Chapter 1: The Most Bizarre Violator in History
A choice between the two, comparing them, the harvest from the One Piece world was richer, but Su Xiao had no plans to enter the One Piece world anytime soon.
The reason was simple: Su Xiao wasn't strong enough yet. His first derivative world was the One Piece world, and that entry had little impact on subsequent visits.
However, when Su Xiao entered the One Piece world for the second time, he first cooperated with the CP department, then killed several members of CP9 on Enies Lobby.
Not to mention the CP department's attitude, Fleet Admiral Sengoku alone was about to explode with rage. The person he sent to "protect" Su Xiao was actually there to monitor him under the guise of protection.
Su Xiao's rampage on Enies Lobby was like dumping a chamber pot on Sengoku's head. Sengoku was sitting at home when the chamber pot fell from the sky, so he wouldn't let Su Xiao off easily, and neither would the CP department.
If Su Xiao entered the One Piece world with his current strength, the Marines' pursuit aside—since the location would be in the New World—the CP department wouldn't care about the location. They would send a large number of agents to assassinate Su Xiao. By then, forget about completing the main mission; just dealing with the CP agents would be enough to give Su Xiao a headache.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao no longer hesitated and directly selected [Hunter × Hunter: Chimera Ant King Arc].
[The Hunter has selected the derivative world. The derivative world Hunter × Hunter is now opening. This world has no anomalies. Consuming 0.02 ounces of space-time power...]
[Based on the consumed space-time power, the contractor's minimum comprehensive evaluation for this world must reach C-grade.]
[Derivative world communication platform activating... Activated. Remaining speech count...]
A familiar spatial fluctuation appeared, and Su Xiao's expression was unusually calm.
Bang!
...
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out. Su Xiao's eyes opened, and everything around him was pitch black.
A faint musty smell entered his nostrils. Su Xiao stood up, his pupils gradually adapting to the surrounding darkness. He was inside a large warehouse.
The warehouse was piled with numerous wooden crates, covered in a thick layer of dust.
Su Xiao felt this warehouse looked familiar. He soon realized it was a warehouse in Yorknew City. He had been here before. This place stored large auction items from the Yorknew Auction, those of relatively low value, such as rare but unrefined minerals, dried corpses excavated from ancient ruins, or sculptures.
Now, the warehouse was in a state of disrepair. Dried bloodstains and bullet casings could be seen on the floor, along with a half-rotted arm.
The Yorknew Auction had ended. The Ten Dons' power structure had collapsed. The sole surviving Ten Don, Bique, had defected to the V5 organization, becoming a minor leader within it, specifically managing scattered gangs across various regions.
The V5 organization in the Hunter world was similar to the World Government in the One Piece world, but the V5's control over the Hunter world completely dwarfed the World Government.
Getting on good terms with the V5 would make things much easier for Su Xiao later on. Bique had risen to power with Su Xiao's help. As long as there was no irreconcilable conflict of interest between them, there was no possibility of falling out.
The items taken away when he left the Hunter world before had all reappeared, such as some highly valuable auction items or a large amount of Jenny. This Jenny was enough for Su Xiao to use in the Hunter world, but if he wanted to hire the Zoldyck family, the amount was still far from sufficient.
[Entering World: Hunter × Hunter]
World Difficulty: Lv.5～?? (Semi-Open World)
World Source: 0%,
World Introduction: A vast and dangerous world. Wealth, delicacies, treasures, secret realms—as long as one dares to explore, these are not just dreams. A group of people chase their respective desires across the world. These people share a common title: Hunters.
Hunter: The Hunter system has a licensing system. The Hunter Association holds strict exams every year. Those who pass will receive a Hunter License. Once obtained, they can use the license according to their own wishes. They have various rights (such as free use of public facilities in 95% of countries). Hunters are divided into many types: Gourmet Hunters, Treasure Hunters, Rare Beast Hunters, etc.
Nen Ability: An ability to deeply manipulate life energy. It is divided into four major principles: Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu. Hatsu is the main focus, and it is further divided into six branches: Enhancement, Emission, Transmutation, Manipulation, Conjuration, and Specialization. Different branches have different combat styles.
Chimera Ant: Also known as "Chimera Ants." Creatures from the Dark Continent, later driven out of the Dark Continent. They have extremely strong environmental adaptability.
Main Mission: The King's Heart.
Hunter Mission: Eliminate Violator No. 11065 (1/5) + Void Creature (3/5) + Worker No. 30522 (1/5).
Tip: When the Hunter enters within one kilometer of the Violator, the tracking function will automatically activate.
World, Begin!
...
Su Xiao didn't look at the main mission. His attention was drawn to the Hunter Mission. What the hell was this "Violator No. 11065 (1/5) + Void Creature (3/5) + Worker No. 30522 (1/5)"?
Su Xiao had killed many Violators, cleaned up Void Creatures, and dealt with Outsiders, but what was this combination of Violator + Void Creature + Worker?
Could it be that some slime from the Void fell from the sky, splattered onto a Violator and a Worker, and the three merged into one, forming such a bizarre Violator?
Although Su Xiao hadn't seen this Violator yet... no, this composite being, he could already feel a strong aura of absurdity emanating from it.
He really couldn't imagine what Violator + Void Creature + Worker equaled. Violators were sneaky every day, Void Creatures generally claimed to be high-level lifeforms, and Workers had diverse personalities.
Just as Su Xiao was full of confusion, Bubu Wang leaned over. As Su Xiao's follower, he could naturally see the world information, just not the Reincarnation Paradise prompts.
Bubu Wang clearly saw the "triple fusion" mission. His eyes widened.
"It seems... we've encountered something very strange."
Su Xiao checked the details of the Hunter Mission.
[Hunter Mission: Eliminate Violator No. 11065 (1/5) + Void Creature (3/5) + Worker No. 30522 (1/5).]
Mission Brief: Worker No. 30522 (1/5) pending.
Mission Deadline: Before leaving this derivative world.
Mission Penalty: None
Mission Reward: Gold Honor Medal × 3.
...
The mission information was also peculiar. The Violator and Void Creature needed to be eliminated, while Worker No. 30522 was pending, meaning he had to defeat the triple fusion first and then see the specific situation.
Just as Su Xiao was about to check the main mission, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
[Warning! Warning! Violator, Void Creature approaching! Tracking function activated.]
[Approaching... 900 meters... 800 meters... 700 meters... 500 meters... 300 meters... 100 meters... 150 meters... 130 meters... 200 meters... 300 meters...]
...
This series of prompts left Su Xiao a bit bewildered. This Violator seemed a bit off. Judging from its route, it was clearly charging straight at Su Xiao, but when it was 100 meters away, that thing suddenly turned around and ran? And from the prompts of 150 meters... 130 meters, after turning and running, it turned back and charged at Su Xiao again. Even more outrageous, after turning back, it seemed to regret it and continued running farther away.
This was truly a case of "acting tough and then running." Could he tolerate it? Of course not!
PS: (Two chapters today. I'm working hard on plotting and writing detailed outlines. Perhaps some readers were disappointed with the previous Hunter arc. That was because I, Feiwen, was constrained by the Yorknew framework. Now that we've reached the Chimera Ant arc, I can finally write freely.)
