The ship dropped anchor and lowered the gangway.
A young man supported a pregnant woman as they descended first, followed by several companions, landing on this little-known island.
The moment he set foot ashore, he named the place "Greed Island!"
Excitedly, he told his pregnant wife, "In the future, I'll turn the whole island into a giant 'amusement park' as a gift for my child." (Note: This book abandons the notion that "Gon is a child that Ging gave birth to using a 'pregnancy stone,'" and instead favors the idea that Gon's mother came from the "Dark Continent" and, finding herself in a "secret realm," met Ging.)
The woman nodded expressionlessly, like a puppet, indifferent to everything as the man arranged things.
When did it all start?
Perhaps from the moment the woman awoke from the ruins and realized this was merely an island encircled by Mobius Lake!
"Eitan, could you accompany Vivian for a while?"
"Lister, Elena, Dune, come with me..."
The young man briefly entrusted his pregnant wife to one of his female companions, and with his other partners, began working on creating Greed Island, soon facing two real challenges.
One: How to transform the "cards" from the Card Book into Nenryoku, and how to store the "Card Book."
Two, once Greed Island is completed, it needs a strong "Nen user" to manage it after he leaves.
For the latter, the young man already had a "candidate" in mind, having earlier considered a powerful "criminal."
As for the former... it mainly involves how to exchange "physical cards" into "Nen" using "Anti-Conjuration," without any specific ideas or direction yet.
One day, one of the young man's companions, Elena, approached him... "Ging, I just tried logging into the Hunter website and found out that besides us, there are others searching for the 'Anti-Conjuration' method..."
The young man was sitting cross-legged on a rocky outcrop, fishing, and glanced over unexpectedly, "Who?"
"The person didn't leave their name, only posted a ten billion bounty."
"I just used Nenryoku [Master Control] to capture their number," Elena said carefully, as a piece of transparent azure light appeared in front of her, "It's the only new Hunter who passed the Hunter Exam this term, named..."
"Roy Zoldyck!"
"That Zoldyck?"
"That Zoldyck!"
The young man laughed, lifting up a three-meter-long big yellow fish he had caught, just right to nourish Vivian.
"Interesting, let me know if there are any updates."
He's not concerned with the ten billion Jenny bounty, but... as for the world's leading assassin family, Ging tossed the big yellow fish ashore, curious to see...
"Alright." Elena silently noted the matter, turning and leaving.
As dusk approached, the setting sun cast brilliant rays that stretched the girl's shadow long and wide.
Under the same sky, far away from Greed Island, on Doli Island, Wutong booked plane tickets with Kurajing and returned to the hotel, knocked on the door and immediately noticed...
A teenage boy stood upright with bare upper body, arms folded, directly facing the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the gradually lighting neon of Saba City.
"Young master, at eight tomorrow morning, it's a direct flight to the Republic of Padokea, no need to transfer mid-way, we'll be home in a day and a half."
"Home," except it's not Kurajing's home,
The young girl looked a bit uneasy, often self-identifying as the Zoldyck family's caretaker, yet now faced with potentially going "home," whether she'll pass the Zoldyck family caretaker assessment remains uncertain.
But for the Kurta Race, Kurajing has little room to care,
Approaching "home," everyone's emotions vary significantly.
Roy acknowledged with a slight hum, signaling he understood, instructing Wutong and Kurajing to rest respectively.
With the nightfall, he switched on the bedside lamp.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he spread out Jager's notes, turning to the page on [En] and carefully began reading.
"High-level applications" of Nenryoku... [Gyo][In][En][Shu][Ko][Ryu], he already mastered [Gyo][Shu] and [Ken], with the remaining...
[In] is the advanced application of [Zetsu]... [Ko] is an application that combines [Ten][Zetsu][Ren][Hatsu][Gyo], learning it is relatively complex and is notably more difficult than [Shu] and [Ken]...
As for [Ryu], it is the "Great Success" work that combines all high-level applications, its difficulty surpassing even [Ko].
Roy naturally won't rush excessively, opting to focus on learning [En], which also integrates [Ten] and [Ren], given his recent success with [Ken].
[En]: Defined as extending Nen, using oneself as the center, reaching at least a 2-meter radius, and maintaining it for over a minute.
The range varies depending on the individual's skill level.
It's worth noting that "En" doesn't inherently reflect the strength of one's Nenryoku, and generally differs due to each person's understanding and utilization requirements, leading to subtle variations.
For instance, Nobunaga's [En] has a four-meter radius and can't compare with Zeno's comprehensive coverage extending up to three hundred meters.
But, Nobunaga's [En] has unique qualities that Zeno, Nephelpito, and Shaiapouf cannot match—
He can maintain [En] while simultaneously remaining in a combat state, so...the reason his [En] only extends four meters is due to his arm plus sword reaching a total length of four meters.
