Chapter Summaries

Shen Fei encountered Gon, Killua, and Leorio at Yorknew City's dealer market, where Gon earned money arm-wrestling challengers, including Shizuku of the Phantom Troupe. After learning that Gon and Killua wanted to buy Greed Island, Shen Fei revealed he already had the game and explained its dangers before they prepared to study it.

• Machi stitched Nobunaga’s arm back on, and Shen Fei bound both of them with chains after claiming he intended to destroy the Phantom Troupe.
• Shen Fei dragged Machi deeper into the abandoned building and gave Nobunaga one minute to reveal the other members’ names and Nen abilities.

• Shen Fei offered Nobunaga and Machi a choice, but Nobunaga insisted Shen Fei kill him, so Shen Fei pierced his heart and promised to spare Machi before knocking her unconscious.
• Shen Fei returned to the hotel and wondered whether Kurapika had killed Uvogin, while Uvogin had already been rescued by the Phantom Troupe and brought back to their base.

Shen Fei attended the final day of the Yorknew City Auction, then stored his Greed Island consoles and investigated which Nen abilities he could learn. After giving Machi the bodies of Chrollo and Pakunoda, he acquired Owl’s Incredible Convenient Big Scarf and entered Greed Island.

• Milluki won the first Greed Island game console at the auction for fifteen billion, while Shen Fei, Gon, and Killua attended.

• Shen Fei concluded that his analysis ability could not learn Specialization abilities that altered their users’ constitutions, and he returned to Yorknew City.
• Shen Fei released Machi and gave her Chrollo’s and Pakunoda’s corpses, warning her not to keep killing innocents; Machi later attacked gangs to recover the Troupe members’ bodies.
• Shen Fei finished learning Owl’s Incredible Convenient Big Scarf and entered Greed Island using a ring inscribed with divine script.

Shen Fei entered Greed Island, met Biscuit, and began investigating how its card system worked through Nen and divine script. He resolved to pursue the rare designated cards, especially Angel's Breath, after learning that the most valuable potions had already been claimed.

• Shen Fei entered Greed Island and reflected on how its game consoles could transport players across the Six Continents, while considering the dangers posed by V5 and Poor Man's Rose.
• Shen Fei met Elena, logged in, and discovered that Greed Island's book stored cards players could use for support or combat.
• Shen Fei met Biscuit in Bounty City Antokiba and learned that Gon and Killua had left to complete quests and gather cards and information about Ging.
• Shen Fei repeatedly turned ordinary objects into cards and materialized them again, using the experiments to conclude that Greed Island's card system relied on Nen commands.
• Shen Fei checked the designated-card listings, learned that all ten Witch's Rejuvenation Potions were already claimed, and decided to seek Angel's Breath and other rare cards.

Shen Fei joined Nikens's team as it prepared to secure the rare Angel's Breath, while suspecting that the newly introduced Gonsu might be Bomber. He discovered Greed Island's geothermal God-Character system and studied it as the game’s creators watched, leaving with plans to adapt the technology for his own worlds.

• After Shen Fei defeated four would-be robbers, their bodies and God-Character Rings vanished, and he reflected on how Greed Island encouraged theft and card monopolies.
• Puhart invited Shen Fei to join his team, and Shen Fei accepted after learning they were pursuing Angel's Breath; Nikens told the gathered players they needed a Prison card to protect it.
• Puhart introduced Shen Fei to Gonsu, whose attempt to touch Shen Fei and suspicious expression made Shen Fei wonder if he was Bomber, though Shen Fei kept his suspicions to himself.
• Shen Fei found the God-Characters beneath Bounty City Antokiba and photographed and studied them while Leet and three other Greed Island creators monitored him.
• Leet's group consulted Ging, who told them to let Shen Fei continue unless he disrupted the game; afterward, Shen Fei considered using God-Characters to strengthen restraints and armor and bringing Ada and Robin to study them.

Shen Fei discarded the cursed Honzhi blade, funded aid for victims of the Phantom Troupe, and studied Greed Island’s movement cards while avoiding the organization’s missions. When Bomber Gonsu seized Nikens’s group and their cards, Shen Fei stayed hidden nearby as Gonsu’s betrayal killed everyone present.

• Shen Fei snapped the Honzhi blade in half and threw it into the magma because he did not want to keep its distinctive, resentment-bearing weapon.
• Shen Fei used the Nowell Foundation to help innocent people harmed by the Phantom Troupe and studied Greed Island’s movement spell cards in Magic City Masadora.
• Nikens announced that his group had obtained a Prison card and exchanged it for Angel’s Breath, but Gonsu revealed himself as the Bomber and activated Voice of Life on them.
• Nikens surrendered the group’s cards under Gonsu’s threat, and Gonsu’s companions helped him seize the cards from everyone’s books.
• Gonsu and his companions said the words to remove Voice of Life, causing it to explode and kill everyone present; Shen Fei, who had been hiding nearby, watched and prepared to act.

• Shen Fei bound Bomber Gonsu and his two companions with concealed Nen threads and demanded their cards.
• Shen Fei threatened the Bomber trio until Gonsu surrendered their cards in exchange for a chance to use Angel's Breath to heal his companions.

• Shen Fei returned to Greed Island, resumed researching Witch’s Rejuvenation Potion, and agreed with Zezu to exchange Angel’s Breath for One-Ping Jungle.
• Shen Fei completed the card exchange with Zezu and noted that he still needed the card Gon possessed and the card from a pirate quest.

• Razor entered the final dodgeball match, created fourteen clones, and raised the ball as Shen Fei stepped onto the field.
