Luo Ye and his companions traveled to Soufrabi to obtain A Plot of Beach, where they encountered Razor, a chief administrator angered by Luo Ye’s looting across Greed Island.

• Biscuit confirmed that the group had ninety-six designated cards and identified A Plot of Beach as one of the four they still needed.

Luo Ye recruited Goreinu and Hisoka to join his team for a dodgeball match against Razor, despite still having fewer players. The match began with Razor’s devastating throws, but Luo Ye caught one head-on and absorbed its Nen, leaving Razor stunned.

• Luo Ye recruited Goreinu and his two Nen gorillas, then Hisoka joined the team after unsettling Luo Ye with a flirtatious advance.

Gon won Greed Island’s final quiz with a perfect score and placed Ruler’s Blessing in the last designated slot, officially clearing the game. Luo Ye then prepared to take the available cards and have Shizuku tear down the Completion Castle entrance sign before they left.

• After Gon’s team collected ninety-nine designated cards, a server-wide quiz was announced to determine who would receive card number 0, Ruler’s Blessing.
• Killua and Biscuit worried that the quiz would favor players who had memorized Greed Island’s details, so Luo Ye threatened the game administrators and demanded a fair contest.
• Gon answered the obscure questions quickly by recalling the cities and NPCs he had explored, while Killua struggled with the quiz.
• The quiz results announced that Gon had scored a perfect one hundred, and he received Ruler’s Blessing.
• Gon placed card 0 in the Binder Book’s final slot, officially clearing Greed Island, and Luo Ye told him to choose three cards before asking Shizuku to help tear down the Completion Castle entrance sign.

• Gon used Magnetism to send the four of them to Nigu, and the card carried Luo Ye and Shizuku along as well.
• The group arrived in a primeval forest, where Gon mistook a man fishing by a campfire for Ging.
• The white-haired man revealed Crazy Clown and shot a concealed monster before it could attack Gon and Killua.
• Luo Ye examined the monster and asked the man where he sourced creatures like it, alarming him with his interest.

Gon reunited with Kite, who gave him Ging’s Hunter License and explained that the creature they had killed was a human-eating Chimera Ant. Luo Ye treated the dangerous species as a source of abilities and ordered Shizuku to collect its remains before asking Kite to lead them to the ants’ lair.

• Kite recognized Gon and gave him Ging’s Hunter License as proof that he was ready to search for his father.

• Luo Ye ordered Shizuku to vacuum up the remains and contaminated ground with Blinky for later sale.
• Luo Ye asked Kite to lead them to the Chimera Ants’ lair so he could hunt them.

Kite told Gon, Killua, Luo Ye, and Shizuku that the Chimera Ant queen had likely established her nest in NGL, where mass disappearances threatened more than two million people. The group reached NGL’s brutal border checkpoint, where Luo Ye began planning to bypass its strict ban on modern goods.

• Kite explained that traces found in the Chimera Ant remains pointed to NGL and warned that the queen could produce a king if she continued eating humans.
• Gon, Killua, Luo Ye, and Shizuku agreed to accompany Kite into NGL.
• At the NGL border, guards expelled a scholar over a porcelain-fused-to-metal tooth and enforced a ban on modern industrial goods and technology.
• Killua worried that his game console and chocolate balls would be confiscated, while Kite warned that even metal zippers had to be removed.
• Luo Ye whispered instructions to Shizuku, preparing to outmaneuver the checkpoint guards.

Luo Ye and his group used Shizuku’s Nen ability to smuggle modern gear past NGL’s strict border inspection, then treated the dangerous rainforest like a vacation spot. After discovering fresh blood and sensing strange beings nearby, the group prepared to confront the Chimera Ants.

• Luo Ye had Shizuku use Blinky to hide their contraband, allowing the group to pass through NGL’s border inspection undetected.
• After entering the rainforest, Luo Ye had Shizuku unpack chairs, an umbrella, and cold drinks so the group could rest, despite Kite’s objections.
• Kite led the group deeper into the forest, where they found fresh blood and torn fabric from a recent killing.
• Gon sensed a strange, mixed human and animal smell nearby, while Killua detected several beings in the bushes.
• Luo Ye prepared to face the approaching creatures, eager to collect his promised experience packs.

Luo Ye let a Chimera Ant sting him with its deadly venom so he could test his Combat Adaptive Evolution. After gaining immunity, he killed the scorpion-tailed ant with one slap and left the other two fleeing into the bushes.

• Three Chimera Ants confronted Gon, Killua, Kite, and Luo Ye, and the mantis-headed ant singled out Killua as prey.

• Luo Ye dismissed the toxin and killed the scorpion ant with a single slap.
• The mantis and beetle ants fled, while Kite realized Luo Ye's ability could change the battles ahead.

Kite, Gon, Killua, and Luo Ye found the remains of a Hunter squad and learned that the Chimera Ants were using weapons. Luo Ye sensed two endangered investigators nearby and arrived in time to save them from a Spider Ant and its soldiers.

• Kite examined a blood-soaked clearing and concluded that the Chimera Ants had used metal weapons to overwhelm a Hunter squad.
• Gon and Killua reacted to the massacre, while Luo Ye ordered Shizuku to collect the remains with Blinky.

• Luo Ye dropped onto the Beetle Soldier Captain, killed it, and knocked the attacking Spider Ant away.
• Luo Ye greeted the stunned Lu Renjia and Lu Renyi as the Spider Ant demanded to know who he was.

Luo Ye forced Lu Renjia and Lu Renyi to sign IOUs in exchange for rescuing them, then slaughtered the Spider Ant and its soldiers. As a far more powerful Nen presence emerged from the forest, he prepared to face it while Kite watched over the rescued men.

• Luo Ye offered Lu Renjia and Lu Renyi rescue services for five hundred million Jenny each, and they signed IOUs as the ant soldiers closed in.
• Luo Ye unleashed his Nen, killed the Spider Ant with a single kick, and hunted down every fleeing ant soldier.
• Gon, Killua, and Kite arrived as Luo Ye reminded the brothers to pay and sent Shizuku to collect the battlefield materials.
• Kite warned that stronger enemies were approaching, and a savage wave of Nen pressure surged from deep in the forest.
• Luo Ye told Kite to protect his clients and went to confront the incoming enemy.

Kite warned the group that a Nen-wielding Chimera Ant Squadron Leader was approaching, but Luo Ye eagerly challenged it instead of retreating. The Saber-Toothed Tiger Squadron Leader launched a Nen-enhanced killing blow at Luo Ye, who stood still with his hands in his pockets.

• Kite ordered Gon and Killua to escort the wounded Lu Renjia and Lu Renyi away after sensing the Chimera Ant's Nen.

• Luo Ye taunted the Squadron Leader and challenged it to hit his chest with its Nen.
• The Saber-Toothed Tiger Squadron Leader charged and swung its Nen-coated claw at Luo Ye, who waited without moving and called it the premium mystery box he wanted.

Luo Ye absorbed much of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Squadron Leader’s Nen, forcing the injured tiger to flee while Shizuku cleaned up the battlefield. With his strength increased, Luo Ye prepared to head for the Chimera Ants’ nest with Kite, Gon, and Killua.

• The Saber-Toothed Tiger Squadron Leader struck Luo Ye, but Luo Ye’s black aura stopped the attack and began draining the tiger’s Nen.
• Luo Ye absorbed the tiger’s Nen while resisting its attempts to escape, growing stronger as he taunted it.
• The tiger snapped its own wrist to break free and fled into the forest, while its ant soldiers scattered.
• Luo Ye had Shizuku use Blinky to collect the severed arm and the dead soldiers as biological materials.
• Kite questioned what kind of monster Luo Ye was, and Luo Ye called himself a peace-loving working stiff before suggesting they head for the nest.

Neferpitou was born in the Chimera Ant nest and released a terrifying En that overwhelmed Kite, Gon, Killua, and their companions. As Neferpitou charged toward them, Luo Ye stayed behind, eager to face her, and the battle was about to begin.

• Neferpitou emerged from the Queen Ant and released a vast, malignant En across the forest.
• Kite, Killua, and Gon sensed the danger, while the wounded Lu Renjia and Lu Renyi fainted; Luo Ye resisted the pressure without fear.
• Kite ordered Gon and Killua to retreat, but Luo Ye announced that he would confront Neferpitou himself.
• Neferpitou sensed Kite's Nen and launched herself toward the group at tremendous speed.

• Neferpitou streaked into the clearing and targeted Kite’s right arm with her claws.
• Luo Ye caught Neferpitou’s wrist just before she could cut Kite, and his adaptive evolution repaired the damage to his arm.
• Neferpitou slashed Luo Ye’s neck, but his wounds rapidly healed and he urged her to attack harder.
• Neferpitou leaped away and readied a stronger assault as Luo Ye told Kite and the hired hands to leave.
