Hunter x Hunter: Pokémon Master, the World's Strongest

Another reason was that he wanted to verify whether his previous guess about the rules of Pokémon breeding was correct.

The Samok Desert, the largest desert covering about one-third of the Sahilta United States, is the testing site he chose!

As Link expected, he had just stepped into the Samok Desert when the progress bar symbolizing the breeding of Pokémon appeared in his mind again.

Link didn't feel any surprise other than anticipation. As this place was named "the largest desert," it made perfect sense for Pokémon to be bred there.

What he wanted to know was which Pokémon it would be?

Most of the Samok Desert area is covered by sand, but there are still many humans living here.

People have even developed a huge tourism chain based on local characteristics.

What appeared in Link's eyes was the largest city on the edge of the Samok Desert, which is also the first stop people usually choose when traveling here.

Tucker City!

The endless and extremely thick dark brown city walls keep most of the sand and dust out.

Only a small amount of sand and dust drifting in from high altitude fell in the uninhabited corners of the city, making people staying here realize that this is a city in the desert.

When you come to the city, you will find that the people inside, whether locals or outsiders, basically wear the same clothes.

Wear basically white clothes from head to toe to reduce heat absorption.

A considerable number of people also wrap bandage-like objects around their heads, making them look a bit like the Middle Eastern people on the blue planet.

At the same time, there are great similarities in skin color. Due to long-term exposure to high temperatures, people's skin color is mostly dark brown.

Link couldn't help but think that if he were a hip-hop guy here, he would probably be able to perfectly integrate into the locals.

Due to the vast area of ​​the desert, people in the desert have cultivated a large number of creatures suitable as mounts through long-term excavation and development.

The three-humped camel is the most common mount!

Overall, it is similar to the camel on the blue planet, except that the three-humped camel has one more hump.

The hump is where camels store energy and water. An extra hump means longer endurance.

Moreover, camels are native creatures of the desert. They have great endurance and are resistant to drought and heat. They are also cheap to raise.

It is the most cost-effective and excellent mount in the desert tourism industry, and has also provided a lot of help to local development.

Looking at the three-humped camels filling the streets, Link recalled what the old man at the camel rental shop had just said.

What he said was actually not wrong, and Link could feel it after riding for a while.

But this three-humped camel has a huge drawback - it is not fast enough.

This camel walks like a leisurely old man taking a stroll. It is okay as a mount for sightseeing, but if you want to travel in a hurry, this three-humped camel is definitely not useful.

Watching the progress bar moving forward little by little, Link no longer cared about the speed. After all, he was here to travel.

Tucker City is very large, but there are not many buildings in it, and on average they are very short, which may be related to the sand and dust floating in the sky.

Most of the buildings are mainly khaki in color, standing on the ground like small bungalows, and basically have one or two floors.

The outer earthen walls are thick, but have many small holes and windows, which is part of the measures taken by the locals to reduce the impact of heat.

There was nothing interesting about these bungalows, and Link's main destination was the market area near the city center.

Since the local economy is mainly driven by tourism, the most common things in this city are things that serve tourism.

For example, there are B&Bs and hotels everywhere, mount rental places every two streets, and the market area where people gather together!

Chapter 3: Yellow Ant Compass (5/, looking for data)

Riding on a three-humped camel, Link slowly came to the market area. From the moment he arrived in this area, he clearly felt that there were more people.

This is the place with the most traffic in the whole city.

The streets are lined with stalls and shops selling local specialties, and it’s okay if there are shops.

Street vendors can only put up a large white cloth on their stalls to provide shade.

"Don't miss it if you're passing by! Freshly baked, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside dried sand wall lizards, only 500 Jhinis each!"

"This juicy and tender cactus is a favorite of the three-humped camels. Buy it quickly."

"The famous Samok sandworms, when stewed, taste sweet and delicious, and they also have aphrodisiac properties!"

……

The first impression Link had of this bustling market area was the wide variety of food.

Although most of the things inside were lizards, insects and the like, this did not affect Link's appetite for these special things.

So Link started eating as he walked, holding the dried lizard in his left hand and the sandworm meat in his right hand.

Especially after hearing about the benefits of sandworm meat, Link bought some extra and secretly put it in Gengar's stomach.

In the past, I would never dare to eat these things, but now as a Nen user, my physical fitness has improved.

There is also Gardevoir who can act as a doctor at any time, so Link can eat it without restraint.

After taking the treasure from the Halim ruins, Link's wealth has reached a considerable level.

He has plenty of money and buys almost every one he sees.

Even the three-humped camel traveling with it bought it a few cacti to eat.

He swallowed the dried lizard in one gulp, and a crunching sound came out of his mouth.

Beneath the crispy skin lies tender and juicy meat that tastes a bit like beef, but is more tender.

Link's dream on Blue Planet is to travel to various places, see interesting things, and taste delicious food.

It wasn't until he came into this world that Link truly realized his dream.

There are many kinds of food, and the market is not just about food.

There is Yellowstone that sparkles like gold, and there are also some clothes and tools needed for exploring the desert for sale.

What interested Link the most was the unique specialty of the Samok Desert - the Yellow Ant Compass.

The yellow-clawed ant belongs to the ant family and is only distributed in the Samok Desert and not in other deserts.

The yellow-clawed ant is golden all over and its body is much larger than that of ordinary ants, almost the size of a finger joint.

The most eye-catching thing is the pointed tentacle on the top of its head, which is the organ used to secrete and perceive pheromones.

Yellow-clawed ants locate their nests via pheromones, which are extremely powerful.

Experiments have shown that yellow-clawed ants can still sense the location of their anthill even if they are thousands of miles apart.

Because each group of yellow-clawed ants only corresponds to the anthill where they were born.

So people in the Samokh region used it as a positioning tool in the desert.

It looks rather simple, with five smaller yellow-clawed ants placed on a round stone slab and covered with a glass cover on top.

The cities where these ants' nests are located will be written on the side of the compass.

For example, the compass in Link's hand points to the city of Berganla, hundreds of miles away.

It looks a lot like the navigation compass in the One Piece world.

For most people, getting lost in this vast desert is like getting lost in the vast ocean, which is equivalent to death!

Therefore, the role of the yellow ant compass is very important!

Basically, this is an essential tool for everyone living in the desert.

Driven by curiosity, Link also bought a yellow ant compass. Perhaps he could try out whether this compass works in the future.

The Samok Desert was the third place he visited after coming to the Hunter x Hunter world.

The first place he appeared was just a small town, and it was Piers's small casino that allowed him to see the world.

The second is the Harimu City and Harimu Ruins, although it is also a tourist attraction.

But there are not many special things there, and it is mainly the history within the Halim ruins that makes Link feel eye-opening.

The third place, the Samok Desert, was the most appetizing place he had ever visited.

This suits your taste in terms of both travel and food.

After strolling around for a while, Link, feeling satisfied, turned his camel around and headed towards the city center, where there were many hotels for tourists to stay.

Seeing that the progress bar was moving slowly, Link would probably have to stay in the Samok Desert for quite some time, so he planned to stay here first.

Then explore the entire city.

If the progress bar is not full after you have visited all the cities, then go to the next desert city to continue visiting.

Without worries about money or power, Link can do whatever he wants freely.

While others work hard to cultivate their Nen abilities and look for people to fight with to gain combat experience, Link only needs to travel continuously to become stronger.

No one will force him to do something he doesn't like, and no one can force him to do it!

Chapter 4: Encounter with Menqi (5/, please give me the data)

A week later,

"Hey, eat a little. Did I give you too much good food and make your appetite too picky?"

Link held a large piece of spherical cactus in front of the three-humped camel, half tempting and half threatening it to eat it.

The three-humped camel looked at Link helplessly, with its hunchback face pouting.

After growing up, this week it finally experienced what it means to be in pain and happy at the same time.

This time, my employer was very generous and bought me spherical cacti to eat every day, which was something I would never have dared to think of before.

At the camel rental site, he could only eat ordinary feed every day, and he even got food from his mother's cousin——

An old three-humped camel told us that many three-humped camels have never eaten a spherical cactus in their lives.

I have a lot to eat every day...

But there are too many problems!

Seeing the three-humped camel constantly pointing at him to look at its belly, Link laughed awkwardly.

The camel's belly, which was originally healthy, well-proportioned and full of muscles, now looked like it was pregnant. It was more than one size larger than when it was first rented.

At first glance, it looks like a circle of swimming rings are put on the belly of a three-humped camel.

This week, Link wanted to try every new and interesting food he saw.

This naturally includes portions that are too large or food that you find unpalatable after eating.

Adhering to the principle of tasting more varieties...all the things Link didn't want to eat were stuffed into the three-humped camel's stomach.

"Hello, are you available to talk now?"

At this time, a young and capable voice sounded from Link's ears.

Turning around, I saw a head of blue-green (this color in the new version) hair with several pigtails.

The fair and tender face reveals the fact that the woman is young.

The upper body is a conspicuous purple gauze, with a white top on the outside, and the lower body is a bright green shorts.

Although her outfit was different from when she appeared in the original novel, Link still recognized that the woman in front of him was the examiner Meng Qi!

Mengqi is a gourmet hunter, and if Link remembers correctly, she should be 20 years old now.

He also broke the record of the Hunter Association and became the youngest one-star hunter!

The levels in the Hunter Association are roughly divided into four types: no stars, one star, two stars, and the highest three stars.

To become a one-star hunter, one must make significant contributions in a certain field.

To become a two-star hunter, you need to train a one-star hunter while being a one-star hunter yourself.

Finally, those who have made significant contributions in multiple different fields can be rated as three-star hunters.

Normally, promotions are based on this set of standards, but there seem to be special cases where exceptional promotions are permitted.

Menqi, who became a one-star hunter at the age of 20, may not be very powerful, but he must be extremely talented in the field of food!

Menqi, who was standing by, didn't know it yet, but Link just glanced at her and recalled all the information related to her.
