Hunter Association's Headquarters.
Inside the tea room.
Netero turned off the TV and stroked his beard thoughtfully.
Beans, standing beside him, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. He looked at the seemingly contemplative Netero, and wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
After a few moments…
Netero lowered his hand and suddenly asked, "There's a lot of work to handle today, right?"
"Y-Yes."
Beans was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted and gave a reply.
"Hoho."
Netero chuckled, then stood up from the tatami, and said with a serious tone: "Then let's get busy."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Beans was completely stunned.
'Chairman was actually...'
'Actively volunteering to handle work?!'
Beans had almost forgotten that Netero had such a competent side.
…
Hunter Association's Headquarters, Vice Chairman's Office.
Pariston, dressed in his signature yellow suit, sat behind his desk, his hands clasped together and resting on his chin, his dark eyes staring at Moses on the computer screen on his desk.
"You're about to become world-famous…"
Pariston murmured with a sly smile, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Calling it 'world-famous' might be an exaggeration…
But from today on, countless Hunters in the world would undoubtedly remember Moses's name.
However, compared to the reputation that is about to come to Moses, what Pariston cares more about is Moses's factional connections in the Hunter Association and the true relationship between Moses and Netero.
Even though Moses had shown no signs of wanting to 'make a name for himself' among the upper echelons of the Hunter Association...
But Pariston doesn't need any basis now and will instinctively regard Moses as a time bomb.
He vaguely felt that—
Moses's existence could bring about significant changes for 'them'.
Kukuroo Mountain, Zoldyck Family's residence.
'I told you, whoever dares to mess with that monster is bound to suffer!'
'Phew, I was so wise at that time. I didn't rush into the Hunter Exam's venue, but decisively chose to give up. Even though I got beaten up afterward, it was worth it!'
'By the way, why did Killua go to Heavens Arena?'
'Oh right, he wants the game qualification for 'Greed Island'. He must be trying to earn money at the arena!'
Milluki stared at the screen, his thoughts racing.
Behind him stood the two family elders, Zeno and Silva.
Silva and Zeno saw Killua's figure appear on the live broadcast.
Zeno didn't react much.
Despite the mess that happened with Illumi some time ago, it is ultimately a good thing that Killua can be on good terms with Moses.
After all, Moses had the formidable Netero behind him...
If someone were to tell Zeno now that Moses was Netero's direct descendant or a deeply trusted disciple, he would have no trouble believing it.
Unlike Zeno's calm demeanor, Silva showed a contemplative expression.
He shares the same opinion as Zeno, thinking that it is a good thing for Killua to be on good terms with Moses.
However, if things continued like this...
Killua might gradually stray further from the 'assassin' profession under Moses's influence.
And that was something Silva was concerned about.
…
Heavens Arena, inside the venue.
Thanks to Moses' mediation, Shizuku finally did not return the 'garbage' to Killua, but gave Killua the guarantee that he could still successfully claim the bounty.
Given Moses's status as a Double-Star Blacklist Hunter and the fact that the entire process being broadcasted live, no related agency would dare to renege on the deal.
After receiving Moses's assurance, Killua and Gon breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to obtain the game qualification for Greed Island, they are in urgent need of funds.
"Why, you two little brats want to play Greed Island too?"
When Biscuit heard Killua and Gon mention Greed Island, she immediately came over with obvious hostility in her tone.
Gon hesitated but nodded awkwardly towards Biscuit.
Killua, with hands resting behind his head, replied nonchalantly: "Too? That means a little pipsqueak you like is interested in Greed Island too, huh?"
"Did you just call me a little pipsqueak?"
Biscuit stared at Killua with a stiff smile.
'Among the two little brats, Ging's son was clearly an Enhancer.'
'On the contrary, this white-haired brat... he had an edge to him, one that give me sense a bit of familiarity.'
Killua sensed a hint of danger and subtly moved behind Moses. Then, he looked at Biscuit and said warily, "What's wrong with calling you a little pipsqueak? Would you prefer I call you an old hag?"
"Oh."
Biscuit took a deep breath, and the smile on her face became even more fake.
The dangerous Aura Killua felt intensified, making his heart race as he shrank further behind Moses.
Seeing Killua's reaction, Biscuit immediately understood where his confidence came from.
"Moses, Sister is very angry now."
She looked at Moses with a cold look on her face.
Moses sighed and gave her a look that said 'go easy on him', before stepping aside, exposing Killua in front of Biscuit.
Biscuit's gaze shifted and she looked at Killua with amusement.
"Mo, Moses..."
Killua looked at Moses with a confused look on his face.
Moses shrugged, giving Killua an 'I can't help you' expression.
Biscuit grinned and cracked her knuckles audibly.
Moses glanced at Killua, who was trembling with fear, and quietly stepped away. He then went deep into his consciousness again and carefully checked the reward given by Perception.
The number of his Nen Exorcism chance is increased by 2, so he now has 3 Nen Exorcism chances, which is quite sufficient.
The levels of the Shu, In, and Gyo are increased by +1 respectively, which significantly enhanced his overall Nen Mastery.
There is also a +15% increase in his Manifested Aura and a +12% increase in Enhancement Affinity Correction...
These are what he lacks most at the moment.
These basic rewards alone can be considered a great harvest.
As for the remaining six rewards...
They are Nen Space Cornerstone, Pain Packer: Revised, Memory Capacity +1, Vow Effect +1, Heart of Tempering +1, Zetsu: Resurgence +1.
The Nen Space Cornerstone is the same type of reward as the Super Speed Cornerstone obtained previously, and is the cornerstone material for developing Nen Space Abilities.
Plus a standard set of Memory Capacity +1 and Vow Effect +1...
Moses immediately thought of his [Shadow Dimension] ability, which was still in its infancy. Perhaps he could invest these ability materials into it and brings some unexpected transformations.
Pain Packer: Revised +1 is Feitan's Nen Ability, but there are some differences. However, in essence, it is still an ability effect of exchanging 'injury' for 'powerful burst'.
The additional Heart of Tempering +1 is a long-lost training buff. Once it is activated, Moses can specify a training goal, and then he will get a 300% training efficiency gain effect within three months.
The final Zetsu: Resurgence is a derivative skill of Zetsu, and is of the same type as Ken: Bone-Plated Armor.
This derivative skill can allow Moses to speed up the recovery of his Potential Aura and the healing of physical injuries when in Zetsu state.
In addition to the ten rewards granted by Perception this time, the Star of Mankind's Shine's Mental Resilience buff has also been increased by 50%, directly breaking through 200% to 236%. (T/N: I don't know why it suddenly become 236% from 135%, so I'll just take the RAW as it is.)
A 50% increase...
This also indirectly reflects how formidable the Phantom Troupe is.
There is also the Path of Legend's stone tablet that was recently reset. Thanks to the live broadcast, two purple beads were condensed in one go, and the third one should be condensed soon...
This was within Moses's expectations.
'I need to find a quiet place to sort things out.'
With such an abundance of rewards, Moses couldn't wait to find a place where he wouldn't be disturbed by anyone, and then carefully plan his future abilities and determine how to maximize the benefits of the Heart of Tempering buff.
