I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Jingyang laughed and said, "There might be no signal."

Yun Gu shook his head. "No, that's not it. If you're outside a service area, there will be a notification sound."

Jingyang seemed to be deep in thought.

In the Hunter world, he doesn't often make phone calls, so he doesn't really know whether dialing from an out-of-service area results in a constant dial tone or a notification.

"Speaking of which, there shouldn't be many places without a signal, right?" Jingyang asked casually.

Ghost Island, those ghostly places where people can be moved out of thin air due to Nen abilities, all have signal coverage.

Jingyang didn't know how the network signal was laid in the Hunter world, but in this world where Nen abilities existed, the way the technology tree was developed must be completely different from his previous life. It was very simple: any Nen user with enhanced brainpower or who could materialize experimental equipment could potentially give rise to unimaginable theoretical breakthroughs or technological products "in an instant".

Yun Gu nodded and said, "Not many." After a pause, he said, "Basically, it shouldn't be called 'no signal,' but rather 'the signal is being artificially interfered with and blocked.'"

"A vast network, centered around international servers, covers the entire ocean and every corner of all six continents. However, some overly xenophobic countries, forces, and organizations operating outside the V5 international order, actively erect firewalls to block public signals. They either build their own networks internally or, more extreme, completely abandon modern communication methods..."

Yun Gu pushed up his glasses.

His words reminded Jingyang of the two countries in the Chimera Ant arc of the manga: the East Godot Republic and the NGL Autonomous Region.

The former is an extremely xenophobic small country, while the latter is a super-hotbed of drug manufacturing that outwardly promotes a natural lifestyle but is actually a huge drug production facility in secret.

Getting back to the point, Kurapika's phone call wasn't answered, not that there was no signal, so it's unlikely he went to places like those.

And Yun Gu, how did you know my call didn't show an out-of-service warning? Were you eavesdropping?

Yun Gu pointed to his ears and laughed, "My hearing is a bit more acute than the average person's, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't possibly cover my ears every time someone makes a phone call around me, can I?"

“That’s true.” Jing Yang nodded.

His hearing has actually improved a lot compared to before. Now, even from 20 meters away, he can hear other people's normal voices clearly.

If you concentrate your energy in your ears, the distance could probably be extended to about 100 meters.

Of course, this kind of hearing can't compare to that of a melody. Let alone 100 meters, even at a distance of 200 meters, and with a torrential downpour blocking the way, a melody can still clearly hear other people's conversations.

Due to the widespread existence of "ki," a fundamental power, there are far too many extraordinary individuals in the Hunter world.

At the beginning of the manga, Gon, who had not yet awakened his Nen, had lived in the forest for many years, turning himself into a human-like beast. He could tell if a storm was coming from 800 miles away just by smelling the sea breeze, and he could detect something was wrong with a colorless and odorless super laxative just by touching it. Not to mention his dog-like nose, which was comparable to that of a police dog...

Even without Nen training, members of the Kurta clan like Kurapika possess a level of sensitivity to their five senses that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Jingyang actually strongly suspects that powerful Nen users will subtly change their genes through training and pass on this change.

Nen users can create things out of thin air, deform their own flesh and blood, create clones, and manipulate space and time...

If someone told Jingyang that a Nen user had started a unique group from their own experience, Jingyang wouldn't be surprised at all.

The Hunter world is home to powerful wild animals, various intelligent magical beast races capable of human speech, and even some extremely rare superhuman beings...

The Kuluta tribe might just be some kind of alien race.

……

After having a meal together, Yun Gu quickly said goodbye and left.

He had heard before that Jingyang's landlord challenge was scheduled for October, so he came specifically to watch it.

Seeing Jingyang successfully become the leader of the building and make great progress in his strength, I admire him and also plan to work harder so as not to lose to this young man.

Jing Yang and Xiao Di went back to the Sky Arena to complete the formalities for taking over the position of Lord.

He didn't linger. Under the regretful gaze of the waitress on the 244th floor, he calmly took Xiaodi into the elevator and left.

The original poster was just an achievement for Jingyang, and after obtaining it, he didn't really have much interest in it anymore.

The reason for going through the process and completing the formalities is that I think there might be interesting challengers in the future, and it would be a pity to miss them—if I remember correctly, Hisoka is also the host, right?

Moreover, he only became the leader of the Heaven's Arena after Gon and Killua left. It's highly suspected that he killed off another leader while preparing for his duel with Chrollo.

In other words, it's possible that Hisoka might challenge him in the future...

Jingyang thought about it for a moment.

Hisoka's cheeks are often painted with clown makeup, and one side appears to be shaped like a five-pointed star.

Comes with a built-in pentagram pattern...

Jingyang couldn't help but laugh when he imagined the hilarious scene that might occur if he were to run into Hisoka.

After strolling around the streets with Xiaodi for a while, I fed the bulging-eyed fish all the shopping bags to them. Once we got home, all I had to do was release them one by one according to the shopping list, before Xiaodi completely forgot about them.

Their lives were very simple; aside from rest and entertainment, they spent the rest of their time practicing spiritual cultivation.

They are all young, and their energy and spirit are growing rapidly. As long as they calm down and cultivate themselves, they will definitely gain something, regardless of how much they will gain.

While Jingyang was practicing "firmness," Xiaodi was practicing her recitation ability beside him.

The chainsaw-like teeth of the bulging-eyed fish are quite effective, and now Little Drop is trying to shift more towards the altered type.

For example, it would be much more convenient to be able to use a "chainsaw" without materializing a bulging-eyed fish.

It can transform psychic energy into a sawtooth shape, and it can rotate and cut at high speed.

Nen users are not immune to their own Nen abilities.

Those who convert air into electricity will be the first to be electrocuted.

The one who turns gas into gunpowder and detonates it is the one closest to the explosion and most vulnerable to being blown up...

Therefore, Xiaodi needs to carefully control these changes in mental energy.

When one is not yet proficient, the Nen that transforms into rapidly spinning sharp teeth can actually cut Koshiki herself.

This is also the danger of Nen training. Even if other Transformation-type Nen users are eager to replicate Shizuku's abilities, they might accidentally create a jagged Nen that cuts off their own head first, or even slices them to pieces...

Fortunately, Xiao Di is protected by Jing Yang's star mark. As long as the mark on her left thigh is not destroyed, she can recover quickly no matter how serious the injury is.

She was also incredibly carefree. After reserving some of her Nen energy to protect the mark on her left thigh, she recklessly experimented with Nen transformations, figuring that even if her hand or head was severed, the star mark would bring her back to life...

After Jingyang finished one round of "firmness" training, he took turns with Xiaodi.

While Xiao Di was taking a shower, Jing Yang took a shower. After his energy recovered a bit, he sat down next to Xiao Di to practice techniques such as Entangling Technique and Condensing Flow...

He majored in the manipulation system, and the best elective was the adjacent emission system, but this system consumed too much Nen energy and was quite noisy.

Jingyang thought to himself that after several days of competition with Nitero at Xianshui Mountain, he now seemed more like a martial artist, or even a power-up user...

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

My phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly vibrated.

Jingyang clenched his fist, extinguishing the pulsating psychic ball in his palm, and looked at his vibrating phone—someone was calling.

Even the little droplet, who had been maintaining her "firmness" for two hours, took a moment to look over.

She currently has about 19,000 units of energy, and has only maintained it for two hours, so she is far from being physically and mentally exhausted.

Jingyang took out his phone and looked at it. "It's Kurapika."

He answered immediately, casually sitting on the floor leaning against the sofa, "Hey? What are you up to?"

After a moment of silence, someone on the other end asked, "Who are you?"

That's not Kurapika's voice!

Jingyang's eyes suddenly sharpened. He sat up straight cross-legged and raised his hand to signal to Xiaodi who was looking over—Xiaodi's hearing was also quite good.

The voice on the other end of the call, which Jingyang mistook for Kurapika's, was that of an unfamiliar man. He couldn't discern any particular vocal characteristics, but it seemed to carry a hint of fatigue.

Jingyang asked, "And who are you?"

The person on the other end sighed wearily and said, "Do you know Kurapika?"

"Do you know Kurapika?" Jingyang asked, emphasizing the word "you".

There was a moment of silence on the other end before he said, "I met Kurapika during a mission. I'm a professional hunter. Listen, I don't know who you are, but if you know Kurapika, if you're his friend, then I think... we need to meet up as soon as possible and have a good talk."

Xiao Di was a little confused. She couldn't help but wonder what Kurapika had edited in Jing Yang's phone contacts. Why did the other person have his phone but not know how to address Jing Yang?

A professional hunter?

Jingyang asked, "Why did you call me back using his phone? And why didn't you call back immediately when I called this afternoon, but waited until now?"

The person on the other end sighed, "I just found his phone too. It seems he hurriedly threw it away before disappearing. After finding the phone, I saw a bunch of missed calls, so I tried calling you. I don't know who you are because Kurapika only has your number in his contacts, not a name. Listen, whether you believe me or not, I have to tell you, Kurapika's situation is bad, very bad..."

"disappear?"

Jingyang frowned.

“Yes, he’s been missing for 10 days. I’ve searched everywhere I can, followed every clue, but to no avail… It’s hard to explain over the phone. I’ll give you the address, let’s meet in person.” The other person sighed. “I should have been the one who got caught, Kurapika saved me at the last minute, but he himself… This is what I owe him.”

"You say you're a professional hunter, what's your name?" Jingyang interrupted him.

"Ousi = Plutonium Rik, you—"

"Come to Sky Arena." Jing Yang didn't wait for the other person to finish speaking, leaving behind the words, "Floor 244, just say you're looking for the host," before hanging up the phone.

……

OP?

Sky Arena?

In another city, the professional hunter who had been hung up on was surprised.

He thought silently for a while, put away Kurapika's phone with its slightly cracked screen, opened the laptop on the table, and started looking up flight tickets.

……

10 days?

After hanging up the phone, Jingyang couldn't help but wonder what brand of phone Kurapika bought that could last for 10 days with still power?

"Do you want to go out?" Little Drops remained 'firm' as she looked at him.

The second rule of the Akatsuki organization: Comrades should help each other, not interfere with each other, and not betray each other.

Now that Jingyang has asked for the other person's name, he will definitely go to the Hunter website to look up this person named Ousi = Plutonium Reck.

“You should finish your training first. You’ve persevered for so long, it would be such a waste to give up halfway,” Jing Yang comforted him. “If he really is a professional hunter, you can find out on the official website. He doesn’t need to get a hunter’s license.”

Little Drop nodded.

Jingyang went to his bedroom to get his laptop and typed in the Hunter website—the Muggle version for ordinary people.

After banging on the door for a while, Jingyang found a photo of a hunter named "Aussie = Plutonium Reck".
