Creating gods in the Hunter x Hunter world

Fu Long sat near the exit of the cabin, swaying his body from time to time. He was very stable, and it felt no different from being on flat ground.

Kurapika was asleep in his homemade hammock, completely unaware of his surroundings. Leorio sat cross-legged on the ground, his body swaying back and forth with the ship. Only Gon was constantly running around, helping those who were suffering.

Fu Long laughed. It was pretty much what he remembered. When watching comics and anime, this scene would pass by in a flash, but when he actually experienced it, the process lasted for more than an hour.

When the storm subsided, only four people remained in the cabin who could stand up.

The old captain's voice came from outside the cabin door: "How's it going inside?"

"Just like before, almost the entire force was wiped out," a crew member said with a laugh.

The hatch opened, and the red-nosed captain looked into the cabin and snorted.

"What, want to see if we can pick out a few gems from the trash?" Fu Long said from behind the captain.

Captain Red Nose glanced back at Fu Long, a strange glint in his eyes.

Fu Long just smiled. He said that on purpose, after all, he also needed to make his stance clear: I already know the situation of this ship, so there's no need to lie to me.

Fu Long had already figured out his role: to appear sophisticated and profound, which was essential before the hunter selection.

"Oh, there are a few decent guys here." The captain glanced at the three calm-looking men in the room, then looked back at Fu Long before leaving the cabin.

Fu Long smiled slightly and followed him out. However, he did not go to the deck. Instead, he stood outside the cabin, leaning against the cabin wall, watching the birds in the sky.

Are you familiar with the selection process?

"Perhaps. I definitely want to get the hunter's license; it's something I've always dreamed of," Fu Long said.

The captain nodded and handed over a water bottle: "Would you like some?"

"can."

He took the kettle, and sure enough, it wasn't filled with water at all, but with alcohol. But that didn't matter to Fu Long.

A moment later, Xiao Jie appeared on the deck, staring intently into the distance with a solemn expression.

"It's a nice gem," the captain said, then walked towards Xiao Jie.

Fu Long shook his head, not wanting to disturb Xiao Jie at this moment, as Xiao Jie had his own opportunities, so Fu Long returned to the cabin.

After a while, a notification came from the ship that an even bigger storm was coming in two hours, and those who wanted to survive should take their own lifeboats to a nearby island.

The people on the ship quickly panicked. Many people left the cabin and ran towards the lifeboats. A dozen or so people were in each lifeboat, and they rowed together toward the nearest island.

Fu Long stood aside and watched. These guys, who had looked fierce and menacing when they boarded the ship, now looked so pitiful with their pale faces as they ran away.

Shaking his head, Fu Long returned to the cabin.

Now there were only three people left in the cabin, making it much more spacious.

The sky had darkened, and waves continued to crash against the hull, causing it to rock violently. A storm was approaching.

Captain Red Nose walked in and looked at the four people in the cabin.

"You guys, come here for a second."

The four men gathered and stood in front of the captain.

"Please introduce yourselves first."

"Leorio".

"Xiao Jie".

"Kurapika".

"Fu Long".

Why do you want to be hunters?

Leorio and Kurapika didn't want to talk about it, but Gon jumped in and said, "Because my dad is a Hunter, I want to become a Hunter too."

"You're really affecting our unity," Leorio said, grinning, his angry expression quite amusing.

Fu Long laughed and said, "I already said, it's a kind of longing."

“Fu Long, what you’re doing is also disrupting unity,” Leorio said, turning to Fu Long.

Fu Long simply shrugged. He knew that Leorio and Kurapika would have a conflict here, and then make up. This was bound to happen, so Fu Long had no intention of stopping it.

After the captain explained that this was also a selection process for hunters, Leorio and Kurapika were able to explain their situation.

As expected, Leorio and Kurapika headed out of the cabin over a matter of how they addressed each other, ready to fight one-on-one.

"Hey, you two..." the captain roared.

"Let them go. They're young, a fight will do them good," Fu Long said, standing next to the captain.

The captain rolled his eyes at Fu Long: "You talk like you're so old."

Well, Fu Long is really embarrassed. He's right, he's eighteen years old, but his heart is old.

Outside the cabin, the prelude to a storm was underway, with waves crashing against the deck. Leorio and Kurapika stood facing each other.

Both of them were truly enraged, and it was clear that if a fight broke out, it would be a life-or-death situation.

Although Fu Long knew the two wouldn't actually fight, he was still quite nervous being in the thick of it.

Just then, the inevitable happened: a mast snapped, and a crew member was thrown overboard and fell into the sea.

Leorio and Kurapika rushed forward, while Gon leaped forward and successfully caught the crew member.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head: "Aren't you going to make a move?"

Fu Long laughed and said, "No need, the three of them are enough."

However, the sharp-eyed captain noticed the nine-headed skull that had disappeared from Fu Long's hand, and then laughed.

Chapter 28 Methods for Solving Difficult Problems

At the port of Dorei, the ship docked. After Fu Long disembarked, he looked towards the big tree on the mountaintop, remembering that it was a shortcut in the original novel.

Finally, it was the Fiend Fox who led Gon and the others to the Hunter Selection Site.

That way, I can go along and take a look.

Fu Long mainly wanted to see how similar the two ferocious foxes that Xiao Jie had identified were, and also to see the magical beasts.

Soon, Xiao Jie also said goodbye to the captain and received a hint from him.

"Which way do we go?" The four of them were now good friends, after all, they had come from the same boat.

"The captain said that the shortest route is to keep walking towards the big tree," Xiao Jie naturally repeated what the captain had said.

“Then let’s go.” Fu Long knew the plot and naturally wouldn’t choose another route, and Fu Long had his own ideas.

In the early stages, I followed Gon and the others. When it came to the Hunter Selection, I had to face Hisoka, which was the only trouble in this Hunter Selection.

However, I don't think it's a big problem. I definitely can't beat Hisoka right now, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to escape.

Besides, there's still Illumi, isn't there?

Leorio offered a different opinion and decided to take the bus, while Kurapika joined Gon's team.

"Mr. Fu Long, do you really believe the captain's words?" Kurapika was still a little skeptical.

Fu Long looked at Kurapika and said, "Your personality is probably similar to mine. You analyze things too much, which can be tiring sometimes. It's good to relax and occasionally be a different version of yourself."

Xiao Jie nodded very seriously, but it was unclear whether he truly understood.

"Oh right, that guy is catching up."

"Wait for me." Leorio's voice rang out from behind. "Haha, you guys can feel it too, can't you? You're pretty lonely without me."

“There are three of us. I think you’re the one who’s lonely,” Kurapika said.

"Shut up. Without me by your side, how could you not be lonely?"

Fu Long shook his head. To be honest, it was quite strange that Kurapika and Leorio could become friends; the two types were a bit at odds.

Soon, a stone village appeared ahead, and the group stopped.

"Someone's there." Both Gon and Kurapika sensed it.

Leorio looked completely bewildered, while Fu Long just smiled, a mischievous glint suddenly appearing in his eye.

Sure enough, an old woman with only two teeth on her upper and lower jaws walked out, surrounded by a group of masked people.

The old woman looked at the four people with a serious expression and said, "Flame Challengers..."

Before she could even speak, Fu Long suddenly roared, "Quick question, quick answer, choose one, begin!"

The entire room fell silent. The old lady's mouth dropped open, her previously serious face now filled with utter bewilderment.

where am I?

who am I?

My words?

"Those are my words." After a long while, the old lady realized that the other person had called her that.

Fu Long burst out laughing. This expression was so funny; he really should find an artist to draw it. He asked, "What does it feel like to have your words stolen?"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and explain the rules of the quiz, haha, I'm not laughing anymore, really, ha... Pfft~, I can't take it anymore, I really won't laugh, wait a minute, let me compose myself."

The scene was somewhat awkward. Fu Long was laughing, while the old lady and her clansmen were rendered speechless by Fu Long.

After a long while, Fu Long composed himself and said seriously, "Please give me a question."

"Go to hell!" the old lady cursed, but in the end, she still had to complete the selection, so she explained the rules.

Just like everyone knows, it's just a choice between one or two, you have to answer, and you can't say anything else.

"If you're not in a hurry to answer, why don't you let me answer first?" a voice came from behind.

The stalker appeared. Fu Long glanced back; a dead man wasn't worth describing.

The man didn't stand on ceremony and stood in front. The old woman glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Your mother and girlfriend have been captured by bad guys. You can only save one of them. Who would you save? One, your mother; two, your girlfriend."

The person immediately chose one.

"Go ahead." After some discussion, the old lady made way for her.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Leorio was indeed furious.
