The Grief and Indignation of Lang Li Bai Tiao

Lang Li Bai Tiao arrived at the most famous tavern in Bator City, "Caroline's Home," all the players looked at him and laughed, some shouting, "Lang Li Bai Tiao, you've been killed again!"

The Lang Li Bai Tiao didn't answer, but said to the counter, "Warm two beers and a Grilled Sausage."

As he spoke, he laid out nine copper coins.

The food and drinks sold at the "Caroline's Home" tavern are a great way for players to replenish their stamina, as certified by many professional players.

The players then deliberately shouted loudly, "You must have stolen someone else's stuff again!"

Lang Li Bai Tiao opened its eyes wide and said, "How can you slander someone's innocence like this..."

"What innocence? I saw you steal the magic ring from the [Royal Authority] guild in the mine the day before yesterday, using the Mage Hand. You were cornered at the Respawn Point and killed seven or eight times."

Lang Li Bai Tiao flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, as he argued, "Stealing equipment doesn't count as stealing... stealing equipment!..."

"Can the actions of Rogue be considered stealing?"

Then came a string of incomprehensible phrases, such as "Mage Hand Trickery," "Trickster Thief's profession," and "Thieves' Tools Proficiency," which made everyone burst into laughter.

The tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Suddenly, Steamed Bun, dressed in a Peace Officer uniform, swaggered into the store, his longsword, engraved with exquisite emblems, making many players envious.

The Lang Li Bai Tiao was immediately excited, but didn't know what to say, so it just said, "Ah! Steamed Bun."

"—You've arrived?"

During the eighteen days that Steamed Bun worked as a laborer, Lang Li Bai Tiao, who was also stealing chickens and dogs in the mine, had a lot of contact with Steamed Bun. As a result, he had a lot to say, which he wanted to say in a string: mine, Hobgoblin, Ogre, blocking the door, carrying bricks...

But he always felt like something was blocking him, swirling in his mind but unable to escape his lips.

Now that Steamed Bun has made a fortune, he can probably get some Gold Coin too, Lang Li Bai Tiao thought.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Lang!"

How have you been lately?

Steamed Bun was also very happy to see him, took off his helmet, and greeted him warmly.

Lang Li Bai Tiao shook his head with great indignation and sighed, "Alas, it's not good at all. The Kingship Guild is really too much. Everything I worked so hard to earn with my own hands has been stolen by them."

Steamed Bun patted his chest with great pride. "What did they steal from you? I'll get it back for you!"

Robbery is a serious crime!

"Our duty as sheriffs is to punish all criminals, whether it's robbery or theft!"

When talking about "theft," Steamed Bun deliberately emphasized the word "steal."

Lang Li Bai Tiao shivered. He knew that a pitiful, thick barrier had already separated them.

"No, it's nothing, I've already got it back."

The Lang Li Bai Tiao gave a vague answer.

Steamed Bun pulled Lang Li Bai Tiao over and said readily, "It's alright, Brother Lang, just tell me what's wronged you!"

"I, Steamed Bun, will definitely stand up for you!"

The fragile body of the Lang Li Bai Tiao, Trickster Thief, was no match for the Fighter, Steamed Bun.

The Lang Li Bai Tiao was on the verge of tears. "You don't need to do anything, Steamed Bun."

"This little bit is nothing."

But some bystanders, enjoying the spectacle, exclaimed, "That Lang Chu stole something again, and now he's being chased and beaten up, hahaha!"

"That's right, that's right."

"They even steal things belonging to Royal Authority, tsk tsk."

"Too few Lang Chu have died."

The Lang Li Bai Tiao barely managed to break free, opened its eyes wide again to look at the players, and loudly protested, "Why do you always slander people without any basis..."

"Heh, there are videos on the forum, go find them yourself!" a player who had been robbed by "Lang Li Bai Tiao" said through gritted teeth.

Are they telling the truth?

"And... did you steal that Healing Potion from the mine earlier?"

A sinister smile appeared on Steamed Bun's face.

Lang Li Bai Tiao suddenly recalled how he had secretly stolen Steamed Bun and a bottle of medicine when he was working in the mine years ago. He never expected that this guy would remember it until now! Lang Li Bai Tiao sensed something was wrong and seized the opportunity to escape.

"No..."

"Steamed Bun, what are you doing?"

"Brother Lang, I'm sorry, I'm just in a position where I have no choice but to do what I'm told."

Steamed Bun spoke with a heavy tone, but his hands never stopped moving.

He pulled the Lang Li Bai Tiao over again and handcuffed the carefully prepared Silver Bracelet to his wrist.

"Sir, you are suspected of theft, and I am ordered to arrest you!"

The reward information was refreshed on the Steamed Bun's panel.

[You apprehended a lawbreaker and gained an additional Faction Contribution of 150 points] "Hehe, it came so easily."

The Steamed Bun immediately beamed with joy.

Lang Li Bai Tiao was somewhat stunned. A look of joy and sorrow appeared on his face. He moved his lips but did not make a sound.

His face finally contorted with grief and indignation, and he clearly cried out, "Steamed Bun, you son of a bitch..."

But his mouth was immediately stuffed with a towel.

"Citizens, please do not attempt to provoke a sheriff," Steamed Bun said with practiced ease.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The tavern was filled with a cheerful atmosphere once again.

That night, Lang Li Bai Tiao leaned against the cold wall of the Bator City prison, idly browsing the Player Forum. He still had three days left in prison before he could be released.

Then, he discovered a hotly debated post on the forum.

"Steamed Bun: Justice Arrests Lang Chu [Video]"

The comments below were full of joy. "This is the first time I've ever liked Steamed Bun this much."

"Support Steamed Bun!"

There are still plenty of good Steamed Bun in the world!

"Who's smiling at you? Just take him away!"

Lang Li Bai Tiao scrolled through the comments section, his face gradually turning red, gritting his teeth. "Hmph, those wretched Steamed Bun..."

Lang Li Bai Tiao, I came across a guide post by Singo, which introduced the hometown of the Tiefling, a city sealed with blood, tears and sins - North Wind Fortress.

"I, the Lang Li Bai Tiao, am a cunning hero of this chaotic world. How could I be confined to this tiny Bator City?"

He stared at the cold, hard prison bars, and suddenly made a decision in his heart.

The next day, the prison guards found that the cell door had been pried open and the cell was empty, with only a line of small characters left behind. "A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters Feng Yun."

The characters are written crookedly, but they still have a lot of spirit.

However, the guards didn't understand it and simply wiped it away as if it were a stain.

A new hot post has appeared on the Player Forum: "How could the tiny Bator City be a prison for me Lang Li Bai Tiao! Lang Ge's adventures in North Wind Fortress!"

"Lang Chu left the main city?"

"Awesome, Brother Lang!"

"It's alright. With that Lang Chu's nature, he'll be back to life soon."

"Good news, the crime rate in Bator City has dropped significantly since the Lang Chu left."

"Everyone, disperse. We'll ambush him at the Respawn Point later."

While the players were discussing this, Lang Li Bai Tiao was running frantically along the edge of Storm Highlands, followed by several ugly Hill Giant.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

The Lang Li Bai Tiao howled as he Rogue's Dash, his legs almost leaving a blur.
