Chapter 245： struggling

Chapter 245 Difficulty

It took    three days for the mast boat named "Elen" to finally arrive off the coast of Porter Island.

During the three-day voyage, the Ellen was attacked by pirates twice.

Moyu was ready to help, but he didn't need his help at all, and the crew of the Ellen easily repulsed the pirates.

Their tacit cooperation and skillful methods were all seen by Moyou.

Presumably for this crew, dealing with pirates has become commonplace.

What surprised Moyu was that the captain, who had basically never shown his face after he got on the ship, was actually a psychic who did not reveal the landscape.

The reason why the crew members were able to repel the pirates safely was mainly because the captain took action to calm the scene.

Moyu watched from the sidelines at that time, and thus saw the strength of the captain. He is undoubtedly a senior minder who is proficient in advanced mind skills.

You can meet a master just by taking a boat trip, which inevitably made Moyou have a wonderful feeling that "there are actually many people with the ability to read".

On the sea, a mast boat rides the waves.

"In about an hour or so, we can reach Porter Island."

Asked about the voyage information from a middle-aged sailor, Moyu looked at the blue sea horizon ahead.

The five continents and various archipelagos of the Hunter World are actually highly similar to the continental plates of the previous life, and even in terms of culture, there is a sense of "same origin".

This point can be seen from the ninja culture of Port Island and even the local specialties such as sushi.

Moyu is still a little curious about the upcoming Porter Island.

But he will focus on Lin Wanji swinging his sword, I am afraid that he will not have time to travel in the country of Hanzo.

And according to the crew members, the residents of Port Island are very xenophobic, and the whole country has a tendency of "closing the country".

"It's almost there."

Men Qi handed Moyou a plate of freshly sliced ​​sashimi as thin as cicada wings, and said weakly, "Sailing or something is more boring than I thought."

In these three days, Men Qi was also very excited on the first day, holding a fishing rod to catch some fish that had never been cooked before.

But after the freshness passes, there is no excitement of capturing new ingredients.

This made her eager to go ashore and go to Potter Island to find ingredients she had never seen before.

Moyu took the sashimi and smiled: "I heard from the crew that there is no place to land on Potter Island on the voyage route, so they will send us there by boat."

"It's so troublesome to listen to."

After    handed the sashimi to Moyu, Menqi lowered his head and packed up the kitchen utensils.

Moyu picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in his mouth, and said softly: "The trouble is the return trip, maybe you won't find a boat to leave."

Men Qi didn't really care.

For her, as long as she cultivates and grows with Moyu, it doesn't matter where she is.

after an hour.

The Ellen arrives offshore of Porter Island.

The crew left a small boat and then motioned for Moyou and Menqi to get ready to board.

Just then, the captain of the Ellen suddenly came over.

"The old man sent them there."

"what?"

Hearing the words of his own captain, several crew members standing on the side of the ship looked at each other.

It was the first time they saw their captain take the initiative to send people to the island.

"You two, keep up."

The captain ignored the surprised reaction of his crew, made a follow-up gesture to Moyu and Menqi, and then landed on the boat directly along the zipline.

Moyou and Menqi looked at each other, and immediately jumped into the boat.

The captain glanced at them, picked up the oars, and rowed the boat to the beach not far away.

"Why did you go to Potter Island?"

As the boat rowed a distance, the captain suddenly asked.

Men Qi heard the words and almost blurted out that she was going to practice.

Holding back her silence at the last moment, she turned to look at Moyu.

Moyou shook his head helplessly, then looked at the captain and said calmly: "I heard that Porter Island has many delicious ingredients that are not even found in other continents. We are very interested in this aspect."

“…”

The captain heard the words and said nothing.

Soon, the boat washed up on the beach against the waves.

The captain stood at the bow, silently watching Moyou and Menqi.

"thanks."

Moyou thanked him, then led Menqi to jump onto the beach and walked towards the forest in the distance.

The captain looked at their distant backs, and suddenly said: "The old man's ship will pass by here once every half a month, and the time is about the same as now."

“…”

Moyu looked back at the captain in surprise, but saw that the other party had turned and pushed the boat into the sea.

It seems that there is no need to worry about the return trip.

stopped, and Moyu watched the captain of the Ellen leave.

When the boat was far away, Moyou took his eyes back, crossed the beach with Menqi, and walked straight into the dense forest.

After walking for a distance in the forest, Moyou found that the trees here are amazingly growing and luxuriant, and it seems that few humans have set foot here.

Wright is right, this place is filled with a strong breath of life.

After walking in the forest for about two hours, Moyu and Menqi found a suitable spot near the waterfall.

For the next three months, they will all start their practice here.

After confirming the temporary residence, Moyou was not in a hurry to activate the effect of Ling Wanji swinging the sword.

He intends to start after midnight.

Night falls.

At midnight, the bright moon hangs high.

Moyou stood on the edge of the waterfall, holding an ordinary long knife.

"Consumption Pro, 10,000 Swings"

Close his eyes tightly, Moyou chose Lin Wanji to swing the knife deep in his consciousness.

From this moment on, he will complete the standard 10,000 swings every day.

"let's start…"

Moyou slowly opened his eyes, raised the knife above his head with both hands, and immediately slashed forward.

Accompanied by the slight sound of breaking through the air, a sword light flashed in an instant, and the tip of the long sword was suspended above the ground.

The    action was completed, but the count in the depths of consciousness did not change.

This shows that the action of swinging the knife is not up to the standard.

"Too soon..."

Moyu withdrew the knife, slowed down a little, and immediately swung forward again.

This time, the depth of consciousness started to count.

「1/10000」

"A swing of the knife is about 4 to 5 seconds, that is to say, it takes about 14 hours to complete 10,000 swings of the knife, provided that each swing of the knife must meet the standard."

While thinking about it, Moyou waved his sword again.

It is necessary to ensure that every swing of the knife can meet the standard as much as possible, otherwise it is very likely to fail due to insufficient time.

Then, Moyou swung his sword down ten times, but only six times met the standard.

"It doesn't seem that easy."

Moyu cheered up and swung every knife seriously.

About twenty-one hours passed.

Moyou didn't eat or drink, and he didn't rest in the middle of the journey, so he swung for 21 hours in a row to complete the 10,000-time punch-in task on the first day.

The whole process can be described as difficult.

But because of this, Moyu is looking forward to the results and rewards three months later.

Men Qi came down all day, basically watching Moyou swing the knife.

She didn't know why Mo Yu wanted to practice the sword suddenly, and the first day of practice was to swing the sword for 21 hours without interruption...

The apparent concentration when swinging the sword prevented Men Qi from intervening.

All kinds of delicious food prepared with local materials and carefully prepared can only be put aside to cool down.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Men Qi finally saw Moyou stop swinging the knife and sat down very tired.

"Master, drink water."

Men Qi saw this and walked quickly to Moyou with a glass of water.

Mo You was slightly startled, put the long knife beside him, took the water that Men Qi handed over, and drank it.

It lasted about 21 hours, and there was no specific count of how many times the knife was swung.

According to a rough estimate, it should be more than 15,000 times.

Before    began, Moyu had foreseen that the process would be difficult.

But I didn’t expect it to take twenty-one hours on the first day.

"When the proficiency is high, the time should be reduced to about fourteen hours."

Moyu put down the water glass, feeling the difficulty of swinging the knife ten thousand times, and looking forward to the unknown reward three months later.

Sometimes, maybe something directly on the table can arouse people's motivation to pursue.

But the unknown ahead can actually arouse people's sense of expectation.

Moyu doesn't know what he will get in three months, but he doesn't worry about it either.

Before receiving the reward, he will concentrate on doing 10,000 sword swings every day.

"Master, I'll go and prepare food for you now."

Looking at Moyun's tired face, Men Qi put away the water glass and said quickly.

Moyou shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome."

said, he pointed to the eaters by the campfire.

"Isn't there a ready-made one?"

"But Master, those meats are already cold..."

"It doesn't matter, I don't want to waste every dish you cook for me."

The rest time left for Moyu is less than three hours. If Menqi gets to eat again, then he should not need to sleep.

It was just a word he said casually, but it caused a ripple in Men Qi's heart.

“…”

Men Qi's heart beat a little faster, seeing Mo You insisted so, he could only obediently take the meat and then pour another glass of water.

Moyu was thirsty and hungry now, and he was burying his head in scavenging the delicacies carefully prepared by Menqi.

"good to eat…"

Moyu slurped his words while gulps.

Men Qi immediately had a smile on her face, and sat on the ground, with her arms around her legs, her cheeks resting on her knees, her head tilted slightly, and she quietly looked at Moyou, who was eating meat.

If you want to become a good food hunter, it is not just to discover all kinds of rare ingredients that exist in the unknown.

This sense of satisfaction right now…

is what I want too.

Men Qi thought quietly in her heart.

The bright moonlight fell on her body, exuding a hazy brilliance.

It's hard to imagine that this girl who was so impatient and aggressive in the original book would also have such a quiet side.

In the dark in the distance.

A pair of Gujing Wubo's eyes were also quietly watching Moyou and Menqi.

After seeing this picture under the moonlight, there was a trace of nostalgia in these eyes that seemed to have experienced a long time.

Three hours later.

midnight.

Moyu finished resting and started swinging his sword.

「1/10000」

A new round of 10,000 sword swings begins again.

Men Qi opened her eyes when she heard the movement, and looked at Moyou who had started cultivating again.

Then she looked down at the waterproof watch on her wrist, and the hands stopped at zero.

"Master only rested for three hours..."

Men Qi was very surprised and asked, but seeing that Moyou was already in a state, it was not easy to disturb him.

"I can't slack either."

Men had an inexplicable mood, and Men Qi got up from the ground.

Moyu's hard work made her feel a sense of distance.

In order to avoid having to watch her master's back go away in the future, Men Qi realized that she had to work harder than her own master.

She quietly got up and started her daily practice.

Time passes, the sun rises and sets.

It was night again in the blink of an eye.

In the second round of swinging the knife, Moyu still used it for about twenty-one hours.

It’s just that the fatigue that hasn’t been eliminated from last night has accumulated to this day, making Moyu even more tired now.

Men Qi saw it, and felt that no matter what kind of practice, it should be done gradually, instead of being so hard at the beginning.

But she didn't ask Mo You why she worked so hard. Instead, she was like a good wife and good mother, ready to eat a lot when Mo You was exhausted.

followed by Day 3, Day 4, Day 5…

Time flies by, and soon a month has passed.

After 10,000 swings of the sword for a month, Moyu changed from "21 hours" at the beginning to "15 hours" now.

And the movement of swinging the knife is becoming more and more standard and stable.

For a few days, I didn’t even make any mistakes, and it was perfect for the standard 10,000 swings.

After this state becomes stable, you can try to speed up the speed of each swing.

"Call..."

After completing today's 10,000 sword swings, Mo You let out a long sigh and looked at the waterfall in front of him.

Despite being tired, there is an indescribable sense of tranquility.

It was only a month of perseverance, and Moyou suddenly didn't care about the unknown rewards after three months.

On the contrary, an idea of ​​how long he can persist.

If we go all the way to the end like this...

What will the scenery be like waiting for you?

Moyou's thoughts turned, and he quietly stared at the falling white spray.

"Two months to go..."

"But I'm actually starting to worry that this day is coming too soon."

Moyou laughed and shook his head slightly.

"Master, come here, today is fresh mushroom soup."

Men Qi's opening meal came at the right time.

Now she has roughly figured out when Moyu finished swinging his sword.

So I can always serve hot and delicious food for Moyou who just finished his practice.

"coming."

Moyu walked over, and naturally took a bowl of soup with a strong umami from Men Qi's hand.

"Men Qi, have you made up your mind?"

Moyou held the soup and looked at Menqi under the light of the fire.

He is asking about the development direction of the ability.

"Um."

Men Qi nodded, she was always smiling in front of Moyou, she said slowly:

"I have seriously considered Master's suggestion. If it can give food a new possibility without affecting the 'taste', then I am willing to work hard for it, but... I have no confidence."

"Menqi."

Moyou smiled and said softly: "You are the youngest star food hunter in the future. If it is you, it will be fine."

“…”

Men Qi heard the words and glanced aside in a panic.

Her face was flushed, but it was covered by the reflected firelight.

Pour Qi into food to give various buffs…

…

Sky Arena.

The name of the tumbler Hisoka resounds in this fighting paradise.

From the beginning of the battle and the appearance of never giving up, to the powerful strength shown as the landlord today.

Countless spectators at the Sky Arena witnessed the process.

Fantastic, Tumbler Siso!

This is the inner portrait of countless viewers who have become fans of Hisoka.

So—

Whenever Hisoka appeared in public, he could always hear the respectful "Tumbler" shouting from fans.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Ke Xisuo felt that this "crown" was too heavy.

But in order to wait for "that day" to come, Hisoka is willing to endure all this.

"It's been a month..."

Hisoka stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the upper room, staring at the sky in the distance.

His figure looks quite like "looking through the autumn water"...
