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

"Let's see how effective this auspicious remedy is."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lynn felt that after drawing the lucky number, she seemed to have the confidence that she could succeed at anything.

Filled with inexplicable confidence, Lynn pulled the lever again, and the screen on the slot machine continued to scroll.

The image soon froze, showing a row of very pleasing 777s.

At the same time, the slot machine began to shake violently, and a colorful melody came from it.

This drew the attention of other players who were playing slot machines, who all noticed what was happening.

Whenever this happens, it means someone has won a big prize.

But when they saw the "risk dice" on the ground, the envy in their eyes quickly turned into mockery.

These people are long-time gamblers at Dulias, so they are well aware of the pros and cons of the [Risk Dice].

The big prize won with the "risk dice" will eventually have to be returned!

They are now preparing to stay away from Lynn and the other person, lest the backlash from the [Risk Dice] affect them.

Greed Island has a very low barrier to entry.

Anyone with Nen abilities can enter, but once inside Greed Island, one needs to reach the [Port] in the game and obtain the [Leave] card to escape the game.

As a result, many people have become trapped on Greed Island, unable to return to the real world.

Not to mention it's only August now, and Lynn's match at Sky Arena was held in March, just five months ago.

The weak cannot leave, while the strong are busy collecting cards, so players on Greed Island rarely venture outside.

Therefore, it would be difficult to recognize Lynn's face.

Lynn glanced at the ignorant ones, paying them no heed.

After winning the grand prize, the slot machine kept spewing out chips, which quickly piled up into a small mountain.

In addition to the mountain of chips of various colors, a card also appeared.

【Rainbow Diamond】, an A-grade card, and also the 79th limited card.

You can win big prizes by using the "Risk Dice" at the slot machine in Durias.

Because the probability of getting a lucky roll on the [Risk Dice] is 19 out of 20.

Therefore, this card is one of the easier cards to obtain among the A-level cards.

The Rainbow Diamond is a gemstone that sparkles with seven colors. It is said that if you propose with this diamond as a gift, the success rate is 100%.

As long as they have the gem in their hands, the two will never be separated.

Looking at the description above, Menqi's pretty face flushed slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Lynn's lips curled up slightly, and he said softly:

[gain!]

As the sound rang out, the card in Lynn's hand vanished instantly, replaced by a large, colored diamond.

Diamonds are dazzling and colorful, radiating a magnificent hue under the light, making them very eye-catching.

Although it may not be quite as beautiful as one of the world's seven most beautiful gems, it is still a top-tier gem in the market.

"This is for you."

Lynn casually placed the colored diamond into Menchi's hand.

Although Lynn thought it was probably just a platitude, similar to "a diamond is forever," he wasn't sure if it actually had any effect.

But it does look quite pretty, and it would be perfect as a gift for Mench, who is a woman.

"Thank you." Menqi smiled gently, her gaze softening, and then quietly admired the diamond Lynn had given her.

Lynn then continued to roll the dice.

He planned to test what would happen if he threw a "bad" number.

The dice rolled silently, no longer displaying the same "good fortune" all the time, but instead "bad luck"!

This was his twelfth throw, and finally, he got a "bad" result.

"It's finally out."

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

According to the instructions of the [Risk Dice], the danger I will face next is the sum of the previous eleven good luck periods, that is, eleven times the bad luck!

Menchi, who was standing next to her, had already put away the Rainbow Diamond and was also curious about what would happen next.

What happens when eleven instances of good luck are combined with bad luck?

The next moment, a vortex of black mist appeared in the sky, from which floated an old witch with an ugly face and a cloak, her laughter sharp and eerie, exuding an ominous aura.

Seeing this, the other players present quickly moved away, fearing they might be mistakenly killed.

That's one of the urban legends of Durias, and also the most dangerous boss.

Only extremely unlucky players have a chance to trigger this.

If you are lucky enough to pass the level, you will receive a reward.

For example, the S-rank card, "The Witch's Rejuvenation Elixir," can only be obtained through this one method.

This is a drug that reduces your age by one year with each pill, but the effects are only physical; your knowledge and memories will be retained. Be careful, though, as taking more than your actual age will kill you. One bottle contains one hundred pills.

If you fail to pass the level... your card will be taken away.

The witch lifted her cloak, her bulging eyes fixed on Lynn, billowing black smoke swirling around her, and slowly spoke:

"Fight or Card?!"

There are only two choices here: choose to fight, and you can only get rewards by defeating the witch; if you lose, all the designated cards will be deducted at once.

If you choose a card directly instead of a battle, half of the specified card will be deducted.

“Fight,” Lynn said calmly.

boom!

Immediately, the witch unleashed a powerful aura, billowing thick smoke, indicating she possessed roughly A-level strength, and lunged at Lynn below with bared fangs and claws.

The astonishing aura sent a shiver down the spines of the other players.

This level of skill already places them among the absolute masters in the gaming world.

However, when facing a witch, most people don't rely solely on their own strength, but rather use the cards they've collected to fight. Even if they're a little weaker, they still have a chance to win. Basically, no one doesn't use cards.

Lynn may be the first.

When the witch lunged at him, Lynn simply raised his hand.

A card shot out at lightning speed, struck the witch, and exploded, freezing her completely in an intense icy state.

It exploded in an instant, turning into countless ice dust particles.

Witch, die!

Even a simple move was too much for the witch to handle.

But this is not because the witch is too weak, but because Lynn is too strong.

Upon witnessing this scene, the other players stared wide-eyed as if they had seen something unbelievable... That terrifying witch was instantly killed in one move?!

After the witch disappeared, a card floated in mid-air.

It is an S-grade anti-aging drug.

Lynn casually put the book inside, then left with Menchi.

Unfortunately, witches cannot be used to obtain cards, because strictly speaking, monsters like witches are "spirit beasts" and not independent entities.

After leaving the casino, Lynn went to meet up with Leorio and the other person, but shortly after they met, they heard a loud explosion.

When the four arrived, the place was already surrounded by a crowd of players and NPCs who had come to watch the spectacle. In the middle of the open space was the corpse of a player, whose body had been blown open.

"A hunt between players?" Kurapika frowned.

After playing the game for more than half a month, they also realized that the game was not as peaceful and tranquil as it seemed on the surface.

Since many people want to complete the game, or even complete it in an effortless way, instead of honestly doing tasks to find cards, it's easier to just go after other players and snatch them directly.

A lucky few might survive the robbery, but most would be killed along with the victims, suffering a permanent death.

Among the many murderers, the most notorious is the "Bomber." It is said that he is skilled in using explosive abilities, and anyone he targets ends up dead.

The original owner of this corpse was most likely also killed by the bomber.

Kurapika narrowed his eyes, secretly observing the others.

Although the specific conditions of the ability are unknown, this person has just died, and there is a certain possibility that the bomb monster is still nearby and has not gone far.

They might even be on the field pretending not to know.

Soon, the player's corpse disappeared from the spot, the surrounding NPCs dispersed automatically, and the player in the crowd was suddenly exposed.

Upon seeing that Lynn and his three companions were new faces, a man named Nickens took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Nickens is a member of the "Breaking Through the Gates" group on Greed Island. They are basically all commissioned by the tycoon Batra and work together to collect cards.

Adhering to the principle that many hands make light work, they extend invitations to new players whenever they encounter them. The team is quite large and is the largest team in Greed Island.

Lynn did not refuse and chose to go with Nickens.

If he remembered correctly, there was a cunning old fox in the Breakthrough Group who loved playing with bombs. He was considered one of the stronger players on Greed Island, and it was worth a trip.

Chapter 206 The Killer Queen! The Death of the Bomber!

While Nickens and his group were resting in Dulias, Lynn and his three companions arrived at an open space. There were five people there, all of whom were Nickens's companions.

One of the blond men, dressed in a white robe, caught Lynn's attention.

His features are those of a classic "villain." High cheekbones and sunken cheeks give him an air of meanness and shrewdness.

They even have eyes with a lot of white showing, meaning their pupils are small.

Gan Shu was aware of her appearance, so she usually pretended to be a soft-spoken coward who seemed afraid to talk to people.

"Everyone, these four are newcomers who want to join our Breakthrough Group," Nickens introduced to his companions with a smile.

With the addition of four members at once, the team has grown considerably.

In this card collecting game, every additional person brings more hope. Only by uniting everyone and pooling our strength can we work together to overcome the challenges.

"That's wonderful. I'll have to rely on you all from now on." Gan Shu smiled and extended her hand to shake hands with Lynn, who was closest to her. "You all made a wise choice to join us. Individual abilities are really limited here, not to mention there are bombs..."

Gan Shu's words came to an abrupt halt as Lynn took a half-step back to avoid shaking hands with him, which made him somewhat embarrassed, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Even so, he never expected the truth, since his Nen ability information had always been well protected, and apart from his two companions, no third person knew about it.

They assumed that Lynn was arrogant and didn't want to shake hands with him.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking down on you."

"Oh wait, that statement doesn't seem wrong either; I do look down on you."

Lynn spoke slowly and calmly, looking at the disguised Gan Shu in front of him, and slowly revealed the truth that the latter had been hiding.

"It must have been tough infiltrating the Breakthrough Group for so many years, you bomb demon."

Upon hearing this, Gan Shu's superb acting skills allowed him to remain outwardly calm, revealing a puzzled expression, while inwardly he was experiencing a storm of emotions.

Has his identity been exposed?

But why? Is it the effect of his Nen ability?

Lynn's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating turbulent waves. Nickens and the others' first reaction was to question it.

Gan Shu is a veteran of the Breakthrough Group, having worked with them for several years. How could he possibly be the so-called "Bomb Demon"?

Unlike the others, Menchi, Leorio, and Kurapika firmly believed Lynn's explanation.

If he said that, he must be right.
