Chapter 37 Hisoka's Gaze

Saba city.

"The entrance to the Hunter Exam is actually a shabby barbecue restaurant. If you don't know, you might think the Hunter Association is some kind of pyramid scheme."

Standing in front of a magnificent building, Link threw the remaining skewers of Saba City's specialty grilled panda frog into the trash can nearby, and then walked into a shabby barbecue restaurant nearby.

"welcome."

Link walked into the store. There was no customer inside, only a chef.

Although the other party looks like just an ordinary chef, he is actually a staff member arranged by the Hunter Association.

Whenever someone successfully matched the secret code, he would arrange for the person to take the elevator to the underground tunnel where the actual assessment location was.

"My dear guest, what would you like to eat?"

"A steak set meal of rib-eye or something... Never mind, this should be enough to prove my identity."

Link scratched his head.

The next moment, a white mist appeared on his hand.

When the chef saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It is indeed possible. Please come in."

"Thank you, Mr. Chef."

After getting permission, Link walked into the private room elevator.

Looking at Link who had just entered the room, the chef raised his lips slightly and muttered to himself, "It seems that this Hunter Exam is finally a little interesting."

……

"Ding dong."

As the elevator bell rang, countless candidates turned their heads to look over.

The candidates who take part in the Hunter Exam are diverse, and there are many tough characters in each session, so they need to judge whether the opponent is easy to deal with, so as to determine their subsequent course of action.

The elevator door opened and Link walked out slowly.

"Looks like an ordinary person?"

"He does look quite handsome, but this is the Hunter Exam and being handsome is useless."

……

When they saw Link for the first time, most of the candidates were secretly delighted.

In their eyes, Link is just an ordinary person who looks a little handsome.

Only a few people noticed that there was no life energy flowing out of Link's body. The other party was undoubtedly a Psychic user!
Among them are the diligent fruit farmers and the paralyzed nail-headed man.

"Sir, this is your number plate."

A staff member with a head made of peas came over and handed the number plate to Link.

The other party was none other than Doumianren, the direct secretary of Netero, the president of the Hunter Association.

Link glanced at his number, 406, which was exactly one number after the three main characters in the original novel.

"Thank you, Mr. Bean."

After Link pinned the number plate to his chest, he began to look around.

Then his eyes fell on three people.

One of them was wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, and looked like a salesman.

One is younger, has an innocent face, and looks like a good kid.

A girl with bright blonde hair and a soft face, wearing special ethnic costumes.

The three of them are none other than the original protagonist trio: Leorio, Gon, and Kurapika.

At this moment they were communicating with a short and fat uncle.

"Mr. Dongba, this should be expired, right?"

Xiao Jie sniffed the drink in his hand, and a strange smell that ordinary people could hardly smell entered his nose.

Leorio looked at the drink in his hand and asked, "Ah? Is this true? Is my bottle okay?"

As for Kurapika, he had no intention of drinking at all.

"Hahaha, is that possible?" Dongba scratched his head embarrassedly, thinking that he had made a mistake this time.

Then he looked at Link who had just entered, and was about to talk to him.

But the next moment, a bad premonition came to his mind and made him stop.

Dongba is no rookie who has survived 35 hunter exams. His ability to sense danger is in no way inferior to that of professional hunters.

"This feeling, it seems that the newcomer is not ordinary."

Dongba wiped the sweat from his head and silently took back the step he was about to take.

He would not take the initiative to provoke someone he couldn't afford to offend.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Suddenly, a shrill bell sounded from behind the huge stone door.

The sound of the bell seemed to be a warning of some kind of mechanism. As the bell rang, the huge stone door slowly rose up.

A man with short purple hair, two curly mustaches and no mouth appeared in front of everyone.

This person was none other than Sats, the examiner of the first exam.

"The ringing of the bell just now means the time is up, and the Hunter Exam is now officially starting.

One point that needs to be emphasized is that the Hunter Exam is extremely dangerous, and those who are unlucky or lack strength may die in the process.

If you are scared, you can take the elevator back the same way.

If everyone has no questions, please follow me." Examiner Sats said slowly.

Although he has no mouth, his voice can be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"The first test is for everyone to follow me to the second test location."

Without waiting for everyone to react, Sats started running.

Seeing that the examiner had already started running, the candidates also took action.

At the beginning, Sats' speed was normal, but it became faster and faster as time went on, until most of the candidates had to go all out to barely catch up with him, and then he stopped increasing his speed.

But this speed has already exceeded the level of professional athletes among ordinary people.

And this is just the beginning.

As time went on, more and more people began to lose their physical strength and dropped out of this long-distance race that tests their endurance and willpower.

Most of the remaining candidates were also in poor condition and were about to reach their physical limits!
The only sound in the dim venue was the chaotic footsteps, as most people did not want to waste their precious energy on talking.

Only a few people can keep their breath steady, including Link.

The first test of the hunter exam was almost effortless for Link.

Therefore, he took the initiative to add some difficulty to himself while running, and used "Jian" to increase his own mental energy consumption, so as to train himself.

Link's actions also attracted some powerful people who had awakened their thoughts.

In the corner, Hisoka was running slowly while looking at Link, his eyes revealing a hint of unknown meaning.

Time continued to pass, and more than six hours passed.

More and more candidates began to give up, and the number of people who were eliminated increased rapidly.

Finally, in the seventh hour, the passage came to an end.

Just when everyone thought it was over, an infinite staircase that made people even more desperate followed.

Compared to running on flat ground, climbing stairs consumes significantly more physical energy.

With the appearance of the stepped sections, the number of eliminated people soared again, and more importantly, the confidence of everyone present suffered a huge blow.

This is undoubtedly a test that ordinary people simply cannot overcome.

Finally, after a large number of unqualified candidates were eliminated, the remaining candidates finally saw the finish line emitting bright light!
"It's the exit!"

When the candidates saw the light, they squeezed out the last bit of their physical strength and ran as fast as they could.

When they climbed the last step, they fell to the ground.

However, they don’t know that this is actually only half of the first exam.

After a long run in the tunnel, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a wetland shrouded in thick fog.

And behind these thick fogs are hidden crises!
