Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 9 Helping Bick

Inside the restaurant, a teenager was feeding a young man, which attracted the attention of many diners.

It's a bit strange, isn't it?

Bick blushed and looked shy because of all the stares.

Actually, he wasn't very old, only 21 years old. If he were in Lucci's previous life, he would just be a big boy.

After finishing his meal, Bick thanked him again and said he would pay for the meal.

Next, I still need to go to the bookstore and ask.

However, Lucci stopped him.

"If you need a job, you could try becoming a referee at the Sky Arena," Lucci suggested.

"Is it okay?" Bick asked.

He came here simply because he had heard that the Sky Arena was a place where you could live a life of plenty as long as you climbed a certain number of floors.

He came here without hesitation because all he knew was how to fight.

He is not a martial arts enthusiast.

Lucci took Piccolo back to the Sky Arena.

They still didn't get the other party to go to Conrad Bookstore.

That bookstore is quite famous in Crewe, and many people have received help there.

The Conrad family, now one of the most powerful gangs in Cree, owes its existence to this bookstore.

Or perhaps it's because of that being named Julia Conrad.

That bookstore wasn't anything special, but in Kerry, it was a place of order, and even a place of learning.

In this bookstore, you can find a job that can support you.

You can also learn to read and write and expand your knowledge in this bookstore.

Conrad grew up through such "funding" activities.

This bookstore is frequented by ordinary people, as well as many competitors like Bick who strive in the Sky Arena.

And there will always be people who stand out from the crowd. Some of these people will join the Conrad family, while others, even if they don't join, will choose to help in certain matters.

It's a tactic to win people's hearts, and in this kind of world and environment, it can certainly be considered a good deed.

After all, the Phantom Troupe will also engage in charitable activities in the future.

Generally speaking, people who possess a certain level of physical strength and choose to earn their rewards through their own labor are a good indicator of their character. When such a person joins the Conrad family, it brings about change within the family.

But some fundamental things will not change; the three major industries of the gang will be involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs.

After returning to the Sky Arena and inquiring, Luckey discovered that getting a referee position wasn't as simple as he'd imagined.

The main problem is that there are many referees at the lower levels, with relatively few rotations and few new hires.

Some referees also lack ambition and desire promotion, since promotion means greater danger.

Bick's skill level is equivalent to that of a low-level referee.

Of course, if Lucci insists, Piccolo can still become a referee at the Sky Arena.

Before Lucci could make a decision.

Bick refused outright.

"Thank you for your help, I will find a job myself."

"Jobs are hard to find here." The overdeveloped commerce within the Sky Arena has greatly impacted the surrounding businesses of Kerry City. Apart from martial arts schools, other businesses are not very developed.

It's difficult to find a job here.

Is joining the Conrad family the only option?

"Looking like this, I doubt anyone would hire you."

Bick looked bitter; this was indeed a problem.

"Since you need a job, then give me one." Lucci decided to offer Bick a job.

Instead of showing any joy, Piccolo asked, "Why are you helping me? Even though you say it's fate, we've only met three times, haven't we?"

"I'll help if I want to. If I really have to give a reason, your previous actions are one of them. Even though they didn't really help me, maybe I just want there to be more good people in this world."

Lucci uttered these words while deep in thought.

Lu Qi was reborn into this world with extraordinary power. Although he lacked great love, he still did some good deeds when he encountered them.

"I'm not a good person," Bick said with a complicated expression.

"Forget it, you need to think too much. Just tell me if you want to work for me or not," Lucci asked directly.

"What kind of job is it?" Bick needs this job.

"It's not that difficult, but I can only provide you with accommodation and three meals a day, no salary," Lucci said first.

"I'm already very satisfied with this."

Lucci then told Bick about his job.

It is indeed a very simple job.

To understand the situation in Kerry, simply put, is to gather intelligence.

As for why Lucci needs these things, it's because he's planning to do something.

Despite the prosperity brought by Sky Arena, Kree City is still too "chaotic".

He wasn't a cultivation fanatic; he also wanted to change some things.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Phoenix fly every day, to understand things through its eyes.

It's his living environment after all, and he still hopes to have a more stable life.

Of course, I also have some other ambitions, but it's not the right time to talk about that now; we have to take things one step at a time.

Although it was said to be gathering various intelligence.

But Bick, who had never done anything like this before, was a little confused.

Moreover, he is illiterate.

"Let's start with how many martial arts schools there are in Kerry City, what styles they are, and how many students they have." Lucci didn't intend for him to do the most difficult thing right away.

"I understand!" Then he immediately went to work.

"Wait a minute," Lucci immediately called out to Bick.

It's really in a huge rush.

Lucci first got Pic a meal card for him at the large cafeteria on the 25th floor, and then found him a place to stay on the 18th floor.

Then he told the other party where he lived, and they agreed on a time to meet each day. The rest of the time was up to Bick to do as he pleased.

Bick thought Lucci was just trying to help him out of kindness.

That evening, back in his room, Lu Qi didn't rush to cultivate.

Instead, they reflected on themselves.

They quickly came to a goal: to become the master of the Sky Arena.

Of course, he doesn't know exactly what to do at this stage.

His Nen ability made him believe that living in this world wouldn't be too difficult, and he could even live a very easy life.

However, he was not satisfied with this.

Even the Dark Continent was not his ultimate goal, but rather many more unknown mysteries.

But all of these require support.

Because of his different experiences, he believes that becoming stronger is not simply a matter of hard work.

He needs more "power".

To use a more spiritual term, it is about wealth, Dharma, companions, and environment.

Lucci's mindset began to change; before, he only had a vague goal, but now it was more precise.
