The crisis was resolved.
Lynn had Capone take his men to collect the pile of gold and silver treasures; this was a harvest that could not be underestimated.
Fortunately, Capone had his own internal space, allowing him to store these items inside his body and take them away; if it were anyone else, they would have had to transport them out in batches.
Meanwhile, he walked up to Eugene.
“Uh…”
Eugene swallowed, unable to speak, but the look of shock on his face had already said everything he wanted to say.
The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant; that saying is absolutely correct.
He never would have imagined that exploring an Ice and Snow Labyrinth would lead to so many complications, and that Franklin would actually be able to defeat that monster!
He didn’t know who the real monster was.
At the very least, Eugene felt that Franklin was no better than Suluk.
The proficient use of Nen Bullet, the diverse Ice Make Magic, and the space ability to teleport others out of thin air…
Just how many Nen Ability types did he have?
Without wasting any words, Lynn sent Eugene to see his sister with a single Finger Pistol; this time, no card dropped.
Afterward, he did a quick check to confirm that Magio and the others were truly dead, then examined the new cards he had harvested today.
There were three in total; Magio contributed one, and Suluk contributed two.
[Name: Clone Puppet]
[Rank: B]
[Type: Item Card]
[Background: Doraemon]
[Description: After inserting a strand of hair and infusing it with Nen, it generates a Clone identical to the original. The Clone can use the original’s abilities, and its strength is equal to the original at the time of Nen infusion, not exceeding Rank A. However, the Clone requires control by the original and can be controlled from a distance.]
This was the card dropped by Magio, and its effect fit his characteristics well; it was an item that could create Clones.
[Clone Puppet] was not bad; the generated Clone had the same strength as his current self and could use the same abilities.
Assuming he used it now, he could generate an additional Rank B- combat force; this Clone could independently use [Six Powers] and [Ice Make Magic].
But it had a drawback: its control was somewhat difficult.
Without the full concentration of the original, it could only perform simple actions; one had to be fully focused for it to act like a real person.
…
[Name: Substitute Straw Doll]
[Rank: B+]
[Type: Ability Card]
[Background: One Piece]
[Description: The ability of one of the Supernovas, the Straw-Straw Fruit user Hawkins. It allows the creation of a straw doll Substitute by collecting another person’s blood. The person whose blood was collected can take any form of fatal attack for the original body. If the former dies due to an accident halfway, the straw doll becomes ineffective and must be replenished. Current number that can be created: 2]
Oh?
He got a good pull!
Finally, he had received a life-saving ability!
What is the most feared thing in the Hunter world?
A first-encounter kill!
Frontal combat is certainly terrifying, but hidden daggers in the dark are even harder to guard against.
Nen Ability types are strange and impossible to guard against.
Without knowing the information about their abilities, getting killed upon the first encounter is not strange at all, especially with [Calamity] types like Suluk.
If he hadn’t possessed a certain level of strength himself, enabling him to gradually figure out Suluk’s weaknesses and even counter them, he probably would have died long ago.
Therefore, a life-saving ability like [Substitute Straw Doll] appeared even more precious.
Who doesn’t value their own life?
This ability effectively gave him two extra lives compared to others.
Even in frontal combat, this was a huge advantage.
There were drawbacks, mainly three.
First, the person providing the blood must be kept under close watch.
If they die, his straw doll Substitute becomes ineffective.
This is similar to the requirement for Chrollo to steal others’ Nen Ability; Chrollo’s [Bandits Secret] also requires the victim to be alive.
For him, this wasn’t a problem; he just needed to have Capone arrange it.
Just pick a few enemies to capture without killing them, and keep them under strict watch every day…
This was one of the benefits of having subordinates and power.
Second, the straw doll can only absorb fatal damage and will not refresh his own state.
Assuming he is killed instantly while at full health, he would naturally still be in a perfect state.
But if he is in a low-health state after a grueling battle, the straw doll can only help him absorb one instance of lethal damage.
Third, the quantity is a bit low; there are only two straw dolls.
However, this isn’t a big problem; having two chances is already quite good.
Overall, Lynn was very satisfied with this ability.
In the rapidly changing battles of the Hunter world, having two extra chances to probe at the cost of a life is a huge advantage.
This ability also fits the characteristics of [Calamity] like Suluk very well.
[Name: Need Special Gourmet Food]
[Rank: B]
[Type: Trading Card]
[Background: toriko] The source of this chapter is g.com.
[Description: Gourmet Hunter Toriko wants to eat special gourmet food. If you can satisfy him, he will share the Gala Gator he just hunted, or even enter into a long-term trade.]
[Reward: Gala Gator Meat × 1]
[Remaining Time: 23 hours 59 minutes 36 seconds]
It was actually a trading card from toriko.
Lynn was no stranger to the anime [toriko]; as the name suggests, this work is about gourmet food.
It is filled with all kinds of imaginative foods, such as trees that grow roast meat, lions whose tears are cola, broccoli hundreds of meters tall…
These gourmet foods not only have benefits but often have special effects; enhancing strength is just one of the most basic effects.
He didn’t know how much of an effect it would have if eaten without Gourmet Cells.
Similarly, the combat power in this work is very high, with a unified Capture Level for ingredients, which is another way of classifying strength.
A Capture Level of 1 means that at least ten fully armed soldiers are needed to successfully capture the ingredient.
Above Level 3, large armed forces like tanks must be deployed.
By the mid-to-Late Stages, the combat power in this work becomes completely broken, with monsters of hundreds or thousands of levels everywhere.
In his memory, the Gala Gator is a creature with a Capture Level of 8.
Its meat must be delicious to eat, and Lynn naturally didn’t want to miss out, but…
there was too much gourmet food in Toriko’s world; what delicious food hadn’t he eaten?
It was very difficult for him to find food in the Six Continents that could impress the other party.
The Dark Continent was an exception, but he had no chance to go there right now.
The cooldown is one day; should he go and prepare some conventional gourmet food to submit?
Lynn frowned, feeling that this was not appropriate.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at the clearing where the fire was gradually dying down.
An idea sprouted in his mind.
What would happen if he submitted the burned-to-death Suluk?
Toriko wanted ingredients that were special enough; perhaps Suluk, as a [Calamity], had a chance to satisfy this, or at least had a better chance than ordinary gourmet food!
Moreover, submitting him would help to root out the problem, avoiding the possibility that Suluk wasn’t completely dead and might make a comeback later.
Thinking of this, Lynn quickly submitted Suluk’s charred remains.
Before long, the card emitted a white light, and after lines of text appeared, it disappeared.
[Transaction Successful]
[Satisfaction: B]
[Client Evaluation: Hahaha, interesting grilled vine; it has a unique flavor, though the heat was a bit overdone. But I’m still very satisfied. Here is the meat for you; I hope you will give me more interesting ingredients in the future.]
[Reward: Gala Gator Meat (B-), Long-term Gourmet Order (A)]
