The male supporting character was actually myself.

Anyway, the specific conditions have been given above, requiring only the search for the corresponding lists; it doesn't require any technical expertise.

"Up there?" Li Zixuan wondered.

Could it be that some of the participants are of a higher status?

If that's the case, it will be troublesome. Cheng Ge and his group might be exposed and wiped out!

"Director, is this an investigation into an internal traitor or something? After all, interstellar war is about to begin, and I'm really not confident about it."

"They're probably investigating spies." The eight-armed alien frowned slightly and shook his head. "I don't know what they're investigating either. Just submit the list as instructed. That guy is waiting in the next conference room. I need to hurry up and get it done."

The meeting room next door?

Li Zixuan had a sudden inspiration. She went out of the director's office, went to the hot water room, fetched a pot of hot tea, knocked on the door, and entered the conference room.

"Let me pour you a glass of water, please enjoy." She smiled sweetly at her superior, who was sitting there listlessly looking down at his communicator, and while pouring him water, she tossed the prop in her hand at him.

One-time use C-grade item - Heartfelt Words.

The effective time is twenty seconds. After use, the target answers the question truthfully and briefly, and has no recollection of it afterwards.

"Who wants to see the list of people who have logged into the main planet?"

Lewis.

"Who is he? What does he look like?"

"I don't know the other party's identity. I'm just doing this for money." The round-headed alien commander with two antennae looked blank as he pulled up a photo on his communicator and showed it to her. "This is the person."

Li Zixuan glanced at him; he was a humanoid race with a stubble beard and a slightly bald head, but whose facial features were quite good upon closer inspection.

"Hurry up, the prop time is almost up." The chubby whale's Zen-like voice remained unhurried.

She quickly asked one last question, "When and where do you trade?"

"Noon; back gate of the Ministry of Transport."

As soon as she finished answering the last question, the countdown reached zero. The alien twitched its long tentacles, glanced at her, and then continued to look at the communicator.

After pouring the hot tea, Li Zixuan took the kettle out, closed the door, and then hurriedly returned to her office.

Chapter Twenty-Three: We're All Ready!

"What a pity, the C-level item's duration was too short, and I couldn't get any more information out of it." She sighed, recalling the appearance in the photo again, and then opened her work computer and entered the transliterated name and general characteristics.

The computer interface begins the search and recognition process.

A moment later, similar person information extracted from the various camera feeds was displayed on the screen.

"Rebellious girl, if you used that intelligence for good, you'd probably have enough medals to be reborn by now." The little fat whale rolled over and happily blew bubbles.

Li Zixuan rolled her eyes again and ignored it.

"It's amazing that a mere clerk could accomplish so much. Luckily, my host is cautious enough to disguise himself and find a middleman to buy the information. Otherwise, he would have been easily exposed!"

The little white cat truthfully reported its situation using the communicator while complaining about the search results being photographed on the other party's screen.

After finding out Lewis's specific information, Li Zixuan frowned and thought seriously.

The other party's resume can be described as riddled with misdeeds.

He committed dangerous driving four times in just six months, and each time he spent several days in jail before being released, and his not-so-large insurance premiums were never paid out.

A quick search on the StarCraft website revealed that this guy does everything to make money, from errand running to boosting accounts and racing cars, suggesting he's probably very short on cash.

How could such a penniless guy actually spend a lot of money to find connections with higher-ups to buy the list?

This is very abnormal!

Unless... he suddenly gets some kind of extraordinary encounter, such as being transmigrated into and having his body taken over by a host.

The more Li Zixuan analyzed it, the more convinced she became that her judgment was correct: Lewis was definitely one of the contestants!

She thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to Meng Xiucheng.

[Li Zixuan: Brother Cheng, I've found another suspicious person. This guy must be making a fortune; he actually spent a lot of money bribing our superiors to investigate the list of all humanoid races that logged onto the main star in the past month. If we can get him into the Hunter Alliance, we'll definitely have no shortage of operating funds!]

[Meng Xiucheng: Xuanxuan, well done! Did you get any information out of him? Can we catch him?]

[Li Zixuan: They'll be making the transaction at the back gate of the Ministry of Transportation at noon today. I feel like I can't handle it; I need Brother Cheng's help!]

[Meng Xiucheng: No problem, I'll teleport there right now using an item. We'll discuss the details when we meet. If that guy doesn't cooperate, it'll be perfect for you to complete the hunt.]

After putting away the communicator, Li Zixuan hummed a song with a satisfied and expectant smile on her face and began to do her job.

"Heh, at least you have some conscience and are still thinking about helping you complete the hunting mission." The little fat whale reminded you while blowing bubbles, "You should prepare more tools, lest you get killed instead."

"I really can't say I'm impressed with your combat abilities; you're far inferior to other hosts of the same level on the forum."

She rolled her eyes and replied irritably, "You're such a troublemaker! You're always making sarcastic remarks and can't help at all, yet you keep nagging and complaining. I'll definitely keep my promise to Brother Cheng."

You're simply judging others by your own petty standards!

The little fat whale wasn't angry. It swam in the air and sighed, "Host, you're only twenty-one, a wonderful age. Wouldn't it be better to find a suitable match, someone of equal social standing and good looks, if you want to date?"

Every night, watching you offer up your house and your body, and grovel to that unassuming, dark-skinned guy, I feel sorry for you.

"Mind your own business! I like older men!"

Li Zixuan huffed and puffed, "You're just like my parents, so fussy and long-winded, it's driving me crazy! The more you dislike something, the more I like it. I'll have a three-hundred-round battle with Cheng-ge in bed, so you can hear and see it, and it'll make you furious!"

The little fat whale blew bubbles, its voice muffled, "Why should I be angry? If you want to debase yourself, go ahead. You're offering yourself up as someone else's plaything. Just don't complain when you're abandoned..."

……

After sending a picture of the other party's chat history to its host, the little white cat, holding a bag of dried fish, lay on the desk, wagging its fluffy tail as it ate and speculated about the gossip from the one-sided replies.

The clock quickly struck twelve o'clock, and Jiang Chen had already parked his car in the parking lot a few meters away from the back gate of the Ministry of Transport.

Lewis, who was running errands for the intelligence brokers, also arrived at the designated location;

Li Zixuan and Meng Xiucheng lay in ambush on one side, waiting for the other party to complete the transaction so that they could capture the list and the contestants in one fell swoop!

"Do we have a battle plan?" Lu Xinnan asked in a low, slightly trembling voice, not even knowing where to put her hands.

Having never participated in such intense warfare before, she, who was naturally peaceful, felt anxious, uneasy, nervous, and afraid.

"I don't have any plans. I'll use my racial talent when they make their move. Anyone without a life-saving item won't be able to escape. Just throw the items at them as you see fit," Jiang Chen said, staring at the quiet back door.

Seeing how calm he was, Lu Xinnan inexplicably relaxed a little.

The little white cat was perched on the wall with its communicator on, and Meng Xiucheng and Li Zixuan's conversation was clearly heard in Jiang Chen's earpiece.

“Once the deal is done, I’ll use a B-grade item to freeze Lewis in place,” Meng Xiucheng whispered in her ear. “You’ll have about a minute to use. If he doesn’t join us, you can kill him immediately!”

Don't hesitate, or things will change.

This is a great opportunity for you to complete the mission, so don't make any mistakes. After you finish, we'll start planning how to earn merit points.

After we finish this job, you'll have a day off this afternoon, so let's go to your place, hehehe..."

He wrapped his arms around the other person's waist and gave him a mischievous pinch.

Li Zixuan, who was initially a little nervous, immediately relaxed when she heard how simple and convenient it was. She boldly retaliated by nudging him with her elbow and chuckled, "I know, when have I ever not let Brother Cheng have his fill?"

"Xuanxuan is so obedient!" Meng Xiucheng whispered in her ear while the other party was still making the transaction, "Get ready to make your move."

Li Zixuan blushed, her heart pounded, and her voice trembled with nervousness as she replied, "I'm ready! Brother Cheng, just go for it!"

The little cheetah, used to such things, rolled its eyes. "The host must have been an unwanted loser in his previous life, otherwise why would he be so thirsty?"

The little fat whale continued to roll around leisurely, blowing bubbles. "I don't know what you see in him. Rebellious humans are such strange creatures; you can't understand them with normal thinking."

The alien with two tentacles handed the disk to the unkempt, bearded Lewis. Clearly, this wasn't the first time they'd made such a transaction, and they trusted each other implicitly.

They exchanged anonymous interstellar cards and disks, and after meeting, they didn't even say a word. They just exchanged glances, turned around, and left.

It was so fast that the little white cat couldn't even see it clearly.

With a soft thud, the back door of the Ministry of Transportation closed. Lewis tucked the disk into his pocket and prepared to run.

Meng Xiucheng reacted quickly, throwing a button directly at the other person.

"Oh!"

A cloud of white mist rose up, and Lewis remained motionless on the quiet street, still in the starting position.

Chapter Twenty-Four: I was terrified at the time...

Lewis was terrified the moment he realized he couldn't move; he couldn't even open his mouth to call for help, let alone breathe!

A leaf twirled past me in the wind, and I could faintly hear the laughter of children playing in the distance. It seemed that nothing and no one else had come to a standstill except for myself.

"What kind of strange weapon or racial talent is this? Is it... a robbery?"

As he was lost in thought, a man and a woman walked up to him, looked him up and down, and then the slightly dark-skinned man pulled out a laser gun and pressed it against his forehead. "Now you have two paths in front of you..."

Lewis immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

In an instant, his short and unsuccessful life flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Born on a low-level planet, he was surrounded by war, natural disasters, and famine, and lost his family at a young age.

Countless times, Lewis struggled on the brink of death, feeling that he was going to die. However, his strong will to survive enabled him to seize the smallest opportunities to overcome death and gain another chance to prolong his life.

Lewis's luck turned around a few years ago when he was searching for a spaceship that had crashed in a swamp due to a malfunction!

There were several survivors in that dilapidated spaceship, and a talking brain living inside a glass bottle.

He rescued them from the swamp, and in return, Brain and a few smugglers took him away from the low-level planet. Along the way, he gained knowledge and learned some skills from them.

Later, the brain assigned tasks based on the belief that the galaxy would inevitably experience a horrific war in the future, and that only the main star was the safest. Therefore, Lewis was placed on the main star to develop and manage the base, so that the group could avoid the disaster in the future.

However, Lewis, who was used to a life of hardship, had long been accustomed to being frugal and thrifty.

Even though his brain gave him money to buy a bunch of real estate to preserve its value, he still liked to operate in the gray area and do whatever he could to make money.

I never expected to suffer such a terrible disaster today!

"I'm sorry, brain, I'm sorry, brothers..." Lewis was afraid that the guy would pull the trigger.

My own death is a small matter; the money belonging to the spaceship smuggling group is still kept in a place known only to me!

I won't rest in peace even if I die without returning the money my brothers used to support them in their old age!
