Chapter 602: The Way of the Thief, Profound and Extensive

[On the throne, the bandit leader was slightly moved when he saw you successfully steal the sixth treasure chest. ]

[Then he noticed that you were holding the magic stone and cast a puzzled look at him. ]

[The other bandits around him looked at this scene and cast more or less questioning glances at him. At present, the highest record of ordinary bandits stealing treasure chests is the fifth treasure chest. No one has ever successfully opened the sixth treasure chest in public, so no one knows that the sixth treasure chest actually contains props, not divinity. ]

[Faced with everyone's doubts, the bandit leader was a little embarrassed and explained calmly: "In addition to divinity, there is also a chance to steal some rare props in the sixth and seventh treasure chests. They are all special rewards set by me, such as this magic stone, which is the magic stone that records the golden left hand!" ]

[The bandits exclaimed when they heard this. The Golden Left Hand is one of the advanced stealing techniques passed down by the ancestors of the Sparrow People. Currently, it is only mastered by a very small number of elite bandits. In terms of value alone, it is definitely not less than 30,000 divinities, and it is in short supply and cannot be bought even with money. 】

【The bandits looked at you with envy. The bandit leader specifically pointed out the name of the prop, allowing everyone to recognize its value. It is indeed worthy of the special reward, and it is also certain that the leader did not fool them. 】

For the bandit leader's statement, Mu You has only two words: bullshit!

Just now, when he found that this stone was rolled out, he also suspected that he was unlucky and did not get the divinity. He specifically went back thousands of times to try, and the result was that the two goods that came out later were also this thing.

Mu You immediately believed that there was no divinity in this box, only this prop.

Obviously, the bandit leader could not take out more divinity, or he did not expect that someone would be able to open the things in the sixth box, so he just threw a prop in to perfunctorily deal with it.

Of course, Mu You knew the other party's routine at this time, but he didn't expose it in public. The main reason was that he couldn't explain it. He couldn't tell others that he could try and fail infinitely.

[Under the expectant eyes of the bandits, you walked to the seventh treasure chest and slowly reached out...]

Mu You didn't have much expectation for the seventh box, because even the sixth box was perfunctorily stuffed with a prop, not to mention the seventh.

[The theft was successful! You stole an ancient map from the seventh treasure chest...]

Sure enough...

Mu You clicked on the entry to view.

[Unknown map: an animal skin map without any markings. Perhaps because of the long time, the guide runes on it have disappeared, and even the terrain lines have become blurred. Only a rough outline of the landform and an 'X'-shaped mark can be seen, which seems to indicate that there is a treasure buried in this place. ]

"Uh..."

Mu You took it out and looked at it, and was speechless.

As the text described, the map was blurry beyond recognition. It was more like a random doodle than a map. One could only vaguely see a few strange-shaped mountains and waterfalls, and then drew a crooked "cross" at the foot of one of the mountains.

This thing was even more abstract than the last magic stone. Not to mention whether it was a real treasure map, even if there was a treasure, there was no approximate location marked. There was only this piece of topographic map without a beginning or an end. The Gaotian world was so vast, and this combination of mountains and waterfalls was everywhere. Where could he find it?

[On the throne, the bandit leader saw that you had successfully stolen something from the seventh treasure chest, and his eyes suddenly flashed, but soon disappeared. He lowered his head and his eyebrows turned several times, changing into a slightly surprised expression. 】

【Facing the gazes of others, the bandit leader hurriedly explained: "Well, I put 100,000 divinities and three kinds of Easter egg props in the seventh treasure chest. Unfortunately, you are unlucky and won the last prize... But don't underestimate this map. I once spent a lot of money to buy it from a crow man. It is said to be a treasure map. If you can find the place on it, you may get a richer reward..."】

Mu You is already immune to the bandit leader's empty promises.

Obviously, even he himself doesn't know what is hidden in the place on the map. It is very likely that he just found a map by chance. He thinks it looks like a treasure map, but he can't find it. It's a pity to throw it away, so he just stuffed it into the treasure chest as a reward.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care too much. Anyway, he didn't have much hope. It was a big profit to get the harvest from the first five boxes. Just pretend that he didn't see this map.

Thinking of this, Mu You was about to put away the map, but when he turned to the back, he suddenly found a few lines of faint characters on the lower right corner of the back of the animal skin.

Mu You hurriedly picked up the animal skin and carefully identified it.

"... location... things... sent to... thank you very much..."

The characters were intermittent, and because they were too vague, it was difficult to connect them into a complete sentence, and the amount of information that could be interpreted was very small.

But this is not the point. The point is that the characters on it are actually the Star Spirit Language!

The Star Spirit Language is the language created by the Protoss specifically for the Star Spirit World. The intelligent creatures in the High Sky World communicate almost all in the Protoss language.

The only people who can use the Star Spirit Language in the High Sky World, except the Protoss, are the Fools. For the Protoss, the Protoss Language is their mother tongue. Who would use the Star Spirit Language in writing for nothing?

In other words, this map is actually something left by a Fool ancestor when he was fighting in the High Sky?

However, even if he figured out the origin of the blueprint, Mu You couldn't look for it, because the world of Gaotian is too big, and there is too little information left on the map. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. You can only rely on fate in the future. If you happen to see a similar place, you can go and look for it. If you don't see it, you can only give up.

Mu You looked back at the game, and a new text had popped up at this time.

[The clapping of the bandit leader echoed in the hall. ]

[In the stunned eyes of other bandits, the bandit leader walked down the throne, came to you, and smiled at you: "Good boy, you are really extraordinary! Did you see it? People are self-taught and have this level of stealing. What qualifications do you have not to work hard?" ]

[The bandit leader first used your deeds to inspire other bandits, making them all bow their heads in shame, and then looked at you, as if he had a heart of love for talent, and threw out an olive branch: "Young man, I am very optimistic about you, are you interested in joining my team?" ]

[Faced with the other party's recruitment, you did not agree directly, but asked what the benefits of joining the other party are? 】

【"The most direct benefit of joining us is that you don't have to wander around anymore. You can steal freely in this Crow Tribe from now on... Of course, you have to abide by the local rules."】

【"In addition, you have excellent talent. It's a waste of talent for you to be an ordinary bandit. How about this, if you agree to join, I can let you be the second in command, and I will also personally teach you more advanced theft methods!" The bandit leader said confidently. 】

【The other bandits around him whispered when they heard this, and they all looked at you with envy and jealousy. 】

【"The more advanced theft methods refer to the 'Golden Left Hand'?" You raised the magic stone you just got in your hand and asked back. 】

This bandit leader suddenly wanted to recruit him and proposed a lot of benefits. Mu You was not really interested in this, because following these bandits, he had to abide by various rules, which would make him feel constrained.

If the other party only wanted to teach the skill of 'Golden Left Hand' that could increase the success rate of theft, Mu You would be ready to directly benefit.

【“That’s just one of them…” The bandit leader looked at you calmly, his face a little unhappy: “You don’t think that after opening a few boxes, your stealing skills are invincible, right?”】

【You didn’t answer, looking straight at the other party, waiting for the next words. 】

【“It seems that I can’t subdue you without showing you a trick.” The bandit leader sneered, returned to the throne in the distance and sat down, looking at you with interest. 】

【“Let me guess, you have a total of… 32751 points of divinity, right?” The bandit leader asked with a smile. 】

Mu You glanced at the balance displayed on the panel… 32751.

He was right…

Mu You raised his eyebrows, so this person can directly see the total amount of divinity on others?

If so, this is indeed a good ability.

【“Haha, don’t worry, let’s see how much you have left now.” The bandit leader suddenly said again. 】

Mu You subconsciously glanced at the balance again and frowned immediately.

The balance at this time was actually… 0!

In other words, the other party stole all his divinity in just a few seconds, and he didn't notice it at all?

More importantly, he is now more than ten meters away from the other party, and the requirement for stealing is that it must be within three meters to initiate. So, the other party can also steal remotely?

This is a bit hard to defend against!

Thinking of this, Mu You subconsciously pressed the table to go back and carefully observe the panel.

Sure enough, this time Mu You saw it clearly. After going back a few seconds, his divinity was suddenly emptied in the half second before the other party spoke.

Mu You immediately pressed the table again.

He has confirmed that this person has the ability to steal remotely. Next, he wants to see how high the other party's success rate of stealing is. It can't be 100%, right?

[Time passes, the bandit leader on the throne looks at you confidently, and his right hand moves slightly. ]

[As a result, the smile on its face froze in the next second, and it spoke strangely after a moment: "Good boy, you can actually defend it. It's really extraordinary. I am more and more interested in you..."]

Mu You's forehead is already sweating at this time.

It turns out that the other party's theft was not 100% successful, but it was almost the same... Just now, he went back more than 5,000 times under precautions before he failed the theft for the first time.

But this is not the most important thing. What surprised him even more was that after the other party's theft failed, his text still had no prompts!

This means that the other party also has the ability to not be exposed even if the theft fails...

[The bandit leader on the throne failed to steal and was still thinking about how to proceed. You suddenly raised your hand to indicate that you don't need to continue. You are willing to join them. ]

Mu You was not interested in this bandit organization at first. He was ready to take some benefits and run away with the money.

However, the other party's display made him see the breadth and depth of the thief industry.

Mu You admitted that he was a little interested now. Running away was certain, but before running away, at least he had to learn these practical skills.

["Very good!" The bandit leader saw that you took the initiative to agree and was very satisfied with your change of attitude. 】

【"Follow me for the next few days. I will teach you several advanced stealing techniques in person during the 'hunting'." The bandit leader said with a smile. 】

From what he heard, the other party probably didn't have any extra magic stones for him to use, so he could only teach him in person and he would learn from the side.

Mu You would not refuse such a free teaching.

The only thing that made him a little strange was, what was this person trying to do?

He was just a new outsider. From the other party's perspective, his background was not clear at all. In this case, the other party suddenly wanted him to be the second in command and taught him all his unique skills...

Mu You would not be so naive to think that the leader of a bandit organization would be so selfless. This person must have other intentions.

However, Mu You didn't care about this. Anyway, he was a fool and had the ability to resurrect. Even if he was killed, he could be resurrected immediately, and he could extract all the treasures and divinity in his body into reality at any time.

In short, no matter what the other party wanted to do, he could not get any benefits from him.

Then the other party did not ask him to sign any contract or anything like that. He held a simple dinner on the spot and ate a meal, which was considered as officially joining this thief organization.

After the dinner, the bandit leader immediately took Mu You out and began to wander and "hunt" in the Crow Tribe.

【“I know six high-level theft techniques, in addition to the ‘Golden Left Hand’, there are also the ‘Golden Right Hand’, ‘Precision Theft’, ‘Divine Vision’, ‘Invisible Hand’, and ‘Escape with All Body’.”】

【“Among them, the Golden Right Hand is similar to the Golden Left Hand, which can greatly increase the right hand’s theft rate. If you master both the Golden Left and Right Hands, you can double the success rate again when stealing!”】

【“As for ‘Divine Vision’ and ‘Precision Theft’, after one is activated, you can see the specific number of divinities carried by the surrounding creatures, and the other can accurately steal a fixed number of divinities.”】

【“Escape with All Body, as the name suggests, even if the theft fails, it will not be noticed by the target.”】

【“As for ‘Invisible Hand’, it can generate an invisible palm to perform remote theft on your behalf, which can extend up to one thousand meters! However, this theft technique has a higher star level, and you must first master the ‘Divine Vision’ as a prerequisite before you can comprehend and use it.”】

【The bandit leader crouched in the bushes, looking at the night market in the distance, and introduced all its theft effects to you. 】

Mu You nodded after reading it. Among these theft techniques, he was most interested in the 'Invisible Hand'. Whether a thief can steal remotely or not is two different concepts. Moreover, the maximum distance of this technique is up to one thousand meters, so he can hide in the fog to steal.

The second is the 'Divine Vision', which can see the divinity of the surrounding creatures at any time, which is much more convenient in various senses.

The remaining three techniques are actually not very meaningful to him, who has a pocket watch. At most, they can make him press the watch less and steal more easily. However, they are all free anyway, so it's a waste not to learn them.

["Watch carefully, I will teach you the 'Golden Right Hand' first. Pay attention to my next move..." The bandit stretched out his hand and started stealing at a passing rock rabbit in front of him. ]

[The next second, a divine crystal appeared in the bandit's hand. ]

[At a close distance, the bandit deliberately slowed down his speed. You successfully saw the bandit's every move and had some understanding in your heart...]

[Your comprehension of the 'Golden Right Hand' has increased by 0.01%...]
