Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

Earn resources by selling potions, then use those resources to buy and acquire new materials, and then make more potions to give back to yourself.

This is undoubtedly an ideal virtuous cycle, and the connections and wealth accumulated in this process are merely byproducts.

It seems Kevin has a very clear plan for himself, which is good.

To be honest, when Bisky was teaching Kevin more than half a year ago, her biggest concern was that Kevin would feel lost.

Although she didn't know what Kevin had gone through, when she first started teaching him, the confusion in his eyes and the ignorance of not knowing what to do almost filled his entire being.

To be honest, when Kevin suddenly started playing, she didn't feel any sense of abruptness at all.

Kevin is not going down the bad path she feared; on the contrary, he is getting better and better, which makes her very happy.

In her view, a gemstone not only needs someone like her to polish it, but also needs to refine and radiate its own brilliant light.

Her tone was tinged with relief.

"That's a good idea, and it seems you already have a general plan. So, you'd like me to offer some suggestions based on your idea?"

Bisky roughly guessed Kevin's intentions and asked.

Kevin nodded: "That's about right. Teacher, you've seen the Nen potions I made. Their main target market is undoubtedly hunters, and secondly, those with power and influence."

Next, Kevin briefly explained some of his thoughts, including matters related to suppliers.

The supplier is the key.

Everything else is an accessory.

"Teacher, you have extensive experience in the Hunter Association and must have your own unique insights into the hunter community."

So I'd like to ask if you have any suggestions for me to consider.

Bisky didn't pay much attention to Kevin's mention of "senior experience" and simply skipped it. After a little thought, she gave some valuable advice.

"First of all, I must remind you that the hunter community is diverse, including many who are stubborn, have personality flaws, and use dirty methods."

Kevin was already prepared for this and nodded in agreement.

"However, you can rest assured that for most hunters, contracts are very important to them."

"Most hunters value the spirit of contract highly. After all, those who possess Nen abilities and become hunters have their own principles to uphold to varying degrees."

Bisky pointed out a key point that Kevin had not considered.

"Very contractually conscious?"

Kevin never expected that the hunter, whom Bisky described as full of problems, would have such a quality.

Bisky nodded: "That's one of the hunters' biggest advantages. Otherwise, how would the Hunter Association have achieved its current status and privileges?"

"If they didn't have this trait, why would so many people be willing to hire hunters?"

"You should know that a significant portion of hunters rely on being employed by powerful and influential people as their primary source of income."

Simply put, not all hunters have a unique way of making money.

Many hunters, apart from their superhuman strength, have no other outstanding advantages.

Becoming bodyguards and accepting commissions became their main job.

This is also their main source of income, far exceeding the wealth they can obtain from other channels.

Those who hire hunters are undoubtedly among the most powerful and influential people in the world.

Furthermore, since they are Nen users, the income they earn through this employment method is quite considerable.

After a moment's thought, Bisky gave an example based on some data she had learned from the Hunter Association.

"Take bodyguard work as an example. Many hunters will accept commissions to act as bodyguards. These bodyguard jobs are usually long-term and calculated in years."

"Many hunters' injuries and deaths stem from this industry, with many suffering serious injuries or even losing their lives during missions."

"There have even been cases where, after the target being protected was killed, the hunters who accepted the commission sought revenge out of resentment."

Actually, the main reason is their own selfishness.

Nen users often possess extreme abilities that are not typical of ordinary people. For some protectors, it is a great humiliation if the protected person is not properly protected.

These hunters may have been acting more for themselves, but the process also helped the victims get revenge.

These cases really surprised Kevin.

Because he has to admit that the spirit of contract is a very commendable virtue.

He couldn't help but scratch his head, thinking: Could a hunter really have such noble qualities?

"Of course, I'm talking about the vast majority of cases. In any group, there will be a small group of people with bad character, scum who don't even have the most basic principles."

However, Kevin thought this was already pretty good.

It is truly commendable if most people in a group can have such a spirit of commitment, even at the cost of their lives.

No wonder the hunter community has been able to grow so large; after all, they enjoy many privileges.

Such a group is simply the darling of those in power and influence.

"So, your idea of ​​establishing a supplier system using contracts and agreements is not problematic and will generally not have any major flaws."

"Even if problems arise, it won't cause you too much trouble; it's a good approach."

Bisky nodded in agreement.

Then, her expression turned serious: "However, your understanding of the hunter community is not deep enough. Based on the prices on your current list, how much do you estimate you can earn?"

Kevin did not hide anything from the teacher's questions.

“Without considering labor costs, I sell them for at least ten times the price of the basic materials. For some more specialized and practical medicines, I will raise the price accordingly.”

This is definitely a highly profitable monopoly industry.

It should also be noted that this is without considering labor costs. As Kevin's own strength increases, the labor costs for him to make the potions will also continue to rise.

After all, the stronger he is, the higher his price will be.

Bisky nodded, indicating her agreement with the pricing.

In her view, labor costs should naturally account for a higher percentage.

Especially considering that his apprentice is both talented and capable, such a price is reasonable.

She even felt that she might have sold it too cheaply.

"Does it take you a lot of time to make these medicines? How long does it take approximately?"

Bisky continued to ask questions, suggesting that she was making plans for her apprentice.

Since she already understood Kevin's personality quite well, she no longer avoided asking questions that she might not have asked in the past.

"The more expensive the medicine, the longer it takes to make. However, as my strength increases, the production time will decrease accordingly."

"With my current abilities, it would take me about 10 to 20 minutes to make a potion worth around 100 million."

At this point, Kevin seemed to remember something and added, "Based on my recent experience, the more quantities of the same medicine produced, the faster the production speed will gradually become, but the reduction will not be significant, only about 10% to 20%."

Moreover, this situation will only gradually appear after at least thirty pieces have been made.

The first thing to cause this phenomenon was the digestive medicine he made a few days ago, which is also the medicine he used the most.

Upon hearing this answer, Bisky immediately became serious and lightly tapped the table.

"If that's the case, why didn't you set any limits when you sold the medicine?"

You underestimate the hunters' purchasing power and the assistance your potion can provide.

Don't underestimate these fifteen minutes; in the hunter's battle, these fifteen minutes can be a key factor in securing victory.

Moreover, Kevin's medications can be used in combination, although this may cause some discomfort and problems if used too much.

But compared to the injuries that might be suffered in battle, these are all acceptable.

Moreover, these medications can be used intermittently as long as the daily usage limit is not exceeded.

In the field of adjuvant drugs, Kevin's Nen ability can be said to have reached an extremely high level, especially after eliminating the side effects.

Its value has risen rapidly.

Given the hunters' financial strength, they will definitely buy in large quantities, and there may even be instances of reselling.

As far as Bisky's eyes are concerned, if there were no limit to the amount of medicines available for purchase, she would have stockpiled a lot of them herself.

Even when it went on sale, they could easily sell out Kevin's entire inventory without any problem.

Moreover, Kevin openly sells the drugs within the circle of ability users.

There are quite a few people willing to buy, and customers will be coming in droves.

Kevin is the only one capable of making the medicine, and even if he works 24 hours a day, he probably still won't be able to meet the demand.

Kevin fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Actually, he had considered this issue, but he was still in the preparation stage and hadn't had time to think about how to deal with the business after it became a hit.

Moreover, he made the medicine and owned the shop. If such a situation were to occur, he could simply close the shop and take a break.

After all, he was a hunter, and hunters are inherently free-spirited and unrestrained.

However, since even a seasoned hunter like Bisky has specifically pointed this out, it means that these drugs could indeed cause a market frenzy, and this aspect definitely needs to be carefully considered.

Seeing Kevin deep in thought, Bisky quietly added, "You need to understand that for you, the quality of your clients is far more important than the quantity."

"Don't forget why you established this system in the first place. That's very important."

This sentence flashed through Kevin's mind like a flash of inspiration.

Yes, for him, customer quality is indeed more important.

What he needs are the materials, and then the connections and wealth that come with them.

Only high-quality clients are more likely to provide him with the resources he needs. Those Nen users with mediocre strength and no special skills are of little value to him.

Moreover, there is no need to worry too much about wealth. Once Redstone Medicine gets on track, wealth will naturally come rolling in.

"Thank you, teacher. Your words have benefited me greatly!" Pwen nodded to Bisky in thanks.

Bisky took a sip of her black tea and waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

Then the topic shifted to another aspect.

"Those survivors of the Kuruta tribe, and that little girl named Nyon, are they considered your subordinates?"

Her voice carried a hint of teasing.

Kevin smiled. "If you really want to put it that way, you could say that. They are indeed working for me now."

“Then you’ll have to nurture them well. They all seem to be promising talents, and they deserve your careful guidance.” Bisky stared at Kevin, her expression slightly serious.

As a gem hunter, what she hates most is seeing high-quality rough stones being wasted.

If a poorly skilled jeweler were to polish it into a low-quality gemstone, she would go crazy; it was something she could not tolerate.

Upon hearing this, Kevin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Teacher, have you ever thought about personally guiding their training?"

"You are the most skilled gem hunter. Only with your polishing can these 'gems' shine with their most brilliant light."

"Hmph, don't even think about it." Bisky understood Kevin's thoughts perfectly well and refused outright.

"My passion for polishing raw stones has been almost completely exhausted by you and Yun Gu."

"I won't have that kind of interest again anytime soon."

"They are good prospects, but not enough for me to want to nurture them at all costs."

“While Nen talent is important, personality, physique, experience, age, and other factors are also necessary to become a perfect ‘Original Stone’.”

As she spoke, she pointed at Kevin: "Someone like you doesn't meet the standard, you know?"

"Yes, yes, but it shouldn't be a problem if you occasionally offer some guidance, teacher, right?"

"That's fine. You can also let me see Yun Gu's teaching results."

In Bisky's view, Yung-ku is gentle and patient, and indeed possesses the qualities of an excellent teacher.

I can teach him, teach the skills of children with Nen abilities.

This can also be considered as giving his apprentices an extra tutoring session after they have graduated.

At this point, she looked at Kevin again: "Teaching one is the same as teaching several, so you should join in too."
