• Franklin stayed behind at Sharku Manor to arrange food, then joined the game after Ian explained it to him.

• Ian opened the Anywhere Door and led the group to the Gandor Ruins, where the newcomers marveled at the journey and their surroundings.
• Ian struck the ground with a Power Pickaxe and began mining.

Ian buried the group’s treasured possessions and a feast, then poured Synthetic Mountain Element over them to create veins from which copies would grow.

• Ian added a gold bar and a lavish feast to the pit, then poured in Synthetic Mountain Element and covered everything with dirt.
• Ian told the group to return the next day to dig up their harvest, and they left the Gandor Ruins to wait.

• Peji’s leaders celebrated after misleading the opposition and assumed the Rose Bomb had killed the monster in Feilieka.

• Tsubone dug up treasures and set them aside as gifts for the unborn Killua.
• Ian, Uvogin, Nobunaga, Chrollo, and the others trained by digging with Nen-coated iron pickaxes and replenishing their energy with food from the mineral vein.

• Biscuit recognized that Ian and the others had entered Flow by balancing Nen expenditure with food absorption.
• Biscuit brought them more food and watched over them to keep their training undisturbed.

Ian and the others pushed themselves into an intense state of training until they collapsed from exhausting their potential, while Ian continued digging. Biscuit noticed that Ian’s body kept recovering enough to sustain another training cycle, leaving her convinced that his extraordinary aptitude set him apart.

• Ian, Uvogin, Nobunaga, Chrollo, and the others immersed themselves in training as they excavated the cave, steadily growing thinner while their Nen strengthened.
• Uvogin reached his limit and collapsed, so Biscuit carried him to Sharku Manor and arranged for Cookie-chan to help him recover.
• Franklin, Nobunaga, Feitan, Illumi, and Chrollo collapsed in turn, and Biscuit brought them back to rest while Pakunoda and Machi watched over them.

• Ian stopped digging, learned from Biscuit that two days and two nights had passed, and discovered that Uvogin and the others had collapsed from overexertion.
• Biscuit warned Ian that his body was extremely weak, then accompanied him back to Sharku Manor, where Machi, Pakunoda, and Elina checked on him.
• Ian apologized for worrying the others and considered using his check-in rewards or Time Cloth if Uvogin and the others needed help.
• In Peji, President Xiupa panicked as he watched the monster outside the city and questioned his military commanders about whether they could hold out for V5 rescue.
• Xiupa saw dozens of airships arrive, believed the V5 had come to rescue them, and decided he wanted to flee and seek political asylum.
