"How long will it take before we can finally eat?!"
In the woods near the church, Uvogin, who was starving, couldn't help but utter his deepest longing for food.
Machi said nothing, still quietly watching Luke, who had come to a large tree ahead.
"We'll be able to eat soon."
Luke touched a fairly lush tree in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"This one's just right."
"What do you mean by just right?"
Uvogin's head practically drooped with hunger. But the next second, he immediately raised his head and sat up straight.
"This is..."
The familiar scene reappeared before his eyes.
A bright glow began to emanate from Luke's hands again.
And then, a strange object suddenly appeared before him.
"What is this?!"
Inside the church's screening room, Chrollo, watching this scene through the window, suddenly widened his eyes and his pupils shrank sharply.
Next to him, Pakunoda was equally shocked, her mouth gaping in a rather uncontrollable manner.
"Did that just appear out of thin air?"
Chrollo's gaze was fixed on the scene ahead while muttering to himself.
At that moment, his mind raced, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation for this miraculous sight.
However, no matter how hard he tried to reflect on his knowledge and learning, he could not come up with any description or description.
It was as though this was something truly unbelievable.
As for Pakunoda, who was standing nearby, she was completely unable to respond after hearing Chrollo's question.
She herself couldn't understand what was happening!
Just as Pakunoda and Chrollo were stunned by the scene before them...
"Tsk, tsk, another invention?"
Uvogin, having already witnessed Luke's extraordinary display, was more receptive.
He was even marveling at it, as if he were witnessing an entertaining trick.
Indeed, for thinkers like Chrollo and Pakunoda, people who studied, learned, and reasoned, the first sight of Luke's Nen ability struck them like a heavy blow.
But for someone like Uvogin, who never bothered to think deeply and left his mind blank, this was nothing more than a magic trick, something fun to see but not worth analyzing.
In a way, this saved Uvogin a lot of trouble.
"Even after seeing it again, it still feels magical."
Amusing as it was, Uvogin's heartfelt feelings were also genuine.
Not to mention Machi, who had been staring at Luke since the light on his hand began to glow.
Compared to Uvogin, Machi had clearly thought more deeply and was still more impressed and moved.
"So if you want to become stronger, you can just beg me for help."
Luke opportunely brought up the previous topic.
"We'll talk about this later."
Uvogin smacked his lips and then looked at the strange invention that had appeared in Luke's hand.
"We want meat and fried rice..."
Uvogin looked at the syringe-like object, raised an eyebrow, and asked suspiciously: "What are these things?"
What appeared in Luke's hand was a syringe and needle combination used for injections.
And…
"These are the meat and fried rice."
Luke tossed a small vial of liquid in his palm while smiling.
"...???"
A series of black question marks appeared on Uvogin's forehead.
These things look like medicine, and you're telling me they're food?!
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.
But when he saw Machi remain silent, saying nothing, he thought for a moment and silently closed his mouth.
Then, under their watchful eyes, Luke opened one of the vials, drew all of the liquid into the syringe, and…
"This tree will do."
Luke said, before directly injecting the syringe into the trunk of the tree.
Immediately, under their gaze, one of the tree's branches began to glow faintly.
Then it swelled, sprouted, and slowly blossomed.
"Wait until it blooms and bears fruit..."
With Luke's soft voice, the fresh flower quickly withered, yielding a large fruit resembling a black coconut.
The fruit then dangled into Luke's hand.
"Like this, the food you wanted is done."
Luke handed it directly to Uvogin.
"Is this meat?"
Though the rapid growth and fruiting had stunned him, the idea of meat growing on trees was a little too unbelievable.
Uvogin, hesitant, opened the lid of the fruit.
Click.
The moment the black lid opened, a strong aroma of meat filled the air.
It instantly engulfed everyone present!
"Huh?!"
Even the nearby duo, Phinks and Feitan, preparing to infiltrate the church, paused almost simultaneously.
"Sniff... this is..."
Phinks's nose twitched sharply, and then he turned his head sharply.
His gaze was fixed in a certain direction.
"What's that smell?!"
"What a nice smell!"
