Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Disdain for the Gift

Kevin took out several potions he had made and arranged them.

"My rapid growth is also thanks to this Nen Ability," he said with a touch of humility.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that his growth benefited from the combination of the Nen Abilities, Blank Meteor and One Moment's Dream.

The two complemented each other, allowing Kevin's strength to improve rapidly.

Next, he began to briefly describe to Bisky how his Nen Ability worked.

After listening, Bisky couldn't help but nod; it wasn't far off from her initial guess when she first saw the alchemy table.

"Kido or Sanbica would definitely like your ability."

"Who?" Kevin had no impression of these two people.

Bisky shook her head, "My friends, don't worry about it. Let's continue talking about your Nen Ability."

With that, she picked up a tube of potion Kevin had made and asked Kevin, "Are you saying that if someone else drinks the potion you make, there will be certain side effects?"

Kevin nodded.

"However, ever since I lost my memory, I haven't given anyone else the potions I've made, so I'm not sure what the specific side effects are yet.

I only know that the side effects won't be greater than the medicinal effects."

"Hmm…" Bisky pondered for a moment, then said with some surprise, "This is a bit strange. Undoubtedly, your Nen Ability belongs to the support type.

For this type of Nen Ability, the last thing that should happen is for it to cause side effects to the user."

As she spoke, she shook the potion in her hand.

Hearing this, Kevin felt inexplicably awkward.

There were indeed no side effects before, but they appeared after the original body died.

Nen after death is just this extreme and selfish.

Even after his death, the original body was not concerned with revenge on Jin, but rather wanted to continue refining interesting potions.

This selfish thought led to side effects when others used the potions Kevin made after he took over this body.

"However, I can also understand this side effect."

Although Bisky didn't explicitly say it, Kevin understood her meaning and nodded knowingly.

"In my opinion, the cost of this Nen Ability and the results obtained are not actually proportional."

As she spoke, a hint of disdain appeared on Bisky's face.

"You have to prepare the materials yourself, there's a risk of complete damage, you need professional knowledge to analyze and research, and you're forced into a 'Zetsu' state when using it. Although you haven't said it, there must be requirements for your own potential aura capacity.

Under so many restrictive conditions, the result is only this?"

As she spoke, she shook the Strength Potion in her hand again.

To be honest, Kevin didn't expect Bisky to think so little of this Nen Ability.

He had always regarded this Nen Ability as a golden finger.

So, in the eyes of a master, is this ability really that bad?

If it was before the Nen Ability was upgraded, wouldn't it have been even more looked down upon?

"Among these conditions, 'Zetsu' is a pretty serious drawback. With so many restrictions, the potion should logically achieve better results."

As she spoke, Bisky suddenly leaned closer and looked at Kevin.

"No, I have to take back what I just said. Tell me about the Enhancement-type Nen Ability you constructed yourself.

Of course, if the information about this Nen Ability is fatal, then you don't have to say it."

Bisky added a restriction.

Yun Gu had already quietly walked to the door, preparing to leave.

"Don't worry, my Nen Ability won't be targeted."

Hearing Kevin say this, Yun Gu was indeed very curious, so he silently sat back down.

Kevin then briefly explained his new Nen Ability, Blank Meteor.

After listening, Yun Gu felt that there was really nothing to hide and it was unlikely to be targeted, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Bisky looked at Kevin and nodded, reaching out to pat his shoulder.

"That's pretty good. It seems you are very clear about your strengths and have combined them very well."

Bisky seemed very satisfied.

In her opinion, Kevin's two Nen Abilities, taken individually, honestly didn't quite catch her eye.

But if the two were combined, it would be a different story.

"So, the matter you asked me to help with is whether I know the production locations or acquisition channels for some high-grade precious materials?"

"Exactly."

This was exactly what Kevin had in mind.

The foundation for his Nen Abilities to work was [materials].

As long as he had sufficiently powerful [materials], his strength could improve rapidly.

However, many [materials] couldn't be bought with just money.

Moreover, Kevin also needed to confirm whether these materials met his needs.

"Hmph hmph."

Bisky hummed twice smugly, taking two light steps.

She crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin.

"Yun Gu."

"Yes!"

Yun Gu took out a box from somewhere.

"This is my gift to you."

As a Hunter, and a Two-Star Hunter at that, Bisky's information channels and intelligence system were not to be underestimated.

She usually dedicated some of her energy to keeping an eye on Kevin's movements from time to time.

She naturally noticed Kevin's extensive spending on purchasing materials through the internet all over the world.

It was easy to guess that this was due to the needs of his Nen Ability.

"Take a look and see if it's what you need."

Kevin nodded, "It's actually a gift! You're so good to me, thank you, Princess Bisky!"

He said loudly without any reservations.

Bisky enjoyed this feeling, then asked inexplicably, "Have you… looked in a mirror recently?"

"?" Kevin muttered to himself, what kind of question is this? Does she think my appearance is gloomy?

But he still replied, "No, I… have some resistance to looking in a mirror."

"Then you'd best take a look. Maybe after you do, you won't be resistant anymore."

With that, Bisky directly took out a mirror and handed it to him.

Kevin silently took the mirror and looked into it, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly turned the mirror face down.

"This is? Is this me?" His tone was filled with disbelief.

"When I watched your match just now, I was really startled," Yun Gu said from the side.

Kevin looked at the mirror again.

He couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed.

Because the face in the mirror was extremely similar to his appearance in another world, at least seventy percent similar.

The remaining thirty percent came from the original body, which already had a good appearance, but an overly gloomy temperament.

After the two merged, Kevin had clearly become a sunny and handsome young man; his former gloomy temperament had long disappeared, and his whole being exuded a gentle and sunny aura.

He finally no longer had to force himself to admit that the unfamiliar face in the mirror was his own, like he used to.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

"Open the gift and take a look. It's a very good trophy I obtained previously," Bisky said.

Kevin nodded and opened the gift box.
