Chapter Fifteen

　　Just now... was that a human figure?

　　You panicked in your heart, and quickly chased after him without thinking, but the other party's aura has disappeared. You looked around warily, but you saw nothing, only a mark in the mud under your feet.

　　Footprints of humans... Could it be that Hisoka came after him?

　　...No, probably not.

　　This assumption was quickly overturned, Hisoka didn't need to hide and follow you, and he didn't even bother to sneak attack.

　　You bent down and stared at the two shoe prints carefully. Not surprisingly, it was stepped on by someone wearing boots, and judging by its size, it should be an adult male. This rules out Hisoka, that pervert can wear women's high heels...

　　No matter who it is, this is very unusual. The characters in this game do not have AI. You really don't understand the reason for this situation, and you feel uneasy inexplicably. You shook your head, the more you thought about it, the more frightening you felt, and you decided to withdraw quickly, so you hurried towards the return route.

　　After getting lost for a while, you bumped around and finally returned to the wetland with thick fog. At this time, Hisoka and Leorio had disappeared.

　　There is no one in the place where the original plot happened, and you think that now you can only find the place where the second exam is, but Satozz said before that once you lose him, you will never be able to leave this forest.

　　You are a road idiot with a very poor sense of direction, what should you do...

　　Calm down, carrot potato! (You are so panicked that you forget your original name), there is no maze in the RPG game! No matter where you go, you can find a way forward... Even if there is no end of the road, there must be a treasure chest!

　　You secretly cheer yourself up. The dilemma didn't last long, and soon you discovered a secret: Whenever the enemy becomes particularly strong, you know you are on the wrong track!

　　That's right, the enemies of the process are set according to the normal development of the story, even if you don't deliberately level up, you won't fail - of course, encountering Hisoka is purely...

　　Groping along the way, you judge whether you have gone the wrong way based on the strength of the enemy. Later, the enemy becomes weaker and weaker, the fog gradually dissipates, and you finally reach the end of the first exam.

　From a distance, I saw a large group of people clustered in an open space in front of a similar warehouse building. Everyone seemed to be quite impatient. The examiner Satozz stood at the front of the line like a wooden man to time the time.

　　Thank God! You are on the right track!

　　You happily rushed to the front of the building, which should be the venue for the second exam. But it was found that the gate was locked, with a sign saying "The second round of exams will be held at noon today" was hung on it, and at the same time, there were suspicious "grunts" from the inside of the building from time to time, accompanied by horrible groans similar to sighs, which made people feel anxious. People shudder.

　　If it starts at noon... what time is it now?

　　Satozz is still counting down the time. You spent too much time on leveling before, which means that it is useless to wait. It seems that you may have some plots that have not been triggered.　

　　You quickly looked around, but you didn't see Gon and Kurapika, but you saw Leorio lying shirtless under the tree. Going forward to investigate, it was found that Leorie had fainted, and his face was swollen badly as if he had been punched hard.

　　"Are you okay? Leorio?" You patted his face, Leori mumbled something nonsense with his eyes closed, but did not respond.

　　As a last resort, you gave up on waking up Leorio, and planned to visit Satozz. Unexpectedly, when you turned around, you saw the clown with playing cards and the weird man with nails all over his face standing near you, and you couldn't help being shocked. .

　　Fortunately, Hisoka was talking to the Nail Man. I don't know whether he didn't pay attention or simply disdain. Hisoka didn't pay attention to you.

　　That's bad luck... stay away from him.

　　You thought in fear, and subconsciously rushed into the crowd. At this time, you heard a yelling in the distance behind you. You turned your head and saw Gon and Kurapika rushing towards the finish line. .

　　"One more point! Finally caught up!!!"

　　～free time～

　　"Carrot Potato! Great, you're all right!!"

　　Gon happily held your hand and cheered, you felt a little embarrassed, no matter what Gon said, you nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes", Kurapika also looked at you sincerely, and said with concern: " Hisoka went after you, but then came back, and we were all worried that you had been killed, but Gon said that he didn't smell blood, and we can only pray for a miracle... Anyway, it's great that you're okay."

　　... It's ridiculous that he actually went back.

　　You were embarrassed again, and after exchanging pleasantries, Gon and Kurapika went to check on Leorio status. After you were chased and killed by Hisoka, Leorio was also beaten, you felt very unfair, why should you be killed by Hisoka. While they were talking to Leorio, you tried to talk to other exams to collect information, and suddenly a new prompt appeared in the system: You noticed a line of sight piercing from behind, and you were a little concerned.

　　Huh?

　　You turned around subconsciously, and saw the white-haired boy who was running with Gon before was looking at you with his big cat eyes. When his eyes met, he suddenly smiled and turned his head away.

　　...It's Killua.

　　Of course you know who this child is, the good friend of the protagonist in the original book, because he was born in a family of killers, he has never felt the warmth of family affection since he was a child. After meeting the innocent and kind Gon, he was influenced and the two became inseparable A split couple... It's a really touching story, presumably he noticed you because of Gon's relationship...

　　"It's time." Examiner Satozz voice interrupted your thinking. Satozz looked at the wrist watch and said, "152 people passed the second exam."

　　At the same time, with the sound of "squeak", accompanied by a heavy drag, the previously closed door of the building slowly opened to you.

　　"Gululu..."

　　"Gulululu..."

　　The terrible sound made the examinees more and more nervous. No one knew what was going on inside, and everyone was on guard. After the door was fully opened, the original tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the entire venue suddenly became silent.

　　"Gululu..."

　　"How? Are you hungry?"

　　"I'm starving... let's get started."

　　The examiners this time were a man and a woman. Behind a woman with revealing clothes and braids sat a fat man who looked like an inflatable tent. Only then did everyone understand what was going on with that terrible "gurgling" sound. It turned out to be coming from the fat man's stomach...

　　"I'm Menchi, the examiner for the second round, and that guy is Buhara. The content of the test is to make dishes that satisfy us."

　　The female examiner who calls herself Menchi began to explain to you the content of the second exam, which is cooking. First, the candidates must make the specified dishes for the fat man to eat. The fat man can only continue with her test after the fat man says that he passes the test. Simply put Said that as long as the dishes can be said to be delicious by both of them, it is considered qualified, and the time will last until Menchi is full.

　　Although it has been quite a long time since you watched "Hunter×Hunter" for the first time, of course you still remember this episode. The food that the fat man wants to eat is a roasted whole pig. When Menchi was explaining, you were in a daze and counted the braids on her head, one, two, three, four, five... there were actually five. You think her taste is too curious...

　　"How can there be such a test question... The man should be able to eat very well, but the woman should not be able to eat much..."

　　The candidates in the row below were whispering, and they couldn't help but worry about what kind of food Buhara wanted. Many people might be brushed off this time. Leorio spat, grinned with his swollen face crooked and grinned, "Bah, I've never cooked in my life!"

　　"My topic is roasted whole pig!" Buhara swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said greedily, "My favorite food!"

　　There was a complete silence below, and the candidates were a little stunned.

　　"As long as there are pigs in this forest, it's fine. Alright, the second test begins!"

　　After Buhara voice fell, the candidates rushed to the designated forest for fear of falling behind others. When you saw Gon and the others running away, hurry up to follow.

　　"I'm really relieved. It turned out to be such a simple dish. You just need to catch the pig and roast it."

　"But hurry up, although he has a huge body, his food intake is also limited."

　　No, no matter how much he can eat.

　　You remember that in the original book, the fat examiner's stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he thought there would be no pressure, but at this moment he heard a "ding" again, and a prompt appeared in the system saying: Complete the task within ten minutes and you will get special rewards, the first one to complete the task Additional trophies can be obtained.

　　Huh? That's fine too.

　　...It seems that "Hunter" has started to develop a new system, and you feel more and more speechless, so you have no choice but to speed up to get rewards, but you suddenly have an idea, and you can't help but think about it.

　　When you were at the entrance of the wetland before, you seemed to have bought five roasted whole pigs from the store.

　　It should be can, right?

　　So with the mentality of giving it a try, you prepared to go back to try your luck. Unexpectedly, when you turned around and were about to leave, Gon suddenly called out to you: "What are you going to do? Carrot potato, we have to hurry up!"

　　No way! Did the system detect your intention to stop you? No, you have to try! So you replied with a guilty conscience: "I, I am inconvenient!"

　　"Oh! I see, you go!"

　　Gon turned his head and ran away with Kurapika, and ignored you.

　　...It actually works.

　　You patted your chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed towards the table where Bharat was sitting in the direction of the venue.

　　"Very hungry... huh? Are you ready? So fast."

　　Bhara fiddled with his saliva with fingers thicker than your arm, and stared at you expectantly: "Then let me review your cooking."

　　You took out a huge roasted whole pig from your backpack in a "swipe" manner, and put it on the dinner plate in front of Bharat with both hands.

　　"Huh? Is there such a pig in the forest? Forget it, I'll eat and see..."

　　You hold your breath nervously.

　　"tasty!"

　　Bhara held up a circled sign and said with a silly smile: "Qualified!"

　　This is actually possible! !

　　With the system prompting "Complete the task within ten minutes and get 10,000G ", the sky began to rain gold coins, you danced and happily bent down to pick up gold coins with the coach, but at this moment, the clear sky suddenly changed black, a large cloud drifted over.

　　You raised your head in doubt, and suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the sky, hitting your head impartially.

　　"Wow--!!!"

　　System prompt: Dishonest carrots and potatoes are opportunistic and will get an extra reward of "God's Punishment".

　　"Crackling--", "Crackling--"...
