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

The green grass was dyed blood red.

Lucario disappeared in a flash, leaving only a gradually cooling corpse.

A moment later, the wretched man's body also completely disappeared from the spot.

If a player dies in the game, not only will the card disappear, but the body will also be teleported back to the place where they logged in.

After glancing at the disappearing wretched man, Link called out Arcanine.

Next, we will take the wind speed dog to the nearest city.

【Travel】You can only move to places you have been to before.

[Magnetism] can only bring you to players you have met in the game.

It sounds like the flying skill in the Pokémon game, which can only fly to cities or towns that you have visited.

I remember that Xiaojie and the other guy came in on September 9th, and now it is September 10th, which means I came in two days earlier than them.

There is a map on the wretched man's card, and you can easily reach the destination by riding the wind speed dog according to the map.

It's just that it's a little slower than these cards in the same industry.

There is a [Rafting] card that allows you to go to places you have never been to, but the wretched man does not have this card.

Even if there was, there was no guarantee that Menqi and I would end up in the same place.

Not long after, the two of them rode on Arcanine and arrived at the nearest city - the bounty city of Andochiba.

Seeing that he finally saw a different scenery, Link shifted his attention away from the gestation bar in his mind.

From the moment you enter the Greed Island, a new gestation bar appears.

This place is called a city, but Link thinks it would be more appropriate to call it a town.

At first glance, this place is not very big. Most of the houses are two or three stories high, and there are few high-rise buildings.

Once you step into Andoqiba, the architectural style inside becomes more intuitive.

Link feels like he's in a Western style, with taverns and bounty notices everywhere.

It is worthy of its name of "bounty city".

At the same time, Link also saw the flyer for the monthly competition.

In the original novel, Xiaojie and Xiaojie won the Sword of Truth after participating in the competition.

But Link and the others were not interested in this.

They came to Greed Island more to taste the strange and bizarre food there.

The items in Greed Island are very powerful, and most people will desire them after seeing them.

But Link is not included.

Those props are certainly interesting.

But for Link, who is already at the top of the world in terms of strength and owns many Pokémon, the attraction is just that.

Link found the truly useful items to be the [Recycling Room], [Witch's Rejuvenation Potion], and [Golden Scales]...

This time I came to Greedy Island just to taste the food, travel with Menqi, and breed Pokémon.

So their first stop was the famous restaurant in Andochibali - the Cat Restaurant.

There is a promotion going on here now. You can get a prize as long as you finish the Big Mac pasta within 30 minutes.

"Boss, two Big Mac pasta dishes, please."

"Ok."

The person in charge of the cat restaurant is actually a cat.

It is a chubby cat standing on two legs and wearing a chef's uniform.

Not long after, two large plates of giant pasta were served.

The surroundings were suddenly filled with rich fragrance, which whetted one's appetite just by smelling it.

This giant pasta dish is very large, but Link and Menqi are not ordinary people, so they can easily finish it.

Link even ordered some ice drinks to quench his thirst.

“It’s amazing that you can make such delicious food.”

Even Mengqi, who is picky about food, couldn't find any flaws in it. As a pasta dish, it was already very well made.

"Huh? You finished eating so quickly?"

The cat chef was shocked by the speed of Link and the others. After making sure that they had really finished eating, he took out two cards.

"Here are your prizes."

【Garga Fight】, F-rank card.

It is one of the three delicacies on the island.

You can’t imagine how delicate its taste is just by looking at its appearance. People say that eating male fish eggs can prolong life.

Garugada looks a bit like a "scavenger" on the blue planet, and it is hard to think of it as a delicacy.

"Mr. Cat, can I borrow your kitchen for a moment? I'm planning on cooking the prize right here."

Meng Qi glanced at the introduction on the card and said to the cat chef with a round face after a while.

"This is okay..."

The cat chef swung his cute tail and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After working for so long, this is the first time it has seen someone using the kitchen to cook.

So Mengqi took her and Link's [Garugama] and walked into the kitchen.

She wanted to try out what was so special about the ingredients on Greed Island.

At the same time, Gengar suddenly jumped out from Link's shadow, ready to hand the seasoning to Menqi.

Many of Menchi's seasonings are stored in Gengar's stomach.

After a while, Mengqi came out with two plates of boiled fish.

There is a reminder on the card of [Garugada] that the flavor will be better if boiled or grilled.

Mengqi followed the above suggestions and cooked it by boiling.

Menqi's cooking skills + the deliciousness of the ingredients + expensive seasonings.

When these three are combined, Link is presented with a delicious meal.

“This…this is amazing!”

The cat chef next to him looked like he had seen a ghost, and his squinting eyes, which were originally hidden by the fat on his face, suddenly widened.

Menqi's cooking skills are far superior to it

"This F-grade card is okay. It's considered the C-grade ingredient we usually see. I wonder what the more difficult ingredients will be like?"

Menqi sat next to Link and expressed her feelings about [Garuga's fight].

Link nodded slightly, this made sense.

After all, [Garga Fight] is only an F-rank card, so it's pretty good to have C-rank ingredients.

"Besides that, this Garugada is fundamentally different from ordinary ingredients."

Meng Qi added that the next thing is what is really important.

"The essence of Garugada is actually the food made of thoughts."

When processing the ingredients, the experienced Mengqi clearly felt that this was different from normal ingredients.

"These cards are actually formed using the power of mind, and the items inside are naturally made of mind energy."

Link was not surprised by Meng Qi's words. So many strange things could not be true.

I think everything is formed by thoughts.

"Eating this food made of mind energy might be more helpful in improving your strength."

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. After Link ate it, the feeling he had was obviously better than that of C-grade ingredients.

Although there was certainly the influence of Menqi's cooking skills and seasonings, the two could still feel the extraordinary nature of the ingredients themselves.

Normal high-quality food ingredients go through a transformation process in the body, from food to energy, which then increases the energy of the consumer.

But the food in Greed Island is itself thoughts, and without the transformation step, there will be no consumption.

It is possible to provide mental energy to others with minimal loss.

However, this level is still low. It can basically only replenish the consumed amount of mental energy and can hardly increase the upper limit of mental energy.

I think it would require more advanced ingredients.

After paying, the two came out of the cat restaurant and planned to take a stroll in this bounty city.

With the wretched man's help, the two of them didn't have to wash dishes to pay off their debts like Xiaojie and his friend did.

In Greed Island, only money used as cards is valid, and normal coins cannot be used normally.

The NPCs here only recognize money that looks like cards.

The highest limit is 10000 for a Jie Ni card.

Although the wretched man didn't have much money, it was enough for two people to have a few meals.

If all else fails, you can use cards to pay off your debts.

"It seems to have attracted attention?"

Menqi talked to Link with a natural expression.

Perhaps it was because they came here on Arcanine that they were targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

But they are all rookies. Not to mention Link, even Menqi is far stronger than them.

According to Link's estimation, those people were probably only C-level in strength, and he didn't know where they got the confidence to target them.

"It's okay. Regardless of whether they have the courage to attack or not, the moment they attack, they will die."

Link's eyes swept around leisurely, his tone full of sarcasm, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

It's not that he is arrogant. Even if the people targeting the two of them are Jin, Netero and others, he won't be afraid.

Not to mention these bastards.

When the two of them reached a corner, Link showed a playful expression on his face and suddenly said:

"Come out, we're all old friends, there's no need to hide anything."

"Right, Biscuit."

A moment later, a little girl in a burgundy princess dress slowly walked out from the corner.

The little girl has a spiral ponytail and her big, clear eyes look very cute.

The little girl still had a smile on her innocent face, and she waved to Link:

"Long time no see, Link!"

The person who appeared in front of him was Link's old friend - "Muscle Girl" Biscuit.

Now Biscuit should be looking for the [Blue Planet] in Greed Island.

It was in Andochiba that Bisgi first met Xiaojie and Xiaojie.

But didn’t Biscuit come in with Xiaojie and the others?

Why are you here on Greed Island now?

With so many thoughts running through his mind, Link finally thought of a possibility.

Because he cleared out the spiders in advance, Bisiji was able to enter the Greed Island earlier.

"It's been a while since we last met. The last time we met was at the Sky Arena."

Link sighed slightly upon hearing this.

It has been several months since we last saw each other.
