The man in silver long coat and trousers smiled, found an inconspicuous place to sit down, and used the cover of the potted plants around him to communicate in a low voice with the barrage.
"Of course I won't take anything carelessly. After all, everything here belongs to someone. But if I want to take some big things back, there are ways..."
[Host! Look at the grid behind you! That thing on there is called a sculpture. Something this delicate and small is incredibly expensive!]
[I saw it at an auction last time. I think it sold for... 5 billion?]
[You're kidding, right?! Five billion?! That's enough for me to live happily for several lifetimes!]
There was a lot of discussion in the barrage, but the anchor had long disappeared.
There are only "5 billion" left in his world.
A few words circled in his mind for a long time before he came back to his senses. He glanced at the sculpture behind him that was only half the size of his palm and swallowed.
There was a sound of footsteps.
He turned around and watched the waiter bring the noodles.
"Sir, the pork rib noodles you ordered are ready!"
He smiled, picked up his chopsticks and started eating noodles, but his mind was already wandering elsewhere.
After eating, he put the silver on the table and said, "Boss, I put the silver on the table!" Then he hurried out.
The shopkeeper nodded and asked the waiter to go and collect the silver.
The next second, the waiter screamed.
"Shopkeeper! That guy actually stole the sculpture from the store!"
The man in silver clothes had already walked out of the store.
Hearing the waiter's words, he ran away as fast as the wind.
The shopkeeper and the waiter were anxious and angry, and they followed closely behind: "Catch him! Catch that little thief!"
A passing patrol saw this and quickly subdued the man in silver clothes.
The shopkeeper took the sculpture back from the patrolling guard and glared at the man. "How shameless! You even stole the decorations I put on the shelf!"
When the people around heard this, they started talking about it.
The man in silver clothes lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
At first, he hadn't wanted to steal anything, but after hearing about five billion, he couldn't help but feel tempted. After all, no matter how valuable other things were, they would only be worth a few thousand, or even tens of thousands at most, not hundreds of millions! How could he not be tempted?!
When he was thrown into the dungeon, he lowered his head and remained silent.
In the government office not far away, several people were talking in low voices.
"I thought I'd come up with some solution, but I didn't expect this guy to just steal things himself!"
"Lock him up for a few days first. Then we can find a way to deal with the black magic ball behind him, and then we won't have to worry about him anymore!"
"Do we want... this person?" One of them made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The top officer shook his head and said, "No! If we kill him, we'll become enemies! It will be difficult to communicate with people from other worlds in the future!"
