Chapter 122: Comprehensive Anime Spirits: Starting from Hunter x Hunter Chapter 53

Luo Ge also deliberately observed Gengar's reaction.

Perhaps last night's talk was very effective, for this time Gengar showed no negative emotions—his eyes brimmed with determination.

Koffing had previously lagged behind it, but in an instant it surpassed it; naturally, there was a psychological gap.

But it no longer slumped—instead, it turned that emotion into motivation, pushing itself harder forward!

It firmly believed that one day it would become Luo Ge's ace.

Until then, all it had to do was work harder, and even harder still.

"Bui?"

Eevee, nestled in Maki's arms, tilted its head, its eyes filled with curiosity—it didn't understand why Gengar looked so battle-ready.

"Jie jie."

Gengar pulled down its eyelid with its claw, made a grimace at Eevee, its pale eyes bulging out, trying to scare it.

The great mysterious Shadow Lord would never reveal his plans to you~

"Bui bui."

Eevee twitched its ears, its eyes smiling into crescents, thinking Gengar was just playing with it—completely unscared.

Gengar puffed out its cheeks, blowing them full, then floated over beside Monferno, unwilling to stay near Eevee.

Thump thump!

Bisji arrived beside the Death Coffin and tapped its lid with her finger, producing two hollow, resonant sounds.

"So that's how it is—it's hollow inside."

She had wondered if there might be a corpse inside.

Bisji turned her gaze to the Death Coffin's appearance, crossed her arms, and nodded: "But after evolution, it's truly different—much more majestic now."

"Before, it was just an old mask hanging on its body; now, it's got a gleaming golden, ornate coffin."

"Someone who didn't know might even think it's a king's coffin."

"Uhh~"

The Death Coffin shook its body, acknowledging that Bisji was right—it had indeed become grander.

Luo Ge took this opportunity to use his Nen ability today.

"Obtained item: 【Muzi Fruit】 twenty-three."

"Obtained item: 【Wet Wet Fertilizer】 eight."

"Obtained item: 【Ultra Ball】 three."

"Obtained ability: 【Float】."

"Obtained move: 【Taunt】."

Luo Ge automatically skipped the first two fruits and fertilizer, looking from the third onward.

【Ultra Ball】: Capture probability is double that of a standard Red and White Ball.

Ability 【Float】: Allows it to hover in midair, effectively granting flight and immunity to ground-based attacks.

The final move, 【Taunt】, is also excellent.

【Taunt】: Forces the opponent into a rage state, compelling them to use only attacking moves against the user.

In games, this is a divine technique to prevent opponents from using status-changing moves.

In reality, the effect is no worse—it causes the opponent to lose some rationality, fixating solely on defeating the user and neglecting strategy.

……

Half a month later,

"Hold on a little longer—you're almost there."

Bisji sat on the sofa, holding the latest issue of the Handsome Men Magazine, muttering to herself.

Before her, Zhu Di wore her rare training robe, performing push-ups on the floor.

With her was Rose, Zhu Di's secretary.

As Luo Ge's plan progressed, Zhu Di naturally needed to learn 【Nen】; Rose was along for the ride.

At first, Luo Ge didn't know whether the two had good or poor talent, thinking he could raise their potential somewhat with energy cubes and other items.

Even if they were bad, they could still reach the basics.

But after training them for a week, Bisji discovered their talent wasn't poor—Zhu Di's talent was nearly on par with Maki and the others.

Rose was slightly weaker, but still a promising prospect.

So as long as they trained steadily and used Luo Ge's items, their future achievements wouldn't be low.

After all, Luo Ge planned to cultivate a Nen-capable faction, and Zhu Di, as one of its leaders, must become a Nen user.

Both Zhu Di and Rose came from the underworld—they had some foundation—but Bisji still felt their physical conditioning wasn't adequate.

So recently, she had them undergo physical training, just as Luo Ge and the others had once done.

Moments later, Bisji set down the magazine and said: "That's enough. Rest."

She hadn't taken them as disciples—she was merely fulfilling Luo Ge's request by training them appropriately.

So she hadn't held them to disciple standards.

Upon hearing this, Rose let out a huge sigh of relief.

She collapsed like a limp fish, sprawled on the floor, unwilling to even roll over.

Zhu Di, however, acted as if she hadn't heard—clenching her teeth, enduring her exhaustion, and continuing her push-ups.

Fine beads of sweat, pulled by gravity, dampened her hair strands; golden locks clung to her flushed cheeks, her emerald eyes blazing with resolve.

【Impressive determination】

A flash of sharp light passed through Bisji's eyes—she had always held a favorable view of this girl.

Both her temperament and talent are quite good; perhaps she could take on another disciple?

However, considering Zhu Di still has to handle matters for Luo Ge's faction and cannot accompany them, Bisiji suppressed this thought.

It has only just begun; there is no need to rush.

Occasional visits to teach for a while actually already count as master and disciple.

"Huff... huff..."

Zhu Di panted heavily, her eyes becoming hazy, yet she persisted, unwilling to slacken.

She now completely understands the reason for Luo Ge's great transformation back then.

Because Luo Ge underwent an extraordinary and arduous trial!

Previously, she only knew Luo Ge's training was very hard.

But after experiencing it personally, she realized that the simple words "hard" and "tiring" could not fully summarize it.

It was a process of torment.

But Luo Ge, and even Machi and Shizuku, managed to persevere through it.

Then she cannot fall behind!

In the next moment, Zhu Di loosened her grip with both hands, collapsed completely onto the ground, and her consciousness sank into unconsciousness.

She had achieved the same effect as when Luo Ge and the others trained back then.

Bisiji came to the two of them, especially praising Zhu Di's performance.

Outside the door,

Machi and Shizuku were watching Zhu Di's condition through the crack in the door, both maintaining silence.

A few breaths later, Shizuku whispered softly, "Zhu Di is also working very hard; she possesses considerable determination."

Machi's eyelids twitched, her expression unchanged as she said, "So what? She can't beat me."

Shizuku shook her head, her deep eyes staring directly at Machi, as if she could see through Machi's inner thoughts.

"I didn't mean that."

"What I mean is that a person with such perseverance, once they set their sights on a goal, will not easily let go."

Machi's eyelids twitched even more violently; a trace of panic appeared on her cold face, and she quickly changed the subject, saying:

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Why are you two peeking again?"

Luo Ge scratched his head; the original text didn't mention that these two loved to peek.

Is this the butterfly effect?

Shizuku pointed at Luo Ge and said, "Look, the target has arrived."

Luo Ge was full of question marks.

"What target?"

Machi immediately restored her ice-cold face, pretending as if nothing had happened, and said calmly, "Nothing."

No sooner had the words left her lips than Machi grabbed Shizuku and walked quickly towards the back, wanting to leave before Luo Ge could speak.

"Bu-yi?"

The Eevee on Luo Ge's shoulder showed a look of confusion, not understanding why the two were in such a hurry to leave.

Luo Ge shook his head, said nothing more, pushed open the door and went straight in; he wanted to see how Zhu Di was doing.

Half an hour later,

Zhu Di's face moved slightly, then her eyes slowly opened, and she found herself lying on a bed.

Just as before, after being treated, or rather massaged, by Bisiji, her entire body was no longer sore and unbearable.

"Come on, eat some Energy Cubes; they can help restore your stamina faster."

Luo Ge, who had been waiting for a long time, took out the Energy Cubes and let Zhu Di replenish her stamina properly.

Casually eating the Energy Cube, Zhu Di returned a smile and said slowly, "Truly excellent candy."

"I think we could try mass-producing Energy Cubes in the future."

Luo Ge thought for a moment; if Energy Cubes could be mass-produced, that would naturally be good.

But unlike fruit juice, the production of Energy Cubes requires the 【Berry Blender】.

If mass production is desired, the machine problem must be solved first; he felt that making the 【Berry Blender】 should not be difficult.

"Let's get the fruit juice ready first; that can be considered first." Luo Ge thought this idea was also good.

"How is the factory going over there now?"

After Zhu Di's introduction, Luo Ge finally learned that things had gone surprisingly smoothly.

First, the 【Ara】 family officially changed its name, becoming the 【Goro】 family, or rather, Goro Company.

As for why this name was chosen, only a few people knew the reason behind it.

The original gang operations were only partially retained; most were sold off to be used for the company's future development.

The original gang members were not abandoned; some managed the remaining businesses, while others entered the Anbaobu Sect to work.

The so-called Anbaobu Sect can be understood as thugs, responsible for guarding places like the 【Berry Orchard】 and the 【Processing Factory】.

Over the past half month, thanks to the 【Psyduck Water Bottle】 and various fertilizers, the first batch of fruit trees has borne fruit.

At the same time, the relevant factories have already been acquired; from collection, production, and processing to sales, the entire series is approaching maturity.

Next is the time for promotion.

Since the raw materials cost almost nothing, with the main expenses in other processes, a lot was saved.

Therefore, Zhu Di plans to spend more money on promotion, striving to make the name 【Goro Brand Fruit Juice】 spread across the Six Continents.
