Borkson: “I summon pot of greed.” Morena: “Wrong game.” Borkson: “Ok then I summon Pikachu.” Morena: “Also wrong game and you can only ask me a question.” Borkson: “Will the curse of Melodussy ever go away?” Morena: “No.”
Morena grows angry, finally losing her super cool kinda-high-looking facade, Borksen thus wins... death, brutal as Togashi demands, Tserri find this eventually and find some more of his humanity as he fucks Morena up with his perfectly timed Zetsu-driven Hatsu. Togashi is my second uncle.

Melody's invitation from different princess including tserrednich. And many more. Can you add more plots here? And your theories how's it gonna end?
Can't wait for the next chapter when Morena reveals that there are several expansions as well as card packs and we spend the rest of the manga doing card rips for super rare cards.
Then it is revealed that Morena wants to destroy humanity because, when she was in highschool, a wealthy heiress from a rival mafia faction ripped her grandpa's priceless card.
Normally, I'd think a character like Borksen overconfident for thinking she could just read Morena's verbal cues, but she did immediately pick up on the deep anger and fury sat right before her
My theory is that, since Borksen has inferred her win condition is to get X, Morena's clever enough to have actually made X HER win condition. Maybe X, Yes, and No are all the same outcome, which is Borksen going back to her soldier friends, and all Morena actually wants is to get Borksen to use deal. Then the "small request" is a lil kiss, and Borksen can return thinking she won the game an unaware she's infected. We know from the rules that this will be the outcome. Deal allows Borksen to choose a specific card from her graveyard, so it appears to give her a ton of power. When Borksen's down to two cards left, unless those two happen to be X and Return (a 1/10 chance), Borksen knows that there's a chance of Morena picking her winning card next round causing her to lose the game. Since Morena goes last, then for Borksen to be 100% certain she can be left with X or Return, Borksen will have to pick Deal when she's down to two cards. Morena's set it up so her own actual goal is to get Borksen to complete the small request, NOT to have Borksen be left with Yes.
I think Togashi is showing the game with Borgsen for us to understand how Morena wins and how the game works in her favor and later Crollo will play the game and it will be much more satisfying when Crollo wins and Morena loses. I hope we get to see what plays out in detail in both cases and Togashi is able to write as much as he can.
Togashi is a big fan of card games he was even friends with kazuki takahashi the author of yugioh to such an extent where the authors note in chapter 391 was him reminising about laughing together about each other series
Yeah, the nen system lends itself perfectly to card games too bc there's so many rules and restrictions that could be applied. Someone in this universe likely has a Poker ability that's probably one of the most powerful abilities in the game lol. LET'S GO GAMBLING
>Togashi introduces new card game >Most of the options in it are an excuse for exposition Many people have been complaining about the text dumps, so I guess he wanted to make it more entertaining in a way.
I don't think he cares about the public opinions, or else the manga would be radically different than it is. Since the beginning he makes some decisions that are not the potentially most pleasing one to the public... and we have to assume he does it on purpose because he is a genius and a manga veteran. His breakthrough was YYH, that made him rich (for manga author standards in the 90s) before even starting HxH. He breaks some "conventions" that are easily expected from this kind of work that is action adventure with energy powers, and as he is getting older he is caring even less about delivering the "ideal shonen" that the average audience wants to see.
Hisoka: can I like... Use the cards to kill someone? As in... With the edge of the card. Morena: no, but you use the "transition" card. This card gives you the chance to ask me a question. But it also makes the game transition to an entire different game of shogi. Then, if you win that game, you have to flip a coin. But the coin has to ALWAYS land standing on a side. If it doesn't... Well, armageddon. Hisoka: man this boring af. I'm vanilla. When do I fight someone? Gon: I feel you bro.
I can see why Hisoka doesn’t like facing against abilities like this Gon would’ve been at a huge disadvantage this arc since things can’t be solved as simply “raw power”
Man oh man, how crazy would it be if it turned out that Contagion Game was actually the ability of someone that really doesn't like humanity... Someone like say, Gyro? If we ever get a focus on Gon again, having him pitted against Gyro and having to relearn nen would certainly be interesting, especially if Contagion Game is an ability currently being spread back on the mainland. I know it's a shot in the dark, but that's what Hunter X Hunter fans are here for!
If it really is a nen game. Them choosing X either wipes her memory or steals or seals her nen ability. Since those would keep melodussy safe. One by not divulging the information and the other by taking the nen skill she needs or just sealing her off. Meaning she has no use for her anymore
I was just under the assumption that yes or no would be bad answers because the request didn't have to be ask until the last card which means it could be formed in the negative or positive. I.E. "Join me" for Yes or "Don't join me" for No.
One of the most interesting about togashinis in knowledge in so many various fields and how he integrates it into the manga, which is a world building tool that’s underrated for sure
Morena will "not cheat" because her game is rigged. The goal is that Bork doesn't say "no", no on what exactly? The final request or "small request". If her goal is actually to get the "small request" fulfilled, making the other party to focus on wanting the "deal" card to get a card back would do it. The final goal is an illusion while her real goal is actually out in the open but just at mid point of said final goal.
I believe one of the mini requests would be to kiss morena, and her actual request would be to kill tseriednich. I believe she may reveal his crimes to get her to agree.
I love how he can set up a bunch of things and then be like nah bruh and create a whole new scenario throwing out everything you thought would happen 👌🏾
I do belive she has already been kissed, and granted contaignon. The game they are playing is Morenas other abilety to enforce rules to participants of contaignon, seems as an appropriative condition. In this case the game would exist only to speedrun Volksens Levels
Don’t remember where I heard this but the QA card never mentioned that you couldn’t repeat a question twice, it was only softly implied by the rules of the QB card but since we’re all about semantics in games like these it could be a pivotal loophole.
I love how comfortable Borksen is in this situation. She’s just chilling on the couch while the mafia plays games with her life. It’s like Morena is on a first date with someone she met off Bumble
It could be Morena doesn't want Borkson to select no because if she did Morena would have to dispose of Borkson which Morena doesn't want to do because it may be hard to find another person like Borkson. Where as if Borkson selects X then there is still a chance Morena can get Borkson to their side. Perhaps X doesn't actually end the game and merely delays it allowing Morena to activate the ability again on Borkson but perhaps with different restrictions.
I like the fact that after Morena explains that she is the parent and Borksen is the Child, she gives Borksen the order to turn the cards on Borksens side around in a specific order. That could be a condition because why would they be not face up as Morenas cards when she has to explain the rules first anyway?
9:22 i was thinking the "being efficient" part might be referring to the troupe members headed to the Heil-ly hideout, since presumably these guys already know that through the mole
Yes and No basically have 50/50 chances. Joker, Return, and X all have the potential of saying Yes or No. X is the only card with the additional option to leave without engaging the game at all. So the point of the game is to present a compelling argument to Borky to convince her to join and select Yes. After all, the game gives Morena the ability to explain her side and present her case for joining. If you want to set up a game of chance as the House, you want a game where you have the winning advantage. The game itself is more a reason to get Borkington to explore Morena's motives of her own volition....or at least feel like it was of her own volition. That or just kiss.
Who does the artwork for this channel, especially the style at 2:09 (and at other points in the video too of course). Do they have an instagram or something?
the deal card is also a catch, because we assume bork would use it to try and revive the X or revive card, but depending on which is in the graveyard morenas request could be “i request that you don’t revive the x card” which also amounts to a wasted turn
Both "Power" and "Aim" are only important for Borksen in case she finishes with X and goes away, because otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to come into contact with anyone who could use that information. Similarly, "Yes?" and "No?" are only important if she finishes with Joker because then she needs to decide between the two answers. Furthermore, Borksen already knows that Morena wants to recruit her, so she could probably make a guess what happens with Yes, especially if she picks "Power". So "No?" is definitely the better question. I'm too lazy to come up with good "Question A" questions, but since "Question B" can only be played after A and "Power", "Aim", "Deal" and "No?" are all potentially of higher priority, I don't think "Question B" will get played. Of course, if Joker goes to the graveyard, "No?" and "Yes?" become unimportant, so I would wait until the last turn (I have only one card remaining) to ask "No?" only if I know that Joker is the card that is left. I would play "Deal" if at least one of Return and X go to the graveyard, but I would hold off on it for as long as possible (until I have two cards left). So if we assume the worst case (that I would need to play "No?" and "Deal" in the last and second-to-last turn), then the first three questions are left for "Question A", "Question B", "Power" and "Aim". If someone can come up with good A and B questions, I am happy to hear it.
I have to believe Morena fully dominates this situation then later she uses it again against Kurapika, Chrollo or 4th prince fully confident and gets decimated
I have the feeling that the request will be, not to join the family herself, but to directly do the thing that she is supposed to do. Like kill the fourth prince for example. I'd see that as a way easier thing for Morena to convince Borksen then the vague proposition of joining the Heil-Ly . But idk...
I just dont see a world where Borkson walks out of this fine. Kinda feels like the card game is a symbolic representation of Morena’s experience with the world. From the moment they enter the “game” children are screwed over by their parents and have no chance of safety.
The small request being a kiss is a very smart move and I really like this idea, let's see if it wilk happen or if maybe Borksen will find a way to perceive Morena's intention and find a way out of it (though I don't see what it could be right now)
Morena seems very comfortable with this game. That makes me think that she's had this ability for a long time. Maybe this is her ability from the first time she played the contagion game, then she reached level 100, and now she's just unlocked a 3rd hatsu ability not yet revealed. That would be bad news. Who knows? Worst case scenario, maybe Contagion is Gyro's ability and he's started the beginning of a worldwide catastrophe.
just a thought I don't think he will ever return in the series but I could see Gyro working with someone like Morena since they have very similar goals of upending the world in some fashion.
morena might have more than one plan according to the final card, maybe if borksen got the x card they will let her go but apply a surveillance ability on her so they can spy on the military, maybe they even want her to go back and inform the royal army as a part of their scheme, also borksen joining them wholeheartedly after learning about morena's goals isn't that far fetched
I believe her chances of getting out of the game without responding are 40%. There are 120 (5x4x3x2) possible alternatives of card selections, out of which, in 24 cases (4x3x2) we end up with return card, and other 24 we end up with X card. That's 48/120 = 40%. Assuming of course she selects the X card if the last card is return.
I would love to find out that contagion was not originally Morena's ability. It could have fun implications (but maybe make the arc longer indirectly).
My concern about picking the Power card is that Morena will explain Contagion Game instead of the card game. I'm still considering the possibility that this whole game is conjured by somebody else
Early leaks for the next chapter shed some more light on Morena's past in case anyone's interested. WARNING: SPOILERS ************************************** ************************************* ************************************* It looks like, as a child, she was in a situation very similar to Sarasa's except she SURVIVED.
There was some hating on 407 online but I think it creates huge hype for 408. we are being set up with a big info dump on Morena at last and it has the potential to be amazing. Get ready for lots of text 😅..unless Togashi trolls us and skips to the outcome
It makes me angry and disappointed to know that well most likely have to wait a year (or two) for the next chapters after 410... even maybe 408... these seven chapters so far have been pure delight
if Morena was a nen user before contaigen, wouldn't she has three seperate abilities then? That's why I don't think she was, otherwise she would be a tough opponent for anyone. If someone has more than one ability, these abilities usually tend to play into each other, so once you figure one out, rest are easier to figure out. But if Morena had three completely independent, fully developed abilities, that sounds almost broken. Even if two of them, cards and contaigen, are full utility, that's still wild. Tho I guess that's what the peak of nen users looks like: Ging who can reproduce any ability so far and possibly improve it, multiple specialists with abilities to borrow or steal abilities, Tserry and his future sight and menagerie of nen pets, and Kurapika with his chains. It seems that unless your ability is versitile enough to fit any problem, locking into simple or overly specific abilities feels like a crutch for quick power without room for evolution
Watch Togashi make this the most intense card game of all time
Fo Real. 😂😂🤣🤣
Definitely gone be 10 chapters long but we gone get backto the game because it's 50 other miscellaneous things too cover
Nah fr 😂😂😂😂

Pot of GREED!!!

Normally, I'd think a character like Borksen overconfident for thinking she could just read Morena's verbal cues, but she did immediately pick up on the deep anger and fury sat right before her
She probably can see it in the fourth prince and that’s why she doesn’t give him a nickname

My theory is that, since Borksen has inferred her win condition is to get X, Morena's clever enough to have actually made X HER win condition. Maybe X, Yes, and No are all the same outcome, which is Borksen going back to her soldier friends, and all Morena actually wants is to get Borksen to use deal. Then the "small request" is a lil kiss, and Borksen can return thinking she won the game an unaware she's infected.
We know from the rules that this will be the outcome. Deal allows Borksen to choose a specific card from her graveyard, so it appears to give her a ton of power.

Morena's set it up so her own actual goal is to get Borksen to complete the small request, NOT to have Borksen be left with Yes.
Answering with Yes just seems like a cherry on top while no is less optimal but still an outcome Morena is fine with
I'm a simple man I see man on the internet I'm happy thank you Liam

I think Togashi is showing the game with Borgsen for us to understand how Morena wins and how the game works in her favor and later Crollo will play the game and it will be much more satisfying when Crollo wins and Morena loses.

I don't think he cares about the public opinions, or else the manga would be radically different than it is. Since the beginning he makes some decisions that are not the potentially most pleasing one to the public... and we have to assume he does it on purpose because he is a genius and a manga veteran.

He breaks some "conventions" that are easily expected from this kind of work that is action adventure with energy powers, and as he is getting older he is caring even less about delivering the "ideal shonen" that the average audience wants to see.
I woke up like, did my nigga drop something for us today?
Hell yeah he did. Let’s eat.

MIND BLOWN
The amount this comment section goes on about melodussy one would think they're obsessed with it...
If it really is a nen game. Them choosing X either wipes her memory or steals or seals her nen ability.
Since those would keep melodussy safe. One by not divulging the information and the other by taking the nen skill she needs or just sealing her off. Meaning she has no use for her anymore
"- What's your answer?"
( ) Yes
( ) No
(X) Melodussy
I was just under the assumption that yes or no would be bad answers because the request didn't have to be ask until the last card which means it could be formed in the negative or positive. I.E. "Join me" for Yes or "Don't join me" for No.
One of the most interesting about togashinis in knowledge in so many various fields and how he integrates it into the manga, which is a world building tool that’s underrated for sure
so this is the life purpose of playing yugioh, to understand morena's game
Lmfao the entire premise of one anime is just an ability for someone in another? That shit is lowkey OP if so 😂😂😂😂
fr if you don't have that yugioh background you def getting banished🤣
Morena will "not cheat" because her game is rigged.
The goal is that Bork doesn't say "no", no on what exactly? The final request or "small request".

How tf would they kill him tho
@@gabrielgoes0they won't lol. They'll prolly fail
Hisoka would love this game. He’s smart enough to win, and if not, he’s got Texture Surprise.
Togashi nerding out all over again. Love to see it❤
Weekly Melodussy update: i hate it
Give it a rest.

I love how he can set up a bunch of things and then be like nah bruh and create a whole new scenario throwing out everything you thought would happen 👌🏾
I do belive she has already been kissed, and granted contaignon. The game they are playing is Morenas other abilety to enforce rules to participants of contaignon, seems as an appropriative condition. In this case the game would exist only to speedrun Volksens Levels
Don’t remember where I heard this but the QA card never mentioned that you couldn’t repeat a question twice, it was only softly implied by the rules of the QB card but since we’re all about semantics in games like these it could be a pivotal loophole.
So we had card games while sitting, card games while standing completely still, card games on motorcycles and now we have card games on boats🥳
We need Gongi as Board Game, we also need Greed Island as PC or PS game :) And now this card game as TCG :)
This doesn't make sense as a TCG since there are only 12 cards tho
@gabrielgoes0 Oh my bad haha
Its crazy that an entire chapter was dedicated to learning about the ins and outs of a nen ability, and i still feel like i dont fully get it
It's not certainly a Nen ability yet. If it isn't then the situation will be even more funny and crazy. But that still can be called typical Togashi.
I love how comfortable Borksen is in this situation. She’s just chilling on the couch while the mafia plays games with her life. It’s like Morena is on a first date with someone she met off Bumble
Perhaps Merina is like komugi. She instantly knows every possible outcome.
It could be Morena doesn't want Borkson to select no because if she did Morena would have to dispose of Borkson which Morena doesn't want to do because it may be hard to find another person like Borkson. Where as if Borkson selects X then there is still a chance Morena can get Borkson to their side. Perhaps X doesn't actually end the game and merely delays it allowing Morena to activate the ability again on Borkson but perhaps with different restrictions.
i'm just waiting for the question "how do i win this game?"
This game made me remember the hxh mobage cards. I'm surprised you haven't made a video covering them.
I like the fact that after Morena explains that she is the parent and Borksen is the Child, she gives Borksen the order to turn the cards on Borksens side around in a specific order. That could be a condition because why would they be not face up as Morenas cards when she has to explain the rules first anyway?
9:22 i was thinking the "being efficient" part might be referring to the troupe members headed to the Heil-ly hideout, since presumably these guys already know that through the mole
Yes and No basically have 50/50 chances. Joker, Return, and X all have the potential of saying Yes or No. X is the only card with the additional option to leave without engaging the game at all. So the point of the game is to present a compelling argument to Borky to convince her to join and select Yes. After all, the game gives Morena the ability to explain her side and present her case for joining. If you want to set up a game of chance as the House, you want a game where you have the winning advantage. The game itself is more a reason to get Borkington to explore Morena's motives of her own volition....or at least feel like it was of her own volition.
That or just kiss.
Morena out here making the most violent leper colony to ever exist, lol.
Who does the artwork for this channel, especially the style at 2:09 (and at other points in the video too of course). Do they have an instagram or something?
Omg i just realized what the hair reminds me of, its Guile from streetfighter 🙏
the deal card is also a catch, because we assume bork would use it to try and revive the X or revive card, but depending on which is in the graveyard morenas request could be “i request that you don’t revive the x card” which also amounts to a wasted turn
Both "Power" and "Aim" are only important for Borksen in case she finishes with X and goes away, because otherwise she probably wouldn't be able to come into contact with anyone who could use that information.
Similarly, "Yes?" and "No?" are only important if she finishes with Joker because then she needs to decide between the two answers. Furthermore, Borksen already knows that Morena wants to recruit her, so she could probably make a guess what happens with Yes, especially if she picks "Power". So "No?" is definitely the better question.
I'm too lazy to come up with good "Question A" questions, but since "Question B" can only be played after A and "Power", "Aim", "Deal" and "No?" are all potentially of higher priority, I don't think "Question B" will get played.
Of course, if Joker goes to the graveyard, "No?" and "Yes?" become unimportant, so I would wait until the last turn (I have only one card remaining) to ask "No?" only if I know that Joker is the card that is left.
I would play "Deal" if at least one of Return and X go to the graveyard, but I would hold off on it for as long as possible (until I have two cards left).
So if we assume the worst case (that I would need to play "No?" and "Deal" in the last and second-to-last turn), then the first three questions are left for "Question A", "Question B", "Power" and "Aim".
If someone can come up with good A and B questions, I am happy to hear it.
Yall think the Melodussy makes Mac n cheese noises into a melody
….
I have to believe Morena fully dominates this situation then later she uses it again against Kurapika, Chrollo or 4th prince fully confident and gets decimated
Forget the melodussy comments im obsessed with morena. Shes one of the most interesting and appealing characters any manga has been blessed with.
I think selecting the "explain power" and stalling for time might be the best option, especially since you can find out why they are in a hurry.
Ahem. Melodussy.
What the fu-
Get out
Give it a rest, will ya?
HAHAHAHAHA
@@guanglaikangyi6054 can you explain pls
This arc might be the best anime arc ever if it happens
so glad every time i get a notification from you, dose of HxH right when i needed it

I have a feeling Marena might end up being the crashout of the century, there’s no way that calm persona can be maintained forever with so much hatred
I have the feeling that the request will be, not to join the family herself, but to directly do the thing that she is supposed to do. Like kill the fourth prince for example. I'd see that as a way easier thing for Morena to convince Borksen then the vague proposition of joining the Heil-Ly
. But idk...
I just dont see a world where Borkson walks out of this fine.
Kinda feels like the card game is a symbolic representation of Morena’s experience with the world. From the moment they enter the “game” children are screwed over by their parents and have no chance of safety.
The small request being a kiss is a very smart move and I really like this idea, let's see if it wilk happen or if maybe Borksen will find a way to perceive Morena's intention and find a way out of it (though I don't see what it could be right now)
Morena seems very comfortable with this game. That makes me think that she's had this ability for a long time. Maybe this is her ability from the first time she played the contagion game, then she reached level 100, and now she's just unlocked a 3rd hatsu ability not yet revealed. That would be bad news. Who knows? Worst case scenario, maybe Contagion is Gyro's ability and he's started the beginning of a worldwide catastrophe.
YES…but also NO…but at the same time YES…and conversely NO…yet simultaneously YES…but somewhat antithetically NO…
~_~
Been looking into double speak and lying without lying for this new chapter I really hope Togashi continues their conversation
The yes, no, or silence parallels pre Hunter exam Doki Doki Quiz so well.
Honestly I skimmed through the explanation in the manga and was waiting for your video 😂
Morena: If the girl says No, then the answer is obviously No!
But the thing is, she’s not gonna say No....because of the implication.
just a thought I don't think he will ever return in the series but I could see Gyro working with someone like Morena since they have very similar goals of upending the world in some fashion.
When the world needed him the most, he delivered!
Maybe also the time issue, might be that the longer she takes to come back, the more suspicious the others guards will be
Anyone else get the feeling Morena is just Sarasa all grown up?
Thats my wild theory from the last few chapters
morena might have more than one plan according to the final card, maybe if borksen got the x card they will let her go but apply a surveillance ability on her so they can spy on the military, maybe they even want her to go back and inform the royal army as a part of their scheme, also borksen joining them wholeheartedly after learning about morena's goals isn't that far fetched
I love the way Borkson and Volkson are both valid translations
I believe her chances of getting out of the game without responding are 40%. There are 120 (5x4x3x2) possible alternatives of card selections, out of which, in 24 cases (4x3x2) we end up with return card, and other 24 we end up with X card. That's 48/120 = 40%. Assuming of course she selects the X card if the last card is return.
If only the negotiations game properties had the property of rubber and gum😂😂
The joker card still has value because if Borksen said yes or no at the start of the game she'd have no information to go off of.
Fun fact: the dealer in card games, in Greece, is called mother.
I would love to find out that contagion was not originally Morena's ability. It could have fun implications (but maybe make the arc longer indirectly).
You know you stayed up too late when your the 5th view on a NewWorldReview video.
That new game plus analogy was exceptional. Well played
My concern about picking the Power card is that Morena will explain Contagion Game instead of the card game. I'm still considering the possibility that this whole game is conjured by somebody else
If morena is ever animated I’m gonna be so down bad.
Typical Togashi writing the most complicated kiss ever
Early leaks for the next chapter shed some more light on Morena's past in case anyone's interested.

It looks like, as a child, she was in a situation very similar to Sarasa's except she SURVIVED.
There was some hating on 407 online but I think it creates huge hype for 408. we are being set up with a big info dump on Morena at last and it has the potential to be amazing. Get ready for lots of text 😅..unless Togashi trolls us and skips to the outcome
Greed Island is my favorite arc, so I'm all for more card games
Love your videos, hxh the best
I'm so ready for the inner monologuing and action in 408
Thank you
Finally someone explain the game for me 🤩
I don't think the objective is "Yes" or "No". I think Morena is gunning for the "small favor" attached to the Deal card.
It makes me angry and disappointed to know that well most likely have to wait a year (or two) for the next chapters after 410... even maybe 408... these seven chapters so far have been pure delight
Thank you so much for explaining
Here early! It’s so late man I’ll watch this tomorrow 💀😭
It's five in the morning for me
Don't let this distract you from the fact that bungee gum has I ran over a pedestrian before the properties of rubber and g
Man. Thanks for this
I can't processed the video yet, still traumatise by the infamous melodussy...
If she's a player herself
How Did she kiss herself
Morena is Australian: Yeah, Nah
if Morena was a nen user before contaigen, wouldn't she has three seperate abilities then?
That's why I don't think she was, otherwise she would be a tough opponent for anyone. If someone has more than one ability, these abilities usually tend to play into each other, so once you figure one out, rest are easier to figure out. But if Morena had three completely independent, fully developed abilities, that sounds almost broken. Even if two of them, cards and contaigen, are full utility, that's still wild.
Tho I guess that's what the peak of nen users looks like: Ging who can reproduce any ability so far and possibly improve it, multiple specialists with abilities to borrow or steal abilities, Tserry and his future sight and menagerie of nen pets, and Kurapika with his chains. It seems that unless your ability is versitile enough to fit any problem, locking into simple or overly specific abilities feels like a crutch for quick power without room for evolution
Now I wanted to see Yugi play this in a shadow game
i wonder if theres a maximum of time u could play contegion , play it so much you can be a specialist nen user
