Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth.

Kevin became increasingly fascinated and began to study it carefully.

However, fifteen minutes passed quickly.

Fortunately, even as he focused on his research, his "Blank Meteor" remained active, and his body autonomously learned from this change.

After research, Kevin concluded that his previous idea was correct, and that the hexagonal shape formed by the gas was the key to enhanced defense.

Moreover, due to this characteristic of Qi, not only is defense enhanced when struck, but its power is also increased when attacking.

Because the air trapped within the target hardens upon impact, forming a hexagonal shape.

"In that case, let's call this potion the 'Iron Wall Potion'."

Since that's the case, there's no point in hesitating now.

Kevin had a considerable amount of all three materials in stock. If he used them all to make potions, he could make at least twenty more.

The most expensive item is the scales of the gemfish, a special variant that is extremely rare and hard to come by; every scale used reduces the available supply.

Even so, if all the materials are made into more than twenty potions, Kevin will surely gain something.

Currently, the efficiency of the Qi burst technique learned through the [Power Potion] has reached 25%, which is almost infinitely close to the original effect of the [Power Potion].

Kevin couldn't help but wonder if, if he learned the same changes in Qi through both potions, could these two forms coexist?

When taking the medicine, the two beneficial states do not appear to conflict.

If it really works, then his offensive and defensive capabilities will be enhanced again, further strengthening the characteristics of the enhancement type.

Regardless, let's make the potion first. After all, we have enough materials, and the [Iron Wall Potion] doesn't consume too much energy.

According to Kevin's calculations, his current potential energy level is around 1.3.

The improvement brought about by the [Digestive Medicine] and the effect of enhanced training played a significant role in this.

Currently, Kevin can use the [Digestive Medicine] once every eight days, followed by a day of high-intensity exercise.

His apparent aura was significantly higher than the average, around 1500, mainly due to the boosting effect of the [Strength Potion].

When the "Blank Meteor" state is activated, the body will train itself during the learning process, enhancing abilities in a targeted manner.

If he were to reactivate the Ki Burst he had already learned, his manifest Ki level could reach over 1800, making his offensive and defensive capabilities quite astonishing and certainly surpassing those of other Nen users of the same level.

However, similarly, his endurance in battle may be weaker than that of other enhancement-type ability users.

After all, a greater outburst of visible energy will lead to a greater potential consumption of energy and a loss of physical strength.

Perhaps, medication can be used to make up for this shortcoming.

The medicine is also a manifestation of my Nen ability and the result of my hard work!

Kevin thought to himself that he needed to develop a potion that could accelerate the recovery of physical strength and energy, or simply something like the [Strength Potion] that could directly increase physical strength and energy.

Chapter 50 Acquiring X Gourmet Hunter

Kevin thrived at this species research base.

After all, those who conduct research here are renowned experts in the fields of botany, zoology, insects, and aquatic life.

Their expertise in various biological research fields is unparalleled, and each of them has their own unique research direction.

Not to mention the massive amount of data and archives stored in the base.

Kevin often wandered around the lab, taking advantage of various experimental observations to learn new knowledge. It must be said that he was exceptionally gifted in learning, possessing an almost photographic memory.

Kevin's daily life is well-organized, with exercise, medicine making, and collection interspersed throughout.

After all, this is a nature reserve, and a vast wilderness area formed by connecting several nature reserves and restricted areas, so it has no shortage of all kinds of plants and animals.

In addition to going out with the conservation research team to carry out research work, Kevin sometimes goes out alone to search for and collect the materials he needs.

It is not only materials that can evoke a slight desire that can be used in medicine.

And just like that, time quickly came to the end of October.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, thick white fog still lingered over the plaza outside the research base.

Near the woodland next to the research base plaza, there is a specially designated area with rows of tree stumps standing inside.

This was only recently planned and constructed.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Kevin was doing some simple training here, punching the tree stump in front of him again and again.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the marks on the tree stump are not ordinary dents, but rather regular hexagonal marks, like stamps.

"Phew, finally some results." Kevin breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the hexagon imprinted on the tree stump.

At this moment, he did not drink the [Iron Wall Potion]; the regular hexagon he created was formed spontaneously by his energy under pressure.

He only had three Iron Wall Potions left. It wasn't that he hadn't made any, but rather that he had run out of usable materials.

"Even though the [Iron Wall Potion] is of a lower level than the [Strength Potion], learning the same level of changes is much more difficult."

Kevin had figured out the reason, and the key lay in the word "change".

The effects or attributes exhibited by the [Iron Wall Potion] belong to the transformation type; while the attributes exhibited by the [Strength Potion] are undoubtedly the enhancement type.

The effect of the [Strength Potion] is to strengthen the body's muscles, enabling a greater burst of visible energy, with a maximum of 30%.

Therefore, after drinking the potion and using the Nen ability "Blank Meteor", this ability can be successfully learned.

However, the initial learning efficiency is not high, and it is necessary to drink the potion continuously and use it continuously in order to gradually improve until it reaches the same level of explosive effect.

The effect of the [Iron Wall Potion] is to make the air form a hexagon, enhancing its ability to withstand impacts. In simpler terms, it makes the air change its structure to become more robust.

This involves variable systems. Kevin's learning efficiency in variable systems is 80%, and the learning time required is relatively long.

Moreover, this kind of learning doesn't result in half-learning or only having a weak effect; you either learn it completely or you don't learn it at all, unlike the [Power Potion] which has a gradual process of increasing efficiency.

Based on this situation, Kevin categorized the learnable effects of potions into two types.

The first type is the enhancement state type, which is easy to understand. It has an enhancement effect on physical qualities, energy, or other aspects, such as making you faster, stronger, or having longer endurance.

It is a type that progresses gradually and the effects gradually increase, just like gradually improving from a beginner's level 1 to the maximum level 10.

The second type is the transformation-granting type, which is like granting a certain skill to a creature, causing it to change and possess specific characteristics.

For example, making the air solid and forming a hexagon, or giving the air a scorching effect, etc.

This type of learning is like having a learning progress bar. You drink a potion to simulate learning, and the progress bar will increase until it is full, at which point you have successfully learned the material.

Even if the progress bar has reached 99%, it will still have no effect as long as it is still missing that last 1%.

If you know it, you know it; if you don't, you don't. There's no such thing as "you seem to know it."

"Sigh, Nen abilities are really complicated," Kevin muttered to himself.

He picked up the towel draped over his shoulder, wiped the sweat from his face, and walked out of the training field wearing only a thin vest.

I was in a pretty good mood today and finished the simulation learning before my [Iron Wall Potion] ran out.

He can now freely shape his aura into a hexagon. In fact, whenever he enters a similar state, his aura will automatically form this shape for attack and defense, even without his conscious control.

Because when you drink the medicine, it operates automatically, rather than being consciously controlled, making it an instinct.

Suddenly, Kevin heard the sound of a car starting.

"So early?" Kevin wondered.

"Hey Kevin, training again? You're really hardworking." Berger stopped in front of Kevin in a camouflage jeep.

“If you don’t train regularly, your strength will decline,” Kevin replied with a smile, a lesson Bisky had taught him.

Berger nodded slightly in agreement, then patted the passenger seat next to him: "Want to come along? I'm about to go pick someone up."

"Pick someone up?"

"That's right, two professional hunters."

"What hunter?" Kevin asked curiously.

He knew a limited number of hunters, each with their own unique characteristics, such as relic hunters, gem hunters, conservation hunters, and Yun Gu even called himself a martial arts hunter.

"She's a gourmet hunter."

This is interesting! Kevin immediately became intrigued. Since he's a gourmet hunter, his cooking skills must be quite good, right?

"Wait a minute, I'm going to wash up."

“No problem, there’s plenty of time.” Berger wasn’t in a hurry.

Kevin quickly got ready, got in the car, and set off.

The car soon arrived at the entrance to the nature reserve. At first glance, two very conspicuous figures could be seen at the gate.

One is a beautiful young woman with a hot figure, dressed in revealing clothing, hot pants, boots, and a crop top, which perfectly showcases her beautiful figure.

With short, light green hair cascading down her back, her face showed a hint of youthfulness, but her features were undeniably beautiful.

Standing behind her was a huge fat man, who looked to be over two meters tall, with a round and plump body and a belly as round as a ball.

She was also wearing a crop top, because her belly was too big for the t-shirt to cover.
