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

"I also have a few newly met companions, and we are preparing to hunt the Mondoru mammoth."

"Would you like to come along?"

Chapter Eighty-Three: Love Etude? Lynn is a Monster!

The Mondoru giant elephant, Lynn remembered that this was one of the B-grade ingredients. An adult giant elephant is about fifteen meters tall, and its greatest value lies in the precious core meat inside its body, which is very close to A-grade ingredients.

He had also seen it in the Gourmet Paradise; a core piece of meat the size of a fist could sell for a billion Jenny, and it was always in short supply. He hadn't had the chance to taste it before, but now he had the opportunity.

However... a team temporarily formed by a few strangers is obviously not trustworthy, and they can turn against you in an instant.

This Jeter seems to have a cheerful and helpful personality, but we'll have to observe him further to see what he's really like.

Lynn pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, let me lend a hand."

“That’s great, one more person means one more layer of safety.” Jett nodded slightly.

Just as Jet was about to say something, he suddenly heard a loud elephant howl coming from not far away in the forest.

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Excuse me, it seems they have already started hunting. Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jet dashed into the depths.

As he turned around, a sense of anxiety welled up inside him.

The original plan was to lure a few more people before starting the hunt, so why did it start ahead of schedule? Something must have gone wrong.

Jet was preoccupied with his plan and had no idea that Gastly had already slipped into his shadow, followed him away, and was observing his every move.

Watching Jett's disappearing figure, Lynn raised an eyebrow and told Chopper to follow.

This might be a chance to snag a bargain.

Soon, Lynn and Chopper arrived at the scene with Jet.

In a wide clearing inside the forest, a giant elephant, about ten meters tall, was rampaging wildly. It had thick, brown skin, and with a single stomp, it could sink a chunk into the ground, sending dust flying.

There were four people gathered around the giant elephant Mondoru. One of them was dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked somewhat like Nob from the original story.

The other person was dressed in formal attire and exuded an elegant air. He remained on the edge of the scene and rarely made a move.

Of the remaining two, one had a black tattoo on his face and was attacking the giant elephant frantically, while the last one was Menchi, whom Lynn had met many times.

Four people attacked a giant elephant, and at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the elephant was defeated.

As soon as Jet and Lynn entered, they attracted everyone's attention.

They knew Jet, but only Mencius knew Lynn.

Another prey has been found... Both the man in the tuxedo and the man with glasses glanced at Lynn, a barely perceptible glint of greed flashing in their eyes.

With Jet and Lynn joining the fray, the Mondoru giant elephant quickly gave out. With a deafening roar, it crashed to the ground, sending dust billowing into the sky and drastically reducing visibility.

At the same time, the man in the tuxedo and the man with glasses seized the opportunity and quickly launched an attack on the tattooed man.

Caught off guard, the weakest tattooed man was instantly killed. Then, the two men erupted with crimson Nen energy, their faces showing an excited expression as if they had taken Nen.

The shrewd Mencius quickly hid to the side, looked at the crowd, and revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

She had already guessed that although the man in the tuxedo and the man with glasses claimed not to know each other, they occasionally exchanged brief glances, which most likely indicated that they had a bad plan.

Previously, she was only certain about these two people; as for whether the tattooed man and Jet had any connection with them, she didn't know.

It now seems the tattooed man isn't with them, but Jet is... Menchi frowned slightly as she watched Jet rushing towards her, and with a sudden flick of her wrists, two kitchen knives materialized from Nen flew away.

A sharp knife slices through the air.

The angles of the two sharp knives were extremely tricky; Jet could only dodge one knife, but couldn't avoid the other.

The next moment, a large amount of blood-red Nen energy burst out from Jet's body, directly smashing the dagger and transforming into a scarlet beast that charged straight at Menchi, exuding a violent aura.

Menchi was puzzled. This shouldn't be the case. Judging from the level of Nen on Jet's body, he shouldn't be able to use so much Nen.

Furthermore, Jett's Nen aura, like that of the man in the tuxedo and the man with glasses, is a strange blood red color. Is this an effect of Nen ability?

But this was not the time to delve into the matter; she had to deal with Jet quickly… and soon Mencius and Jet were locked in combat.

On the other side, Lynn looked at the men in tuxedos and glasses standing in front of him with unfriendly expressions and roughly understood the situation.

The man in the tuxedo, the man with glasses, and Jet are in cahoots. For some unknown reason, they use the giant elephant Mondor as a cover to lure other Nen users, ostensibly to hunt the elephant together.

But in reality, Nen users are their true targets.

The tattooed man has been killed; next it will be his and Menchi's turn.

Seeing the two men's crimson Nen aura, just like Jet's, and recalling the strange expression they had after killing the tattooed man, Lynn thought of a character from the original story.

Melena of the Kakin Empire.

Her Nen ability is called "Love Practice Song," which can infect up to 23 people, including herself. Like game players, the infected can level up by killing people. Killing an ordinary person increases their level by one, killing a Nen user increases their level by ten... It is a very intuitive, quick, and convenient way to become stronger, like having an extra experience point system for the infected.

The three men in formal attire may not necessarily be Morlena's subordinates, but their situation is very similar to that of Morlena's subordinates, and they all seem to have the ability to become stronger by killing Nen users.

"Looks pretty good. Hopefully, he'll be more useful than this guy." The bespectacled man muttered to himself, eyeing Lynn like he was looking at prey, before kicking the tattooed man's corpse aside.

He took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and then a new pair of glasses appeared in his hand. He put them on and began to observe Lynn again.

This is his Nen ability, the "Glasses to See Strength." When worn, it allows him to observe the level of threat posed by an opponent and then give them a score, with himself as the passing grade at 60.

The bespectacled man looked at Lynn, and in that instant, he felt as if he were looking at an incredibly dazzling fireball, almost blinding him. Immediately, his score soared from 0 and quickly stopped at 90.

"9...90 points?!" The bespectacled man hurriedly took off his glasses, his expression horrified, and exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Are you kidding me?"

90 points! This shows that Lynn's strength far surpasses theirs! He can crush them with a flick of his wrist... You should know that he has only ever seen one person with a threat score of over 90 points, and that person was the master who used the "Greed" Nen ability on them.

"What?! 90 points? Are you sure you didn't misread it?" The man in the tuxedo was equally shocked, as he also understood what 90 points meant.

After their master granted them their abilities, the three of them often teamed up to hunt down Nen users. The bespectacled man's Nen ability allowed him to assess the threat level of others before deciding whether to take action.

Damn Jet!

Why did he bring a monster with him?!

Chapter Eighty-Four: The Greedy Servant! Befriending Mencius!

"Oh? Is this a score you're giving me?" Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "So now that the score is given, shouldn't we start scoring the others?"

Upon hearing this, the two men trembled, and their pupils shrank sharply.

Lynn vanished from her spot in an instant, reappearing in front of the man in the tuxedo, her gaze icy.

With her right hand outstretched, her five fingers gripped the man in the tuxedo like iron clamps, and she slammed it hard against the ground.

boom!

The ground suddenly exploded, shaking violently, and thick smoke and dust spread in all directions, forming a considerable crater.

The man in the tuxedo lay inside, his face so distorted it was unrecognizable.

One person killed instantly!

As his strength continued to improve, he was able to completely overwhelm many Nen users, taking them down one by one.

With his current strength, even a B-rank would be instantly killed, while a B-rank could hold his own for a few rounds.

It's unclear when it happened, but he had already become a mid-to-upper-level Nen user, with his physical strength being comparable to that of the Phantom Troupe's combatants.

Most Nen users are like speed bumps in front of him.

"999...90 points!" The bespectacled man next to him was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, just shouting "90 points" over and over again.

His Nen ability has never failed him. Sure enough, this person truly possesses 90 points of strength, which is why he could so easily defeat the man in the tuxedo who is of equal strength to him.

Now he's going to die too!

Lynn flicked his hand, glanced sideways at the terrified bespectacled man, then walked step by step to the latter and said coldly, "Why do you hunt Nen users?"

The bespectacled man, terrified, spilled the beans and confessed everything.

It turns out that all three of them were "servants." The master's Nen ability was called "Greed," which allowed him to lend Nen to others, who would then become his "servants." The servants would then hunt down Nen users to increase their Nen levels.

The increased mental energy is divided in half, with half going to the master and half to oneself. However, the downside is that when using mental energy, one's emotions become irritable and easily angered, and it is more superficial than the mental energy that one has cultivated from scratch.

The bespectacled man didn't know his master's true identity, only that the other party seemed to be in a high position and had more than just a few servants. Over time, the master had accumulated a great deal of spiritual energy.

"What score does your glasses show him?" Lynn continued to ask.

"97..."

Lynn raised an eyebrow. '97?'

If B+ is 90 points, then 97 is probably A- or A grade, which shows that the mastermind behind this is no pushover either.

While pondering, Lynn raised her hand and fired a telekinetic bullet, sending the bespectacled man away.

The two of them didn't contribute a single card; they're truly useless.

Meanwhile, Jet, who was fighting Menchi, also noticed the unusual situation.

When he saw Lynn instantly defeat the man in the tuxedo, a very "wonderful" expression appeared on his face.

real or fake? !

They defeated them in seconds?

What kind of monster did he bring?

The three of them were all about the same strength, so being able to kill the man in the tuxedo meant they could also kill him instantly. Thinking of this, Jet felt uneasy and wanted to escape.

Jet's already chaotic Nen intensified with his fluctuating emotions.

After a few more rounds, a glint flashed in Menchi's eyes. Seizing the opportunity, she swung her left fork across her arm and swiftly slashed Jet's neck with her right hand.

In an instant, a spurt of blood shot out, and Jet instinctively clutched his neck, his face contorted in pain, before collapsing straight to the ground.

Menqi took a deep breath and quickly regained her composure.

It would be a bit troublesome if three people were to deal with her at the same time, but she could handle Jet alone quite easily.

At that time, only Lynn and Menchi remained on the field, along with Chopper, who served as their mount and had not yet been exposed.

Lynn looked at Menchi and acknowledged her strength, which was around B-level.

Menchi can be considered a genius. At only 21 years old, she became a one-star hunter, breaking the Hunter Association's historical record.

In addition to regular hunters, the Hunter Association also has three tiers: one-star, two-star, and three-star hunters.

One-star hunters must make significant contributions or achieve multiple accomplishments in a particular field to receive this honor.

Two-star hunters are expected to make significant contributions in multiple fields.

The three-star hunters are the most difficult, representing the pinnacle of the hunter class. The entire guild has no more than ten members, and each must have achieved a world-class feat, such as Guild Master Netero, or the Rat Pariston…

Seeing Lynn staring at her, Mencius felt a little scared.

She also witnessed Lynn's utter domination of the man in the tuxedo, and no joke, she felt she wouldn't last long against Lynn either.

If Lynn wanted to kill her, she could only try her best to resist.

I didn't realize Lynn was so strong before.

Why does it feel like Lynn's Nen aura has become more solid since he landed on the island? Is it just my imagination? How could someone improve so quickly?

Menchi was lost in thought when she was startled by Lynn.

"Do you want this elephant?" Lynn casually pointed to the Mondoru elephant.

"No need, here you go." Menqi quickly waved her hand, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have any intention of killing her.

“I happen to be short of a chef. Are you interested?” Lynn asked, patting the massive Mondoruru elephant.

Such excellent ingredients, yet he has no chef by his side, which is a real waste. Moreover, not only in culinary competitions, but also at other times he needs a skilled chef to help him cook delicious food.

Whether for personal consumption or for trade with Toriko, it's something that's needed.

Currently, Menqi seems like a good candidate. She is a professional one-star gourmet hunter and an expert in the field of food across the six continents. It would be much more convenient to recruit her.
