Loren lay on the soft, large bed and let out a comfortable groan.

“Ah, this feels so good…”

After sighing with contentment, Loren, still lying in bed, opened his portable computer.

“Haven’t logged in for a day, wonder if the folks on the forum missed me…”

On the Interstellar Hunter forum, Loren skillfully browsed through the posts, picking out some of the more interesting ones to reply to.

At that moment, a post caught Loren’s eye.

“How to pull off a job in the Jadeite Star Domain and still get away safely? Please list suitable steps and necessary preparations.”

Loren’s finger uncontrollably clicked on it. I’ll just take a look, won’t do anything…

WannaCatchADruidAsPet: “DM, fees apply.”

The familiar nickname appearing in the post made Loren raise an eyebrow.

This guy is really active, huh…

FederationSecurityBureauAlwaysHiring: “DM, paid in-person consultation.”

After silently replying with a line underneath, Loren continued browsing the other answers.

ALuckyPetKeeper: “Has someone from the Security Bureau also gone rogue? Do you do cam shows? I can introduce you to some strong, virile orcs in heat.”

Although Loren had never met the beastkin from the Beastkin Star Domain, it didn’t stop him from learning about them.

You can always pick up a lot of new knowledge on the forums.

Even in this very post, Loren learned a great deal about kidnapping techniques.

One user with the nickname “Veteran Three-Accompany Hunter.”

He even gave detailed explanations of the specific steps and preparations for both “casing a place for a robbery” and “kidnapping a wealthy individual.”

He also shared insights on what to do if you get cornered after succeeding—how to select a hostage, and how to use that hostage to negotiate with the Law Enforcement Department.

He even gave detailed opinions on where to flee afterwards, how to fence the loot, and how to evade pursuit by the Security Bureau.

Between the lines, there was no trace of remorse for past deeds, only summaries and recollections.

Beneath this answer was a uniform chorus of praise and highly upvoted replies.

Responses from thrill-seekers like, “Big boss, take me on a job!” and “666, is the team still recruiting?”

Loren also silently gave this “Veteran Three-Accompany Hunter” a follow and bookmarked this highly upvoted answer.

Clicking into the user’s profile, Loren found it completely blank except for the bio which read: “Accompany eating, accompany drinking, accompany sleeping.”

Loren silently added him to his special follow list.

Based on Loren’s month of experience lurking on the forum, those with completely blank profiles were usually the real dangerous ones.

The kind who, if they accidentally revealed their alternate identity, would be hunted down extensively by the Security Bureau.

Like Loren himself…

He didn’t even dare to write anything in his own bio line.

After bookmarking this highly upvoted answer, Loren was about to quietly log off.

Someone had replied to Loren.

FederationSecurityBureauAlwaysHiring: “###**（（*……*dgsaisdfuh”

Needs to work on his mental fortitude, still needs practice… Loren muttered a complaint.

Loren exited the Interstellar Hunter forum and logged into the Nature Sect forum.

The Great Druid was online.

Just as Loren was about to start expounding on the “doctrines of the Nature Sect,” he noticed a temporarily pinned post for the day.

“Why do almost none of the Federation’s official personnel take on secondary professions like ‘Druid’ or similar systems? They are all purely Martial Artists, Psychics, and Cultivator systems??”

Loren’s eyes lit up, and his finger quickly tapped into the post.

Soon, a top-voted answer caught Loren’s attention.

This answer was only one sentence long, yet it had the most upvotes.

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “Because cultivating these professional systems, especially for those with exceptional talent, will attract the ‘gaze of the Gods.'”

Loren silently memorized this sentence and rapidly exited the Nature Sect forum.

Then, Loren used his fastest speed to register a new alternate account.

Using this new account, he followed “WantToFindAnElfForAWife” and sent a private message.

NatureRespectingLittleNewbieAhhhhh: “Big bro, then if I join the Nature Sect, will I attract the gaze of the Gods?”

After that, Loren stared intently at the portable computer screen, beginning a long wait.

During the wait, Loren’s left hand kept snapping its fingers, continuously stacking “Fortune” on himself.

The Raven, noticing Loren’s seriousness, also kept adding “Fortune” to Loren.

Two minutes later, the other party replied to Loren in the private chat.

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “Was about to sleep, but the neighbors suddenly started arguing. Can’t sleep anyway, might as well reply to you.”

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “Joining the Nature Sect won’t attract the gaze of the Gods. You’d merely enter their field of vision. Only exceptionally talented individuals can attract their gaze. After all, the Gods are quite busy.”

NatureRespectingLittleNewbieAhhhhh: “Understood, thank you, big bro. Are there any other ways one might attract the gaze of the Gods? I have pretty good talent, so I’m a bit scared.”

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “That confident? Which mentor’s disciple are you?”

NatureRespectingLittleNewbieAhhhhh: “Haven’t joined the Nature Sect yet, but I met someone a couple of days ago. He said he was a Great Druid and wanted to be my mentor.”

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “Know his name?”

Loren stared at the message sent by the other party on the screen, thought for a few seconds, steeled his heart, and typed a passage.

NatureRespectingLittleNewbieAhhhhh: “He didn’t tell me his name, but he said he’s quite famous on the forum. Told me I could come here first to learn about the Nature Sect.”

NatureRespectingLittleNewbieAhhhhh: “He said his forum name is ‘GreatDruid233WhoRespectsNature.'”

After sending the message, Loren stared at the screen, motionless, even his breathing slowed considerably.

After waiting two minutes, the other party finally sent a message.

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “The gaze of the Gods can be good or bad. The Gods of our Nature Sect tend to be neutral and friendly. Don’t worry, little one.”

Seeing this message, Loren breathed a sigh of relief. Got away with it!

Soon, the other party sent another follow-up message.

WantToFindAnElfForAWife: “Assuming you have great talent, then joining the Nature Sect, cultivating the ‘Druid’ professional system, reciting the honorific titles of the Gods, and praying to the Gods will all have a high probability of attracting the gaze of the Gods.”

NatureRespectingLittleNewbieAhhhhh: “Big bro, yesterday I wanted to boast to a friend, saying I had already joined the Nature Sect, and I explained some of the sect’s doctrines to him. Would that get me noticed?”

After laying the groundwork for so long, Loren finally asked the question he truly wanted to ask.

This was also the reason Loren had angrily created two alternate identities on the Nature Sect forum.

He just wanted to know if he had been noticed by the “Gods”…

He didn’t want to enter the “field of vision” of the “Gods” either…

“Do not gaze directly upon the divine, and do not be noticed by the Gods.”

This was one of the pieces of special knowledge Loren had learned on the Interstellar Hunter forum.

All official departments of the Federation have an ironclad rule: “Individuals noticed by the ‘Gods’ automatically retire and no longer participate in any Federation affairs.”
