Hidden Cultivation Route-Sleight of Hand Technique

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking suddenly rang out.

Ye Yu, who was in the Divine Domain, sensed the commotion and instantly withdrew.

His figure reappeared in the room.

"Come in!"

As soon as he spoke, the door swung open.

Xiao Gui appeared in the doorway, his face expressionless.

"I've already become a One-star Demigod."

"Wodema devoured Zhang Dongyang's Divine Spark. His talent is no worse than mine."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he'll definitely advance to One-star Demigod before the Divine War."

"Be careful. Don't die!"

"If you die, I'll be very disappointed!"

Before Ye Yu could react, Xiao Gui had already delivered his warning, pivoted, and left.

Seeing Xiao Gui acting so haughty and coy, Ye Yu couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"Why is Xiao Gui getting weirder and weirder?"

On Awakening Day, Xiao Gui had seemed pretty normal.

He'd been full of confidence, beaming with pride—the way a young man who'd just made a name for himself ought to be.

But only a few days had passed, and Xiao Gui was already getting more and more... gay.

If Ye Yu and the other New Gods hadn't grown up together since childhood, they might really have thought Xiao Gui was gay.

Ye Yu shook his head and turned his attention to what Xiao Gui had just said.

"One-star Demigod?"

"He really is one of the top three in talent. That advancement speed is impressive!"

Ye Yu wasn't surprised that Xiao Gui had advanced.

After all, he was a genius whose initial Divine Domain covered 1,000 square kilometers!

And on top of that, he had the A+ Flood Dragon People race.

Advancing to One-star Demigod in four or five days was perfectly normal.

Likewise, Ye Yu didn't think Wodema would get stuck at this stage.

"Too bad I'm already a Three-star Demigod!"

Ye Yu shook his head, put Xiao Gui's news out of his mind, and stopped paying attention to it.

So what if he was a One-star Demigod?

So what if he was a super genius?

He'd still get completely crushed in front of Ye Yu, the Hacker!

"It's getting late. I should get some rest."

After thinking it over, Ye Yu didn't return to the Divine Domain. Instead, he decided to rest.

Immortal Path was already running smoothly, so there was no need for him to keep an eye on it every moment.

Besides, his Divine Sense clone was still inside Immortal Path. He could learn what was happening in his Divine Domain at any time.

Inside Immortal Path.

There were plenty of players who stayed up late.

Kaitou Kid was among the latest batch of players to enter Immortal Path.

After entering the game, Kaitou Kid was indeed stunned by its 100% realism.

It took him quite a while to gradually regain his composure.

However, unlike most players, Kaitou Kid didn't rush out to hunt monsters.

Instead, he carefully observed the players of all kinds gathered in the plaza.

It was a professional habit.

In the real world, Kaitou Kid had once been a master thief.

He was the top-ranked legendary thief in the Thief Alliance.

Of course, Kaitou Kid had later turned over a new leaf and quit the trade.

But for some reason, although he hadn't made a move in a long time, Kaitou Kid suddenly felt an itch to try his hand again.

As a legendary thief in the Thief Alliance, Kaitou Kid wasn't actually a criminal.

They never stole from ordinary people.

Instead, they targeted one supposedly world-class security system after another!

Ever since Kaitou Kid began his career, his failure rate had been 0%!

That showed what a terrifying figure he was.

Now, inside Immortal Path, Kaitou Kid felt his heart beginning to run wild.

"It's just a game. It shouldn't be illegal, right?"

"Maybe I should... give it a try?"

Kaitou Kid muttered to himself.

The next moment, his gaze instantly locked onto a player!

"That's the one!"

"Ma Jiaoteng!"

Thinking this, Kaitou Kid approached Ma Jiaoteng without drawing attention to himself.

Ma Jiaoteng had just entered Immortal Path and been beaten up by the players. He felt deeply aggrieved.

Fortunately, some of the senior executives at Penguin Company had later received testing slots as well and entered the game.

With these executives protecting him, Ma Jiaoteng's safety was assured.

At that moment, in the plaza.

Ma Jiaoteng had his eye on a piece of equipment.

"100,000! I'll pay you 100,000 Yanhuang Coins for that Bao Guo Dao Yi!"

"That's a good price. It's not like Bao Guo Dao Yi is some high-level piece of equipment!"

"Say the word. If you're willing, I'll have someone transfer the money right away!"

Ma Jiaoteng looked at Cannot Eat Peach, who was selling goods at a stall in front of him.

Hearing that Ma Jiaoteng was willing to pay 100,000 Yanhuang Coins for his Bao Guo Dao Yi, Cannot Eat Peach grew a little excited.

He was just about to agree when another voice suddenly sounded nearby.

"200,000 Yanhuang Coins!"

Ma Jiaoteng and Cannot Eat Peach turned their heads in unison.

A pretty-faced young man was walking over.

"Are you crazy? That junk isn't worth 200,000!"

Ma Jiaoteng was so furious his liver hurt. He was worth hundreds of millions, but Bao Guo Dao Yi was still just a low-level piece of equipment.

At market price, even 100,000 Yanhuang Coins was already high.

Now some lunatic had shown up to outbid him, leaving Ma Jiaoteng feeling as if a husky had just mounted him.

The pretty-faced young man glanced sideways at Ma Jiaoteng and calmly replied with a few words.

"I'm Jing Chenhao. I have money to burn!"

Those words enraged Ma Jiaoteng at once.

Damn it, you think you can compete with me, Ma Jiaoteng, when it comes to money?

You must still be dreaming!

Ma Jiaoteng immediately snorted.

"300,000!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the player named Jing Chenhao immediately called out a new price.

"400,000!"

"500,000!"

Ma Jiaoteng was furious.

Outbid me? No way! I, Ma Jiaoteng, am buying that Bao Guo Dao Yi no matter what!

Jing Chenhao naturally refused to back down and kept raising the price.

As the two big spenders frantically outbid each other, seemingly just to spite one another, Kaitou Kid had quietly moved to Ma Jiaoteng's side, pretending to watch the show.

In the end, Ma Jiaoteng came out on top.

He bought the Bao Guo Dao Yi for 1,000,000 Yanhuang Coins.

Feeling satisfied, Ma Jiaoteng happily took the Bao Guo Dao Yi from Cannot Eat Peach.

He gave Jing Chenhao a smug look.

Then he prepared to check the Bao Guo Dao Yi's attributes.

Just then, he suddenly felt someone bump into him.

Before he could react, Ma Jiaoteng's hand was empty.

"Where's the robe? Where's my Bao Guo Dao Yi?"

Ma Jiaoteng panicked!

His Bao Guo Dao Yi had disappeared!

By then, Kaitou Kid had already turned and walked away without drawing attention to himself!

"Got it!"

"A little test run—and it feels great!"

A faint smile crossed Kaitou Kid's face.

He hadn't even walked a few steps when a game notification sounded beside his ear.

"Ding! Congratulations, player Kaitou Kid, on successfully completing an S-rank theft!"

"You've unlocked the Hidden Cultivation Route—Sleight of Hand Technique!"

"Each time you use the Sleight of Hand Technique, you'll gain a large amount of experience..."

Hearing the game notification, Kaitou Kid froze.

A moment later, overwhelming joy surged through him!

Damn, it really worked?!
