In addition, there were two other developers as well, Elena and Eta, who also served as NPCs within the game.
This is Togashi's preference for twins, using mirror-symmetric character relationships to enhance the mechanical feel of the game system.
Both of them represented the letter E; one was the Game Master in charge of players entering the game, and the other was in charge of players leaving the game.
It can be said that they each perform their own duties.
Only Ging Freecss, the head master, is running around everywhere.
This makes Dwun hate him to the core, but there's nothing he can do.
Since they've chosen to design this game, they can only keep the game running here.
As NPCs and GMs, they will remain on this island until a player completes the game.
"I really envy that guy, Ickshonpe."
Dwun smacked his lips and said with a rather sour tone: "That guy can just stay in the network world forever without coming out!!"
Ickshonpe, one of the game developers of Greed Island, represents the letter I.
Luke's perception had been correct: the conditions for entering and leaving the game, as well as the ability to transfer spaces, were derived from the method of entering Ickshonpe's network world.
This included some functional movement and spatial Spell Cards, all of which were Ickshonpe's creation.
However, unlike List, Dwun, Razor, and the sisters, Eta and Elena, Ickshonpe was bound by his Nen ability limitations, which confined him to the network world.
Since the network was omnipresent and signals could also appear on Greed Island, this in turn meant that Ickshonpe could be considered as being on the island.
But what difference did that make from not staying there?
"It's a bit too boring to be stuck in the castle like this."
Dwun casually picked up his lunch box and tossed it aside, not wanting to clean it up. It looked like it wouldn't be long before this room was completely littered with garbage.
"I also want to exchange experiences with the other hunters!"
Dwun wailed.
"You just want to join the others in boasting and bragging, right?"
List calmly and mercilessly exposed him.
"Besides, I see you're more interested in chatting up some pretty girls, and then..."
List didn't say the rest of the sentence out loud.
But the look he gave Dwun was clear as day.
Dwun: "..."
The corner of his eye twitched.
"Sometimes, I really want to sew your mouth shut with a needle!"
Dwun gritted his teeth.
Clearly, his thoughts had been exposed, and he was furious.
But before he could attack List further…
Bilibilibi!
In the room, two phones rang almost simultaneously.
"This is..."
Dwun and List both instinctively pulled out their medium-sized phones.
On an island as unique as Greed Island, there's virtually no signal.
So the only person who could have called them was…
"Is it that guy, Ickshonpe?!"
Dwun blurted out while looking at the contact's name.
Even List was a little surprised: "Why would this guy call us at this hour?"
"That's really unusual. He doesn't usually contact us."
"And especially now, when he's the least willing to have any interaction with the outside world…"
List was both surprised and confused.
Besides Ickshonpe's sudden call, there was also a message on the phone screen…
"Inviting us to join the chat room?"
Dwun muttered as he read the text, somewhat bewildered. "What's a chat room? Is this something he has come up with?"
Dwun asked curiously: "Sounds like a place for chatting?"
"The kind where you drink tea and play cards together?"
List glanced at him. "You're talking about a card room."
"Oh, then is it a place where you sing, drink, and have a few young ladies clapping beside you, cheering you on in a cutesy voice saying how great you sing..."
"That's a karaoke room!!"
List rolled his eyes, simply ignoring him.
God knows what kind of nonsense this guy's thinking all day long.
"Maybe this chat room..."
Dwun rubbed his chin. "It's a place that combines a card room with a karaoke room! Hehehe…"
Who knew what he was imagining now, but he let out a few lewd chuckles, making him look quite wretched.
List: "..."
He didn't even bother to glance at him anymore.
Instead, he focused his attention on the screen of his phone.
And at that moment, it read: [Eta and Elena have joined the chat room.]
Hmm? Have the twin sisters Eta and Elena already entered?
Then, on this island, the only ones who haven't entered the chat room are now only...
[Razor has joined the chat room.]
Okay, it seems they are the only ones left here.
List immediately and decisively pressed the join button.
Next to him, Dwun was also chuckling, his fingers tapping lightly on his phone.
In the next second…
Whoosh!!
Dwun and List were instantly enveloped by a dense, intense white light, forcing them to close their eyes tightly.
When the glow finally faded a little, they slowly opened them again.
The first thing that caught their eyes was Ickshonpe's signature, familiar white cyberspace.
Only this time, List sharply noticed something new, within the web of white, faint traces of other colors were beginning to mix in.
This was all a sign of progress.
"Has Ickshonpe figured out something new?"
Thinking of the chat room they were currently in, List's mind raced, and he surveyed his surroundings.
At this moment, Dwun's voice began to rise: "This time he actually managed to pull us all in together?!"
He looked at the three ethereal figures beside him, feeling excited. "Hey, Eta, Elena, it's been ages!!"
"We haven't seen each other since you took over the game's entrance and exit."
Dwun waved his hands with enthusiasm, practically bouncing despite his ethereal form.
"It's really great."
Of the twins, Eta remained silent, while Elena spoke calmly: "This will also free us from your harassment..."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Dwun was immediately displeased. "How can you call it harassment?! It was clearly a noble pursuit!!"
"Thank you for your pursuit, we don't need it."
