Chapter 1677 Thief Girl



For Fang Zheng, this was just an accidental encounter on the road, so he didn't take it seriously. After taking a breath outside, Fang Zheng returned to the Chamber of Commerce and saw Ram and Rem running over with a bunch of things.

"Have you chosen everything you want to buy?"

"Yes? Master Fang Zheng, I think this one is more suitable for Miss Huihui, and this one is better for little sister Myne..."

As they talked, the two pointed at things and introduced them to Fang Zheng, who nodded repeatedly. Although the sisters had not been in the castle for a long time, they knew almost everyone in the castle... So far, they were getting along pretty well.

"Okay, since you think it's okay, then let's do it this way."

Having said that, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers and signaled the clerk to come over.

"Please pack these into different categories... Um, how much?"

"Well, that... this guest."

However, the clerk hesitated in response to Fang Zheng's question, but after a moment, he smiled.

"Actually, actually... you won the jackpot!"

As he spoke, the clerk raised his hands and clapped vigorously. Fang Zheng, Ram, and Rem looked at each other in bewilderment at the scene.

"Big prize?"

"Yes, in fact, you are the 100,000th customer since the store opened, so today you will get a 50% discount on everything you buy."

"Oh, that's interesting."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time for him to experience discount sales in another world, but why was this method so old-fashioned and felt like a scam?

"So you're saying these things are all 50% off?"

Fang Zheng pointed at the things in Ram and Rem's hands. Although they were just small items, they were not few in number because they had to give one to each person in the castle. Moreover, many of the things were also very valuable. If Ram and Rem had not seen with their own eyes that Fang Zheng had just extorted a large sum of money from Lugnica, they would not have dared to spend it so recklessly.

"Yes, yes..."

“Very good, then buy some more. It’s 50% off anyway… Ram, Rem, if you have anything else you like, you’re welcome!”

"Yes, Master Fang Zheng!"

Ignoring the pale face of the clerk next to them, Ram and Rem immediately ran to the counter with a smile and started to choose again. They had also taken a fancy to many expensive gifts before, but because they were worried that the prices were too high, they chose relatively low-priced alternatives. But now that they said that they would give a 50% discount on everything, what else could they say?

Buy, buy, buy!

From this point of view, the ghost bloodline of the two sisters is genuine.

When Ram and Rem returned to the counter with their merchandise, satisfied, the clerk next to them almost turned pale and foamed at the mouth, but he still forced himself to smile and paid for everyone - the service industry is really not easy.

"Also, there is this, please accept it..."

Just as Fang Zheng put all his things back into the inventory and was about to leave with the two sisters, the clerk respectfully presented Fang Zheng with a badge.

"What's this?"

"This is proof of being a VIP. If you hold this badge, you will receive a 50% discount when purchasing items at any Hexin Chamber of Commerce."

"Hmm? There is such a good thing?"

Fang Zheng took the badge and gave the clerk a meaningful look. Fang Zheng didn't care much about it before. After all, although it was a 50% discount, it was a one-time offer. But now this badge is different. It means that Fang Zheng has an unlimited 50% discount... For a chamber of commerce, this can be considered a loss-making deal.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Fang Zheng carefully looked at the badge in his hand and confirmed that there was no strange magic or curse attached to it, so he accepted it without hesitation. He didn't care whether the other party had any conspiracy or trickery. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity, he would be a bastard. If the other party offered it to him, even if it was a sugar-coated bullet, wouldn't it be better to just eat the sugar coating and shoot the bullet back?

Don't underestimate the planner's shamelessness.

"Then let's go eat."

After a satisfying shopping trip, Fang Zheng took Ram and Rem to eat. It was already noon, and the streets were crowded with people. The three of them strolled leisurely on the street, looking at the surrounding scenery while discussing what to eat.

"How about that?"

"I think this tastes good, sis."

“Rem, try this…”

"Master Fang Zheng, please enjoy it."

"Hmm...it tastes good, quite interesting, what is this?"

"Pig-man's meat."

"…Hmm? What the hell?"

As the three of them were walking and eating, suddenly, a petite figure rushed out from the crowd and bumped into Fang Zheng.

"ah."

"Excuse me."

Looking at the person who bumped into him, Fang Zheng took a step back.

"Are you okay?"

"It's all right."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the person in front of him looked up. It was a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with golden hair and bright red eyes. She rubbed her nose, then waved her hand with a smile.

"I'm fine, I just bumped into something, sorry, little brother."

"Oh, that's good."

Hearing the blonde girl's answer, Fang Zheng nodded.

"Then give me back the wallet you just took from me."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Ram and Rem were both stunned, and the blonde girl's expression changed slightly. Then she suddenly turned around and tried to run - but was grabbed by Fang Zheng by the collar.

"Okay, I'm not going to pursue it too much, but stealing other people's things is not good."

"Let me go, let me go! Someone, help me, someone is trying to rob me!"

According to the blonde's experience, if she shouted so loudly, people around her would definitely gather around her, giving her a chance to take advantage of her. However, what the blonde didn't expect was that even though she was shouting so loudly, the people passing by didn't seem to notice her at all, as if she didn't exist at all.

"Okay, just surrender. There's no point in playing tricks."

“Woo…”

Hearing this, the blonde girl seemed to give up struggling, and Fang Zheng loosened his hand and put her on the ground. However, at the moment when Fang Zheng loosened his hand, a green light suddenly flashed on the blonde girl's body, and then she leaped and tried to escape, but...

"Hey? Hey? Hey?!"

Looking at her body that seemed to be fixed in the air, the girl widened her eyes in surprise. She tried desperately to move her body, but it seemed as if this body was not her own and she couldn't move at all.

At this time, Ram and Rem also surrounded the girls.

"You actually wanted to steal Lord Fang Zheng's things. You are such an ignorant little thief!"

Ram stared coldly at the blonde girl, then she stretched out her hand, and turquoise wind took shape in her hand, transforming into a sharp rotating wind blade.

"Are you going to destroy her, sister?"

As Rem spoke, she took out a meteor hammer - wait, where did you hide this thing?

"Wait, wait!"

Looking at the meteor hammer that was bigger than her head, the blonde girl's expression finally changed. If this thing hit her, her head would instantly explode like a watermelon!

"I'll give it back to you, can't I just give it back to you?!"

"Okay, stop scaring her."

Seeing the blonde girl finally give in, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and soon, the forbidden time around the girl began to flow again, and the blonde girl fell to the ground. This time, she finally did not plan to escape, but moved her hands and feet, and after confirming that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the purse from her arms and threw it to Fang Zheng.

"I'll give it back to you. Now everything will be alright, right?"

"Well, he is a good boy if he is obedient."

Fang Zheng took the purse and put it back into his clothes.

"So, when you choose your target, you should also consider the person carefully. If you hit a wall, it will not end well."

"So what should we do next, Lord Fang Zheng? Should we send her to the guards?"

Ram stared at the blonde girl coldly, obviously not wanting to let her go. When she heard Ram's question, the blonde girl's expression suddenly changed.

"Hey, wait, you just said I'd just give your wallet back to you! I don't want to go to jail!"

If it were anyone else, the blonde girl would have turned around and ran without saying a word. However, after the fight just now, the blonde girl realized that she was no match for the man in front of her. If she turned around and tried to run, she might be pinned down like before, so she had no choice but to beg for mercy.

"Well... it's indeed a bit pitiful to be arrested and imprisoned at this age, but stealing should be punished after all, right."

At this point, Fang Zheng seemed to have thought of something and clapped his hands.

"You are a thief, so you should be familiar with this royal city."

"certainly!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the blonde girl proudly puffed out her almost nonexistent breasts.

"I've been everywhere here except the palace!"

"Well, then, let you be our tour guide."

"Guide...?"

Hearing this, the blonde girl was stunned for a moment.

"What is that?"

"It's a job to lead guests around the city. As you can see, we have just arrived in this royal city and are not familiar with it. Since you are a local and a thief, you should be very familiar with the situation in this city. Just take us around the city. As for the reward... How about one gold coin?"

“Woo…”

When the blonde girl first heard Fang Zheng say this, she wanted to refuse. But when she heard Fang Zheng offer a reward in the end, she immediately fell into deep thought.

"So, where do you want to go?"

"Any famous place, beautiful place, or interesting place is fine. Of course, I don't want you to take us to any secret or dangerous place. Just a tour of the city. It would be even better if you could recommend some shops that sell local food."

“That’s no problem!”

Hearing this, the blonde girl suddenly smiled and patted her chest.

"Leave it to me, bro. I'm quite familiar with this city!"

Just like that, the minor incident was resolved, and the blonde girl joined Fang Zheng and his group. She introduced herself as Firut, a child from the slums, and currently a thief.

As a thief, Firut was of course very familiar with the city. She took Fang Zheng and the others around the city and chattered about what happened in those places. Some were stories from the past, and some were recent rumors. For example, a noble got beaten up in a certain street because of jealousy... The group listened with great interest.

And just like that, Fang Zheng spent a pleasant day with Ram and Rem until the sun set.

"Master Fang Zheng, we should go back."

Ram reminded her after glancing at her pocket watch, and Firut seemed a little reluctant to hear her words.

"Hey? Are we going back? There are still many places I haven't introduced yet."

Although she was not very willing at first, Firut soon found that she seemed to like this kind of life. After all, as a thief, she didn't have many friends in the slums, and she only depended on her grandfather. On weekdays, she couldn't talk to others, but today, she talked freely... Naturally, she didn't want to stop here.

"Well, it's almost time, so let's stop here and talk again next time when we have time."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng took out a gold coin and put it in Firut's hand, while Firut looked at the gold coin in his hand with a complicated expression.

"Brother...Is this really okay?"

"Hmm? Any questions?"

"Because, I just walked around with you guys and chatted for a while, and you gave me a gold coin for that? To be honest, I think a silver coin is too much."

"The value varies from person to person. Of course, since I said it was a gold coin, then it is a gold coin."

Having said that, Fang Zheng reached out and patted Firut's head.

"I think you'd better stop being a thief. How about being a tour guide? Today, I think you have a talent for this."

"Can you really make money just by taking people around like this?"

Firut was still a little confused, but Fang Zheng nodded.

"Of course, maybe to you, this place is no different from your own backyard. But it's different for outsiders like us. You see, in such a big city, if there is no one to lead the way, people who come here for the first time will definitely get lost."

"That's true, but if you don't know the way, you can ask the guards."

"The guards will only point you in the direction, but won't take you there. Wouldn't it be terrible if they say something wrong or remember something wrong?"

“That’s true…”

Firut nodded. In fact, she usually got away with the business of outsiders, because outsiders were stupid and didn't know the way, so they didn't know where to chase after Firut. In the past, Firut just thought these people were stupid, but now she didn't expect there was a business opportunity here.

"Of course, reputation is also important, especially for someone like you. If a customer knows you are a thief, he will be more or less worried that you will lead him into trouble. So it may be a little difficult to gain the trust of customers in the early stage, but if you can stick to it, you should have a stable income. After all, this is better than being a thief."

"Wow... Yeah... what you said makes sense..."

Firut actually didn't want to be a thief. There was nothing good about this profession. You would be chased, beaten, and caught. But as a child from the slums, she couldn't find a suitable job. But Fang Zheng's proposal made her eyes light up. It didn't take much effort to lead people around the city. It was also very simple for Firut, and she could make money. More importantly, it wouldn't be as troublesome as being a thief. If she could really make a lot of money...

"Okay, I'll try!"

Thinking of this, Firut clenched the gold coins in his hand and nodded vigorously at Fang Zheng.

"Thank you, bro."

"Well, but my suggestion is that if you want to be a tour guide, you'd better change into clean clothes and tidy yourself up."

"Hey? Why?!"

"Because you don't look like a serious businessman right now."

Fang Zheng pointed at Felt's extremely revealing outfit.

"Any honest person wouldn't dare to agree to your request. In short, you have to make the other person feel at ease before you can communicate."

"Yeah, okay."

Firut frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, turned around and left. At the same time, he turned around and waved to Fang Zheng and the others.

"Then see you next time, little brother!"

Looking at Firut's disappearing back, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and then looked at Ram and Rem beside him.

"Okay, let's go back too."
