Chapter 40: Greed Island I
...
A smile appeared on his face as he softly affird, "Sure we can. There is this beautiful large island that has a lot of wonderful creatures and gas we can play, It's called Greed Island."
Yasuo planned on going to Greed Island a year ago after finishing everything he had to do, but the genetic elixir machine proved to be more of a challenge than he thought.
So he had to spend much more ti working on it especially since the new inscription proved to be more beneficial than he first thought.
The machine he created consists of three parts, a large tal ball that's able to be opened and closed with several large extractor blades neatly constructed inside, it's connected to another smaller one under it though this one seems to be completely empty the sa as the smaller one under it.
One thing they share in common though is that they're almost completely engraved in strange inscriptions and the obvious trace of Nen all around it. As for its use, only ti will tell.
Also, since they started the advanced type of training for Killua about a year and a half ago, he took Alluka to move into his house since she won't have anyone to play with there and since none of them consider her to be human so it's better for her to live with him.
And now, Yasuo could be seen sitting on a chair taking a sip of coffee from ti to ti as he pondered about a few things while Alluka is playing with a few dolls near him.
'Hmm, she has only made the requests one ti granting the ability to make a wish which I left for later finally giving peace of mind.
The most likely reason is that she didn't want the burden to fall on since she'll have to ask for things I can't deliver which ans my death so she'll probably make the requests when she ets soone else if the conditions are t though that's unlikely to happen until I made my wish.'
Yasuo the stroked his earning as a gleam of light appeared deep in them, 'While I'm sure I can make commands without the need to fulfill the requests, the risks are too high for and for her and I don't know if there is any repercussion for making her stop asking for requests.
After all, she said she feels like she has to ask for requests and grant wishes, I'll try to keep it to a minimum as I'm not interested in making any other wish.
I have all the information I need, now I just need more preparation before my simple plans unfold themselves,'
He then stood up, used his domain to make sure everything is in place, "Alluka, just like I told you, teleport to in twenty minutes just like I taught you to, ok?" He noticed she was nodding repeatedly unable to hide the excitent she's feeling.
He then went out of the house only to enter the lab with the door closing tightly behind him, the difference that could easily be noticed is no creature being in the lab nor any plants being in there.
'Too bad the experint for making creatures awaken Nen failed or just needed too much ti, perhaps I'll try it again later.'
All that's left is several machines with a few work tables designated for creating potions, one room for poison purposes, he leaves his daggers from ti to ti in this room to make them more fatal.
And two other rooms, one is the one where the genetic elixir machine is constructed while the other one is completely empty, its use remains unknown for now.
There is another specific table with a few items on it, a Joystation console with a copy of Greed Island inside, and a mory card allowing the players to save their progress.
Greed Island is a famous video ga in the world. It is played on the JoyStation Console but is out of print costing more than 5 billion at launch and the price is only going to go up.
The ga transports its players' physical bodies into the world of "Greed Island", only releasing them when they: die (at which point they die in "real life" too), win, or use a special card in the ga that lets them out.
It can only be played by people who can use Nen. There is no limit to how many people can enter the ga and it is possible to play it without a mory card, however, to save one's progress a mory card is needed.
Using a multi-tap, it is possible for multiple people to use one save file to enter the ga. In actuality, it is a real place that is an island located east of the Yorbian Continent.
A backpack flew from another work table, he put it on then inserted the mory card, 'Ren' instantly his aura shrouded the console, and not even a split second later, he vanished.
...
He instantly appeared in a weird-looking room, and the first thing he did is to analyze everything especially the inscription all around.
'Hmm, there are mostly similar to the ones I have with little differences. but teleportation huh, it's more like I activated a condition to appear here using my aura as fuel.'
In order for the inscriptions to be effective, one has to inscribe them with a picture of what he wants in mind and control his Nen to deliver that picture through willpower and while one can simply inscribe an inscription without the process, the results will be unsatisfactory.
Also, for example, if one visualized a concealnt effect while inscribing a strengthening inscription, the results will be a much weaker strengthening effect.
The inscriptions' effects are basically how Nen interacts with the said inscriptions producing particular results, and since Nen is an extension of one's willpower, then that also plays a vital role in making those effects notable.
Yasuo stroked his earring while thinking in his mind, 'Those little differences make a lot variation though the most vital thing is the inscriber's visualization during the process which make it hard to predict the resulting effect especially for sothing as complex as Greed Island, there is bound to be several conditions and limitation to produce these effects.'
He then went through the door while morizing everything around, from the structure to the strange engravings all around, "Welco to Greed Island!"
The one who welcod him is a young woman with a slim figure, big azure eyes, and long, silver hair parted in two ponytails by a helt with eye motifs. This is Eta, the Ga Master in charge of players entering the ga.
She looked at him then said, "Would you like for to explain the rules of the ga?" To which he nodded though not before instructing, "keep it short."
"Everyone who has this ring can use two Keywords, 'Book' which allow them to summon a book in which they can store the cards, Also, all the items you find in the ga can be converted into cards."
She explained while throwing a silver ring to with three of what looks like green jewels on it and it looks inscribed with several inscriptions from the inside.
"The goal of the ga is to complete the book though you must only fill the slots with the numbers on them amounting to hundred slots, the rest are free slots in which you can store any card in.
When you acquire an item, it will imdiately turn into a card, if you want to turn it back, you use the last keyword, 'Gain' but if you do this, the item will no longer be able to turn into a card again though another player can do so unless the limit of transformation for the card is reached, the limit is three transformations.
One last thing, if you acquire an item and it turned into a card, you'll have one minute to store it in the book before it turned into an item again." Eta continued to explain in an almost machine-like voice.
"It's important to note that you have been presented with the bare minimum of information, the rest are for you to find out.
Good luck on your quest and please use the stairs," She finished her explanation in the sa unchanging monotone as she pointed at the stairs that just appeared leading down.
He narrowed his eyes as he went down and remarked in his mind, "Interesting..."
The ti she took explaining was more than enough for him to commit every inscription here to his mory and he noticed sothing, there is no inscription similar to the divine inscription shown in ca the story on, 'I guess I have to pay the pirate boxer a visit.'
Once he went down, what appeared before him is vast grassy plains where players teleport to when they enter the Greed Island ga, it's called Shiso Tree.
Suddenly Yasuo looked in a certain direction, 'I'm being watched huh, the sa happened in the story which makes sense, just two people north from here, about two miles away,'
Yasuo lifted his hand up and looked at the ring that has several mysterious inscriptions inside with a smile of interest surfacing on his face, 'If I inscribe the sa inscriptions on another ring, will that ring work the sa, I wonder?'
