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

"Don't joke around, how could I possibly be that demon?" Gan Shu scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

But then Lynn recounted all sorts of information about Gan Shu in detail.

This includes, but is not limited to, Gan Shu's two companions, Gan Shu's plans, and Gan Shu's Nen abilities.

Years ago, Gan Shu and two of his companions entered Greed Island. Gan Shu himself joined the Breakthrough Group and infiltrated it, while his two companions acted independently.

During this period, Gan Shu planted bombs on every member of the Breakthrough Group, waiting to plunder the cards once they had collected enough.

Ganshu possesses two Nen abilities: [A Pinch of Gunpowder] and [Voice of Life].

The former is a simple transformation ability that can detonate Nen, while the latter is a conjuration ability, developed by Ganshu and his two partners.

When Gan Shu touches someone's body and says "Bomb Demon," he can install a Nen bomb, which is invisible to others before it is activated.

The activation conditions are that Gan Shu provides the installer with a detailed explanation of the installation capabilities, activation, explosive power, and deactivation methods.

The bomb's countdown begins at 6000, synchronized with the heartbeat of the person targeted. The bomb can be defused if the person touches Gan Shu and says "Catch the bomb demon"...

Gan Shu's "unintentional" action just now was actually an attempt to plant a bomb on him.

This also confirms the third point of the divination.

[A malicious uninvited guest brought a worthless gift of fireworks.]

After hearing Lynn's brief explanation, everyone was still in a state of surprise.

Gan Shu's heart was filled with even more gloom.

Since he knew so much about him, there was only one possibility he could think of... Lynn had attacked his partner!

Otherwise, Lynn wouldn't have known so much detail.

Although Gan Shu was cunning and treacherous, he cared deeply about his two companions. In the original story, after his defeat, he even begged Xiao Jie to spare his two companions. Therefore, thinking that his companions might be in danger, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"If you think what I just said was a lie, then use this questionnaire to verify its truth." Lynn took out a questionnaire, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Grade B cards, [regardless of the questionnaire]

Simply fill in questions about yourself on the form and hand it to someone else, and they will fill it in truthfully, such as their opinions of you.

If he writes down whether what he just said is correct, and then hands it to Gan Shu, Gan Shu will definitely write the word "correct".

"This...is indeed a good approach."

After a moment's hesitation, Nickens stepped forward. He was still somewhat skeptical of Lynn's words, but he dared not let his guard down.

So he looked at Gan Shu, who hadn't said a word, and said softly, "Just do as he says, that will also prove your innocence."

"Of course, you should be compensated after the clarification is done. You can't just be falsely accused like this."

Lynn casually replied, "I have no objection."

Gan Shu stared at the questionnaire, her eyes filled with gloom.

Dead end.

Today, no matter what, the bomber's identity can no longer be hidden.

There were nine people present. With his strength, he couldn't kill them all at once. Someone would definitely use a spell card to escape and spread the news, completely destroying years of hard work!

Thinking of this, Gan Shu felt a surge of anger.

Gan Shu pretended to take the questionnaire, but the next moment her speed increased dramatically. She covered her right hand with special Nen energy and took down Lynn first!

At such close range, if someone were to be hit in the neck by his "puff of gunpowder," they would be crippled even if they didn't die!

go to hell!

Gan Shu's sclera revealed a fierce look.

Lynn remained expressionless in the face of Gan Shu's "sudden" attack.

What others saw as a rapid attack, he perceived as no different from a snail's pace.

In an instant, two knives appeared from the left and right, precisely blocking Gan Shu's right arm.

It was Kurapika's right-hand sword judgment and Leorio's ghost cry.

"What do you want to do to Master?!"

Leorio shouted angrily, and Kurapika, though silent, had a fierce look in his eyes.

The two simultaneously unleashed a strong aura of malice, which combined to form a formidable pressure that landed on Gan Shu's shoulder.

Gan Shu was only a B+ level, and it was only because of years of planning and the help of his companions that he achieved the results in the original work. In the end, he was defeated by Xiao Jie in a one-on-one fight.

He was finding it difficult to withstand the malice from his two fellow disciples, both of whom were A-level.

The next moment, Gan Shu's right arm was swiftly severed and flew high into the air.

Before he could react, he was subdued by Leorio and Kurapika, pinned to the ground, and had his throat pressed so he couldn't make a sound.

Gan Shu's face contorted in agony. The loss of his right arm had brought him extreme pain, but what tormented him even more was the disparity in strength.

He was powerless against Leorio and Kurapika, so how strong must Lynn, their master, be?

Seeing Gan Shu lying on the ground in a disheveled state, Nikens and the others finally came to their senses, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

It turns out that Gan Shu really is that infamous bomb-wielding monster!

They had lived with the bomber for years, and the thought of the bomb being planted on them made them very uneasy.

If they hadn't met Lynn today, they probably would have been kept in the dark by Gan Shu until they were blown up one day!

Lynn gave a signal, and Leorio removed the wailing object from his throat, allowing Ganshu to speak.

Blood trickled from the corner of Gan Shu's mouth as she stared intently at Lynn, forcing a bitter smile. "You want my card? I can't give it to you! Unless..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn casually fired a telekinetic bullet that pierced Gan Shu's forehead.

Gan Shu, die!

The speed of the action surprised everyone, including the two apprentices. Shouldn't they have tried to get the card again?

With Gan Shu gone, all the cards in his book are gone.

Lynn shrugged: "He hasn't even closed the net yet, so he doesn't care about those game cards."

It turned out to be the case.

Everyone looked on with a look of sudden realization.

That's true. Gan Shu is still in a period of dormancy, and Nikens and the others know exactly how many cards he has. In fact, he doesn't have that many.

Furthermore, he had no intention of collecting all the levels, which made the game even less appealing to him; it was better to just kill him than waste time talking nonsense.

In comparison, he valued the cards that his Nen ability could generate more.

Surprisingly, Gan Shu was quite efficient, managing to max out two cards at once.

【Name: Killer Queen】

[Grade: B+]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: JoJo]

[Introduction: Kira Yoshikage's Stand, a close-range power type with two abilities. First, the First Bomb, which can transform any object it touches into a bomb. Second, the Second Bomb, "Withering Heart Attack," manifests as a tank-shaped, automatically homing bomb generated by his left hand, capable of locking onto heat sources and possessing extremely high defensive capabilities.]

Gan Shu revealed Kira Yoshikage's Stand from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Killer Queen.

The ability settings of JoJo and Hunter x Hunter are somewhat similar, both featuring various abilities. However, JoJo materializes "Nen" abilities into "Stands," which are similar to Nen beasts.

Yoshikage Kira is a well-known character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and his Stand, Killer Queen, is a close-range power type.

The main body is light pink, with a natural humanoid appearance. The head is shaped like cat ears and equipped with boxer gloves. The name and shape design are inspired by Queen songs.

It must be admitted that Killer Queen's Nen ability is very similar to Gan Shu's.

The Killer Queen can use her fists and feet to attack, and she has two abilities called "First Bomb" and "Second Bomb". The First Bomb is similar to a pinch of gunpowder, but there are some differences.

The first bomb can transform objects into "bombs," and there are two specific methods for its use.

First, after someone touches the "bomb," the "bomb" remains unchanged, but the person who touches it is injured by the explosion.

Second, the "bomb" itself can explode either partially or completely.

Neither of the above two methods of explosion will produce sound, only black smoke.

The second bomb, simply put, is a homing bomb with defensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, this "Killer Queen" is only B+ rank and does not possess the third ability that Yoshikage Kira gained after being shot by an arrow: Bites the Dust.

"The Loser Eats the Dust" involves the time domain. It can make A the target, and when B obtains information about A from A, it will trigger an explosion and rewind time by one hour.

Only A retains the memory. If nothing unexpected happens, B will be blown up an hour later, and time will not be able to rewind, resulting in permanent death.

Overall, "Bite the Dust" is a very useful ability, but because it involves the time dimension, Lynn is unsure at what level the Killer Queen will awaken this ability.

So he left the Killer Queen aside for now, without intending to use her as a sacrifice.

This is his first stand-in, so it's a good keepsake. He can say he's a stand-in user from now on.

The second card is relatively mediocre; it's a B-rank Deidara Clay Bomb, a one-time use item that's not very useful to him.

So he directly used it as a sacrifice and exchanged it for 300 points.

With the points I had accumulated before, I have finally accumulated enough points.

Thanks to his trip to the Demon Realm, he earned a lot of cards. Even though he kept some for use, traded a small portion with gold, and used the rest for sacrifices, he still managed to accumulate a considerable number of points.

He plans to upgrade the B+ grade [Copy Potion] to A+ grade.

The Copy Potion is a card that was previously dropped from Kubi. It can be used to copy item cards of the same or lower level.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, copying cards into repeatable cards naturally yields the greatest benefit.

In this respect, he has a total of five cards: Botanical Garden (A+), Gate of Babylon (A+), Onmyoji Arena (A+), Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck (A), and Gourmet Tree (A).

The botanical garden only extracts seeds, which is not competitive, and there is no urgent need for other aspects, so it was eliminated.

Yu-Gi-Oh! decks and Gourmet Tree are low-level and only have one ability, so they were eliminated.

Ultimately, he had to choose between the Gate of Babylon and the Onmyoji Bureau, and he chose the more valuable Gate of Babylon.

Of the three abilities of the Onmyoji Guild, besides drawing cards, only sacrificing cards and increasing the strength of shikigami remain, so they are not very competitive.

In contrast, Gate of Babylon not only draws cards from B- to A+ tiers, but also has the [Collector] ability, which can increase the probability of drawing high-tier cards.

It can be said that it completely outperforms other cards.

If you use the [Collector] effect on the same target at the same time in the future, the probability of getting a card will likely be much higher.

Lin En led Men Qi and the other two away.

Having dealt with Gan Shu, he saw no need to linger any longer.

He never intended to join the Breakthrough Group; he simply wanted to deal with Gan Shu, obtain cards, and incidentally rid the people of a scourge.

Watching Lynn and his group leave, Nickens and the others were all shocked. Although it was surprising that Gan Shu was the bomber, the strength that Lynn and his group had shown was even more terrifying.

You must tell the others that they must not get into a conflict with Lynn and his group of four.

After leaving, Lynn found a secluded spot, upgraded the [Copy Potion] to A+ rank, and successfully copied a second [Gate of Babylon].

Although it consumed a lot of points, it was a very worthwhile deal overall.

After all, even the minimum guarantee for the Gate of Kings is a B- card.

In high spirits, Lynn continued to take Menchi and the other two sightseeing. Meanwhile, in a distant country, a conspiracy concerning him was brewing.

Chapter 207 The Four-Dimensional Treasure Bag! Lynn will die by my hand!

Yingren country.

The night was boundless, with only a faint moonlight shining down.

Three people suddenly appeared in front of the quiet, deserted manor gate.

All three were dressed in robes with special patterns and had unusual physiques; the person on the left was short, while the person on the right was tall.
