"Such a powerful substance, why can't it be used in medicine?"

Kevin looked at the Golden Thread in his hand, somewhat helpless.

This is a "wish".

However, he also understood that although Golden Thread could not be used in medicine, the products derived from Golden Thread could.

However, the best use of Golden Thread is to modify an item that already has a Golden Thread.

Ideally, it should also fit the characteristics of the item.

Golden Thread is a consumable, but it can achieve the same purpose in different uses.

The key is to minimize consumption, since Golden Thread is so rare.

Creating something from nothing is the most convenient and fastest method.

But it also consumes the most resources.

In the Dreamscape, the Overlord only provided an explanation, but did not tell Kevin how to obtain more Golden Thread.

It might just be a perk for the Lord, and they might stop giving it to him later.

Therefore, each of these Golden Thread in his hands is one less to be used, and this thing has become Kevin's most precious treasure.

However, there's no need to worry too much about preserving it, because unless you have the authority of Lord, you won't even be able to touch the Golden Thread.

Kevin looked at the five Golden Thread he had left in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and put them away.

I originally had one, but now I only have five left, because I used the rest on my previous plan.

Looking at the table in front of me.

These are the works he has created in the last few days.

[The Master of Stealth][Kairos][Nen Sand][Space Orb][Unmanned Stone][Wish Golden Thread]

These five items together constitute what he needs most right now.

A Nen tool.

[Book of Teleportation]

Teleportation that ignores distance—that's the ultimate goal of all this.

Using the book itself as a framework, it is combined with elements that divide the individual's timeline in two, then constructed with versatile materials like Nen Sand, and given the space attributes by Space Gem. Finally, it is inlaid with Unmanned Stone to supply energy.

The Golden Thread are then used to fill and fuse the gaps, achieving the effect Kevin desired.

It is precisely because there are so many materials, and because Kevin constructed them to match their properties.

So there are still a few Golden Thread left after the consumption.

The book in front of them was also extremely large, measuring 30 centimeters wide, 60 centimeters high, and 5 centimeters thick.

This is definitely a large book.

The cover of the book is a picture of a starry sky, with a spherical planet at the very center.

Kevin brought the book to the Meeting Room in the ship's cabin.

People entered one after another.

The first thing you see is that huge book floating in the center of the table.

"What is this? A storybook?"

The Three-Tails jumped directly onto the table.

Kevin lifted the other person down in one swift motion.

"Don't step on the table like that, it's very impolite."

"Oh."

Once everyone had arrived at the Meeting Room, their eyes all turned to Kevin and the enormous book floating in the center of the table.

"Is this the result of your work these past few days?"

Biscuit looked around at the book and asked, "I can't judge its abilities from the book for the time being."

But at least Biscuit knew that this book should be the same one as the previous one Master of Stealth.

"That's right, something that can revolutionize our exploration."

Upon hearing Kevin's exaggerated assessment, everyone immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.

"The framework for this book is the same as the previous book, the one I modified."

The results of the previous modifications to the books were not satisfactory, so Kevin sealed them away, intending to reuse them later when he had the means.

I didn't expect it to be useful so quickly.

"This book's ability is teleportation, and the teleportation distance is unlimited, at least for now. It can even teleport you from the East Coast to the West Coast shore of Lake Mobius without any problem."

Upon hearing this, Morel immediately stood up.

"Can it teleport that far? Does that mean we can ignore the vast distances of the Dark Continent? Does that mean we can return to human society at any time?"

Faced with Morel's question, Kevin gestured for him to calm down.

Morel coughed, realizing he had gotten too excited, and sat back down.

But there's no way I can't know.

This kind of teleportation that ignores distance sounds incredibly exaggerated.

In the past, they definitely wouldn't have believed it; there must have been some very serious restrictions.

But now they believe it.

Because every single material and treasure Kevin possesses is something beyond imagination.

"Let me first explain how to use this book. First, we need to construct an organizational structure, which is the previous Dark Probe, and then imprint the mark of that organizational structure."

He then showed everyone the diamond-shaped probe pattern that had already been printed on his arm.

Gon also looked at the pattern on his hand.

This mark has remained unless the book is destroyed or Kevin specifically removes it.

The current structure is based on the original book, so some things have naturally been retained.

"However, the number of people it can accommodate is now nine, meaning only nine people can use this book, including the owner."

As he spoke, Kevin waved his hand.

The book floating in the middle opened and turned to the first page.

The mark of the Dark Probe is printed in the center of the first page, and the owner's name is printed on the second page.

Kevin's full name was clearly written on it.

On the third page, there was only one name written on it: Gon.

Sort by spaces, and you can write down exactly eight names.

The fourth page was blank, and then the pages rustled as they turned.

I flipped through ten pages at once.

From page four to page thirteen, it suddenly shattered and turned into golden sand.

However, a semi-transparent, film-like sheet of paper remained in the book.

The thickness remains, seemingly indicating a defect.

These fragments of gold dust merged together and became a normal book.

Then come pages fourteen through twenty-three.

They used the same trick again, and it turned into a completely different script.

The first notebook that appeared ended up in Kevin's hands, and the other notebook ended up in Gon's hands.

The notebook that landed in their hands was thin, with a picture of Dark Probe on the cover.

The first page they opened had their names written on it.

Then came ten blank sheets of paper.

"How do I use this?"

Gon flipped through the notebook in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

Kiy was also nearby, watching and wanting to touch it, but she refrained.

"This is how it's used; the transmitted coordinates are based on the two people recorded in the book."

Kevin then proceeded to demonstrate for everyone.

He turned to the second page of the notebook and then placed his hand on it.

Gon's name immediately appeared above.

Gon, on the other side, suddenly seemed to be reminded and opened his book.

It turned to the second page as well.

Kevin's name appeared directly on the second page.

A new font has also appeared below.

[Tear the pages out of the book and throw them onto the empty space in front of him.]

The same text appeared on Kevin's book, clearly a message Kevin was conveying to the other party.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gon did as instructed, gently tearing off the page perfectly.

After tearing it off, Gon immediately knew what to do and threw the paper in front of him.

Kevin tore out a page from the book and threw it in front of him, creating a large spherical space.

Like a bubble, it was translucent and floated in front of me, about three meters in diameter.

Kevin simply jumped straight into the bubble.

On the other side, Gon's book pages transformed into the same thing, except that the bubbles on Gon's side were not transparent, but pure black.

Suddenly the bubbles started to sparkle.

Kevin's figure disappeared into the bubble he was in, and then the bubble burst and he vanished.

The pure black bubble in front of Gon also burst, but Kevin fell out of it.

"Do you understand now?"

Everyone watched from the sidelines the whole time, not missing a single detail.

"It's not teleportation, it's an exchange, right?"

Kurapika seemed to have figured something out and immediately spoke up.

Kevin turned to look at him, gave him a thumbs up, and nodded.

"That's right, it's basically about swapping the spaces inside the two bubbles to achieve teleportation."

"Because the coordinates are based on book pages, once a page from two books has been linked, tearing off the page will not affect the loss of the coordinate points."

"Therefore, even the user themselves can be teleported in this way."

"After the exchange, the bubble will burst, and the exchanged item will fall directly to the ground, at an almost infinite distance."

Gon flipped through the book in his hands.

"One page is missing."

"That's right, that's the consumption. We each have ten pages in our books, and one page is necessary to write our names to confirm, so we can only use nine pages."

"And each time these nine pages are transmitted, one page is lost, because transmission requires two coordinates, so each transmission consumes two pages of paper."

As he spoke, Kevin held up the book in his hand.

"The parent copy itself cannot produce pages, nor can it obtain supplements from the parent copy."

"To fill in the gaps in the book, you have to get a new copy from the original book after you've used up the old one."

"And the new book can only be created by me, the owner, using the original copy."

Looking at the book in Kevin's hand, everyone understood that even Kevin himself couldn't teleport through the original book.

The functions of the parent plant and the daughter plant are different.

The ability to transmit data between each other is a function unique to the sub-version.

Creating a child copy requires an additional page from the parent copy, because this page needs to have the owner's name written on it.

This single sheet of paper represents the waste.

After explaining, Kevin pointed to the mother model floating in the middle.

"To add more pages to this main Book of Teleportation, we need to provide materials."

"It requires the Nen Sand, the Unmanned Stone. The Unmanned Stone mainly provides energy, so you can also use your own Nen Aura to infuse it to make it."

"Similarly, Nen Sand can also be used as a substitute, but it requires an item of the same nature as Nen Sand, that is, an item that can transfer Nen Aura almost without loss."

After hearing Kevin's explanation, everyone looked at the Book of Teleportation floating in front of them, and many thoughts were already forming in their minds.

"So next time you go to the Dark Continent, you're definitely planning to split into different teams and head to different destinations, right?"

Biscuit looked at Kevin and asked.

Kevin nodded; that was exactly what he thought.

"Because only nine names can be written, for safety reasons, the team will be divided into two groups."

One team will return to our own base camp, while the other team will need to travel to a location further away from our base camp.

Simply put, it's the location of other hopes.

After all, they currently lack a true understanding of the specific circumstances and resources available in other places.

What we truly understand are actually those other places where hope resides.

Therefore, they naturally become the priority targets.

Biscuit nodded slightly; this was a good way to divide the teams.

There are nine people after all.

To prevent unexpected issues, it's essential to leave spaces, and there should be at least two of these spaces.

Ideally, there should be three.

So, there are six people registered, each with a copy, and they can exchange copies with each other.

There must be at least two people at the coordinates for teleportation; otherwise, if there is only one person, there is a high chance that they will not be able to teleport in time or will be unable to return after teleporting.

Ideally, there should still be three people.

Therefore, splitting into two teams is the best option.

"So, is it possible to teleport between human society and the Dark Continent?"

Morel still cares a lot about this.

However, Kevin shook his head slightly.

"To be honest, I'm not sure, because all the functions in this book are designed to maximize the teleportation distance, so there's no way to guarantee other aspects."

"Because there is a high possibility of spatial interference, and spatial interference is not a truncation in the middle, but rather the space between two coordinates is unstable, or in other words, there is interference or obstruction."

The most typical example is the Folded Zone they are familiar with.

The Folded Zone must be an enclosed space.

Of course, the interference mentioned here refers to the interior of the Folded Zone, not the area that was originally above the Folded Zone, because the area above itself is not disturbed by space.

"Based on our current knowledge and theoretical speculation, the way to avoid the extinction of a race is to isolate a certain area and then recuperate within it."

"Such partitions definitely have Space Attribute; I suspect human society is the same, so you understand."

At this point, Kevin shrugged helplessly.

Morel thought about it carefully and then sighed.

You're right.

He was an Ocean Hunter by nature, spending his days sailing the seas.

He was very clear about the difference between the Inner Sea and Outer Sea.

It's as if it's been separated by a high sea wall.

Otherwise, the only way to reach the Dark Continent wouldn't be through the Gatekeeper's location.

In other places, they all resort to smuggling, and none of these smuggling methods are legitimate; they sail out to the Outer Sea.

Because there is a partition in the middle, and it is a physical partition.

Because Inner Sea is essentially a region that is sunken in the middle of a lake.

Therefore, there is a difference in sea level between the Outer Sea.

Does this situation create a spatial separation? At least for now, it's speculated that it does.

Otherwise, we can't simply avoid the danger of forcing countless races to change their evolutionary paths just because of distance.

Pairo chuckled and patted Morel on the shoulder.

"There's nothing to regret. After all, exploring the Dark Continent is a choice made by giving up a comfortable life."

Qiduo looked at the book, shook her head, and sighed.

"Teleportation that completely ignores distance? That's outrageous."

In human society, regardless of distance, teleportation was essentially limited to a few thousand kilometers.

Most Nen ability that involve teleportation are inherently limited by distance; it's just that the distances in human society aren't that great yet, so they don't become apparent.

Once it reaches the exaggerated size of the Dark Continent?

Who else dares to speak of infinite distance?

That's not just ten or twenty times larger than human society, it's hundreds or thousands of times larger.

But now they've come up with something that truly ignores distance.
