"Skill acquired: 【Railgun】."

【Pokémon Egg】: An egg capable of hatching an unknown Pokémon; it appears some time remains before hatching.

【Pokémon Egg Incubator】: Placing a Pokémon Egg inside accelerates its hatching speed while providing protection.

【Metal Coat】: When carried, the power of Steel-type moves increases by 20%; certain Pokémon can use it to evolve.

【Railgun】: A potent Electric-type move with low accuracy, but if it hits the enemy, paralysis is guaranteed.

A Pokémon Egg?!

And an incubator too?

Luo Ge's breath hitched as he discovered something unexpected.

Since arriving in this world two or three years ago, he had thought he knew his Nen abilities well enough.

Now it seemed he still hadn't fully grasped them?

Previously, items appearing from Nen abilities followed a pattern, emerging from the three categories of 【Items】, 【Skills】, and 【Traits】.

Their appearance probabilities decreased in that order, with Items being the most numerous and Traits the least.

Even so, he had never before obtained something like a Pokémon Egg from the 【Items】 category.

Strictly speaking, a Pokémon Egg counts as a living creature, whereas all items obtained beforehand were inanimate.

Under the shock of the 【Pokémon Egg】, Luo Ge felt little about the incubator.

Now he was far more curious about what Pokémon this egg would hatch.

Would it be a legendary Pokémon?

Though the likelihood seemed slim, Luo Ge still held expectations for this Pokémon Egg.

After all, regardless of how you look at it, this was the first Pokémon Egg he had ever obtained; whatever Pokémon appeared, he would cherish it.

While Luo Ge stood dazed, the lion-tigers' footsteps had already approached the first city.

Andorica, known as the 【City of Bounties】.

Standing on the grasslands, one could take it all in at a single glance.

Andorica was not particularly large, mostly consisting of two- or three-story houses, with few tall buildings, resembling ordinary dwellings.

Inside, taverns and bounty posters were everywhere, exuding an old-fashioned Western style throughout, along with one characteristic feature—

tumbleweeds.

On the streets,

the four of Luo Ge secretly observed their surroundings but found nothing peculiar.

If anything was peculiar, it was the several gazes secretly watching them.

.... 0 0

"We've been spotted."

Machi's voice was indifferent, without a trace of emotional fluctuation.

As the first city, Andorica had many people choosing to stay here.

First, because it hosted an event called the "Monthly Tournament," where winning offered a chance to obtain a 【Designated Card】.

Second, lying in wait here made it easier to encounter suitable targets.

As for what kind of targets?

Naturally, those whose cards would be stolen by them.

In a corner,

four pairs of eyes exchanged glances, then hardened with resolve; they stepped out simultaneously to face Luo Ge and his companions.

Coincidentally, both sides numbered four people.

Unseen tension grew increasingly thick.

The leader, a scar-faced man, spoke heavily to Luo Ge and the others:

"Your lives and your cards."

"Which do you choose?"

Seeing Luo Ge and the others were relatively young and emitted no visible aura, the scarred man assumed their strength was low.

He never considered that, in fact, their strength surpassed his own, despite his ten full years of contact with 【Nen】.

The only one with truly low strength among them was Menchi, who had only recently become a Nen user.

Luo Ge remained silent, gazing steadily at the scarred man without uttering a word, as if watching a clown leaping about.

An inexplicable awkward atmosphere settled over the scene.

"Tch!"

"Forget it; let's first see how many cards you have, so we don't end up robbing a pauper."

The scarred man spat, then all four shouted in unison: ""

In an instant, four entire books materialized before them.

These were books used to store cards; players would summon the book whenever they needed to use a card.

Seeing this, Luo Ge gave a single glance as a signal; immediately, Machi's cold eyes flashed, and countless threads of Nen swiftly wrapped around the four.

Unable to move!

The scarred man's face showed astonishment; even with all his strength, he could not affect those Nen threads in the slightest.

What kind of person had he... gotten involved with?!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this scene, several hidden glances retracted their gaze and departed from here.

Whether they had harbored any intentions before, those now vanished completely.

They all recognized the Scarred Man and knew his strength ranked among the top tier among players.

Yet this very person was taken down at first glance.

Clearly.

A strong one has arrived in 【Greedy Island】!

Luo Ge and the other three stepped forward, ignoring the immobilized Scarred Man and others, taking away the cards from their books one by one.

Cards inside the book require speech to activate; their throats were tightly bound by the Thread of Incantation, leaving them unable to open their mouths.

Since cards inside a player's book vanish automatically upon death, Machi did not deliver a fatal blow.

After the opponent called out the book, she immediately subdued the enemy and waited until all cards inside the book were taken...

The Scarred Man was filled with regret.

"Not bad. It seems you've put considerable effort into collecting cards."

Lin Ke took out all of the Scarred Man's cards and placed them into his own book.

Each of the four corresponded to one person, taking one person's cards each, then putting them into their own books.

Cards removed cannot be held too long—if over a minute passes, they automatically manifest and can no longer revert to card form.

The Scarred Man had many cards, including several important designated cards—over thirty in total.

Most were low-level cards, but considering 【Greedy Island】 had only been released for a year.

For the Scarred Man to reach this level was quite impressive.
