Reborn in HXH: I Plundered Infinite Traits

"Don't worry, this guy is no different from a pay-to-win whale. If there are no opponents, he'll actually feel bored."

List smiled.

"You're making it sound easy because you're not the one doing it. I'm the final boss! If I really end up being no match for him, you guys absolutely have to come save me."

Razor said with a dark expression.

As an administrator, he had naturally seen the destroyed game area through the video recording.

Although this was a so-called game world, the entirety of Greed Island actually existed on a real-world island.

If Riku could cause such widespread destruction within the game area without needing any cards, then he could absolutely do the same in the real world.

It could be said that compared to the other game administrators, Razor was like the game's firewall.

The occupation with the highest risk and greatest danger.

"Rest assured, when the time comes, you must put up a grand enough facade. You absolutely cannot let Mr. Riku realize that we intentionally let him clear the game and gave him the reward. We must give Mr. Riku the best gaming experience and the greatest sense of achievement!"

List emphasized.

His words made the corners of Razor's mouth twitch violently.

What he meant was that he had to fight a rigged match, but he couldn't let the audience or even the opponent see through it; he had to act incredibly convincingly.

Only by him being defeated in this manner would the player Riku gain the maximum gaming experience and sense of achievement.

But... damn it!

Did you guys not see Riku's terrifying destructive power?

Razor considered himself a tough guy. In the original timeline, he was even able to single-handedly expel the entire Phantom Troupe who had smuggled themselves in!

Of course, this was also because he utilized the power of the cards within the game rules, but his own strength went without saying.

But the problem now was...

The opponent had changed. Changed into a monster that might break the power limits of the entire game world.

This felt exactly like leading a lion with a thin wire; whether the opponent was willing to break the cage depended entirely on their mood.

"Brother Razor... whether the game Lord Ging left behind can continue operating smoothly depends on you."

"Yeah, Brother Razor, we're all counting on you."

"Brother Razor! Don't worry, I'll definitely back you up!"

...

Elena, Dwun, and the others spoke up one after another.

There was no helping it; among these administrators, he was the only one with true combat power.

And in reality, he was also a top-tier powerhouse.

If he didn't step up and let other administrators do it, forget about the gaming experience; they'd probably be exposed on the spot.

But to have to go this far as a game administrator was something Razor never expected in his life.

But beggars can't be choosers.

...

Soufrabi.

The final destination of the Greed Island game.

Following Riku and the others' use of the golden card, the coordinates of the final destination were directly announced to the entire world.

Many players were already in this city, but even more were rushing over from various other cities.

The 50 billion Jenny bounty, plus the rumors of cards that could be taken outside after clearing the game, were enough to drive all players crazy.

"So Soufrabi was the final destination all along. But finding the final quest will still take some effort."

"We should thank Riku and his group. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't even know this is the final destination."

"Let's quickly find the most crucial information and clear this game first before they arrive!"

"My thoughts exactly!!"

...

A massive number of players rushed from other cities to this coastal town.

This looked like just an ordinary small town, not as bustling as those large cities.

"Wow! So many people, so lively!!"

Gon and the group also arrived at Soufrabi, looking in surprise at the incredibly lively town.

Clearly, the population in this town had already far exceeded its original inhabitants; the vast majority were players who had hurried over from elsewhere after hearing the news.

"After using that card, the coordinates of the final stage have been exposed. I'm afraid we'll face quite a bit of trouble."

Killua sighed, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

"The problem now is finding the key intelligence to reach the final stage. Although the game stated this is the final stage, it didn't provide specific information."

Biscuit, with her veteran experience, looked around.

"How about we start asking door-to-door from the outermost houses? Some people might only reveal important information after multiple visits. It might take weeks with no progress, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

Killua suggested.

It truly felt like the online games from his past life; some plots even required talking to an NPC multiple times to trigger.

"Are you players also here to find the 'Patch of Shore'? I advise you to leave, otherwise, you won't have enough lives to spare."

An NPC old man, looking weathered by life, walked over and looked at the group tremblingly.

"Old man! Do you know about this final stage?"

Gon was incredibly excited.

Riku also couldn't help but look over. The design of this final stage was indeed quite interesting; it was equivalent to puzzle-solving plus a final battle.

"I don't know the specifics. If you want to gather concrete intelligence, you can go to Miss, the owner of the fish shop over there. Perhaps she can give you more information.

But I will tell you explicitly: many players have tried to find this card before, but they all ultimately died in the game. You must pay with your lives."

The old man warned.

"Thank you! We will be careful. Riku! Miss, the fish shop owner, is over there. I have a map!!"

Killua said excitedly.

The group headed straight for the fish shop.

A considerable number of players had already gathered around the shop.

"Damn it! Hurry up and tell us all the information you know about the 'Patch of Shore', or I'll smash your shop!!"

Several exasperated players stood in front of the fish shop owner and hurled abuses.

They were players originally stationed in this city, and after learning the final location, they quickly found this crucial intelligence node.

But unexpectedly... this proprietress's lips were too tight; they couldn't get anything out of her.

Even though they tried many methods, such as buying a lot of her merchandise.

The proprietress was still unwilling to reveal any information about the card, merely thanking them for their patronage.

"We can't do this. If we attack these NPCs in this city, we might violate the game rules. If we're forcibly logged out, the loss outweighs the gain. We're only inches away from the final 50 billion!"

Another player reminded them.

"Boss Miss! If we keep dragging this out, more and more people will arrive in this city. Are you intentionally trying to make the competition fiercer for us? Since you've probably achieved your goal by now, you should finally tell us the final requirements."

A player with formidable strength said in a deep voice.

Only then did proprietress Miss rest her cheek on her hand and sweep her gaze over the players.

Indeed.

Just as this player said, a massive number of players had already gathered in the city, which meant the competition could pretty much begin.

A hint of slyness flashed in the proprietress's eyes before she feigned a sorrowful expression and said, "Since that's the case, I will tell you!

It's said that somewhere in this sea area, there is an underwater cave called the 'Sea God's Rescue', and the entrance leading there is the 'Patch of Shore'. A few years ago, 15 pirates heard rumors about various treasures hidden in that underwater cave, so they came to this city.

Razor and the 14 Devils. They tortured all the fishermen in the city and anyone who knew the location of the 'Patch of Shore' to death. My father and brother were among them. If you can drive the pirates away, I will tell you. I heard my brother mention the location of the 'Patch of Shore'..."

Proprietress Miss hesitated.

The players present felt their appetites whetted, like a cat scratching their hearts.

"Fuck! Hurry up and speak! Why stop halfway?"

"Where exactly is that location? Hurry up and tell us, we'll immediately go help you kill all those pirates and devils. And save your father and brother while we're at it."

"Right! With so many of us, are we afraid of a mere dozen or so pirates? Just tell us the address, and we can help you."

...

The players present spoke up one after another.

"I'm sorry, I promised them I wouldn't tell anyone the address, unless one of you can beat me at filleting fish, but without using Nen."

Miss suddenly looked at the crowd.

"Uh..."

This sudden twist almost threw out the players' backs.

"I'll do it! Damn it! Isn't it just filleting fish? How simple is that!!"

A burly player directly rushed forward, taking the initiative to accept the challenge.

"My requirement for filleting the fish is to perfectly slice all the meat and completely extract the entire fish bone intact. Whoever finishes in the shortest amount of time wins!"

Miss's words instantly made the player's expression turn very ugly.

His combat power was indeed high, but this was his first time dealing with such fish-filleting skills; he was incredibly crude.

As expected.

The proprietress's technique was extremely skilled, perfectly filleting an entire tuna in less than a minute. But the burly man made a complete mess of the whole fish; clearly, the challenge failed.

"Oh, if the challenge fails, you must accept punishment. The punishment is being forbidden from challenging for one day."

Proprietress Miss stated.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the other players, a prohibition sign directly appeared above the burly man's head.

This meant that while everyone else could compete for the 50 billion bounty, he had to watch helplessly.

This instantly halted the steps of the other players who wanted to swarm forward and challenge her.

Because it meant that once the challenge failed, they would fall a full day's journey behind the other players.

It wasn't just here.

All over the city, various challenges, big and small, appeared.

The sole purpose of these challenges was to filter these participants because the release of information had caused the entire town to be packed with players.

Not every player had the chance to reach the final stage. Or rather, they could go, but a failed challenge required a delay; perhaps by the time they could go, the entire game would have already been cleared. The prize money would naturally have nothing to do with them.

"A fish filleting challenge? Riku, you're the best at this!! We're signing up!!"

Riku's group, having just arrived, also noticed the competition here. Gon was incredibly excited, shouting loudly and dragging Riku over.

"Oh? Are you sure? My requirement is to perfectly slice all the meat and completely extract the entire fish bone intact. Whoever finishes in the shortest time wins.

If you fail, you will be prohibited for one day. If you haven't thought it through, you might as well wait."

Proprietress Miss said calmly.

"Let's begin."

Riku directly pulled out his own filleting knife. This scene stunned the proprietress for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing on her face.

Soon, the competition between the two began. The result was without any suspense.

Riku crushed the proprietress with perfect speed.

He directly obtained the location of the final stage.

"It's here. Go in. Inside my shop, there is a teleportation portal that will take you straight there. Those who haven't passed the assessment, don't dream of forcing your way in from here. If you try, you will be forcibly logged out of the game, or even banned."

The proprietress said calmly.

"Wow! Riku is so amazing, let's go!"

Gon and the others were thrilled.

Biscuit frowned slightly, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

Riku merely took a deep look at the proprietress before directly walking into the shop.

This scene made the other players incredibly jealous.

But the price of a failed challenge was simply too heavy. This led the challengers to even start warm-up training nearby.

Meanwhile.

In the entire game's administrator chat group.

"Phew... so nervous... I almost blew my cover just now. Mr. Riku's gaze is so terrifying; I feel like he might have noticed something?"

Eta patted her chest nervously, panting.

As game administrators, they could directly manipulate those NPCs on the island because these NPCs weren't truly human, but game settings.

According to List, to maximize Riku's gaming experience, he specifically arranged these small hurdles.

Allowing Riku to better enjoy the feeling of being envied, jealous, and hated by other players, and to gain a sense of superiority in the game.

"Well done!! Just like that, don't be nervous, Eta. And everyone, the assessment threshold for subsequent players can be lowered. Try to let some reasonably strong elite players enter the final circle to add to our big shot player's gaming experience.

After all, if it's just their group in the final circle, it won't be fun!"

List directed the other administrators with a glowing red face.

Razor, also among their ranks, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He was clearly a firewall, but now he had to act as a game shill.

Life is unpredictable!
