Chapter 202: The Prop Master

"Huh~"

"Such an exaggerated level of strength."

"No wonder even the old man lost to you."

Jin casually picked up his robe, shook his head, and walked over, feeling his luck was off today.

But it's still acceptable.

After all, I came to ask for a favor—taking a beating was worth it, and it opened my eyes to what a true prodigy looks like.

Though Luo Ge said nothing, he had already assumed Nitro had lost.

"Not bad, but needs improvement."

Luo Ge could only say his strength was decent, feeling there was still plenty of room to grow and needing to work harder.

Having fought both Nitro and Jin, he could now roughly gauge his own strength.

Even if not number one, he was nearly equal.

Among the strongest on the six continents, he would surely rank first.

But in the Hunter World, the strongest of the six continents mean nothing on the Dark Continent—they're at the bottom of the food chain.

With his current strength, he probably couldn't even cross the Mobius Lake in the middle, let alone reach the Dark Continent.

So his focus going forward rests on two things.

Himself and his organization.

Improving himself goes without saying; the organization is to control more resources and subordinates, making it easier to reach the Dark Continent later.

In other words, from the moment he decided to build an organization, he had already planned to confront V5.

What he wanted was a six-continent of his own!

……

Rimelu City,

"He really lost?"

"He really lost."

"How could you lose?!"

Duen scratched his messy bird's-nest hair, face filled with disbelief, thinking Jin was pulling his leg.

Others might not know, but as friends who had known each other for years, they knew Jin's strength too well.

The older generation is hard to say.

Among the younger generation, Jin's strength was unquestionably among the top two of his age group.

Even across all age groups, throughout the entire six continents, only a handful—including Nitro—could defeat him.

Granted.

That's on the surface.

Behind the scenes, there might be others stronger than Jin.

But it doesn't change the fact that Jin is a world-class powerhouse.

Since the day he met Jin, he had never heard of Jin losing a fight.

Today was the first time ever.

And he lost to Luo Ge, who was much younger.

Crack!

Jin sat cross-legged, holding a white fruit shaped like a pear, bit into it—crisp, juicy, refreshing.

He made no effort to hide his loss to Luo Ge, openly admitting it.

Duen and the others might be shocked now, but Jin believed they would someday consider this perfectly normal.

Though Luo Ge's fame was already great.

He still had a hunch that Luo Ge would do even more shocking things in the future.

Duen glanced at Luo Ge beside him, shifted his position closer to Jin, and whispered:

"To be honest, did you hold back… let him win?"

"Because you needed his help, so you deliberately held back?"

He still couldn't believe it.

Jin shook his head.

"I held back?"

"If I held back, then Luo Ge held back the entire ocean."

"His strength truly surpasses mine, and he held back even more—if this were a life-or-death battle, he'd be the one alive."

Duen's lip twitched, and he reluctantly accepted the truth.

Though Luo Ge had no thoughts on the matter, he was close enough and had sharp hearing—he heard every word.

He was flipping through the card manual Duen had provided.

It described the appearance and effects of every single card in 【Greedy Island】.

He had to admit, the effects of the items in 【Greedy Island】 were numerous and exceptionally alluring.

Even Pokémon items fell short.

During his time in 【Greedy Island】, he had tried using Poké Balls to capture those monsters and cards.

It didn't work.

Whether cards or monsters, they were fundamentally formed from 【Nen】, or related to 【Nen】.

They were, in a sense, Nen beasts.

Naturally, it cannot be captured.

But if one utilizes the rules of 【Greed Island】 to allow monsters to be brought outside and become physical entities, there is a high probability they can be captured.

After flipping through several pages of the manual, Luo Ge's gaze landed on a certain image, and he asked casually:

"Jin Huang."

"Do you have children yet?"

Jin Huang:???

Jin Huang "laboriously" swallowed the fruit in his mouth and asked, puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Luo Ge turned the manual around so that both of them could see the picture content above.

"I think this thing suits you quite well."

Jin Huang and Du En fixed their eyes on it to take a look.

【S-10】 Stone of Pregnancy:

Carry this three-kilogram stone on your person without letting it leave your body for one month.

Successfully completing this will result in pregnancy regardless of gender one week later; there are male stones and female stones, so wear the stone corresponding to the gender you wish to give birth to.

"Hahahaha... mhmm..."

Du En first froze, then burst into hearty laughter, unable to stop his mirth at all, even laughing until tears came out.

To tell the truth, he felt this item seemed made for Jin Huang to use.

For someone like him, what woman would like him? It was quite possible that his son came about exactly this way.

"Haha, very funny, isn't it?"

Just as Du En was laughing happily, a strange voice came from beside him.

Looking over, they saw Jin Huang, smiling with his mouth but not his eyes, twisting his wrists and striking a pose ready to teach someone a lesson.

"Cough, cough, listen to my explanation..."

Bang!

Suddenly, a large lump appeared on Du En's head.

Jin Huang finished the fruit in his hand in no time at all, then seemed to suddenly think of something, changed his train of thought, and asked Luo Ge:

"I heard you have many magical items, right?"

"Do you have an item that can remove death intent?"

"Remove death intent, huh..."

"Indeed, there is."

Luo Ge recalled for a moment, then nodded in admission.

With a casual flip, a spray can with a golden-yellow exterior appeared in his hand, its heavy feel indicating considerable weight.

"This is called 【Golden Spray】; as long as you spray it on your body or directly at death intent, they will automatically avoid you or dissipate."

"One can like this will allow you to stay within death intent for at least one hour."

【Golden Spray】 is considered the highest grade of 【Repel Spray】, with 【Silver Spray】 sitting in between.

The lowest-grade 【Repel Spray】 can only hinder creatures from approaching, but upon reaching 【Silver Spray】, it can affect death intent.

So there really is one?

Jin Huang raised an eyebrow, showing no curiosity toward Luo Ge's words.

Luo Ge's items were famously powerful, not to mention they were about to act together, so there would be plenty of opportunities to observe.

Right now, he was filled with longing for the 【Golden Spray】 in Luo Ge's hand.

If he had such an item, exploring certain places would become much easier.
