New Product

Milluki pulled several small black boxes from his bag and set them one by one on the deck.

The lids sprang open.

Tiny Mechanical Mosquitoes flew out, their wing plates vibrating at high speed. They circled half a turn above Milluki's head before forming up in front of him.

Then Milluki took out the last box.

When its lid opened, an emerald-green Mechanical Dragonfly rose into the air.

It was a size larger than the Mechanical Mosquito. A row of tiny lights embedded in its abdomen flashed once, then went dark again.

Bai Zhu raised his chin.

"New product?"

Milluki set up his terminal and swiped across the screen twice, finally sounding a little more confident.

"Signal Hub."

"Last time at the Church, my mechanical bugs got interfered with way too badly. When I went back, I upgraded them. Resistance to Nen interference, transmission range, endurance—I improved all of it."

Bai Zhu nodded.

"Got it. An early-warning plane."

Milluki's fingers paused.

"What early-warning plane?"

"Sounds advanced."

"It really does."

Milluki accepted the name quickly.

Morel looked at the Mechanical Dragonfly and shifted his oversized pipe to his other shoulder.

"Can they get into the cabins?"

"If there's a gap, they can get in. And their vibration is absolutely amazing."

Milluki operated the terminal, then added another warning.

"But don't expect them to fight. They're useful for reconnaissance, but against high-intensity Nen pressure, they'll get scrapped fast."

Bai Zhu cut in from the side.

"If your bugs could fight too, you wouldn't need to take the Hunter Exam. You could just start a company selling weapons."

Milluki snorted.

"I could start one anyway."

"Then why are you taking the exam?"

"Because I feel like it."

Bai Zhu smiled.

"Sure. The rich man's lifestyle."

The Mechanical Dragonfly turned, and the lights on
