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

Link, who was still admiring the sea scenery, suddenly heard Mengqi's cry.

Following the sound, Mengqi was standing in the harbor on the other side, calling out to Link loudly.

Looking closer, I saw several high-end-looking speedboats parked in the harbor.

"Link, long time no see."

Menqi waved with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, it's been a while since we last met."

Link felt a little emotional. He had first met Menqi in the Samok Desert and had proposed the condition of going to the Gourmet Paradise.

It seems that Menqi is still quite efficient.

Speaking of which, Menqi's outfit has changed a lot. Her hair, which was originally braided like a hedgehog, has been let down, making her look much better.

As for the rest of his attire, it seemed to have changed to a more conservative style since the last time they met during the Hunter Exam.

After successfully reuniting with Mengqi, the two boarded the speedboat and headed towards the Gourmet Paradise.

According to Mengqi, the Gourmet Paradise is located deep in this sea area.

That is to say, it is located in the sea area between the ancient Ganyu Kingdom and the Euripian Continent.

But the island where the Gourmet Paradise is located does not appear on the map, so few people can go there.

Gourmet Paradise is like a private high-end place that is rarely accessible to outsiders.

Usually they take the initiative to invite, or they are led by acquaintances.

It is a holy place for countless people who pursue delicious food.

Those at the top are basically gourmet hunters, a few V5 high-level officials, nobles, and extremely outstanding chefs.

It also gathers the best ingredients and delicacies from all six continents!

……

"Link...there's something I want to discuss with you."

Looking at the endless sea, Link was slightly stunned, and suddenly a clear voice came to his ears.

Turning around, I saw Menqi speaking awkwardly, her nervousness evident on her fair face.

The sea breeze blew through the ends of Menqi's hair, blowing her hair loose and gently tucking her hair behind her ears, making her earlobes slightly red.

Seeing Menqi like this, Link felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

But I have to say, this looks a lot more pleasing to the eye.

After a long period of psychological preparation, Mengqi finally plucked up the courage to invite Link to be her gourmet hunting partner.

After some description, Link learned about the tradition of gourmet hunters working in pairs.

This division of labor is quite reasonable, one is responsible for obtaining ingredients and the other is responsible for cooking.

He immediately accepted Menqi's invitation with pleasure.

Getting a chef for free, making a lot of money!

However, Link also vaguely sensed something. Perhaps what Menqi was talking about was more than just a partner...

Menqi, who used to have a bold personality, is now so nervous.

If you were just inviting someone to be a partner, Link would find it hard to believe.

……

With Mengqi's introduction, the speedboat gradually approached the location of the Gourmet Paradise.

"I can already see the outline. It's right in front."

Meng Qi pointed straight ahead, and several islands appeared in front of the two of them.

The Foodie Paradise is built on an archipelago, with a large island in the middle and several small islands next to it.

It forms a shape like stars surrounding the moon.

The surrounding small islands are generally used for growing food, entertaining guests, etc.

The key point is the island in the middle, which is also named "Food Island" and is the core of the foodie paradise.

Food Island is particularly large. Even the other small islands combined are far smaller than it.

It is mainly divided into two areas, the food area and the food area.

……

"Buzz!"

As the speedboat stopped, the two arrived at the port of Food Island, which is a place specially used for ships to dock.

Link followed closely behind Mengqi and stepped onto the Food Island.

Just after taking the first step, the expected gestation bar appeared in Link's mind.

Sure enough, special places like Gourmet Paradise can indeed breed Pokémon.

Just don't know which one it will be?

There are many food-related Pokémon characters.

In terms of ingredients, there's the Onion Duck holding a scallion, Slowpoke with a delicious tail, and a giant Milk Can that produces delicious milk...

From the perspective of delicious food... Link thinks the most suitable ones are Snorlax and Snorlax!

When talking about the love of eating in Pokémon, people usually think of Snorlax and Snorlax.

Before they had taken a few steps, the aroma of delicious food wafted into their noses. It was a complex fragrance.

Because there are so many delicious foods here, many aromas are mixed together.

Link could detect three or four different styles of fragrance at a glance.

From here on, it’s the gourmet area of ​​Food Island!

The food island is roughly divided into the food area on the outside and the food area in the middle.

Strolling along the streets, you'll find food vendors lining both sides of the street.

Link couldn't help but be amazed.

There are giant popcorns as big as basketballs, and the aroma of burnt food wafts out of them.

Just a drop of this concentrated seasoning can infuse your food with the flavor of seafood.

There are fruit juices as colorful as a rainbow, and it is said that you can taste the flavors of many kinds of fruits at the same time with just one sip.

……

Here are gathered the top delicacies from all six continents!

In an instant, Link felt as if he had accidentally entered "The Prisoner of Food", with magical food everywhere.

Before the tasting, Mengqi said she planned to take him to meet the founder of Gourmet Paradise first.

That is - Linnie Odeburu!

Link felt a little strange as to why he was being taken to see Lin Nie.

When asked, Meng Qi hesitated, her eyes kept avoiding, she was a little afraid to look at Link, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Seeing this, Link stopped asking questions. He really wanted to meet this legendary figure anyway.

Lin Nie definitely deserves to be called a legendary figure, especially among gourmet hunters.

Lin Nie had a lot of titles, such as Two-Star Gourmet Hunter, Companion of President Netero on the Dark Continent Journey, Founder of Gourmet Paradise...

Moreover, most of these two-star gourmet hunters are elderly people who don’t care about reputation, just like Jinfulix.

Otherwise it would definitely be at the level of Samsung.

After crossing a street, the two arrived at the largest building in Gourmet Paradise.

This is also the administrative building used to handle various affairs.

Lin Nie's office is on the top floor of this building.

"Dong dong."

"Mother-in-law, I brought the person here."

Menqi knocked on the door twice and spoke softly.

Link didn't know if he was being overly suspicious, but Meng Qi's tone seemed a little nervous.

After saying that, Menqi waited quietly for a few breaths, then slowly opened the door and went in.

Link finally got to meet this legendary figure!

In the bright and spacious room, there was an ordinary desk and an unknown painting on the wall that looked like some kind of grass.

A short old man sat behind the desk.

The old man has golden hair. If you only look at his hair, others would think he is a young man.

But the truth is exactly the opposite.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, and his cheeks on both sides were inexplicably bulging and sagging.

There are two vertical lines on the right side of the face. I wonder what they mean?

Both eyes were extremely pale, as if they had cataracts, and appeared cloudy.

Anyone who sees her will question whether she can really see things.

This is Lin Nie!

Seeing that the appearance was similar to what he remembered, Link was not too surprised.

After all, I have seen Lin Nie's appearance on Blue Star.

If he had to say something, Link would rather sigh that time is merciless.

According to the comics, Lin Nie was quite pretty when she was young, but now she has become like this.

Link felt that this might not only be due to the passage of time, but there might be other factors at play.

Because Link still felt a breath of death from Lin Nie!

An aura similar to that of the Dark Continent!

Name: Linnie Odebreu

Strength: A+ (seriously ill)

Thinking ability:...

Seriously ill?

The comic says that Lin Nie hasn't spoken for five years, which may be related to his illness.

Putting all the information together, Link could probably make a guess.

It is very likely that Lin Nie contracted some strange disease in the Dark Continent!

This is the third heavyweight figure I have met.

The first one is President Netero, and the second one is Maha Zoldyck.

Just as Link was thinking to himself, Lin Nie was also looking at Link.

860's cloudy eyes flashed with surprise.

I didn’t expect that the person Xiao Menqi was looking for was this person?

The strongest host of the Sky Arena - "Legendary" Link!

It was obvious that Lin Nie recognized Link's identity, which was also the norm for most Nen users.

After all, people like Mianying who never go out of the house and don't care about current affairs are only a minority.

For a moment, Lin Nie's eyes were a little complicated and he didn't know what to say.

Originally, she was proud of Meng Qi, but was still worried that the partner Meng Qi found was not good enough and not worthy of her.

Now it seems that I was completely overthinking it.
