Background

Qin Lele was a Foreign Languages School student who awakened as a Thief while still fifteen. She grew up with only her frequently absent mother, Ms. Fang, and was raised alongside her cousin Zhang Yingluo. Zhang Yingluo repeatedly warned her to stay inconspicuous after awakening, but Qin Lele's impulsiveness and fascination with handsome people made secrecy difficult for her. 6 48 145

Before meeting Xu Nan, she trained her Theft and Burglary skills by stealing from Grandpa Zhong, a lonely retiree who welcomed her nighttime visits for companionship. Her early Thief build was poorly optimized for conventional rogue work: she invested heavily in Charm and lacked fundamentals such as lockpicking, leading Zhang Yingluo to describe her early Ace Spy route as effectively disabled. 4 19

Her first encounter with Xu Nan began when she asked him to let her steal from him for skill proficiency. Their relationship developed through repeated mischief, joint Dungeon exploration, and increasingly dangerous missions. Although she often exploited Xu Nan's patience, she consistently aided him when it mattered, including helping complete his advancement task and sharing intelligence while captive. 4 25 120 351

Appearance

Qin Lele is a petite, youthful girl described as beautiful, pure-looking, and lively. Her large, sparkling eyes are among her most noticeable features. 4 48

• Possesses an intentionally Charm-focused build and considers becoming more beautiful a meaningful form of progression. 19 134
• Her hair was temporarily forced into a spiky, lightning-marked style by the Pink Book's curse. 233
• Uses disguises and masks effectively, including posing as an unremarkable maid in Evelyn's residence. 424

Personality

Qin Lele is clever, shamelessly direct, and habitually mischievous. She treats theft, embarrassing pranks, and public spectacle as natural problem-solving tools; however, her apparent carelessness often conceals sharp observation and useful improvisation. She can assess people's motives quickly, gather intelligence under pressure, and exploit opportunities that others overlook. 4 24 211

She is strongly motivated by the thrill of obtaining valuables rather than merely possessing wealth. McKen's unlimited riches initially failed to tempt her because effortless wealth would remove the excitement of opening and earning treasure chests. 245

Despite her greed and opportunism, Qin Lele is loyal to people she considers her own. She stayed behind to protect her mother during the Blood Worship Cultist attack, warned the ThousandRadiance Society, and continued gathering intelligence despite the danger. Her captivity in the God of Day Palace also made her more cautious and mature; she learned when survival required patience rather than recklessness. 181 362

Abilities & Skills

Theft and Stealing Technique

Qin Lele's foundational skill is Theft. Her early use of it was unreliable and prone to stealing unintended objects, but extensive practice eventually made it a dangerous long-range combat and infiltration tool. 5 454

• Can pickpocket targets without immediate detection and steal objects from Xu Nan even while he is guarded. 5 24
• May produce accidental or inappropriate theft results when training. 5 36
• Used the Shadow Catcher Gloves to remotely steal scales, eggs, equipment, and ultimately a bone fragment from the Multi-Headed Abomination Serpent. 454
• Can use theft to gather intelligence, plant notes, and remove evidence while disguised. 211 424

Wall Running and Mobility

Her 20 Agility unlocked Wall Running, allowing her to sprint directly up vertical surfaces. 5

• Uses her mobility for rapid escape, scouting, and rooftop-style infiltration. 5 141
• Her low Constitution leaves her more vulnerable to harsh conditions; she fell ill after prolonged exposure to Snowfield's cold. 155

Flying Thief and Shadow Realm Access

Qin Lele advanced to Flying Thief after signing a contract with Viscount Frandy of the Shadow Realm. The contract provided major mobility benefits but also made her Frandy's envoy and placed her under his influence. 141

• Can enter and leave the Shadow Realm, giving her exceptional access to distant locations and covert routes. 141 396
• Obtained rune stones enabling Shadow Realm travel and long-term disguise as a Shadow Creature. 144
• Later used Frandy's recommendation letter to infiltrate the Ninth Manor and accept its assignments. 424

Qin Lele possesses Temple Raider abilities through a powerful Mask Emblem obtained from a treasure chest. The profession specializes in temple exploration, Divine Art countermeasures, and handling ancient religious sites. 188 220

• Led ThousandRadiance Society teams through a newly discovered temple's difficult front hall without damaging its relics. 220
• Is the only known Temple Raider in the Jiangdong Three Provinces and one of fewer than six registered nationally. 220
• Benefits from heightened effectiveness against Divine Arts and in temple excavation. 457

Universal Gravitation

After raising her Charm to 20, Qin Lele awakened the Extraordinary Charm specialty Universal Gravitation. 224

• Gives her extraordinary accuracy with ranged weapons despite not changing into a Sharpshooter. 224
• Used the specialty to pick off Birdmen in the Great Secret Realm. 224
• Its charm effect can influence nearby creatures, including the Gnolls and Red Dragon near her divine altar. 525

Divine Authority and Gambling

As the God of Gambling, Qin Lele possesses a weak but genuine divine office derived from the overlap of Life, Severe Winter, and Treasure Chests. She selected Gambling as her practical authority. 470

• Uses altars connected through McKen's Celestial-Human Passage to communicate with followers. 525
• Conducts lottery drawings and distributes Gambling Treasure Boxes. 524
• Can grant the Good Luck Angel blessing; Xu Nan became her sole Rank 1 angel, receiving increased chances of good fortune in daily life and battle. 470 477
• Her divine altar channels benefits through McKen, who receives a share of its returns. 525

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Fruit knife — Her early, frequently brandished weapon. 5

• Thunder Lizard Leather Armor — High-quality Rogue equipment provided by Xu Nan. 36
• Shadow Realm rune stones — Includes Tough Stone Skin, Shadow Strike, Mysterious Curse, and Toad Transformation. 144

• Zhang Yingluo — Her cousin and early guardian. Zhang Yingluo repeatedly tries to restrain Qin Lele's reckless behavior and originally planned her Ace Spy development route. 6 19
• Ms. Fang — Her mother. Their relationship is strained by Ms. Fang's frequent absences and fixation on finding Qin Lele a wealthy boyfriend, though Qin Lele still protected her during the West Eden Ancient City attack. 48 181
• Grandpa Zhong — A lonely retiree whose home Qin Lele used for Burglary training; he welcomed her visits because they eased his isolation. 4
• McKen — The Treasure Chest God who chose her for her unusually pure soul, made her his Chosen One, and supported her ascent to godhood. 245 466
• Fernando — The God of Day who captured her, forced her to transcribe the Ice Throne Prophecy, and attempted to test or recruit her. She escaped his palace through a Shadow Realm rift. 351 362 370
• Blood Orange — One of the Shadow Realm Nine Colors. She recruited Qin Lele as a prospective disciple after testing her loyalty to McKen and negotiating payment for a confidential task. 430

Trivia

• Qin Lele initially had notably poor loot luck compared with Xu Nan, receiving a spellbook while he acquired a valuable mithril dagger; later, treasure chests became one of the defining sources of her power. 19 188
• She initially refused McKen's wealth because she preferred the excitement of acquiring treasure over simply having it. 245
• Her early tendency to invest Rogue skill points into Charm was so extreme that she could not pick magical locks despite being a Thief. 19
