Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 15

His stomach growled almost imperceptibly.

"The last time you came to see me, I think you said the same thing..."

Uvogin swallowed all the food in his mouth without gulping it down.

Then he raised his fist at Finks: "But last time, I beat you up and you ran away..."

"what?"

Finks's eyebrow-less brow twitched rapidly: "It was just my motorcycle that got damaged!!"

He laughed angrily, "If I hadn't been so focused on my motorcycle, how could you have gotten away?!"

"You're only so stubborn with your words, even stubborner than your XX~"

"Your fists are so limp, softer than a woman's vagina!!"

The two of them started shouting at each other.

They even resorted to foul language and started using vulgar words.

"I said you two..."

Just as the two were on the verge of a fight, ready to put their fists on the table and have a big battle ahead.

Mog rolled his eyes: "Can't you see there are still people eating here?!"

"Whose stomach are you trying to put off by saying such things?!"

"嘁~!"

Upon hearing this, Uvogin turned his head away.

He didn't even glance at Finks again, leaving him with a blunt sneer.

He had just eaten a large piece of meat from Mog, so he had to give him that much face.

Uvogin wasn't the kind of person who would eat meat and then curse the cook.

"Um?!!"

On the contrary, it was Phinks who, for the first time, shifted his gaze from Uvogin to Mog.

"You gave this food to Uvogin and the others?!"

It must be said that Enhancement users have very accurate intuition.

He immediately recognized who the main person who brought the food was.

Well, the main reason is that Uvogin and Machi are usually dirt poor.

Being able to barely fill one's stomach is already a blessing, let alone eating so well.

This is something that still makes him swallow hard even now.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's you! That makes things much easier~~~"

Phinks's lips twitched, and then...

"In that case..."

His face once again displayed that same expression he had shown when facing Kuroro—an expression that was both an attempt to appear as amiable as possible, yet also incredibly ferocious:

"Do you have any other food here?!"

"Yes, we do have some. What, do you want some?"

Seeing Phinks' amusing expression, Mog's lips slowly curled up again.

'Of course! They've already asked, who wouldn't want to eat it?!'

Finks was inwardly grumbling, his Adam's apple bobbing, but on his face he was trying his best to make his expression appear as "amiable" as possible.

But before he could speak, he heard Mog say this:

"If you want to eat it~~~"

He finished his bowl of braised pork and potato rice, wiped his mouth and smiled: "You can ask me for a favor, or ask me for a favor."

Phinks: "???"

Feitan also turned his head and squinted at Mog.

Upon hearing this, Uvogin, who was standing nearby, grinned from ear to ear.

"Finks, you bastard, you've finally met your match!!"

He looked at Finks standing there, stunned, and couldn't help but feel a surge of schadenfreude.

Chapter 021 How did a stutter turn him into this?!

From Uvogin's perspective, Mog's request was quite excessive.

Just like how I was very curious and wanted to understand Mog's power before, and I got angry because Mog made me beg him.

Making them bow down to others in public is harder than killing them.

Although Uvogin believed this was simply Mog's idea, without any other meaning.

But for Phinks, it would likely be nothing short of blatant mockery and humiliation.

"So, in the end, it all comes down to skill!"

Uvogin clenched his fists, ready to go to war.

However, at the same time, he also came to a realization.

The situation that Mog had told him before, where he was asked to beg him, might just be Mog's unique way of doing things.

Or is it... some kind of peculiar requirement or condition?

Uvogin, whose mind wasn't stupid, also began to ponder.

But the next moment, he was the one who froze on the spot.

"Is it just a request?"

Phinks snapped out of his daze and asked the same question again.

After receiving a positive reply from Mog~~~

"That's it, I understand..."

He nodded seriously, and then:

"Please, give us the same kind of food as Uvogin, something that can fill our stomachs, tastes delicious, and smells wonderful!"

Finks acted decisively and began making the request.

Uvogin: "??????"

No, buddy~

You actually asked me to ask you to do it?!

Where is your backbone?!

Where did your arrogant and unruly attitude go when you were yelling about fighting me?!

How did my stuttering turn me into this?!

Uvogin couldn't understand it, but Phinks secretly sneered.

"You're so full you don't feel hungry, so you don't think anything of it. It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering..."

Phinks glanced at the stunned Uvogin and pretty much knew what the bastard was thinking.

You're all stuffed and bloated, but we're still starving.

You're just a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man.

They just finished eating, and they're already putting on airs.

"Besides, he just asked us to ask him for a favor; it's not like he's doing anything particularly unreasonable. What's the big deal?!"

Finks felt no shame whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt at ease and took it all for granted.

He even felt that Mog's request was nothing at all.

When he was little, Finks had experienced and faced even more outrageous things than this in order to get a bite to eat.

You have to understand, this is Meteor City, not some place where they're just fooling around and playing house.

That could really kill people.

Moreover, everyone is fighting for survival resources, such as the most important food.

If simply asking for favors could fill one's stomach, then at least nine out of ten people in Meteor City would be willing to do it!

"Besides, didn't you also get food by following this guy?"

Phinks's gaze toward Uvogin gradually turned disdainful again.

"You yourselves are just following in other people's footsteps for a living, yet you're here laughing at me?"

"Stop joking around!!"

Stop trying to make me laugh!

"Hey, what kind of look is that?!"

This time, it was Uvogin who got angry and howled furiously.

But Finks ignored him completely; right now, nothing mattered more than eating!

Feitan, standing to the side, remained silent, though he was slightly annoyed by this request.

However, having always stood on the same side as Phinks, he still chose to respect his comrade's opinion.

Of course, the main reason is that these foods are just too delicious.

Especially when he saw Machina carefully scraping every single grain of rice from the black coconut and putting it into her mouth.

His throat moved even more violently.

"No problem, since you've asked, I'll oblige."
