### Summary
The chapter shifts focus to a new, positive player interaction as Yi Rim’s avatar, Rice, meets a character described by readers as a "nice guy." This new individual, possibly named Ator, gifts Rice an "item net" and shares a wholesome and humorous dynamic with him, leading readers to label them as "2 unhinged people." Audience speculation is high regarding this character's real-world identity, with theories ranging from a fashion designer to a rude coworker from Rice's life outside the game. Continuing his culinary quest driven by hunger, Rice targets a new creature—a "pretty" monster dubbed the "lizard princess"—which he proceeds to hunt and eat. This reinforces his unconventional, food-focused "Maple-like" approach to the RPG, further evidenced by his novice-like excitement over a "stun" effect. The chapter's events, particularly the descriptions of food, consistently leave readers feeling hungry. The narrative concludes on a cliffhanger, fueling reader theories that more players in the game will be revealed as people from Rice's real life.
