Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 238 Killua's Experiences

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

"Big brother, is it so hard for this guy to tell me more information?" Killua said, very annoyed. He still needed to learn about many things in Kree City after he arrived there.

Killua is now hungry.

He originally planned to join the Adventurers' Guild and become an adventurer first.

But halfway through, he was drawn to an open-air cooking competition.

He was mainly hungry, and this cooking competition offered him a free opportunity to eat the dishes prepared by the contestants.

Today, Crewe has also gained considerable fame as a culinary capital.

Back then, Lucci encouraged various culinary competitions, which gave rise to many chefs. Like martial artists, chefs here also have a way to win generous prizes by participating in competitions.

You can even get a registration fee for participating.

The registration fee for participating in the chef competition here is not paid by the participants themselves, but is given to them by the competition organizers.

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

The Food Association was once a private organization, but it has now become almost an "official" organization.

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

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

It is precisely because of the numerous competitions and generous prize money that Cree is so famous as a food capital.

Having entered the arena for free, Killua was still driven by curiosity.

This cooking competition is about "egg fried rice," using the simplest ingredients to cook a delicious dish.

Everyone who enters the arena will receive a vote.

There are ten contestants in total, and the competition will last for three hours.

Within three hours, they need to continuously cook fried rice for every "visitor" entering the stadium.

Tourists are also judges; the votes are tallied three hours later, and a ranking is determined based on the number of votes received.

This kind of place where you can eat for free is perfect for Killua, who's a bit hungry right now.

He had actually eaten fried rice with eggs, but only a few times.

Killua comes from the Zoldyck family. Even after undergoing training in poison resistance and poison cooking, he can still make food that looks, smells, and tastes delicious.

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

"How could such simple food be any different?" Killua didn't quite understand.

I always feel that all fried rice should taste pretty much the same.

But Killua quickly changed his mind. Although none of the ten chefs in this competition were particularly famous, they were definitely not ordinary.

Even a simple egg fried rice is cooked to perfection by them, making it look, smell, and taste amazing. Just the aroma alone is enough to whet your appetite.

Even each grain of rice is distinct.

Starting with contestant number 1, put a spoonful into your mouth and chew.

"Mmm, delicious!" Killua immediately turned into a cat face and then vigorously shoveled rice into his bowl.

This is definitely the best fried rice he has ever eaten.

He wasn't the only one with the same expression as Killua.

Killua almost cast his vote, but remembering there were still nine more to go, he held back.

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

The reason for this awareness is that many tourist judges chose to taste all the dishes before voting, and judging from the naked eye, number 1 did not necessarily receive the most votes.

Because of the three-hour competition time, the contestants can actually make minor adjustments to their dishes during the process.

To make it even more delicious, meaning there's room for improvement.

Killua quickly arrived at the next contestant's location.

"Mmm, delicious!" With the same expression and words, Killua immediately noticed that this egg fried rice was different from the previous egg fried rice.

This bowl has a richer egg flavor, and the eggs are even more tender.

He found all the egg fried rice dishes to be delicious.

Of course, the most outstanding one is contestant number 6, and judging from the voting results, he also received more votes.

Everyone has their own tastes, but when faced with truly delicious food, it's still possible to distinguish between them.

Especially simple dishes like fried rice.

Killua followed his heart and cast his vote.

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

Killua found the cooking competition very interesting.

"If the food is this delicious in the competition, then must the food in famous hotels and restaurants be even more delicious?" Killua wondered.

Then I went to a restaurant to check it out, and I was immediately disappointed.

Extremely expensive dishes; even the cheapest ones cost over 100,000 yen.

They even saw dishes priced at hundreds of millions, which Killua described as robbery.

As darkness began to fall, Killua decided to find a place to spend the night. There were plenty of trees in Kree City, so he could just pick any tree.

He chose a secluded spot in a grove of trees in Crete.

At night, Killua lay on the tree, not yet asleep, and did not feel any discomfort. The environment was actually quite good.

His ears twitched quickly; he had heard something.

He immediately stood up and looked down.

A young man arrived at the grove. He was dressed in a black robe, and Killua could not see his face clearly.

Because of his overly furtive behavior, Killua unconsciously began to conceal his presence.

"I never expected to have such luck." The figure in the black robe suddenly produced a cloth bag in his hand.

The way it appeared so suddenly startled Killua. Could it be Nen ability?

The other side did not notice Killua's presence.

Instead, he reached into the cloth bag, pulled out white powder, and then sprinkled it on the ground to draw.

Soon a circular "magic circle" appeared, and it was constantly being replenished.

Once the "magic circle" is drawn.

"Be full, be full..."

The words were repeated over and over, while his own spiritual energy was poured into the magic circle on the ground, and the "magic circle" that was being drawn began to glow.

The energy is also being continuously absorbed.

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

As the light grew brighter, a humanoid figure slowly began to form from within it.

Killua was stunned.

What exactly is this? Is this the Nen ability he knows?

Because of the changes in the Zoldyck family's education, Killua learned what Nen was.

But clearly, what he was seeing was slightly different from what he knew.
