Chapter 601: Making money, not being shabby

Mu You gave up the idea of ​​going back for the time being and decided to see what the Crow Man wanted to do first.

　　　【You looked at the Crow Man in confusion, indicating that you were not sure what it meant. 】

"You must be the new guy here recently, right? I've seen all the bandits on this mountain, but this is the first time I've seen you." The Crow Man looked at you suspiciously. 】

　　【You nodded, acknowledging that you had indeed just arrived yesterday. 】

"Then you used to work in that mountain top? Who was your master? Didn't he teach you the rules of being a bandit?" Crow Man asked with a frown. 】

　　　【You shake your head to show that you have no master and no mountain. You have always been alone and wandering around. 】

  【"No master? Really or not?!" The crow-man looks at you in disbelief. It sees that your stealing skills are good and your success rate is very high. It is enough to kill most of the bandits instantly, but it turns out that you are still self-taught...】

　　【The Crow Man looked at you in surprise, stroking his chin, as if he had something else on his mind. 】

"But even if you are new here, you can't mess around like this. When you come to our territory, you have to abide by our rules, do you understand?" The Crow Man suddenly changed to a teaching tone. 】

　　　"What rules?" you asked. 】

　　　"Have you ever been a bandit?" Crow Man asked. 】

　　【You shake your head and answer truthfully, no. 】

"Follow me." The Crow Man looked around cautiously, seeing a crowd of people, waving to you and leading you to an uninhabited corner outside the village. 】

　　【The Crow waved you to come closer, and whispered in a persuasive manner: "New bandits must first report to the local Crow leader. If they give permission, you can steal here."】

　　【You looked at it a little strangely: "As a thief, I still have to report to the local officials first, and do I still have to abide by their rules?"]

　　　“That's not the case! And we must strictly abide by the principles of 'don't steal from locals' and 'don't steal anti-theft bags'.”]

　　【You looked at it even more strangely, saying that you seemed to have seen many cases of theft by local people on the notice board in the village. 】

["Those are cases of accidental theft, or cases that were deliberately staged for outsiders to see, so as not to make outsiders think that we have colluded with the Ya people." The Ya people said: "And after the incident is completed, the money from the Ya people must be returned in full. , foreigners' money will be divided into 30% and 70%.”]

　　""Why only 70%?" you asked. 】

"Seventy percent belong to other people! It depends on the face of the local clan leader!" said the Crow Man. 】

"…" Mu You finally understood why the Yaman guard wanted to keep accounts when he reported the case. It was for the convenience of dividing the stolen goods in the future.

　　【You look at each other speechlessly, indicating that you are a bandit and you have to bear the risk when you steal something. If you let others take away the big part, you still have to look at people's faces... Don't you feel aggrieved to be a bandit? 】

["What's wrong with you?" Yaren looked at you in confusion, patted your shoulder and comforted you: "I understand, we just make hard money and are exploited by others. It's a bit embarrassing to tell it, but it's okay. The way is, our industry is going this way right now, making money, it's not shabby!”]

　　【You express your incomprehension. Obviously the sparrows and the crows are grasshoppers on the same rope, and the local crows can't do anything to you, why can't they stand up and make money in an upright manner? 】

"Brother, you mean..." Ma Bandit didn't understand what you meant. 】

["I mean, how much money do those outsiders have with them? Obviously the Ya people are the richest fat sheep in the local area, and they are not as good as the big ones. All the gangsters joined forces and took the Ya people in one pot. Guaranteed to gain a lot of weight!" You start to PUA against the other party. 】

["Can't make it!" After hearing this, the bandit waved his hands repeatedly: "The Ya people are all people who regard wealth as their lives. If you do this, the Ya people and us will work hard. In the end, we can only make a short amount of money, and we will also make money." We have been banned by all the arakkoa tribes. Being a bandit is a long-term business. How can we make money even if we work hard!"]

【The bandit tried hard to correct your incorrect view of banditry, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Forget it, you come with me..."]

　　　“Where to go?” you asked. 】

  【"Take you to see our boss."】

 “And there's a boss?” Mu You was surprised. He thought these thieves were all self-employed and were responsible for their own profits and losses, but they were actually a collective organization...

　　【This bandit seems to be taking you to the bandit's lair. Do you want to follow? 】

"yes."

  …You follow the arakkoa people out of the village, pass through several iron cable suspension bridges, and finally reach the 13th hill. 】

　　　【You stopped in front of an ordinary Crow house on the top of the mountain. You followed the bandit into the house. The bandit moved the wooden cabinet in the corner to reveal a cellar entrance below. Only then did you realize that there was a cave underground. 】

　　【You follow the arakkoa and jump into the cave, pass through a dark corridor, and a simple stone door appears at the end in front of you. 】

[Two Crow People who were chatting at the door saw you approaching and hurriedly stopped you. They frowned at you first, and then looked at the bandit leading the way: "Who is this person? How can you bring outsiders here!" 】

　　【"There's a new bandit, let me talk to the boss!" After the bandit finished speaking, he turned to look at you and warned: "Stay here, don't run around!"]

After saying that, the bandit pushed open the door and entered the room. The two Crow Men did not stop them, but they still stared at you warily, as if if you made any unnecessary move, they would immediately rise up and capture you. 】

　　…After a moment, a strange arakkoa poked his head out of the door and glanced at you: "You are the new guy, right? Our boss has agreed to meet you, come with me!"]

　　【The two guards then let you go. You follow the Crow Man into the door and come to a dark and empty hall. 】

　　【Directly in front of the hall, a tall one-eyed Crow Man is sitting on a stone throne. The bandit who brought you here stands respectfully behind the Throne Crow Man. 】

　　【The arakkoa on the throne looked at you and laughed out loud: "Haha, I thought it was one of his subordinates who acted so unruly, but it turned out to be a wild boy from out of town."]

["You are a foreign bandit. On the first day you came here, you broke all the rules on our mountain. As a result, we were warned several times by the local arakkoa people. We were not able to 'hunt' this day, and we suffered losses. You have lost at least tens of thousands of gods...Tell me, how do you plan to compensate?"]

[The one-eyed arakkoa looks at you with a threatening expression. At the same time, a large number of arakkoa suddenly pour out from both sides of the hall, each holding a knife, axe, and a stick, glaring at you with an evil expression, and surrounding you. , one by one with murderous looks on their faces...]

Unsurprisingly, these arakkoa people should all be bandits, and they were much more numerous than he expected, at least seventy or eighty of them. They gave him a scare as soon as they met, with the implicit intention of forcing him to spend money to save his life.

But Mu You doesn't care about this. It's impossible to pay money. Anyway, if you die once, it's not like you can't be resurrected.

I just took this opportunity to write down the appearance and strength of these arakkoa people to facilitate future operations.

Thinking like this, Mu You kept looking back, and at the same time controlled the character to scan everyone present one by one.

It turns out that the strength of these bandits is pretty good. Most of them are 5-star creatures, only a few are 4-stars, and there are also a very few 6-stars. And the bandit king on the throne is actually a 7-star creature. The creature is also the only 7 star on the scene.

　　【Faced with the murderous intent of everyone present, you acted neither humble nor arrogant, and your calm and unhurried manner surprised many people. 】

"Boss, this newcomer is not ordinary..." At this time, the bandit who brought you here whispered a few words to the leader on the throne. 】

　　【With your super-sensory hearing, you vaguely heard the conversation between the two people: "...I personally watched what he did. When the vendors were already on guard, he succeeded every time without making any mistakes..."]

"Oh?" The bandit leader was also a little moved after hearing this, and looked at you again. 】

[After thinking for a moment, the leader of the bandits suddenly waved to the side: "Take out the box."]    [Hearing this, several of the bandits on the side immediately took out seven boxes of different sizes and placed them on the ground in order according to their size. Get out of the way. 】

You look at these boxes and find that they all seem to be living creatures. You can faintly see tongues and fangs at the mouth of the boxes, and they are still breathing visibly. 】

[Before you ask, the leader of the hemp bandits has already explained it to you: "These boxes are called 'money greed boxes', which are props used by the hemp bandits internally to test their stealing abilities. Each box is equivalent to an activity with a different star rating." People, from 3 stars to 9 stars, it will become more and more difficult to steal."]

  【"Aren't you capable? Then let me see how capable you are?"】

["You need to hold more than 5,000 divinities to participate, and you only have one chance for each box. As long as you can steal the items inside, you can steal as much as you want, but pay attention! If you fail to steal, you will be Your divinity will be stolen by these boxes, and the bigger the box, the more divinity will be stolen from you. I am willing to admit defeat!"]

"How about it? As long as you are willing to take part in this test and steal every box, I will forget about today's events, and I will also help you settle the case you are currently facing."]

"Money box..." Mu You touched his chin, indicating that he had become more knowledgeable. Usually boxes are used to store things, but I didn't expect that there are boxes that can actively steal things.

The leader of the bandits threw out the game invitation with a sinister smile. The other bandits around him also looked at you with sneers, as if they were already waiting to see you wiped clean by the money-grubbing box. 】

【Obviously, this is a gamble with great risks. If you are not careful, you may lose all your money. Only those who have mastered the art of stealing can have the courage to give it a try. Do you want to accept the invitation? 】

"yes."

Mu You agreed without much hesitation. It's not that he's a brave person, but he has a pocket watch to protect his bottom line. He has never suffered a loss in this kind of face-saving bet.

　　【Under the attention of all the bandits, you walked to the first box. 】

[The sharp-toothed box senses your approach, and the tongue outside the box licks its lips, revealing the empty box inside, like a hungry hunting dog that can't wait to eat from you. '. 】

　　【You stretched out your hand and started stealing the box in front of you...】

　　【Theft failed! You have had 540 divinity points stolen from you...]

 The first box can steal hundreds of points from him. Mu You has no doubt that the following boxes can steal all his savings at once.

 No wonder these bandits are all waiting to see the expressions of fun. This kind of game is a trap. Even if the first few boxes are successful, as long as they fail once, they will be cleared instantly.

Mu You shook his head, went back according to the table, and started over.

　　【Theft successful! You stole 6 points of divinity from the box! 】

 “emmm…”

Mu You guessed that the first box might not contain much, but 6 points was a bit too stingy.

Mu You then went back and tried a few more times. As a result, the divinity stolen was always hovering in single digits, with the most being only 10 points.

Mu You decisively stopped and headed to the next box.

【Everyone was not surprised when they saw you successfully stole the first box. The first box was the simplest test, and bandits who were new to theft skills could almost succeed in the first attempt. 】

　　【You came to the second box and launched a theft on the box that was one size larger than the one in front of you...】

　　【Theft failed! You have had 1022 points of divinity stolen...]

 “Look back…”

　　【Theft failed...】

 “Look back…”

　　【Theft successful! You stole 115 points of divinity from the box! 】

There are obviously a lot more gods in the second box, but compared with the cost of failure, it is still not proportional.

Mu You went back and tried several more times, and found that the number of thefts was always between one hundred and two hundred points, so he stopped fussing. Such a small number of mosquito legs was not worth spending too much energy on, and the big head was obviously behind.

 Muyou followed the same pattern, stealing from small boxes to large boxes.

　　【Theft successful! You stole 777 divinity points from the third box! 】

　　【Theft successful! You stole 2912 points of divinity from the fourth box! 】

　　【Theft successful! You stole 21560 divinity points from the fifth box! 】

Starting from the fourth box, the difficulty suddenly increased sharply. Mu You tried the fourth box hundreds of times before he succeeded once. Not to mention the fifth box, the success rate had dropped to less than one thousandth.

 But at the same time, the rewards also began to increase significantly. The divine stock in the fourth box was around 3,000 points, and the amount in the fifth box soared to more than 20,000 points!

 Mu You was a little surprised. Although the risks designed by these gangsters are extremely high, the rewards are quite clear. If you win, you will get rich overnight!

With just a few boxes opened, Mu You's divine assets have increased four to five times, easily exceeding 30,000!

Moreover, the box is not finished yet...

The rewards from these boxes are getting higher and higher. The fifth box has reached 20,000 divinity. What about the last two?

　　…I witnessed you stealing five treasure boxes in a row with my own eyes. You could hear a pin drop in the hall, and all the gangsters looked at you with disbelief. 】

　　【Amid everyone's expectant and anxious eyes, you walked to the sixth treasure box and stretched out your hand...】

　　【Theft successful! You stole a magical stone from the sixth treasure box...]

"Um?"

Mu You was stunned. As expected, the difficulty of the sixth box escalated again. He had to open it thousands of times before he succeeded for the first time.

Mu You was originally waiting to see a row of super large divine numbers, but in the end, what the **** is the magic stone? Can you still steal props?

 Muyou click to view.

　　【Magic Stone - Golden Left Hand: A magical stone passed down from ancient times by the Sparrow people. After understanding it, using your left hand to steal will greatly increase the probability of successful theft. Only available to sparrow people. 】

"Well…"

Mu You had a strange look on his face. Magic that could increase the probability of stealing was precious and valuable, especially for the Sparrow Man. It was indeed a necessity. It was reasonable to set this thing as a reward for the sixth box.

  But for him, who has a pocket watch, this thing seems to be dispensable. After all, his stealing is 100% successful. Giving him a stone is not as practical as giving him divinity.
