Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

"Why didn't you say that earlier?!"

Swish~!

A figure flashed past Netero in a flash.

Mog sat back down in front of Chairman Netero and said with a smile, "I knew you were absolutely objective and fair, Chairman."

Netero: “…”

Is this little rascal born in the Year of the Dog?!

Netero suddenly realized that the twelve-person group he wanted to form, initially planned to be based on the twelve Earthly Branches, would be quite suitable for Mog, especially the "Dog" (戌狗).

"So, tell me, how do you want to fight? Do we fight here, or somewhere else?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Netero raised an eyebrow, looking at Mog who seemed quite eager to try.

"You seem very confident?"

"I dare not claim to be confident, after all, your strength is evident to the whole world."

Mog first made a modest remark.

then.

"However~~~".

Chapter 134 This prize, I'm in! Dodgeball!! Before worrying about me, you should worry about yourself first.

"If it was merely to force Chairman Netero to unleash his ultimate move..."

A glint flashed in Mog's eyes:

"It's not a difficult thing, or rather..."

"It's incredibly easy."

"I still feel..."

Mog looked at Netero and smiled slowly: "It was Chairman Netero who deliberately went easy on me."

Am I deliberately... going easy on them?

Netrona paused, his hand stroking his beard.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh~oh~oh."

After a brief pause, Chairman Netero let out a meaningful laugh.

"It's not difficult at all, it's not a hard thing, is it?"

"Young people today have grown up to be so capable. Is this a new era where talent is emerging in abundance?"

"I never imagined that you would say such things to an old man like me?"

"That's quite a boast."

"Back in the day, I didn't even have this kind of confidence."

"Indeed, am I really that old now? I'm no longer considered to be having much difficulty..."

Chairman Netero muttered to himself.

And after listening to his rambling...

"You may indeed be getting a bit old."

Mog then very "kindly" reminded him, "But you are still in very good health, still vigorous and healthy for your age."

"In terms of strength, you are undoubtedly the world's number one right now."

"I said this not at all to belittle you."

"But... well..."

Mog chuckled again: "I'm more confident in myself."

"Wow, do I feel more confident now?"

Netero nodded slightly: "I really like confident young people like this."

"This kind of radiant spirit, always feeling that the era belongs to them, and the ability to transform their extraordinary talent into strong strength, truly gives them a solid foundation of confidence."

"I can understand it very well."

"That's perfect. I really enjoy exchanging experiences with young people like you."

Netero slightly swayed his neck, tilting it to the left and right respectively.

It seemed to be stretching its muscles and bones.

"So, are we about to start the competition now, President?"

Mog's eyes lit up, and he asked.

Of course, the sooner the conditions are met, the better.

That way, once I become the vice president, I'll have more time to take control of the Hunter Association!

"There's no rush for things like competition."

Netero, on the contrary, was no longer in such a hurry. "Didn't you say you were confident and certain that you could force out my true strength and killing moves?"

"Based on what you've said, I'm willing to believe it, so~~~"

"It's even more unwise to have a contest on this airship."

Indeed, considering the formidable power of Netrona's [Hundred Style Kannon] and the confined space here.

This is definitely not a good place for a battle.

"However, while I'm not good at combat, I can manage some of the other mini-games."

Netero slowly stood up. "Perfect, let's consider this a warm-up before the actual battle."

A rare, subtle smile appeared on the old man's face:

"Don't worry, it's just some small activities and games~"

"Whoa~ Whoa~ Whoa!!"

Mog: "~~~~~~"

Look at Chairman Netero, you're in such a state now, and the aura that's gradually rising around you.

It's hard not to wonder if this is just some simple little activity or game.

Even if it is...

Are these little activities and games serious?!

"Really? Just some warm-up activities and games?"

Mog sensed the even more intimidating and terrifying aura emanating from Chairman Netero, which was now even more powerful than before.

His expression remained calm, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was equally composed.

"Of course you can try it out."

"However~~~"

Mog raised his head and looked directly into Chairman Netero's eyes without fear:

"Just playing around like this would be a bit too boring, wouldn't it?"

“Would you like to do something?”

"How about we all add a little prize?"

In Netero's view, Mog's dog-like face revealed a cunning, fox-like smile once again:

"If I lose, I won't mention anything about being the vice president anymore."

"Whether it's joining that twelve-person group or learning from and practicing with you, Chairman, anytime and anywhere, I have no objection."

Mog was very generous and took out his own prize first.

"Oh? Are you going to go that far?!"

Niterlo became a little more serious, and then~

Wow, these young people are so daring and courageous!

A familiar smile, familiar to Mog, appeared on Netero's lips:

"Then even though I am old, I cannot simply choose to back down."

"I'm betting on this prize!!"

That smile, as seen in Mog's eyes, seemed to foreshadow the future confrontation with the Ant King Meruem.

When she had finished performing the final move of the zeroth form of the [Hundred Styles of Guanyin], and was already in a state of utter exhaustion.

He pierced his own heart with his finger, leaving the Ant King with a smile full of human malice.

Although Mog is not yet worthy of Chairman Netero's emotions.

However, Mog also sensed that subtle yet undeniably sharp edge.

After all, he is the president of the Hunter Association and the strongest man in the world.

Of course, such pride also exists within them.

But it is precisely because of this pride that...

"Since you, a young man, are willing to place such a large bet with me, then I am not such a stingy person who can't afford to play along."

President Netero said slowly, "If you can defeat me in this competition..."

"Then I will make the decision, and you will not need to fulfill any other conditions."

"I will go against all objections and appoint you directly to the position of vice president of the Hunter Association."

Clearly, with things having progressed to this point, Chairman Netero is no longer willing to back down.

He even stopped using terms like "activity" or "game" and started describing it directly as a "competition"!
