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

Chapter 93 A-Grade Gourmet Cells! Lynn is a diamond in the rough, worth a hundred million!

Lynn directly used [Mastery of Seeds] on [Hard], the most cost-effective ultimate move.

Over the next month, he will quickly master the skill of "hardness" and, in doing so, deepen his understanding of other skills.

"Congratulations!" Bisge also smiled.

Seeing Lynn's progress, she was genuinely happy for him.

Although they had only spent a few days together, she found that Lynn's progress was unexpectedly fast, especially in the most difficult skill to learn, such as "hardness".

When Lynn first demonstrated to her three days ago, she was still a little short of successfully getting started. But since she started teaching her, Lynn has made great strides and has now successfully gotten started!

She immediately realized something was wrong. With this level of talent, Lynn shouldn't have been stuck at that level for so long.

Unless—he's a self-taught Nen user!

Sure enough, when she asked Lynn, she received a clear answer.

Lynn is a naturally awakened Nen user who has grown to this level without a master to guide him.

To be fair, Lynn was the most skilled self-taught player she had ever seen.

Because self-taught individuals lack professional guidance, nine out of ten will go astray and waste their talents.

Lynn's skills may not be as strong as some self-taught individuals, but he has one remarkable quality: he manages to stay on the right path by figuring things out on his own.

He mastered both the basic four major principles and the advanced application technique, [Firm Concealment Circulation Condensation], very thoroughly.

If she hadn't known that Lynn had no reason to lie to her, she would have found it hard to believe that Lynn was an unorthodox individual.

This is—an unparalleled gem in the world!

It's a piece of rough jade that might only appear in one out of ten million, no, it's one out of one hundred million.

The shock Lynn brought her was no less than that of a rare piece of jade that had come to the surface on its own without being dug up, and then was polished into a high-quality jade by geological changes.

That's far too "subjective".

It's so rare.

To be honest, she was really tempted. If she had met Lynn earlier, she would definitely have considered taking her on as a disciple.

Not only because of his ability to exorcise thoughts, but also because Lynn performed so well.

She not only appreciates genuine gemstones, but also likes to compare talented but inexperienced individuals to unpolished gems. She also enjoys the process of guiding people to grow.

People who have been nurtured shine like gems in nature.

It's a pity it's too late.

Lynn has now forged her own path, surpassing most Nen users. She is a polished gem, with no room for further development.

All she could do was offer appropriate help as a friend.

For example, providing detailed guidance or resting after training, requires her very useful Nen ability!

After some training, Lynn consciously lay down on the carpet, and immediately Bisji's Nen surged in her hands, forming a beautiful woman.

This is Bisge's Nen ability—"Magical Beautician" Cookie.

Miss Cookie is a beautician created by Bisge using her Nen abilities, possessing a wide variety of professional beauty techniques and skills.

With her superb massage skills, she can make people feel happy, eliminate fatigue, and quickly restore physical strength.

Then apply a special lotion made from air, which can produce a variety of beauty effects.

Miss Cookie is a girl with long cherry-red hair and a doll-like facial expression.

Miss Cookie slowly walked to Lynn's side, her hands enveloped in a thick pink aura, and gently surrounded Lynn's body.

Miss Cookie's ability—"Pink Breath"!

This is a massage with a restorative effect, which can provide the equivalent of 8 hours of sleep in 30 minutes, allowing you to rest no matter how strenuous your practice.

Back on Earth, Lynn had been thinking about trying Miss Cookie's massage techniques.

Just watching Gon and the others in the anime back then, you could feel the comfort of that massage.

Now that he's arrived in the Hunter world, he's successfully experienced it firsthand.

As Miss Cookie's massage continued, Lynn felt waves of tingling sensations spreading throughout her body. The accompanying pink aura also had a restorative effect, leaving her feeling warm and cozy.

This feeling is indeed addictive, hmm—I wonder if he gave that crown inlaid with liquid titanium ore to Bisge, and she would be willing to massage him for the rest of her life.

Lynn drifted off to sleep as his thoughts wandered.

The next day.

The four set off early and arrived at the finish line at nine o'clock in the morning, three hours before the start of the second half of the game.

At the end of the ingredients section, the inner side belongs to the ingredients section, while the outer side is the food section.

The outside was no longer as empty as before, but instead filled with countless standardized kitchen utensils, somewhat like the tables used by the candidates in the Menchi section of the Hunter Exam.

However, the tools here are significantly more varied than those used in the Hunter Exam, covering almost all the utensils needed for various culinary preparations.

This is where the contestants will be cooking.

Directly in front was a large arena, where three referees were sitting and waiting for the contestants to arrive.

Most of the contestants had already arrived by then.

Lynn and Menchi found a table and used it as their cooking spot. Since the competition rules stipulated that teams could only have a maximum of two people, Bissie and Gail did not stay with them but went to the audience seats next door to watch.

They were also very curious about what ranking Lynn and Menchi would get.

There were many people in the arena, but Lynn unconsciously focused his gaze on the three people on the stage, specifically Netero sitting on his left!

Netero's hairstyle is rather unusual; the top and sides are shaved, with only a ponytail on top, which makes him look quite neat.

He had a long white beard on his chin, and strangely, the end of the beard was curved like a scorpion's stinger.

His long earlobes on both sides made him look more kind and gentle.

He was wearing what appeared to be a custom-made robe, with an overall blue and white color scheme, just like when he appeared in the original work.

Many characters in the Hunter x Hunter series have left a lasting impression, and among them, Lynn particularly likes this old man, especially the words Netero said during the final battle with the Chimera Ant King.

Of course, he's more curious about something else now.

What tier does Netero belong to, and what cards can you get after defeating him?

Although the old man's condition has declined due to the passage of time, he is still undeniably one of the strongest in the six continents. Lynn estimates that Netero is definitely at the S-level, but he is not sure which segment exactly.

In other words, defeating Netero has a very high probability of dropping an S-rank card!

Unfortunately, it's too early for him to challenge Netero with his current strength.

Lynn shook his head almost imperceptibly, but he was also full of confidence in himself. As long as he continued to grow like this, it wouldn't be long before he would be able to face Netero.

Thinking this, Lynn noticed a new card appearing in his mind—the last card in the Gourmet Paradise trait bar!

It was none other than the "food cells" he needed most!

【Name: Gourmet Cell】

[Grade: A—]

[Type: Ability Card]

They can regenerate biological tissues, enhance the vitality of organisms, break through physiological limits, and achieve evolution at a higher level of life. These cells are self-awakening, golden in appearance, free from demonic possession, and do not require forced consumption of food, but they need to be cultivated from scratch. Consuming gourmet food can promote evolution.]
