Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 149

Captain Red Nose of the Wine Barrel thought to himself.

Well, Mog has already stated his purpose for participating in the test.

They wanted to use their hunter's license to enter many places around the world that were off-limits.

Simply put, they want the privileges that come with a hunter's license.

To Captain Red-Nosed, this didn't seem to pose any problem.

Because when Kim Freecss boarded the ship to participate in the test, the meaning he expressed was similar to that of the young man in front of him.

"I want to get a hunter's license and see the sights of this world."

Different words, but the meaning is almost exactly the same.

However, judging from their condition when they boarded the ship...

"One is a spirited yearning for the future, and the other..."

Captain Red Nose, still holding the wine lees, looked at Mogg intently once more:

"I'm just here to participate in the test, go through the motions, and get my hunter license."

"Does he already possess the ability to make his way in this world?"

"That's true. If they didn't have that kind of strength, they wouldn't have been recognized by Kim, or even know him..."

The red-nosed captain was lost in thought, pondering to himself.

There's no doubt that Mog's strength is absolutely unquestionable.

Whether it was the person who boarded the ship silently and came to his side, catching him completely off guard when they got close.

Just by standing right in front of him, Captain Red-Nosed, with his wine-stained face, felt that this person was extremely dangerous.

"Whichever it is, it shows that this young man is no ordinary person."

"He truly has the qualifications and ability to obtain a hunter's license."

As an examiner for the Hunter Association's test, Captain Red-Nosed, with his simmering wine, naturally knew what this qualification and strength represented.

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"This is getting interesting."

A shark has infiltrated the pond, making this year's hunter test particularly exciting.

"So, can you tell me something about Kim Freecss?"

Mog smiled and asked the red-nosed captain.

"Hmm? Ah, Jin? By the way, why are you so interested in knowing about Jin?"

The red-nosed captain, who had just come to his senses, asked with some curiosity.

"Of course, it's about learning about the things he did when he was young."

Mog replied matter-of-factly, "Then we'll learn from it."

Is it borrowing from others' experiences? Or is it learning from them?

It seems that when Kim made such a great name for himself, he also set an example.

Has it led so many people to start drawing inspiration from and learning from him?

Captain Rednose, who was about to nod, heard Mog say the following:

"And then put all these things together~~~"

Mog's lips curled into a smile that seemed to be filled with malice:

"That way, we'll piece together Kim Freecss's dark history."

"Next time we meet, I can make fun of him properly."

Captain Red-Nosed Wine Jar: "???"

He fell silent again.

I didn't have any other thoughts, but I suddenly felt that I might have been on the Poseidon for too long.

They are all somewhat out of touch with the times and don't understand current trends in thought.

Has fashion changed to this form now?

"If there's a lot to say about King Freecss, or if you, Captain, don't know where to begin..."

Seeing this, Mog did not hesitate to be generous.

Instead, he simply pulled out a plate of... peanuts.

"Why don't we sit down first and chat over drinks?"

"Perfect match, you have a story, and I have wine~~~"

Captain Red-Nosed Wine Jar: "~~~~~~"

"Drinking alcohol is prohibited during work hours."

The red-nosed captain coughed twice, then said in a deep voice, "And especially during the voyage."

"I am the captain, and I am responsible for the sailors, passengers, and candidates on this ship."

Captain Red Nose, the wine-dregs captain, spoke with righteous indignation and was extremely principled.

If you didn't know him, you'd think he was a very serious and strict person.

But actually.

"Don't worry, I know all the rules and regulations of the Hunter Association."

Mog, who understood the unspoken meaning in the red-nosed captain's words, chuckled:

"Then we won't drink alcohol, we'll just have some water."

As he spoke, he beckoned to one of the sailors who was looking over curiously:

"Bring us two large glasses of drinking water."

"Okay, coming right away."

The sailor was taken aback at first and subconsciously looked at the captain.

He found that his captain hadn't said a word. He scratched his head and went into the cabin.

A short while later, they came over carrying two full buckets of drinking water.

This is really just ordinary drinking water...

Captain Red Nose stared at the glass in his hand, then at Mog, and fell silent once again.

He was somewhat confused about what Mog meant.

We can't really drink this stuff and eat peanuts with it, can we?

This is just too boring...

"Come on, have a taste."

Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of Captain Red Nose.

Mog grabbed some peanuts and stuffed them into the hand of Captain Red-Nosed.

"A bite of peanut, a sip of water, and the taste is absolutely extraordinary."

Mog said this meaningfully to Captain Red-Nosed.

Peanuts with water... no matter how unusual that is, it doesn't have any other special flavor, does it?

Captain Red Nose, a man from the wine trough, was somewhat puzzled.

But since Mog had already said that, and was even looking at him with a smile, that was the case.

I couldn't help but pick up a peanut and put it in my mouth, then took a sip of water to moisten my throat.

"Regarding Kim Freecss, all I can say is... um???"

Captain Red Nose, who had just started chewing, suddenly froze.

The flavor that burst forth on his tongue made him pause and savor it again.

That's it, that's the smell...

He first looked at the drinking water in his hand, and then quickly looked at the peanuts.

Then he suddenly looked up at Mog, somewhat shocked and incredulous.

"Captain, please continue..."

Mog glanced at the peanuts again, and then a slow smile crept onto his lips:

"What happened regarding Kim Freecss?"

"What's wrong……"

Captain Red Nose, after a moment's pause, immediately understood:

"Cough cough~"

He clenched his fist, coughed lightly twice, and then said with a very serious and solemn expression:

"He's an exceptionally skilled professional hunter, and I have to tell you all about him."

Captain Red Nose, with his wine-stained skin, acted entirely in a businesslike manner, as if he were promoting himself as a professional hunter.

There, he picked up another peanut with one hand and crunched it in his mouth.

"This story begins when he was a child."

"From a very early age, every year I've sailed the Poseidon past those registration points, carrying candidates for the Hunter Exam aboard to the testing location~~~"

He deliberately pretended to be thirsty and picked up the glass of drinking water again.

"I don't know when it started, but when I was piloting the Poseidon past Whale Island..."

There will always be a figure at the port and dock, looking in my direction from a distance.

"Later I found out that the figure was a child~~~ Hoo-ha!!"
