Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 16

Mog snapped his fingers lightly and laughed.

He was just thinking that his stock of these [plant modification agents] was running low, and he didn't know if he would have a food supply in the days to come.

As a result, these two people came to our doorstep and we had a new "commission".

That means there's a lot more inventory now.

"However, there is currently a problem~~~"

Mog raised his head, sensing the movement around him:

"You two were talking a bit too loudly just now; it seems quite a few people heard you."

Um? ! !

Phinks and Uvogin both pricked up their ears, and then they could faintly hear some footsteps approaching.

There were even some noisy comments, such as, "What is this smell?!"

"It smells so good! Is the church cooking something new?!"

"No, this sounds like it's coming from around the church!"

"Go check it out quickly! Maybe there's anything left!!"

Such words have already been faintly heard.

"It seems we've attracted some people here too."

Mog shrugged slightly. "We can only evacuate for now."

"But don't those foods require plants like trees to exist?"

Maggie, who had also finished her seafood fried rice, remarked, "Besides here, unless we go to the outer area, it seems like there aren't many trees anywhere..."

"There's a rotten tree over at Feitan's house."

Phinks immediately interjected, "It's for Feitan to stand on, perfect for him to stand on the tree and see higher..."

Phew! !

Finks was suddenly punched in the waist.

"Speak up."

Feitan, whose height only reached Phinks's waist, spoke his first words since arriving at the scene in a deep voice.

Chapter 022 These are ours, you can't take them away!

As for Feitan's height, let's not even talk about it.

Even after more than ten years, it only grew to a maximum of 155 centimeters.

This can be said to be his eternal pain.

Only Phinks, Feitan's comrade-in-arms, could be so thoughtless as to talk about Feitan's height.

If it were anyone else, Feitan would have already challenged him.

However, with such a suitable destination, it was just right for everyone to go there.

And we won't have to sneak around to the outside of this church anymore.

To avoid making such a big commotion, which is neither convenient nor safe.

Once the decision was made, the group immediately took action.

Before officially leaving, Mog looked up and smiled at the glass window of a certain room in the church.

Then he followed Phinks and Feitan, heading towards their home.

"Did that person just now... discover us?"

Little Paknoda, who was in the screening room, also noticed Mog's smile before he left and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

She wasn't mistaken, because Mog's gaze was directed in their direction.

"I read in a book before that people are very sensitive to the gazes projected onto them from outside."

Kuroro, on the other hand, didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "We've been watching him here for so long, he must have already noticed us."

As he spoke, a smile curved his lips:

"He seems to be a fascinating person. I really want to find a chance to get to know him."

After Mog and his group left, a number of people gathered around the large tree where they had been standing.

Those who arrived could smell the rich fragrance emanating from the air.

One by one, they all revealed faces filled with deep ecstasy and greed.

"Hiss~!!"

Some people even took a deep breath, trying to inhale all the fragrance into their nasal cavity.

Such behavior also drew angry stares from others.

Some even believe that there used to be delicious food here, but it must have been secretly hidden by the first people who arrived.

Anyway, for various reasons, a group of guys who had gathered around started arguing and even fighting.

Yes, in Meteor City, there will always be fighting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leaving aside Kuroro's curiosity about Mog, and the meaningless fighting among those people.

Mog, Uvoginmachi, and the other two successfully followed Phinks and Feitan to Feitan's house.

Although Uvogin is currently very unhappy with Phinks, he would be happy to take the opportunity to snatch food from them.

Feitan's house was small, and its exterior was just as dilapidated as Mog's small house.

However, the content inside is richer than that of Mog.

Besides the bed, there were at least simple tables and chairs and small cabinets for storing things.

It's just as old and worn out.

But if it's salvaged from a garbage dump, don't be picky; having it at all is good enough.

Mog's main focus, however, was on the rotten little tree in Feitan's house.

Fortunately, the requirement for the [Plant Modifier] is that it only requires plants, without specifying whether they are alive or dead.

Mog then took out two more [modification agents] and put them into syringes.

Now that he has received a commission from Finks, his inventory has been greatly replenished.

puff.

He still inserted the syringe into the tree, and then, under the gazes of Phinks and Feitan, whose eyes had gone from curiosity to shock.

It sprouts, expands, flowers, and bears fruit.

And just like that, a huge black coconut fruit was formed.

"So that's how you get your food..."

Finks was there, seemingly stunned and muttering to himself.

Although Feitan didn't say anything, his originally squinty eyes were now wide open to their maximum extent.

Watching the birth of the second black coconut fruit, it seemed as if they wanted to see this scene clearly and understand how it was done.

However, all their shock and confusion subsided after the lid of the black coconut fruit was opened.

Click.

The rich aroma wafted into my nostrils and stimulated the central nervous system in my brain.

The two of them were instantly jolted.

All the shock, curiosity, and doubt vanished at that moment.

Instead, there was a deep longing for the bowl of food in front of them.

A pork chop rice bowl with a generous portion of thick pork chop, and a steaming bowl of stir-fried noodles topped with bean sprouts, shredded pork, and greens.

These two dishes, which I've never seen before, are placed in front of me, making my throat bob involuntarily.

Even Uvogin and Machi, who had already eaten, were out of control, their mouths starting to secrete saliva.

Furthermore, Uvogin's expression gradually became subtle upon seeing these foods.

"Aha! These are ours, you can't take them away from us!!"

Before Uvogin could make a move, Finks, as if he had anticipated it, immediately moved the two dishes far away.

"Don't think I don't know what kind of wicked scheme you're plotting, you bastard!!"

Phinks glared fiercely at Uvogin: "Your eyes and drool have already betrayed you!!"

"Huh? Is it that obvious?"

Uvogin, having failed to achieve his goal, wiped the corner of his mouth with considerable regret.

With that one swipe, there was indeed quite a bit of saliva.

Chapter 023 What kind of life did I live before?

"These two guys, they clearly came later to freeload, and they're still so arrogant..."

Uvogin muttered to himself as he smacked his lips, unable to eat.

His words were filled with envy and jealousy as he watched Phinks and Feitan eat heartily there.

The two men, however, paid no heed to Uvogin's mutterings; they were so overwhelmed by the aroma that they lost all sense of direction.

Those thick, crispy, golden-brown fried pork cutlets were so delicious that you could bite into them one after another without making a sound.

And then there's the mouthwatering bean sprouts mixed with fried noodles, which you pick up with chopsticks and slurp up.

Now, with only their minds focused on eating, Phinks and Feitan are finally experiencing the joy that Uvogin and Machi had before.

"That felt so good!"

After they swallowed the last bite of food, Finks let out a long sigh of relief:
