Eternal Night

Chapter 816 Sharing the Profits and I'm in a Hurry

Three days may seem short, but for both Wu Pifu and humanity, it felt like a race against time.

Although Wu Pifu could still keep the three small animals and the golden tree in a dormant state, it would be better to resolve their crisis sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, the Nen users who had made a pact with Wu Pifu dared not test the extent of his patience.

To put it bluntly, Wu Pifu's image is completely different in the eyes of people with Nen abilities than in the eyes of others. When people with Nen abilities are in a state of concentration, Wu Pifu appears in a negative light. No matter how gentle Wu Pifu is in his treatment of them, it is impossible for them to truly regard Wu Pifu as a person.

On the third day, Wu Pifu got up very early.

After sleeping in for several days in a row, with no worries about food and drink, and in a safe area, Wu Pifu was living a very comfortable life. Moreover, he discovered that the level of human civilization and technology in this world was not bad. He even found a game console, a handheld one!
As for the text issue, that's easy to solve. How about we learn about the all-powerful judgment of the main brain?

In short, Wu Pifu rested and played for three days.

As for the Nen users on the ship, and the ordinary people with enough power, their eyes were bloodshot, and their expressions were tired but excited.

During these three days, they barely slept. Apart from negotiations, talks, thinking, and summarizing within various teams, organizations, and factions, the rest of the time was spent negotiating with other factions and teams.

Wu Pifu's suggestion was for everyone. Before they were completely sure, even the strongest team, Peter Yang and King, needed to communicate with other smaller teams to confirm that their chosen wish was indeed the longevity food Nitromi, and to avoid any other mishaps.

When the appointed time arrived, Wu Pifu hummed a song and brought three small animals (female) and a golden tree bonsai to the venue.

By this time, the venue was already fully occupied, with even more people who were clearly ordinary humans present.

Upon seeing Wu Pifu arrive, these dozens of ordinary humans breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his appearance. However, they had already been repeatedly reminded by the Nen users they had hired, so they naturally dared not be negligent and all stood up respectfully to bow to Wu Pifu.

"Who are they?" Wu Pifu looked at the dozens of people with a puzzled expression and asked Peter Yang.

Peter Young scratched his ear and said, "It's all about sharing the spoils. They can be considered the sponsors of this trip to the Dark Continent, providing logistics, essential supplies, intelligence support, this ship, and the technical personnel they brought... Our human society and civilization can't simply be dominated by strength, or rather, we're not strong enough yet. They are the ruling class, so they also want a piece of the pie."

These words were spoken bluntly, and the dozens of people immediately broke out in a sweat, even the many Nen users.

However, Wu Pifu nodded understandingly and sympathetically, saying, "I see. Those evil capitalists... I guess you could say that. Anyway, bringing one is the same as bringing a whole group."

As he spoke, Wu Pifu nodded to everyone present with good temper, even those capitalists he considered utterly evil, before finally sitting down in his seat. Then he asked directly, "So now I'd like to hear your demands. What do you want?"

Peter Young and King looked at each other, then both turned to look at Paris.

Paris smiled gently, stood up, bowed slightly to Wu Pifu, and said, "We have indeed reached a conclusion, but there is a small problem..."

Wu Pifu said nonchalantly, "Just say what you have to say. Don't worry, I'm easy to talk to."

Paris smiled and said, "We want to know how far you are capable of, because what we also hope for is 'hope,' and what guards this hope is 'disaster.'"

“It’s a disaster.”

Wu Pifu sighed and said, "Disasters also vary in strength, and I have truly experienced this. However, I have basically not encountered a disaster that I cannot handle. Speaking of which, is this all you wish for? You don't plan to change it?"

Paris smiled, and the others remained silent. Peter Young, however, helplessly spread his hands and said, "I would like another wish, but it is limited to my personal life, which does not meet your requirements."

Wu Pifu was also quite helpless. He muttered, "What kind of item do you want... this requirement is a bit troublesome. It's probably the second or third most annoying task requirement of mine. Oh well, it's fine."

Paris suddenly asked, "What's the task you hate the most?"

Wu Pifu had nothing to hide: "Deciphering? I hate deciphering the most. Or how about you change your wish? For example, I'll help you kill a monster that's a million meters long? Its vitality is extremely strong. I think Nen ability is related to vitality. If you eat it, I guarantee it will increase the strength of all of you by several times."

All the Nen users present wore somewhat embarrassed smiles.

Eating foods rich in vitality, or having a strong enough vitality of one's own, can indeed increase the potential energy of a Nen user. This has been proven by countless Nen users. Therefore, as the official representative of Nen users, the organization Hunter x Hunter does indeed have Gourmet Hunters.

However, humans, or rather, life, have limits. This practice of improving mental abilities by eating, digesting, and enhancing vitality will reach its limit and become unbreakable once it reaches that limit. It's not just about eating; even training, spiritual practice, vows, and constraints will have their limits.

The most famous example is the previous chairman of Hunter x Hunter. He reached the threshold of his power in middle age, and afterwards underwent hellish training, analyzing himself from body to mind, achieving a comprehensive breakthrough. Only then did he break through the shackles of his limits and ultimately achieve the title of the strongest Nen user. But how many years does such a genius appear?
How could food alone possibly increase one's strength several times over, as Wu Pifu claimed?

but……

A monster that's a million meters long?

Many people only then realized what Wu Pifu meant.

Million-meter level!?

What kind of concept is this?!
Is this really a living organism?
And is the one in front of us really capable of killing such a being?
However, Wu Pifu had no interest in answering their questions. He said bluntly, "Alright, you've all decided on your wishes, so let's make a fair trade. Tell me, what are they?"

At this moment, Jin took out a notebook from his pocket and said, "The longevity food Nitromi is what we crave. This contains as much detailed information as possible about this food, its location, and information about the calamity hell bell that guards this food. We hope to obtain this food. If possible, the more the better, but if conditions do not allow, you can give it to us as you see fit."

Wu Pifu took the notebook and quickly flipped through it.

The information above is actually very limited and vague. It doesn't describe in detail what the longevity food Nitromi looks like, nor does it describe the detailed appearance, characteristics, strength level, and fighting style of Hellbell. Even the geographical location is only described in general terms.

Jin said sincerely, "This is all the detailed information we can provide. There is nothing we are hiding, because the Dark Continent is an absolute forbidden zone for us humans, so there is very little information available for exploration."

Wu Pifu nodded knowingly, then stood up: "Alright, if you're ready to teach me how to recite, then I'll..."

"We're going too!"

Peter Young suddenly spoke up, standing up at the same time: "This is also one of our wishes. We yearn to see places we've never seen before, and to encounter enemies we've never imagined. Otherwise, what's the difference between sitting here waiting for hope to arrive and lying in a safe bed waiting to die of old age?"

Wu Pifu was speechless, but he understood Peter Yang's thoughts and feelings. He was about to agree, but then several Nen users stood up, their meaning becoming quite clear.

Wu Pifu said with difficulty, "Look, my four companions are the ones I protect closely, and they are all in their current situation. I can't possibly protect hundreds of you, understand?"

Jin immediately replied, "Of course we know that, which is why we are willing to follow you regardless of life or death. If we die, it will prove that we are nothing special, unable even to watch the battle. Then this trip to the Dark Continent was due to our arrogance."

Wu Pifu was speechless again, but he had no reason to offer any advice.

At this moment, the dozens of ordinary people also said, "We also hope to go together. If we are also included, we hope to receive it at the same time as receiving this hope!"

Wu Pifu glanced sideways, but unexpectedly, one of the very old men pushed away the support of others, tried to stand up straight and said, "Perhaps you can despise our wealth and our behavior, but in order to pursue the continuation of life, we are willing to take this risk."

Wu Pifu was speechless.

He could only speak politely to fellow human beings, even those who were slightly more wicked, unless the other party was inhuman.

"...Tell me, how many people are going?" Wu Pifu asked speechlessly.

Paris laughed heartily, suddenly feeling a sense of joy reminiscent of working with the previous Hunter Guild Master: "In fact... almost everyone on the ship is willing to come along. After all, this is Nitromi, the longevity food. Whether we eat it ourselves or take it back to sell, it's a fortune that countless people can't even imagine in their entire lives. People die for wealth, birds die for food. Or... how about you change the rules? No need for equal sharing of benefits? Choose one of us to make a new wish?"

Wu Pifu was really provoked. He looked Paris up and down and said, "It seems you're quite good at politics and have a good mind, but you have a bit too many wicked tastes. If you have the chance in the future, why don't you come and work for me?"

For the first time, Paris showed a look of surprise. Wu Pifu laughed, stood up, looked around, and then asked, "Is it really that everyone on the ship is willing to go?"

No one else spoke, but Jin nodded and said, "That's right, when they learned that a very powerful person was willing to go and obtain the longevity food Nitromi... that's right, but as I said before, you are responsible for your own life and death, and you don't need to do anything for your companions."

Wu Pifu was silent for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "Alright, since that's the case... I can't wait for you to walk over slowly, I'm in a hurry, so..."

Wu Pifu floated up from the ground, holding the Thunder Pool he carried with him in one hand and three small animals (female bodies) and a golden tree bonsai in the other, and flew towards the window of the hall.

Then everyone felt the ground shaking beneath their feet, and they were horrified to discover...

The entire super-giant ship...

It took flight!
