Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated. Come and follow the updates on Cola Novels!

Lei Zha is very self-aware and will quietly do everything he is supposed to do.

Unlike someone else, who is still there, making a lot of noise and endlessly spouting their various opinions.

Even when the person in question arrived at the scene, they didn't pay much attention.

Although, no one else noticed it at first either.

However, after catching a glimpse of Iksumbe's familiar graffiti face out of the corner of his eye, he immediately looked over.

"Oh, you've arrived~"

Lister bowed slightly in greeting, displaying impeccable aristocratic manners.

Even the others, Elena and Ida, nodded in agreement.

Even Lei Zha raised his hand to greet him.

Then~

Their attention quickly shifted from Iksumbe to the unfamiliar man beside him.

"And this is...?"

Lister stood up and asked with some curiosity.

"My name is von Clay, and I am an 'inventor'."

von Clay smiled and greeted everyone:

"Nice to meet you all, Greed Island."

"Um?!"

After exchanging pleasantries with Iksumbe, Du'en, upon hearing this, also looked over:

"Von Clay? 'Inventor'?"

He blinked:

"How come I've never heard of this name before?"

"Because I'm just a nobody~"

Looking at Du En, whose eyes sparkled with innocent naivety.

von Clay simply smiled:

"It would be strange if you'd actually heard of it."

Well, with such a disheveled appearance, there's no one else but Du En.

He looks much younger than when he first appeared in the original version, and his beard isn't as scraggly.

Moreover~

"If you put it that way..."

Du En stroked his chin:

"That makes perfect sense, given their good looks."

This somewhat dim-witted demeanor persisted for more than a decade into the future.

"Are you a friend of Iksumbe?"

Lister, standing to the side, asked in a friendly and amicable manner.

To be able to appear in this "chat room," and even to be seen coming and going from this place with Iksumbe...

Obviously, it doesn't matter what the inventor named von Clay was like.

The fact that he was treated differently by Iksumbe alone shows that he must have something extraordinary about him.

In particular, the profession he mentioned himself was something that Liszt paid a little attention to.

"Inventor" or something...

No, we've only known each other for a short time.

Suddenly, a piece of cardboard appeared in Iksumbe's hand.

The words on the cardboard appeared quickly and then disappeared just as fast.

Strictly speaking, we're currently still considered partners. And...

The text reproduced on the cardboard paused slightly here before continuing to appear:

I have no friends.

"Huh? Why are you still using those boxes to send messages?"

Duen discovered the blind spot:

"Now we can all talk and chat right here."

"And it's not even a frame anymore, they've all been replaced with cardboard..."

Du En scrutinized him with an air of importance:

"No matter how you look at it, this is inconvenient."

I don't like to talk.

He kept the cardboard signboard in his hand, and the words on it kept appearing one by one:

I think this format is actually better.

Compared to having information constantly floating in my head, giving me the feeling that my thoughts are exposed and visible to others, I still find the feeling of holding words in my hands to be much more substantial.

Iksumbe expressed his meaning in this way.

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense~"

Du En nodded wisely as always:

"Everyone has their own habits and preferences in life. We are all the same, and we can all understand that."

"However~"

His intelligent gaze swept back and forth between von Clay and Iksumbe:

"If you're not friends, then how did you two meet?!"

Clearly, like Lister, Duen did not believe that von Clay's identity was simply that of a partner.

Although Taduin was rather clear-headed and foolish, he was not an idiot.

If they were just simple business partners, why would Iksumbe bring them into the "chat room" where they are?

It's worth noting that although Iksumbe doesn't usually interact with them much, they are all designers and producers of the "Greed Island" game, so they are all somewhat familiar with each other.

Everyone knows that these people don't usually invite outsiders into their circle.

Everyone has their own circle of relationships, and as the saying goes, don't force yourself to blend into circles that don't belong together.

They rarely discuss their relationship in private.

Especially for Iksumbe, such a confidential online world should not be entered directly by the other party.

Even people like them are in a state of information apathy.

But this von Clay in front of me...

"That's a privilege I've never even had the chance to enjoy."

Duen muttered to himself.

Yes, Lister had personally entered before, in order to provide some helpful ideas for Iksumbe's online world.

Ida and Elena also entered, mainly to personally experience the feeling of entering and exiting the online world.

It allows for better ways to enter and exit the game.

Only Leiza and Taduen, neither of them had ever come in person.

Leizha was a death row inmate captured by Jin, so it was only natural that he couldn't leave the island.

On the contrary, it was him~

Duen stared at von Clay, a strange guess forming in his mind.

The information on the cardboard of the Iksumbeam also appeared in sequence:

He got here through that guy Kim.

"I knew it!!"

Du'en immediately clapped his hands and jumped up and down in anger:

"Besides that guy Kim, who else could have helped someone get here?!"

Duen just thought of that bastard right away:

"So he gave everyone else access here, but not me!!"

"And then he even changed my name! That's outrageous!!"

Du'en was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath:

"Next time I see him, I'm definitely going to give him a good scolding!!"

Lister completely ignored this idiot and continued to ask von Clay:

Do you know Jin?

"Yes, we met at the Two-Headed Wolf's place before."

Von Clay put it succinctly.

A two-headed wolf...

Ida and Elena, who had been listening the whole time, looked on with understanding.
