After Feitan and Phinks return to the hideout with a [[JoyStation Console]] playing a copy of the [[Greed Island]] game, he reads the item's description in the [[Southernpiece Auction]] catalog with great interest,<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 13, Chapter 123</ref> surprised that their bodies disappeared.<ref name="chap134">Hunter × Hunter - Volume 14, Chapter 134</ref> After some online research, he invites Kortopi and Shizuku to accompany him into the game to test a theory, as well as so Shizuku and he can be safer for the rest of the week.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 14, Chapter 128</ref> The three depart and begin to study the game's system. Due to the people of the island having limited response patterns, the cards copied by Kortopi not being able to turn into objects and Shizuku's '''Blinky''' failing to inhale special items in the game, Shalnark realizes the game functions with Nen. He explains his reasoning to his two companions, advancing the possibility that the island exists in the real world and not in virtual reality. He thus plans to use "[[Toraemon (G.I card)|Toraemon]]" to collect all the special items in the game and leave the island by sea. He claims their priority is to get either one "[[Eye of God (G.I card)|Eye of God]]" or one "[[Analysis (G.I card)|Analysis]]" and to meet up with Phinks and Feitan.<ref name="chap134">Hunter × Hunter - Volume 14, Chapter 134</ref>

The five leave the island with samples of rocks and Shalnark analyzes them. He eventually locates the general area of the island. The five of them plus Franklin sail towards the location marked by Shalnark, where they indeed find an island. However, they are promptly detected by [[Eta]].<ref name="chap144">Hunter × Hunter - Volume 15, Chapter 144</ref> They swim ashore, with Shalnark commenting that '''Blinky''' could dry them. They soon encounter [[Razor]] who uses his special card "[[Eliminate (G.I card)|Eliminate]]" to send them off the island due to their illegal entry.<ref name="chap145">Hunter × Hunter - Volume 15, Chapter 145</ref>

Shalnark, Shizuku, Franklin, and Phinks re-enter the game legally. They are astonished to find someone named "Chrollo" among their contacts, but Shalnark concludes Chrollo came to the island by sea and was teleported away, and then hired someone else to play the game with his name as a sign for the Spiders: Greed Island is in fact due east of Yorknew City, the direction Chrollo's prophecy recommended him to head towards. The four conclude there must be an [[Nen#Exorcism|Exorcist]] on the island. Hisoka reveals himself and confirms most of Shalnark's assumptions. After Hisoka leaves, Shalnark states it is only a matter of time until Chrollo gets his Nen back.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 15, Chapter 149</ref> Thanks to [[Kalluto Zoldyck|Kalluto]], they find [[Abengane]] and have Hisoka arrange a deal with him.<ref>Hunter × Hunter - Volume 17, Chapter 170</ref>
