Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 59: The Evolution of Germain's Psychic Ability

Biscuit took some photos of the scenery along the way with his phone, then looked through his old photos and complained, "It seems I need to buy a phone with a larger storage capacity. There is not enough space."

"Can't we delete some old photos?" Xiaodi asked curiously.

"Xiao Di, I'm sorry, these are all my treasures." Biscuit showed Xiao Di the photo album on his mobile phone.

The first few dozen were photos from the trip.

Next are Biscuit's selfies in various outfits, and some photos of handsome guys (including German), but the most numerous are of course photos of various gemstones from all angles.

Xiaodi pointed to some photos that she thought were boring and asked, "Can't we delete all of these?"

"No." Biscuit put her hands together in front of her chest, like a nun praying, quite determined, "If I can't look at these photos tonight, I won't be able to sleep at all."

"If I can't sleep, there's nothing I can do." Xiaodi accepted this setting calmly.

At this time, German, who was at the front, suddenly warned: "Be careful, there is something ahead."

Biscuit and Xiaodi looked over and quickly realized the source of the danger that Germain warned them about.

Many creatures in the Dark Continent are born with the skills of "absolute" and "round", which is their hunting instinct.

However, when many creatures confirm that they are going to attack their prey, they will burst out with strong murderous intent at that moment, which is enough for German's three elite Nen users to react.

So, when a flower bud with pink petals and green leaves suddenly emerged from the bushes after a brief shake, the three of them evacuated the place in time and appeared in the distance in a flash.

"It's him again." Biscuit curled his lips, looking as if he had seen an annoying acquaintance.

The flower bud, like a cannonball, pierced the place where the three people were originally standing, poking a sharp hole three meters deep.

With a "puff" sound, the branches shot up like spears, pulling out the flower buds that were stuck in the soil, shaking off a cloud of dust.

Then, the flower bud slowly blossomed, and beneath the petals was a serrated mouth that looked like a lamprey's mouthparts, from which pools of disgusting mucus flowed.

More flower buds emerged from the woods on both sides. They bloomed together, and their sharp mouthparts quickly occupied the path in front of them.

"Is this the nth time we've been attacked by this kind of plant?" Biscuit subconsciously took a photo of them first, "Did we get into their nest?"

German actually counted the number of times and replied, "I have been walking for more than forty minutes and have been attacked by them eleven times."

"Let's kill them?" Xiaodi adjusted his glasses excitedly, "and then swallow them with my 'bulgy fish'."

"Well, if we make it into specimens or something, plant hunters will probably be very interested." Biscuit said with a smile.

"I know an acquaintance who would definitely want something like this, but unfortunately she is one of the 'Twelve Branches of the Hunter Association'."

"Telling her would be like telling the old man about what happened here, and would violate the 'contract' I made with the two of you. I don't want to start a bad precedent."

The "contract" that Biscuit mentioned was to keep the journey, German and Xiaodi's telepathic abilities confidential, as well as the distribution issue after the journey.

"Let's do it," Germain said decisively. "No matter if it's valuable or not, we'll put it back into the belly of the bulge-eye fish first."

Germain's goal is to explore deeper into the Dark Continent, Biscuit's goal is to confirm whether Germain's previous words are true, and Xiaodi's goal is to pursue substantial benefits.

He has to satisfy Biscuit and Xiaodi's goals separately in order to achieve his own goal.

Bisiji and Xiaodi have never revealed their true feelings before.

However, German, who held the teleportation lantern and led the journey, naturally became the default captain of the team, and the decisions he made were authoritative.

So, the three of them started hunting this carnivorous flower bud, among which Xiaodi was the most agile and fierce.

For Xiaodi, these are cash cows. Biscuit can kill the carnivorous flower buds with just the posture of a girl and the swing of her fists and feet.

She blasted out another powerful Heart Source Fist, knocking down another flower bud, then suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of Germann.

"Germain, are you trying something?"

"Why do you ask?" German turned and looked at Biscuit.

"Of course it's because of your 'flow'. The flow of your mental energy is slightly different from that in normal combat, and the difference is constantly increasing. I can only think that you are trying something."

Biscuit put his hands on his hips and spoke in an orderly manner.

A carnivorous flower bud suddenly turned around from behind and attacked her from behind. She turned around without even looking and kicked the flower bud to pieces with just the right kick.

"I am indeed trying." Germann only had a meat saw in his hand, and the teeth were covered with purple flower bud mucus, "The possibility of evolving my mind ability."

"Evolution?" Biscuit understood immediately. After all, she was an expert in this field. "It means to learn the abilities of the adjacent systems with the original mind ability system as the center, right?"

"Then you should have asked me earlier! I am a transformation type. Because of my personal philosophy, I have the ability to write Nen like "Magic Beautician Miss Cookie"."

"However, I learned the Heart Source Flow from President Netero and trained my body day after day for decades, and also trained my strengthening abilities."

"You are a materialization type. What you want is a Nen ability that is mainly materialization type and supplemented by transformation type, right?"

"Yes." Germann admitted, "Unless there is a special state, I can't master the trait system, so I can only develop in the direction of the transformation system."

"That's right." Biscuit looked as if he had seen through German's smug expression. "But speaking of this, I remembered someone who is very similar to you. Maybe you can use him as a reference."

German also thought of that person and listened quietly.

Sure enough, Bisiji said, "Have you heard of Kate, the disciple of Jin Fulishi?"

"Kate is a materialization type. Although there are many differences between his "Crazy Clown" and your "Hunter Badge", the common point is that they both materialize weapons to fight."

"However, simply summoning weapons can no longer meet Kate's combat needs. He needs each weapon to have special abilities to deal with different situations."

"For this reason, Kate can only use 'Constraints and Oaths' - let the 'Crazy Clown' himself decide what weapons Kate will use to fight."

"So, all nine of his weapons have different, pretty powerful special abilities."

Kate's situation is similar to that of Kurapika from the future, who is also a materialization type.

Kurapika put various "restrictions and vows" on himself, including gambling his own life, so the chains on his five fingers developed all have different special abilities.

However, Kurapika did this in order to take revenge on the Phantom Troupe.

He was able to set such "restrictions and vows" because he had the awareness to give up his future and fight hard only in the present.

There is no need for Germann to go as far as Kurapika, so of course he chose a safer path similar to Kate's.

At the same time, it is also the path of Chrollo, who has special qualities.

In order to overcome the limitation that he must hold a materialized book in his hand to fight, Chrollo specially set up "Restrictions and Oaths" and developed a new ability called "Bookmark".

Germann's "Hunter Badge" already has "restrictions and oaths", and now in order to evolve, he can only make more "restrictions and oaths".

His initial idea was not to give all weapons new abilities, but to strengthen them on the original basis. However, what kind of "constraints and oaths" are needed to achieve this result?
Germain began to think.

After Biscuit told German the training method of the Transformation System, he stopped bothering him and went to clear the carnivorous flower buds on the path.
