions around them stopped as well.

Pons also stopped and turned to look at Pakunoda, who was standing there in a daze for some reason.

"What's wrong? You answered a phone call, why are you acting like this?"

Hearing Pons's words, Pakunoda came back to her senses and put her phone in her pocket.

He let out a breath and looked at his companion with a serious expression.

He said, "The problem is very serious. According to the information from my master, this matter is very likely deliberate, and the Danger Level behind it is more than ten times higher than we imagined."

These words made Pons frown.

The two companions beside them couldn't help but say, "Could this be an exaggeration? Could a disaster caused by an unknown creature really be that serious?"

It's not that they don't believe it.

Rather, it is a disaster caused by unknown organisms, and generally speaking, the most significant harm is its impact on the environment.

This could lead to a chain reaction.

It might not be apparent at the time, but as time goes by, it will cause all sorts of problems, resulting in irreversible damage to the surrounding environment that is difficult for humans to reverse.

This is the kind of danger they perceive posed by unknown creatures.

But judging from Pakunoda's reaction, the danger doesn't seem to be as great as they thought.

The other companion thought for a moment, then laughed in a more relaxed tone, "Anyway, we should at least go in and take a look, right? Just be a little more careful."

These words made Pakunoda nod.

They were already at the border, but they still accepted the commission. No matter how dangerous it was, they had to go in and find out what was going on, at least to bring out the information inside.

Pons frowned, and finally said, "Then we must be on high alert. I will try to expand the reconnaissance area as much as possible after we enter."

That's all we can do.

The group walked towards the two large trees.

The way to enter the NGL Autonomous Region looks a bit strange; on the border, two giant trees connect the two sides.

These two giant trees formed a bridge and even became Border Checkpoint on the national border.

"According to what the driver just said, several groups of people should have already gone in, and more people should arrive after us."

"With so many people around, the level of security should be improved, right?"

Pons murmured to herself.

She felt uneasy after Kevin sent her a message warning them to be careful.

But it's impossible to just abandon the mission and run away; that would be too cowardly.

If they actually do something like that, they can forget about ever achieving anything again.

It took them quite a while to pass the inspection and remove all modern items from their bodies, including their clothing.

Because the fabrics used in their clothes are not purely naturally produced.

After spending a lot of money to purchase a complete set of materials and produce purely handmade items here, it was finally allowed in.

They also spent a lot of money renting several horses.

"That's enough, their eating manners are truly appalling."

One of his companions couldn't help but complain.

"NGL is a godforsaken place; it's always been like this, just putting on a show."

Another companion casually cursed.

For these Hunter x Hunter, if they were to pay attention, nothing hidden in the NGL Autonomous Region could escape their notice.

This place has a large underground industry.

"Let's go, riding horses will take quite a while."

"I can't help it," said Pakunoda, mounting his horse and leading the group forward.

A few days later.

Kite led her team to the border of the NGL Autonomous Region.

"Just like we agreed before, you'll be responsible for supporting me at the border. As long as we don't cross the border, the laws inside won't be able to affect us."

After talking with Kevin that day.

Kite began making preparations very cautiously.

He originally intended to bring some of his companions into the autonomous region, but after learning of the dangers involved, he abandoned that idea.

Instead, they decided to let them remain at the border.

Their main responsibility is to provide support.

"Don't worry, we've prepared enough messengers this time."

The bear-like companion patted the cage next to it.

These were just unloaded from the vehicle.

There were six eagles in the cage, each marked and with a bamboo tube for storing information.

This is an eagle messenger specifically purchased for the NGL environment and trained by professional Hunter x Hunter.

But it took them a lot of effort.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'll pass on any messages. I'll go in now."

Kite said this as she walked alone into the Border Checkpoint.

The two eagles were released.

They will follow Kite once she goes inside.

Greed Island.

"Godspeed!"

Power surge.

Numerous blue arcs of electricity surged across Qi's body, causing his hair to stand on end.

The hair even emitted a blue glow due to the electric currents.

It felt as if he was completely enveloped by blue arcs of electricity.

"Whoosh!" The speed was extremely fast, and it disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, with even a sharp buzzing sound in the air.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, the enemy was kicked away.

And completely unprepared, he saw Qi's movements without warning.

And the enemy that was sent flying.

Gon was standing there in a horse stance.

"Rock, Scissors - Rock!"

With a loud shout, a large amount of Nen Aura was completely gathered and enveloped Gon's fist.

It unleashed a fierce barrage.

The immense force, imbued with Nen Aura, slammed heavily into the incoming enemy.

"Boom!"

A pure roar.

The enemy was sent flying by the punch, his initial charge reversing and flying to the other side.

Under the influence of forces from different directions, the entire body shattered instantly, exploding directly in the air.

It turned into a card and fell down.

Qi immediately bent his knees and jumped up, grabbing the card in his hand.

"Haha, finally done! The last one is complete!"

As Qi landed, he held up the card in his hand, his face beaming with a smile.

Gon quickly ran over, waving his arms and shouting happily.

Watching the two of them happily spinning around.

Biscuit stood to the side, hands on her hips, clapping her hands with a smile.

Congratulations! You've cleared the level.

"It's us!"

Gon retorted with a loud laugh.

Upon hearing this, Biscuit burst out laughing.

"That's right, it's congratulations on clearing the game!"

After spending more than half a year, they finally completed this game, which was designed specifically for Nen user.

At this point, a server-wide announcement began.

The final questions are about to begin.

After completing the quiz, they will collect all the cards and head to the final location to trade their rewards.

Biscuit stood to the side, watching the two with a sense of relief.

She didn't know what the game was like before; she had only heard about it after joining.

Because after the game was updated, many players who had played the previous version re-entered the game.

But now, Biscuit feels that the updated version is exactly to her liking.

And she clearly saw the meaning behind this game.

Training for all Nen user.

Gon and Qi are undoubtedly the most perfect rough stones; with just a little polishing, they can Emission dazzling brilliance.

For a Gem Hunter like her, it was simply irresistible, even if it was just like playing a game.

It's more like edutainment.

Biscuit, acting as a teacher, began training the two from the very beginning of the game, subjecting them to rigorous training for almost a year in this large Training Ground through games.

Moreover, this is not basic training; it is advanced training for two people who have already mastered Nen user.

"Without a doubt, these two children are far more talented than Kevin, but whether they can truly achieve that level of success depends on their future experiences."

Biscuit couldn't help but sigh.

Of all the students she taught, Kevin was undoubtedly the most special one.

Because Kevin's talent is by no means exceptional, but correspondingly, Kevin possesses Specialization that are difficult for others to find.

Whether it's the dual-type Nen that appeared due to unknown circumstances, the effect of combining two Nen ability, or the Nen Aura control ability that cannot be obtained without extreme training.

The combination of these factors makes Kevin's achievements difficult to predict.

Kevin, through his own abilities, perfectly combined these talents and Emission absolute brilliance.

One of the main reasons Biscuit appreciated the two children was their age.

It's too small.

They were only twelve or thirteen years old.

It's rare for Nen user to possess such terrifying strength at this stage.

This is the key reason why Biscuit believes these two have unlimited potential.

Especially strange.

"What on earth is Jin doing? Seriously."

Thinking of this, Biscuit couldn't help but curse Kim again. Although she could understand, she still couldn't help but grumble.

Because Qi is a member of the Zoldyck Family and is very likely to become the future head of the family, the foundation laid by the entire family for him is considerable.

Especially during this period of training.

Qi's rapid progress left Biscuit somewhat bewildered. She couldn't understand why someone's Nen level could increase so quickly.

It was only later that I learned that Kevin had specially prepared a potion for him to enhance his foundation.

In comparison, Gon seems rather too primitive.

Although this gap will be bridged later.

But at this stage, the differences between the two are already apparent.

Take the complete set of cards.

They headed to the final location to collect their reward for completing the game.

Receiving awards, a parade of floats, and a banquet.

After completing the entire process, the game was officially approved.

"I really didn't expect that someone would clear the game so early this time, and it's even three children."

"You're ignorant. Wasn't it three children who beat the game last time?"

"What? Were there three kids last time too?"

"Yes, I remember it was two men and one woman, ah, the same setup."

"But those three kids seem to be a year or two older, they look more mature, while these three look a bit too childish."

"Stop talking, that white-haired child is looking over here."

"Sigh, kids these days are getting more and more amazing, making us adults feel a little ashamed."

"What's there to be ashamed of? There are plenty of capable kids out there. Accept your powerlessness, accept the fact that you're useless."

"Hey, you are too decadent."

There were quite a few players among the onlookers.

There were even players who had completed the game before.

After receiving the cheers.

The three of them, having taken what they wanted, officially left the game.

"Finally back to reality."

He then took out the box, took out three cards, and handed one of them to Biscuit.

With the incantation, the card transformed into a real object.

A dazzling, spherical gem appeared in Biscuit's hand.

"This is it! It's so beautiful! Ahhh! What should I call you?"

Biscuit screamed.

It attracted even more people.

Gowen pushed open the door and walked in.

Looking at the three of them.

"You're all out? Is something wrong? Wait, did you already beat the game?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

"That's really impressive."

Gowen sighed with emotion.

The main problem is that he can now clearly see the subtle sense of threat emanating from Gon and Qi.

Just over six months ago, he considered these two children as people he could kill at will.

But now, a threat can be vaguely sensed.

Only half a year has passed.

What a young monster!

"It seems you've grown a lot."

He then waved to the three of them.

"Let's go. Now that we've cleared the level, we should have a banquet. Everyone's very interested."

"No problem."

Although Gon was a little anxious, he couldn't rush things.

Relationships with friends are also important.

The group arrived at the hall.

Soon, the people still inside the Manor gathered around.

Biscuit looked around.

"How come so much is missing?"

Men Qi, Shalnark, Kevin, Kurapika, and the others were all absent.

"There are so few left," Gon said with some regret.

This means he is unable to share his joy and experiences with his friends.

Nion shrugged helplessly. "Because everyone's been really busy lately."

She has already given predictions to several strangers in the past few days, and the information was personally delivered by Kevin.

This suggests they are likely doing something dangerous.

Has anything happened outside lately?

Biscuit sensed something was wrong and asked.

Because it is rare for all the main combat forces to leave the Manor.

Although Gowen can also be considered a main fighting force.

But the fact that only he remained means something serious has happened.

To everyone's surprise, Gowen shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure, but my lord has instructed me to prepare to depart and head towards the border of NGL."

Is even Gowen being transferred?

It seems something really did happen.

After a simple banquet.

Gon and Qi prepared to say goodbye.

They already have what they've obtained; it's very likely the key to the golden statue.

"What a waste."

Nion was speechless when she saw the cards that Gon and the other person had exchanged.

For someone like her who had played the game and been guided through it, exchanging for such items seemed like a waste.

"Because that's how you can find gold."

Gon said seriously.

That was his goal, but Qi didn't care about the things that could be exchanged.

"I really don't know what's so good about a man like that."

Everyone here has met Jin, so it's hard to say whether you have any positive feelings towards him.

In particular, every time Kim comes to the Nosra Manor, he has to mess with the alarm system.

"I find it strange, really can this method get me to Jin's side?"

Biscuit was skeptical.

From her perspective, Jin was somewhat awkward.

"I'll bring Qi with me and tell him he's my best friend."

Gon said confidently.

After saying that, he looked at Biscuit.

"Does Biscuit want to come along?"

This question caused Biscuit to fall silent for a moment, because she was genuinely thinking about it.

She did have something to discuss with Jin.

But recently, something significant seems to have happened outside, so finding gold doesn't seem so urgent anymore.

Moreover, this is a father and son meeting.

"Never mind, you guys go ahead, I have something to do."

He waved as he spoke.

Gon and Qi exchanged a glance, said goodbye to everyone, and went into the garden.

"Use Accompany, target Nico."
