The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

While Jiang Yan was pondering what dish to make.

Kurapika, who was walking in front of Jiang Yan, suddenly turned to look at Leorio beside him and said.

"Leorio, there's something that's really bothering me."

Leorio was rubbing his aching shoulder when he heard this, and he paused for a moment, looking at Kurapika with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? What is it?"

How many exams are left?

Kurapika frowned slightly.

Although I passed the first two exams smoothly, they weren't exactly easy.

But now, he doesn't even know how many rounds of the Hunter Exam there are, and he's really not confident.

"Oh right! Nobody told us that!"

Leorio scratched his head, his face full of distress.

He had never heard of how many rounds of the Hunter Exam there were before.

He frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. He turned his head and saw Jiang Yan, who seemed to be lost in thought.

So Leorio raised his voice and asked.

"Have you heard of Jiang Yan? How many rounds of the Hunter Exam are there?"

"?"

Jiang Yan was pulled back to his senses by Leorio's sudden question. After a moment of surprise, he looked up at Kurapika and Leorio.

Jiang Yan was naturally very familiar with the Hunter Exam, and since he had been asked, he didn't mind sharing his thoughts.

However, before Jiang Yan could speak, Dongba's voice suddenly interrupted.

"Generally speaking, there are five to six games."

As he spoke, Dongba walked over with a kind smile on his face, but a subtle calculation was hidden in his eyes.

........................

Hearing Dongba say that.

Leorio counted on his fingers, and his face instantly fell.

"So, there are still three or four games left!"

With a groan, Leorio felt pain in every bone in his body.

The first two games alone have already exhausted him, and now he has to play three or four more?

Leorio felt his vision go black.

Can he really hold on?

"Next, I need to rest and recuperate properly."

Kurapika's expression became very serious.

The intensity of the first two exams had already left him feeling exhausted, and the next exam would likely be no easier.

While we still have time, we must get ourselves into the best possible condition.

Jiang Yan glanced at Kurapika and Leorio, then suddenly extended an invitation.

"I'm going to the kitchen to prepare some dishes in a bit. Would you like to come and try some?"

"Delicious food can relieve fatigue."

Although Jiang Yan originally only wanted to eat by himself, he didn't mind having two more people.

Moreover, he was going to use new ingredients, so the dishes he made at the beginning were bound to be lacking.

Perhaps the two of them can offer him some good advice.

Of course, more importantly, no matter how delicious the food is, it's always a pity if no one knows about it. It's more interesting when other people give their opinions.

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's invitation, Leorio's fatigue vanished, and he spoke excitedly.

"Really? That's wonderful! I've been starving!"

He had witnessed Jiang Yan's culinary skills during the second exam.

Leorio still vividly remembers the taste of that grilled meat.

Kurapika glanced at Leorio, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much!"

Although I ate a grape spider egg earlier, that amount of food was definitely not enough.

..............................

As they were talking, Dongba suddenly took another step forward, his expression becoming extremely serious, and his tone becoming heavier.

"I advise you to be careful."

"Um?"

Leorio and Kurapika both frowned, looking at Tonpa with confusion, not quite understanding what Tonpa meant.

Jiang Yan stood to the side, his expression calm.

He knew very well that the Dongba wanted to disturb their minds with alarmist words, making them tense and anxious, so that they would not be able to rest well.

However, Jiang Yan was too lazy to expose Dongba, since these words wouldn't affect him anyway.

Dongba glanced at Jiang Yan, who seemed unmoved, but his face remained serious as he lowered his voice and continued speaking.

"Since the person in charge just said 'arriving at the next destination,' it's very likely that the interior of this airship is the venue for the third exam."

"Contact time is not limited to 8 a.m."

"Perhaps the exams have already quietly begun."

This was obviously false, as Tonpa knew very well that the official Hunter Exam would not give candidates false information.

Since they have free time before they arrive, it's impossible for them to suddenly take a test.

Because Tonpa spoke with such conviction, Leorio believed him.

His eyes widened, and he stared at Dongba with disbelief.

"Really?!"

Leorio subconsciously rubbed his sore shoulder, inwardly groaning.

If the exam starts now, can he really stick with it?

"Hmm, that makes some sense."

Kurapika pursed his lips thoughtfully.

While there's a possibility that Tonpa might be telling them this, Kurapika doesn't believe Tonpa would actually be kind enough to tell them.

However, Kurapika still didn't quite understand what Tonpa's intention was.

Jiang Yan then cooperated by showing an expression of sudden realization.

"Looks like I need to be careful; I still want to get my hunter's license."

Since Dongba is putting in so much effort, he naturally has to cooperate!

Otherwise, wouldn't that dampen the enthusiasm of the Dongba people?

..............................

Seeing that the three seemed to have been persuaded by him, Dongba's smile became even more amiable, but he was already overjoyed inside.

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

As long as Jiang Yan and the other two remained wary, they dared not rest properly at night and even stayed up all night to investigate the airship.

This will definitely make me feel listless tomorrow morning, and I'll be more likely to be eliminated in the third exam.

So Dongba pressed on, his tone becoming increasingly solemn.

"It's not impossible for the exam to be over while you're sleeping."

"If you want to take the upcoming exams, you'd better not let your guard down, even on the airship."

The Dongba's eyes were full of "sincerity," as if he truly cared about them.

"What's this?!"

Leorio couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

I had originally planned to get a good night's sleep after dinner to recharge, but after Dongba said that, I suddenly felt very uneasy.

Despite his complaints, Leorio looked at Tonpa and thanked him earnestly.

"Thanks for reminding me."

In Leorio's eyes, Tonpa is a really kind-hearted senior!

"I will seriously consider it."

Kurapika nodded slightly and said with a serious expression.

But I've already made up my mind that I should rest when it's time.

"Let's explore the airship after dinner; we might find something."

Jiang Yan said in a serious tone.

However, Jiang Yan was indeed prepared to take a good look at the airship.

After all, it was his first time riding in an airship, so he was genuinely curious.
