Chương 118: Beta Player

Greed Island contained too many tempting items. Favor Cushion. Anyone who sat on it would listen to one request, as long as the request did not exceed that person's ability. Gold Dust Girl. A girl who shed about five hundred grams of gold dust every day after bathing. Sleeping Girl. A girl who could sleep in your place, allowing you to stay active twenty-four hours a day without sleeping. Aromatherapy Girl.

A girl who emitted the scent most comfortable to you, relieving stress and restoring energy by staying nearby. Witch's Love Potion. A medicine that could make the target become the user's captive for a week after being fed mouth-to-mouth. Mad Scientist's Pheromones. After using it, a person could easily attract the opposite sex's attention and seduce many people with a glance. Beauty Magnet Emerald. The owner would attract large numbers of admirers and radiate dazzling charm. Swap Ticket.

Handing the ticket to a target would make it act as their substitute for twenty-four hours. As Aren reviewed the effects of those items, a bold idea took shape. That made his desire to collect every Greed Island item even firmer. At that moment, Dwun's card turned into golden light. The light rose like mist and formed an angelic blond girl with a purple jewel on her head, two rings floating beside her, and a faint glow around her body. Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform.

Support original creators! Once she appeared, the girl looked down at Dwun and asked in a gentle voice,"What is your command?" Dwun scratched his messy hair and pointed at Razor lying on the ground.

"Please heal Razor over there."

"An easy task. Allow me to heal his body." The girl breathed a pale green mist toward Razor. The visible mist turned into a soft breeze and swept across him. Razor's battered body began emitting faint golden light. In an instant, every injury on his body disappeared. Even the bloodstains and dirt seemed to have been blown away by the pale green wind. Aren's eyes narrowed. Amazing. Truly amazing. This level of healing was no longer ordinary healing.

Leaving the wounds aside, it even erased bloodstains, dirt, and other impurities. It was almost certainly a rule-based healing effect, like Eliminate. After completing the healing, the girl looked at Dwun with the same gentle expression.

"Then, farewell." She turned into a whirlwind and vanished. Razor stood up, fully healed. He lightly jumped in place twice and loosened his body. Then he looked back at Aren, who still appeared relaxed.

"Now, let's return to your issue." Aren stepped down from the lounge chair. Razor's side had grown from one person to three, but Aren's face still carried an easy smile.

"Oh? You're not getting confident just because two more people showed up, are you? Believe me, even if all of you attack together, the result will not be different from before." There was no threat in his voice. He spoke as if he were saying that one plus one equaled two. A simple fact. List and Dwun both became displeased. They did not deny Aren was strong. Defeating Razor while he had Eliminate proved that much. But Nen battles were never decided purely by battle power.

Intelligence, ability, location, and tools could all become key factors in victory. Gon's future battle with Genthru was a classic example. Gon had been far weaker, but with planning, terrain, and the giant rock, he had still won. If he had not stubbornly wanted to test his own strength first, he could have won with little or no injury. Hisoka's later deathmatch with Chrollo was another example. Chrollo controlled the conditions so completely that Hisoka barely touched him.

That was List and Dwun's understanding of ordinary Nen combat. Aren did not belong in that category. Since he first appeared, people had called him a monster. Back then, he had not fully deserved the title. After Biscuit's training, Aren had truly transformed into one. The intelligence, abilities, terrain, and tools List and Dwun considered were all factors that mattered in battles between people. Against a monster, those factors did not always work. Just as Dwun was about to speak, Razor raised a hand to stop him.

Dwun frowned, dissatisfied, but still closed his mouth. No matter what, they were teammates. With Aren, an outsider, standing in front of them, this was not the time for internal conflict. After a moment of silence, Razor looked at Aren and spoke slowly.

"No. If you only came to play the game, then as game creators, we have another option."

"The official release is still two months away."

"In that case, we formally invite you to become beta players and help us test whether any bugs remain during play."
