Xu Huo looked at the information regarding the identity at Rank-A Wormhole Point.

Regarding player residency, it’s not particularly difficult in most districts; as long as you have money or power, many districts won’t set a high threshold, unless the number of players seeking formal identity is very large, similar to some technologically advanced wormhole point districts where order is stable, life is secure, ordinary people rarely live like players, and rarely see wars, making them excellent choices for long-term residency.

However, Rank-A Wormhole Points involve elements of genes and the core of the game.

Some players have revealed that Rank-A Wormhole Points are the main regions for talent export to the Game Government. The visible staff at the Game Government Base in these districts, responsible for communicating and trading with district governments, maintaining train tracks, and the invisible ones laying tracks, opening portals in different wormhole points, and maintaining game systems... most of these needed personnel are selected from Rank-A Wormhole Points.

The ones involved in game secrets are mostly in No Ticket Zone; their identity is noble, even for the lowest ordinary people, and their stance aligns with the game’s. Such districts obviously won’t allow outside players to enter or reside, not only for confidentiality but also to completely eliminate the possibility of descendants leaning towards newer districts from genetic succession.

Most of the daily visible game participants are members of the Game Government Base. Some of these people are from Advanced Wormhole Points, but since they can be dispersed to work and interact with outsiders, it’s clear they don’t know too many secrets. They are more like people created from an assembly line, with only one lifelong task—to ensure the normal operation of the game.

Such people, such districts, how could they possibly accept outsiders?

Therefore, the fact that the game has released a reward list this time is truly surprising.

"I suspect the Gourmet might have stolen something involving core secrets from the Game Government. To prevent it from falling into outsider hands, they would give identity certification, turning outsiders into insiders."

It’s a reasonable conjecture by a player.

This view received recognition from most players, and then attention to the Gourmet moved to his "spoils," leading to many speculative "insiders," with guesses that included the game’s core program, possibly instruments beyond Super Props, even the formula for Primeval Stone and Perfect Potion. The information was overwhelming, and just looking through it could make one’s head spin.

Xu Huo looked a little longer before retreating from Beneath the Dimension, then posted a bounty about the Gourmet’s whereabouts on the game’s bounty platform—a thought shared by many. But that was not the most critical thing. The key was, someone who had entered Fish Banquet disclosed his whereabouts a few days ago.

No choice, this person went to No Ticket Zone to commit the act without even changing his face, under full wormhole point announcements, making it hard for players to miss this news.

Thus, before long, his whereabouts during the Fish Banquet was compiled, packaged, and sold on the platform.

Many players enter and exit Fish Banquet, and Shi Shuai approached many players; the real concern lies with Lan Huaijie and the Fish Banquet’s owner.

Lan Huaijie heard the Gourmet’s nickname, and the Super Player’s title, and as the person who took away the items he left behind, Xu Huo certainly has a direct connection with him.

And the ubiquitous surveillance in Fish Banquet must have seen him and Shi Shuai entering and leaving many times. Additionally, his conspicuous Space Fish attacked the Fish Banquet’s upper echelon; if they want to find the Gourmet, they might start with other people’s identities.

Although Xu Huo changed his attire several times at Fish Banquet, there’s always a chance.

After purchasing the high-priced whereabouts package, Xu Huo carefully compared the overlapping actions of Shi Shuai and himself, and didn’t see any particularly indicative information, which relieved him slightly.

Lan Huaijie, collaborating with the Old Holy Sword Society, would certainly not proactively align with the game, the issue lies with Fish Banquet; if Fish Banquet identified his identity, it might trace back to District 001.

One person can run, but a group is troublesome.

Xu Huo found the contact details left by Lan Huaijie and sent a subtle reminder.

Lan Huaijie quickly replied: "Nothing happened."

Lan Huaijie is the direct link connecting Xu Huo and the Gourmet. As long as he doesn’t spill the beans, there shouldn’t be too much risk for him or District 001.

If they really trace it back to him, hope the Old Holy Sword Society can provide a proper arrangement.

But soon he realizes that these worries are unnecessary.

Because the Gourmet, Shi Shuai, directly released a vacation video message from a certain district using his own account on Beneath the Dimension. He was lying on an air bed, floating on a pale red ocean, a few overturned aliens beside him. He kicked away an alien that floated close, drank juice, took off sunglasses, and blew a kiss to the camera, blatantly provoking a standoff with the game:

"I’ll still visit when I have time."

Alright, now no one cares what he did at Fish Banquet anymore. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xu Huo watched the video and soon analyzed from the type of aliens, ocean characteristics, angle of sunlight, as well as air bed, attire, and juice information, the possible wormhole point he might be at. Of course, more detailed information wasn’t available, but Beneath the Dimension had it; someone not only analyzed the wormhole point and district but also provided the specific location and time of filming.

"In summary, this video was shot half a day ago. Even if we rush there now, the person surely has left. Plus, this district belongs to Rank-B Wormhole Point, quite strong, so anyone considering causing trouble and venting should think twice about how many hits they can take."

The rest of the information Xu Huo wasn’t too concerned about. The Gourmet visited No Ticket Zone, fulfilled his wish of becoming a Super Player, although it caused quite a stir, it didn’t affect ordinary people, and the subsequent ripples wouldn’t touch him.

However, he shares the same opinion as most players:

"A real ace."
