• Jing Yang met Ida and asked to trade money for the Blue Planet card or speak with Dogen, Razor, or Ging.

• Jing Yang asked Ida to give him the rules of Greed Island, and she explained how players collected and used cards to fill the book’s designated slots.

• Jing Yang descended from the treehouse into the moonlit prairie and found Shizuku and Biscuit waiting with Wu Er.
• Jing Yang pointed out that someone nearby was watching them, and Shizuku asked whether they should deal with the spy.

Jing Yang, Biscuit, and Shizuku crossed Greed Island’s grasslands while Biscuit warned Jing Yang that strength could not replace experience. After Jing Yang took a bully’s cards, he decided to find Zushi and the other Hunters using his castle’s game consoles, while hinting he would look for a loophole to clear the game.

• Jing Yang’s Rock Sparrow spotted Zushi grappling with a stranger on Andochibi’s eastern outskirts.
• The stranger sprang away, and an explosion tore Zushi apart at the waist.

• Jing Yang raced toward Zushi after seeing the explosion, with Shizuku, Wu Er, and Biscuit following him.
• The group found Zushi’s upper body alive only by a faint breath, while his lower half hung from a tree.
• Zushi’s heart stopped before Jing Yang could place a Star Mark, and white light engulfed and erased both halves of his body.
• Jing Yang realized he had gained no Death Qi, and Zushi’s Greed Island ring had disappeared with him, suggesting the game did not consider him dead.
• Biscuit and Jing Yang reasoned that Zushi was a Specialist whose ability allowed him to survive death at an enormous price, possibly requiring money he had earned through his own labor.

• Jing Yang returned disguised as Ging and searched the castle again, complaining that collecting cards and clearing the game sounded like a hassle.

• Allantrail appeared on the second-floor railing, said Ging and Razor should have been able to enter the real castle, and explained that he had helped design the game.

Jing Yang and Biscuit discussed how Greed Island’s extraordinary cards were created, while Gamm explained that he was more interested in their origins than clearing the game. Jing Yang tested whether a player could leave the island and discovered that the attempt sent the bird back to Greed Island’s coast.
