There are two types of Buff effects from Star of Mankind's Shine.
One is affinity +1, and the other was Mental Toughness +100%.
During Moses' bitter training in the Milsy Wetlands, Moses had already experienced the effect of 'affinity +1', which could make some animals lower their guard against him.
However, this affinity effect does not apply to the ferocious beasts in the Milsy Wetlands that regard humans as prey.
Maybe it's because those ferocious beasts can ignore this buff effect, or maybe the affinity level is not high enough.
As for the Magical Beasts—
Moses hadn't encountered Magical Beasts since he arrived in the Hunter x Hunter World, so he didn't know if the affinity Buff had any effect on them.
As for the Mental Toughness +100% Buff effect, Moses had never experienced it either.
After all, he has never been exposed to Manipulation-Type Nen Abilities such as suggestive or semi-coercive ones, so he didn't know if this 100% mental toughness could provide any defensive effect.
If it is a semi-coercive Manipulation Ability that has met the conditions, perhaps this +100% mental toughness wouldn't be effective.
However, if it was the lowest-intensity suggestive Manipulation Ability, it was likely to provide immunity.
And now, the mental toughness has been increased from 100% to 105%…
Did this mean that after reaching 200% or 300%, he could resist stronger semi-coercive Manipulation Abilities, or even resist coercive Manipulation Abilities that could directly erase consciousness?
Or could he become immune to abilities like Pakunoda's ability to read memories or Saccho's 'Counseling Room' that could hypnotize others.
Or perhaps some ability that could force others to speak the truth through physical contact or collision.
If this was the widespread effect that mental toughness +100% could bring...
Then Moses felt that it was necessary to start improving it.
Because there all kinds of strange Nen Abilities in this world. In a sense, even a transmigrator like him, who is familiar with various Nen knowledge from the original work, cannot guarantee that he knew about every Nen Abilities.
So, the defensive value brought by this passive buff is immeasurable, and it can greatly increase the fault tolerance rate in various situations.
In just a few breaths, Moses's thoughts surged.
The improved mental resistance means that one can have mental resistance that is twice or even three times stronger than others.
This is equivalent to a rare and precious passive defense capability.
However, what Moses thought of next was still how to maximize the value of this Buff effect.
He first thought about whether 'mental toughness' could be applied to Abilities' Limitations, such as to match the 'Through the Looking Glass' ability that might be developed in the future.
'Let's think about it later…'
Moses promptly restrained his thoughts.
It's good to have some whimsical ideas, but it's more important to stay grounded.
In the path of Nen Abilities, aiming too high was a major taboo.
Moses has quite strong self-control in this regard and wouldn't make the beginner's mistake of trying to run before he could walk.
Persistent and rational.
Ensuring that each step taken was solid enough was what he had always been doing.
With his sword sheathed, behind him lay the scattered armors and head-holding human statues.
Moses looked ahead at the group of examinees, whose faces are full of shock.
It's no wonder they are so shocked…
After all, the armors and head-holding human statues, which they can't defeat no matter what, are as vulnerable as a chicken or a dog in front of Moses.
This huge difference, whether visually or psychologically, brings an indescribable impact to the examinees.
Most importantly…
The crisis is averted!
The examinees' tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and they all slumped to the ground.
In the situation just now, it felt like the whole team was on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, Moses took action in time, otherwise...
Among the examinees, Bolton, who served as the temporary leader, looked at Moses with a complicated expression.
"No. 1789, you really helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, we would probably all have died here..."
"It's nothing."
Moses replied casually, and then looked at the buildings in the distance, and could vaguely hear some commotion.
Although he couldn't see the situation at the source of the sound, he could roughly guess that examinees from other locations were being attacked by the armors and human statues.
Without the help of Nen Users, ordinary people couldn't deal with these armors and head-holding human statues that could resurrect infinitely.
Moreover—
Judging from the number of black Post-Mortem Nen that first spread to the ruins, Moses deduced that the number of armors and head-holding human statues controlled by the Post-Mortem Nen in the ruins was at least tens of thousands.
It can be said that once those non-Nen Users venture into it, they basically have no chance of survival.
"You guys…"
Moses withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Bolton and the others again, but stopped speaking as soon as he opened his mouth.
He had intended to tell Bolton and the others about the 'weakness' of the armors and head-holding human statues, but then he thought that Bolton and the others couldn't see the existence of Nen...
So even if he mentioned it, it wouldn't make much sense.
"Are you planning to leave or continue staying here?"
Moses changed his question.
The scope of the Manipulation Ability of the Post-Mortem Nen should be limited to the ruins and buildings.
So, as long as they stay away from the ruins and buildings or return to the entrance they came from, they should not be targeted by the armors and head-holding human statues.
Hearing Moses's question, a trace of hesitation flashed in Bolton's eyes.
To be honest…
Facing a treasure with huge potential value, few people could easily give up.
However, thinking of the dangerous situation they faced just now, the hesitation in Bolton's eyes quickly faded away.
There are many ways to earn money.
But if life is lost, nothing is left.
"I don't want to stay in this eerie place, but how to leave here is a problem."
Bolton frowned, then thought about where to find a way to leave after running back to the entrance they came from.
Other examinees had similar thoughts as Bolton.
Although they really wanted to obtain valuable treasures from this underground city ruins, what was the point if they lost their lives?
But now the problem was that they didn't know how to escape from this eerie place.
For a moment, all the examinees present looked at Moses. It's as if drowning people were looking at a straw they could grasp.
Facing everyone's gazes, Moses said calmly: "You guys leave first. My companion and I will go inside and take a look."
"…"
Upon hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
This is the answer they wanted to hear the most.
But in their eyes, with so many armors and head-holding human statues outside the ruins, it was hard to imagine how many more there were inside.
With just Moses and Menchi going in...
Even though they had witnessed Moses's strength, they felt that this was no different from entering a tiger den.
Nevertheless, they couldn't voice their objections. Instead, they hoped that Moses could find a way to leave.
"Be careful."
Bolton was the first to respond, his expression is serious.
Neither he nor the other examinees, who have just experienced the danger, want to stay in this terrifying ruin city. At the same time, they hoped someone would carry the burden for them and find a way to leave.
And this person—
Could only be the teenager in front of them, whose strength was as monstrous as a monster.
"Please take care, No. 1789…"
"Be sure to proceed with caution."
The examinees said some scene-worthy remarks one after another.
Moses nodded and said nothing more.
Whether this group of people go or stay, it makes no difference to him.
Soon, Moses called out to Menchi and then walked towards the depths of the ruins.
Meanwhile, Bolton and the other examinees watched Moses and Menchi walk away with various thoughts in their minds.
For them, Moses and Menchi are their only remaining hope.
