In the Snake Nest camp.

Kevin's professional Pharmaceutical Room.

In fact, the most crucial part of the entire camp, besides the Data Center, is Kevin's Pharmaceutical Room.

The Data Center is primarily centered around strategy. Besides various data and information about human society, its most important function at this stage is to collect data from the Dark Continent.

The longer it lasts, the more valuable it becomes.

As for Kevin's Pharmaceutical Room, that goes without saying.

It can be said that the entire Exploration Team expanded outwards based on Kevin's potion.

To be honest, if Kevin's strength wasn't far superior to everyone else's, the best approach would have been to keep Kevin in the camp for protection.

The potion Kevin is currently creating is one that has been previously created and validated, and can be widely used by others.

[Nen quantity battery] Medicine.

As an A-Rank potion, even without Kevin's Nen ability — the Blank Meteor.

It can still bring about permanent changes to humanity.

Now that everyone has adapted to the environment of the Dark Continent, they have begun to explore outwards.

It's time to introduce this medicine to the entire team.

And inside the restaurant.

It's rare to see everyone gathered together today.

Right next to the large round table in the center of the restaurant was a huge tray, on which were neatly arranged pieces of beef, mutton, and horse meat.

Moreover, they were all hunted in the Gale Grassland.

The meat from the entire Gale Grassland has been proven to have extremely high nutritional value.

It's a good time to put to use what we brought back earlier.

Watching this scene, Gon Jie asked Biscuit beside him with some confusion, "Isn't it true that there's no way to further enhance one's physique?"

"It's a new A-Rank potion, didn't we mention it before?"

Biscuit glared at Gon, wondering how he could forget something like this.

Qi leaned back in his chair beside him, saying nonchalantly, "What does it matter? The two of us can't use it anyway."

Biscuit glared at Qi, but didn't say anything more.

Both Kiy and Gon are teenagers whose bodies have not yet fully matured, coupled with their innate talents.

After deliberation and discussion, the conclusion reached was that the two would not be given the A-rank drug that would cause permanent changes to their bodies for the time being.

This could potentially harm the normal development of the two teenagers, making it a losing proposition.

At that moment Kevin and Melusina pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

"Everyone's here. Looks like you're all ready. We've only made two doses this time. Who wants to use it first?"

Men Qi leaned closer to Melusina and asked curiously.

"Does this medicine make you feel really unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Melusina nodded, still shaken.

"It's very uncomfortable; it's not painful, but it's extremely uncomfortable."

Biscuit then raised her hand and suggested, "Let's give it to those who need to operate for extended periods of time first."

This is a very simple and direct method.

No one objected to this.

So the first to be affected is Men Qi, and then Morel.

The amount of Nen greatly affected the two people's Nen abilities.

Soon, the two of them drank the medicine.

"I didn't feel anything special, and the taste wasn't great either."

Men Qi smacked her lips and, as was her habit, appraised the food as Gourmet Hunter.

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly leaned forward onto the table, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

The Nen Aura within his body was expanded by the use of the potion, and then surged towards his back.

The spine is being reshaped.

The whole process wasn't painful, but it was very uncomfortable.

Qiduo adjusted her glasses and began taking out her equipment to examine the two people.

This is a very rare opportunity.

"Drink the potion and eat. The transformation will take almost a whole day and requires a lot of physical strength and energy."

O

Men Qi and Morel were prepared; after drinking the potion, they began to eat meat.

The delicious food greatly relieved their mood; the abundant nutrients flooded their bodies and were absorbed, which also calmed their chaotic bodies somewhat.

"What are you looking at, you brat!"

While eating, Men Qi suddenly noticed Kiy and Gon's gazes, turned around abruptly, and shouted.

"Huh!"

The two were Kiy and tilted their heads back slightly.

Men Qi's eyes looked like she really was going to rush over and punch each of them.

"The edges of this piece of meat aren't heating evenly, what's wrong?"

Her attention immediately shifted to the piece of meat in her hand, and she seemed to have found something wrong with it, saying with great dissatisfaction.

As he spoke, he punched the belly of the Xiahara next to him, causing layers of flesh to surge upwards.

This Buhaci completely bewildered.

I'm going out for a smoke.

Morel, leaning on his large Pipe, sighed and said in a slightly trembling voice.

As she spoke, two streams of tears flowed from beneath her sunglasses, pouring down like rain.

I really want to see the ocean.

Morel, an Ocean Hunter, has a very special feeling for the sea.

At this moment, many memories flood my mind.

The excitement and emotion of arriving in the Dark Continent surged up at this moment.

Muttering to himself, Morel walked out of the camp, squatted on a big tree, and started smoking. He didn't actually have a smoking addiction; the Pipe was just a way for him to use his Nen ability, and more importantly, it was a weapon.

Not to mention this is the Dark Continent, and given his identity as Professional Hunter, his smoking addiction would be a significant factor.

But at this moment, all he wanted was to have a good few bites.

The two of them looked very strange.

Biscuit was sweating profusely.

"Will I be like that too?"

Biscuit is sometimes quite conscious of her image; she feels that such sudden mood swings might negatively impact her glamorous image in the eyes of others.

In particular, she was well aware that she herself was a capricious person.

However, Melusina did not answer her, but just looked at Men Qi and suddenly scratched her head.

"It seems everyone is different? Do they express the most prominent aspects of their personality?"

Hearing this, Biscuit suddenly became curious.

What were you like when you drank this medicine?

Upon hearing this, Melusina blushed and stammered, unable to say anything.

"Oh, I see."

Biscuit seemed to understand something, and nodded with a smile.

"What are you laughing at? Don't think nonsense!"

Melusina grew anxious and hugged Biscuit, shaking her vigorously.

"That's so interesting! What do you think it would be like if we drank it?"

Gon found their behavior amusing; it was quite interesting to see their true natures so openly displayed.

Kiy, standing nearby, was also very interested.

Of the entire team, only two people were interested, but unfortunately, they couldn't use it.

Don't you think you're too fat? Can't you lose some weight? Lose weight, lose weight, lose weight!

After eating the prepared food, Men Qi had an excess of nutrients in her body.

At this moment, he was repeatedly pounding Buhaci's belly with his fists, loudly complaining.

"Huh? Why do I need to lose weight?"

Buhaci held his head in his hands and said helplessly.

"Because you're too fat and very noticeable, right? If you take a bus, no one can sit with you."

Men Qi has started to become quite unreasonable.

Although she had always had a volatile and unreasonable personality, it has become very pronounced now.

After saying that, he suddenly sighed.

"The barbecue is too greasy, it's so annoying. At times like this, I should—"

As she spoke, she lunged at Melusina and hugged her tightly.

"Make me some dessert! Make me some dessert, Melusina!"

As she spoke, she hugged Melusina and started to wriggle.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you right away."

And so, Men Qi began harassing everyone in the entire camp.

Buhaci could only keep following behind.

And Morel.

I've been up in the tree for a long time now, and all I can see are wisps of smoke drifting out from above every now and then.

Until the next day.

When I arrived at the restaurant in the morning, I saw that the breakfast table was covered with food, much more plentiful than usual.

And next to her was Men Qi, who was wearing an apron.

Seeing the strange looks from the people who came in, Men Qi blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her.

"Well, this is today's breakfast, as an apology for my rudeness yesterday."

Gon and Qi walked over carefree and sat down in their seats.

Kiy looked at Men Qi and suddenly said something.

"But you said yesterday that I have absolutely no ability to appreciate fine things."

"Should I kneel down and shout, 'Thank you Men Qi, for your culinary bounty?'"

Gon suddenly added a sentence.

Men Qi blushed instantly.

The girl's blush was more important than anything else.

"Ugh, so annoying! Should I eat or not?! Because of these two damn brats!"

He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to charge, but was held back by Xiahara from behind.

"Hahaha!"

Gon and Killua grabbed their plates and ran out.

Once Men Qi sat down, Qiduo adjusted her glasses.

How are you feeling now? Do you clearly remember your actions yesterday? What are your thoughts on your behavior yesterday?

Although it may sound like nitpicking, most of them are actually asking very serious academic questions.

By answering these three questions, Kido can roughly determine the psychological state of the users affected by yesterday's events.

Men Qi understood this as well, and after thinking about it seriously for a moment, she said...

"I feel perfectly normal now, and even a little relaxed, as if I've completely relaxed."

"I have a very clear understanding of my behavior yesterday, and I can recall all my thoughts and emotional changes at the time."

"The feeling is one of shame, because you can feel that it was your own doing. It's not about control or anything like that; it's more like pressure and emotions that have been building up to their limit and then suddenly exploded."

Qiduo nodded and noted it down in her notebook.

Illumi, supporting him from the side, said, "Yesterday's behavior seemed like the irrational actions of a pregnant woman due to hormonal changes."

Qiduo nodded beside her.

"That's right. Using a simple analogy, this kind of imagery can speed up the process of understanding."

Men Qi's behavior was actually normal. The reason he felt a little ashamed was because of the stark contrast between them.

It should be noted that two people used the drug.

As for Morel, who used the potion, he simply spent the entire day yesterday grieving alone in the tree.

It had almost no impact on anyone.

He then harassed everyone in the entire camp.

In particular, it chased after Killua and Gon, running around the entire camp all day.

After testing and verification.

Qiduo concluded that the medication would not cause any significant side effects.

So-called side effects are merely temporary chain reactions that occur in the body when a drug takes effect.

Moreover, it was merely an emotional change, without affecting rationality.

In other words, after using the drug, emotions will erupt, but this eruption is not an extreme, one-time explosion.

Rather, it is a continuous and sustained emotional outburst.

This emotional outburst, combined with the transformation of the entire spine, creates an extremely relaxing feeling once everything settles down.

Because the spine is the most important part of the human body, it supports the entire body and is connected to almost every part of it.

Its entire transformation is more like an upgrade and repair, which naturally creates a very relaxed feeling.

Essentially, besides modifying the spine to accommodate the cultivation of Qi, it also strengthens the bones to a certain extent.

In addition, the sustained burst of energy is a very good way to vent.

In addition, being on the Dark Continent, with its dangerous environment, puts a constant strain on the human spirit.

This outburst effectively relieved the mental stress.

When both exist simultaneously, one will feel completely at ease, just as Qiduo said.

My mood was better than ever before.

After discussing these things with Qiduo, Kevin stroked his chin.

"Are you thinking of creating a potion to relieve mental stress?"

Melusina, sitting beside her, asked with a smile.

"I can't hide it from you anymore, have you crawled into my head?"

Kevin tapped Melusina's cheek and asked with a smile.

Melusina smiled and hugged Kevin's neck, "I can read your mind, I know everything you're thinking."

"Rice worms in your stomach? Then eat—"

"Ugh! Shut up! You're disgusting!"

Biscuit, sitting next to him, curled her lip in disgust, feeling a bit fed up.

They moved a little further away.

Then I saw Pairo's gaze.

"What?"

"Have people started to lose their appreciation for the strong emotions of young people?"

Pairo said something completely out of the blue.

Biscuit throbbed instantly.

He asked through gritted teeth, "You took medicine too?"

"No."

"Looks like you want to die."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and prepared to get up.

Then, Shalnark quietly tugged at her tug.

Biscuit instantly tilted her head in anger.

"This place is unbearable. I'd better pray I don't remember this when I take my medicine."

With that, Biscuit clenched her fist and stormed off.

Watching Biscuit leave, Kurapika looked at Pairo with a strange expression.

"What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"

Pairo simply crossed his arms. "I'm thinking, if I took the drug, I'd definitely do something like this."

"I'm considering the risks involved."

Pairo knows himself too well.

He Biscuit the old woman quite a bit in his heart.

Once I take the medicine, I'll definitely tell you.

"Already considering an escape route? How meticulous."

I'm sitting across from you Rukira said seriously.

Ce, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer and complained, "I think he's just testing the waters, so he can prepare the medicine or the coffin."
