He was a death row inmate caught here for crimes of robbery, murder, and aggravated murder. When it came to women, he certainly wouldn't resist, and in fact, he welcomed it.
Leroute easily extracted information from Bopobo.
"So, it's a power called Nen..."
Firmly memorizing the name of this power, Leroute eagerly continued to ask:
"And then? How can I obtain this power?"
"To obtain this power..."
Bopobo poured himself a glass of wine and didn't continue speaking. Instead, he chuckled, clearly having some scheme in mind.
Seeing Bopobo's malicious gaze, Leroute knew exactly what he was thinking.
Just as she was about to agree, intending to trade for more information—
Bang!!
A loud noise came from outside the bar.
Then, a dodgeball wrapped in Nen power pierced through the wall, continuing its trajectory and smashing straight into Bopobo's face.
The explosive force shattered Bopobo's head into pieces.
Blood splattered, spraying all over Leroute's face.
Leroute stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the scene before her.
The warmth and stickiness on her face, along with the metallic scent in the air, all told her that what just happened was real.
"No next time?"
Razor's gentle voice came from the direction of the doorway behind her.
"If you casually inquire about Nen again, your end will be the same as Bopobo's."
With that, the drunkenness of the other pirates in the tavern was completely scared away.
They all broke into a cold sweat and fled the tavern one after another, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
From that moment on, Leroute was also shunned and kept at a distance by the pirates.
This incident left an indelible shadow in Leroute's heart.
Since then, she realized that Razor was definitely not as harmless as he appeared.
He was, in fact, a cold-blooded and terrifying man.
After this incident, Leroute became much more cautious, but she was still determined to connect with Razor and gain knowledge about Nen.
However, after being repeatedly taught lessons by Morin and Razor, she became much more careful. Leroute, of course, didn't know that because of her, Razor was envied by Dwun and List. Even if she knew, it wouldn't matter.
There was a vast and unimaginable gap between Nen users and non-Nen users, a boundary difficult to cross unless under special circumstances.
Meanwhile, Razor was preparing for the arrival of Gon and the others.
On the other side, at the starting prairie, Gon and Killua were bidding farewell to Feitan and Phinks.
That's right, they were saying goodbye.
Having witnessed the strength of Phinks and Feitan, Gon and Killua were deeply motivated.
They planned to train and become stronger while collecting cards during the game, maintaining a different pace from Feitan and Phinks.
To avoid holding Phinks and the others back, they chose to part ways voluntarily.
Other than Phinks feeling a bit regretful, there wasn't much more to say.
The relationship between the four was always more of a chance encounter.
Later, due to Morin, they became a bit closer.
After Gon and Killua left—
"What should we do next?"
Phinks looked at Feitan, "Continue playing the game?"
"Become slaves?"
Feitan glanced at the curly-haired man at his feet, who was barely alive and almost entirely covered in injuries.
With a flick of his wrist, a sharp blade ended the man's suffering, freeing him from his tortured state.
"Having gathered so much useful information, the game's level of interest has exceeded my expectations.
"I'm becoming more and more interested in this game."
The curly-haired man conceded defeat, turning into a meteor heading back to the outside world.
Feitan's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly contemplating something.
"Is that so?"
Phinks nodded indifferently, "We don't have anything else to do anyway, and this place can kill time."
Although he wasn't particularly interested in the game, the prospect of hunting players here seemed intriguing enough.
Since Feitan was willing to continue playing, Phinks naturally would stick by him.
"Let's go. The nearest city from here seems to be the City of Bounties, Andochiba? What a mouthful of a name."
"The ones monitoring us should be there, and it's not just one or two."
---
"They must have quite a few decent cards too, right? If they have the 'Specified Pocket' card, that would be even better."
"They probably do, right? They've been playing here for so long, they must have collected some."
"That fool we just killed, even though he wasn't very strong, still had a few specified cards on him."
"Let's hope that the group monitoring us has the cards we want... and not just duplicates of what that fool collected."
"That's hard to say. What if all they've gathered are these easily collected specified cards?"
The two of them chatted back and forth as they walked towards the city of Andochiba.
Meanwhile, in a certain palace outside the game world.
This was Battera's private property, where players who passed the Nen screening logged into the game.
The first to enter the game was a cute little girl with green eyes and a red princess dress, reminiscent of someone Ging might know.
While many small details changed, the main gears of fate continued to turn, reaching a predetermined point.
One by one, the players entered the game, and soon, the computer screens displayed "In Game."
The curtain for the adventure game Greed Island officially opened!
In the City of Bounties, Andochiba, the city was plastered with bounty posters everywhere.
By accepting bounties, players could earn Gings, various items, and potentially specified cards. Every month, there was a monthly competition.
In the original version, Gon and Killua participated in the Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament in September here and won the "Sword of Truth." Later, they participated again to obtain the "Paladin's Necklace."
This place was designed to help new players understand the game rules, comprehend the use of cards, and provide them with game currency and items for survival in the game.
Moreover, there was a chance for players to obtain specified cards and enjoy the real fun of the game.
In essence, Andochiba was a true beginner's village to familiarize players with the game.
Upon entering the game city, Gon and Killua were amazed by the various bounty tasks posted on the streets.
"All of these come with prizes!" Gon and Killua approached a bulletin board filled with bounty notices.
"And there are so many bounties!" Killua marveled.
After parting ways with Phinks and Feitan, they came to this city first.
There was no choice, as it was the only initial city after the starting point.
Moreover, there were quite a few players here, and they could feel someone monitoring them.
If possible, Gon and Killua wanted to inquire about which places in the game were more suitable for training and honing their skills.
Given that they could detect the surveillance from such a distance, the group monitoring them wasn't that formidable.
However, to better understand the city's layout and obtain some cards to see their effects, Gon and Killua found a restaurant and started the challenge of finishing a giant plate of spaghetti within thirty minutes.
If they succeeded, they would receive a card named "Galuga Beat."
"Galuga Beat," numbered 1217, with a difficulty and card limit of F-150.
Description: One of the island's three rare delicacies, its delicate taste is unimaginable from its appearance. It's said that eating the female fish's eggs can grant longevity. Boiled or grilled, the taste is even better.
"One of the three rare delicacies, just from its appearance... I really can't imagine its delicate taste."
Killua held the card, staring at the so-called delicacy resembling fish bones, finding it absurd.
But when he looked up and saw the cat-faced owner who handed him the card, swaying his cat tail, he somewhat understood.
For cats, fish is indeed one of the most delicious foods.
"From the name, I thought it was some kind of weapon."
Killua casually put the card away. "So, this is just a completely useless card item?"
As they were about to leave, the cat owner blocked their way.
"Gentlemen, the giant spaghetti is free, but you ordered three ice cream sodas, totaling one thousand and twenty Jenny."
"Alright, here's ten thousand Jenny."
Killua took out some paper money.
"What's this?"
The owner was puzzled.
"On the island, money can only be used via cards. Paper money is just waste paper here!"
The cat owner casually took out a money card. "Please pay with a card!"
He extended his cat paw towards Killua.
Perhaps his existence was to teach the players the correct way to use money on this island.
Killua: "..."
Gon: "..."
The two exchanged a glance.
The cat owner silently retracted his paw, then picked up the phone:
"Hello, police? Someone's dining and dashing here!"
Gon and Killua: "Please wait!!!"
