Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

He shook the large backpack on his back and said with a smile, "I still have a wife and children to support."

The fierce fox father, still young at heart, is exceptionally talkative and has a touch of humor.

But this is normal.

If he hadn't had a natural sense of humor, he wouldn't have later resorted to that act of pretending to be attacked.

He brought his whole family to assess Gon and Kurapika.

Soon, the group passed through the passageway and arrived at the foot of the huge red cedar tree.

There, a simple wooden cabin stood beneath that redwood tree.

"This is where we live, this is our home."

The fierce fox father welcomed Mog inside, while his wife and children first put the things in the inner room.

"Come, come, although it's simple, it's very cozy. Please sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea."

In terms of entertaining guests, Mr. Fox was also very hospitable, with manners that were no different from those of ordinary humans.

After sitting down, Mog looked around.

They discovered that the entire house was constructed entirely of wood.

The combination forms a living room, dining room, and bedrooms.

"Did you, Mr. Fierce Fox, do all of this yourselves?"

Mog tapped the table in front of him; yes, it was made of solid wood too.

“That’s right. This place is located on the top of a mountain, so it’s really not easy to get craftsmen to come up and build houses for us.”

Mr. Fierce Fox walked over with pieces of rice cracker cookies and other snacks.

"Moreover, it's too far from the foot of the mountain. Even for us, it's impossible to buy so much sheet metal for building houses and bring it up."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, "so we simply used what was available and cut down some trees from the nearby woods to build the house."

The fierce fox's wife also came over with tea, put down the teacup, and poured tea for the two of them in turn with the teapot.

"Anyway, we're all monsters, and living in houses made of wood gives us a feeling of returning to nature."

The fierce fox husband picked up his teacup, still displaying his sense of humor.

"Is that so~~~"

Mog also held his teacup, looking around thoughtfully.

"Of course, our craftsmanship is definitely not comparable to that of those artisans; it's a bit rough around the edges."

The fierce fox husband opened the rice cracker, picked up a piece, and put it in his mouth.

bang.

Beneath the crisp bite, the sweet taste of the snack fills the mouth.

The fierce fox husband narrowed his eyes slightly.

Snacks from the human world are still much more palatable and delicious.

"To be able to do this is already very impressive."

Mog gave a fair assessment: "The wood is made so neatly, and the pieces are joined together so well."

"It's nothing."

The fierce fox husband smiled dismissively: "Our talents are mostly focused on wisdom and human transformation."

"When it comes to delicate tasks like processing wood, which require skill, we are still inferior to some other animals that are already equipped with powerful tools."

"Of course, being able to speak, think, and communicate with others without hindrance is already the greatest gift God has given us."

"We are very grateful."

Clearly, the fierce fox husband is quite content and satisfied with his current life.

"Is it just a lack of technology and tools?"

Mog laughed when he heard this: "In other words, if you have such conditions and capabilities..."

"Is it possible to build the house even better?"

"That's true..."

The fierce fox husband looked up, somewhat puzzled, and stared at Mog with a questioning look.

"If conditions really allow, I could indeed rebuild this place."

"To build a more beautiful and exquisite house."

The fierce fox husband wasn't just bragging.

Before it came to live on the mountaintop of Porto Dorei, it lived in the town below.

I looked at a lot of books and blueprints about house construction.

I also asked some craftsmen about their experiences in building houses.

It has always highly praised the achievements and crystallizations of human civilization and wisdom.

Even something as simple as building a house requires consulting with humans for guidance.

Although the final product was a rather rough one.

But that's because of issues with materials and manufacturing processes.

The fierce fox husband is quite knowledgeable about house construction.

"That's perfect! I came here as a guest, but I didn't bring any gift~~~"

Mog smiled and took something out with his other hand.

"That's perfect, consider this a gift from me."

As he spoke, he slammed a bottle of beverage onto the table.

"this is……"

The fierce fox husband stared blankly at the small orange-red bottle of beverage on the table.

He looked at Mog with a somewhat blank expression and asked.

"These are the abilities and conditions I've provided for you."

Mog smiled and said, "It's called 'Carpenter's Drink'."

Invention: [Carpenter's Beverage]

Source: Doraemon World - Future Technology Company.

Effect: After drinking it, your body will possess all the abilities of a super carpenter!

In Doraemon, this is still the very old-fashioned Suneo's competitive trope.

One day, Suneo, in his usual boastful manner, invited Nobita and his friends to his house.

This time, however, instead of flaunting wealth, she flaunted her father.

His father, who reeked of being a colonel, was nicknamed "Master Bonekawa" and used a high-tech chainsaw worth tens of thousands of dollars to demonstrate a series of exquisite carpentry works.

While Nobita took the opportunity to slip away, he thought about how his dad either spent all day reading the newspaper or sleeping in.

When I got home, I found my dad had suddenly decided to saw wood, something he'd never done before.

I want to be a carpenter on Sundays and make a wooden bookcase for Nobita.

But the result...

Nobita's dad broke the saw in half, claiming that a better tool wouldn't have done that.

So, the all-powerful Doraemon produced this gadget for Nobita's dad.

"【Carpenter's Drink】? What's that??"

The fierce fox father narrowed his small eyes further as he examined the small bottle.

It's just an ordinary little beverage bottle.

The bottle features a small black hammer, resembling a carpenter's hammer.

After Mog finished explaining its purpose, his eyes suddenly opened:

"what do you mean……"

The fierce fox father gestured with his hand in mid-air: "If I drink this, I can become a great carpenter?"

"I can't guarantee anything about the technical aspects, but about your health..."

Mog looked at his hands and smiled, saying, "They'll definitely have the best carpentry skills."

What is the function of a carpenter?

The father of the fierce fox still didn't quite understand.

However, since Mog had already said so, driven by curiosity, he picked up the small bottle on the table.

"Then I won't be polite."

"Don't mention it, this was originally for you."

At Mog's whistle, the fierce fox father unscrewed the bottle cap and poured the drink inside directly into his mouth.

Gudong~gudong~

Hmm, it tastes similar to orange juice.

The fierce fox father smacked his lips, savoring the moment.

However, it only happened once.

Because, in the next second~~~

"Um?!!!"

To the astonishment of the fox father, his right hand suddenly began to glow!

"this is??"
