Chapter 621 - Chapter 621 Well Played

When Greed Island was first designed, due to its special nature, protection was of course given priority.

Thus, the Eliminate Card came into being.

With this authority card in place, the entire operation of the game remained safeguarded.

It was precisely because of this card's existence that the creators of Greed Island never considered the possibility of anyone breaking through the numerous layers of defense...

After all, besides the Eliminate Card, there was also the 'blacklist' mechanism, which issued constant warning alerts.

Given these precautions, how could outsiders possibly run amok under their noses?

For over a decade since the game's launch, all intruders had been successfully kept at bay.

Ging was well aware of Moses's abilities, but he didn't believe that Moses could successfully cause trouble on the island.

This wasn't about strength, but the Nen mechanisms of Greed Island that set the rules.

Internal personnel staying on the island must abide by the island's rules.

As for outsiders stepping onto the island? They also have abide the island's rules.

While Moses being expelled was entirely within expectations...

It was just too much of a coincidence that he landed right in front of Ging, prompting an uncontrollable burst of laughter.

Had he not been in the middle of a mission, Ging would've asked Moses for all the juicy details.

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll get you a console myself when I have time."

Ging suppressed his laugh with great difficulty, and patted Moses's shoulder to comfort him.

Moses shook his head and sighed, looking as if he'd lost the will and mood to speak.

Ging didn't want to be too gloating, but seeing Moses's appearance made him feel happy.

There is no other way-

All Ging could do was try his best not to laugh, and then patted Moses's shoulder a few more times.

At that moment, Kite approached and softly called Ging's name.

This is a reminder that time is running out and it is best not to delay here for too long.

Ging nodded at Kite, then looked at Moses again and said with a smile: "I have something to deal with. I'll catch up with you later."

"Okay."

Moses responded, then glanced at Kite inconspicuously.

Long white hair, hat, and sword.

Those features alone were enough for Moses to recognize Kite's identity.

'At this point in the original work, Kite should have found Ging a long time ago, right?'

'Now the two of them are acting together, are they carrying out some commission?'

After thinking of this, Moses asked curiously, "Are you carrying out the commission?"

"Something like that."

Ging didn't hide it, and said calmly: "There is a biological disaster incident that needs to be dealt with."

"Oh, then go and get busy."

Moses raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not ask any further questions.

'Biological disaster?'

'If I remember correctly, Kite is a Beast Hunter.'

'So Kite must have encountered a difficult situation and asked Ging for help.'

Ging waved at Moses and continued on his way.

But after running a dozen or so meters, Ging suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Kite hadn't expected his master to suddenly halt. He ran another twenty meters before realizing it, then turned back with a puzzled look.

Ging ignored Kite's questioning look, but turned back to look at Moses, who remained motionless, and asked, "You're free now, right? Do you want to come with us?"

"Need help?"

Moses paused for a moment, then asked in return.

If the situation was so troublesome that it required his assistance, he certainly couldn't refuse.

But if this was just Ging's whim to drag him into some random adventure, he didn't have the time for that.

Ging understood the implication behind Moses's question, so he immediately shook his head and said, "No need."

It's just a magical beast. With him and Kite handling it, their combat strength was more than enough.

"Then I won't go."

Moses shrugged and spread his hands, refusing outright.

Ging nodded and didn't force it.

"See you."

With another wave, Ging kicked off the ground, his figure shooting forward like an arrow.

Kite silently glanced at Moses before following Ging, who was already far ahead.

Moses watched Ging and Kite disappeared into the distance.

"Being kicked out randomly and bumping into Ging, who just happens to be on a mission in the Azian Continent... What are the odds?"

Moses shook his head, marveling at the coincidence, then had Rat Jewel transform back into its original form to retrieve the Blue Planet.

"Chu chu!"

Rat Jewel raised its tiny hands, and the green arrow symbol on its head began to glow.

A blue gem about the same size as a glass bead emerged from the green light and landed on Rat Jewel's short little hand.

Then, Rat Jewel took two steps forward and handed the Blue Planet to Moses

Moses took the Blue Planet and glanced in the direction where Ging left with interest.

'The prize was already in my hand...'

'Forget about game consoles or anything like that.'

Moses smirked. He stored the Blue Planet properly, then took out his phone and sent a text message to Biscuit to inform her of the situation.

"Rat Jewel, let's go."

Putting his phone away, Moses called for Rat Jewel to follow.

"Chu chu!"

Rat Jewel leaped lightly onto Moses's shoulder.

Moses chuckled and casually chose a path in the opposite direction of Ging.

The two who had met by chance parted ways just as quickly.

Perhaps-

At some point in the future, Ging would regret not dragging Moses along to deal with the biological disaster known as 'Mammon'.

Two days later.

Moses reunited with Biscuit in a town on the Azian Continent and handed her the Blue Planet.

When Biscuit got the Blue Planet, she immediately fell into her obsessive state, and was completely intoxicated by the beauty of the Blue Planet and couldn't extricate herself.

"…"

This time, Moses didn't disturb Biscuit. He simply shook his head and let her indulge herself.

Meanwhile.

Ging, who was in the midst of tracking his prey, received a message from his companion.

It was about Moses smuggling to Greed Island and making off with the Blue Planet.

Ging finished reading the message...

The happier he had been two days ago, the darker his expression was now.

Kite cautiously observed his master's expression.

He didn't know what had happened, but it seemed like the first time he had ever seen Ging's face turn so dark.

This made him extremely curious...

After all, the Ging he admired was a very capable Pro Hunter who could handle any challenge with composure and perfection.

It seems that nothing can make Ging feel gloomy, and nothing can affect Ging's mentality.

Ging put away his phone with a gloomy face. Of course, he would not take the initiative to share this sudden bad news with Kite.

'That Moses...'

'Well played.'

'Not only did he quietly make off with the Blue Planet, but he even acted clueless when we met the other day!'

Ging resisted the urge to call Moses and give him a piece of his mind.

'Fine, I'll take the L.'

Ging let out a long sigh.

Some of the treasures on Greed Island are Nen constructs, while others were real objects.

Nen constructs are basically props with special abilities, while gems like the Blue Planet, which had no special abilities, were real objects.

The maximum number of Blue Planet is five.

But that doesn't mean there are five Blue Planets on Greed Island.

In fact, it is the replication mechanism of the Conjuration System that increases the number of Blue Planet to five.

And this ability can only take effect on Greed Island.

Therefore, the first Blue Planet Card obtained by players was, strictly speaking, the original.

Unfortunately...

The Blue Planet that Moses had taken was the very first Blue Planet Card obtained by the players of Greed Island so far.

Now-

With the original Blue Planet taken out of Greed Island by Moses, the Conjuration-Type replication mechanism, having lost its target, could no longer provide players with Blue Planet Cards.

This meant that players would never be able to complete Greed Island.

Ging was very troubled, but he had no time to spare at the moment, so he could only ask his companions to find a similar replacement for now.

"It's fine, let's keep moving."

Noticing Kite's concerned gaze, Ging quickly adjusted his mindset.

Kite nodded lightly.

The two continued their pursuit of Mammon.

Several days later.

Moses returned to Heavens Arena and reunited with Menchi and the others.

As for Biscuit, after obtaining the Blue Planet she wanted, she had gone off to wander elsewhere.

Heavens Arena's competition venue.

Moses, who is in disguise, made his way to one of the seats in the audience.

Around him, spectators of all ages were shouting Gon and Killua's names at the top of their lungs.

'The atmosphere here was as lively as ever.'

Moses looked down at the ring in the center of the venue, where Gon and Killua stood on either side of the referee.

Today's match was a showdown between Gon and Killua.

'I haven't seen them for just half a month, but they're already so popular...'

Listening to the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Moses chuckled and shook his head.

Heavens Arena had always been like this. Whoever is stronger will receive the flowers and applause.

Gon and Killua, with their youthful appearances and outstanding strength, had quickly captured the audience's attention. Their performances had naturally earned them the audience's love and support.

'No suspense here.'

Moses's gaze shifted between Gon and Killua.

In his opinion, Killua would win this match without a doubt.

While Gon's talent and potential were exceptional, Killua was even more outstanding. Having undergone the hellish training of the Zoldyck Family from a young age, Killua's combat experience far surpassed Gon's.

And just as Moses had predicted, not long after the match began, Killua secured the victory.

After watching the match, Moses got up and left the audience seats, walking into the passageway.

Beep-

Beep.

Moses sent messages to Kurapika and the others, then put away his phone and made his way through the passage to the corridor outside the competition venue.

Menchi and Shizuku were already waiting there.

"Master, the gifts are ready!"

Menchi raised the gift bag in her hand.

Today, she was wearing a light green patterned dress, and her usually tied-up hair was let down to match the outfit, giving her an elegant and serene aura that was quite different from her usual self.

Shizuku's outfit, on the other hand, was no different from usual. She's still wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans.

The only difference was that she was wearing contact lenses.

Without the large black-framed glasses obscuring her face, her big eyes became particularly striking.

"Alright, let's go home."

Moses looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

'It had been a long time since I'd been back...'

'It's time to go home and see Hawk.'
