Although collectively known as the “Seven Treasures of the World,” there is a hierarchy among them; after all, scarcity increases value.
The lowest Rank naturally includes items like Scarlet Eyes and Crystal Feather Bones.
Although small in number, ever since the Kurta Clan was wiped out, there have been hundreds of pairs of Scarlet Eyes available for trade, and the bird species belonging to the Crystal Feather Bones still has two hundred individuals surviving in the world.
Next are minerals with extremely rare stocks, such as Water Glaze and liquid titanium ore, which have appeared only a handful of times in history.
Either one has to get lucky and discover them in deep, dangerous mountains where few people tread, or find them in ancient ruins that haven’t been found for hundreds of years despite searching for clues…
Otherwise, they are found in the villas of V5 executives~
Finally, there is the White Fire, which almost no one can collect.
White Fire is a type of fish that lives in the deep seas of the poles.
This fish is very difficult to catch, hard to raise, and its carcass will rot after death.
It is like natural gas, combustible all over, and can produce beautiful white flames while alive.
Only a very small number of people can see that ultimate “white” in the sea, and even if they are lucky enough to salvage it, the White Fire will die before long; it is a fleeting beauty.
It is evident that the liquid titanium crown is valuable, but Lynn did not intend to sell it.
Such a good thing is hard for others to even catch a glimpse of in their lifetime, so now that he has finally obtained it, he naturally wants to keep it and take it out from time to time to appreciate it himself.
As for the other two items, although they are far inferior to the crown, they are also antiques with considerable collection value, so he had no plans to sell them for the time being either.
Selling the scraps is enough, and the money earned will be given to Capone for operations.
Of course, there is another reason why these three items are not for sale.
Lynn’s gaze was sharp, his eyes covered with pure Nen.
He saw that the three antiques, including the crown, were all attached with eerie black-purple gas, firmly attached like maggots on bones.
That was a very strange gas; just looking at it made one subconsciously disgusted and involuntarily want to stay away from them.
The technical term among Nen Users is [Death Nen]!
Death Nen is Nen after death.
It is generally formed when a person’s will in some aspect is too strong after death, such as wanting revenge, or having something left undone…
From then on, the originally peaceful and normal Nen will blacken, becoming aggressive and invasive.
Lynn’s deepest impression of Death Nen was the duel between Hisoka and Chrollo in the Heavens Arena from the original work.
In the manga, Chrollo used his Nen Ability to create a large number of human flesh bombs during the match.
A miraculous thing happened after Chrollo thought Hisoka was dead, and even the corpse had been carried away by the staff.
A burst of Death Nen performed CPR on Hisoka’s heart, and in the end, it actually brought him back to life.
It turned out that Hisoka had left a portion of Nen on his heart before he died, and used his strong will to drive the Death Nen to perform CPR when he was near death.
Seeing this at the time, he couldn’t help but sigh at the great imagination of Togashi, that he could actually save him back like this.
In other words, Death Nen can also be understood as a kind of negative ability, relative to ordinary Nen, which even Nen Users are reluctant to touch because it is too dangerous.
And coincidentally, antiques are the type of items with the highest probability of having Death Nen, and the three items in front of him are no exception.
If he couldn’t remove the Death Nen on them, it wouldn’t be convenient for him to touch them directly, and he might even have to lock them up.
Just as he was pondering silently, a movement suddenly came from his mind.
Lynn immediately took out a card, the light faded, and in its place was a spirit egg about the size of a human head.
After more than a month, this spirit egg was finally about to hatch!
According to the introduction of the spirit egg, there is a Ghost-type Pokémon inside, and he doesn’t know which one it will be specifically?
As the spirit egg shook, multiple figures flashed through Lynn’s mind.
About half a minute later, the top of the eggshell shattered, and a mass of purple-black gas floated out, which looked as eerie as Death Nen at first glance.
“Kekekeke~”
On the surface of the irregular purple-black mist, a pale round ghost face emerged, with a pair of bulging white eyeballs on the big face, and a long scarlet tongue sticking out.
It was making faces at Lynn~
It turned out to be…
Gastly?
Lynn blinked, looking at this Pokémon making faces at him to show closeness, a sense of familiarity welled up.
He was no stranger to the Pokémon Gastly, especially Gastly’s final evolution, Gengar, whose popularity is also in the first tier among many Pokémon.
[Name: Gastly]
[Rank: C-]
[Type: Character Card]
[Background: Pokémon]
[Introduction: It is said to be a Pokémon that became such because resentment was lodged in the gas emitted from a graveyard. Its whole body is Toxic, and because it has no physical entity, Gastly is immune to conventional physical attacks and possesses the ability to devour dark energy to strengthen itself.]
Gastly is good.
Not only is it popular, but it is also very practical, especially the final evolution, Gengar.
Gengar is famous for its many status Moves.
You have to know that unlike games, multiple negative effects can exist at the same time in reality.
Will-O-Wisp, Toxic, Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray—before starting a fight, apply a series of debuffs to the enemy.
In addition, Gengar can pass through solid objects at will and hide in the shadows of all things.
Even if he doesn’t notice the danger, Gengar can still use Moves like [Protect] to Protect him.
At the same time, Gengar can also swallow things, store them in its stomach, and use it as a warehouse.
In the future, he won’t need to carry things when he goes out; just summon Gengar when needed, which is quite convenient.
“Kekeke~”
Gastly’s Growl brought Lynn back to his senses.
He saw Gastly flying in circles on the coffee table, with longing in its voice.
Wait?
What is the crystalline liquid at the corner of Gastly’s mouth?
Is it drooling?
Lynn widened his eyes and confirmed repeatedly: “Are you saying you want to eat the Death Nen on these antiques?”
“Kekeke!” Gastly nodded hurriedly.
In its eyes, this Death Nen is simply the most delicious delicacy.
That’s right, the panel introduction also mentioned that Gastly will eat dark energy to grow…
Lynn paused and let Gastly enjoy itself.
Having received permission, Gastly happily crawled onto them and began to devour the Death Nen in large mouthfuls, with the black-purple gas flowing into its mouth strand by strand.
The Death Nen was indeed decreasing!
In that case…
relying on Gastly, could he moonlight as a Nen Exorcist?
In the Hunter x Hunter world, although the number of Nen Users is much smaller than ordinary people, there are still some.
Nen Exorcists are truly a rare species with high status.
Throughout the anime, there were only three Nen Exorcists mentioned!
The first was the black guy who appeared on Greed Island to remove Nen for Chrollo.
The second was the rabbit-type ant called “Hina” in the Chimera Ants.
The last one was the middle-aged female Nen Exorcist working in the Hunter Association.
Such rare talents as Nen Exorcists are popular everywhere.
Although Gastly can only remove Death Nen for now, it is enough to be called a [Nen Exorcist].
