Chapter 601 Make money, not shabby

Mu You temporarily gave up the idea of ​​​​retrospecting and planned to see what the crow man wanted to do first.

[You look at the arakkoa in confusion, indicating that you don’t know what it means. 】

["You must be the new one here recently, right? I've seen all the bandits on this mountain, but this is the first time I've met you." The crow-man looked at you suspiciously. 】

[You nodded, admitting that you did just come yesterday. 】

["Then you used to work on that hilltop? Who was your master? Didn't he teach you the rules of being a bandit?" the Yaren asked with a frown. 】

[You shake your head to express that you have no master and no Shantou. You have always been a loner and wandered 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. However, 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?" asked the Crow Man. 】

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

["Follow me." The crow-man looked around warily. There were so many people there. He waved to you and led you to an uninhabited corner outside the village. 】

[The arakkoa beckons you to come closer, whispering in a gentle and persuasive voice: "New bandits must first report to the local arakkoa clan leader. If they give permission, you can steal here."]

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

["No! And we must strictly abide by the principles of 'don't steal from locals' and 'don't steal anti-theft bags'."]

[You look 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 [-]% and [-]%.”]

["Why only [-]%?" you asked. 】

["[-]% belong to other people! It depends on the face of the local clan leader!" said the Crow Man. 】

"..." Mu You finally understood why the crow 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 someone else take the bulk of it, you have to look at the other person's face... Aren't you aggrieved as gangsters? 】

["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 earn their money openly? 】

["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 bandits. After thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Forget it, come with me..."]

["Where to go?" you asked. 】

["Take you to see our boss."]

"And the boss?" Mu You was surprised. He thought that these thieves were all self-employed and 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 Crow Man out of the village, pass through several cable suspension bridges, and finally reach the top of the 13th mountain. 】

[You stopped in front of an ordinary Yao 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 Crow Man and jump into the cave. After passing through a dark corridor, 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 tell 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 arakkoa people did not stop them, but they still stared at you with vigilant eyes. It seemed that if you made any unnecessary moves, they would immediately rise up and capture you. 】

[...After a moment, a strange Crow Man 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. 】

[In front of the hall, a tall one-eyed Crow Man sits on a stone throne. The bandit who brought you here stands respectfully behind the Throne Crow Man. 】

[The Crow Man on the throne looked at you and laughed out loud: "Haha, I thought it was some 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 Yaos must all be bandits, and they were much more numerous than he expected, at least 80 of them. They gave him a scare as soon as they met, with the implication that they were forcing him to spend money to save his life.

But Mu You didn't care about this. It was impossible to pay money. Anyway, the worst he could do was die once, but it wasn't like he couldn'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 going back and controlling 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.

[In the face of the murderous intent of everyone present, you acted neither humble nor arrogant, and your calm and calm 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: "...I watched him do it with my own eyes. When the vendors were 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 bandit leader suddenly waved to the side: "Take out the box."] [After hearing this, several bandits on the side immediately took out seven boxes of different sizes and placed them on the ground in order according to size. Get out of the way. 】

[You look at these boxes and find that they all seem to be living creatures. Tongues and fangs can be faintly seen 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 [-] 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 participate in this test and steal every box, I will forget about today's events and help you settle the case you are currently involved in."]

"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 gangsters throws out the game invitation with a sinister smile, and the other gangsters around you also look at you with sneers, as if they are 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 are highly skilled in stealing will 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 watchful eyes of all the gangsters, you walk 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 could steal hundreds of points from him. Mu You had no doubt that the subsequent boxes could steal all his savings at once.

No wonder these gangsters 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 o'clock was a bit too stingy.

Mu You then went back and tried a few more times, but the divinity he stole always hovered in single digits, and the most he got was only 10 points.

Mu You decisively stopped and headed to the next box.

[Everyone was not surprised to see you successfully steal the first box. The first box is the simplest test. Bandits who are new to theft can almost succeed in the first try. 】

[You came to the second box and launched a theft on the bigger box in front of you...]

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

"Backtracking..."

[Theft failed...]

"Backtracking..."

……

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

There was obviously a lot more divinity in the second box, but compared to the cost of failure, it was 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.

Mu You then followed the same pattern and stole all the way from the small box to the big box.

[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 3000 points, and the amount in the fifth box soared to more than [-] 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 [-]!
Moreover, the box is not finished opening yet...

The rewards of these boxes are getting higher and higher. The fifth box has reached [-] 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. 】

[Under the expectant and anxious eyes of everyone, you walked to the sixth treasure box and stretched out your hand...]

[Theft successful! You stole a magic stone from the sixth treasure box...]

"Ok?"

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 expecting to see a row of super large divine numbers, but in the end, what the hell is the magic stone? Can you still steal props?

Muyou click to view.

[Magical Stone - Golden Left Hand: The 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. 】

"Uh……"

Mu You had a strange look on his face. Magic that could increase the probability of stealing was precious, 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 theft is 100% successful. Giving him a stone is not as practical as giving him divinity.
