Forceful Theft

Since only Su Li and Xia Ke remained in the entire Detective Bureau, it became their first private space alone together.

Su Li sat in Secretary Wang's office chair, while Xia Ke sat on his lap. The two spoke in low voices, and for a while, the entire Detective Bureau was filled with the sour stench of romance.

It was not until an hour later, when Su Li received the Guidance Technique file from Secretary Wang, that the two finally stopped.

"It's quite similar to the Breathing Technique. It shouldn't be hard to learn!"

Su Li skimmed through the Guidance Technique and immediately understood most of it.

This complete version of the Breathing Technique still could not compare to Infinite Star Sea. Of course, it was also possible that this was still only a simplified version.

Even so, its efficiency was far higher than the Breathing Technique used by ordinary people!

"Do you understand it? Explain it to me!" Xia Ke said with a baffled look.

"Sure, but you have to get off me first. I can't explain it like this!" Su Li said with a smile.

"Annoying!"

Xia Ke's cheeks reddened slightly. After muttering something under her breath, she climbed down from Su Li.

A moment later, Xia Ke carried in a small stool from outside and, like a student, listened as Su Li began explaining.

It was noon by the time they finished—

"Are you hungry?" Su Li asked, looking at Xia Ke.

"Not hungry!"

"Oh! Then let's continue!"

"Forget it. My head is about to explode from listening! I'm not you—I can't understand it after looking at it just once!" Xia Ke looked at Su Li, her eyes carrying a trace of envy and a trace of admiration!

"Of course. Geniuses like me are extremely rare!"

"Hmph, what a narcissist!"

"My Xia Ke is a genius too. Otherwise, how could you have become a Superhuman alongside me?"

"Who's yours?"

"Obviously you..."

After the two chatted for a while longer, Su Li said, "Xia Ke, didn't you say you wanted to become stronger? Shall we cultivate?"

"Now?" Xia Ke asked reluctantly. When she was with Su Li, she became somewhat lazy and did not want to do anything.

"Of course. Only perseverance leads to improvement. Don't you agree?"

"Mm, I'll cultivate all afternoon!"

Xia Ke ultimately agreed. In truth, she also felt that the two of them could not spend all their time together just playing around; she simply found it difficult to suppress the feelings in her heart.

Now that Su Li had said so, her desire to become stronger surged up again!

Su Li and Xia Ke sat facing each other, then each sat cross-legged.

After smiling at Xia Ke, Su Li closed his eyes.

As for Xia Ke, she observed him for a while before realizing that Su Li had genuinely become immersed in cultivation.

"Hmph, what a bad guy!"

After huffing, Xia Ke closed her eyes as well.

Virtual Universe, Tianling Star.

Su Li's figure gradually solidified, appearing in a small alley.

Looking up at the bright sun overhead, Su Li's lips curled into a smile. "What lovely weather. Perfect for committing a crime!"

In fact, although Su Li had been busy dating Xia Ke these past two days, he had not forgotten that today was the opening day of Century Museum on Tianling Star.

And inside Century Museum was something he wanted!

Ten minutes later, at Century Museum.

"Sir, would you like to buy a ticket? Today is our opening day. Adults only need twenty Meter Yuan!" The ticket seller looked at Su Li with a professional smile.

"Okay, I'll take one!"

Su Li pulled two banknotes from his body and handed them over. A moment later, he received a ticket.

"Have a pleasant holiday!"

"Thank you!"

After getting his ticket, Su Li soon entered Century Museum without hindrance.

After asking several staff members, Su Li quickly found what he wanted—the dark-gold pillar named the "Pillar of Eastern Totem" by Century Museum.

Not many people were interested in this thing, so when Su Li found it, there was only a lone female guide nearby.

Of course, she was neither beautiful nor young. Otherwise, even if the pillar itself held little appeal, she should have attracted some visitors over herself!

When she saw Su Li approaching, a smile immediately appeared on the guide's face. Su Li's yellow skin made her certain that he had come specifically to observe the Pillar of Eastern Totem.

"Sir, allow me to introduce it! The object before you is the burial item of an ancient Eastern emperor—the Pillar of Eastern Totem. The material used to cast it is suspected to be an unknown meteorite. It emits a constant temperature year-round and is impervious to water and fire. It is said that those who stay beneath this Pillar of Eastern Totem for many years will become younger..."

The female guide spoke enthusiastically, completely unaware of the strange look in Su Li's eyes as he stared at the Pillar of Eastern Totem.

In fact, Su Li had not understood a word the guide was saying. First, it was all in authentic American English, which he had difficulty understanding. Second, compared with a woman who was neither beautiful nor young, the Pillar of Eastern Totem attracted him far more!

A moment later—

"Is this thing for sale?" Su Li suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

The female guide stopped in surprise.

"I said, is this thing for sale?" Su Li asked again.

"Sorry, sir, everything here is not for sale!" Although she had some doubts about Su Li's intelligence, the female guide still answered patiently.

After all, it was the museum's first day of operation, and it really was not appropriate to cause any trouble!

"Oh, what a pity!" Su Li sighed, and a translucent longsword appeared silently in his hand.

"Sir, you're welcome to come here often... huh?"

The female guide's voice abruptly stopped because she had noticed the longsword in Su Li's hand.

Although the sword was beautiful, the glinting chill along its blade told her that it was no ornament.

Moreover, someone taking out such a thing in a museum was probably not here to play around, either.

Ignoring the guide's shock, Su Li suddenly raised his hand and slashed forward.

Whoosh!

A flash of sparks flew, and the iron chain meant to keep visitors from approaching was severed into two pieces.

Su Li stepped over the chain and quickly reached the pillar.

"Up!"

Su Li wrapped both arms around the pillar and exerted a little force, pulling it out of its secured stand.

"Oh! My God!" the female guide cried out.

"Ma'am, you should move aside. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety!" Su Li said calmly, then carried the dark-gold pillar toward the exit.

Wooo—!

At that moment, a hurried and piercing alarm suddenly rang out.

Female guide: "..."

Without wasting a word, the guide turned and fled as fast as she could.

She had a feeling that something major was about to happen!
