"Well, maybe her methods are a little unusual, and maybe she's stronger than other people, a bit better than those nobodies, but when it comes to rock-paper-scissors, she still can't beat Killua and Gon~"
In the original version, Bisky had won all the way to the final round just to decide who would enter the game first, but in the end, she still lost to Gon.
After a series of matches, the two left standing in the final round were still Killua and Gon.
At the edge of the field, Bisky looked at her own fist, and several angry veins bulged on her forehead.
Then she looked toward Gon in the middle of the field and puffed out her cheeks.
"Honestly, what the heck? It's just rock-paper-scissors. It's not like I'd actually lose!"
That was what she said, but in the end, Bisky still watched the whole thing through.
Watching Killua show off to Gon after winning, little sparkles began appearing in the eyes of the aging witch.
"A friendship this young and full of life really makes me want to ruin it! Hehehehe!"
Some distance away, the chubby second brother took off his headphones. The low laughter coming through them made goosebumps rise all over his body.
Yep, the chubby second brother was using a miniature flying bugging machine from his little backpack to keep constant watch over what was happening on the field.
Milluki really was a genius. Or rather, a terrifying monster. Aside from surveillance gadgets, he also had special bombs strapped to mosquitoes that would explode the moment they sucked blood, bombs installed inside chamber pots that would explode the moment someone relieved themselves, and food bombs hidden inside carrots, buns, and other foods...
Huh? Why did all of that suddenly sound kind of familiar?
"Whatever, it's between Killua and that spiky-haired Gon anyway. I'd better stay out of it~"
As a direct member of the Zoldyck family, Milluki had inherited the family tradition perfectly: having no friends and needing no friends.
As for Roy, that was different.
He was on another level. Practically divine.
Someone Milluki respected from the bottom of his heart. How could an ordinary friend possibly compare?!
While Milluki was busy patching things up for himself internally, far away in a dense jungle—
"Hmm~ You really look like the kind of person with no flaws." A creature with butterfly-like wings, a face like a Western angel, and a body radiating golden light circled around Roy.
Its tiny face was tightly furrowed in concentration.
"Having no flaws is the biggest flaw of all!" After circling him over and over and still failing to think of anything else to say, the creature tossed out that one line, then with a bang turned into a card.
[No. 016 — Fairy King's Advice S-6]: It kindly tells you your shortcomings, how to improve them, and offers other useful advice. Sometimes it even comes out on its own without being called, which can be a bit troublesome.
"Another S-rank card acquired~"
Roy placed the card into one of his specified slots.
Over the past few days, he had been thoroughly enjoying the experience of collecting cards.
Starting from the King White Stag Beetle, which could be obtained simply by striking the trunk of a giant tree with enough force, Roy had already collected quite a few excellent cards along the way.
Aside from the cards he had collected through the game's normal events,
Roy had also deliberately used the money he had swept up in the canyon to buy Lottery cards at the department store in Masadora. After buying out all the Lottery cards, he moved on to purchasing random spell card packs.
[Lottery G-350]: Randomly selects any one card and turns it into an item card.
Each random spell card pack, meanwhile, could randomly produce three spell cards.
To maximize the value of Lottery, Roy specifically headed to Dorias, the Gambling City, and obtained the specified-slot item card Risky Dice.
[Risky Dice B-30]: A twenty-sided die. One face is Great Misfortune, while the other nineteen are Great Blessing. If Great Blessing is rolled, good things will happen. But if Great Misfortune is rolled, then all the accumulated good fortune from the previous Great Blessings will be converted completely into misfortune.
Roy spent an entire afternoon grinding there and got a total of twelve Risky Dice.
Although the card limit for Risky Dice was thirty, the problem was that this item was extremely practical while only having a B-rank acquisition difficulty.
Because of that, many players tried to exploit Risky Dice to achieve various goals.
That was also why Roy had been able to gather twelve of them in one go.
Roy's idea was simple: use Risky Dice to open Lottery cards and obtain rare cards to the greatest extent possible.
Then, after rolling Great Blessing ten times in a row, Roy used Lottery and obtained ten different S-rank or A-rank cards, including Double Postcard to the Dead S-13, Aromatherapy Girl A-15, and Secrets Video Rental A-13.
When Roy rolled for the eleventh time, perhaps his good luck had finally run out. This time, he rolled Great Misfortune.
Crack!
Right before Roy's astonished eyes, the ground beneath his feet suddenly split open, forming a bottomless black abyss that swallowed him whole.
"For an ordinary person, this really would be terrifying and difficult to deal with." But for Roy, it was no problem at all.
He immediately burst upward with energy and flew straight out. But the moment he rose clear of the abyssal crack, Roy noticed something glittering above his head.
When he looked up, he saw that another "monster" had appeared overhead.
A meteor burning with raging flames, as if it had pierced straight through the atmosphere, came crashing directly toward Roy.
"So it's underground and the sky, huh... This really doesn't leave people any way to survive. No wonder hardly anyone uses Risky Dice repeatedly. If it were an ordinary person facing these two disasters, they'd already be dead beyond dead!"
Roy grumbled while raising one hand and firing a shock wave, blasting the meteor to pieces on the spot!
Bang!
The shattered meteor fragments sprayed in every direction, and then—
A gigantic dragon-like lizard creature suddenly burst out of the dense forest. There was a swollen lump on its head, its blood-red eyes were incomparably savage, and its whole body radiated a vicious, murderous aura. One look was enough to tell it was a boss monster.
Roy: "..."
Seriously, does this ever end?!
And also, why the hell is there a dragon-lizard in the middle of a jungle?!
Wham!
After knocking the jungle dragon into spiral eyes in just a few moves, Roy finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, in the very next moment, he saw the jungle dragon suddenly transform into a card!
