Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits

"My... My Lord..."

The person was a young black man. Upon seeing Riku walking towards him, his expression shifted slightly, but he remained standing in place.

The others around him hurriedly made way.

Because everyone had clearly understood from the scene just now that this seemingly handsome young man was absolutely not just for show. He was a true powerhouse, to the extent that even a veteran Hunter like Tsezguerra submitted to him wholeheartedly.

Name: Abengane System Traits: [Nen Exorcist] - Gold, [Super Memory] - Purple, [Calmness] - Purple, etc.

Standing before him was the incredibly rare Nen Exorcist!

It could even be said...

The traits on this guy were even rarer than luck-based traits!

At least according to the memories and knowledge from Riku's past life, probably the only person in the entire Hunter world possessing this ability was the man standing right in front of him.

Even Chrollo, whose Nen was sealed by Kurapika in the original timeline, searched specifically for this Nen Exorcist to remove his restriction!

But right now.

Who would have thought that this guy, who was practically a unique existence in the entire world, would actually appear before Riku as an applicant.

It had to be said, fate was sometimes very peculiar.

"Hello, I am Abengane. What orders do you have for me, sir..."

Abengane appeared very composed and calm. It must be said, his Purple [Calmness] trait made him superior to the vast majority of people.

To be able to maintain such composure while facing Riku.

Riku didn't speak, merely giving a slight flick of his finger towards him.

BOOM—

Under everyone's bewildered gazes, Abengane was directly sent flying backward.

[Ding! You have defeated Abengane... 10% chance to automatically copy opponent's trait in progress...]

[Copy failed.]

[Ding! Continuous Lucky Star trait activated. Designating opponent's trait for copy. Congratulations on acquiring [Nen Exorcist] - Gold.]

A voice resembling the sounds of nature rang out in Riku's mind.

A massive amount of information flooded in subsequently.

System Trait: [Nen Exorcist] - Gold Category: Conjuration Type Ability Name: Nen Exorcism Activation Method: Before activating the Nen ability, a voodoo doll symbolizing a "Forest Spirit" is created. Then, a bonfire is lit, and through a prayer ritual (to satisfy the conditions), a Nen Beast is created utilizing the power of the Forest Spirit combined with the user's Conjuration ability. Ability Effect: The created Nen Beast can devour Nen abilities released by others, thereby preventing the Nen ability from taking effect. The size and appearance of the Nen Beast vary depending on the strength of the Nen to be removed and the malice it contains. The stronger the Nen to be removed, the larger the Nen Beast; the deeper the malice, the uglier the Nen Beast's appearance. Limitation: A definitive method to dispel the original Nen ability must be found to make the Nen Beast leave; otherwise, the Nen Beast will constantly cling to the Exorcist, never leaving their side.

"Oh? Even though it's practically a unique ability in this world, the limitations are quite troublesome. But it is indeed a bug-level ability."

Riku couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If he remembered correctly, Abengane's actual combat power wasn't high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen victim to the Bomber's trap and been implanted with a bomb.

But he utilized his Exorcist ability to remove the Nen bomb. However, this resulted in a hideous, salamander-like creature clinging to his body, forcing him to cover himself with clothing while walking.

Nevertheless, he was one of the few members of the G.I. Clearance Team to survive the Bomber's treachery.

Moreover.

One must remember that the core power in the Hunter world was Nen!

Abengane's ability was essentially the complete antithesis of this world—a true BUG!

"My... My Lord!?"

The sudden attack startled even Tsezguerra. Thinking he had inadvertently recruited a spy, he hurriedly rushed over.

"Oh? No, I mistook him for someone else. Give him ten million Jenny as compensation."

Riku glanced at Abengane, who was awkwardly scrambling to his feet in the distance, and spoke calmly, clearly having no intention of explaining further.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Tsezguerra hurriedly complied.

Abengane, however, was completely dumbfounded. He had just taken a fall, yet directly received ten million Jenny. This was simply... a windfall from heaven!

"Holy shit! Ten million Jenny! My Lord, hurry up and hit me! My skin is thick and tough, I can take a beating. Just 5 million is enough!"

"I'll take one million!"

"I'm dying of jealousy!"

"Why wasn't I the one who got hit?"

...

This scene made the others present incredibly red-eyed with envy.

Their purpose for being here was to get the bounty money, but the money just earned was simply too fucking easy.

"Thank you... but there's no need for the money. It was just a misunderstanding, My Lord, please don't mind it."

Abengane snapped back to his senses and gave a slight bow to Riku.

"Oh?"

Riku couldn't help but take another look at the guy. He had to admit... this guy knew how to navigate the world!

"Alright, if he says he doesn't want it, then so be it. You handle the arrangements, Tsezguerra."

Riku said casually.

"Yes, My Lord!"

Tsezguerra stood ramrod straight like a student called upon by a teacher, his voice incredibly respectful.

He had already obtained all the information regarding Riku.

The youngest Two-Star Pro Hunter in history.

This status alone was absolutely enough to look down upon the masses. Not to mention the astonishing oppressive force Riku had just displayed, which made him admire Riku with utter prostration.

Even in front of everyone, he adopted the etiquette of a subordinate toward Riku.

"Everyone, according to our agreement, if the game is successfully cleared, everyone will receive a reward of 50 billion Jenny. You can see the details in the contract. Additionally, we will be leaving Yorknew City at 5 PM today!

Before departure, please review and sign the contract. Once you are ready, please gather at the central exit of the Tarsheed Auto Show!"

Tsezguerra brought out copies of the contract and distributed them to everyone, then respectfully handed a copy to Riku's trio.

Unlike the contracts given to the others, the contract Riku's trio received was considerably thinner, and its clauses naturally lacked the cumbersome details of the others.

Furthermore, it explicitly stated that the billionaire Battera promised a reward of 100 billion Jenny upon clearance, with virtually no other additional restrictive conditions.

It could be described as exceedingly generous.

The contract the other players received was essentially an indentured servitude contract, whereas the one Riku's trio received... was practically an employer's contract.

Kurapika and Leorio had already bid their farewells; they didn't have much interest in this game.

Dalzoll and the others were even more aware that their strength was insufficient to join such a dangerous activity, so they very tactfully chose to say goodbye as well.

Melody left Riku her number, and Basho asked for his as well.

Inside the train station.

The billionaire Battera had directly chartered an entire train. After a journey of several hours, the group arrived outside an ancient castle.

Under Tsezguerra's guidance, after twisting and turning through several corridors, they finally entered a basement.

What greeted their eyes were densely packed gaming consoles holding the game cards.

It had to be said, this billionaire Battera was truly wealthy. Each gaming console with a card was worth nearly ten billion. Looking across the room, the scale here was worth hundreds of billions!

"Everyone! Before we begin, I would like to add a supplementary explanation. The game software is not isolated; in other words, regardless of which console you enter from, your final destination will be the same!

You can think of it as a fantasy space akin to an online game that can be accessed from all over the world! Next, I will distribute the memory cards. Once inserted, you can start the game. But first, you must decide the order of entry.

Upon entering the game, there will be a system explanation, but players must enter sequentially to hear it. Furthermore, after entering the game, distribution is random. Even if we are on the same team, our landing spots might not be together.

You might appear in an extremely dangerous place, or a safe one, so everyone must be mentally prepared..."

Tsezguerra explained.

For the people of this world, this thing was far too novel.

Because the concept of PC online games had just begun to emerge in the Hunter world; they were essentially at the embryonic stage of the internet, still stuck in the PC phase.

But for Riku, as a transmigrator, these concepts were entirely familiar. He had even heard of AR games, full-dive VR games, and various others.

Put simply, this game world was essentially a brain-computer interface game like Sword Art Online, except people actually died inside, and it utilized a Nen interface.

"As for the order, Mr. Riku and his two companions will naturally have priority... The order for everyone else will be decided by Rock-Paper-Scissors! That's the fairest way!"

Tsezguerra glanced at Riku's group, then addressed the crowd.

The other players present raised no objections.

After all, in this world, whoever had the biggest fist had the final say. Everyone had already witnessed that Riku's fist was undeniably the biggest.

"Riku!"

Gon and Killua also looked at Riku, because the three of them would be the first batch of players to enter the game.

The other players also looked towards Riku's direction with intense curiosity.

After all, a game like this was unprecedented.

"Mm, you guys go first. Use the ring you obtained to log in. I'm fine going after."

Riku nodded.

Because Gon had obtained relevant game information left behind by his father, and upon logging in, he would receive certain special prompts.

"Alright!"

Gon nodded, and the three stood in front of three gaming consoles.

Riku let Gon and Killua go first. After all, in a trio, the strongest covers the rear.

After Gon and Killua triggered their Nen abilities in front of the respective machines, their figures instantly vanished from the spot.

Riku also stood in front of a gaming console. With a slight shift in his thoughts, his Nen ability interfaced with it!

Hum~~~

In that instant, a peculiar fluctuation enveloped Riku. Somewhere unseen, a powerful energy seemed intent on swallowing him whole.

The aura within Riku's body automatically resisted it, actually resulting in a temporary inability to log in.

Realizing this situation might occur, Riku directly suppressed the resistance of his aura. In the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile.

Inside the G.I. Greed Island Game World.

At the exact moment Riku logged in, a slight fluctuation seemed to occur.

This fluctuation wasn't obvious and went unnoticed by all the players, but it truly existed.

Game Starting Login Area.

A beautiful young girl wearing a peculiar headset and a camisole had just sent off Gon and Killua, and even played the message left by Gon's father for him.

Telling Gon to enjoy himself to the fullest in this game, and explicitly telling his son that he wouldn't find any clues about him in this game.

This game was merely Ging's way of showing off to everyone.

But he also reminded him that he had to obtain a certain item to leave this game.

This left Gon feeling somewhat depressed, but he still decided to continue.

Killua didn't receive such treatment; he merely received some beginner guide information before being sent off.

Next, naturally, was Riku.

This peculiar fluctuation... made Elena, the beginner receptionist, very surprised.

Because the alarm here had just sounded for about a second!

This was almost entirely impossible since the game's inception. Such a thing had never happened before; an alarm sounding while the game was running was highly abnormal.

But this alarm only lasted a brief second before returning to normal. Even she, as one of the Game Masters, couldn't investigate it; she didn't find any trace of rule violations.

It was as if everything had returned to normal.

"Could it be... there was just a minor glitch, and the system automatically repaired it?"

Elena's eyes widened, slightly bewildered.

In her field of vision, the figure of a player was slowly materializing in the starting area before her.

Riku naturally saw the surroundings clearly as well.

Impressively, he was inside a peculiar space with a cyberpunk feel, full of futuristic sci-fi aesthetics.

It had to be said, Ging Freecss was truly quite outstanding compared to his contemporaries.

Because while people of this era were still stuck at the level of PC networks, they had already developed this kind of brain-computer interface game. It was indeed worthy of praise.

"Uh? This player... did this player arrive one second late? During that one second, the system sounded an alarm. Could it have been caused by this player? Why does he look so ordinary, not much different from other players?"

Elena looked at Riku with a puzzled expression.

As the beginner guide of the game, she had stayed in this world for many years and seen many players. But from beginning to end, there had never been a single malfunction, let alone something like an alarm.

Therefore, she couldn't help but take a few extra looks at the young man before her.

However, the opponent's gaze also seemed to be fixed on her, and it felt somewhat... intense.

Riku was currently very surprised, even pleasantly so.

He stared straight at Elena, exactly as if looking at an unexpected treasure chest.

And a multicolored treasure chest at that.

Name: Elena

System Traits: [Omniscient Monitor] - Gold, [Affinity] - Gold, [Super Memory] - Gold, [Loves Sweets] - Purple, [Loves Beauty Sleep] - Purple, etc.
