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

After finishing their squid, Lynn and the others continued their stroll.

Led by the tour guide, people realized that the giant squid they had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg, and there were many more novel things they had never seen before.

After strolling around the market for a while, the tour guide led everyone to another iconic local landmark – the Food Tower.

The food tower has 51 floors and is jet black in color. It is usually used as a dining area.

However, special carnival events are held every February and August, where participants compete using a points system, and the person with the highest points at the end of the month wins a grand prize.

In fact, the food tower was modeled after the Sky Arena.

The Sky Arena is a renowned holy land for fighters across the six continents, with 251 floors, attracting tens of thousands of spectators to watch matches live every day.

Players need to fight their way up the levels, earning monetary rewards along the way. If they can climb from the first level to the two hundredth level, they can receive a reward of two hundred million Jenny.

However, the food tower focuses on food, and the competition is held only for two months each year, using a points system.

The lobby on the first floor was packed with people, some queuing at the front desk to participate in the competition, and others were tourists who came to visit.

On the wall to the left, the rules for the food tower competition for that month are explained in detail.

The food tower has 51 floors, but the top floor is the office of the organizers and others, so only the 50th floor is actually open to the public.

每十层为一个阶段，1～10层赢一场获得1积分，11～20层赢一场获得5积分，21～30层赢一场获得10积分，31～40层赢一场获得20积分，41～50层赢一场获得50积分。

Although each stage has ten levels, it is only divided into five tiers. For example, the battles on level 1 and level 10 are the same, and the battles only change every ten levels.

After accumulating a certain number of points, you can advance to the next stage. If you lose along the way, your points will be deducted double. If your points reach zero, you will be disqualified from the challenge.

The person with the highest score on the last day of the month will be the champion of this carnival and can choose three of the following prizes.

Lynn looked at the prizes section, which listed more than a dozen items, covering different types of goods, such as 500 million jenny, precious ingredients, lost documents from a certain kingdom, and... an invitation to the Gourmet Paradise?

Ok?

Lynn looked closely and realized he wasn't mistaken.

Gourmet Paradise is said to have been created by Linne-Odebru and other like-minded gourmet hunters, and it is basically only open to Nen users.

The location is very secluded; without a guide, it's practically impossible to get there.

Lin Nie is an extraordinary figure. He is the oldest hunter in the Hunter Association and once teamed up with Chairman Netero to travel to the Dark Continent.

Accompanying them was Jugger, from the Zoldyck family, who was Killua's great-grandfather and Zeno's father.

However, the island where the Gourmet Paradise is located is not on the map, so few people can go there.

High-end private venues usually require an invitation from the owners or a guide from an acquaintance; otherwise, even if you accidentally wander in, you will be asked to leave.

It is a mecca for countless food lovers.

It is filled with elites from various fields, a few V5 high-level executives, nobles, and extremely outstanding chefs. It also gathers the top ingredients and delicacies from the entire six continents!

Gourmet Paradise is definitely a unique location. If you can go there, there is a very good chance that you will find the cards he needs, such as [Gourmet Cell].

In fact, when he realized the importance of food, the first thing that came to his mind was Gourmet Paradise.

Unfortunately, he lacked access to such channels, so he opted for a less desirable option: to visit some conventional cities known for their food.

Unexpectedly, I found a way to get to the Gourmet Paradise here. Perhaps this is an invitation that the Gourmet Paradise has proactively sent out for newlyweds to visit.

The food tower carnival event... Today is February 13th, and there are still two weeks left until the end of the month. Winning the championship shouldn't be difficult for him; he can give it a shot.

After making up his mind, Lynn joined the queue to sign up.

The registration process was very simple: fill in personal information, show your identity document, pay a registration fee of 10,000 jin of ni, and then he received his number plate, number 123.

A short while later, he arrived at the designated arena as instructed by the broadcast.

Because of Hyakume's special status, he was the only one participating in the competition.

Chopper and Doumeki were there as spectators, cheering them on.

In the ring, his opponent was a bald, dark-skinned man with a gleaming tan and explosive muscles.

"Hmph, you recognize me now? That's right, I am Saitama, known as Alloy Darkshine." Saitama struck a pose flexing his muscles, his tone arrogant. "Becoming my stepping stone is your honor!"

Normally, one can roughly tell a martial artist's skill level just by looking at them: a burly, strong man or a lean, elderly man... these are all people to be taken seriously.

However, Saitama didn't find any qualities related to strength in Lynn; he seemed more like a mediocre pretty boy.

He dared to guarantee with his twenty years of martial arts experience that he could KO this guy who only had good looks within three moves.

Alloy Black Optical, Saitama?

Upon hearing the familiar name, Lynn paused for a moment.

I thought it was a fusion of Superalloy Darkshine and Saitama from One-Punch Man, but upon closer inspection, they only look slightly similar; otherwise, they're nothing alike.

That's quite a boast.

With the referee's command, the battle officially began.

Saitama stomped his foot and swooped down, quickly closing the distance. A smug smile played on his face, and he was confident of victory.

"Take this, kid!"

"A serious punch!"

……

boom!

"Number 123 wins!" The referee quickly raised the flag, announced the result of the match, and then continued, "Number 123, you advance directly to the 30th floor."

Ignoring Saitama, who was using the wall as a Simmons mattress, Lynn walked straight off the stage and followed the signs to the thirtieth floor.

Since the Food Tower was built exactly like the Sky Arena, even the rules of the carnival events are identical.

Those who perform exceptionally well can skip levels, up to the thirtieth level. After that, they will need to accumulate points to climb higher.

This not only saves time for the strong, but also prevents the weak from being exploited.

Unlike the Sky Arena, which directly rewards players with money for advancing in the Food Tower, the Food Tower rewards players with special delicacies instead.

As a reward for his successful victory in the first game, which officially earned him 1 point, the waiter brought him a serving of sashimi.

The ingredients are fresh fish from the Jeram Sea, and the taste is only similar to ordinary food, after all, this is only the reward for the first game.

In addition, as a contestant on the 30th floor, he has a special privilege: he can dine in the Gourmet Tower's luxurious restaurant, which offers a wide variety of cuisines and is a major feature of the Gourmet Tower.
