He no longer remembers how he entered "A Thousand Miles Without Leaving a Name". Vaguely, at the very beginning of the game, he was picking fruit in the woods. As he picked, he stumbled upon a new map where a group of people was engaged in a private chat on the grass. He circled around the crowd twice, and suddenly the game prompted him that "A Smile Like Smoke and Clouds" invited him to join the guild, so he accepted the invitation.

In the course of his aimless gaming career, countless individuals have inquired about the conditions for the "No Name Left Behind" recruitment. However, Comrade Cui Ru Lan has always been unable to provide an answer. He himself does not understand why he has not yet been expelled from the guild. Nevertheless, since he has inexplicably been accepted as a member of such an impressive guild, he is naturally delighted and has no intention of leaving.

Then he never saw any member of the guild again, and the next day he forgot all about the guild

The screen was displaying Tang Xiaofeng adding "Cui Rulan" as a friend, yet her attention was not on the "vest" lying horizontally at Tang Xiaofeng's feet, nor on the graceful Cui Rulan, but rather on a line of small text in Cui Rulan's detailed information that read, "Affiliated Guild: Qianli Buliuming"

"No, no." Xue Chunchai moved his fingers and said, "I am cutting you because I respect you." Luo Dai touched her cheek and replied, "Oh." The little orange beside her pushed over a thick stack of documents, expressionless, and said, "Files." Luo Dai looked at the half-person-high stack of files and exclaimed, "Isn't this the case of nine suicides? Why is there so much material?"

And Cui Ru Lan is the inexplicable presence within the guild

The guild "No Name Left After a Thousand Miles" is also very mysterious, having only accepted a little over thirty members in total. In a world where there are hundreds of thousands of assassin players, many aspire to join this guild, yet very few are granted approval. Most players in this guild are quite low-key, interacting only with their own members and having little to no contact with outsiders. The activities of the guild are as enigmatic as those of its leader; their whereabouts are generally unknown, and most members conceal their information, making it impossible to discern their affiliation with "No Name Left After a Thousand Miles".

Upon receiving the notification to assist Xue Chunchai with the case, Luo Dai cheerfully arrived at the office of the night shift. Leaning against the door, he knocked and whistled. Xiao Ju lowered her head, quietly muttering to herself about the young scions, the wealthy second generation, the offspring of officials, their lack of ambition, and their inherent laziness... Meanwhile, Luo Dai, oblivious to the young girl's assessment of him, smiled brightly at Director Xue, saying, "Hi!"

This is a guild exclusively for assassins, shrouded in mystery. The guild leader, "One Kill in Ten Steps," ranks among the top ten in both the PK leaderboard and the level leaderboard, yet very few have encountered him in the game. It is said that he employs stealth technology to ambush his targets, achieving a one-hit kill. Many high-level players on the leaderboard have been infuriated after being eliminated in an instant, but no matter how much they prepare, they cannot guard against the strikes of "One Kill in Ten Steps." He is indeed known for his impeccable accuracy, and when he is not actively killing, no one can locate him. This has led many who seek revenge against him to lose hope, as being killed by him is merely considered bad luck.

"Sit down." Xue Chunchai pointed to the small stool opposite his sofa, which he usually used to rest his feet. Luo Dai slowly kicked the stool aside, "You attacked me in the game just to force me to help you investigate the case?"
