Chapter Eighteen

　　45 people passed the second round of "boiled eggs" test.　

　　Compared with the 70 people who entered the second round of the exam before, many people really flinched. What you find incomprehensible is that you asked for the number plate of those candidates who failed, but no one was willing to give it to you.

　　"What do you want to do?"

　　"Why should I give it to you?"

　　"no..."

　　Everyone treats you with disdain, you feel strange, you have obviously lost the election, what's the use of keeping that number plate, just about to argue with them, this is the system prompt that ding ding dong dong sounded again Voice.

　　System prompt: You have been ignored, check if your charm is not enough...

　　Huh? ! Is there such a saying?

　　You opened your mouth wide in surprise, and saw that the airship of the Hunter Association in the sky was about to stop to pick you up, and those candidates who failed the selection would leave the examination room soon. You are anxious, after this mass elimination, it will be very difficult to get the candidate's number plate again, so you use your wits to rush to the side of the bushes to change into a cool bikini, and then walk out full of shame.

　　"Wow--"

　　"shine!"

　　The eyes of everyone looking at you are different immediately, your whole body will almost glow with "kirakira" and you will become the focus of attention as soon as you appear on the stage.

　　The charm of the bikini is more than 300 more... Before you finished leveling in the wilderness, you thought it was too shameful to wear a bikini, so you changed back to the ordinary adventurer clothes before you came back. Unexpectedly, you still have to show it to the public this side...

　　"Well, can I have your number plate?"

　　You look anxiously at a candidate who is drooling at you and ask.

　　"No problem! Here you go!"

　　"I'll give you mine too!!"

　　"And mine!"

　　In the blink of an eye, you have collected 10 number plates. Sure enough, the charm is high to be popular! You were overjoyed, but those examinees still pestered you and refused to leave, so you excused yourself that it was inconvenient, and fled back into the bushes to change into an adventurer's leather jacket. When you came out again, no one paid any attention to you.

... Everyone is really realistic. You thought helplessly.

　　After entering the airship, President Netero introduced himself to the candidates who passed the test, and then told you that it will be a long time before you arrive at the place of the next exam, and you will be free until 8:00 the next day.　

　　After talking, everyone dispersed, and Hisoka sat alone in the corner and began to pile up the poker tower. When he reached the top of the tower, he would suddenly overturn the poker tower, and at the same time make a creepy hee hee and disappear, repeating over and over again.

　　This pervert...

　　You try to stay away from him, when Gon and a white-haired boy suddenly come over and ask if you want to go for a walk together.

　　Killua stares at you probingly with his round cat eyes. Seeing his appearance, you suddenly remember that you haven't spoken to him yet.

　　Anyway, he is also one of the four protagonists, you really failed.

　　Just about to answer Gon, Kurapika and Leorio suddenly approached, asking if you want to take a break to recover your strength.

　　Huh? Everything came together...

　　System prompt: Who do you want to be with?

　　1. Gon

　　2. Leorio and Kurapika

　　3. Free movement

　　You immediately understand, this is the divergent plot... whoever you choose can increase your favorability, but you have no interest in Gon, although he saved you while teaching the battle, Kurapika and Leorio People are also very boring...

　　...Let's go for a walk with Gon, you haven't talked to Killua so far, maybe Gon will introduce him to you.

　　"Oh, I'm not tired yet, I'm going to walk for a while."

　　(System prompt: Gon favorability +5, Killua favorability +5.)

　　After walking slowly behind the two children for a while, Gon really introduced you to each other, "Carrot Potato is my friend from Whale Island, Carrot Potato! This is Killua, and he is as old as me!" Carrot Potato? Hahaha, what a strange name."

　　...you bear it. Has the system set the character to start laughing at your name yet?

　　Even so, you still nodded and greeted Killua with a stiff face. After Gon finished introducing you, he started chatting cheerfully with Killua "hahaha", "hee hee hee", "hehehe", you were completely ignored by the two of you, and you felt like you couldn't get in the way at all. Or to be more precise, there is no more plot assigned to you here at all.

　　You suddenly feel that your status is the same as that of the coach. So the current scene has become very strange: two children are walking in front of them laughing and joking, followed by a little girl with a frowning face, and behind the little girl is a muscular fitness trainer who is fully exposed and only wears briefs... …

　　After listening to the conversation between Killua and Gon for a long time, it said that Killua's family members are all killers. At the same time, he will ask you whether you believe what he said, choose to believe, and then listen to the music that increases the favorability. You feel more and more bored, remembering that the following plot seems to be about grabbing the ball with the old man Netero. If you grab it, you can get the license for the hunter exam in advance, but you don't need to think about it. The difficulty must be extremely high, and it will definitely test the operation, you I don't want to waste energy. So You made an excuse that he was inconvenient, then got rid of the two boys and slipped away.

　　It's really boring, as expected, I should go to sleep until dawn.

　　So You searched the cabin (found 2 sausages and a can of beer), and was about to go to Kurapika and Leorio to rest, when I suddenly found that Hisoka, who was sitting in the corner stacking cards, had disappeared, and there was an inexplicable phenomenon on the ground. A poker card was left behind.

　　You walked over curiously, picked up the poker and looked at it, it was a king of spades.

　　System prompt: I got the collectible Hisoka poker, and you can exchange for rewards if you collect a set.

　　...ah?

　　You shook your head, then put the cards back into your pocket.

　　When you found Kurapika and Leorio, they were already snoring at the corner, and you saw Tonpa secretly hiding at the corner to peek at them.

　　"Hello--"

　　You hate Tonpa very much, so you immediately go over to chase him away (the coach is right behind you), but when Tonpa sees you approaching, he shows disgust and immediately hides away.

　　System prompt: Characters with negative favorability will deliberately keep a distance from you. Gifts and conversations, or events can increase the character's favorability. Try sending your beer to Tonpa.

　　...Never! Who cares about Tonpa favorability?

　　You secretly despised it in your heart, then walked to the side of Kurapika and Leorio, and the system prompted again: Do you want to rest?

　　You choose yes.

　　System prompt: Do you need to save the current progress?

　　Hey, can I archive without a diary? You secretly feel surprised, but think that maybe this is an automatic save at the end of the chapter, so you choose "yes".

　　(System prompt: saving... Please don't commit suicide or pull out the tube at the back of your head now)

　　Black screen, next day.

　　It was half past nine when I woke up, but for some reason, the airship seemed to be delayed, and it had just arrived at the third round of exams.

　　Open the menu and see that my status has changed to "Excellent Tune". The airship slowly landed on a tower soaring into the sky. After stopping, you ate the two sausages you found on the airship (the effect of beer is to restore Nen power and improve Nen state, which is not needed for the time being), and then staggered off the ship with the big team.

　　The place for the third round of exams was the Jianjing Pagoda. The top of the pagoda was empty, the ground was made of rocks, and there was nothing around it except a huge rooftop.

　　The air at high altitude is a bit thin and makes you feel a little cold. You sneezed, thinking that you might catch a cold if you go on like this, so you took out the ugly bleating sheep cloak from your bag and shivered and draped it over your shoulders.

　　The examiner told you that the requirement for this level is to find a way to reach the bottom of the tower within 72 hours, and then the airship will drive away, leaving you staring at the top of the tower with nothing.

　"How can I go down, there is nothing here."

　　The examinees are in a maze. You still have an impression of this part of the plot, but you have almost forgotten the details. Just remember to find a secret door at the top of the tower to go down. The structure of the tower is also very complicated. Just reached the finish line.

　　Unknowingly, the number of candidates around is getting smaller and smaller, and many people have already found the secret door and entered. You glanced at the protagonist group of four, and they couldn't find the way, and they were still exploring. I remember that in the original book, they seemed to be in a group with Tonpa. Now that there is one more you, I think you will definitely squeeze out Tonpa position and join them, but...

　　You still feel that this is a bit troublesome. Since you found out that there are all kinds of tricks in this game, following the rules is no longer meaningful to you. Is there any good way to quickly reach the bottom of the tower? And if you replace Tonpa, whether Tonpa can pass the test will become a problem, and then there will be one less number plate that can be robbed in the second round. In the long run, You still don't want Tonpa to be robbed here. Eliminate.

　　You walk to the edge of the top of the tower, look down at the bottom of the tower...it seems a little high.

　　Climbing down doesn't seem to work. Candidate No. 86 thought he was an expert in rock climbing. When he was climbing down triumphantly, he was eaten by the monsters hovering around the tower. If he wants to reach the bottom of the tower quickly and safely...

　　After some contemplation.

　　You turned your head and gave the coach a strange look.

　　...it's up to you.

　　To be continue….
