The entrance and exit of the Fish Banquet are also very secretive. There are many interpretations of "Beneath the Dimension." Those who claim, whether true or false, that they have gone in and out of that place describe it as a paradise for the ambitious, with language that is clearly inciting, so the entrance is also spoken of in very mysterious terms.

Some say the Fish Banquet actively selects its guests, and the entrance only appears to those with an invitation. Others say there’s a special mark at the entrance that corresponds to the mark on the invitation. Still, others say the Fish Banquet is held in a separate space, so the entrance is a Spatial Gate, and those with invitations are the guests while those without may stumble in by chance, but they are not regarded as guests.

There are many sayings, and even more regarding the location of the entrance, with many claiming to have seen it at various Wormhole Points in various zones.

Of course, those who claim to have seen it are not necessarily lying, considering that the Fish Banquet venue is not fixed in any one zone.

Whether you find it seems to depend on fate.

When it comes to well-informed resources, the people at the Advanced Wormhole Sites are top-notch.

So he contacted Shi Sanjiu.

Shi Sanjiu had just come out of an instance, and quickly replied to his contact, "I’ll get back to you within a day."

Xu Huo closed his personal panel and gazed out at the garden through the window.

After sitting idly for a while, he went downstairs to find a pair of scissors and headed to the garden to trim the flower branches.

Mr. Dong brought a vase and asked him to pick some flowers to decorate the castle.

Flowers bloom all year round in the castle, and no room is without them on any day. Usually, Mr. Dong takes care of this.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Xu Huo asked Mr. Dong as he pruned, "Or take your pet spiders to a competition?"

Mr. Dong wasn’t very interested in traveling at the moment and preferred to stay and watch over the castle, so he politely declined Xu Huo’s offer.

Xu Huo didn’t ask if he felt bored but suggested that he could take a stroll nearby in his spare time to enrich his daily life.

"The dividends from the shares you’re handling can be used," he mentioned.

At this, Mr. Dong’s expression relaxed a bit, knowing that with more leeway, he could maintain the castle however he wished.

After Xu Huo and Mr. Dong had placed the vases in each room, barely having time to sit down for a drink, they were contacted by the Enforcement Department, asking Xu Huo to bail out Dr. Deng.

"What crime did he commit?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Group fighting and using contraband," the person from the Enforcement Department said politely. "According to regulations, you need to pay a bail fee to take him out."

"No need for bail, keep him there for a few days until he learns his lesson," Xu Huo said without hesitation.

"Are you heartless?!" Dr. Deng’s voice came through, "I ended up like this because of you, come get me out quickly!"

Xu Huo sneered, "Instead of working diligently at home, you go out to brawl and disrupt public order; it’s lenient that you’re only detained."

Dr. Deng was at a loss for words, sensing Xu Huo really didn’t plan to help him, and quickly said, "Aren’t you looking for a potion for the Black Thorn disease? I’ve already researched it!"

Black Thorn disease is a genetic illness prevalent in the "Wandering Melissa" instance. This disease not only shortens lifespan but also impairs reproductive ability, nearly driving the instance’s zone to extinction.

Dr. Deng’s former friend Joyce dedicated his last days to finding a cure for this illness. Xu Huo had also acquired some of Dr. Joyce’s research results in the instance, which he had intended to bring back for Dr. Deng to develop a Gene Potion to address the issue.

"Are you sure?" Xu Huo squinted, his tone hard to read.

"Pretty sure..." Dr. Deng hesitantly replied, "Although not completely resolved, it’s enough to solve their dilemma..."

"Wait there." Xu Huo cut off the communication and boarded a vehicle to the Enforcement Department.

This was not Xu Huo’s first time at the Enforcement Department building; the difference was that last time he was working for the Game Government Base, whereas this time he was regarded as an "important person."

Despite a conflict with Bai Jianzhang over the Player’s accidental escape at the Rose Castle, he now bore the "Werna" label, preventing the Enforcement Department from openly giving him trouble. The person who received him showed quite a bit of friendliness.

He successfully retrieved Dr. Deng.

Dr. Deng’s condition wasn’t great; he was bruised and battered, with a limp.

"They said group fighting; why does it look like you were the one getting beaten?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.

"Don’t even mention it," Dr. Deng grimaced, criticizing those people for lacking a medical spirit, "Things could have been discussed; why resort to fists? I only went to break up the fight, and they targeted me! Shameless. Are they jealous of my talents?"

"Speaking of talents," Xu Huo smiled, "How come you never mentioned the Gene Potion before? Would you have told me if not for today’s incident?"

Realizing the implication, Dr. Deng quickly replied, "Absolutely not! I wanted to develop a perfect Gene Potion before telling you. Pursuing perfection is my principle... but using a temporary solution is also fine considering their situation..."

Under Xu Huo’s gaze, his voice grew smaller, ultimately dropping his head guiltily, "I truly meant well."

"Go back and check your work." Xu Huo didn’t waste more words with him.

Using Dr. Joyce’s foundation, Dr. Deng had indeed made some advancements. While unable to completely eradicate Black Thorn disease, it could prolong the life expectancy and partially restore fertility as the condition eased—this was a breakthrough for the hopeless zone.

Having accumulated data from repeated experiments with the Gene Potion, Xu Huo promptly bundled it off to Chang Shoujie for trials on people in their zone.

Along with it, he sent Little Melissa a small container prop for snacks and toys.

The effects of the potion weren’t immediately visible, but Chang Shoujie quickly reported back, expressing immense gratitude. He also sent a video of Little Melissa reading; she had grown significantly and no longer seemed as ignorant as before.

Dr. Deng, still nursing his wounds, remarked, "Let me know if it works."

Xu Huo handed over the medicine for his injuries, "What happened there? And what’s the situation with the contraband?"

Dr. Deng hissed as he recounted the events.

He was actually at a gathering of medical doctors, and the so-called contraband wasn’t stimulants but rather a special potion brought in by someone. They had pre-agreed to experiment with modifications to the potion.

With so many people, disagreements led to a scuffle. Then, due to the shady behavior of the person who brought the potion, a neighbor reported them. When the Enforcement Department arrived, everyone was rounded up.
