Identity Secured

A few days later, after Luo Zhiyuan's tireless nourishment day and night, he finally imprinted his spiritual mark onto the Shadow Divine Weapon and the Divine Illusion Bead.

The Divine Illusion Bead had already merged into his sea of consciousness, hovering above the eight stars within it. It absorbed all the spiritual force radiating from them, only to release it back out again.

As for the Shadow Divine Weapon, it no longer felt like a heavy mountain pressing down on him. He could now control its size, wearing it on his left wrist as a beautiful black bracelet with shimmering white patterns.

Naturally, Xingxing had also evolved to the ninth rank of the Star Level and could now speak simple, coherent sentences, such as "Master, Xingxing likes you," "Master, Xingxing wants to soak," and so on.

Today, after having Bulieni settle the duties of the guards, Luo Zhiyuan flew out from the main peak, took ten personal guards with him, and arrived at the spaceport, preparing to tour Qingyu Planet to see how he could resolve his identity issue.

There were still over a dozen spaceships parked in the spaceport. Luo Zhiyuan asked, "Bulieni, why did you buy so many ships? What are they for?"

Bulieni hummed and said, "Hmph, what for? Of course, for the future. When I need you to go out for training, do you expect me to let you fly that E9-grade Machine Race ship directly? And then have someone discover that only a little Star Level guy and a few Universe Level guards stepped out of it?"

"Let me tell you, you would be quickly finished off by some red-eyed Domain Lord or Sector Lord level brat. After all, this ship is worth countless times more than all their wealth combined. Some people are very skilled at killing for loot."

Luo Zhiyuan realized this was indeed a major problem. It seemed he still had to be careful with some things and could not let them be exposed.

"So, I bought some C-grade and D-grade ships just to cover our tracks."

Nodding, Luo Zhiyuan chose a C9-grade ship and entered, heading toward the only major city on Qingyu Planet, Qingyi City, which was the political and economic center of the planet.

Because he was a five-star client, Luo Zhiyuan was able to land his ship in the internal spaceport of Qingyi City. During the descent, he used the ship to scan the general layout of Qingyi City and learned the distribution of the city.

Qingyi City was a super-large city without actual city walls. It was oval-shaped, and its area was roughly equivalent to the total area of the Eurasian continent on Earth.

After exiting the ship and paying the docking fees, Luo Zhiyuan took his guards and began to stroll through Qingyi City.

They first arrived at the free trade zone, which was filled with shops of all shapes and sizes.

The scale of the shops here completely exceeded Luo Zhiyuan's imagination. Large shops could be the size of a county on Earth and towered into the clouds, while even small shops occupied more space than a village.

Wandering around, Luo Zhiyuan went from one shop to another, entering almost every door he saw. The items sold in the shops were also incredibly diverse; he even saw a shop selling planets, displaying many images of planets and star systems.

After wandering for a full 10 hours, Luo Zhiyuan had only seen a small fraction of the shops. He bought some third-rank and second-rank armor and weapons to take back for his guards, and also purchased a large amount of Immortal Crystal to use as energy for the Time Chamber.

He also bought himself a fifth-rank flight-type spiritual weapon. Since he couldn't use the Flame Light Feather in the near future, and relying solely on a second-rank spiritual weapon wouldn't be safe for the Genius Tournament, he weighed his options and bought a fifth-rank flight weapon—Light Wings, which was suitable for light and time laws.

Luo Zhiyuan discovered that in the Xuanyi Universe Kingdom, many weapons and equipment were designed in the shape of wings. This might have something to do with the race of this kingdom, as many people in the Xuanyi Universe Kingdom belonged to the Winged Race.

However, Luo Zhiyuan didn't have any objections to the wing style. As Bulieni said: it was just for the transition period anyway, so who cared what it looked like?

But after wandering for so long, Luo Zhiyuan hadn't found a single discovery that could help him secretly alter his identity information. Feeling depressed, he entered a magnificent gourmet shop, wanting to organize his thoughts and taste some food.

Guided by the reception staff to a quiet pavilion, he ordered some recommended delicacies and began to chat with Bulieni.

"Bulieni, we haven't found anything like a black market after wandering all day. Any official way to change identity information would be recorded by the Virtual Universe system and is useless to us. Did you find any news in the Virtual Universe?"

"None at all. I suspect that since this is an administrative planet directly under the Xuanyi Universe Kingdom, these illegal activities might be strictly monitored by the Virtual Universe system. I don't have a single lead."

Picking up a fruit native to Qingyu Planet and tossing it into his mouth, Luo Zhiyuan shook his head silently. It seemed these cosmic civilizations really had a misunderstanding of gourmet food. How could such bland, tasteless things be considered delicious specialties? He didn't know what was so special about them.

No wonder Xu Xin in the original story turned Earth's catering into a universal chain; she probably feared Luo Feng wouldn't be able to eat good food, haha~ Luo Zhiyuan muttered to himself while tasting other dishes. Hmm, nothing to write home about. He let the guards eat them; he had no interest.

Guards? A thought flashed through Luo Zhiyuan's mind.

"Bulieni, what kind of company did you find when you bought the manor and the slaves?"

"It's definitely the top company on this Qingyu Planet. Even in the entire Xuanyi Universe Kingdom, it's a top-five company with a great reputation and high credibility. Why?"

"It's like this: there aren't many companies in the universe that deal in the slave trade that are clean. They should have some other channels. Why don't we ask? We might get an unexpected harvest."

Bulieni immediately found Fuke, who had handled the handover of the manor and the slaves with Luo Zhiyuan, and contacted him, asking him to come to this gourmet shop as there were some things to consult.

Fuke didn't say a word. Less than half an hour after ending the communication, he arrived. One had to know that he couldn't fly his ship into Qingyi City and had to park at a distant spaceport. It seemed he valued Luo Zhiyuan, this big client, very much.

After inviting Fuke to sit down, Luo Zhiyuan ate and drank with him, chatting about everything under the sun. Finding a suitable opportunity, he said, "Haha, I didn't expect your company's business scope to be so extensive. Impressive."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Fuke, I wonder if your company has any channels to modify identity information without being recorded by the Virtual Universe system?"

Looking up at Luo Zhiyuan, Fuke realized he wasn't just asking out of casual curiosity as he had been earlier; he was very seriously waiting for an answer. Understanding a bit, Fuke guessed that all the small talk from before was just pleasantries, and this question was what this guest really wanted to ask.

Looking up to check the surrounding environment, which was very private, and checking his auxiliary light brain to confirm there were no other issues, Fuke leaned in close to Luo Zhiyuan.

"Respected sir, it's fortunate that this shop you chose values customer privacy and hasn't installed other monitoring equipment. Otherwise, just because of that sentence, you might have been taken away for questioning by the police station."

"Hehe, although I don't know why you need this special service, you are our top member, and the company has granted you high access. So, I can tell you for sure: yes!"

Luo Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and gestured for Fuke to continue.

"Sir, for this kind of special service, I must say the ugly truth first: the cost is quite high. I don't know if you..."

Luo Zhiyuan said firmly, "Tell me. As long as it's not too outrageous, that's not a problem."

"Good, straightforward! Sir, we won't ask for your reasons. As long as you provide us with the new identity information and a fee of 100 Hunyuan, we can handle this for you."

"However, this service cannot be discounted with your membership card. Please understand, after all... hehe, you know, operating this is a very dangerous matter. If discovered by the Virtual Universe system, one could be arrested immediately."

Luo Zhiyuan didn't expect to find a solution so easily, and that amount of money was really not a problem for him. But thinking about it, if they could easily provide 100 Universe Level nine slaves with physiques similar to humans from Earth, the influence of this company could be imagined. This fee was worth it.

Nodding, Luo Zhiyuan said, "No problem. Prepare two for me. One with the birthplace as the Xuanyi Universe Kingdom, and the other as a human from a Universe Secret Realm."

"As for the age, set it to 30. Nothing else is important. Replace the Xuanyi Universe Kingdom identity directly for me, and keep the other one as a backup. Any problems?"

Fuke was grinning from ear to ear. If this deal went through, he would get a high commission and could buy a piece of high-end equipment suitable for himself.

He kept saying, "No problem, absolutely no problem. It will only take two weeks for the new identity to be ready. As for the backup, just notify me, and we can have it changed for you in just one week. You can switch between these two identities as many times as you like."

Indeed, they were very capable. The overall population of the human race was divided into three parts: Universe Kingdom humans, Universe Secret Realm humans, and God Kingdom humans. Ordinary humans did not know this information.

That such an ordinary clerk knew about Universe Secret Realm humans showed that his company was involved in a lot of business.

Luo Zhiyuan immediately transferred 100 Hunyuan to Fuke's company, purchasing a so-called legal consulting service, which was actually a project set up by their company to cover their tracks.

Luo Zhiyuan told Fuke to hurry up and handle it, and that he would come to his place to find him when it was successful. Then he settled the bill and left the gourmet shop, while Fuke actually stayed behind to continue eating some of the so-called delicacies before leaving.

After leaving, Luo Zhiyuan had no more worries and continued to stroll through Qingyi City with a light heart. This stroll lasted for three days, and like a quick glance at flowers from horseback, he had more or less toured Qingyi City.
