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

Basically, the outer skin is charred, while the meat inside is still half-cooked and faintly dripping with blood.

For a moment, many candidates looked as gloomy as if they had lost their parents, and their faces were as gloomy as the burnt whole pigs they had roasted.

In their opinion, the hope of passing the exam is extremely slim!

With Link’s example, people thought that the roasted wild boar would be fragrant and delicious.

Their half-baked works are like history when compared with others' finished products...

I'm afraid Link himself didn't expect that his casual action would make other candidates use his work as a standard.

How do you make a regular Hog Roast have the same effect as one sprinkled with Kira Red Volcanic Salt?

It’s better to go to bed, maybe you will dream about it.

However, not all candidates made mistakes. A few still made a decent roasted whole pig.

Kurapika held his chin with his right hand, staring at the roasted pig in front of him with a frown.

Unlike Leorio who had a bitter face next to him, he roasted the whole pig step by step and the cooking time was just right.

There are still some issues, but at least it looks like edible food.

What puzzled Kurapika was that his roasted Hokusho didn't have the same unique aroma as Link's.

Only the ordinary aroma of roasted whole pig wafted from the front.

Kurapika's gaze wandered, and he subconsciously looked in Link's direction, where there were some pork bones on the table.

Judging from the highly recognizable nasal bone, it can be seen that it is indeed a porcupine.

So……

Did Link add any extra seasoning?

Kurapika's guess was close to the truth. He was considered to have the highest IQ among all the candidates and successfully discovered something wrong.

Finally, after an agonizing mental struggle, a brave man emerged and carried his "work of art" like a roasted whole pig onto the stage without hesitation.

"Unqualified!"

Menqi's forehead was covered with black lines, her eyebrows were twisted, and she held up the cross sign firmly.

Just by taking a look at her, she was deemed unqualified.

"Based on its appearance, if you hadn't told me it was a roasted whole pig, I would have thought it was coal in the form of a pig!"

Meng Qi criticized the "warrior" mercilessly, making the man feel ashamed, and then he carried the roasted pig away.

Seeing this, Buhara behind him also breathed a sigh of relief. The man took the initiative to carry it away, so he didn't have to endure the pain of tasting it himself.

After tasting Link's divine food, Buhala found these crooked melons and cracked dates really hard to eat.

This can also be considered as the influence caused by Link. Originally, Buhala would still eat it even if the other party cooked it poorly.

Although Menqi failed to pass, if one of the two examiners passed, it would also save the candidate some face.

Now that they have tasted Link’s roasted whole pig, neither Mengqi nor Buhala, who used to “accept everything”, are willing to taste these defective products.

……

Standing on the branch, Saci, who looked like a peeping Tom at first glance, felt something was wrong.

Although things had some twists and turns, they eventually developed in the direction he expected.

Under the telescope's lens, Menqi righteously rejected each candidate one by one, and all of them failed!

Buhara also realized that some of the food was not good, so he would taste the roasted whole pig like Kurapika's, and then give it a "pass" rating.

Of course, this is far from the "full score" he gave Link.

The problem is that it is not enough for him to pass alone. The rule requires both him and Menqi to be satisfied before he passes!

Link stood quietly in front of his table with his arms folded across his chest, taking in the reactions of the people in the room.

As the last candidate was labeled "unqualified" by Meng Qi, the venue suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Just like the calm before the storm, everyone has a lot of anger in their hearts, like a powder keg that can explode at any time.

What's worse, some have already clenched their fists and are thinking of taking action.

The situation is about to get out of control!

Chapter 68: Dream Egg, First Meeting with Netero (Additional Update, Thank You Everyone)

"Hey, Menqi, Link is the only one who made it through. Doesn't that seem a bit bad?"

Buhala lowered his head slightly and asked the thoughtful Menqi with a troubled expression.

In fact, Menqi herself now feels a little regretful.

Ever since she saw Link's exquisite roasted whole pig, even if she wanted to give the candidates some slack, she couldn't get past that hurdle in her heart.

The level called "Pursuit of Delicious Food"!

At the same time, under a slight impulse, Link was the only candidate present who passed...

Menqi lowered her eyes, not knowing what to do for a moment.

She was watching the reactions of the candidates and was afraid that it would arouse public outrage, and then her qualifications as an examiner would be revoked.

"Ugh……"

Link shook his head, sighed softly, and then walked towards the stage.

Link's sudden action attracted the attention of everyone present, and they all looked at Link, wondering what he was going to do?

At the same time, Sachi also noticed Link's behavior. After thinking about it for a while, he stopped the phone call in his hand that was about to notify the association.

"Link..."

Mengqi looked at Link who came in front of her and muttered softly, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone.

"It's okay, I'm just here to offer you a better solution."

Link heard that Menqi was also a little confused, so he chuckled and slowly explained his method.

……

"That's it then. You all agree with this proposal, right?"

Menqi and Buhala nodded obediently, like obedient kindergarten children.

"very good."

Link exclaimed in satisfaction, then turned to face all the examinees.

But his target is not these confused candidates.

Link waved towards the distant forest, as if inviting someone to come over.

The goal had not yet been reached, but the candidates in the audience started to discuss it heatedly.

"What is that man doing?"

"Why is he waving at the air?"

"Is he waving to someone?"

……

They soon found out who Link was calling.

"Tada, tada..."

Looking in the direction of the gate, a familiar figure appeared in everyone's eyes.

It was still the same formal suit, the same slightly curly short hair, and the same curly mustache.

"That is……"

Kurapika's pupils shrank and he muttered to himself.

"Mr. Examiner?"

The person who appeared in front of everyone was the examiner of the first test - Saci!

"Hello everyone, we meet again."

Saci waved to the stunned candidates on both sides of the road and walked straight to Link without stopping.

I don't know why, but Saci always feels something is weird.

I left, and here I am again...

That’s right, the person Link called was Saci who was originally watching the show!

Originally, Saci was wondering if he was being too suspicious. How did Link know that he was still in the forest and was still paying attention to it?

It was not until he saw Link's mouth move slightly and make the shape of "Saci" that he was completely sure that he was calling him.

Although Sachi couldn't figure out Link's purpose for a moment, he still walked towards him with big strides.

Seeing Sachi coming, Link nodded slightly, then glanced at Menqi and the other two and walked straight back to his table.

This series of actions left all the candidates stunned, and their accumulated anger disappeared a lot.

First, Link walked up and whispered with the two examiners, and then the previous examiner inexplicably returned here?

As everyone was confused, Meng Qi took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"First of all, I want to say sorry!"

"The results of this exam are invalid. Everyone will go to another location to take the second exam!"

"Next, a special airship will be dispatched to take everyone present away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Menqi signaled Saci beside him to notify the pre-prepared airship to come and pick up the candidates.

Now Saci finally understood why Link called him over. It turned out that he was the tool man responsible for calling the airship.

It seems that Mr. Link actually knew that he had accepted the association's mission and was responsible for monitoring whether Meng Qi and others had done anything wrong?

Even the pre-prepared airship was guessed?

Although many guesses emerged in his mind, Saci did not stop his hands and notified the airship to come over.

The candidates present were confused by Meng Qi's words. Why did they suddenly change the venue for the re-examination?

But it's only a temporary discomfort.

Then everyone realized that this was the association's way of remediating the exam.

Feeling the association's sincerity, everyone no longer thought about venting their anger. After all, they were given a chance to start over.

It wasn't long before the airship arrived above the venue, with the Hunter Association logo printed on both sides.

This is an airship belonging to the Review Committee of the Hunter Association.

When the airship landed, the candidates and three examiners boarded it one by one.

……

Halfway up the mountain.

It is famous because there is a huge crack that divides the mountain into two almost completely symmetrical halves.

"The rift in front of you is the spider vulture's nest. All you have to do is get the eggs inside and cook them."

"That is - hard-boiled eggs!"

Menqi stood in front of everyone and introduced the tasks of the new second exam in detail.

That's right!

This is the solution Link gave to Menqi and the others.

It is said that this method was proposed by Link, but in fact, he just told Meng Qi the method in the original book before Meng Qi had a complete conflict with the candidates.

The effect brought by Link is equivalent to replacing the appearance of President Netero in the plot.

Naturally, President Netero had no chance to appear.

With Link's coordination, although they finally arrived at the halfway point of the mountain, it was already the optimal solution at the time.

In order to make up for her mistake, Meng Qi jumped down and picked an egg herself after explaining the precautions.
