Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 306 Voting is for unity of opinion
German, Xiaodi, Jin and the refreshed Biscuit who had changed his clothes returned to the top floor of the towering tower again.

The alternation of light and shadow clearly divides the stone brick floor into two areas, one large and one small, separated by a straight line like the twilight zone.

Jin once again spread out a copy of the "New World Chronicle: Eastern Fragments", which was a work copied and summarized from his ancestors, as well as the "Dangerous Creatures Evaluation List".

Jin had no idea how many times he had turned these scrolls over, and the edges had all been curled up by his fingers.

"During the days when you were away, I actually talked to Menqi and Sambika about the relevant matters. They both planned to leave the decision-making power to us."

"I just met with Buhara, and he had the same idea, so the four of us sitting here will decide on our next target."

"Do you have any objections?" Jin cleared his throat, coughing, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the other three.

German and Biscuit both shook their heads. After seeing German's statement, Xiaodi also shook her head.

Jin couldn't help but think: Maybe Xiaodi shouldn't be allowed to join this meeting that will determine the future.

She would most likely follow German blindly, which would be troublesome...

However, the importance of Xiaodi's "psychic ability" is unquestionable, and with her current improved combat power, she is second only to the three of us in this team.

In terms of importance, she is even second only to Germain.

Without German, there would be no "Journey to the Dark Continent", and without Xiaodi, this team would not be able to stay in the "Dark Continent" for a long time.

It is reasonable that she should be here...

Forget it. What matters is not which one is the right one to choose, but which one is chosen by everyone with basically the same opinion.

As the person who convened this meeting, Jin saw that no one had any objection, so he chose to continue the topic.

"Among the 'five major disasters', there are 'three types' that we have not yet explored and solved. They are more dangerous and more mysterious than the 'first two types'."

"Desire-dependent body - "Mist-like creature·E."

"A monster that can spread murderous intent - "Double-tailed Snake Hell Bell"."

"The equivalent exchange of happiness and life - "Human-Educating Beast Pappu"."

"Their 'danger level' is all A, and their 'number' and 'reproductive capacity' are all unknown."

"To make it more intuitive, I compared them with the previous "Plant Weapon·Gold and Silver Ingot", "Immortal Disease·Zobaai", and "Chimera Ant·Chimera". "

Jin spread out a large piece of paper in front of everyone, on which were the above-mentioned "six types of dangerous creatures", ranked and compared in terms of known aspects.

——「Brutality」——

"Double-tailed Snake Hell Bell": A-1
"Mist-like creature: E: A-2"
"Human Beast Pappu": A-2
"Plant Weapon: Gold and Silver Ingots": B
Chimera: B~C
"Immortal Disease: Zobaai": C-1
——「Destructive Power」——

Chimera Ant: A
"Plant Weapon: Gold and Silver Ingot": A-1
"Double-tailed Snake Hell Bell": A-2
"Mist-like creatures: E: A~B
"Human Beast Pappu": B-1
"Immortal Disease: Zobaai": B-2
From the sorting list, everyone can see more intuitively that in terms of "ferocity", the unknown "Two-tailed Snake·Hell Bell", "Misty Creature·Ai", and "Human-Educating Beast·Papu" occupy the top three.

However, in terms of "destructive power", "Chimera Ant" and "Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingot" have overtaken and ranked first and second.

The reason why the "Dangerous Organisms Evaluation List" classifies the "first three types of disasters" as Class A is because the weight of "ferocity" is obviously greater than "destructive power". After all, this is an evaluation of organisms that are "dangerous" to humans.

The lower the "ferocity", the easier it is to avoid it, and the more difficult it is to show its "destructive power".

Of course, these are just comprehensive evaluations. There will always be individual differences, so we can’t directly say which one is better than the other, but they are still very valuable for reference.

Jin waited patiently for everyone to finish watching, then he calmly raised a finger while sitting cross-legged with his arms folded across his chest.

"I have a proposal for this decision. There are four of us here, and there are only three types of known disasters left."

"How about we each state our own judgment and make a brief explanation, and then vote to decide the next goal?"

Four people and "three types of disasters" mean that no matter how you vote, there will definitely be at least one person with two or more votes.

Even if exactly two of the "two types of disasters" get two votes each, it doesn't matter, and voting can continue. The reason why Jin proposed this model is to allow everyone to express their inclinations directly and openly, rather than hiding them.

At the same time, they can change their initial preferences at any time.

This vote is not about fairness or justice, nor is it about choosing the absolutely correct option, but about unifying everyone's thoughts.

Both German and Biscuit realized Jin's intention at the first moment.

However, German was not the first to speak up, because he knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, the voting would most likely be over.

"Then let me go first."

Biscuit understood the role he should play in this situation.

She took a small comb inlaid with sparkling crystals and combed her golden hair that was already draped over her shoulders.

Although it's not as thick and fluffy as before, she is now happy that her hair is thick enough to tie into a cute braid or bun.

"My choice is "Yurenmon·Pap"."

"The reason is simple. After removing "Plant Weapon·Gold and Silver Ingot", "Immortal Disease·Zobaai" and "Chimera Ant·Chimera", the answer is already on the "Dangerous Biological Evaluation List". "

"In terms of 'brutality' and 'destructive power', 'Double-tailed Snake Hell Bell' is ahead of the other 'two types of disasters' and is eliminated first."

"In terms of 'brutality', 'Mist Creature·E' and 'Human-Eating Beast·Papu' are evenly matched, but in terms of 'destructive power', 'Mist Creature·E' is superior."

"So, I choose the less dangerous "Yurenmon Pappu"."

Biscuit's judgment seemed reasonable, but Jin, who spoke second, quickly refuted it.

"Your choice is based on written reviews from the survivors of the expedition and the New World Chronicles: Eastern Chapter Fragments."

"I think it is inappropriate to make a choice based on their judgment, even if some of the comments come from East Fulisi."

When Biscuit heard this, he pouted, but did not interrupt, just listened quietly.

Jin seemed to feel uncomfortable with his current sitting position, so he bent down slightly, rested his left elbow on his knee, supported his chin with his palm, and looked at everyone with slanted eyes.

"Therefore, in addition to the 'Dangerous Organisms Evaluation List', we also need to look at the brief descriptions of them and make corrections in our judgment."

"The mist-like creature, E, was described as a 'desire-dependent body'. The people affected had some kind of dispute, and in the end, all the survivors became insane."

"The Twin-Tailed Snake, Hell's Bell, is described as a 'monster that can spread murderous intent', and all the dead become their bait."

"The "Human-Educating Beast Pappu" is described as 'an equal exchange of happiness and life'. Anyone who enters its territory will have a very hard time surviving."

"It can be seen that they are all very troublesome "dangerous creatures." "

Everyone nodded as they listened, and then heard Jin give his choice.

"So, my choice is "Yurenmon Pappu"."

Hearing what Jin said, Biscuit almost jumped up.

"Aren't you the same as me?!"

"It's different." Jin snorted and said, "My basis for judgment is more complete and more reasonable than yours."

Seeing that Jin was so stubborn, Biscuit knew that if what he was holding in his hand was not a small comb but something else, she would have thrown it directly at the face of this sloppy man.

But of course, Jin still had to finish his explanation, and Biscuit calmed down for a while.
