Bearing Offspring X S-Rank Materials

After closing the fortune-telling shop.

The group strolled around the square, chatting as they went.

Because of the whale feast, Bonfire party was also held in the square.

There are now nearly 100 people in the Small Town.

The area around the Bonfire looked rather lively.

I just came out.

Then I saw Rosana chatting with Pairo and Shalnark.

Pairo looked slightly embarrassed, and Shalnark even blushed.

That's an exaggeration.

Did Shalnark blush?

Biscuit was the first to run over, followed closely by Melusina and the others.

As Kevin and his friends walked over, they heard the group of girls gasping in surprise.

Kevin also saw Melusina roll her eyes at him.

What's wrong now?

Nion walked over again, gripped Kurapika's hand tightly, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"W-what's wrong?"

Kurapika sensed something was wrong.

Rosana also came over to look at her son, her eyes filled with disappointment and disappointment.

"Mother?"

"Pairo and Shalnark are planning to have a baby, what about you?"

"What?!"

This news greatly shocked Kurapika.

He ran over in a few strides, grabbed Pairo, and pulled him over.

Kevin raised an eyebrow as well.

"Pairo, is that really what you think?"

Pairo nodded.

"What's wrong with that? I'm not young anymore."

As he spoke, his expression darkened slightly.

"When my dad was my age, I was already able to run around everywhere."

Kurapika thought about it and realized it was true.

While the Kurta Clan don't typically marry at a very young age, it's very normal for them to get married and have children around the age of 20.

They're both almost twenty-five or twenty-six now.

Back when they were still part of a tribal community, children their age would certainly be running around on the ground.

The group of people gathered there, attracting others to come over as well.

Kurapika looked at Pairo.

Thinking back to when they were kids, Pairo once said that Nion was a woman with ill intentions who had wanted to take Kurapika down from the very beginning.

At that time Pairo still looked down on women.

Now we're ahead of the game.

Pairo had already prepared his explanation, and with his arms crossed, he said, "This is for the continuation of the Kurta Clan; this is our duty."

Responsibility, isn't it?

The ability to Fiery Red Eye is definitely worth continuing.

After all, it truly does enhance Nen ability.

After saying that, he explained further.

"I definitely wouldn't have thought this way before, but things are different now. The area around the territory has been explored, and the neighbors are all quite friendly."

"The territory itself is thriving, and conditions in all aspects are ripe. I should be the first to do it; it's my duty."

Okay, okay, that sounds very dignified.

"This is a brave young man, but I do indeed wish to see new life born on the Dark Continent."

Netero stroked his beard as he spoke.

This is something that will inevitably happen in the future, and it's good that Pairo is the first to do it.

Kevin stroked his chin, deep in thought.

The conditions are indeed ripe now.

The Small Town's infrastructure is undoubtedly excellent; its medical care, housing, and environmental safety are all top-notch.

They knew all the neighbors, and most importantly, they understood the ecological environment and situation of the entire Overlord's territory.

It can be said that the conditions are now safe, and the Small Town has truly settled down.

Having offspring is indeed something that can be put on the agenda.

"And Kurapika, you need to know that the stronger you are, the lower your chances of having offspring. If you don't hurry, the chances will be a gamble."

Both of them had a mission to continue the Kurta Clan.

Hearing Pairo's ramblings, Kurapika started to panic.

"That's true, Kurapika, you should cherish this opportunity."

Kevin patted Kurapika on the shoulder and said in a serious tone.

"Uncle, you should really worry about yourself."

Kurapika rolled his eyes.

Tsk, how can this kid talk like that?

Netero, Morel, and Nobu all turned their attention to Kevin.

The others who had just arrived and were halfway through the conversation also looked at Kevin.

"What kind of looks are those? I have no problem; it's just that my life level is too high, understand? My strength is too great, do you understand?"

This needs to be properly explained.

"At the Knight Rank, the chances of life reproducing are relatively high, but the stronger one is, the more luck is required."

"If it's a breakthrough using human strength, the first breakthrough would probably be a major hurdle."

There is no specific data; this mainly comes from Qiduo's speculation and various analyses.

"Before the first hurdle, there weren't any major problems, but once that hurdle was overcome, and humanity broke through its limits for the first time, the ability to reproduce began to decline."

However, in turn, one's talent for bearing offspring will also increase accordingly.

For insights into eugenics, one can look at the Zoldyck Family.

Of course, rigorous education is also necessary.

However, their talent is indeed above average.

If you win the lottery, you'll encounter an individual with an extremely powerful talent like Qishou.

Without breaking through the limits of humanity, one's life level will always remain that of an ordinary human. The children born will only have slightly better talents than normal people, and how much better depends on fate.

Once the limits of human potential are broken, the level of life clearly changes, and the offspring born will inevitably be stronger than humans, and absolutely no worse.

"Once the first hurdle is overcome, and humanity breaks the first limit, but the population is below 1 million, the chances of both species producing offspring should decrease significantly."

"However, there's no data available, which is perfect for Pairo to fill in the gaps in our data."

Pairo was sweating profusely beside him.

"But once it exceeds one million, that's troublesome; the individual life evolution can be considered a completely different species."

"Although there is no reproductive isolation, the chances are already extremely low, and to truly reproduce, the other party must be of the same level."

This is why Melusina also wants offspring, but she can only improve her strength first.

The main reason is that I hadn't thought of this before, and Kevin's strength improved too quickly.

However, not everyone is qualified to reach the Lord Level.

What if one person reaches that point, but the other doesn't have the talent?

Then both parties would directly lose the possibility of having offspring.

The threshold of one million is for all races; moving above that represents a sublimation of life.

"This is truly a world of the strong."

Nobu muttered something under his breath, as if he were making a complaint.

Gon and Qima, who hadn't participated in the conversation but had only listened for a while before leaving, walked silently by the Bonfire.

"Giving birth—"

Gon muttered to himself.

"What are you thinking about? Do you have a girl you like?" Qishou suddenly asked, sounding a bit gossipy.

"Do you like it? I haven't really thought about it. But I hope my child's mother will be like Aunt Mito in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qikuang recalled for a moment and couldn't help but nod.

"I definitely can't end up like my mom."

These words made Gon recall the events, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

That's true.

"But I have to learn from my dad."

Qishou still respected his father very much, and he thought his father was quite good, especially when there was a comparison.

"Really? Anyway, I can't end up like my dad."

Gon respects his father quite a bit, but he doesn't feel that his father has fulfilled any of his responsibilities as a father, especially since he is now in his early twenties.

He knew his father hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, but he didn't care.

But it's true that Aunt Mito raised him all by herself, which must have been quite tough for her.

If he wants his future children's mother to be like Aunt Mito, then he cannot be like his own father.

"Right, Jin really isn't good enough."

Qima made a comment.

Gon added, trying to salvage the situation for Jin, saying, "However, Jin taught me a lot later on as well."

Since their first exploration of the Dark Continent, Gon and Ging have been spending significantly more time together.

With everyone's guidance and the father and son's own thoughts, there was much more communication and discussion.

It was only at this time that Jin began to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, teaching Gon many things.

The two who were talking suddenly stopped in their tracks, because they saw that not far ahead, Three-Tails was playing with Nanika and another person.

The two silently turned around and returned the way they came.

"Let's talk about children's issues later."

Yes, yes.

The Three-Tails is terrifying.

In the sky.

A giant rhinoceros Unicorn Horn flaps its wings and takes flight.

Finally, it slowly landed on the outskirts of the Small Town, inside a specially designed Insect Nest structure.

Pakunoda and Pons jumped off the Unicorn Horn beetle's back.

"You're finally back. Let's hurry and take the materials over; Mr. Kevin must be very busy."

Kevin, whom others described as busy at this moment.

He was lying on a deck chair, sunbathing.

Biscuit threw the materials at Kevin, hitting him squarely.

Why are you getting more and more carefree lately?

Kevin picked up the material inside the glass ball, examined it, nodded in satisfaction, and put it into his ring.

"Did they get their hands on Pakunoda?"

"Well, after training for so long, it's time for them to start truly adapting to the environment of the Dark Continent."

"Not bad. Although there are some seriously injured people, no one has died yet. A good start."

Biscuit spoke, she walked over and poured herself a cup of black tea from the coffee table.

He then picked up the snacks next to him and started eating them.

"It tastes pretty good. Is this a new product Melusina made for you? You're really getting more and more like a nobleman."

After resting for a while, Biscuit looked at Kevin was still comfortably basking in the sun.

"I remember you weren't like this last time. Last time you were always in such a hurry, but now you're so calm and collected."

Kevin looked at Biscuit and said with a smile.

"You'd better be like me. We've already obtained Longevity Rice. Although I don't need to use it, my lifespan has indeed reached the point of becoming an immortal species."

"You're not bad either. When your lifespan exceeds five hundred years and begins to approach a thousand or even several thousand years, you'll have to start adapting to the life of an immortal being."

Qiduo's research on Longevity Rice has reached a promising stage.

A normal person who has never exceeded their limit.

Consume Longevity Rice.

Its lifespan is approximately 500 years.

Knight Rank powerhouse who has broken through the limits once.

When using Longevity Rice, lifespan can reach a thousand years.

This is still based on speculation and conservative estimates.

As for Kevin...

Have no idea.

Doubling one's lifespan by a thousand years is nothing special.

"If one's mindset cannot be adjusted, the growth of strength and the use of Longevity Rice will only bring harm."

Kevin is now beginning to understand what it means to Heart Training.

How old was Dong?

It's conservatively estimated to be no more than three or four hundred years old.

Now, Dong is definitely at the Lord Level.

According to the other person's life trajectory, they may have just entered their youth.

If Dong didn't have that kind of goal to explore, and didn't have a firm will.

For a race like humans, whose civilization, education, and mentality are short-lived, becoming a long-lived species would easily lead to problems.

At this point, humanity's rich emotions, thoughts, and will become a hindrance.

Fortunately, Nen ability have a unique characteristic.

Those who lack strong willpower would not have grown to this stage.

But Kevin does have a problem.

His Nen ability granted strength to many people whose willpower was not strong enough.

If this continues...

The negative effects are not immediately apparent, but if you extend the timeframe...

The harm will gradually increase.

"But I'm just speculating, after all, I'm still young."

To everyone's surprise Biscuit stood up at that moment, looking excited.

So, I guess I really am a young girl now.

Kevin fell silent.

He silently stood up.

"Well, now that the materials have arrived, I realize I still have things to do."

"Bang!"

"You brat! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Kevin, who had been punched, silently went into the Pharmaceutical Room.

He tossed it out of his hand.

The materials floated in the air.

A large pile of materials was floating in the air at that moment.

These are all things that might be used.

At the very center is the S-Rank material obtained through a trade.

"Space Vein."

Have you decided how you want to use this material?

Melusina, standing nearby with a tablet, asked.

Kevin nodded.

"When I first got my hands on this material, I had a detailed conversation with the Dragon Turtle about its origin."

According to him, the material was obtained from a malicious creature that tried to burrow into his home.

Of."

Kevin reached out and pinched the tendon.

"You should know that his home was concealed and crammed into a spatial interlayer, and any creature that could squeeze into it must possess spatial characteristics."

"This material is S-Rank, without a doubt, it's the main material of that Lord Level creature. Based on its characteristics, it must possess spatial Specialization."

Interestingly, both S-Rank materials are related to space.

However, the Black Orb represents the expansion and stability of space; it possesses its own inherent space.

The tendon in front of us must be affecting the space.

Although they both possess Space Attribute, their characteristics are different.

"If successful, this will be my first S-Rank material, even if it's the lowest tier. But it's undoubtedly another step forward."

As he spoke, Kevin flicked the tendon in the air.

The air was distorted, or rather, space itself was distorted.

"The S-Rank materials are truly outrageous; even if they're not used for pharmaceuticals, these materials are among the top-tier in themselves."

D-Rank materials are just ordinary things that have practical significance.

CB-Rank depends on the situation; some are considered utterly useless and meaningless by humans.

But it may essentially contain some essence of these organisms, thus becoming material.

Kevin's Nen ability is essentially about extracting the concepts of a creature's Specialization from the material and creating a potion.

Things change starting from A-Rank.

Materials starting from A-Rank may inherently possess these properties, making them valuable even if not used in pharmaceuticals.

All the major hopes are included here.

Kevin's use in pharmaceuticals is just one of his applications.

S-Rank, that's even more so.

Using it for pharmaceuticals might not even be the best use.

Potions made from A-Rank or higher materials may even modify the body, depending on their abilities.

This results in others, even without [Blank Meteor], having their bodies modified and developing similar characteristics when using certain A-Rank drugs, even with large doses.

Kevin picked and chose among these materials.

These are all types that have been tested and are compatible.

In the end, six materials were selected.

"Have Slash Ghost and Netero protect me; I need to give it my all this time."

Kevin cannot go to Nobu's space or Rosana's home.

Because the amount of Nen needed this time might not be enough from within his body alone, he would need to use a potion to draw it from the outside.

Moreover, he didn't understand what would happen with S-Rank character.

It could very likely affect or even damage other people's space, and if you accidentally hurt someone, the consequences would be far greater than the gains.

Melusina nodded solemnly.
