Life at Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 238 Killua's Experience

However, Killua was rejected directly. Due to his age and the fact that he was not yet an adventurer, he was naturally not among the candidates to be recruited.

"Brother, is it so difficult for this guy to tell me more information?" Killua said very unhappily. He needed to understand many situations in Keri City after arriving here.

Killua is already feeling hungry now.

Originally, he planned to go to the Adventurer's Guild and try to become an adventurer first.

But halfway through, he was attracted by an open-air cooking competition.

The main reason was that he was hungry, and this cooking competition gave him the opportunity to eat the food prepared by the contestants for free.

Today, the city of Kerry has gained a reputation as the food capital.

In the beginning, Lucci encouraged various cooking competitions, which gave birth to many chefs. Like martial artists, the chefs here also have channels to obtain generous bonuses as long as they participate in competitions.

There is even an entry fee for participating.

The registration fee for participating in the chef competition here is not paid by yourself, but given to the contestants by the competition officials.

Of course, if you want to participate, you must become a member of the Gourmet Association.

The Gourmet Society is also a private organization, and now it has almost become an "official" organization.

This is naturally formed by relying on the power of the Sky Arena.

The Gourmet Association houses many chefs, including dozens of gourmet hunters.

It is also because of the numerous competitions and generous prize money that the city of Kerry is so famous as the food capital.

Having entered the arena for free, Killua still held a curious attitude.

The chef competition is about "Egg Fried Rice", which requires people to cook delicious dishes using the simplest ingredients.

Everyone who enters the arena will be given a vote.

There are ten contestants in total and the competition lasts for three hours.

Within three hours, they need to continuously cook egg fried rice and provide it to every "tourist" who enters the stadium.

Tourists are also judges. The votes are counted after three hours and a ranking is determined based on the number of votes.

This kind of place where you can eat for free is very good for Killua who is a little hungry.

He had actually eaten egg fried rice before, but only a few times.

Killua comes from the Zoldyck family. Even if he is trained in resisting poison and cooking poisonous dishes, he will make the food look good, smell good and taste good.

Even in the history of the Zoldyck family, there was once a Zoldyck family that used food to kill people.

"How can there be any difference in such simple food?" Killua didn't quite understand.

I always feel that egg fried rice should taste similar.

But Killua soon stopped thinking so. Although the ten chefs in this competition were not particularly famous, they were definitely not ordinary.

Even the simple egg fried rice is cooked by them to make it look delicious and fragrant. Just smelling the aroma will whet your appetite.

Even each grain of rice is distinct.

Start with contestant No. 1, put a spoonful into your mouth and chew.

"Hmm, delicious!" Killua immediately turned into a cat-like face, and then picked up the rice bowl with force.

This was definitely the best egg fried rice he had ever eaten.

Of course, he was not the only one with the same expression as Killua.

Killua almost cast his vote, but when he thought about the nine more candidates behind, he held himself back.

He was afraid that there would be better food later. If he voted now, what would he do if he regretted it later when he ate something even more delicious?

I have this awareness because I noticed that many tourist judges choose to taste all the dishes before voting, and judging by the naked eye, it is not the case that number 1 has the most votes.

Because there is a three-hour competition period, contestants can actually fine-tune their dishes during this process.

Make it more delicious, which means there is room for improvement.

Soon Killua reached the next contestant.

"Hmm, delicious!" The same expression and words, and at the same time, Killua immediately tasted that this bowl of egg fried rice was different from the previous one.

The egg flavor in this bowl is stronger and the eggs are more tender and crispy.

After tasting all the fried rice, he felt that all the egg fried rice were very delicious.

Of course, the most outstanding one is contestant No. 6, and judging from the voting results, he received more votes.

Everyone has their own taste, but when it comes to real deliciousness, everyone can still tell the difference.

Especially simple dishes like egg fried rice.

Killua also followed his heart and cast his vote.

Unfortunately, due to space limitations, Killua was unable to see the final result and left after casting his vote.

Killua found this chef competition very interesting.

"If the food in the competition is this delicious, then are the food in those famous restaurants even more delicious?" Killua became curious.

Then I went to a restaurant to find out, and I was shocked.

It’s a very expensive dish, the cheapest one costs over 100,000 yuan.

We even saw dishes that cost hundreds of millions, which Killua described as money-grabbing.

The sky began to darken, and Killua planned to find a place to spend the night. There were many trees in Keri City anyway, so he could just find any tree.

He chose a remote wooded area in Kerry.

At night, Killua was lying on a tree. He hadn't fallen asleep yet, nor did he feel any discomfort. This environment was actually quite good.

Soon his ears moved and he heard some sound.

He immediately stood up and looked downward.

A young man came to the grove. He was wearing a black robe and Killua couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Because his behavior was too sneaky, Killua unconsciously restrained his own breath.

"I didn't expect that I would have such luck." A cloth bag suddenly appeared in the hand of the figure in the black robe.

Such a sudden appearance made Killua a little stunned. Could it be the ability of Nen?

The other party did not notice Killua's presence.

Instead, he reached into the cloth bag, took out white powder, and then sprinkled it on the ground and started painting.

Soon a circular "magic circle" appeared and was constantly replenishing itself.

After the "magic circle" is carved.

"Full, full..."

A sentence was repeated continuously, and at the same time, his own mental energy was injected into the magic circle on the ground, and the carved "magic circle" began to light up.

The mental energy is also being continuously absorbed.

The man in the black robe was staring at the "magic circle".

As the light grew brighter, a human-shaped creature slowly began to form from it.

Killua was stunned.

What on earth was this? Was this the mind power he had learned about?

Because of the changes in the Zoldyck family's education, Killua knows what Nen is.

But obviously what he saw was a little different from what he knew.
