Perception reward…
Unexpected yet within reason.
Compared to receiving favor from Perception for making decisions, rewards in the form of 'highlight moments' in battles seem easier to obtain.
'Vow effect +1…?'
Moses's expression subtly changed. As he pondered this, some information suddenly emerged from the depths of his consciousness.
Vows and Limitations.
Setting strict conditions to enhance the effectiveness of abilities- the specific principle behind it is 'equivalent exchange'.
To obtain a certain ability effect, one must set equivalent stringent conditions.
And with the Vow Effect +1 given by Perception, for example, it is equivalent to Moses could use a level 1 limitation condition to exchange for a level 2 Vow ability effect.
In other words—
After receiving this reward, Moses could likely develop the mature ability of 'Mimic Appearance' at no cost, as long as the existing Vow effect allows it.
After understanding the effect of the Vow Effect +1, Moses felt a surge of excitement and joy.
Although it is not the Nen Exorcism chance that is more needed at the moment, the Vow Effect +1 is still a precious reward for him.
After all, "Soul Echo" is a Nen ability with a very high upper limit. Like Chrollo's 'Bandit's Secret', various limitations need to be set up to unlock the ability's full potential.
Some abilities can be obtained and strengthened by raising the level of Hatsu, such as shadow mimicry, clones, range, power, and abilities like sharing senses.
However, some abilities require 'limitations' to obtain and enhance their effects, such as 'Shared Training Results' and 'Exchanging Positions", which are high-level abilities.
It's not to say that setting limitations is the only way to develop these abilities.
In fact, as long as the level of Hatsu is high enough, abilities such as 'Shared Training Results' and 'Exchanging Positions' can be gradually developed.
But one thing is absolute!
To fully unleash the effects and power of various potent Nen abilities, limitations must be set eventually in the mid to late stages.
And Vow Effect +1 reward allows Moses to explore the upper limit of his ability while avoiding many stringent conditions.
Therefore, compared to rewards like increasing proficiency levels in the Four Fundamental Techniques, the value and benefits of Vow Effect +1 are higher. It is simply a reward that fully fits the Nen system.
Furthermore, proficiency in Nen skills can be improved through daily training, but the Vow Effect +1 can only be obtained from 'Perception'.
'It's not an exaggeration to understand it as a battle reward, then... I wonder what kind of gains I will get from fighting Hisoka, Illumi, and the Phantom Troupe? If I can defeat formidable opponents like Ging and Netero, what rewards can I obtain from Perception?'
Moses pondered with his head lowered.
In order to improve his strength, daily training is necessary.
However, various combat situations not only reveal his shortcomings, but allow him to obtain valuable rewards from 'Perception'.
'Indeed-'
'Every real combat opportunity must be cherished.'
'When the training buffs end, I must go to the Heavens Arena.'
Moses made up his mind in an instant.
Tap, tap—
With the sound of rapid footsteps…
Finally coming to her senses, Lisha, with an imposing aura, arrived in front of Moses.
"I believe I mentioned—"
Lisha's expression was stern as she spoke in a deep voice, "I want you to wait for me in the first-floor lobby while I check the situation first."
"Uh…"
Moses's contemplation was interrupted, and he looked up at Lisha, thinking about what kind of reason or excuse he should use to smooth over the situation.
But Lisha didn't give him the opportunity to speak.
"This guy is not weak, his Aura flow is very stable, and his Nen skills are also very solid. He is obviously an experienced Nen user."
Lisha glanced at the barely conscious Buck, who was lying on the ground, and continued speaking rapidly:
"The shape of his weapons is very strange, and strange weapons usually have unique features. Judging from the external characteristics of this weapon, it's highly likely designed to better adhere and retain toxins between multiple blades. It may also be to increase the success rate of delivering toxins into the enemy's body, not ruling out its alignment with his Nen abilities."
"No matter how you look at it, his means of dealing with opponents are tailored for killing. When facing this type of enemy, the chance to make mistakes in battle is virtually zero, so it's best to have companions to assist you from the sidelines to increase the margin of error."
Lisha said a lot in one breath. She was just keeping a straight face at first, but ended up getting angrier as she continued.
"What I mean is-"
She glared at Moses with an unfriendly look, and her voice seemed to squeeze out from between her teeth:
"You are very smart, so you shouldn't engage in such irrational behavior. It will only put you in danger. Even if you defeat him in the end, if you're accidentally injured by that weapon, even if it is just a minor wound, it could cost you your life!"
"…"
Faced with Lisha's preaching, Moses remained silent for a while.
He wanted to refute Lisha by saying, 'It was because I guessed the characteristics of his weapons that I made a targeted plan.' But in the end, he held back.
He knew that Lisha was angry because she was worried about him. In this case, it's better to——
"I was wrong."
Moses sincerely apologized.
Engaging in risky combat was for substantial gains— that was his motive.
But he clearly had companions with him, and he still chose to fight alone.
From Lisha's point of view, this is indeed an irrational behavior.
"Let's go back."
Seeing Moses admit to his mistake, Lisha took a deep breath. After calming down her anger, she didn't say more, turning and walking towards the office.
Moses honestly followed behind Lisha.
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly remembering something, Moses turned around to look at Buck. With a slight movement of his thoughts, he summoned the shadow figure with the little Nen he recovered.
'I almost forgot about an important thing.'
Moses controlled the shadow figure to approach Buck with his mind.
Lisha stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Moses.
Then, she saw the dark figure crouching next to Buck, moving its hands, actually searching the body, and within two seconds, found a stack of banknotes from Buck's body.
"…"
Watching this scene, Lisha fell silent.
The second floor of the law firm.
Sanbica was also silent, but Biscuit was the only one who couldn't stop laughing.
Controlling the shadow figure to search out all the valuable items on Buck's body, Moses was already thinking about when to buy a new phone tomorrow.
But before tomorrow comes—
He needed to quickly verify the effectiveness of Vow Effect +1. If he can successfully develop the 'Mimic Appearance' ability, he will definitely sleep well tonight.
Perhaps if luck favored him, he might also be able to bring out the 'Shared Hearing' ability.
'I'm really looking forward to it.'
If-
The situation of being unable to grasp the current situation and information while facing Wright at the temple prompted Moses to have the idea of making the shadow figure possess 'Shared Vision' ability.
Then,
Tonight, in order to defeat a Nen user like Buck, and thus taking risks to carry out his plan, made Moses's need for 'Mimic Appearance' ability even stronger.
'It's still a long way to go…'
