Chapter 94

This little incident, though it made many people's hearts race, did not cause chaos. After all, the Hunter Exam was accompanied by death, and it wasn't strange for half the participants to die during one exam. The unfortunate soul who lost both arms due to colliding with Hisoka merely withdrew from the exam early, and it wasn't worth making a big fuss over.

Soon, he was carried out by the exam venue staff.

"What were you thinking? Talking to someone like that!" As Tang Cheng walked back, Tang Ya immediately whispered in reprimand, "Don't you know who he is?"

"Hisoka the Magician, so what?" Tang Cheng shrugged and countered.

"So what?" Tang Ya felt her brain couldn't keep up. Although she hadn't watched the entire "Hunter x Hunter" series, she knew a bit about it. She had heard of the notorious pervert Hisoka in the ACG world, and she believed Tang Cheng knew even more. "He's a super pervert who kills without blinking. If you approach him unprepared, what if he goes crazy and kills you?"

"So what?" Tang Cheng looked at her helplessly. He couldn't understand why she always made a big deal out of trivial matters. "What does it matter?"

"Uh!" Tang Ya was stunned. Right, she almost forgot that the man in front of her was also a super pervert, not inferior to Hisoka. How could someone like him care about such things? She was just talking to a cow.

Forget it, at least Hisoka didn't make a move... Thinking about it, Tang Ya decided not to say anything more.

Then, Tang Ya looked at the number plate with "406" hanging on her chest and asked, "How many people are participating in this Hunter Exam?"

"Let me think..." Tang Cheng tilted his head and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Not counting us, there were 405 people in the original plot. Adding us three challengers makes it 408."

"So, the other challenger is 407." Tang Ya looked at the "408" number plate on Tang Cheng's chest and said so. Then she started searching the crowd for 407 but unfortunately didn't find him.

"I wonder if that challenger is a friend or an enemy..." Tang Ya's tone was somewhat worried.

Friend or enemy? It didn't matter to Tang Cheng, so he didn't care at all.

"Would you like some juice?" At this moment, a short, middle-aged man with a kind and friendly appearance suddenly appeared in front of them, holding two cans of juice and said kindly, "Hello, my name is Doba. It's your first time participating in the Hunter Exam, right? I can tell you're a bit nervous. If you don't mind, have some juice to relieve the pressure."

Tang Ya instinctively frowned. She always had a sense of caution towards such unexpected kindness.

But before she could refuse, Tang Cheng had already taken one of the juice cans, opened it, and drank it all, then returned the empty can to the man, saying, "Thank you."

Is it okay?

Tang Ya was slightly stunned. She thought that with Tang Cheng's intelligence, he wouldn't be careless with strangers, and he was familiar with this world. Since he dared to drink it, the juice must be fine... She must have been overthinking it.

So, Tang Ya also thanked Doba and reached for the juice.

But just as she was about to open it, Tang Cheng said, "You'd better not drink it. The juice has a strong laxative in it."

"Ah?" Tang Ya was shocked.

"No, no, that's not true!" Doba waved his hands frantically. "I was just being kind, why would I put a laxative in the juice..."

"Doba, you've participated in the Hunter Exam 35 times since you were ten, and 30 times you stayed for the formal exam." Tang Cheng interrupted with a smile before Doba could finish. "But your purpose in participating in the Hunter Exam isn't to become a Hunter. It's to sabotage the new candidates, making them lose their qualifications in despair, to experience supreme pleasure. So far, countless new candidates have been harmed by you. Am I right, Newbie Killer Doba?"

"You..." Doba was completely speechless.

"Is that so, you bastard!" Tang Ya's face turned red with anger, and she threw the juice can at Doba, hitting him on the head, causing him to bleed and scream.

"Alright, I was wondering, it turns out you were pretending to be kind to harm us. If not for Gon's keen senses, we would have been out of the exam by now. You bastard, come here, I promise not to kill you!" At the same time, Leorio, who had heard Tang Cheng's words, rolled up his sleeves and ran over angrily.

Doba, frightened, quickly covered his head with his hands, but Leorio didn't manage to hit him. Before he could act, Gon and Killua had already held him back.

"Never mind, we didn't drink the juice anyway."

"Yeah, Leorio, let him go."

Seeing this, Doba immediately ran far away, and Leorio had no choice but to give up.

Then, Gon ran up to Tang Cheng and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Gon, Gon Freecss."

Gon was very friendly and could quickly get along with anyone. Although Killua and Leorio were more cautious, as long as Tang Cheng didn't go crazy, he seemed harmless on the surface. Plus, he had exposed the Newbie Killer Doba's scheme, which built some goodwill. After a brief introduction, both sides got to know each other.

"Big Brother Tang Cheng, you knew Doba's juice had a laxative, why did you drink it?" After getting to know each other, Gon immediately asked curiously.

When Gon said this, Tang Ya and Killua looked at Tang Cheng with puzzled eyes.

"Because I'm immune to all poisons," Tang Cheng answered matter-of-factly.

The others were half-believing, half-doubting, but Gon had no doubt and admired him, "That's amazing!"

For a while, the group chatted casually. Tang Ya was relieved that Tang Cheng hadn't shown any signs of going crazy and seemed normal. She took the opportunity to ask Gon and the others about this world, gaining more understanding.

Originally, she could have asked Tang Cheng about this world, but she was a bit worried about him. For example, with the juice, a normal person wouldn't drink it knowing it had a laxative, and she almost drank it too.

As the waiting time passed, after about ten minutes, a sudden, urgent bell rang from the opposite stone wall. Everyone looked over and saw the stone wall slowly rise, revealing a man with a funny mustache and dressed as a bar waiter. Behind him was an endless darkness extending to the other end of the tunnel.

"Thank you for waiting," the mustachioed man said expressionlessly, "The registration for the Hunter Exam is now closed. The exam will officially begin, but I must warn you that casualties can occur at any time during this exam. If you are prepared for this, follow me. Otherwise, take the elevator behind you to leave."

After saying this, the mustachioed man turned and walked forward in a stiff and strange manner.

Behind him, the 407 candidates immediately followed.

Although the mustachioed man's steps were strange, his speed was surprisingly fast. At first, everyone could keep up by walking, but gradually, everyone had to run to keep up.

"Perhaps I should have said this earlier..." He suddenly spoke, "I am the examiner for the first round, Satz. I will now lead you to the venue for the second round."

"Second round? What about the first round?" someone asked curiously.

"The first round... has already started," the examiner slightly turned his head. "No matter what method you use, as long as you can follow me to the venue for the second round, that is the question for the first round."

At this point, all the candidates understood. This was a test of endurance, but at the same time... looking at the seemingly endless road ahead, some understood even more... not knowing the endpoint or the distance, this was also a test of mental and willpower.

...

Today, a reader asked me how many female leads there are in this book. I told him: There are as many female leads as there are patrons. Do you think I'm very clever? Also, let the recommendation votes come more fiercely.
