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

Chapter 227 A+ Rank Super Fusion! The Pill for Extending Life!

A month later.

Nighttime in Rimei Road.

Today marks the official opening of Greed Island, and the entire city of Rimeilu is immersed in rare joy.

Inside the castle.

Gon, Killua, Biskey, Menchi, and Lynn gathered here.

The first three were there as those who had cleared the level, while Lynn and his companion were there at their invitation.

Are you sure you want me to choose the last card?

Lynn looked at Bisge in front of him and confirmed it again.

Bisge waved her hand: "Of course, I don't go back on my word, well, that's how it is normally."

"If I had to say, it's to repay a debt of gratitude."

"If you hadn't helped me before, I might not be standing here."

As a senior who has lived half her life, Bisji naturally understands the principle of gratitude.

That night in the capital of Yingren Kingdom, they were attacked by the Satan Clan. It's no exaggeration to say that if Lynn hadn't been there, even she might not have survived.

In other words, Mienji could be considered her savior.

So Bisge gave her card to Lynn.

Players who clear Greed Island can choose three cards to bring to "reality" for use.

However, this is limited to the 100 designated cards only; spell cards such as "Companion" are not included.

To achieve their goal, the two children chose to use a disguised "companion" and a "paladin's necklace" that could restore the "companion" to normal.

Bisge is their master, so it was already agreed that the remaining card would be given to Bisge.

Bisge initially set her sights on the SS-class "Blue Planet," a gem known as a unique gem composed of rare elements found only in the universe.

Her beauty is comparable to that of the world's seven most beautiful women.

SS-rank is the highest rank among Greed Island cards, on the same level as cards such as [One Ping of Coastline] and [Breath of the Archangel].

This shows that its value is exceptionally high.

But halfway through, Bisji accepted Gal's invitation to go to Yingren Kingdom, and afterwards felt that she needed to repay this favor.

She thought that if she could pass the test smoothly, she would give her spot to Lynn.

Inviting Lynn and the other person here tonight is to explain this matter.

Although Lynn was a little surprised, he could understand Bisge's good intentions, so he didn't stand on ceremony.

That said, with so many high-value cards on display, he really had to carefully choose which one to pick.

First of all, low-level cards should be disregarded; at the very least, they must be S-rank.

Cards like "Archangel's Breath" aren't bad, but they have alternatives like vanilla and Doctor's Suitcase, so their priority is relatively low.

The same applies to the [Recycling Room]. It has a [Repair Light], which, while not as useful, is still a viable alternative.

This is a one-time opportunity; he must choose the most useful card.

After careful consideration, he made his choice.

"Let's choose this one."

Lynn drew a card from the card album, attracting everyone's attention.

"I see, this card is indeed very powerful." Xiao Jie nodded in affirmation subconsciously.

Bisge crossed her arms and nodded approvingly: "Even I hesitated between this card and the Blue Planet."

This card is the S-rank [Witch's Rejuvenation Elixir]!

There is only one way to obtain this card, and he has experienced it firsthand before.

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, which is equivalent to extending your lifespan without side effects.

One bottle contains one hundred pills, equivalent to a lifespan of one hundred years!

Longevity is a very attractive term.

Looking at the world as a whole, birth, aging, illness, and death are issues that people cannot avoid.

In most worldviews, even the strongest humans will grow old one day, not only having to watch their strength decline but also feeling the fear of death gradually approaching.

Curing illness is relatively easy, but extending lifespan is much rarer. In many worlds, extending lifespan is an extremely difficult thing to achieve, and many people are willing to give anything to live a little longer.

After all, once you die, all the riches and honors you have become are just fleeting memories.

Although he possesses "gourmet cells" and relies on his Nen ability, he is confident that he can continue to grow and has various methods to prolong his life.

For example, evolving gourmet cells, obtaining life-extending cards, or acquiring things like Nitromote that can extend lifespan—[hope]

But they might also want to give themselves an extra layer of insurance on top of that.

In case something unexpected happens to him, such as being seriously injured, experiencing a decline in strength, or encountering an enemy that can shorten his lifespan—

At times like these, the witch's potion of rejuvenation is not just about extending lifespan, but symbolizes a second life, giving him a chance to start over.

In addition, even if he doesn't need it himself, he can give it to someone around him to use, or trade it in the transaction card.

Too many people can't resist the allure of longevity.

For example, Orochimaru, who had previously made a deal with him, explicitly stated in the deal that he wanted something related to prolonging life.

The anti-aging pill comes in a hundred pills, one pill for one year, which is also suitable for trading and can be used multiple times.

Xiao Jie and the other two also thought Lynn's choice was very good.

In fact, this is the choice that most people would make.

Even for Nen users, the cards from Greed Island are extremely attractive, with the most powerful ones comparable to […].

hope】

Let alone three cards, even if they had the chance to choose any one card, they would try their best to choose the card that would ensure a carefree life for the rest of their days.

But in order to continue the "show" of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", Xiao Jie insisted on using two of the cards to "find" gold.

If it were someone else, they would definitely criticize it as a waste.

The fact that they still haven't found the gold despite doing all this makes the result even harder to accept.

Of course, none of this mattered to him; for him, the witch's anti-aging potion was an unexpected delight.

Although Bisge came to repay a debt of gratitude, Lynn also gave her a gift in return.

That is the Crystal Feather Bone, one of the seven most beautiful forms in the world.

Those are feather bones from a bird called the "Ink-eating Poison." Although this bird is not extinct, its numbers are extremely small, with only about two hundred remaining worldwide.

The color of this bird's feathers resembles black crystal, but it is the highest quality black crystal in the world, unmatched by any other species. This is why it is considered one of the "Seven Great Beauties of the World."

The only thing to be careful about is that these feathers are poisonous, so you can't touch them directly with your bare hands; you have to wear gloves.

He had two of these crystal feather bones; they were one of the gifts brought by the Yingren royal family after the attack on Yingren Kingdom.

Since Bisge gave up the Blue Planet, he gave her the Crystal Feather Bone, accepting her sentiments in return.

In this way, everyone will be happy!

After the lively celebration, Lynn and Menchi left Greed Island.

Now that everything is done, there's no need to stay on Greed Island any longer.

The cooldown period for Gate of Babylon has ended, and he plans to set off for the Zoldyck family to resolve any future troubles.

As before, the villa contained only other character cards besides him.

Capone and his men lived in another place. Both of his apprentices helped out at Capone's place. They didn't have much work to do, so they did what interested them.

For example, Leorio continues to study medicine and also researches vanilla with Chopper.

He was thrilled after learning that such a miraculous cure existed in the world.

If herbs could be grown in large quantities, then people would no longer have to suffer from disease.

This aligns with his ideal of providing medical care to everyone, essentially meaning that no one should suffer from illness anymore.

This is a very difficult, yet magnificent dream worthy of celebration.

Similarly, this is also what Chopper is pursuing.

Its dream is to create a so-called "panacea" that can cure all kinds of diseases, which is essentially the same as Leorio's dream, and it is also the common dream of all doctors.

Even Tsunade would occasionally go to the lab to offer assistance, after all, she was also a skilled doctor.

Their intentions were good, but Lynn also comforted them, saying that while success is certainly gratifying, there was no need to be discouraged if they didn't succeed.

Because under normal circumstances, herbs are too difficult to grow.

After all, it is a special plant from the Dark Continent.

It cannot be successfully cultivated using ordinary methods.

He had previously tried planting in the A+ grade [Plant Garden], but after some time there was no reaction.

It is clear that a more advanced garden is needed to grow herbs.

Returning to reality, even with the most advanced technology across the six continents, it's impossible to achieve the "hope" of mass-producing herbs; at best, they can only preserve the original herbs.

Therefore, he didn't have high hopes for Chopper's research, but it was still a good research opportunity that would help them accumulate experience, so he let them do it.

We may not be able to develop a method for mass cultivation of herbs, but perhaps we will find other research results.

Leorio is busy with medical skills, while Kurapika is returning to his mission.

While helping Capone, he also used the power of Capone's gang to find the eyes of his clansmen who had been living elsewhere.

We've already recovered several pairs of Scarlet Eyes.

Each pair of fiery red eyes held profound significance for Kurapika, as if each member of his tribe had returned to his side.

The spider is dead, and now Kurapika has only two beliefs left.

First, to repay the kindness of my master.

Second, collect the eyes of the clansmen.

During this period, even though they had their own missions to attend to, the two brothers still did not abandon their daily training.

After all, strength is the foundation of everything; only with strength can one have the capital to pursue dreams.

Having already eaten with Xiao Jie and the others in Rimei City, Lynn headed straight for the bathhouse.

The spacious bathhouse interior.

The air was thick with mist.

Lynn leaned against the edge of the bathtub, enjoying the pleasure of soaking in the hot spring.

Besides him, there was a whole bunch of beautiful women in the bath.

On the surface of the water, Gatomon silently surfaced, its cat-like eyes scanning everyone, paying particular attention to the most astonishingly large group of people: Tsunade and Yoruichi.

Gatomon pouted. What's so great about that? It can definitely do it too!

Um.

Although it has nothing now, it believes that once it evolves, it will definitely be able to outdo them all!

Gatomon secretly encouraged himself, determined to surpass Tsunade and the others.

After Lynn took a bath, it was midnight of the next day, another day for drawing cards.

Because he has acquired quite a few card-drawing items, there's basically no fixed day for it; today it's the turn of the [Yu-Gi-Oh! deck].

As usual, I'll draw one [fortune-telling tissue].

Great luck!

The Collector's effect of the Gate of Babylon was to be saved for use on Maha in a few days, so he didn't use it, including the Zashiki-warashi's active skill that increases luck.

"It's really hard to improve your luck," Lynn said casually.

Then, take out your deck and make that crucial first draw.

A bright light flashed!

What appeared before him was a swirling pattern full of light.

He had seen a similar pattern before; it was the B-card [Fusion]!

The card that appeared this time is even above [Fusion]!

【Name: Hyperfusion】

Grade: A+

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: Yu-Gi-Oh!]

[Introduction: Top-tier fusion power, with three effects. Effect 1: Synthesis, three A+ grade cards can be combined to create an S-grade card.]

First, there are three equally likely outcomes for each card: combining to create an A+ grade card, an S- grade card, or disappearing. Second, Fusion: This allows you to fuse two identical items, with a chance to create an enhanced version. Third, Combination: This allows you to attach an A+ grade or lower humanoid character card to yourself. The duration of the attachment depends on the difference in strength between the two entities and cannot be stacked.

A+ grade hyperfusion!

The effects differ from those in the original work; here they are divided into three types.

Effect 1 allows you to combine A+ cards into S- cards, providing another way to obtain S cards.

The second effect is to fuse two identical items, with a chance of creating an enhanced version; however, we'll have to try it out to see how it works.

Lynn values ​​effect three more: combination!

A+ and below — Lynn first chooses Zoro as his target.

The next moment, he felt his strength increase, and his swordsmanship improved significantly, with a more thorough understanding.

So that's how it is; this is the effect of combining.

It's less of a fusion and more of a possession, similar to the possession ability of the Snow Woman. There's no change in appearance; it's just that the character card's strength and abilities are added to one's own foundation.

He can now easily use the techniques that Zoro has mastered.

Similarly, if the target of the fusion is changed to a humanoid character card such as Tsunade or Yoruichi, you can still use ninjutsu, devil's way, or other techniques.

The duration depends on the difference in strength between the two sides; the greater the difference, the longer the duration. He tried it and was able to fuse with Zoro for about fifteen minutes, which was enough for the battle.

Overall, this is a very good ability, especially the third effect. The strength brought by the combination is secondary; he values ​​the ability to use character cards more.

This means that his skill pool has expanded further.

Aside from Gengar and Yoto Hime, who are already S-rank, he can choose to combine with humanoid character cards such as Tsunade and Yoruichi to use different abilities.

This is a great help in the battle.

Looks like he's having good luck today; he pulled out a big one while half-naked.

Lynn was in a good mood and hoped that he would have the same good luck when he played Mahjong a few days later.
