After the man left, Loren walked over to the tavern entrance with a smile, waved his hand, and stored away the 170,000 Spirit Stones piled on the table outside.

After storing these Spirit Stones, Loren's total assets reached 2.4 million Spirit Stones!

"Raven, what do you think about us selling information in the future?" Loren, in a good mood, asked Raven in his mind.

"Please, just be a decent person, Master... I'm genuinely afraid that your one resurrection opportunity will be used up on your way to sell information..."

"Raven, that is blatant slander! That man was clearly very satisfied with the information I just sold!!" Loren retorted with conviction.

"Idiot Master, that's because he couldn't beat you..."

"...I'm not listening, I'm not listening! You're just prejudiced against me!!"

"Whether it's prejudice or not, you know it in your heart! You bastard Master!"

While bickering with Raven, Loren slowly walked back and sat down on the chair in front of the bar counter, pretending nothing had happened.

Loren sat at the bar and waited for another two minutes.

Only then did Miss Anna, who had left earlier, finally push open the door next to the bar counter and walk out, arriving fashionably late.

Returning behind the bar, Anna held a delicate black box in her hand and gently placed it on the countertop.

Then, she smiled and asked Loren:

"How should I address you, my Shareholder, sir?"

Loren fell silent for a moment.

Then, gazing intently at the black box on the counter, he asked with utmost sincerity:

"Madam Anna, I wonder if your establishment accepts Federation fugitives into the 'Illusionary Night's Dream' tavern?"

Hearing this, Anna's expression froze for a second.

*Aren't you being a bit too honest? That doesn't quite match the aura you carry, my Year-end Bonus sir...*

"Of course... we do not refuse anyone."

"However, you may choose to use an alias. It would be better for everyone involved..." Anna reminded him with a smile.

After hearing Anna's words, Loren nodded with considerable regret.

*What a pity. I wanted to show off my bounty amount to the other shareholders...*

"Any alias is acceptable, Madam Anna?"

"Certainly, but it's best if the alias is somewhat brief, making it easier for other shareholders to remember you during shareholder meetings..." Anna reminded him again.

Then, Loren fell into deep thought, trying to come up with an alias for himself...

However, his naming ability was as picky as his aesthetic sense.

Thus, even after several minutes, Loren still hadn't settled on his alias...

A good while later.

Under Anna's expectant gaze after waiting for so long, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Loren's mind!

"Destiny."

A faint smile curled at the corner of Loren's mouth.

Upon hearing this word, Anna was also taken aback for a moment.

Fortunately, her reaction was quick enough. She instantly understood that this was the new alias Loren had chosen for himself...

"Very well, Mr. Destiny... this shall be your shareholder designation from now on."

As she spoke, Anna gently pushed the black box resting on the bar countertop towards Loren with her hand.

"This is the token held by shareholders of the 'Illusionary Night's Dream' tavern—the Illusion Dream Ring. Please be sure to keep it safe."

"If lost, replacing it will also cost 500,000 Spirit Stones..."

Loren looked down at the black box pushed towards him on the table. He cautiously scanned it once with his Spiritual Power, confirming there was no danger, before reaching out to open the exquisite box before him.

Inside the box, there was nothing else, only a peculiar ring.

The band of the ring was entirely a flowing deep blue, like the undulating surface of the sea.

Yet, set right on top of the ring was an inlaid deep yellow gemstone, within which drifted faint, wispy strands of golden-yellow sand...

The entire ring was like a clever fusion of the stars in the sky and the deep azure of the vast ocean.

It was a creation that could absolutely be called a "perfect work of art."

Loren quietly examined this undoubtedly expensive ring, silently guessing:

*So, those 500,000 Spirit Stones refer to the price of buying this ring? Interesting...*

Loren reached out, took the ring from the box, compared the ring size, and then slipped this peculiar ring onto the index finger of his left hand.

At that moment, Madam Anna's voice sounded again, at just the right moment:

"Mr. Destiny, please use your Spiritual Power to engrave a pattern, known only to you, onto the deep yellow gemstone of the 'Illusion Dream Ring'. This ensures that only you can use this ring..."

Loren nodded silently. *It's the same usage method as the 'Crimson Tear'...*

Then, Loren used his Spiritual Power to engrave a pattern of a raven wearing a hat onto the deep yellow gemstone of this "Illusion Dream Ring."

For his own convenience, the password patterns for the "Crimson Tear" and the "Illusion Dream Ring" were set by Loren to be identical.

After completing all this, Loren looked up at Anna and asked softly:

"The pattern is engraved. What next?"

Anna, standing behind the bar, solemnly bowed deeply to Loren.

"From this moment on, you are a Shareholder of the 'Illusionary Night's Dream' tavern."

"Henceforth, all 'Illusionary Night's Dream' taverns within the Star Realm will be open to you."

"Furthermore, all services provided by shareholders will be offered to you at a 20% discount."

"Of course, please also remember this rule when other shareholders require services from you."

"Any shareholder who violates this rule will have their shareholder status revoked by the tavern's founder..."

Having said that, Anna straightened up and gave Loren a slight smile, continuing to explain meticulously:

"Now, you can infuse your Spiritual Power into the Illusion Dream Ring."

"Inside the Illusion Dream Ring is connected a peculiar spiritual plane. The owner of this spiritual plane is the tavern founder—it is absolutely confidential."

"You can create a spiritual phantom within it."

"This spiritual phantom will be used for your daily communication with other shareholders, as well as the image you display when the founder convenes shareholder meetings."

"I must remind you that the shareholders of Illusionary Night's Dream include various races from across the Star Realm."

"Please, when communicating with other shareholders, respect the customs and taboos of their respective races, and try to maintain a relatively amiable atmosphere..."

"Finally, when you set up your spiritual phantom, a prompt to fill out a business card will appear."

"The business card is publicly visible to all shareholders. Please fill it out carefully."

"You can write your race, your needs, and the services you can provide on the card."

"I hope the Illusionary Night's Dream tavern can bring you a dreamlike experience..."

After listening to Anna's meticulous explanation, Loren silently glanced at the ring adorning the index finger of his left hand, thinking to himself:

*Is it an illusion?*

*I feel... I've... accidentally joined some kind of incredible organization...*
