Hidden Cultivation Route--Sleight of Hand Technique

Knock, knock, knock!

A sudden knock rang out.

Ye Yu, sensing the commotion from within his Divine Domain, instantly withdrew.

His figure reappeared in the room.

"Come in!"

As the words fell, the door was pushed open.

Xiao Gui stood at the entrance, expressionless.

"I'm already a One-star Demigod."

"Wodema devoured Zhang Dongyang's Divine Spark—his talent's no worse than mine."

"Barring surprises, he'll definitely advance to One-star Demigod before the Divine War."

"Watch yourself. Don't die."

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

Before Ye Yu could react, Xiao Gui had already dropped his words, turned, and walked away.

Seeing Xiao Gui's tsundere demeanor, a strange feeling welled up in Ye Yu's heart.

"This Xiao Gui... why's he getting weirder and weirder?"

On Awakening Day, Xiao Gui had seemed perfectly normal.

Brimming with confidence, beaming—exactly how a young man flushed with success should look.

But just a few days later, Xiao Gui was getting more and more... flamboyant.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Yu and the other new gods had grown up together—

Even if they didn't know each other inside out, they weren't strangers—

Ye Yu might actually have thought Xiao Gui was gay.

Shaking his head, Ye Yu focused on what Xiao Gui had just said.

"A One-star Demigod, huh?"

"Well, he's one of the top three talents. That advancement speed is impressive, no doubt."

Ye Yu wasn't really surprised by Xiao Gui's advancement.

After all, he was a genius whose initial Divine Domain spanned a thousand square kilometers!

Add in the A+-rank Flood Dragon People race—

Four or five days to reach One-star Demigod was perfectly normal.

Likewise, Ye Yu didn't think Wodema would get stuck on that front either.

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

Ye Yu shook his head, dismissing the news Xiao Gui had brought.

So what if he was a One-star Demigod?

So what if he was a super genius?

In front of a Hacker like him, he'd still get utterly crushed.

"It's getting late. Time to rest."

After a moment's thought, Ye Yu chose not to return to his Divine Domain but to rest instead.

Inside Immortal Path was basically on track now; he didn't need to keep an eye on it every second.

Besides, his Divine Sense avatar was still inside, so he could always keep tabs on his Divine Domain's status.

Inside Immortal Path.

There were plenty of night-owl players.

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

Upon logging into the game, Kaitou Kid was genuinely stunned by the 100% realism.

It took him a good while to gradually calm down.

But Kaitou Kid didn't rush out to grind monsters like most players.

Instead, he carefully observed the various players in the square.

It was an occupational habit.

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

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

Of course, later on, Kaitou Kid had washed his hands and gone straight.

But for some reason, after lying low for so long, Kaitou Kid suddenly felt an itch.

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

They never steal from ordinary people.

Instead, they target one so-called top-tier global security system after another!

Since Kaitou Kid debuted, his failure rate has been 0%!

Clearly, this guy is a truly terrifying figure.

Now, inside Immortal Path, Kaitou Kid's heart was gradually taking flight.

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

"How about... giving it a shot?"

Kaitou Kid muttered to himself.

The next moment, his gaze locked onto a player!

"Him!"

"Ma Jiaoteng!"

Thinking this, Kaitou Kid moved silently toward Ma Jiaoteng.

Ma Jiaoteng, who had been beaten up by players as soon as he entered Immortal Path, was feeling pretty aggrieved.

Luckily, later on, some high-level executives from Penguin Company also got test qualifications and entered the game.

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

Right now, in the plaza.

Ma Jiaoteng had his eye on a piece of equipment.

"100,000, 100,000 Yanhuang Coins, buying this Bao Guo Dao Yi from you!"

"That's not a low price—after all, Bao Guo Dao Yi isn't exactly high-tier gear!"

"Say something, and if it's a deal, I'll have someone transfer the money right away!"

Ma Jiaoteng stared at Cannot Eat Peach, who was setting up a stall in front of him.

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

He was about to agree when a voice suddenly came from the side.

"200,000, Yanhuang Coins!"

Ma Jiaoteng and Cannot Eat Peach both turned to look.

A pretty boy was walking over.

"Are you crazy? This crappy gear isn't worth 200,000!"

Ma Jiaoteng was so angry his liver ached. Though he had billions in assets, Bao Guo Dao Yi was still just low-level equipment.

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

Now some lunatic had popped up out of nowhere to bid against him, and Ma Jiaoteng felt like he'd been screwed over by a husky.

Hearing this, the pretty boy glanced sideways at Ma Jiaoteng and casually spat out a few words.

"I'm Jing Chenhao. Money's no object."

At that, Ma Jiaoteng was instantly provoked.

Damn it, trying to out-money me, Ma Jiaoteng?

You must not be awake yet.

Immediately, Ma Jiaoteng snorted coldly.

"300,000!"

No sooner had his words fallen than the player named Jing Chenhao shot back a new price.

"400,000!"

"500,000!"

Ma Jiaoteng was fuming.

Bid your ass off—this Bao Guo Dao Yi, I, Ma Jiaoteng, am buying it no matter what!

Jing Chenhao naturally wouldn't back down and kept raising the price.

As these two whale spenders furiously drove up the bid like they were in a grudge match, Kaitou Kid had already silently appeared beside Ma Jiaoteng, looking like he was just watching the show.

A moment later, Ma Jiaoteng ultimately came out on top.

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

Ma Jiaoteng felt satisfied, happily taking the Bao Guo Dao Yi from Cannot Eat Peach.

He shot a slightly smug raise of his eyebrows at Jing Chenhao.

Then he prepared to admire the Bao Guo Dao Yi's stats.

Just then, he suddenly felt someone bump into him.

Before he could react, Ma Jiaoteng's hands were already empty.

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

Ma Jiaoteng panicked!

His Bao Guo Dao Yi had vanished without a trace?

Meanwhile, Kaitou Kid had already turned and slipped away without a sound.

"Got it!"

"A little test run, not bad at all!"

A faint smile crept across Kaitou Kid's face.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when a game notification chimed in his ear.

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

"You have triggered the Hidden Cultivation Route—Sleight of Hand Technique!"

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

Hearing the game prompt, Kaitou Kid froze for a moment.

Then, a surge of wild joy flooded his heart!

Damn, even this works?
