Those with Regrets X Those Yet Unfinished

In the Meeting Room.

Kevin sat there listlessly, his right hand on the table, his index finger rhythmically tapping the surface.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the steel ceiling above him, seemingly lost in thought.

Biscuit at the other corner of the table, didn't even look up.

Would you like some dessert?

A sweet voice rang in his ears, and a gentle finger poked Kevin's cheek.

Ah~

Kevin didn't say anything, he just opened his mouth wide.

Are you a child?

Although Melusina said this, her tone was full of affection as she took a piece of dessert from the dessert and put it in Kevin's mouth with a fork.

"It's delicious! Did you add anything new?"

Kevin straightened up and savored the taste.

He doesn't actually like desserts, but Melusina, who knows his tastes, can always make desserts that perfectly suit his preferences, to the point that he has now come to love desserts.

It's afternoon tea time now.

I picked up the tea that was at the perfect temperature and took a sip.

"Phew~"

He let out a sigh of relief.

It's hard to believe this is actually in the Dark Continent.

Melusina smiled at Kevin's question.

"It's Thick White Milk, you can't taste it anymore, can you?"

"It's that thing? How did you manage that?"

It hasn't been that long, and these two chefs have already made a lot of use of this stuff.

Melusina smiled and winked, a hint of smugness in her expression.

"After all, this hope looks like Milk, and it's highly nutritious, something that needs to be ingested—that's our area of expertise."

"Don't underestimate our professional capabilities, Kevin."

As he spoke, he reached out and tapped Kevin's forehead.

In terms of how to use this thing, Men Qi and Melusina have indeed made far more progress than Kevin and the others.

After all, Kevin only used it for making medicine.

The Koto is only used as Plant Nutrition.

Only Qiduo has a relatively in-depth understanding, but after all, it is in the field of medicine, and to go deeper requires a lot of time and samples, so it cannot be rushed.

Men Qi and Melusina's use of food is so fast and progressive that they are far ahead of the competition.

It has now been completely integrated into every dish, so you can't taste it at all, and the concentration of nutrients is just right.

What are you thinking about? You seem to be deep in thought today.

Everyone has been very busy these past few days.

The Infirmary now has four more cocoons.

Upon hearing Melusina's question, Kevin ate a couple more bites, leaned back in his chair, and appeared somewhat listless and lethargic.

"Thinking about the next steps in the plan suddenly brings up a lot of things, which is quite troublesome."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and paper from the table next to him and handed it over.

Melusina looked at the haphazard notes above.

Gravity Land, Youpi, Gale Grassland, Papu the Nurturing Beast.

These are all important things right now.

Moreover, each task, which could have been started immediately, was instead piled up all at once.

"It sounds strange, but we were definitely too relaxed before."

Melusina couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

For the past few months, they had been quite relaxed. Of course, this relaxation was not due to any external pressures on them, but rather because they were spontaneously exploring the outside world.

"The Gravity Land is not close to us; it would take a week to get there and back, and you would also need to explore and train inside."

"This is a long-term project, so it's definitely impossible to set off now. While other aspects carry some risks, with your current abilities, you should be able to handle them even if danger arises."

Melusina watched and began to help with the planning.

"The heart of the Youpi' means the same thing, so there's no use in being anxious."

"Papu the Nurturing Beast is even further away, and to be honest, only Jin is confirmed to be safe right now. We need to be even more careful if we go, and there's no way you can go. You are the one who must be confirmed to be safe."

The others are fine.

Kevin is the possessor of the Cocoon of Rebirth's Nen ability; only he can use it. How could we possibly send Kevin to the Unmanned Stone Range?

If Kevin gets infected, who will use the Cocoon of Rebirth?

So no matter what, Kevin can't move.

It's perfectly acceptable to continue having Kim lead the team.

He has been confirmed safe.

"Moreover, we can't rush the exploration here. After all, Jin and the others have just returned, and they need time to rest, recuperate, and review their experiences."

"So in the end, we still need to focus on exploring the Gale Grassland. The reason why the current situation there has arisen is also a question."

"Moreover, so many wild beasts have gathered here, all from places we haven't explored before. Perhaps the materials you need are among them."

After listening to Melusina's plans, Kevin smiled, hugged her, and rubbed her face.

"Melusina, you're so clever. How could I live without you?"

"Come on, don't give me that."

Melusina said, but the happy smile on her face was genuine, and she reached out and pinched Kevin's nose.

"Ahem, hey! Are you completely ignoring me? You two are so arrogant!"

Suddenly, Biscuit's disgruntled voice came from the side.

Then the two of them remembered that there was still one person left.

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Kevin's apology lacked sincerity.

Biscuit rolled her eyes, grabbed the notebook next to her, jumped off the chair, and stormed out.

"I really can't stand it."

I made a comment.

As soon as I stepped outside, I passed by Pairo and Shalnark, who were standing on the ground chatting about something.

Judging from their expressions, they were having a great chat.

Biscuit was passing by the two, rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Another couple has arrived.

This is the Dark Continent!

Be serious, everyone!

Shalnark looked at the furious Biscuit and tilted her head in surprise.

Pairo looked at the person who had only their backs to the two of them and whispered.

"Ignore her, that's just how menopausal women are."

"Bang!"

A flying kick came from behind.

Pairo was kicked flying.

The person who performed the flying kick landed, and their size had increased dramatically.

The bulging muscles were covered with blood vessels.

He clasped his fists together and cracked his knuckles.

"Really? This will show you just how irritable a menopausal woman can be."

Pairo took off running.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

Just as Pairo was being chased and beaten, a beeping sound came from the direction of the Infirmary.

This soft sound signaled to everyone that someone was about to wake up.

It's about time.

However, this time not everyone went to the gathering.

Only Qiduo was in the Infirmary. Even when Kevin, Jin, and the others went over, they just stood outside and waited quietly.

A short while later, the door was opened.

Qiduo came out.

People started to walk out one after another.

"I'm finally alive! This place definitely feels more realistic!"

The woman who rushed out in a flurry was Aimeimei, a cute woman who was only 1.6 meters tall.

Although she looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, she is actually in her thirties.

However, she didn't use any Nen ability to change her appearance; this is simply how she is.

Jin looked at her.

"Did you get double eyelid surgery?"

She noticed the change in Aimeimei at a glance.

Upon hearing this, Aimeimei smiled brightly and winked at Jin.

"How is it? Pretty, right?"

Aimeimei used to have one eyelid and one eyelid, and she was always dissatisfied with this small flaw, but she didn't want to get plastic surgery.

This subconscious pursuit of perfection made up for her small flaw, resulting in her current excellent mindset.

Then a tall man came out.

Zaharut.

"Ugh!"

Kim, Kevin, and the others gasped in surprise.

Because its size has increased significantly.

The original Zaharut was about 1.9 meters tall and looked like a muscular man.

But this time, he grew to 2.3 meters tall, a full 40 centimeters longer, and his size increased significantly.

Furthermore, there is a clear reorganization and distribution of the muscles in his body, indicating a significant and thorough transformation of his physique.

"Isn't it even more perfect than before! Muscles!"

Zaharut, who had just emerged, was very pleased with the surprised expressions on everyone's faces. He even stood there and struck a pose, showing off his muscles.

"Damn it, you're getting more and more of a blockage!"

Finally, a voice of dissatisfaction rang out; he stood at the door, completely blocking it.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I'm too strong now!" He walked away with an undisguised smug smile.

Next, Tuk and Tewashi came out together.

The two of them have hardly changed in appearance, and subconsciously they have no dissatisfaction with their appearance.

However, Kim noticed that the taller Tewashi had lowered his height by two centimeters.

Some people even try to reduce their height.

However, the four people who came out had their eyes wandering aimlessly, as if searching for something.

Just then, a figure rushed over from a distance.

It was Moxi.

Seeing that Moxi's appearance had also changed, but his temperament had not changed much, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiduo has just explained the current situation to them in the Infirmary.

Everyone gathered back in the Meeting Room.

"A change in Nen ability, perhaps?" Tewashi suddenly said.

Kevin nodded.

"That's right. The first person to use the Cocoon of Rebirth, Moxi, experienced a change in his Nen ability. We suspect the problem lies in the altered mind and state of mind brought about by that complete Dreamscape."

However, since there is only one case, it is impossible to determine whether the change was brought about by the Cocoon of Rebirth or by the complete Dreamscape.

Their preference for Dreamscape stems primarily from changes in their Nen ability, mainly due to shifts in their experiences and mindset.

This wasn't hard for the four people to guess after they woke up.

Clearly, some of them have also experienced a change in their Nen ability.

Tewashi nodded and said directly, "My Nen ability has changed. I think it's due to the change in mindset brought about by the complete Dreamscape."

"Now I realize my shortcomings and weaknesses, Dreamscape has helped me make up for them. I don't crave it—so if nothing unexpected happens, if I go through it again, the Flesh Bud Chairman."

His tone was full of confidence.

Moxi, who woke up before him, was in the same situation.

"I see. If it happens again, I'll probably Chairman Flesh Bud. My mindset isn't quite right yet."

"Aimeimei sighed and said."

She's the type with dreams and obsessions, and it's not something that can be resolved by a real Dreamscape, because she hasn't accomplished anything yet.

Both Moxi and Tewashi, after becoming Hunter x Hunter, worked hard to fulfill their dreams.

I don't have any major obsessions, just a slight sense of regret in my heart.

Dreamscape filled this void, making it easy for them to reconcile with the hidden regrets within themselves.

For those whose dreams remain unfulfilled, Dreamscape are ultimately just Dreamscape; they haven't succeeded in reality, so they naturally can't make up for it.

Zaharut and Tuk, the remaining two, both shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't do it either.

They also belong to the type who have unfulfilled dreams and unrealized goals.

"Have your Nen ability changed?"

Biscuit asked curiously.

After all, the three people's situations are different, so it's quite possible that their Nen ability won't change.

All three nodded.

"Everything has changed."

The others keenly noticed the difference in their spoken language.

Moxi's Nen ability has changed drastically.

The same logic applies to Tewashi.

However, these three individuals have undergone some changes, but it is clear that they may only have differed from their original selves, rather than experiencing significant changes.

Tewashi was the first to extend his hand.

He used to be Materialization Type, and he still is.

However, what appeared in his hand stunned everyone.

Originally, Tewashi's Materialization Type conjured a pair of Scissors that could cut, and its rule was that it could cut through anything.

Of course, in practical terms, there should be something that cannot be cut off so easily.

But at least so far, there's nothing that can't be cut off.

But now the Scissors have changed.

It turned into an exaggerated chainsaw.

"Your change is a bit extreme."

Tuk, watching from the side, was stunned for a moment, and then complained about his teammates.

Turning Scissors into a chainsaw is just too outrageous.

"Scissors —that's a symbolic representation of a regret from my childhood. I remember when I first developed my Nen ability, I was only thirteen."

"Tewashi muttered to himself."

He was very young at that time, and the Nen ability he developed were still highly symbolic.

It comes from my childhood experiences.

At that time, he was willing to do anything, even just a pair of Scissors.

But Tewashi is already thirty-six years old.

"To be honest, I'm grateful for that perfect Dreamscape. Without experiencing something so realistic, I might never have been able to reconcile."

He muttered to himself.

"Scissors are too cowardly, too weak."

"Have any rules changed?" Jin asked curiously.

He felt it would be some kind of enhancement.

Because chainsaws inherently possess the intention to break everything, and even extend beyond that.

"Scissors are sharp and cut through everything. But this chainsaw can saw through everything with a roar and can break through anything that is supposedly solid and rigid."

"And—horrible, evil, and unclean imagery."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

I think I understand a little now.

This is a pure improvement.

"What a big change!" Aimeimei couldn't help but exclaim.

She clapped her hands as she spoke.

A Strawberry Bear that looked like a doll appeared in front of me.

Then two smaller ones appeared, with a slightly different color, but not much difference in shape.

"Now it's the Strawberry Bear family."

A simple and straightforward improvement.

Zaharut made the fewest changes; he simply made his grenade throwing faster and more accurate.

Tuk's changes seem to be related to his experiences.

His original Nen ability was that Mechanical Bird, which could change size and perform auxiliary and offensive actions.

His Mechanical Bird now has the ability to transform, allowing it to become other, more modern mechanical types.

Of course, it still flies in the air.

Based on his experience, it can be inferred that he lived in a closed and impoverished area when he was a child and had almost no understanding of modern technological society.

He learned Nen ability under those circumstances.

Now that he has become accustomed to the new high technology, his Nen ability has naturally been enhanced under these circumstances.

Now we have five people, and we also have similar cross-validation.

It's pretty much confirmed.

The change came from Dreamscape that was indistinguishable from reality; at least, that's what the five people who experienced it all said.

In their view, it wasn't a dream; it was an experience they had gone through.

Now that I've woken up and had the evidence before and after, I've confirmed that the part in between, where I had no prior memories, was a dream.

Such a real experience brought about change in them.

They were supposed to die in their Dreamscape.

But Kevin's Cocoon of Rebirth brought them back to life, and the Cocoon of Rebirth has the power to reshape.

It means rebirth.

This sense of rebirth gave them the opportunity to change their Nen ability due to a shift in their mindset and thoughts.

They can now be roughly divided into two categories.

Those with regrets, those Unfulfilled Dreamer.

The changes in Nen ability are different.

When regrets are remedied, abilities change accordingly.

Competency has become the key to everything we have now.

Those Unfulfilled Dreamer are even more hopeful and persistent.

Abilities are enhanced by the motivation and expectations of one's mindset.
