Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 221

To be precise, which peculiar robot was it, and who brought it out?

"It can only be said that this is quite in line with the old man's usual practices and habits."

Kim Freecss was already used to Netero's unusual hobby.

Moreover, he vaguely understood what Mog wanted the two-star hunter's achievements for.

"Are there any vice presidents among the twelve high-ranking hunters~~~?"

Kim Freecss gently stroked his beard and chin.

He had little interest in, nor any particular thoughts about, the vice president of the Hunter Association.

However, if one is a high-ranking hunter and enjoys certain internal authority within the association...

He felt that this was something worth trying to achieve.

Yes, I may not use such permissions, but I cannot be without them, nor can I allow others to arbitrarily restrict me.

When it comes to important matters, Kim Freecss can still distinguish right from wrong.

And the more this was the case, the more he understood what Mog's actions and pursuits truly meant.

"But that makes for quite a show to watch~~~"

King Freecss lowered his head in deep thought, "That guy Pariston will definitely not just let the vice-chairmanship slip away right before his eyes."

"He's been eyeing this position for a long time, and he's definitely not going to just sit here and wait to die..."

King Freecss knew Pariston's character well and what he was after.

This is in fundamental conflict with what Mog wants.

This is completely unsolvable; the two of them are bound to have conflicts.

So if these two were to face off...

"The Hunter Association is sure to become quite lively and exciting."

Thinking of this, Kim Freecss suddenly raised his head:

"You think so too, right, Chairman Netero?"

"They released the bait of the [Vice President], hoping that Pariston and Mogg would fight over it and cause a conflict."

"What you're watching from behind must be very interesting, right?"

"All that's missing is to brew yourself a cup of tea, grab a bag of rice crackers, and properly admire your masterpiece, right?"

"Using this mere position of 'Vice President,' which you don't even value, you've stirred up a fight between those two~~~"

"Given this opportunity to watch the excitement and have some fun, you've made a really interesting decision, Chairman Netero~~~."

Chapter 175 Hardware! The Development of the Network World! Hello? Are you there, Kuroro?

King Freecss knew very well that Chairman Netero wanted to gather a group of twelve high-ranking leaders for the Hunter Association.

On the surface, the public's propaganda is for the better development of the Hunter Association, so that there are excellent people to better divide the work and lead it.

But in reality, Kim Freecss knew better than anyone what his chairman was thinking.

Isn't it just that they want to take this opportunity to find some suitable friends to hang out with?!

Even though they're all over the age, they still love to stir things up.

It even escalated to the point where someone was sent to assassinate him.

I don't know what kind of hobby this is.

However, this did not prevent Kim Freecss from getting a spot from inside.

Moreover, Kim Freecss's willingness to join is a good thing for Chairman Netero, who wants things to be even more exciting.

If nothing unexpected or unforeseen happens, he'll probably get a position.

Of course, we don't need many Kim Fu Li Shi, just one seat at the very end will do.

As for the vice president, who's at an even higher level...

"Let those two fight it to the death."

Kim Freecss shook his head, not intending to pay any attention to the matter.

However~~~

Before he could even take a couple of steps forward, he hesitated again...

"Never mind, I'll just keep an eye on it."

Kim Freecss thought nonchalantly, "Let's see who wins this position in the end."

He was just as curious, or rather, ~730~~

Watching the drama unfold is human nature, even for someone like Kim Freecss.

Just as Kim Freecss was preparing for follow-up, Mog was also having further discussions with Iksumbe.

You mean our network platform can be built, but there are still gaps in hardware?

In cyberspace, after listening to Mog's explanation, Iksumbe's graffiti-like face, which was completely expressionless, seemed thoughtful.

"That's right, pretty much it~"

Mog cleared his throat, which was sore from speaking so much. "As for the signal, there's your network space construction."

"There's absolutely no need to worry about that."

"But whether the devices used by those who use the internet can handle the amount of data traffic is a question."

"Current equipment does not yet enable them to browse the internet quickly and easily."

Well, in this day and age, people generally use computers to access the internet.

But most of them were those bulky, slicked-back computers, and they were bloated, complicated, expensive, and very troublesome.

Internet users who are able to access the internet generally come from well-off families and can afford to buy computers.

But this is not what Mog and Iksumbe wanted to see.

What they envisioned was for most people in the world to participate, a truly universal approach open to the entire world and all people.

If it is only used within a small circle, and is a privilege reserved for the privileged class.

This doesn't align with either of their goals.

To break this monopoly of a small circle, the only option is to further improve the hardware technology.

The real goal is to promote computers and the internet to the whole world.

In other words, our first priority is to expand the internet's audience and give ordinary people access to the internet.

Iksumbe was a smart man after all, and he quickly drew inferences from Mog's words.

Only by getting more people involved in online activities can we better expand our scale, development, and influence.

To achieve this, we must lower the barriers to internet access and make computers more widely available...

So the problem comes full circle; it's still about solving the hardware infrastructure issue.

And on this point...

This is very easy to handle.

What Mog initially saw as a major problem was, in Iksumbe's opinion, readily agreed to.

It was as if he had a solution right away, as if it were no difficult problem at all.

[Perfect timing! I previously participated in designing a game with Kim and the other guys.]

Many of the hardware components used in that machine would be perfectly suited for making a computer!

Not only is the cost low, but its performance is also fully capable of supporting the network!

Iksombe immediately wrote the answer Mog wanted on the cardboard.

"The game designed by King Freecss~~~"

Mog's eyes flickered slightly: "What's the name of that game?"

"Greed Island"

Iksumbe gave Mogna an answer that wasn't surprising: "And it's already finished, and it's expected to be released this year."

That was indeed a very interesting game.

Even Iksumbe praised it, which shows how groundbreaking this game must be.

Mog, who had known about its existence for a long time, also agreed.

"If I have the chance in the future, I want to get my hands on one and have some fun with it."

Mog echoed the praise, and then pressed Iksumbe for details about the hardware.

After understanding the structure of building a basic computer, Mog asked about his main purpose:

"Generally speaking, once these hardware components are in place, who should you contact to build the computer?"

[We need to find factories that manufacture computers, but those capitalists are ruthless and exploitative.]

Iksombey seemed to be muttering curses: "[Even the factories run by professional hunters are the same.]"

Clearly, he had suffered many losses at the hands of those so-called capitalists.

[And I don't plan to ask Kim's company for help!!]

Iksumbe stiffened its neck, appearing quite resolute this time: "That guy's company is busy releasing 'Greed Island,' they don't have time for our petty squabbles~~~"

This is no small matter.

Mog felt it was necessary to change Iksumbe's somewhat flawed thinking.

However, what Iksumbe said next came through:

And he's the one who tricked me the worst!!

Iksombe was still furious: "He even said he was only in charge of the production and manufacturing process."

The distribution and sales of the products are handled by professionals within the company.
