"Let me tell you what red-braised pork, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, crispy pork elbow, red-braised lion's head..."
Listening to Lan's series of dishes, Buhara's saliva flowed out again.
It was another delicacy he had never heard of.
Following Lan, there were always big surprises.
This also made Buhara more eager to go to the town of Baloril.
But, when they came to the entrance of the Baloril town.
"Blocked?!!"
Seeing the hunter staff busy blocking the road, Buhara hurriedly ran up to ask.
"Ah, an infectious disease broke out inside."
After Buhara showed his Single-Star hunter identity, the staff became easy to talk to: "Although the infectiousness is not widespread, the disease is very severe and can cause great damage to the internal organs of the human body."
The staff briefly explained the situation.
When he heard that there was an infectious disease inside, no matter how greedy he was, Buhara had no choice but to give up.
But at this moment,
"Are you Mr. Buhara and Mr. Lan?"
The staff seemed to have reacted and looked at Buhara and Lan twice more, asking for confirmation.
"It's us, what's the matter?"
Buhara was still immersed in the low pressure of not being able to eat delicious pig dishes.
"If it's you two, then please follow me; someone wants to see you."
The staff invited politely.
There was a silence at the scene.
Buhara ignored him, and Lan just looked at him quietly, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
"I..."
The staff was a little embarrassed to see that the two did not respond.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
But at this time...
"I want to see you."
Behind him, they don't know when a hedgehog head figure appeared. "Hello."
The man was wearing dusty clothes; one hand was in his pocket, and the other hand was extended to Lan.
"My name is Ging Freecss."
The face that was almost the same as Gon's, but more mature, had a sloppy beard and bright eyes.
The bright brown eyes met Lan's eyes.
"Lan."
Lan chuckled in response.
This was the first time the two of them had met officially in this world.
At the same time, Lan glanced at the blue blind box that Ging had brought with him.
Sure enough, he was the protagonist's father, after all, and the blind box he showed up in was different from the ordinary extras.
In a small camp next to Baloril.
"Want an apple?"
In the tent, after the two sat down, this was Ging Freecss's first opening statement.
"No.
"Oh~"
The scene fell into silence again.
Buhara was taken to the cafeteria by the staff, and there were only two people left in the tent.
Ging thought about it and tried to open the topic: "You are indeed a little different from what I imagined."
"You are almost what I thought."
Lan said leisurely: "Looking at Gon's face and his head shape, you can imagine what his father is like."
"I'm not talking about appearance."
Ging was immediately shocked: "Also, the thing between us is us."
"I see~"
Lan expressed his understanding: "Then I won't mention him next time."
Ging: "Actually, it's okay to mention it."
He hesitated for a moment, then simply said, "I know you got my phone number from the Chairman. There must be something that needs my help."
"So let's make a deal; you tell me how you know about Gon and how much you know."
"I'll help you solve your problem; how about that?"
"Not so good."
Lan shook his head.
"Hmm?"
Ging raised his eyebrows, waiting for Lan's answer.
From their first meeting, Lan shouldn't be the kind of person who pushes the issue…
"I think you may not be able to solve my problem."
Lan said truthfully: "So I think our deal may not be established."
Hearing Lan's provocation, Ging's brow furrowed, then relaxed, and he said calmly.
"Such childish tricks are useless to me."
Then a spark seemed to flash in his eyes: "Tell me, what kind of problem makes you feel that even I can't solve it?!"
Lan: "…"
"This is it."
Lan took out a DynoCaps Set and threw it to the ground.
Plop.
The purple smoke dissipated, revealing a suspended small flying car.
"One is the space reduction technology of this DynoCaps Set, and the other is the suspended driving technology of this flying car."
He looked at Ging Freecss, who sat up a little straighter.
"I think with the current technology, it is impossible to solve the principles of these two technologies."
"What do you think?"
Ging did not respond but looked at the suspended flying car with his eyes gradually concentrating, and his expression became serious.
At the same time, he was muttering something silently, as if he were analyzing and studying it.
But if someone knows lip reading and can understand multiple languages to distinguish it carefully, they will almost find...
Ging used several ancient languages to make up a sentence: "I am not good at engineering..."
For him, who likes historical relics, biological research, and fantasy games, this kind of scientific research direction is indeed the least he's good at.
Ging is not an all-round person, after all.
There are also industries that he is passionate about and not very interested in.
For example, this kind of technical research and development.
"Ahem, this technology looks difficult…"
Ging pretended to cough twice: "It's actually not simple at all."
"I think for such a complex level, we need to find some professional people to help."
"And it just so happens that I also know some good guys in this area, and it's no problem to hand it over to them."
After all these years of adventure, Ging has made many friends, and there are still many professionals specializing in this field.
But…
"That's just your friend, I don't trust him."
Lan replied with a light sentence.
"Can't you solve the problem yourself?"
He doesn't have the habit of sharing the technology with others for nothing.
"Ah, there is really no way."
No means no, Ging admitted very frankly: "This is not my main direction."
The main thing he does now, besides arranging things for his son, Gon, is to focus on the Dark Continent.
Learning a variety of ancient written languages, exploring the diversity of organisms, excavating various ancient ruins to obtain information and intelligence…
All these behaviors are to prepare for setting foot on the Dark Continent in the future.
