Chapter 4 The "thief" in "The God of Thieves" can also be the "thief" in "The Robber."
Yu Xunge wandered around the undead capital city again, accepting quests whenever she saw them, stealing from NPCs whenever she saw them, and not even letting the patrolling guards go. Her maximum stealing distance was 1 meter, so basically she could steal from anything she could get close to, even the beggar in the corner. She would even control her game character to steal from him.
What if he's some reclusive master?!
I shopped from 6 pm to 7 pm.
With more than two hours left before the server shut down, Yu Xunge stopped. In addition to 1 point of physique, she now had a level 40 purple bow and arrow.
She stole it from the hotel owner.
Without hesitation, Yu Xunge went straight to the weapon shop and sold it for a pittance.
The weapon shop owner clearly recognized the bow and kept emphasizing the risks he would have to take in buying it in the pop-up dialog box. Yu Xunge stubbornly refused to budge, and dialog boxes kept popping up above the little figure's head on the other side. Yu Xunge was no novice; even the most common level 20 purple weapon cost 500 gold, and this was a level 40 purple item that she had never even seen before.
She dropped her price from 3000 gold to 1000, and after that, no matter how many times the trade window popped up, the price she entered was always 1000 gold.
This was truly her bottom line. She knew that anyone who bought this kind of thing would be in trouble, and it was good enough that someone would buy it.
Five minutes had passed, and just as Yu Xunge was thinking that time was precious and was about to back down, the transaction was completed.
Yu Xunge immediately controlled the little figure back to the alchemy mentor, spent 100 gold coins to upgrade her alchemy to intermediate level, and then clicked to learn all the recipes she could, which cost her another 200 gold coins.
Afterwards, Yu Xunge ran through a small part of the city to reach the goblin living area, where he found a goblin engineer who was only knee-high to him and learned [Engineering].
This was the result of Yu Xunge's careful consideration. Whether it was jewelry making, leatherworking, or sewing, these were all professions for making equipment. As long as there were materials, equipment could be made. However, her time was precious, and the equipment that could be made at the initial stage of these professions had extremely limited practicality. She didn't need it before the game invasion, and it would soon be obsolete after the game invasion.
However, engineering has a great use for her now; basic engineering skills are enough to make guns, bullets, and explosives.
More importantly, she knew where to get the blueprints for the [Repair Robot], but the prerequisite for learning those blueprints was reaching an advanced level in Engineering.
She quickly paid to unlock the [Engineering] skill, then learned all the available recipes, and bought 10 sets of materials for making guns, 500 sets of materials for making bullets, and 100 sets of materials for making explosives.
Using the goblin's crafting table, they produced 10 guns, 5,000 bullets, and 100 packs of inferior explosives, thus advancing their engineering skills to intermediate level.
After clicking to upgrade, Yu Xunge learned all the blueprints she could this time.
Finally, with only three hundred gold coins left, he returned to the herbalist shop, exchanged them all for herbs, and filled all the remaining slots in his backpack.
It was already 8:45.
Not far away, Yu Xunhuan was still lying on the ground snoring. Outside the door, the voices of Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo could be heard. Yu Xunge walked to the bathroom in Yu Xunhuan's room, turned on the tap, pretended to be taking a shower, and then sat back down on the bed.
Control the little figure to walk to the center of the City of the Dead, to where the city lord is.
Unlike in times of peace, the alien races had been waging war and plundering for years, and they ruled by the principle of strength above all else. Although she did not know exactly how many cities the alien races had or how their social classes were divided, she knew that becoming the lord of a city was absolutely based on strength, and there would be no plot like in the novels where an incompetent nobleman rose to power.
Even in her world, where everything was reshuffled after the game's invasion, those who could become city lords were all from the top 100. Even if the powerful and wealthy had a greater advantage in concentrating resources to cultivate strong individuals, in the end, it was still the strongest who had the final say. At most, the city lords only needed to listen to the voices of these forces, but power was always in the hands of the strongest.
8:52
Yu Xunge's game character was stopped by soldiers outside the luxurious palace.
A dialog box popped up, and Yu Xunge typed: "There's a problem with the anchor point."
She discovered while selling purple weapons that the game automatically translated the languages of her and the other undead.
The soldiers kept moving, but the commotion quickly attracted the attention of higher-level undead soldiers. After she typed that sentence again, she was led into the palace this time.
The undead lord, clad in black armor, sat on the throne at the very top of the palace.
A dialog box popped up asking, "You said there's a problem with the anchor point?"
9:13
Yu Xunge typed in the chat box: "Yes, I'm willing to risk my life to guarantee that the information I received is absolutely accurate, but I need a reward."
"presumptuous!"
Yu Xunge remained silent, waiting quietly. Perhaps in the eyes of those in power, she was already a dead person. Dead people always receive leniency. Soon, the sergeant came over and gave her something.
Upon opening it, I found 100 gold coins.
Tsk! Yu Xunge wanted equipment, but that was just something she could casually take advantage of; she wasn't picky.
9:17
She typed in the chat box: "This is confidential. I'm only willing to tell the city lord."
She tried to control the little figure to get close to the city lord. To the level 99 city lord, she, at level 1, was like an ant, and for a moment no one stopped her.
9:20x
The little figure stood still beside the Lord of the Undead City.
9:21
Click to use the phrase "the 'thief' in 'the god of thieves' can also mean the 'thief' in 'robber'."
[In the name of the God of Thieves, you attempt to steal the talent of Orlov d. Flesh and Blood, the Lord of Ghost City of the Undead Clan]
[Theft successful—Target's divine talent level detected is too high—Theft interrupted!]
You are dead.
Immediately afterwards, the phone screen went completely unresponsive, as if it had run out of power and shut down automatically.
She looked up at the clock on the wall; it was 9:22, the second hand had just passed 12.
A full 7 hours.
The phone made a cracking sound, first the screen, then the internal parts, and finally it spontaneously combusted. She hurriedly threw it to the ground, and in just a few seconds, the phone turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted away in the air, as if it had never existed.
Immediately afterwards, a backpack, a tattered cloth bag, and a money bag printed with gold coins appeared on the ground.
In Yu Xunge's mind, a character panel that she was extremely familiar with appeared.
[Character] Kagaya En (Level 0, 0.001%)

The dazzling SS-level talent made Yu Xunge's eyes well up with tears. Even though it was incomplete, she could see that three of the five skills under that talent were glowing, and only two were dark gray. It was an SS-level talent! Even if she only stole one of them, she wouldn't lose out. Referring to the talents of the S-level Thief God, none of them were useless.
Looking at Yu Xunhuan, who was still fast asleep not far away, she just wanted to burst out laughing.
She stuffed two backpacks inside her clothes, with the money bag taking up one compartment. When she focused, she could sense how many coins were inside the money bag.
She picked up Yu Xunhuan's phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and after confirming that the game was indeed not on his phone, she moved him to the bed, covered him with the blanket as she used to do, and then left the room.
Downstairs, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo were making breakfast. Yu Xunge stood by the stairs and listened quietly for a while. It was nothing more than Yi Qiuguo blaming Yu Qingshan for agreeing to let Yu Xunhuan buy a villa for Yu Xunge and putting the villa in Yu Xunge's name. Then Yu Qingshan gave a soft-spoken analysis.
If you have a long-term vision, Yu Xunge can make a lot of money. A villa only costs 30 million, and Yu Xunge has brought home at least 70 million over the years...
Yu Xunge listened quietly until the two changed the subject, then she returned to her room expressionlessly.
Only then did she examine her own talents.
However, before she could examine the new divinely bestowed talent [Immortality] closely, she sensed something was wrong.
[Skill 2] The Thief God's Thief, which can also be interpreted as a robber's thief: I'm sorry, I stole your house. I apologize. Using the name of the Thief God, this skill allows the Thief God to steal the opponent's talent. This skill can only be used once in their lifetime.
The second skill under 【Thief God】 is still lit up.
In her past life, she had possessed various skills or items with cooldowns. During the cooldown period, any skill or item would be grayed out and unusable. If a one-time use item could not be used again, it would turn light gray, meaning it had become trash.
But why is skill 3 still lit up?
"Can only be used once in a lifetime"?
Does the death of her game character mean her life is over?!
so?
so!
So this means she can use such an overpowered and outrageous talent one more time?!
Yu Xunge closed her eyes and took deep breaths, but she couldn't calm down at all. She had never been so grateful for her decision back then!
As expected of an S-class talent thief!
She went to the freezer by her bedside, grabbed a bottle of ice water, and gulped it down. Only after she had completely calmed down did she activate the new divinely bestowed talent, [Immortality].
