Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

From this perspective, she and Chopper are both versatile healers, capable of fighting, healing the wounded, and even providing group healing.

She has made a contract with slugs, which allows her to summon numerous slug clones at once by consuming chakra, thus healing a large number of wounded soldiers.

Although the A+ grade cards didn't perform as well as the original work, he was still very satisfied. It should be said that among the four types of cards, character cards are the most valuable and cost-effective.

A+ level ability cards only grant one ability; how you use it is crucial. Item cards are similar.

Trading cards are even worse, ranking at the bottom of the four types of cards, unless they are long-term trading cards, in which case there is something to say.

Character cards are different.

She is a living, breathing person, not an ability or a prop. She can do a lot of things, and is an extra combat unit.

Furthermore, Tsunade possesses a wide variety of abilities, almost equivalent to having many ability cards.

His meticulous preparations paid off, and he successfully revealed the big gold.

In his opinion, revealing Tsunade's existence would be the best outcome.

Bisji and Tsunade's characteristics are too obvious: they can change their appearance to disguise themselves as children, possess great strength or amazing power, and even their abilities are biased towards support and healing.

So before this, he had assumed it was a card related to Tsunade. However, he thought it would be an ability card, such as Healing Palm Technique or Super Strength. He didn't expect it to be a big one, directly revealing the "big fat sheep" herself.

Upon closer reflection, his current lineup is indeed quite impressive.

Counting only A-rank characters, he has two A+ characters (Gengar and Tsunade), five A-rank characters (Zoro, Yoto Hime, Chopper, Capone Bege, and Yuki Onna), and one A-rank character (Dragonite), for a total of eight.

Including himself, this lineup can't win against anyone except someone of Netero's caliber!

In other words, with his current overall combat strength, he is already the number one person below S-rank!

A+ level is already top-tier combat power. Even among the top tier below V5, there aren't many in the internationally influential Kingdom of Reges. So far, he has only seen two A+ level individuals.

One was the middle-aged man with flames who joined forces with Bisgei to fight Shuten-dōji that day, and the other was King Geiz.

With his current strength, unless a forbidden weapon like the "Rose of the Poor" is used, or a true powerhouse like Netero or King is needed, it will be very difficult to defeat him.

Obtaining Tsunade's A+ rank greatly boosted his confidence.

In this way, he has even less to worry about the possible changes that may occur in a few days.

A while ago, Amy confided in a few close friends that she needed to do something important near the end of the month, as there was a small chance that Yingren Kingdom would launch an attack.

The reason it's a low probability event is because the difference in strength is too great.

Originally, their Kingdom of Reges was stronger than the Kingdom of Yingren. However, after Shuten-dōji died and the Kingdom of Yingren suffered retaliatory attacks, the gap between them widened further.

Moreover, with the day of the king's succession approaching, most of the Reges royal family members are gathered in the capital, making it the time when their power is most concentrated.

Even if the Yingren Kingdom were to mobilize all its forces and fight them with a do-or-die spirit, the chances of winning would be very slim.

Normally, nothing should happen.

However, the people of Yingren cannot be explained by common sense. Due to their special training methods, the Nen users of Yingren, especially those from the [Hyakki] organization, tend to act in extreme ways.

As the situation worsens day by day, one might act rashly and make some unbelievable choice.

Amy took this into consideration, so she specifically reminded the group that they could either leave the capital for a while or stay, but they should be mentally prepared.

Although the possibility is low, it is not 100% impossible.

They had no intention of leaving and chose to stay.

He didn't know what others thought, but he thought it was a good opportunity. Right now, he couldn't wait to have more enemies so that they could become nutrients for his growth.

Besides, he has a grudge against Yingren Kingdom, so it's time to settle the score.

Wealth and honor should not be taken away from one's hometown, for it is like wearing fine clothes at night. He did not deliberately avoid it when he was not strong, and now that he is powerful, there is no need for him to hide.

If anyone comes looking for us, just kill them!

He now has the ability to move freely.

Of course, as Amy said, this was a low-probability event, so he didn't have high hopes for it and remained calm.

Comparatively speaking, he was more concerned about the Phantom Troupe, who were about to arrive in the capital, since they were at least a definite target.

……

a few days later.

Gail, a native of the area, and the eldest prince led them on a tour of the capital.

The capital city of Reges covers a vast area and contains many distinctive buildings.

For example, there's a gladiatorial arena that resembles the ancient Roman Colosseum, and today they're going to the [Celebration Street].

As the name suggests, this is a place where celebrations take place 365 days a year.

Especially as the day of the king's inauguration approaches, the capital of Reges is filled with tourists from all over the six continents, making the celebration street even more lively than usual.

The festival street was bustling with all sorts of things, from performances and food stalls to vendors selling all kinds of novelties from all over the world. It was better than Siji and her group, but the most active were Lynn and his companions.

Lynn noticed that there were also local specialty ingredients being sold at roadside stalls. Just as she was about to ask the price, she saw a sign.

It turns out that you can choose not to pay at this stall, but you have to arm wrestle with the stall owner. If you win, you can take an ingredient without paying.

But if you lose, you have to pay double.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out the stall owner was a Nen user; no wonder he was so confident.

However, he is only a C-rank Nen user.

This kind of "competition" rule is not uncommon in Celebration Street, and even throughout the entire capital of Reges, perhaps due to the local martial culture.

Lynn didn't even need to lift a finger; he just had Zoro do it, and Zoro easily won the arm-wrestling match. He got the item without spending any money.

"Arm wrestling, it's the most common and simplest rule," Prince Chir remarked. "You need arm wrestling everywhere!"

"Only those with the strongest fists have the right to speak, and this has always been the belief of our Kingdom of Reges."

Upon hearing this, the straightforward Kang Jae casually asked, "Speaking of which, your sister is about to succeed you, don't you, as her older brother, have any other thoughts?"

“That’s impossible. I don’t have that kind of ambition,” Chil said, waving his hand.

"By the way, where can I buy swords?" Zoro asked the seemingly simple-minded eldest prince, his arms crossed and his expression calm.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince, Qi'er, pointed directly ahead: "Swords, I remember there's a large sword shop about two hundred meters down this road."

Thanks.

Zoro nodded, then jogged forward, and when he came to a crossroads, he made a sharp turn to the right and ran away, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

This action left Bisge, Leorio, and the others stunned.

The eldest prince, Qi'er, scratched his face. Had he said something wrong?

Seeing this, Chopper was filled with disbelief and immediately screamed, "Hey! Zoro! Weren't we going straight?! Why did you suddenly turn?!"

Chopper quickly ran after Zoro.

"What's going on? I just did what he said!" Zoro scratched his green hair, completely unaware that something was wrong.

"You didn't even realize you went the wrong way?" Chopper exclaimed in shock.

Zoro is very strong... but he's also very good at getting lost.

Then, under Chopper's watchful eye, Zoro strayed off course three times on the two-hundred-meter journey before finally arriving at the sword shop unharmed.

"Why am I suddenly so tired..." Chopper sighed.

"Marshmallows for sale! Reges' specialty, fist-shaped marshmallows!"

Hearing the shouts from the side, Chopper immediately smiled and ran over with small steps: "Give me two cotton candies!"

"Okay, thank you for your patronage, 1000 nuns!"

The shop owner was a very knowledgeable person. When he saw a raccoon cat speaking human language, he wasn't frightened at all, but replied normally.

"Here, Mr. Tanuki."

"It's a reindeer!"

Chopper pouted in response, but still paid immediately. Upon seeing the two fragrant and fluffy marshmallows, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

But before it could even take a bite, it suddenly "flew" up.

It turned out that Tsunade had picked it up and forced it to run to the casino next door.

"Hurry, hurry, there's a casino here!" Tsunade's eyes lit up, as if she had seen something very tempting, and she couldn't wait to run over.

Chopper, protecting the two marshmallows from being blown away by the wind, said with tears welling up in his eyes, "Why did you have to take me with you?"

"I heard from Lynn that you're lucky, so remember to help me win more later!"

Tsunade led Chopper into the casino in a flurry of activity. As soon as they entered, they heard the pleasant sound of dice being rolled. Their eyes quickly locked onto the table closest to the door, ready to gamble big.

But she didn't have much money on her at all.

As expected, Tsunade gambled away all the money she had on her very soon.

Tsunade, still not quite finished, casually asked Chopper:

"Chopper, do you have any money?"

Turning around, they saw Chopper hiding behind a pillar, only his head peeking out, clutching his waist pocket tightly, and nervously saying:

"I have no money, not a single penny..."

It had just witnessed firsthand how bad Tsunade's luck was!

Ten innings!

A full ten innings!

Tsunade lost every single game, not even one!

It was just a dice game, with only a 50/50 chance of winning or losing, but Tsunade didn't win a single round.

Chopper then realized just how bad Lynn's statement, "Tsunade has terrible luck at gambling," really meant.

"Chopper, just lend me a little bit of money, just a little." Tsunade approached Chopper, a sheepish smile on her face. "Trust me, I'll turn things around soon!"

"No, you'll definitely lose again, and I don't have much money left..." Chopper shook his head frantically, then hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I feel like giving you my money is like throwing it directly into the water..."

Chopper's honesty was like a knife to Tsunade's heart.

"Sigh~ If you don't want to give me money, then don't~" Tsunade said dramatically, appearing as a very pitiful person in Chopper's eyes.

The innocent and kind-hearted Chopper finally softened: "Okay, then I'll lend you some."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately beamed with joy and lifted Chopper high in the air: "Well done, I knew you were the easiest to fool... Thank you for your kindness!"

“But I’ll be the one to place the bets from now on; you can’t make a move,” Chopper said firmly. He simply didn’t dare let Tsunade do it.

She's a complete shredder, specializing in shredding money.

Chopper suspected that no matter how much money or time she was given, Tsunade wouldn't be able to win a single game, as if she were cursed.

"Well... alright." Tsunade hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The man and the deer returned to the gambling table.

Chopper didn't rush to bet; instead, he waited for Tsunade to choose "Big" before betting on "Small." Sure enough, the result was "Small."

The clever Chopper chose to counter Tsunade's pressure, thus ensuring his victory.

During this process, it also noticed that there was a girl with pinkish-purple hair on the other side, wearing a training robe, who kept winning.

Does it look familiar?

At this moment, Machi, who was sitting opposite, recognized Chopper as the "tanuki" who had been following Lynn. She remained calm on the surface, but secretly became more vigilant.

Since this "raccoon dog" is here, Lynn is very likely nearby.

Although Lynn didn't know that the Phantom Troupe was seeking revenge, he still had to be careful.

Maggie remained at the gambling table as time ticked by. Just as she was about to leave, a staff member came to inform her.

She almost forgot that this casino had a written rule: once someone wins a certain amount at the table, they can arrange a match between the top two winners, and the winner can take all the money the loser has won.

Of course, you can also choose to abstain, in which case half of the money will be given to the other party instead of all of it.

She even chose this store because of this point, as she felt that with her abilities, she was almost certain to succeed.

Machi and Tsunade were the first and second at their table.

Machi was a little conflicted.
