A sudden shout from behind interrupted Menchi's words.
It also surprises her.
"What are you doing, Buhara?!"
Menchi jumped up from the sofa and turned around to glare at Buhara.
However, Buhara ignored Menchi and stared at the applicants in front of him.
His action made Menchi angry and curious at the same time.
"What he called just now was...Lan? Is he one of the applicants?"
Menchi subconsciously followed Buhara's gaze and looked over.
"Does Buhara know any applicants who are taking the Hunter Exam this time?"
It's not just Menchi who is curious.
The group of applicants outside are even more shocked.
"In addition to Satotz, does he even know the examiner of the second round?!"
As a newcomer, Hanzo looked at Lan in surprise and then came to the side of the old applicants: "Did he really beat up the examiner last year?"
"Why do I feel that he knows all these examiners and has such a rich network of contacts?!"
Bodoro, who was asked by chance: What can I say?
I was eliminated in the first round last year. I don't know anything, and I just heard about it!!
"Sure enough, this man is so unpredictable."
Tonpa, in the crowd, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Last year, he beat up the examiner, but this year, he has a good relationship with the examiner?"
"It's really scary…"
The other applicants all had similar ideas.
Of course, some people had other opinions:
"Too cunning, in this case, wouldn't he be able to easily pass this round?!"
Applicant No. 255, Todo, whispered somewhere.
But not many people care about what he said.
After all, with Lan's strength, even if he takes the Hunter Exam normally, he can still pass it easily.
It shouldn't have any impact on them... Right?
"Long time no see, Lan!"
Seeing an acquaintance, especially since they had a good relationship before, Buhara, who also tasted many exotic dishes, was very happy:
"You also come to participate in this year's Hunter Exam?!"
"You should have told me in advance so that if I knew you were coming, I could have made some preparations for you earlier!!"
Other applicants: Hey, hey, hey, as an examiner, you are so blatantly claiming to use the back door for the applicant, is this really okay?!
"It turns out that Lan also knows this examiner..."
Gon looked at Lan, then looked at Buhara: "It seems that Lan knows people everywhere."
"Isn't this good news for us?!
Leorio was very happy and waved his fist.
"Let's ask Lan later to tell the examiner to be flexible with us during the round so that we can pass this round successfully!!"
"But isn't that cheating?"
Killua said bluntly: "Uncle, you accused me of cheating with a skateboard during the underground marathon!!"
He still remembered the time when Leorio yelled at him.
Leorio: "The boomerang hit me?"
"Didn't Gon say that you did not violate the rules of the Hunter Exam at that time?"
Leorio said stubbornly: "And this is not a violation, right?"
"Well, according to the relevant rules of the Hunter Exam..."
Kurapika also pondered: "As long as the examiner says we passed, then we passed."
"No matter what method is used, including bribing the examiner, etc."
"As long as it can be done, then you can still successfully get the license."
Gon looked like he had learned something: "There is such a rule…"
"But..."
He said firmly: "I still want to rely on my true capability to pass this round!"
"No..."
Leorio, who was standing next to him, saw that the child was stubborn again and wanted to tell him to learn to be tactful.
"I think if I don't rely on my own strength to pass this round of Hunter Exam, I may not be able to pass the next round."
"Listen to me..."
"And even if I can successfully get the license using this method, I may not be able to keep your license later."
"Uh, that..."
"Although I can only make special omelet rice, and Aunt Mito also thinks it's delicious, I am willing to try other dishes. This time, I want to rely on myself!"
"Actually..."
"I believe that even if Lan knows this examiner, he will not take such a method!"
"By the way, Leorio, what do you want to tell me?"
"...No, nothing!" Leorio was directly shut up by Gon.
You have said this; what else can I say?!
Kurapika and Killua on the side also laughed secretly. But just as Gon said, even if they really pass this Hunter Exam by crooked means. Then, this hunter license is meaningless!
At that moment, they all cheered up and continued to pay attention to everything on the field.
"Hey, long time no see, Buhara."
Lan also greeted him with a smile, and his tone was much more familiar.
Compared to Satotz just now, he can be said to be more friendly.
After all, Buhara has been following him for several months and has helped him with food and guidance.
The relationship between the two is naturally different.
"How are you doing recently?"
"Thanks to Lan..." When he mentioned this, Buhara smiled even more happily:
"I was recently rated as a Single-Star Gourmet Hunters."
"Congratulations!"
"No, no, it's all thanks to the cooking methods you showed me, which gave me a lot of new inspirations…"
Lan was sincerely happy and congratulated Buhara.
Buhara also shared his joy and interest.
Menchi, next to him, heard something.
"Cooking methods? New inspirations?"
She knew that there was a trend of Gourmet Hunters recently, which was started by Buhara. Trend.
It is said that Buhara has come up with a very novel cooking method for a new dish.
The taste and texture are very different from the usual cooking methods, but the taste is surprisingly good.
Later, the Hunter Association determined that the dish Buhara came up with could be used in kitchens in various countries.
It has brought new experiences and attempts to the people's livelihood in many regions.
It may even have the potential to become a new type of basic cuisine!
