There are roughly three watersheds in Heavens Arena.
The first one is the 100th floor.
The second one is from the 150th to the 200th floor.
The third one is above the 200th floor.
Menchi just arrived and crossed the first watershed with just one victory in the preliminary match.
On the other hand, Moses, who also defeated his opponents easily, only ascended to the 60th floor.
One of the reasons is probably because of the difference in their demonstrations.
But this also depends on the personal judgment standards of the referees.
The referee in charge of Menchi is a Nen User, so he can see that Menchi is also a Nen User.
At the same time, he can see from Menchi's defensive counterattack methods the pure and ruthless killing techniques, akin to those of wild animals.
Based on this, the referee probably considered the risks that lower-level contestants might face when facing Menchi, so he gave Menchi a ticket straight to the 100th floor.
After reaching the 100th floor, the Heavens Arena will prepare a private room for contestants.
"The view is really nice!"
Menchi leaned on the balcony of the room, facing the cold wind, excitedly overlooking the street buildings below.
The rooms for contestants on the 100th floor are not large, but they have all the necessary facilities.
Moses sat on the single bed, took out the envelope, and poured out the money inside.
Twenty brand new high-denomination banknotes, totaling 200,000 Jenny.
Converted into purchasing power from the previous world, it's roughly equivalent to $7000.
'From the 60th floor to the 200th floor, I can probably get about 500 million Jenny. This money is too easy to get for the Nen Users, hmm... I'll give up the registration after reaching the 200th floor.'
Moses put away the banknotes.
Although he is currently only on the 60th floor, as a newcomer, he is already thinking about how to get another round of victory prizes from the Heavens Arena.
Normally, each contestant goes through a cycle of victories and defeats, from victory to defeat, and then from defeat to victory, as they strive for higher floors.
That's why Heavens Arena has the mechanism of 'only one prize can be claimed on each floor'.
But there's one situation where one can claim the prize a second time.
That is, after reaching the 200th floor, they will actively give up their qualifications as a contestant by not registering.
In this way, they can re-register as a contestant and then go from the first floor to the 200th floor again, thus collecting another round of prizes.
However, the Heavens Arena only gives contestants two registration opportunities.
If one gives up the second registration opportunity as well, they will permanently lose their contestant status.
But it doesn't matter.
'It's your time to shine again, 3D Hisoka.'
Moses narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Master, you..."
Suddenly, Menchi's weak voice came to Moses's ears.
Moses snapped out of his thoughts and immediately composed himself.
"What's wrong?"
Then, he looked at Menchi's 'trembling' reaction and felt a little confused.
Menchi said cautiously: "Master, the look in your eyes just now... really reminded me of the way the farmer looks at their piglets."
"Huh?"
Moses was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. I was just thinking of some interesting things."
"What things?"
As Menchi asked, her heart rate slightly increased.
"Well…"
Moses propped his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment, and then decided to speak his mind directly:
"I'm thinking about how to get a few more rounds of prize money from the Heavens Arena. If everything goes well, I should be able to get around 2 billion in half a month."
"…"
Hearing this, Menchi couldn't help but fall into silence.
Seeing Menchi's reaction, Moses thought she was shocked by his words and quickly explained: "Menchi, my plan is within the rules allowed by the Heavens Arena."
"But Master…"
Menchi looked at Moses with a complicated mood and said weakly: "You also looked at me with that 'look' back then."
"…"
Moses's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly understood the reason for Menchi's silence.
'Well, there was indeed a long-term plan to extract wool from Menchi.'
'This…'
Looking at Menchi's weak and pitiful appearance, Moses finally felt a sense of guilt on the road to gathering wool.
"Times have changed."
Moses stood up and walked over, then flicked Menchi's forehead with his finger again.
Then, amidst Menchi's cries of pain, he solemnly said: "Menchi, you have to know that you are the first disciple I have accepted, so in my heart, you are irreplaceable and unique."
"Un…"
Hearing Moses's words, Menchi felt pleasantly surprised, but instead of behaving as carefree as before, she just muttered a low response while holding her forehead.
Moses withdrew his hand and said, "Then I'll go out first... well, to do something."
After saying that, he didn't even bother to see Menchi's reaction, he just opened the door and quickly left.
As Menchi rubbed her forehead and looked at the door, she murmured: "No wonder he hooked up with the elevator lady so quickly."
…
Leaving Menchi's room, Moses took the elevator straight to the first floor and found a secluded corner.
Soul Echo.
With a move of his thought, the shadow behind Moses trembled like water ripples, and in the blink of an eye, a part of it split off.
The separated shadow immediately transformed into Hisoka's appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because of the previous Swamp Man Incident...
Moses can now use his shadow to create two shadow clones with normal strength.
So, with one clone taking on the form of 3D Hisoka, Moses can still keep another shadow clone with him.
"May the unknown God of Combat bless that Hisoka hasn't come to the Heavens Arena yet."
Moses glanced at the face of 3D Hisoka.
Since the impression of Hisoka's bruised nose and swollen face had faded from his mind, the Hisoka he created this time only had slightly swollen cheeks and a bruise around his right eye.
"Go, 3D Hisoka."
Moses used his thought to control 3D Hisoka to register.
Very few people came to register at this time.
3D Hisoka only waited in line for ten minutes before completing the registration under the surprised gaze of the registration clerk.
Seeing that 3D Hisoka successfully registered, Moses breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, he could use Hisoka's identity to reap two rounds of prize money.
As for Hisoka's future development when he came to Heavens Arena to register but was turned away...
Moses could only write a letter titled 'To the future Hisoka' and then express his gratitude by writing 'Listen to me and thank you' on the letterhead.
After successfully completing the registration, Moses controlled 3D Hisoka to rush to the first floor.
Because he only filled in one year of combat experience, the person in charge quickly arranged a match for 3D Hisoka.
The opponent was a burly man. After seeing the injuries on Hisoka's face, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Pretty boy, look at those wounds on your face. Tsk tsk, I'll turn you into a pig's head in a moment. If you're afraid, you can still escape now."
"…"
3D Hisoka remained silent.
Hiding in the dark, Moses had a flash of inspiration.
'It's necessary to keep a low profile when exploiting loopholes, so 3D Hisoka cannot be allowed to reach the 200th level too quickly.
'Then-'
'His persona needed to be crafted.'
A series of images appeared in Moses's mind.
'Even if he is beaten black and blue, he will not fall down easily.'
'Strong and inspiring!'
'With such an attitude of never giving up, he marched firmly towards victory.'
'Even if the road is full of thorns, even if he is battered along the way.'
'No difficulty—'
'Can stop me, Hisoka, from climbing to the 200th floor!'
'When he reaches the 200th floor, he will fall to the bottom due to unexpected accidents, then stand up strong again and restart the challenge!'
'Having reached the summit and descended into the abyss, both experiences will benefit me with 1 billion Jenny.'
'What a great story.'
Moses was moved.
