Living in Hunter x Hunter

Now that we have a precise target.

Lu Qi also began to make some changes. He was no longer just focused on training. He started to interact with the other people in the Sky Arena and also to learn more about the Sky Arena.

Lucci became busier and more fulfilled.

More than a month passed in this way, and he gained a better understanding of the Sky Arena and the situation in Kree City.

At this point, he was working on the 100th floor.

The Sharingan's abilities allowed him to copy many techniques, but of course, it would take time and battles to truly master and make them his own.

Lucci also gained considerable fame in the Sky Arena.

A referee of this age is already quite a spectacle, and in addition, Lucci's ability to never get injured in the ring adds to his legendary status.

There are a total of 12 martial arts schools that control the Sky Arena. This is not entirely fixed, because there are many martial arts schools in the world, and any one of them may rise to prominence at any time.

This is equivalent to 12 board seats.

Of course, it wasn't like this at the beginning.

Instead, it gradually evolved into this form with the emergence of fighting tournaments.

In each fighting tournament, the top 12 martial arts styles can obtain this spot.

Participating in the profits of the Sky Arena can be done either by participating in its operation, though the latter is rare. Most of the time, it's about finding jobs for unsuccessful disciples in martial arts schools or arranging jobs for their families.

This allows them to focus on their cultivation without being disturbed by external things.

Since this rule was established, these seats have changed every year, but the only one that remains unchanged is Shingenryu.

There are still six months until the next fighting tournament.

The requirement to participate in the fighting tournament is to reach level 200 and have won a single battle.

The Sky Arena doesn't have any player-hosting system yet.

What would happen if a casual player participated in a fighting tournament and even achieved a good ranking?

It's unclear at this point, as no individual has ever won the championship since the tournament began.

It's not that there aren't any masters among the independent martial artists, but rather that there are far more masters among the world's renowned martial arts schools.

Lucci also looked into the champions of the previous fighting tournaments and saw a familiar name among them.

By-Yonde, son of Nitroud.

As for the others, Lucci naturally couldn't possibly know them.

Currently, the operation of the Sky Arena mainly relies on the meetings held after each fighting tournament to determine the distribution of benefits and the operation of the Sky Arena.

The 20 chief referees are the enforcers.

Of course, the chief referee also has the opportunity to participate in the operation of the Sky Arena, but the authority is not that great. He needs to inform the twelve "board members" and obtain the support of most of the chief referees.

The entire Sky Arena is a complex and interconnected network.

The Sky Arena has many staff members, but the referee position is the most important.

The others are all ordinary staff or administrative personnel.

To become a chief referee, one is essentially the same as a player: sufficient experience and sufficient ability.

The higher up the hierarchy, the fewer the number of referees there are, which also represents an increase in their power.

At first, Lucci thought it would be difficult to make some changes, but he soon found that it was not.

He naturally had no chance of participating in the major operations.

However, when his permissions are increased, he will be able to do some things.

It's like he's now the referee on the 100th floor, and he can gain complete control over a certain area below the 100th floor.

He can use it as he pleases.

You can operate various industries, or even rent it out to others.

That's really a great benefit.

Lucci hasn't decided what to do yet. Sky Arena has too much business; he'd rather do something different.

Besides Sky Arena, Bick also figured out a lot about the situation in Kree City over the course of more than a month.

Kry has an official government, as it is located within the territory of the Republic of Batochia.

Kree City is home to five major factions.

These are the martial arts dojo forces and the four major yakuza families.

The influence of the martial arts dojo is undeniable; various martial arts schools, both large and small, have established themselves here.

The larger one is world-renowned, while the smaller one is owned by a player from a certain Sky Arena.

It's a large group, but of course, the relationships among members aren't particularly harmonious.

The four major mafia families radiate outwards from the Sky Arena, each occupying a territory in their own right.

Among them, the Conrad family is the one that Lucci is most familiar with.

Then there are the Hobart, Daniel, and Harlan families.

Their main businesses include prostitution, gambling, drugs, and collecting protection money.

The Conrad family is a bit different; they have legitimate businesses that cover all aspects of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and they even have connections with some martial arts schools.

Based on this information.

Lucci can derive some conditions.

To become the controller or operator of the Sky Arena, one needs to be able to generate greater profits and gain acceptance from various martial arts schools.

In Lucci's view, many martial artists who came here were quite decadent.

In Crete, you can experience a lot if you have money.

Whether they were high-ranking members of the Sky Arena or martial artists, once they had enough status and money, they began to indulge in a life of extravagance and debauchery.

A significant portion of the gang's profits comes from them.

In other words, the Heart Source School holds the highest position in the Sky Arena and has some plans for the operation of the Sky Arena, which are to ensure order and prevent certain things from appearing in the Sky Arena.

Otherwise, the Sky Arena would probably be filled with casinos and the sex industry.

Therefore, if Lucci wants to gain enough influence, in addition to his own strength, it would be best if he could join the Heart Source School and become a member.

At the same time, one must have the qualifications to negotiate with gang families on an equal footing, whether in terms of status or strength.

Alternatively, they could directly unify the gang families in Kerry City.

At least for now, the Conrad family seems to have the qualifications, and judging from the way the family operates, it is not a short-sighted mafia family.

If he wanted to gain status, Lucci felt that simply becoming a referee and leveling up wasn't enough.

He wanted to try a different approach.

Of course, money is essential to operate this business.

Lucci started by trying his hand in the "entertainment" industry, which could also be described as a "collaboration" with the Conrad family.

Lucci began to develop his Nen ability independently.

As a natural Nen user, he even has the ability to sign in Nen.

But in Lucci's eyes, that ability was more like something that the "system" itself couldn't control.

He needs to develop a capability that he can control.

Instead of developing powerful abilities, he focused on his memory.

He doesn't have a photographic memory; he needs to dig into the memories "deep within his heart."

At first, he thought about waiting for the three-tomoe Sharingan to hypnotize him to "remember" it, but then he realized that his body was different and his memories were probably related to his "soul".

I still decisively chose Nen.
