Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 44

At the same time, they could feel the prayers from the children in the audience for Dr. Heimerdinger, the "great inventor".

All sorts of prayers became the best nourishment for the birth of his invention.

I believe that his works will become even more popular once they reach the outside world.

Just as the screening was ending, Mog stretched his legs and moved his feet to loosen his muscles before preparing to leave.

Suddenly, Father Lizor called out to him.

“Come, Elder Babagra wants to see you.”

Babagra... Elder?

In Meteor City, only the highest ruler of Meteor City can be given the title of "Elder".

"it is good."

Mog nodded slightly.

He had long anticipated this day would come after he had agreed to Father Lizor's request.

After tidying himself up a bit, he followed Father Lizor into the Western-style classical building.

Mog finally understood why there was a church in Meteor City.

Judging from the decorations of this house, you can pretty much tell that the elders here are big believers in the so-called Christian God.

"Are you Mog?"

When Mog arrived before Elder Babagra, his wrinkled face came into view.

Mog could even see the wrinkled mouth moving.

“Lizor often praises you to me.”

Elder Babagra said slowly, "As you know, Meteor City has many problems that need to be solved."

"But now, we are facing a very serious problem."

"Many people from the outside world regard this place as a paradise for them to do evil."

"I'd like to ask if you have any good solutions to this?"

He didn't waste any pleasantries; he got straight to the point.

This is a question that everyone in Meteor City, from the elderly to children, knows.

So Mog was not surprised at all and gave the same answer directly:

"Anyone who comes here to do evil in the future will be dealt with."

"Of course I know that."

Elder Babagra's eyes were indifferent. "It's not just me; this is the first thought of most people in Meteor City."

"So, you should know that the answer I want to hear isn't that simple."

"Yes, I know."

Mog nodded. Such a broad answer, while correct, was practically no different from no answer at all.

Everyone knows this is the correct approach, but the key question is... how to do it!

If Elder Babagra could really get rid of those evildoers who came to commit crimes, he should just do it.

Is it really necessary to come here to listen to Mog's opinion?

The key point is that he can't do that!!

Therefore, what he wanted to hear was Mog's specific approach.

"I think there are two aspects to solving this problem: focusing on the present and looking to the future."

Mog smiled slightly: "The so-called 'standing firm in the present' means that, as far as I know, there are quite a few outsiders in Meteor City who kidnap the children here to achieve their unknown purposes."

"So the first step is to find these guys and give them a taste of their own medicine. They should make them pay the same price for how they treated those children."

"As for how to find those guys..."

Mog raised his head and met Elder Babagra's gaze without any hesitation: "This can be left to me."

"Do you have any idea?"

Elder Babagra asked in a deep voice.

"Have."

Mog nodded.

"Alright, I need to see results within a week at the very least."

"no problem."

In just a few words, the two of them set the tone for the matter.

Elder Babagra's meaning was simple: since you've proposed a solution, then it's up to you to implement it.

He won't inquire about the specific methods or measures; it's entirely up to you to figure it out.

All he wanted was the final result of achieving his goal.

As for whether Mog's method ultimately succeeded or failed...

Success would be ideal, and Elder Babagra would certainly not be stingy with those who have made contributions and are capable.

At that time, the entire Meteor City will be a source of support for Mog.

If it fails...

That doesn't matter at all.

Since this problem hasn't been solved yet, even if Mog fails, it won't have any impact.

In any case, Elder Babagra won't lose out.

“I am now starting to believe Father Lizor’s assessment of you.”

Elder Babagra nodded slightly to Mog, his gaze softening.

Mog accepted the task decisively and without any preamble or conditions.

This style alone was enough to earn Elder Babagra's admiration.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Mog succeeds in doing things.

Losers are worthless.

"So, what about looking to the future?"

[Focusing on the present] After all, this is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. There are too many criminals outside. Even if one group is driven away, another group of reckless individuals will continue to come.

The key is how to eradicate this phenomenon.

"Actually, it's not difficult to completely cure this problem~~~"

Mog's lips curled into a slight smile: "I once heard a saying..."

"Hit with one punch, and avoid a hundred punches."

"We want the world to know that Meteor City is not to be trifled with."

"If anyone tries to harm us, they will inevitably have to pay an extremely heavy price."

"Only by making those guys outside feel the pain will they stop reaching out to us."

A single punch can ward off a hundred more...

Elder Babagra pondered the meaning of this statement and found it to be very reasonable.

"How to do?"

"If we want the outside world to realize this, we need to create something that will leave a very deep impression on them..."

Mog continued, "Such a point can be an event or a sentence."

"It's best to use a single sentence to promote the message, and then use an event to confirm it, thus reinforcing their impression."

"As for the propaganda..."

Mog paused for a moment, then looked up at the elder Babagra, who was listening intently, and at Father Lizor, who had been silent to the side.

"We don't reject anything, but don't try to take anything away from us."

"..."

"I never expected you could come up with such a declaration!!"

Father Lizor was still slightly dazed when he led Mog out of the house.

Especially when he muttered that sentence, his gaze toward Mog was particularly complicated.

However, beyond the complexity, there is also relief.

Sure enough, he hadn't misjudged him.

Mog's words also presented a seemingly entirely feasible path for Meteor City at present.

It may involve a lot of blood and fire, but for the people of Meteor City...

This is something they take for granted; it happens almost every day.

As for whether this approach will cause a backlash...

You have to understand, they are the real victims!

Just as Mog said, "We don't reject anything, but don't try to take anything away from us."

If you simply want to come to Meteor City, that's fine; it has everything.

However, if you want to do something bad to Meteor City, then don't be surprised if they react excessively in return.

"After all, in my opinion, anyone who wants to cause trouble for Meteor City is no good."

Mog, walking ahead, shrugged. "He's not exactly a formidable opponent."

Well, what kind of good person or strong person would specifically come to deal with Meteor City, this abandoned place?

When the strong are angered and humiliated, they will only strive to become stronger and draw their swords against those who are even more powerful than themselves.
