Chapter 207 Hunter's Occasion Toxin × Hunter Test × Acquaintance...
Ilmi officially became the person to guide players in their practice.
Unlike Hisoka, who the player actively seeks and hopes to get guidance from, Illumi seems to be very keen on this identity. The next second when the player shows his intention to use Nen, a Nen needle flies directly over.
The player dodged, and he looked at the player with an extremely innocent expression and confusion: "I'm opening your sperm hole."
The eerie temperament can be easily misunderstood!
After experiencing the QTE judgment with the highest [Endurance] requirement, the word [Read] will appear after the special ability column on the player's personal panel.
Yay!
Ilmi demonstrated personally, showing the entanglement, elimination, refining and release, and required players to maintain the state of "entanglement" throughout the practice.
By turning on the "Entanglement" option under the [Mind] category, the player's energy value will decrease faster than normal actions.
After exploration, players discovered that the four options can be enabled separately or simultaneously, and will bring different benefit effects.
When both Entanglement and Refining are activated at the same time, [Endurance] and [Perception] will be increased by 20% from the base.
It is also the combination that consumes the highest energy value.
Ilmi's eyes widened slightly, his face still expressionless, his tone devoid of emotion. "Well, you've grasped the combined application of 'entanglement' and 'refining'."
——'Strong'.
Ilmi naturally changed the requirement for players to maintain "firmness" during training. Players who successfully caught him would be considered to have passed. During this period, he would throw out needles at irregular intervals to attack the players.
The specially made round-pointed needle made no sound as it brushed past the corner of the player's clothing and pierced deeply into the ground.
This person was completely implementing the goal of "guiding practice" based on the goal of draining the player's energy bar, with no concept of gradual progress at all...
After the energy bar is reset to zero several times, the players who open their eyes again will be back to the next day. This time, they will prepare in advance.
"Open the box."
A butterfly made of strange flames flew out of the box in the form of flowing light and was guided closer to Ilmi.
"What's this?"
Ilmi first used the mind needle to test the degree of danger. The slow-moving rain butterflies were instantly dispersed, disintegrating into light blue flames, and then gradually condensed into the outline of a butterfly in front of his eyes.
"Mind beast?" He stared at the butterfly-like fantasy creature in front of him and made a reasonable guess based on his knowledge.
The player standing not far from him corrected him earnestly, "It's a box weapon. It can simply communicate with the holder's mind."
"oh."
Ilmi nodded, he stretched out his hand, and the rain butterfly flew towards him docilely and landed on his fingertips.
"It likes me." He said in a straightforward tone, and his mood seemed to inexplicably improve because of this discovery.
"Well, actually, you might be attracted by blood. Are you..." injured?
Ilmi maintained the posture of letting Yudie land on his hand and shook his head at the player: "You don't understand."
Box Weapon Holder Player: "...Oh!"
He threw the needle again, but his movements were noticeably slower.
The player seized the opponent's weakness and pounced on him. Ilmi's body had a dodging instinct for a moment, and his dark pupils reflecting the player's approaching figure unconsciously widened, but in the end he just obediently was knocked to the ground by the player.
"I got you," said the player who was holding Illumi down, preventing him from moving, smugly. "Now, who's the one who doesn't understand?"
The moment Ilmi was caught by the player, he gave up resistance and accepted the mistake calmly. He only opened his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of confusion about his body's disharmony.
"Ah, it's normal to feel your reaction slowed down. The scales and flames of the Rain Butterfly are poisonous."
Ilmi retorted, "I've always done very well in my drug resistance training since I was little."
——Strictly speaking, that is the effect of 'calming', and poison resistance is of no use.
"That's the reason, I guess," Ilmi said to himself expressionlessly. "In nature, males will deliberately pretend to be defeated by females in order to please them."
so……?
Ilmi nodded to himself: "This impression was implanted in my subconscious mind, so I subconsciously let you catch me."
"...Eh, are you trying to save face now?" The player realized it belatedly and asked uncertainly.
"..." Ilmi, Ilmi was ready to take out the needle.
He got angry and embarrassed after being exposed!
Ilmi's training of players did not last long, and the hunter test began.
When Ilmi learned that the player was going to take the hunter test, he calmly said that the assassination target he had received was among the candidates, so he would naturally go with the player.
Players and Ilmi board the airship and arrive at the pre-selected gathering place. They must pass the pre-selection before they can get the address for the formal assessment.
"*Main Quest: Pass the Hunter Test!
Pass probability: 100%
After easily passing the pre-selection test, the player received a message from the knight on his phone: "Ah, Ilmi, wait a moment, someone I know is nearby and we're on our way, so we can go to the venue together."
"His name is Xiake." The player showed him the message he was communicating with Xiake on the phone.
The light from the phone screen illuminated Illumi's dark eyes, which were slightly fluorescent. His gaze paused on the spider on the opposite profile picture: "...a member of the Phantom Troupe."
He nodded but said nothing, not wanting to reveal his true identity to the spider, so he turned and headed straight for the nearby changing rooms.
"Ilmi?"
The player sits on a chair outside and waits for him to come out.
"..." The door of the changing room was opened from the inside out, and a tall figure dressed smartly, with long black hair tied behind his head, walked with a breeze.
The player blinked.
Behind the tall figure, a young man with purple skin and a head riddled with nails walked out. He walked past the player without looking away.
"Ilmi?" The player called out to the nail-shaped monster, curiously asking, "Where are you going?"
The young man with the stubble-like head stopped in his tracks, his expression expressionless as he made a strange, surprised expression. A voice that belonged to Ilmi uttered, "You can recognize me even after this. Sure enough, we have a telepathic connection!"
Is he deliberately trying to see if the players can identify him...
The player didn't have to wait too long, and the knight soon reunited with the player smoothly as he said.
——With the familiar figure beside him who was not mentioned in the message.
"Hisoka! See you again." Players will unexpectedly see Hisoka here and wave to him to say hello.
Although the other party mentioned that he would participate in the Hunter Test, after Hisoka left the Sky Arena without any regrets, players thought they would not see him in the Hunter Test.
"Haha, this is really..." The red-haired magician's curious gaze moved between the player and the nail-head-shaped Illumi. His half-closed eyes opened for a moment, and an unknown expression flashed in his eyes.
He licked his lips, as if he understood everything: "This is much more interesting than I thought."
"Who is this?" The knight, who had noticed Hisoka's intriguing attitude, smiled and turned the topic to Illumi, who had a particularly eye-catching appearance.
Ilmi opened his mouth, and only a noise like metal colliding came out: "Ta-ta-ta..."
Player: Oo?
Didn't I just talk in front of her...
Ilmi turned his head and looked at the player. The player strangely understood what he meant and introduced him to the knight: "He is Ilmi."
Ilmi nodded.
"Hahaha, it seems that this friend is not good at speaking. I am a knight, and I hope we can both pass the hunter test." The knight said cheerfully without any strange expression.
"Hmm~" Hisoka made a noncommittal sound that sounded like agreement, and had no objection to the decision to form a temporary team.
Compared to these, he seems to have a renewed interest in players.
"The energy flowing through my body has become more condensed, and it remains entangled."
He leaned over slightly and whispered into the player's ear with an overly intimate attitude, as if his previous comment that the player was boring had never happened.
"Great... I think we'll get along really well during the Hunter Test."
