I Am Not Really Related

Unsurprisingly, the trap Kurapika had left on Uvogin was removed. However, Haru took a drastic measure—he spread the seed of calamity to everyone present at the time. Thus, he could quickly locate where Chrollo and others were. Beyond that, there wasn't much else.

Unless Kurapika could afford to pay him, he had no reason to strike at the 'Spider.'

"They are inside. What you do next is up to you. For Kite's sake, here's a piece of advice: don't arrogantly try to challenge more than two Troupe members at once. Pick off those alone; your chances are good with your current abilities and the information you've obtained from me."

Kurapika nodded thoughtfully, "Although you disrupted my plans before, I still have to thank you now."

"Don't mention it. Let's call it even. I hope to see you alive again. I'm off."

Afterward, Haru left suavely, leaving Kurapika alone, looking into the distance, pondering how to eradicate the Spider.

Meanwhile, Haru went to a hotel, checked into a presidential suite, delightedly took a bath, and opened a bottle of '82... Sprite. After finishing, he focused on the game 'Greed Island.'

"Might as well strike while the iron is hot. I want to see just how fun this game is."

He snapped a couple of photos 'accidentally' and sent them to his adorable Milluki, after which Haru activated his Nen and instantly disappeared from the room.

However, they still needed to be answered.

Moreover, as a wealthy man using Hunter's license to book this room, as long as there's money in his bank account, he would never check out, nor would anyone disturb him.

...

In a flash of light, Haru suddenly found himself in a room composed entirely of white light and black lines.

He glanced at himself and mused, "Is this teleportation ability related to space or speed? This must be a Specialization type."

Then, the door in front of him automatically opened. He walked into a similarly styled room, but in the center was a hemispherical platform with a very techy yet adorable girl sitting on it.

"Welcome to the world of G.I., adventurer."

"Next, we'll proceed with the game instructions. As long as you wear that ring, you can use two types of magic in this world: 'BOOK' and 'GAIN.'"

"Please extend the hand that's wearing the ring and shout 'BOOK.'"

Haru looked at her with interest, as if talking to himself, "A live-action tutorial, interesting."

The girl showed no emotion, continuing to play the role of an NPC, which Haru didn't expose, but followed her instructions and shouted, "BOOK!"

Then something magical happened—a thick book appeared out of thin air before him.

"Conjuration might even involve some aspects of Specialization and Emission."

Haru thought to himself, then listened as she continued, "The main objective of the game is for players to collect specific cards, which can then be stored in the 'BOOK'..."

Haru listened briefly, relatively straightforward.

In essence, the card book contains a hundred 'designated pockets' ranging from [000] to [099], and each is meant to hold a corresponding numbered card.

Collecting all 100 designated cards means completing the game.

Besides, there are 45 'free pockets' without numbers where any card can be stored.

But saying 'cards' means turning a hundred types of items or props into cards for collection.

This is known as 'clarification.'

And if one wishes to use a card, another type of magic, 'GAIN,' is necessary.

However, once an item has been transformed into a card, it cannot be re-certified, which is a crucial point to note.

That is to say, the powerful cards collected can either be used to attempt to clear the game, or they can only be used once, and then you'll have to find a way to obtain them again.

Additionally, if a card is not placed into the book within 1 minute, it will automatically revert to an item and can no longer be turned into a card.

The same item also has a limit to certification, such as being able to own only three copies of it. Thus, the fourth item obtained cannot be turned into a card.

If a player dies in the game, all the data inside the book and ring will disappear. If you leave the game and do not return for ten days, all cards disappear.

In summary, the rules are relatively simple, but there are many restrictions on the card items, which is no wonder why a 'collection type' game is so challenging to clear.

"...the rest is up to the players to explore in the game."

"I wish you a happy gaming experience. Please enter the game via the stairs over here."

Suddenly, a staircase leading downwards opened on the ground before me.

As I approached the staircase, I suddenly looked up, smiled, and said, "I have one last question: does this game allow attacking NPCs? If I kill you here, what will happen to you?"

Before I could finish, the room was filled with a highly terrible malice.

Elena, responsible for explaining the game to newcomers, should have continued her duty as a guide NPC for beginners. However, she unconsciously broke into a cold sweat when she came into contact with that unmasked, infinitely malicious intent.

Even her left hand subconsciously pressed the emergency contact button...

It wasn't until a voice came from the inside that she suddenly woke up from what she had just done.

"Elena, what's wrong?"

"So your name is Elena. I'll remember this name. I hope to see you again when I clear the game." Haru withdrew his intent, smiled at her, and slowly descended the stairs.

Then, Razor's voice came again, "Who was that person just now? I'll 'fly' to you right now..."

"No need. That guy is a new [Player]. He's already left."

"So what exactly happened just now?"

"It seems our game has attracted a very frightening person. He immediately saw through my identity and released his intent as a test. I have never felt such a terrifying intent, to the extent that I subconsciously pressed the emergency contact button. If you hadn't answered in time, I have no doubt that guy would have killed me."

"A newcomer that can instill such fear in you is troublesome... Should we directly expel him?"

"My intuition tells me it's best not to. Let's see what this person wants to do first."
