Lan Huaijie finally turned around to look at him, "I am no longer a dungeon Player."
Players are not absolutely unable to leave instances. Apart from becoming a wanted criminal, which is a high-risk method, suspending Player status or becoming a Grey Player also allows one to avoid entering instances. However, suspension of Player status means you can't use your personal panel and Props. Since Lan Huaijie still can use Props, it indicates he is a Grey Player.
Acquiring Grey Player status is not easy. Xu Huo knew the conditions were harsh when doing odd jobs for the Game Government Base in Zone 011. But the District Government can trade with the Game Government Base to get quotas, and this is also reflected among the Nobles in Zone 011. Lan Huaijie comes from a good family, so it's very likely he obtained Grey Player status. However, given District 001's current situation, getting a Grey Player quota is probably not easy.
Using the Tickets again means re-entering the game.
