The Daily Life of Saiki Kusuo in Zoldyck

Your true intentions have been completely exposed, Mi Ji.

Chapter 77 Saiki Kusuo's Doppelganger

“I know something really interesting, bro, you could never do it!” Milluki decided to take a roundabout approach.

Kusuo Saiki calmly fiddled with the chip that Milluki had just created. Clearly, with proper guidance, Milluki's talent and interest could rival that of a scientific "half-baked" like himself.

All along, Kusuo Saiki has only been creating technological products based on the known future. It would be very difficult for him to invent anything on his own.

Because superpowers are almost omnipotent, and what superpowers cannot do, science cannot do either.

Asking him to do R&D and backward compatibility is too much like asking someone who can drive a ready-made excavator to learn how to build one out of building blocks, since the building blocks are always prone to breaking.

It's really tough.

It's good that Milluki wants something; wanting something motivates people to work hard to get it. Desire has always been a positive driving force for humanity.

The situation between the family and Kusuo Saiki is rather special. The amount of money involved with him is nearly half of the Zoldyck family's assets, which has a far-reaching impact. Therefore, the accounts between them have always been kept clear.

20 billion?! Miki's eyes widened in disbelief. Could science really be that profitable? With his current abilities, he could only earn a maximum of 60 million for a long-distance mission!

"Brother! Are you serious?!" Milluki exclaimed with joy, suddenly hugging Saiki Kusuo tightly.

Although he already knew from his heart that Milluki wanted to hug him, Saiki Kusuo did not dodge in advance.

What's going on? One or two of them seem to really like interacting with people. Superpowered people are dangerous, really.

“No, brother! How long will the experiment take to complete…” Miki asked.

Knowing that Milluki was worried about time, Saiki Kusuo answered quickly.

Mi Ji's inner thoughts:

The auction is on September 10th? That's still a long way off. Kusuo Saiki thought to himself, and remembered the date.

However, it's impossible to exchange 200 billion yen directly from home using the hardware technology of a large-screen phone. Kusuo Saiki covered his mouth and thought. Only when it is matched with a corresponding system can it be a real smartphone. He is not very good at programming. Programming cannot be read or written. It would be too difficult for Milluki to program.

Why don't we check the hunter websites to see if anyone can hire us? Just like how we met Jin back then, maybe we'll meet someone else.

Kusuo Saiki logged onto the Hunter x Hunter website and linked his account there, only to find a message from a friend in his inbox.

The hunter requests to add him as a friend.

Thieves and knights-errant should be the way to go, right? But... Kusuo Saiki thought to himself, if anyone helps with the programming of software, there is a possibility of leakage, so a strict investigation is necessary, but if it's a knight-errant...

The members of the Phantom Troupe are not influenced by anything other than their interests and the troupe itself. They cannot be bought off by money, relationships, status, or any other things. In other words, they are very reliable.

Transactions between Nen users can be arranged through an oath by Milluki. If one party intends to use the system to harm Zoldyck or leak information, the other party will immediately know… an unexpectedly feasible possibility. Shojiro's ability is closely related to mobile phones; it's unclear if he's interested in this new type of phone. Kusuo Saiki connects with a friend…

The experiment went very smoothly. Milluki already had a talent for this, and now he was even more motivated by a whopping 200 billion yen. At 12 years old, Milluki had never seen so much money before. He forgot all about anime and devoted himself wholeheartedly to assisting Saiki Kusuo in his research.

Meanwhile, the knights-errant agreed to help after seeing the concept of a full-screen phone, but only for three months, and they wanted the first batch of finished products.

And so, Kusuo Saiki began his long research, which lasted for more than five months, while staying at home.

The large-screen phone brought about a major upgrade in information transmission. After gradually improving some things, Saiki Kusuo took away a few finished products that could be used in the basic stage, handed over the basic ones to the research team he had assembled, and took a short vacation to leave home.

On August 28, the spaceship placed him in a relatively remote city to evade Illumi's pursuit.

"Young Master Nanxiong, are you traveling alone?" Ziponian appeared behind him with a kind face.

Yes, of course. Even if you turn into a vehicle and follow me, you'll teleport away instantly. Please stop tracking me, okay?

Faced with Saiki Kusuo's gaze, Zipanian knew he was powerless to stop it.

“Young Master Nanxiong is now an adult, and the family has no intention of supervising you excessively. However, if you are out traveling, you can actually rely more on the strength of the Zoldyck family…” Zipanian said.

So that's the reason. But when problems arise, it's much faster for superpowered individuals to handle them themselves than for the Zoldyck family to investigate.

Saiki Kusuo said.

He looked away, turned around, and disappeared from the spot, right in front of Ziponian and her mother, who was watching the monitor on the other side of her glasses.

Somewhere in the Dark Continent.

Kusuo Saiki untied the black cloth from his right wrist. The white part inside had been growing at a slow rate since halfway through that day, so there was no need to be so nervous.

But after the last crisis, and now that he's in the Hunter x Hunter world, he understands that anything can happen in this dangerous place, especially since he'll likely be involved in the story later. To prevent the next accident from directly destroying the world, he needs to restore his bracers in advance!

Kusuo Saiki took off the wristband. After wearing it for three years, the wristband actually showed some resistance after the energy level dropped to half. Kusuo Saiki couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Oh? You eat what restores my power, and you still dare to resist me?

Kusuo Saiki slightly and proactively unleashed his superpowers.

The wristband greedily tried to devour it, but found that it was like hitting an incredibly hard, transparent barrier, unable to get close!

The wristband was successfully removed.

Oh dear, I thought you were so stubborn. Don't you know how to use the power you've already absorbed?

With his powerful superpowers suddenly returning, Kusuo Saiki, even though he was mentally prepared, found it difficult to control. At that moment, everything around him suddenly slowed down, and every rustle of wind and movement seemed to move incredibly slowly, as if a movie had been slowed down.

what happened?

Kusuo Saiki moved his eyes to sense his surroundings. Slowing down time wasn't his superpower. Oh, what a coincidence, a giant creature made up of a combination of an eyeball and tentacles came into the vicinity.

Kusuo Saiki communicates his innermost thoughts to living beings, so there are no language problems because his language directly addresses the soul, and any living being can understand it.

However, the ability to slow everything down within a certain range did help him a little.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the world.

An elder suddenly exclaimed in horror, “Oh no, the world is going to be destroyed!”

"Huh? Weren't you just talking about the crackdown on the gangs?"

"My abilities are unreliable under normal circumstances, but this time it's absolutely real! The world is about to be destroyed, and a massive amount of energy is about to sweep across the continent! Where is our strongest fighting force?"

"The Phantom Troupe should all be heading to Yorknew City by now. They just set off this morning, and they probably won't get any signal while passing through that area..."

"How could this happen? Is this fate? Oh well... there's nothing they can do even if they come back..."

Neon wrote a prophetic poem, which her father, as usual, glanced at first, since it was always the father who interpreted the poem.

"Dad, I've told you so many times, you have to leave me when you're reading the poem. If I know the contents of the prophecy, it will become inaccurate..."

"Nion!! What did you predict?! Did you write it wrong?!"

"Hey? Dad, don't say it! Fate is fate, get out!"

"It's definitely a mistake! Say it again! The world actually..."

"Dad must have misunderstood! Get out!"

Abnormalities began to occur in many parts of the world, with network outages and turbulent seas.

An unusual phenomenon occurred, revealing a dark sun.

Busy people started to stop what they were doing and look up at the sky, and people started asking around what had happened.

The concept of the end of the world quietly appeared in people's minds for the first time.

On the other side, Kusuo Saiki had just calmed down when he used his recovery ability on his wristband.

The wristband was recreated seven years ago.

However, the materialized energy that had been absorbed by the wristband did not disappear. Time rewinds, and in an instant, they become uncontrollable energy bodies with nowhere to go!

It was the worst possible outcome! The moment Kusuo Saiki saw the energy, he realized that keeping them alive would cause a lot of trouble.

Well, well, this is one of the many possibilities that could be expected. Letting such a powerful force remain here will only lead to a massive explosion; it must be quickly consumed by him.

With so much power, how do we use it?

In the past, he might have used a solution like teleporting 10000000 times in a second.

However, since Kusuo Saiki has been exposed to computer languages ​​and knows about the internal consumption methods of computers, designing a few superpowers for them to consume on their own is the simplest solution.

It's likened to a supercomputer; all it does is create complex errors to cause the supercomputer CPU to crash and run out of energy.

This is a preliminary concept.

Kusuo Saiki did a lot of work on the maintenance of Greed Island in his early years. Greed Island is obviously different from the ordinary games he has made so far. The Greed Island game is based on a real island and is transformed by Nen abilities.

Some of the bugs that were fixed in the game have become his inspiration and solutions.

Destroying a place is simple and doesn't require much power; a single super-powered bomb could probably wipe out the entire continent. However, gamifying a place and causing troublesome and meaningless changes for various strange settings would consume far more super-powered energy!

The above thought process took 0.4 seconds.

Kusuo Saiki used a clone.

Saiki Kusuo's ability to create clones can only be used once, but clones can also create clones, so in principle, he can create clones indefinitely.

The clones are subtly different from the original, perhaps in personality or appearance. Many hands make light work, so Kusuo Saiki wanted to summon a bunch of clones first. Their appearance didn't matter; no one in the Dark Continent would care.

In other words, even if you split yourself into 40 different forms, it doesn't matter if you end up as a dark creature.

...It probably doesn't matter.

"Greed Island, the Dark Continent version? Interesting."

Kusuo Saiki turned to look at his first clone. "So, he actually likes to talk? Just think about it, don't say the name Greed Island out loud. The defendant is really plagiarizing... huh?"

Kusuo Saiki noticed that the clone next to him had white hair.

The Zoldyck family's genes are showing too much at this time. You are Silva's true son. Release Killua and go home.

"Oh dear, I have no interest in being the head of the household. All human thought is within our telepathy; what's so interesting about being the head of the household?"

Interesting? He never expected to hear that word come out of "himself's" mouth. Saiki Kusuo glanced at him a couple more times.

Is it because of his white hair? Did his white hair cause a genetic mutation like Killua's? Making him the only one in the family who's rebellious?

No, wake up, how could that be? However, this clone does seem to have a different way of thinking than me.

Different ways of thinking... Kusuo Saiki did not forcefully compel the other party to summon a new clone. He had great faith in the first-generation clone because it was undoubtedly the closest to himself.

Do you have any suggestions for this ball of energy in front of you?

"Conquer the world."

I take back what I just said; genetic mutations are truly terrifying.

"Why not conquer the Dark Continent world through a game?"
