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

Chapter 72 Gourmet Paradise! Manager: Menqi!

Lynn was certain that she was Biskey.

She wore the same princess dress, the same golden ponytail, burgundy eyes, and cute little face as in the original work.

The cuter she looks, the more it reminds Lynn of Bisge's true appearance—a tall, muscular woman with explosive muscles… She wants to fight her, but she wonders what kind of card she'll get if she defeats Bisge.

However, given his current strength, there's no need for him to think about this.

Lynn cleared his mind of all distractions, guessing that they had just bumped into each other; Bissie was also heading to the Gourmet Paradise, just like him.

What he didn't know was that Bisge had already seen him.

After Lynn looked away, Bisge also glanced at Lynn out of the corner of her eye and recognized the champion of the food tower... She remembered that his name was Lynn? His skills were not bad.

In fact, she wasn't surprised, because the grand prize of the Food Tower included an invitation to the Food Paradise, so it was perfectly normal for Lynn to be there.

Since the people didn't know each other, there was no movement. Some were looking down at their phones, while others had their arms crossed and closed their eyes to rest. More and more people arrived during the process... By nearly 3 p.m., more than 30 people had gathered.

On the shimmering sea in the distance, an unassuming ship sails toward the harbor, carrying a salty sea breeze.

The ship docked at the shore, and a woman wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, with a hairstyle resembling a sea urchin, stepped off and introduced herself confidently:

"I am Menchi, a gourmet hunter, and the person in charge of leading everyone to the Gourmet Paradise. Please line up in order, and I will check your boarding qualifications one by one."

Among the crowd, Lynn looked at Menchi and thought to himself that it was another "familiar face". She was Menchi, the examiner in the Hunter Exam in the original work, a person who was excessively fanatical and obsessive about food.

People took turns showing their credentials to board the ship. The criteria for proof were roughly three: whether they had visited the food paradise, whether they had applied online and been approved, and whether they had an invitation letter.

You can only board the ship to the Gourmet Paradise if you meet any of the above conditions... Of course, not everyone follows the rules. Some people only find out the time and place through other means, but do not meet the qualifications and want to take advantage of the situation.

After searching in vain, Menchi said expressionlessly to the scarred man in front of her, "You are not qualified to go to Paradise."

"Huh? Why can't I go over there!" The scarred man took off his sunglasses and said fiercely, "See? I'm a Nen user. Where can't I go?"

"It's just a place to eat, why make it so complicated?" The scarred man spat as he spoke, raising his hand to strike Menqi, his spiritual energy weak and unstable.

He was probably a wild Nen user, at most a C-rank, and might not even know how to use [Condensation], Lynn, who had witnessed this scene from behind, made his assessment.

Menqi's face was as cold as ice. Upon hearing that the scarred man had disrespected the Gourmet Paradise, she quickly reached out with her right hand and grabbed the latter's arm.

The force was so great that the scarred man felt as if his arm was being clamped tightly by an extremely powerful iron clamp. The intense pain spread from his hand to his whole body, and his face turned pale instantly... This was the first time he had experienced such pain since becoming a Nen user.

Are you kidding me? Is this woman a human hydraulic press?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when the scarred man heard a crack as his arm broke. He was then struck hard in the abdomen and sent flying like a kite with a broken string, collapsing unconscious on the cold ground.

Menchi seemed much relieved, her complexion returned to normal, and she continued to examine the next person.

She could tell at a glance that the scarred man was a useless amateur.

The Gourmet Paradise isn't open to just anyone; only a select few are allowed to enter: those with exceptional culinary talent, high-ranking officials of the nation, and powerful Nen users...

The reason why hunters are qualified is because they have passed the Hunter Association's test and proved their worth.

At the same time, the Hunter Association will also send professional Nen users to guide new hunters. Normally, the minimum skill level of hunters is not low.

It's not that wild Nen users are necessarily bad; the existence of invitations is precisely to provide opportunities for these people.

Regardless of the means by which you obtain it, having an invitation letter demonstrates your ability, status, potential, strength... you must possess at least one of these qualities.

When it was Lynn's turn, he took out the invitation. Mencius glanced at it briefly, then focused on smelling the envelope before nodding slightly to signal Lynn to board.

It is clear that the truth is roughly what he expected; the letter itself is not important, but the special fragrance is the key.

The scarred man was just a minor incident; he was also the only one among the thirty-odd people who was not qualified. After everyone boarded the ship, it once again left the port and headed southwest.

Lynn noted down the direction, but at the same time, doubts arose in his mind.

Jeram City is located in the southwest corner of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, on the edge of the six continents. There is no land to the southwest... at least not on the map.

Either the ship will change course at sea, or the food paradise is a remote island not marked on the map.

The ship was quite spacious, and everyone had a private room to stay in. According to Mencius, the voyage would take a week to reach the Gourmet Paradise.

Finally, after about a week of sailing, the ship passed through a remote sea area full of whirlpools, and several islands appeared before everyone's eyes at the horizon.

On the deck, Mencius pointed to the distant island and introduced it: "Ladies and gentlemen, that is our destination, a holy land in the hearts of every food lover—the Gourmet Paradise."

Then Menqi began to describe the terrain.

The Gourmet Paradise is built on an archipelago, with a large island in the center surrounded by several smaller islands, forming a shape like stars surrounding the moon.

The surrounding small islands are generally used for cultivating food ingredients and conducting experiments.

The central island is the most important, also known as "Food Island," and is the heart of the food paradise.

The food island is exceptionally large; even the other small islands combined are far smaller than it. It is mainly divided into two areas: the ingredient area and the food area.

Soon, the ship docked at the designated port.

Led by Menqi, the group set foot on the land of the food island.

At the same time, a new attribute bar appeared in Lynn's mind. Sure enough, there would be attribute bars in such special places.

I wonder what kind of cards I can generate for him...

Menchi's mission is now complete, and everyone is free to explore this paradise full of delicious food.

The food island is roughly circular, with the outer ring being the food area and the middle being the ingredient area. It is not open to the public normally, except for the triennial food competition.

As they strolled around, Lynn and Chopper came to a street lined with food stalls and vendors, all of which had one thing in common—seafood!
