Good times were always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xie's Travel Ticket was about to expire. Before the Video Competition results could even come out, the month had dwindled to its final two days.

"Wei Wei, next time we meet, I won't let you off so easily!" Xiao Xie thought to himself as he watched the ground gradually shrink outside the plane window. Over these past twenty-odd days, his relationship with Wei Wei had steadily deepened, but he ultimately had not taken her first time. He knew that if he accepted Wei Wei now, he would only gain another attachment. He knew he would definitely have a chance to return to this world in the future. When he did, he would marry Wei Wei.

After boarding a flight to Japan, Xiao Xie set foot on Japanese soil—Tokyo—just a few hours later. After getting off the plane, he headed to the hotel he had booked earlier.

Once Xiao Xie had checked into the hotel, he summoned Arno as well. He sent Arno out to scout the area. Xiao Xie's target was Japan's armory, so it was necessary for Arno to plan the most suitable route.

Soon, after night fell, Arno returned. After hacking in and conducting an on-site survey, Arno mapped out the most suitable infiltration route for Xiao Xie. At eleven that night, led by Arno, Xiao Xie made his way into Japan's largest armory without any real danger.

"Recycle, recycle, recycle it all!" Looking at the countless military weapons before him, Xiao Xie began his grand theft operation. (Pah! How could this be called stealing? We were merely movers of weapons.)

After half an hour of hard work, Xiao Xie finally emptied out the entire armory. Seeing his Points rise to over five million, he grinned from ear to ear.

"Saint Thief Xiao Xie was here!" After leaving a note in the empty armory, Xiao Xie departed with Arno without anyone noticing.

After leaving the military base, Xiao Xie willed Xiao Xiao to use 950,000 Points to expand his Storage Space to one million cubic meters. Seeing that the million-cubic-meter Storage Space was completely empty, Xiao Xie naturally had to fill it up. With Arno leading the way, Xiao Xie raided—moved goods from—ten shopping malls in a row, filling the Storage Space to the brim before finally stopping in satisfaction.

Finally, led by Arno, Xiao Xie arrived at his ultimate destination: Yasukuni Shrine.

"Let's put on a grand fireworks show!" Xiao Xie looked at the building before him, a wicked smile curling across his lips. Relying on his skills, he easily slipped into the shrine. Compared to the heavily guarded military base, the security here was clearly much looser.

Xiao Xie made a round through the shrine, feeling over every load-bearing wall and support pillar inside. Then he left the shrine without anyone noticing.

"Art is an explosion!" Standing one kilometer away from the shrine, Xiao Xie shouted.

Boom! A thunderous blast rang out, and a mushroom cloud rose in the direction of the shrine. A shockwave leveled the entire shrine to the ground, leaving no survivors within. Even Xiao Xie's clothes, from a kilometer away, rustled violently in the blast wave.

"Let's go back, Arno!" Hearing the commotion and police sirens around him, Xiao Xie smiled at Arno. It seemed the people of Japan would not be getting any sleep tonight.

"Yes, Young Master!" Arno followed behind Xiao Xie expressionlessly as they unhurriedly departed.

"Baka! Who the hell did this?" At this moment, Japan's prime minister was filled with rage. He had been sleeping soundly at home last night when a massive bang jolted him awake. Then he received a call from his subordinate, whose first words were, "Prime Minister, Yasukuni Shrine has been blown away!"

When the Japanese prime minister rushed to the scene and saw that the place where Yasukuni Shrine once stood had been reduced to nothing but a huge pit, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. With something like this happening during his term in office, he could only resign and take responsibility to calm the public's fury.

Before the prime minister could even catch his breath, he received another call. The voice on the other end said, "Prime Minister, the armory was robbed last night. Among the stolen items were several hundred tanks and several hundred fighter jets."

"Baka... pfft!" After such a series of blows, the prime minister honorably fainted. He did not wake up until the following morning.

"Who did this?" The first thing the prime minister asked upon waking was who the culprit was. With Yasukuni Shrine bombed and the armory emptied during his term, he could only commit seppuku to apologize to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Prime Minister, we found a note in the armory." The secretary hurriedly handed the note to him.

"'Saint Thief Xiao Xie was here.' Baka! Do you take me for an idiot? Could one person silently transport away hundreds of tanks and hundreds of fighter jets from the armory? Is he a god?" After glancing at the note, the prime minister tore it apart in fury.

"Baka! Who was it? Who the hell is trying to take me down?" the prime minister roared. The moment he saw the note Xiao Xie had left behind, he dismissed it. If the armory had been blown up, he might have believed it was done by one person. But how could one person possibly steal so much weaponry? That note had to be a smokescreen. There were only a few people in all of Japan capable of secretly moving that much weaponry, and the only likely suspects were his political rivals.

"Bastards! Bastards! To bring me down, they even blew up Yasukuni Shrine! Fine! If I can't survive, then none of you will have it easy either!" the prime minister thought to himself. Orders were issued one after another. While he still held real power, he would retaliate against those who had harmed him. A bloody storm was about to sweep across all of Japan.

Meanwhile, the true culprit, Xiao Xie, was happily watching television! Even if Japan wanted to conceal Yasukuni Shrine's disappearance, it could not. To Japan, Yasukuni Shrine carried no less significance than the Forbidden City did to Huaxia. The bombing of Yasukuni Shrine was explosive news that spread across the world immediately.

"What an unexpected gain!" Seeing his Worship Points suddenly surge, Xiao Xie could not help but laugh joyfully. Blowing up Yasukuni Shrine had only been a spur-of-the-moment whim, yet it had unexpectedly earned him so many Worship Points.

Although people did not know who had blown up Yasukuni Shrine, that did not stop them from admiring the person bold enough to do it!

Xiao Xie had possessed only a little over 170,000 Worship Points last night, but when he woke up this morning, they had already broken through 200,000 and were still increasing nonstop.

As the situation continued to escalate, chaos had begun to emerge in Japan. However, Xiao Xie would not see any of it, because his Travel Ticket had run out. By the time Xiao Xie left, his Worship Points had already reached more than 260,000.

A flash of white light passed by. When Xiao Xie came back to his senses, he found himself back in the inn in the small town.

"This trip really brought in quite a haul!" Xiao Xie checked his gains. Before using the Travel Ticket, he had only a little over 1,000 Worship Points. Now, his Worship Points had increased to more than 263,000. His Points had risen from just over 50,000 to more than four million. On top of that, he had a one-million-cubic-meter Storage Space filled with all kinds of items. It could be said that Xiao Xie had truly made a fortune from this trip.

Xiao Xie looked over his Attribute Panel, which displayed:
