Life in HxH - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: The Destined Person Piccolo

“Are you still short of money?” Julia knew Lucci’s identity.

“I don’t want to rely on my father.” Lucci answered casually, put down the book in his hand, and flipped through another book.

“Oh.” Julia didn’t dwell on the matter.

Instead, ask: “So, what other books do you need?”

“No need, but does your Conrad family have a publishing business?” Lucci put all the books into the prepared bag.

Julia wondered, “Are you going to publish something?”

Conrad met Lucci four years ago. At that time, Lucci was only eight years old, and Conrad had not yet completely settled down.

It is very unusual for her to come to her bookstore alone at such a young age.

Especially after he came for the second time, he attracted her attention. After a little inquiry, she found out about Lucci’s identity.

Another time, I even saw Lucci take action.

“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Lucci put away the books and prepared to leave.

Julia replied: “There is a publishing business, but there is no sales.”

This is a business that is unique to Julia, which is dedicated to printing some learning books.

She is the eldest daughter of the Conrad family. She believes that gangster families cannot just do fighting and killing, but also need some knowledge.

Lucci paused to think.

“I understand, thank you.” Lucci hasn’t thought it through yet.

Then I left the bookstore.

Looking at Lucci’s departing back, Julia murmured, “Will it be published?”

What will be published?

Through reading, Lucci knew that this world was more closed than he had imagined.

Of course, the closure here is not only due to the “closed-door policy” of some countries, but also partly due to external factors.

The three major means of transportation had already been invented at this time.

But because of the environment of the hunter world, the traffic conditions are also very bad.

What is harsh is not the geographical environment, but the various animals in the wild.

The animals in the Hunter world are more ferocious than those in Lucci’s previous life, and large creatures on land are everywhere.

What kind of protected animals would there be in the previous life?

In the Hunter World, there will only be a dangerous species rating.

Similar accidents can occur on both roads and railways.

There is even the possibility of encountering even more terrifying monsters.

The ship is in the same environment, but there are more species of marine life and they are larger in size.

Every exploration of a safe route requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Even in the anime plot, a place like Greed Island has never been discovered by anyone, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

The final aviation was even more tragic.

In the era where Lucci lives now, there are airship airlines, but they are very few.

The dangers in the sky are no less than those on land and sea. Not only are there dangerous creatures in the air, but there are also various extreme climates, and this is becoming more and more true as you go further.

Even in the anime plot, there are no satellites in the Hunter world’s aviation development, otherwise many of the secrets of the Dark Continent would have been revealed.

In this day and age, there is a sense of “a lot of work to be done”.

Lucci pays attention to novels and also learns some information from them.

Of course, this was also chosen by Lucci as his first pot of gold.

His mental ability training could no longer achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time, so it was time to move on to other areas.

Prepare to practice martial arts, and while practicing martial arts, you also need to take good care of your body.

The Dark Continent is his ultimate goal, but there is no need to think about it for now.

Lucci’s goal now is to make some money while practicing.

This is a different world, plagiarism should be okay.

While Lucci was thinking, he was unknowingly surrounded by several people.

“Kid, hand over the money you have on you.” A group of thugs stopped Luffy.

Lucci was puzzled. Another blind person appeared?

This was not the first time that Lucci had been robbed when he went out.

The city of Kerry is famous for the Heavens Arena, but now it is far from the time of Gon and his friends, and order is still a big problem.

He has been walking this route for several years. Every time he is robbed, it boosts his reputation, and few people dare to rob him now.

Is he the new gangster?

“Hand over the money quickly.” These thugs couldn’t help but take action, and their first target was Lucci’s schoolbag.

Lucci sighed and disappeared.

The thugs felt dizzy, then felt pain in the back of their necks and passed out.

Lucci believes that he has no combat experience relative to opponents who can fight.

I have quite a lot of experience dealing with such thugs.

Looking not far away, a figure who was about to rush over stopped and showed a surprised expression on his face.

“You actually…” Piccolo was surprised at what he saw.

Originally, he was thinking that he didn’t have much money left, and with his injuries, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to continue to break through the floors.

In this case, he planned to find a part-time job in Chris to at least ensure that he would not starve to death.

Unfortunately, given his condition, most places wouldn’t accept him, not to mention that his hands were still weak.

However, he learned that there was a bookstore nearby that provided temporary jobs, so he decided to try his luck. Then he saw the gangsters surrounding Lucci.

He was about to help, but he didn’t expect to see Lucci making a move.

Of course he also recognized Lucci. How could this little referee be so awesome?

Simply incredible.

Lucci also noticed the other party.

“This is the third time. It seems like we have some fate.” Lucci said.

He is usually a reserved person. As a reborn being, and obsessed with cultivation, Lucci doesn’t have many friends.

“I wanted to help you, but it seems there’s no need for me to do anything.” Piccolo said regretfully.

I originally wanted to help others, so at least I could get a meal for myself!

If I can’t get a temporary job in a bookstore, at least I can be guaranteed dinner.

“Thank you.” Piccolo expressed his gratitude again.

“Gurgle!” Piccolo’s stomach growled at this time.

It made him feel a little embarrassed.

He didn’t feel full at all after eating the bread at noon.

Seeing the shy expression on the other person’s face, Lucci had already guessed why the other person might be here.

It’s a pity for such a person to fall into the gang.

“Since we have met, it seems like fate. I’ll treat you to a meal. Let’s go.” Lucci said directly.

“Ah!” Piccolo didn’t understand and followed him.

I don’t know the reason, maybe it was because I heard there was food to eat.

In fact, if he went further, he could get a temporary job and his food and accommodation problems would also be solved.

There are many people who come here and want to make a living by fighting, but in the Heavens Arena, they can never climb to the top and cannot make a living, so very few people can hold on to the bottom line.
