Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 200 "Jin's Hardcore Game Strategy"

On September 9th, there were still 17 days left until the agreed departure time.

The sky suddenly turned gloomy in the afternoon, followed by heavy rain that poured down on the ground without restraint.

Then the sky cleared up and the sun shone brightly. The heavy rain just now disappeared like a gust of wind.

In fact, this rainstorm was not sudden, but was arranged by the "Greed Island Management Team".

There is no doubt that the climate on the islands is also under their control.

The cold and heat, spring, summer, autumn and winter of the outside world cannot easily invade this sheltered island.

German, Jin, Biscuit and Xiaodi walked out of the cleaned Limilu Castle together.

They walked on the wet grass, and their footsteps made a rustling sound, as if they were stepping on a layer of green soft cushion.

Now that the team members who were about to set out had been determined, the four decided to conduct imaginary training every day to familiarize themselves with each other's "Nen abilities" and develop a tacit understanding in combat.

First up was German, who reported his "Nen ability and status".

His "Nen ability" is "Materialization·Hunter Badge/Four-stage Energy Gauge".

In the past month or so, "physique" and "energy" have each increased by 1 point, reaching 88 points and 94 points. The radius of the "circle" has also expanded from 60 meters to 65 meters during the practice.

However, among those present, the one with the longest exploration radius of the "circle" was of course Jin, who was ranked among the top five Nen users in the six continents.

There are now 10 types of Noble Phantasms, weapons, and armor that Germain can materialize, and the newest type is the "Tachi Thousand Shadows" obtained when he participated in killing Nobunaga.

Then there are "Traits", 7 types of "Positive Traits" and 1 type of "Negative Traits".

There is no "stress" and "disease".

"How is your trait triggered?" Jin asked curiously, wearing a worn-out coat and with his hands in his pockets, "Is it active or passive?"

Germain raised his hands, showing them his palms, and began to explain.

"Both. For example, my kleptomania. As long as I'm on guard against kleptomania, it won't be triggered."

Jin suddenly realized, "In other words, once you focus on other things and forget about 'guarding against kleptomania', there is a chance that 'kleptomania' will be triggered."

Germain nodded.

Then he walked towards Jin, and gathered his energy with the index and middle fingers of his right hand, transforming them into a dagger.

He stabbed at Jin fiercely, but stopped about half a meter away from Jin's chest.

Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, but he never took any defensive stance from beginning to end, and he didn't even take his hands out of his pockets.

German dropped his right arm.

"Most of the things I manifest are visible to everyone, but the projections of the Hunter Badge and the Transmission Lantern are only visible to me."

"When I had the intention to attack you just now, in the 'projection' that only I could see, among the eight types of 'traits', only 'Warrior of Light', 'Human Nemesis', and 'Strong' were highlighted, while the others were dim."

"When there is enough light, 'Warrior of Light' gives me an amplification. When I attack humans, 'Human Slayer' gives me an amplification. And no matter what the situation, 'Strong and Healthy' gives me resistance to various diseases and makes me less susceptible to infection."

"Similarly, when I attack a beast, 'Beast Killer' is highlighted, when I receive life treatment, 'Genius' is highlighted, and when I receive psychological treatment, 'Toughness' is highlighted."

"When the light is suppressed below a certain limit, the "Light Warrior" will dim, and the "Night Owl" will become brighter instead, increasing the speed."

"In short, they are strictly 'passive', but I can achieve 'active' by changing the conditions."

"I see. I have no doubts now." Jin nodded, "Next, let me tell you about my "Nen ability"."

"It's called 'Hardcore Game Guide', and it belongs to the reinforcement series. 'Hardcore Game Guide' has strengthened my learning, understanding, and application of mental energy." Jin stretched out a finger, and the mental energy swelled into a ball at the fingertips, and quickly changed into German's English name - "Gehrman".

"That's one, the other is 'game strategy analysis'."

"To put it simply, after you attack me, I will gain 'experience points' in exchange for 'strategy analysis' of your 'skills' and learn their principles."

"In theory, I can analyze the principles of the other five systems except the characteristic system. Moreover, the simpler and more direct the 'strike system' attack methods are, the faster I can learn them."

"After all, my main system is the reinforcement system, and my secondary systems are the release system and the transformation system, so I am more familiar with the 'strike system' that attacks directly."

German roughly understood what he meant. That is to say, Jin was a bit like Pom and Wheat, who were also reinforcement-type, especially the latter.

"Note: Xiaomai is the girl who beat the ant king in military chess while having a runny nose."

Biscuit put his hands on his hips, blinked his big eyes, thought for a moment, and asked, "If I use the "Heart Source Fist" to attack you, can you analyze my "Magic Beautician Miss Cookie"? "

"No, I can only obtain the principle of mind energy of the skill "Xinyuanliu Boxing" and use it for my own benefit." Jin answered.

"What if Xiaodi hit you on the head with the 'bulgy fish'?" Biscuit pointed at the short-haired young woman next to him, then pointed at Germain, "What if Germain chopped you with the 'meat saw'?"

Kim shook his head.

"They are all materialization type, distance enhancement type, and there is a transformation type in between."

"After analyzing it, I was able to use my mind to materialize the "Meat Saw" and "Bulge-Eyed Fish", but they are just for show and have little practical value. At most, they can be used to confuse the enemy."

"So, the trait system is the most difficult for you to analyze?" Biscuit asked again.

Jin replied, "Yes. As we all know, the special system is the classification of "mental abilities" that cannot be directly classified into the other five major systems."

"For example, Shira's "accumulated luck". Even if she attacks me, I can't analyze this "psychic ability" because it is too abstract."

Germann couldn't help but think of the other three special-type Nen users - Chrollo, Paknotta, and Alluka Zoldyck.

"Note: Alluka Zoldyck is determined to be a special type in Togashi's setting diagram, and is most likely related to Nanica."

Chrollo steals, Paknoda touches, and Alluka makes a wish. None of them are attacks, and Jin's "Hardcore Game Guide" cannot explain them.

As expected, it is the system farthest from the enhancement system, it is like a natural enemy.

As for President Netero's strengthening system, Zeno's releasing system, and Hisoka's transformation system, Jin's "Hardcore Game Strategy" has great potential, it's like coming home.

"But..." Jin suddenly changed the subject at this time, "I think there is a situation where I can guarantee to perfectly replicate other people's Nen abilities, no matter which system it is, without any difference."

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

He pulled his hands out of his pockets, put them behind his head, and gave a mischievous smile.

"As long as I die under the attack of the opponent's mind ability, my resentment will be enough to fully analyze the opponent's skills."

German and Biscuit looked at each other and ignored this possibility.

Instead, Xiaodi thought about it seriously for a while and asked, "Then how are you going to revive?"

Jin was stunned for a moment. He said this possibility was just a joke. He didn't expect that there would be someone here who was so serious. He was speechless for a moment.

"Xiao Di, he was just joking." This time it was Biscuit's turn to laugh.

"Oh, so that's the case. I thought he would have a second life like in the game." Xiaodi shook her head, seeming a little disappointed.

Jin shook his head and complained, "I don't have a second life, I'm so sorry."
