Chapter 1364: Chapter 598: The Ingenious Thief, Never Leaving Empty-Handed

"Which player is it?" Blue Eyes White Dragon asked on behalf of everyone.

"It’s not a player, it’s a local real creature, a 5-star Sparrow Man," Mu You said.

stars?

Everyone was even more puzzled.

If it’s just 5 stars, the great god should be able to handle it by himself...

They had all heard that the City Lord had been taking the Bone Dragon around hunting 5-star creatures like crazy these past few days, wiping out nests in one go, extremely vicious.

"This Sparrow Man is very fast, and it has a strong ability to hide, I’m afraid it will escape," Mu You explained.

"I see..."

Everyone then understood.

They naturally had no reason to refuse Mu You’s request, as it was a mere trifle for them.

Of course, they didn’t need too many people to deal with a 5-star creature, ten or so would suffice.

Next, Mu You and the others made some arrangements and chose ten players with relatively strong abilities to ambush near the mountain top.

Meanwhile, Mu You returned to the game, temporarily leaving the village, and teleported back to Dawn City through the Green Lamp on the mountain path.

[You appear in Dawn City.]

[You come before the Order God Statue, its eyes emitting a gentle glow that envelops you.]

[Current Divinity Pool total: 335,000.]

[Current Experience Pool total: 84.5 million.]

[Current unlockable sideline Divine Arts: 1-star, 15 kinds... 2-star, 13 kinds... 3-star, 11 kinds...]

After advancing to 3 stars, Mu You could now unlock all sideline Divine Arts below 3 stars.

This time he came back specifically to unlock a Divine Art that he had seen before, intended to deal with the Sparrow Man.

Mu You searched through the list of 2-star Divine Arts, quickly finding the one he fancied.

[Low-altitude Combat: Once activated, all creatures within nearby range must maintain below a certain altitude. Exceeding the warning height will result in a heavy strike and an Order’s Lock will be applied.]

Basically, this Divine Art creates a No-fly Zone around oneself; all creatures in the area must engage in ground combat, specifically designed to confront those flying creatures adept at high altitude flight.

If it were somewhere else, Mu You wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of exchanging a Divine Art just to catch a crow. However, the surrounding area of this mountain range was engulfed in no-fly rules, with only local creatures like the Crow Man, Sparrow Man, and large birds able to fly normally; other players and the Bone Dragon were severely restricted by these rules.

Once the Sparrow Man fled to the high skies, they could only watch helplessly as it escaped; there was nothing they could do.

To capture that Sparrow Man alive, this rule was almost essential!

[The sideline Divine Art ’Low-altitude Combat’ has been unlocked. Believers of Order above the rank of Zealot can spend 100 Divinity to comprehend this Divine Art.]

[...You have learned ’Low-altitude Combat’.]

[You have spent 195 Divinity, your ’Low-altitude Combat’ is enhanced to LV4.]

Having spent 100 Divinity to learn Low-altitude Combat, Mu You casually threw in some more Divinity to upgrade the Divine Art to level 4, slightly increasing the impact range of the No-fly Zone.

After doing these things, Mu You returned to the Crow Tribe through the Soul-inducing Lamp within the city.

[You appear underneath the Soul-inducing Lamp of the Crow Tribe. The mountain path nearby is deserted.]

[You return to the Crow Village and soon see the Thief Crow Man from before at a stall near the village entrance.]

[The thief, seeing you return, shows a moment of surprise but promptly regains his composure, pretending to continue browsing the goods.]

[Without paying any attention to the thief, you walk straight to the Crow Man vendor you had dealt with before, scanning the goods on the ground.]

["Customer, if you see anything you like, feel free to speak up!" With the expectant gaze of the Crow Man vendor upon you, you point to the second row’s three types of Potion of Defense and Life, bargaining: "Boss, could you give me a discount on these potions?"]

[The Crow Man vendor lights up at your words, but immediately his smile fades to a troubled expression, hesitating, "You don’t know, customer, but the Potion of Defense is a rare item, with very limited production each year. It’s not easy for us to stock them, and 1000 per bottle is already the market base price..."]

[After the Crow Man vendor finishes, seeing your slightly frowned expression, he swiftly adds: "However, in view of the relationship between you and the Fool’s Ancestors, if you buy all three potions together, I can give you a discount of 10%, a bundle of three bottles for 2700 Divinity, how about that?"]

Mu You immediately guessed that the bundle sale proposed by the other party meant there was definitely some difference in demand for these three potions. The Potion of Divine Power was the most practical with the highest demand and easiest to sell. Under the circumstances of limited funds, everyone would naturally choose the Potion of Divine Power first, followed by God’s Defense, with the Life Potion being the last choice.

Packaging and selling the three potions avoided the awkward situation where the Potion of Divine Power would be snapped up early, leaving the other two potions no one inquired about.

For Mu You, it didn’t matter; he had been planning to buy all three types anyway. Getting a discount was an added bonus.

[You show an expression of being slightly tempted and discreetly activate ’Presence’, greatly enhancing your presence.]

[Many surrounding eyes are attracted to you, and after hesitating on the spot for a few seconds, you tell the Crow Man vendor that you agree to his deal, but that you are a bit short on funds and need to go and earn some Divinity first, asking him to reserve a few potions for you.]

["No problem!" The Crow Man vendor readily agrees.]

[You then turn around, and under the watchful eyes of the surrounding Crow People, you swagger out of the village.]
