The Fox Father seemed to be recalling what happened last year and couldn't help but sigh: "When I gave you the number plate, you said at that time that you just came to experience the Hunter Exam and would come again next year."
"I thought you were joking with me at the time, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Well, this is normal. Who made you do such a thing in the fourth round of the exam…"
Speaking of this, not only the Fox Father but also the other foxes all cheered up.
"To be honest, we were really surprised when we heard the news!"
The Fox Mother pulled a chair over and laughed happily: "Who would have thought that you would do such a thing."
"As a result, the Hunter Association directly deprived you of the qualification for the Hunter Exam."
"What happened at that time? If it's convenient, why don't you sit down and talk to us?"
"Do we not need to take the test now?"
Leorio was a little confused about the situation in front of him.
"It seems so at the moment."
Kurapika looked at Lan, who sat down and started chatting with the fox family without being polite: "But what I care more about now is what happened to Lan."
"Listen to what the Fox family said…"
Gon's attention has long been attracted by those few words: "Lan did some amazing things in the Hunter Exam and then was disqualified by the Hunter Association?"
"If it was amazing, he should be rewarded, not punished by being disqualified?!"
Leorio complained: "I think he violated the rules in the Hunter Exam?"
And it may be a big violation…
Kurapika guessed even more.
"And the Hunter Association took the initiative to disqualify him from the exam, and even the fox guide could hear about it. It can be imagined that what Lan did was definitely not small!!"
"He is really not an ordinary person!!"
Even though Lan behaved very normally along the way, they couldn't see anything.
However, the careful and perceptive Kurapika still had a certain degree of vigilance towards this old applicant who had participated in the previous Hunter Exam.
"Why, you don't know?"
The Fox Daughter saw Gon and Kurapika's expressions and the question marks on their faces, which made her feel a little surprised.
"Didn't you tell them on the way here?"
The Fox Son also asked Lan.
"Those are things of the past; let's not talk about them."
Lan waved his hand.
"It seems that not only you didn't mention it, but the previous examiners didn't mention it either."
The Fox Father laughed happily: "Really, a group of guys who want to laugh at others!"
"That..."
Gon always asks when he doesn't understand: "Did Lan do anything in the Hunter Exam last year?"
Leorio and Kurapika also pricked up their ears.
"This…"
The Fox Father looked at them, then looked at Lan, and laughed again:
"Hahaha, wait until you arrive at the official venue of the Hunter Exam, and someone will tell you the answer!!"
"I think those guys will be surprised by your arrival!!"
The fox family couldn't help but think of something, and all of them showed funny expressions.
And this made the trio even more confused.
What kind of thing could Lan do to make these guides react like this?
"Okay, I won't talk about these past things."
After Lan sat down and talked about the past with the fox family for a while, he changed the subject: "I still have to trouble you to take me there this year."
"Hehe, we are also looking forward to it."
The Fox Father chuckled twice: "We have already tested your qualification last year, but…"
He raised his head and looked at the three people standing there stupidly:
"They are three newcomers. According to the regulations, we still need to test their qualifications and talents!"
As soon as the business was mentioned, the three of them all looked stern again and began to focus on the test in front of them.
"According to our previous testing methods, we need to test your handling of special situations…"
The Fox Father coughed twice: "But since you came with Lan, it is enough to simply test your observation ability."
"Just tell me what you observed."
Observed...?
The three people were thinking hard there. At the table, the Fox Son came to Lan and asked quietly: "Lan, do you still have the carrots from last year?"
"I only had a few left, and I ate them all."
"Is that so…"
The Fox Son was a little disappointed: "We kept some of the carrots you gave us last year to plant, but the taste of the ones we planted has always been a little different from what you gave us."
"It would be nice if you still had these carrots…"
Well, there are no carrots, but I don't know if you will eat the other vegetables.
Lan looked at the red blind box condensed in the room and then continued to raise his hand to collect the freshly baked blind box.
Well, in this classic place, of course, there are blind boxes.
[Get a Rare-level blind box, do you want to open it?]
[Open successfully, get: Enhanced Spinach (Source World: Popeye)]
Okay, last time, it was carrots; this time, it's directly spinach.
And they are all from the cartoons.
Popeye, the protagonist of the cartoon, can become extremely powerful as long as he eats spinach, making him comparable to Superman!
But only once, and after destroying the enemy, he will return to his original state.
If we make an analogy, it is like Shalnark's Nen ability, Autopilot Mode.
The strength of one's own aura soars until the enemy in front of him is killed.
The difference is that the Shalnark's Nen ability is uncontrollable and unconscious, but this Enhanced spinach is subjectively controlled, and there are no sequelae afterward.
It's just like taking drugs... Even taking drugs can't compare to this Enhanced Spinach with no side effects.
Such a life-saving item with no side effects is worth a red blind box.
After Lan put away the Enhanced Spinach, the trio also successfully passed the test of the fox family.
Kurapika found the tattoo on the arm of the Fox Daughter, which served as sight that she's not married, and concluded that the two were siblings and not a young couple.
Gon successfully identified the Fox Father and the Fox Mother.
He became the first applicant in ten years to distinguish the two of them, and the two foxes were very happy.
He also included Leorio, who had stared with his eyes wide open and could not observe any difference, into the category of qualified applicants.
"The exam site this time is in Zaban City; let us take you there."
After the four of them were gather, the fox family also stood up and prepared to take all four of them to the test site.
Under the moonlight, four flying foxes, plus the applicants caught under their feet, soared in the sky.
"We are expected to arrive at Zaban City at dawn. You can take a rest during this period."
The Fox Father said, and couldn't help but make a joke: "Of course, you can also look forward to the expressions and reactions of the applicants after arriving."
Expressions and reactions? What is there to look forward to?! Or...
The other three looked at Lan again. "So what did he do last year to make all the applicants have such extraordinary reactions?"
