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

Grass-type moves cover a wide range, including physical attacks such as Vine Whip and Leaf Blade, and energy attacks such as Solar Beam and Solar Flare.

There are also many auxiliary skills, such as hypnotic powder, paralysis powder, and parasitic seeds, making it relatively versatile.

With the newly acquired [Sage Body], he can barely serve as a beggar's version of the ninja god Hashirama Senju.

Previously, his type attacks were limited to ice, but now he has added grass, or rather wood, types, making him more adept at dealing with various situations.

I wonder when a fire-type ability will be introduced?

Although fire-based abilities are commonplace in various works, they still have many merits.

For example, when dealing with gold and silver ingots, it would have been easier if he had fire-type abilities, such as the fire-type Zanpakuto Ryujin Jakka.

Lynn walked into the courtyard, bathed in the moonlight, and spread his hands out in palms, with streaks of emerald green light flashing across them.

Suddenly, multiple vines extended from the ground in the courtyard, attacking a rockery and shattering it.

Peng!

Gravel flew everywhere, accompanied by a little dust.

"Not bad." Lynn nodded slightly, very satisfied with the power.

After all, he had only just mastered it and hadn't used much Nen. As he grows, one day he will be able to unleash devastating wood-type techniques like Hashirama Senju.

Tree-people reaching thousands of meters in height, or the arrival of a flower-tree world spanning hundreds of miles—these are not unattainable dreams.

Besides its wide range of applications, the Grass element has another very distinctive effect: the replenishment of vitality and energy.

He saw the vines shimmer with light, gradually drawing energy from the earth, and then he felt a slight replenishment of energy within his body.

Energy does not come from nothing; it is usually drawn from enemies or from nature to restore itself.

Therefore, this is more conducive to him fighting a protracted war.

However, he currently lacks the ability and the scope of his control, so nature can only provide so much energy. Perhaps he can draw more energy from powerful enemies.

After all, a strong person is equivalent to a high-density energy body, and the difficulty of absorption depends on the situation.

If circumstances allow, he can apply various status effects to enemies, such as [Parasitic Seed], [Poison Powder], and [Paralysis Powder]. This not only depletes the enemy's energy but also transfers it to himself, greatly increasing his chances of winning.

Lynn was in a good mood after gaining another great ability.

Since he has nothing to do right now and isn't in a hurry to travel to a new location to level up, he can take a vacation in Youkexin and wait until the [Immortal Body] is fully fused before taking any action.

He has also tentatively set his next target location.

It was Jin and his companions who created Greed Island, a special game created by Nen, filled with a dazzling array of cards.

That special game island is full of peculiar elements, which may generate characteristic bars and give him useful cards.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Lynn also enjoyed a blissful time at Youkexin.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window into an exceptionally spacious bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

There was a specially made king-size bed here, big enough to accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time; there were already nine people there.

Lynn slowly opened his eyes. He found himself in a soft environment, surrounded by many character cards. The comfortable atmosphere made it extremely easy to relax.

The eight confidantes are Tsunade, Yoruichi, Yoto Hime, Yuki Onna, Zashiki, Erina, Pudding, and Menchi.

The first seven are his character cards, but strictly speaking, only the last one, Menqi, is his "female lead." After spending a long time together, Menqi officially became one of his confidantes.

That's why we have this amazing scene right now.

Lynn appreciated it without any reservation.

Fortunately, most of the eight women were exceptionally talented.

It must be admitted that living with everyone every day is a great test of strength, after all, he has to deal with a lot of things every day, not to mention that Tsunade, Yoruichi and others are all strong people.

This shows that he is also exceptionally gifted.

Immersed in this atmosphere every day, he was unaware of how he had fallen to such a state; wine and women had damaged him too deeply.

Starting today, I will abstain from alcohol!

Lynn cursed inwardly, and as he stood up, he casually patted Tsunade on the shoulder, which made the latter let out a soft snort.

After getting up, Lynn first carried out her daily basic activities.

Meanwhile, Menchi and Erina were in charge of cooking breakfast.

As the team grows larger and thanks to the Saitama trade, they frequently receive high-quality food from recent trades with Toriko.

Therefore, most character cards now have awakened their gourmet cells.

However, this also led to an increasing workload for the two chefs. Despite the assistance of the [Eternal Spirit Knife] and the [Dragon Turning Pot], it was still a heavy job.

Therefore, Menchi and Erina are now in charge of the core processes, while some time-consuming simple procedures and relatively ordinary ingredient handling are left to other servants in the kitchen.

It's doing alright for now, but Lynn is also planning to find an opportunity to bring out another chef, just in case.

As for the Gourmet Hunter, he didn't really consider it.

After all, the ingredients he brought out were not simple; they could be considered one of his secrets, and it was not appropriate to reveal them to non-characters.

So far, only three people know that he can continuously produce high-quality ingredients: Menchi, Leorio, and Kurapika.

The former was his woman, and the latter two were his loyal disciples.

Furthermore, Menchi is already one of the top Gourmet Hunters.

After learning from Erina and handling so many high-end ingredients, her culinary skills probably surpass those of Lin Nie, the founder of Gourmet Paradise, and it would be difficult to find a second one.

All things considered, it would be more appropriate to release another chef character card. There are plenty of amazing chefs in the myriad worlds, such as Sanji from One Piece, Setsuno from Toriko, and MasterChef...

Today happens to be the day for the transaction with Saitama and Toriko.

After breakfast, as usual, he first traded with Saitama and obtained the [Demon-level Monster Corpse], which was the corpse of a bird-like monster. Then he had Menchi and Erina cook it before trading with Toriko.

Basically, by following this process, you can get A+ grade ingredients from Toriko.

【Successful transaction】

Satisfaction rating: A+

[Client's review: A wonderful poultry dish! It gave me a very novel experience, and the taste was delicious. Please accept this ingredient; I look forward to enjoying more delicious food in the future.]

[Reward: Eggs of birds, beasts, tigers, and chickens (A+)]

……

【Name: Eggs of Birds, Beasts, Tigers, and Chickens】

Grade: A+

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Gourmet Devil]

[Description: Captured a level 50 Tiger Chicken. Its eggs are delicious and contain abundant energy. There are two eggs in total. Consuming them will greatly improve physical fitness and may awaken Gourmet Cells.]

The tiger-chicken is a peculiar creature that only lays its eggs in places it prefers, and may even lay them in the same place its entire life.

Its meat itself isn't particularly delicious; its real value lies in its eggs, which are said to be worth billions per egg.

Seeing this, Lynn handed the ingredients directly to Menchi and the other person, which was perfect for today's lunch. Just thinking about being able to taste A+ grade food again made his eyes light up.

While waiting for lunch, he discovered that Leorio had successfully broken through to A- rank, meaning he could harvest again.

So, under the guise of "inspection," Leorio was made to fall on his backside again.

This was the case when I first started studying, and it remained the same even after I reached A- level.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this situation will likely continue, as his strength will always surpass that of Leorio and Kurapika.

Leorio, a student who looks older than his age, did not disappoint him and successfully obtained an A card.

What surprised him even more was that this card was unusual.

【Name: Horse Talisman】

[Grade: A-]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Jackie Chan Adventures]

[Introduction: It can treat diseases and relieve abnormal conditions to a certain extent, but it cannot prevent the natural death of life.]

Leorio actually dropped the Horse Charm!

Lynn pondered for a moment, guessing that it was because of Dr. Leorio's identity that the talisman had something in common with the horse talisman that could cure diseases, and that the talisman was created by chance.

The Horse Talisman can cure diseases and remove abnormal states. Although it is only A- grade, it is still a good gain.

The appearance of the Horse Talisman also had another meaning, letting him know that it wasn't only the twelve earthly branches that could produce the twelve talismans.

That's true, I've never seen a card be tied to a specific person.

It's just that certain special groups of people are more likely to get the corresponding cards.

For example, the Rabbit (卯) of the Twelve Earthly Branches bursts forth with a Rabbit Talisman.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath reveals the sword of the captain, a symbol of rage, from the manga/anime series "The Seven Deadly Sins".

Lunch was ready in no time.

dining room.

The long, straight table was covered with tableware. Lynn sat in the main seat, flanked by character cards and his apprentices.

Menchi and Erina pushed the food cart in, bringing dishes to the table one by one. Even before they opened the cart, you could smell the enticing aroma.

"It smells so good~" Chopper twitched his nose, looking intoxicated.

Despite having eaten many delicacies, including A+ level ones, it never gets tired of this level of food, no matter how many times it eats it.

When everyone opened the lid, beams of golden light came into view.

The light dimmed slightly, but it never completely disappeared; it turned out that the food itself was golden in color.

Apart from the two chefs, Menchi and Erina, everyone else was very surprised and excited, having never seen such delicious food before.

This is fried rice made with A+ grade bird, beast, and tiger eggs and A grade golden rice, plus other ingredients. It seems to have gone beyond the scope of what "fried rice" should be.

Lynn looked closely and saw that the grains of rice were all separate, each one coated with a uniform golden color and carrying a unique aroma that went straight to his nose, making him very hungry.

Even the most stoic eater will find their appetite whetted upon seeing such high-class cuisine, completely immersing themselves in a culinary paradise.

At this moment, everyone had only one unwavering thought in their minds.

eat!

Lynn's mouth was watering uncontrollably, and when she came to her senses, she realized she had already taken a big bite.

When that big mouthful of rice entered his mouth, Lynn felt an indescribable taste bursting in his mouth.

Lynn's eyes widened instantly, but his mouth didn't stop, chewing frantically.

The alluring aroma danced on his tongue, instantly awakening all his taste buds.

The rice grains break apart with a gentle touch between your teeth. The outer layer is slightly crispy from being fried in egg, while the inside still retains the original flavor of the rice, perfectly showcasing the deliciousness of both.

Even before it entered his mouth, Lynn's saliva was already flowing rapidly, and he kept swallowing.

Once inside her mouth, Lynn chewed tirelessly, squeezing out every last drop of flavor.

After swallowing, a warm sensation rose from his stomach and quickly spread throughout his body, as if he were in a hot spring.

Every cell in my body is frantically demanding, like rain after a long drought, digesting that life energy.

To date, he has three abilities related to eating.

【Food Cells】: Transforming food into power.

[Power of Devouring] can enhance the effects of consuming food.

[Life Return], increases digestive capacity, and accumulates energy from food, etc.

The three abilities worked together during this process, and the fusion of the [Immortal Body] was also coming to an end. He could feel his body gradually changing, and the spiritual energy on the surface of his body was becoming more and more vigorous.
