Chapter 150 Invitation
"Book." A puff of smoke appeared and then dissipated, and the card book fell into my hand.
"Use the card [X-ray vision]." He casually pulled out a card.
Number 1002, difficulty level F, card amount 150, can see all the cards in any player's designated pocket.
The cards in his hand disappeared, but a message appeared on the book, specifying that one of the three bomb-wielding demons had a specific pocket.
The opponent currently has 90 cards in their designated pocket.
I'm still ten cards away from collecting one hundred.
The harvest season is almost here.
Someone else has requested to communicate with you.
The card collecting book emits a reminder sound.
"The purpose of the communication card... I agree to the request." Su Wu selected "agree".
The voices of Gon and Killua immediately came from the card collection book.
"Wow! We actually made contact! ...Where are you?" First came Gon's surprised voice, then Killua's calm voice.
"Watching the show on the Initial Plains." Su Wu yawned. "Something wrong?"
"...Have you heard about...the bomb monster?" Xiao Jie's voice came through.
Hmm? They heard about it too? That guy in the green shirt wouldn't be going around telling players this, would he...?
"I've heard about it," Su Wu replied simply and decisively.
Not only had he heard about it, he was already watching the spectacle, itching to harvest the thriving韭菜 (a metaphor for exploited investors).
"Our training is almost over. What are your thoughts on Binonut?" Xiao Jie asked hesitantly, glancing at Binonut who was trembling beside him.
He had originally intended to let the other person go, but... Binonut said, "If I leave, that guy will definitely come after me."
He kept saying things like, "The bounty hunter will definitely spare my bounty," and refused to leave, following them for a long time.
There was nothing he could do but ask the person in charge when he contacted them.
If Hill doesn't agree to let them go... well, there's nothing we can do about it.
After all, Hill's opinion is more important.
Binonut? That guy's still alive.
"I don't have any particular thoughts, whatever you want," Su Wu replied uninterestedly.
"If I were to encounter this in real life, I'd be ready to exchange his corpse for the bounty."
A boy's indifferent voice came from the card collecting book.
Binonut felt a chill run down his spine and immediately decided to turn himself in.
Turn yourself in immediately after leaving the game! Go to jail!
"Did you hear that? You can go now," Xiao Jie said to Binonut.
Although the other party was a blacklisted hunter, a wanted criminal, and had even ambushed them, trying to kill them, well... they didn't succeed, did they? They even trained with them.
So it's okay to let them leave, right?
"And also, there's this guy named Kaz'thul, the one who tried to steal our cards and got his hand chopped off by you, he's contacted us too..." Gon continued.
"...What is the purpose?" Su Wu asked directly.
"Because Bomberman and his gang are collecting cards too fast, they're about to clear the game. In order to stop Bomberman from clearing the game, Kazusul and his gang decided to team up with some other teams to preemptively collect the cards that Bomberman hasn't gotten yet..." Killua explained clearly.
"I see..." Su Wu looked at the bomb monster below, who had killed a wave of players, grabbed the cards, and run away, and pondered for a moment.
By the time the Bomber Demon collects all 100 cards, it will be too late to steal them; the other player will have already completed the game.
However, if they monopolize certain cards, the Bomber will be unable to clear the level due to the lack of those cards. At this point, all he needs to do is steal the Bomber's cards...
He will be able to pass the level.
Hmm, not bad, very good.
"Sure, join them!" The boy's voice carried a hint of delight.
"Are you coming with us? You'll definitely come with us!" Xiao Jie asked enthusiastically.
"Of course, I'll be there right away," Su Wu replied readily, and then ended the call.
"Use [Communication]." He took out a communication card.
Card number 1040, difficulty level F, card value 200, can contact players encountered in the game.
As the communication card disappeared from his hand, a row of names appeared on the card collection book.
Some are gray, most are completely unfamiliar, and a few are somewhat recognizable.
I remember it because I saw the same name on the wanted list.
One of the names was very... conspicuous.
Kuroro Lucilfer.
Huh? Why is that person's name here?
Out of curiosity, I wanted to poke it and try it out.
Thinking this, Su Wu actually poked it.
[Select contact person: Chrollo Lucilfer.]
"Hmm, who is it?"
Upon hearing the slightly thin and trembling voice, Su Wu immediately recognized the other party and promptly ended the communication.
Oh, it's Hisoka with the name Chrollo.
What was their purpose in doing this? Come to think of it, Spider and his crew also stole a game console…
Is Hisoka trying to send a message to the spider?
Ah, I'm a little curious about how the plot has developed, but that's all.
Let's see after we finish the game.
"Use [Again]..."
Number 1009, Difficulty G, Card Value 380, allows the user to reach any designated location.
……
In a secluded valley.
A dozen or so people gathered together, sitting in several small groups.
Kaz'sur stood in front of the crowd, speaking like an orator about his plans.
"That's it. In order to prevent the bomb monster from clearing the level, we must work together..."
He used this method to create a sense of tension among the crowd, making them accept the idea of joining forces.
"I don't mean to object, but... what can those three brats do?" Suddenly, a woman pointed to three figures to the side.
Killua, Gon, Bisky.
None of them looked older than fifteen.
Maro and Sora sat next to each other, some distance away from the three of them.
"They..." Kaz'sur was about to say something when suddenly a white light descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
They were familiar with this scene; someone had used cards to come to their side.
As the white light faded, a figure appeared before everyone.
"Hey, everyone's here. I'm not late, am I?" The white-haired, tattooed boy lazily scratched the back of his head as he spoke, without even glancing at the people around him, and walked straight toward the white tiger lying to the side.
"What were you just saying? Keep talking." He leaned against the white tiger's back, pressed its head down with one hand, crossed his legs, and spoke casually, as if giving an order.
"You're finally here," Killua remarked.
This guy seems to have no idea what "immediately" and "on time" mean.
The atmosphere in the valley became somewhat strange from the moment the boy appeared. Everyone subconsciously became wary and alert, as if he were the bomb monster they were supposed to be dealing with.
Like an animal's instinctive reaction when encountering danger, they stopped speaking.
It seems like just yesterday that Kaz's hand was chopped off by the other party, even though the other party has already healed it.
"Hey, didn't you say we're of no use? We know about the Bomber's abilities, what are you going to offer in exchange?" Killua asked the woman.
"...A Grade A card." The woman spoke after a moment's thought.
"No, two SS-rank cards." Killua shook his index finger.
The woman took longer to consider this time, but ultimately agreed to Killua's conditions.
