Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Iksumbe believes that the number of people who click in based on this kind of attraction is definitely not large.

Even very few.

Most of them fell victim to von Clay's designs.

"Isn't that because the 'chat room' was just built, and there's a limit to the number of people it can accommodate online at the same time?"

Von Klay analyzed the situation logically and with evidence:

"Moreover, in this day and age, it's extremely rare for ordinary people to afford a mobile phone."

"Only professional hunters can afford to have one of these."

"And also~"

A sly smile also appeared on von Clay's face:

"If even professional hunters can't detect it, then it means this method is very successful and effective, right?"

Iksumbe: [...]

Once again, he was unable to refute it.

Because this time, von Klay was right.

He really didn't expect that so many different options could be found on a single interface.

The interface principle that even Pjørn was affected by is actually quite simple.

Would you like to join the chat room, read short stories, leave comments, and win amazing gifts? Accept/Decline

Most professional hunters chose to "decline".

However, on the far left of this rejection, there is actually a small inverted triangle.

Clicking this inverted triangle will bring up a drop-down menu.

The first line of the drop-down menu reads, "I'll think about it and enter again in three seconds."

The second line is: "I really refuse."

By default, clicking "Reject" will always consider the first option.

That is, enter after three seconds.

When Iksumbe learned about this operation, he was truly amazed.

This is truly an eye-opener, like a knife pulling out a butt.

So it's possible to do it this way?!

What impressed Iksumbe the most was...

Most mobile phone users have a white background screen and generally don't think about changing it.

And the small inverted triangle drop-down logo designed by von Klay...

It is also designed to be pure white.

And it's borderless.

This means that even though the dropdown icon is on the far left of the "Reject" button, it is basically unnoticed by most people.

This is to create a visual difference.

The inspiration for this design came from some university students' graduation theses.

He was required to write 4,000 words, but he couldn't write any more, so he just typed a line of text and then used only colorless or white text.

This is impossible to see on a blank sheet of paper.

Or you could type a bunch of periods and then shrink them all to the minimum size, making them completely invisible.

It can be said that some people have already made quite successful progress in this area.

Von Clay was just borrowing it.

Of course, his actions were somewhat opportunistic, but they also gave those who had fallen victim to the scheme a chance to back out.

"As long as they don't keep pressing the 'back' button like crazy, they should be able to get out smoothly."

Von Klay shrugged.

"But they seem to be in too much of a hurry."

"What's their rush?"

When von Clay said this, it had a rather sarcastic tone.

Yes, anyone with a cell phone at home who is elderly knows this.

Those nine-key mobile phones have a narrow screen; remember our domain name: [domain name omitted], and you can read exciting content anytime. The red "back" button is only located in the bottom right corner.

Anyone who's used to going backwards will ignore any problems their phone has.

If the page freezes, won't open, or you've entered the wrong page, just press this button to exit.

This is an action that is ingrained in almost everyone who uses a mobile phone.

But it was precisely this action that cut off their last chance to withdraw.

"We didn't intend to deceive them or do anything to them; we just pulled them into the 'chat room.'"

Von Clay spoke with complete candor and utmost integrity:

"If they figure it out later, they can actually withdraw again."

Yes, it was precisely because of the three mechanisms that allowed mobile phone users to opt out that Iksumbe was able to successfully send this message to other users.

Then they encountered some self-proclaimed "shrewd" professional hunters, and they all fell into a trap.

It can be said that this study has thoroughly understood people's daily habits and mindset regarding using mobile phones.

Now I finally understand...

The same line of text suddenly reappeared on the cardboard of the Iksumbes:

Why did that guy, Kim, give you that invitation number?

You're just like him, you're both bastards!!

The graffiti on Iksumbe's face revealed an expression of absolute certainty.

This kind of manipulative behavior is absolutely infuriating.

He's exactly the same as that bastard King Freecss!

"Don't put me on the same level as that guy with low emotional intelligence, thank you."

Von Klay directly declined to acknowledge it.

Compared to King Freecss, he was still quite humane.

At least he gave them the opportunity to withdraw.

Well, it all depends on whether the other party can seize the opportunity.

Meanwhile, inside the Hunter Association headquarters building.

"Potterbai!!!"

Pjørn's shrill voice echoed throughout the entire floor.

The staff in the building, who were preparing to leave work or were about to work overtime, were all startled.

Pjorn, however, paid no attention to the astonished and strange looks from those people.

He rushed straight into Porter's office next door.

Yes, as an ancient text hunter, Pjorn has his own office here and needs to go to work because of his job.

Meanwhile, another professional hunter who remained here was Potterbai.

They volunteered to help the Hunter Association and specifically stayed behind to help with the work.

"What is it now?!"

At this moment, his face, though slightly younger, already showed a resolute and courageous air. His square face was very serious as he looked at Pjorn, who had barged in in a whirlwind.

"Can't you be a little more composed?"

Upon seeing this, Porter frowned:

"If you keep being so reckless, what if you make a mistake in translating ancient texts?"

"You should know that even a slight difference in the radical or component of a character can change its meaning."

"This can lead to a distorted meaning in the entire sentence, or even the entire chapter or page."

"It could even have a certain impact on the study of ancient history!!"

He was there, like a dutiful leader, correcting Pjorn's mistakes.

"Don't worry about that for now!"

Pjorn also knew that Porter's actions stemmed from his strong sense of responsibility and that everything he did was for the sake of his work, considering issues from a work perspective.
