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

Chapter 92 A Luxurious Four-Man Team! Their Goal is the Championship! (Seeking First Subscriptions)

In addition, the delicious food that grows can be eaten by oneself or traded with Toriko. Most importantly, he doesn't have to go through so much trouble to find delicious food.

The Gourmet Tree is essentially a gourmet creation machine!

Moreover, it was currently in a harvestable state. With a slight thought, Lynn collected two cards from the [Tree of Gourmet Food].

A C-grade [Pork Chop Rice Bowl] and a C-grade [Sweet Cola] – without doing anything, I easily obtained two cards, enough for one synthesis.

Therefore, it is clear that even if he does not provide food, the Gourmet Tree is guaranteed to grow at least two C-grade cards. It is just unknown how long it will take to mature, and that remains to be seen.

The most urgent task now is to acquire the ability to synthesize B-grade cards. He doesn't lack C-grade cards anymore, and he will naturally have plenty of B-grade cards in the future. Therefore, he needs to have the ability to synthesize A-grade cards from B-grade cards, otherwise it will just be a waste.

This matter can't be rushed; it all depends on luck.

Alternatively, you could have your heroes pay more attention to people whose abilities are related to the word "synthesis," and then fight them; you might have a chance to obtain a synthesis ability card.

Lynn composed himself, and the others gathered around.

"Wow, that's amazing! I didn't realize this Nen beast was so strong." Bissie couldn't help but praise it. Looking at it this way, Gengar's appearance improved even more in her eyes. She'd give it a 65 out of 100.

"Eyes gleaming!" Gengar became smug upon hearing someone praise it, stretching its lips and making a funny face.

Biskey was still smiling, but she thought to herself, "Making faces isn't a good thing, I'll deduct 5 points, 60 points is about right."

"You're still cuter." Bisge looked at Chopper, who had returned to his petite and adorable form, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she quickly pulled him into her arms. "You fluffy little guy."

"Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy~" Chopper grinned, his chin long and slender, saying one thing but meaning another.

She adores Chopper, not only because he's prettier than Gengar, but also because they share the same "transformation" ability, which gives Bisge a sense of finding a "kindred spirit."

After the battle, it was time to reap the rewards.

Without even needing discussion, everyone unanimously decided not to damage the ancient tree. After all, it was not easy to plant the plants of the Dark Continent, and this was a priceless treasure; it would be a great pity to destroy it.

Although it is dangerous, as long as you don't get close, you will be fine. It is already an extremely safe place in the Dark Continent.

If we keep it, we can come back and harvest it every three years, but we don't know how long it will take for the fruit to ripen.

There are currently six white fruits on the tree. After a brief discussion, Gail and Lynn each got two, and Menchi and Bisge each got one.

Lynn was undoubtedly the biggest contributor, and he accepted two without question. Gail was willing to give each of the three of them 500 million Jenny as compensation and also accepted the extra fruit.

Thus, in this one trip, Lynn not only obtained an A-grade [Tree of Gourmet Food], but also received a reward of 5.5 billion Jenny and two Healing Fruits.

According to Gail, this fruit can heal serious injuries and dispel negative states, including thoughts of death, which is a small "hope".

In the Dark Continent, hope often coexists with calamity, such as Nitromoe, which grants longevity, and the Hellish Bell Twin-Tailed Serpent.

This ancient tree also possesses this characteristic, except that it embodies both hope and disaster.

Lynn doesn't plan to take it for now; such a good thing should be saved for when an emergency arises and it can be used to save his life.

Meanwhile, Biskey and Galo offered to accompany them to express their gratitude.

They had both achieved their goals and had no intention of participating in the second half of the cooking competition. They could help with the hunting, and all the ingredients would be given to Lynn and Menchi.

Lynn raised an eyebrow. Was this a renewal of "Demon King's Protection"?

This is even better. With the help of Bisji and Gal, there is hope of catching even better ingredients, which will help improve our ranking in the competition.

He refused to believe it, having the hunting duo of Bisji and Galus, and the chef duo of Menchi and Erina.

With such a star-studded lineup, if he doesn't take the top three, who will?

According to the original timeline, Menchi could have made it into the top three on her own, but now that her abilities have been doubled, shouldn't she be the champion?

It's the fourth day of the competition, and there's less than half the time left. They need to speed up their journey and collect ingredients along the way.

Due to route issues, they won't have time to reach the other two danger zones. Perhaps they can wait until after the next major competition to see?

For the next few days, they maintained the lineup of the "Journey to the West Four" and traversed the food preparation area.

Along the way, they passed through forests, plains, glaciers, and other terrains, and also collected all sorts of precious ingredients.

Menchi's refrigerator had limited space, so it only contained a small amount of perishable food. The rest of the food was wrapped in large animal skin bags, which everyone carried on their backs. This was the most common method used by the contestants.

After all, not everyone has the precious ability of spatial perception.

Lynn didn't reveal anything more. For example, he didn't show Gengar's spatial abilities, but he did let it sneak out to collect food and put it in its belly.

Currently, its belly is about the size of a room, and it can expand as its strength increases, making it extremely practical.

Although we no longer need the [Seamless Expansion Box], it is a space-type item after all, and it would be too extravagant to use it for synthesis. We can keep it for later use by our faction or when our card characters go out to do errands.

On the sixth night, which was also the last night of the competition, the participants needed to reach the finish line by noon the following day.

The night was endless, and a bright, clear moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft moonlight over the forest below.

Lynn and his group had just finished dinner in a clearing in the middle of the forest.

After spending these few days together, we've gotten to know each other quite well and have become good friends.

Lynn naturally didn't miss this opportunity and had Bisge, who was considered the "best mentor candidate," teach him a few moves to see if there were any problems with his training and how to correct them.

Especially the **hard**!

He had never been able to grasp the most difficult technique in this [Nen] system, which was exactly what Siji could help him with.

"Use [Condensation] first, it's easy to maintain." Bisge put her hands on her hips and stared at Lynn, her wine-red eyes covered with Condensation, allowing her to observe every movement of Lynn's Nen.

Lynn gathered a large amount of Nen in his right hand, and then gradually transferred Nen from other places to his right hand, like blowing up a balloon, making it bigger and bigger.

At this point, a small amount of energy would still escape from other parts of the body, so Lynn used [Absolute] to eliminate the energy from those other parts.

If all goes well, the right hand will receive 100% of the Nen from within the body and be greatly strengthened, which is called "hardness," a powerful move among advanced techniques!

With a hum, his right hand transformed into an incomparably dazzling ball of light, standing out conspicuously in the dim forest, with astonishing energy flowing within it.

The light illuminated Lynn's angular face as he stared at his right hand with a look of delight.

Become!

He finally succeeded in getting started with "hardness," as expected of a renowned teacher. With Bisji's help these past few days, he has finally crossed that threshold.

Having mastered "Hardness" means he has learned all the techniques, which alone surpasses most Nen users.

What he needs to do next is to continuously deepen his understanding—master the seed, and start!
