Return X Big Eater

The Black Orb floating in front of them exploded.

After the two Black Orb exploded, the five people landed on the ground.

On one side were Kevin, Melusina, and the other three, including Qi.

On one side were Buhaci and Men Qi.

Men Qi was pressed against Buhaci's belly.

After landing, I patted Buhaci's belly. Sitting in this teleportation bubble with Buhaci, there's always one less person's seat.

It's right next to Qiduo.

As soon as they landed, Qiduo came over, walked around them, and nodded after confirming that there were no problems.

Then he went to Buhaci's side and looked at his arm.

"Even if a severed limb grows back, there will still be some residue; it's clear that it's not absolutely perfect."

She easily saw which arm had regrown, reached out and pinched it, touched it, and then scanned it with her Nen ability.

How is it to use?

Buhaci shook his arm, clenched his fist, and shook his head.

"It's not much different from before, the only difference is the color."

Men Qi ignored their conversation and instead looked around.

They were now clearly in a spacious, warehouse-like area, the entire room was large and empty.

If you look closely, you'll also find concentric circles of the God Text) around the room.

It's probably used for reinforcement or something.

"This is a specially constructed teleportation room, a closed space that has eliminated some potentially influencing factors."

Seeing Men Qi's gaze, Morel said with a smile.

"Fine."

They all went outside together.

Once outside, the entire Small Town seemed to have been completely transformed in the short time I had been away.

"The difference between now and when we left is huge."

As soon as Men Qi came out, she looked around and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

When they left, this place was at most a small medieval village, except that it had electricity.

The surrounding houses were all built of wood, with minimal exterior finishing.

But things are different now.

Now many modern buildings have appeared around here, such as in front.

In the very center of the Small Town stands a building that appears to be about six stories high, the tallest building in the entire Small Town, apart from the watchtowers on the outskirts.

A flag was hanging from the top of the building.

Dark Probe.

This place was clearly used as the headquarters.

The original wooden houses were almost entirely demolished and replaced with wooden brick houses.

The overall style leans more towards a modern, yet charming, Small Town.

You can even see people coming and going.

"Let's go, I'll take you to an empty house, you can choose one," Morel said, waving to Men Qi and the others.

Gon then pulled Qi away and disappeared.

Kevin, along with Melusina, followed Qiduo and Jin to the headquarters in the center.

"Has anything happened these past few days?"

Kevin asked.

He thought nothing would happen while he was away.

After all, the entire exploration team on the Dark Continent has fewer than a hundred people, and they should all be in the adaptation period now, which should be the most stable time.

Qiduo said a few things from the side, and Jin added some more.

Kevin nodded slightly after listening.

"I see."

Even within the territory he designated, there was a certain degree of risk; the only truly safe place was probably the Small Town itself.

Even the short distance of several dozen kilometers from the Small Town to the middle of the port could be fraught with danger.

Try to recall carefully the situation when Kevin and his group first arrived on the Dark Continent.

Incidents of injury and poisoning are indeed quite common.

However, they were very vigilant at the time.

The exploration was not fragmented; throughout the entire adaptation period, Kevin personally led the team to gradually adapt.

If you are injured, take medicine immediately.

If poisoning occurs, an antidote should be administered immediately.

Even if Kevin were there, he would have been able to avoid a potentially fatal danger.

In addition, the medicine was effective enough.

That's why we got through it safely.

The most important point is inside the Snake Nest.

The safety of the Snake Nest is beyond doubt, after all, the Resentful Eater Snake Lord has transformed himself into a kind of scattered Resentment, completely filling the inside of the Snake Nest.

Not to mention small animals, even some small insects dare not stay in here.

As a result, the entire environment, apart from that chilling Resentment, became very clean and safe.

You could lie down anywhere in Snake Nest for the night without encountering any risks.

"I understand. I will conduct a more thorough cleaning later. You can organize some people to eliminate any remaining hazards along the road from the Small Town to the port."

After discussing it, the matter was decided.

Night.

As everyone gathered.

Finally able to rest Men Qi and his two companions began to show off their skills.

Previously, on the other side, exploration was not guaranteed, so we returned to the state we were in when we first arrived at the Dark Continent, and were on high alert.

This situation continued for several days, and physical and mental exhaustion kept piling up.

I feel much more relaxed now that I'm back here.

Finally, I was able to properly showcase my culinary skills and enjoy a delicious meal.

However, since there are many people now, the food is mainly grilled.

A huge leg of an unidentified animal became the main course of the banquet, placed on a large solid wood table.

The entire giant leg is eight meters long and 1.2 meters wide, covered with meat and sprinkled with seasonings.

The aroma suddenly burst forth, filling the entire square.

The surrounding tables were also filled with side dishes.

Piyon took a piece from the wooden plate, cut it off, and put it in his mouth.

"Um!"

He covered his mouth, chewing, his face filled with shock.

Looking at Zai Kang beside him.

"You've been eating this all along?"

Since the chefs, led by Men Qi, were selected to form another Exploration Team, their food after arriving on the Dark Continent was not much different from what they ate on the ship.

So much so that they assumed this was how people ate in the Dark Continent.

But things are clearly different now.

When Zai Kang was exploring the Dark Continent with Kevin, he ate like this from time to time without thinking anything was wrong, so he nodded.

"What's wrong?"

You deserve to die!

Piyon grabbed him by the collar and swung him from side to side, leaving Zai Kang completely bewildered.

"A woman who's acting strangely."

"He's crazy."

Qi, who was walking by, blurted out the answer and habitually corrected himself.

"I... I'm full?"

Yinda stared at the plate in his hand, completely stunned.

He had just cut a piece of meat about the size of a steak and placed it on his plate. After eating it, he felt a sense of fullness, and with his control over his body, he knew that he had consumed too much energy.

If you haven't eaten much, but your body is telling you you're full, it means you've had too much energy, and the sudden rush of energy is causing your body to resist food.

As digestion progresses, more energy is absorbed by the body, which can make him feel overeating.

Porto ate slowly beside him, savoring the experience.

"I'm almost there too."

This frustrated him somewhat, since the roasted leg of meat was truly delicious.

You can't find anything this delicious in human society; everything from the ingredients and seasonings to the cooking skills is top-notch.

"Hehehe, now you know the advantage of being powerful, right? If you're powerful enough, you can even enjoy the delicious food a little longer."

Netero chuckled as he spoke from the side.

After all, he had broken through his limits several years ago thanks to the medicine left behind by Kevin, so his intake of food energy naturally exceeded that of others.

"Would you like to have a competition, Chairman?"

Jin suddenly became interested and ran over to ask.

Netero looked at Kim, his eyes narrowed, a hint of Fighting Spirit emanating from him.

"Oh? Hmph, then let's give it a try."

Although he might not be able to match Jin's appetite, he would certainly accept the challenge.

Isn't that interesting?

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

"What competition? I want to participate!"

Gon ran over, raised his hand, and indicated that he also wanted to participate.

Seeing Gon and Qi, Buhaci also ran over and pointed to himself.

"A competitive eating contest?"

Isn't this a sure win?

The commotion attracted people from the surrounding area, and more and more people joined in.

Quan Delai touched his bald head, eager to try.

A Satin flew over, bound him tightly, and dragged him back.

Jie Mei merely gave him a cold look.

Ce, who was standing next to him, adjusted his glasses, while Berolete crouched down and said with a smile.

"Idiot, you've already eaten a piece. Don't you realize you're full? If you eat any more, you definitely won't be able to digest it all during your workout tomorrow."

The banquet had been going on for a while, and the newcomers had already eaten a small piece of meat. Their bodies were quickly filled with a feeling of fullness, making it impossible for them to participate in this so-called competitive eating contest.

I think it's alright.

Quan Delai stood up and rubbed his stomach.

Ce chimed in from the side, "That's because I took just the right amount. I won't feel too full after eating, and I can digest it slowly for tomorrow's exercise."

"So leave this to me." Berolete patted Quan Delai on the shoulder, grinning as she ran over.

Soon, all the participants had gathered.

Kevin sat down next to him and watched.

I don't know how this suddenly happened, but it's interesting.

Without exception, all the participants had previously explored the Dark Continent.

The V6 members were already full from their meal and did not participate.

Let me help you divide the food.

Suddenly, Qiduo laughed and scanned the fleshy leg in front of her. Then, she made a knife with one hand and began to slash.

The meat leg in front of me was immediately divided into pieces of varying sizes, but each piece contained the same amount of nutrients and energy.

Absolute fairness.

"Therefore, I hereby declare the first ever gluttony competition in the Dark Continent to begin!"

Men Qi became a host without anyone noticing.

The participants immediately began eating, though not in a hurry, though they ate quite quickly.

"Kurapika!"

Nion waved and cheered from the sidelines, while Rosana stood nearby with a smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Kurapika silently increased his speed.

Pairo, who was standing next to him, glanced at him.

"You bastard."

Then, amidst cheers and encouragement, he precisely caught the sound of the Shalnark.

It also started to accelerate.

"Tsk."

Because he was eating, Kurapika only smacked his lips once.

The two of them rolling up their food immediately affected the other team members, and everyone's eating speed increased instantly.

Soon, Morel's condition deteriorated.

He covered his mouth and was the first to withdraw from the competition.

Berolete followed closely behind.

These two Manipulation Type are not good at eating, digesting, and strengthening their bodies.

The battle was fierce.

Kevin glanced silently at Biscuit beside him.

"Biscuit, why aren't you participating?"

Biscuit glared at him and kicked him in the shin.

"You want to put a lady in a competitive eating contest? You unfilial disciple!"

She then pointed to herself and said, "Do I look like I can eat a lot?"

"Hmm?" Kevin asked, puzzled.

It just slipped out.

"Then you can just say it's nothing, it really doesn't seem like it."

Under Biscuit's murderous gaze, Kevin silently shut his mouth.

"Ta-da!"

Melusina's voice rang out, and she held two desserts in her hands, handing one to Biscuit and the other to Kevin.

The three of them stood there watching, eating their desserts.

Who do you think will win in the end?

Melusina suddenly asked.

Kevin thought for a moment, then pointed at Gon.

I think Gon should be able to win.

"How could that be? It must be Buhaci!" Biscuit immediately retorted.

How could this possibly belong to someone else?

What are your thoughts?

Biscuit's eyes conveyed this question.

Kevin simply shrugged and didn't answer.

Melusina thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose Qi."

The situation on the field was extremely tense and intense.

"It won't work."

Finally, Kurapika and Pairo stopped and covered their mouths; they were truly stuffed.

"It's a pity, two more contestants have been eliminated."

Men Qi was still shouting loudly.

It wasn't until he withdrew from the race that Pairo's eyes lit up and he noticed something that surprised him.

At that moment, Shalnark was also standing on the field, quietly eating. Was that cheering voice coming from right next to her ear?

"Haha, you're not even as good as Shalnark, are you? Are you even capable?"

Nion, standing nearby, made a sarcastic remark without any restraint.

"Go away, get out of here!"

Pairo waved his hand as if shooing away flies.

The situation on the field was now very clear.

Netero, King, Gon, Killua, Buhaci, Shalnark.

There were six people in total.

"Can Shalnark eat that much?"

Biscuit was somewhat surprised.

Looking at the field, you can see that the remaining players are either Enhancement Type or have become very strong in Enhancement Type- type after training.

Enhancement Type have a unique advantage in this regard.

Secondly, the Emission Type and Transmutation Type, being close to the Enhancement Type, also have an advantage in this area.

The only Shalnark remaining on the field that was relatively far from the Enhancement Type was the Materialization Type.

In other words, it's purely a matter of innate talent.

She can really eat!

At this moment, Shalnark Di remained expressionless, continuing to eat at a pace no slower than the others, and even seemed to be handling it with ease.

Biscuit watched, her eyes darting around.

Suddenly, he pulled out a gemstone.

It's a pure, transparent color, like a diamond.

I've never seen Kevin before.

"This is one of my most prized possessions, hmph."

As he spoke, he tossed it over, and it landed in the air, where it was lifted up by his Nen Aura.

Men Qi immediately understood.

"Now there's a prize: the winner gets Soul-Protecting Diamond, which provides some mental protection when worn. It's a very valuable collectible for Biscuit."

Kevin immediately remembered this thing.

This is a by-product of the mining of Myriad-Colored Stone.

It must have been obtained from the territory of the Wearer Ghost.

Thinking of this, Kevin also took out a potion and tossed it over.

"Oh, another one. It's Kevin's potion. Judging by its appearance, it's at least an A-Rank potion. Given Kevin's generosity, he definitely won't disappoint as a prize."

Men Qi immediately started increasing his bets.

The remaining people immediately became enthusiastic.
