Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

I reckon this is a statement related to food.

It means you have a lot of experience.

Mog gave a casual explanation, and then withdrew his gaze from the entire arena and the examinees.

Well, apart from the Dongba deity, there wasn't a single other familiar face.

Yes, like the Hunter Exam of the future, but that won't happen until twelve years later.

During this period, people like Pokokur might not even have grown their hair yet.

Moreover, those people wouldn't be like the Great God Dongba, participating in the test for over a decade at a time.

It can be said that the Dongba deity has been a constant presence in the lives of many people.

"A compliment?! I don't deserve it~~~"

Although intuitively, the meaning of these two words doesn't seem to be that simple.

However, the Dongba deity still pretended to be very humble on the surface.

"If there's anything you don't understand or don't get clear about since this is your first time taking the Hunter Exam, feel free to ask me."

He patted his chest, making himself appear very magnanimous:

"I may not have much else, but I have plenty of relevant experience."

"I can definitely offer you some help."

His honest and simple appearance, combined with his gentle smile, makes it really easy for people to let their guard down.

Even Mog gave a very fair assessment of this:

"Her acting skills are indeed very good~~~"

Chapter 119 The Hunter Exam Officially Begins! Examiner Nob! Operation Delta Force!!

"Ok??"

As soon as Mog said that, Dongba's expression became somewhat tense.

“I have some friends who have all taken the hunter test.”

"And each time, they run into someone."

Mog said leisurely, "【Newcomer Killer】Dongba, square nose, short stature, lewd old man with a simple and honest smile, that's his standard look."

"Now it seems..."

Mog nodded slightly to Dongba, "That description is quite apt and vivid."

Dongba: "..."

So his past is already starting to spread?!

Is he really that famous?!

That shouldn't be the case. Only a few hundred people can come here to participate in the Hunter Exam each year.

These people either failed during the test or were eliminated, and will try again next time.

Does this new 404-related person have any friends?

Which friend is so loyal as to inform me of the precautions for the Hunter Exam beforehand?!

Shouldn't everyone who comes to take the test see each other as competitors?!

The Dongba deity couldn't help but complain inwardly, almost bursting into a tirade.

Who would be so foolish and stupid as to reveal such important information to the other side?

You think you have a high chance of passing the test?!

Unless~~~

They only have no such concerns because they have already passed the test and become official professional hunters.

Upon thinking of this, the Dongba deity fell silent again.

If that's the case, then having a professional hunter as a friend would be wonderful...

Without leaving a trace, the great god Dongba moved away from Mog.

This is clearly a guy who's not someone to mess with.

He was able to participate in the Hunter Exam at the age of ten, and in this test where his life was always in danger.

They have survived unharmed to this day, and may even live for another ten years or more.

That's all thanks to his extremely keen sense of smell, which allows him to detect danger in a timely manner.

Now, whether it's true or false, I've already been exposed.

So~~~~~~

"It's better to stay away from this guy."

The Dongba deity silently distanced himself from Mogra.

"Is there such a dangerous warning?!"

Mog watched this scene with a sense of awe at the Dongba God's caution.

No wonder he survived so many Hunter Exams.

Even though Killua participated in the Hunter Exam twice more, he survived unscathed.

In this respect, he is truly no ordinary person.

"I wonder what kind of Nen he would awaken and develop his Nen abilities, and what the effects would be."

Such a thought flashed through Mog's mind, but it was just a fleeting thought.

He didn't have the leisure or inclination to do such a good deed for the Dongba God.

Moreover, with his arrival, this year's Hunter Exam is about to begin.

He might be the last candidate to arrive here to take the exam.

After Mog arrived, no other candidates came.

Half an hour passed like this.

"Alright, time's up."

In the increasingly silent factory, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and raised their heads.

At the very top of the factory, a figure was standing on the hook of a crane.

"Hunter Test, 275th, test taker number 404."

After he finished speaking, it was announced that the registration for this Hunter Exam was now closed.

Everyone present looked at that figure.

Mog was no exception, and...

"It's another familiar face."

Standing atop the crane's hook was a man dressed in a black suit and wearing a light blue tie.

With his slicked-back hair gleaming, he looked every bit the successful man.

"I am the examiner for the first round of the Hunter Exam. My name is Nobu."

One of the members of the future Chimera Ant extermination team, accompanying Chairman Netero to NGL to exterminate the Chimera Ants.

Nob, who possessed the special Nen ability [Four-Dimensional Apartment], adjusted his glasses and introduced himself casually.

"Alright, all the candidates who have come here to participate in the formal test have already passed the tests of the examiners and guides."

"Furthermore, before coming here to participate in the test, you must have already learned about the relevant rules for participating in the Hunter Exam..."

Nob paused deliberately for a moment after saying this.

Seeing that no one spoke, he nodded and continued:

"So they are all prepared to pay the price with their lives, so I won't say anything more."

"Now, the first round of testing... is about to begin."

At this point, the test takers, who had been scattered across various locations, finally looked up.

Everyone stared at Nob, their bodies tensing up.

"As you can see, the place you are in right now is an abandoned factory."

"And this factory was built around a desert."

“Around here, there is an abandoned dam, as well as military camps, power plants, cement plants, construction sites, and so on.”

"There are still many supplies left over from before in these areas."

“We have already marked the corresponding price on each item of supplies.”

"What you need to do is to gather enough supplies that meet the requirements in this place, and find a way out to successfully leave this place."

"There is more than one exit from here. We will have staff waiting for you at the exits."

"Customs clearance requirements..."

At this point, Nob raised his index finger:

"It's one million."

"Bring supplies worth one million or more to the departure point."

"You have 24 hours; you have one day to gather supplies."

"The moment I press the alarm clock, it means the timer has officially started."

Nob pulled out a small pocket watch: "This also signifies that the Hunter Test has officially begun."

He paused for a moment, then adjusted his glasses again, looked at the many examinees below, and said calmly:

"Just a friendly reminder, the amount of supplies you collect in this stage will be used as the basis for your next round of testing."
