Chapter 1367: Chapter 599 Boss, I’m Here to Stock Up_2

[You have expended 1 Blood Rhythm Point to activate the Blood Rhythm ’Hyper-Sense,’ current LV1: Your direct line of sight in the fog expands by 100 meters, your indirect perception range extends 200 meters, and within this range you can see through ordinary objects to directly perceive scenes obscured by obstructions.]

Shape-shifting doesn’t need much explanation; it’s as expected, but the main point is Hyper-Sense. Apart from the x-ray ability, it directly expanded his vision range. At LV1, it offered a clear line of sight of 100 meters, plus an additional perceptual range of 200 meters.

Currently at three stars, his normal vision range is around 50-70 meters. This upgrade has increased it by three to fourfold, reaching over 350 meters! And that’s with x-ray vision, akin to a God’s-eye view; everything within a 350-meter radius is clearly visible, no small movement can escape his perception.

[You hold the Blood-sucking Velvet in your hand, approaching the Sparrow Man. Under the Sparrow Man’s terrified gaze, you stab it in the chest with a Knife.]

[You have killed the Sparrow Man. Your ’Shape-shifting’ Blood Rhythm has acquired the form of the Sparrow Man.]

Mu You couldn’t be bothered to waste words with the Sparrow Man and simply dispatched it with a knife, trying out the three pieces of equipment in the process.

[You transform into a Sparrow Man and equip the ’Sparrow Brigand Mask,’ ’Sparrow Brigand Gloves,’ and ’Sparrow Brigand Backpack.’]

"It really works!"

Mu You’s eyes lit up, it seems that shape transformation is indeed recognized by the equipment.

Afterward, Mu You tried reverting to his original appearance and found that the three equipped items didn’t fall off; they remained in the equipment slot.

However, if he were to actively remove the three pieces of equipment, he wouldn’t be able to re-equip them unless he transformed into a Sparrow Man first.

Getting back to the main point, after putting on the Sparrow Brigand Gloves, Mu You smoothly obtained the ’Theft’ ability. Now, he could be considered a true ’Sparrow Brigand.’

Before taking action, Mu You experimented with the theft ability on three of his clones in reality.

"The failure rate is quite high!"

Watchman looked at Mu You’s empty hands and stroked his chin: "Moreover, once the theft fails, I can directly feel that ’something was stolen from me’."

"Looks like this ability needs a lot of practice..." Mu You shook his head.

He just had his clones each carry 100 forms, and after dozens of continuous theft attempts on each person, there were only a few successes.

The success rate of such theft depends on his level of thievery, the difference in strength between the two parties, the target’s level of alertness, and so on. Even the most skilled Sparrow Brigand would have a high probability of failure if attempting to steal from a Nine Stars creature, or even God-level Creatures, and would be caught on the spot if they fail.

At the same time, considering Mu You’s beginner’s level, the amount of Divinity he could steal each time was completely random; good luck meant he could steal over 90 points in one go, bad luck meant single digits.

Of course, all of this wasn’t a problem for Mu You. With the fall-back provided by the Pocket Watch, retrying after failure was an option. As long as the probability wasn’t zero, it meant a hundred percent success for him.

After experimenting with his abilities, Mu You immediately returned to the game and began his Sparrow Brigand career.

[...Transported by Kun Peng, you quickly return to the Crow Tribe.]

[On a deserted part of the mountain path, you quietly transform into the form of a Sparrow Man and equip three pieces of Sparrow Brigand gear, as well as the ’Thousand Faces’.]

[Now, in appearance you are an unrecognizable Crow Man.]

[You walk boldly into the village. Inside the Crow Tribe at this time, you can vaguely see some Fools.]

[You walk past the Crow Man vendor at the entrance of the village. The vendor briefly glances at you without much attention, all their focus on the Fools in the distance. These new Fools are viewed as fattened sheep ready to be slaughtered in the eyes of the Crow merchants.]

[You trigger ’Presence,’ significantly reducing your presence. You quietly move to a large tree not far from the Crow Man vendor and crouch down, unnoticed by anyone around due to the influence of ’Presence’.]

[You attempt to steal from the Crow Man vendor. Success rate: 15%.]

[Theft failed, you have been discovered by the Crow Man vendor! The vendor angrily grabs your hand, calling out ’thief’ loudly, attracting the attention of many people around...]

"Rewind."

[Time flows backward, armed with the experience from your previous failure, you attempt to steal from the Crow Man vendor once more, this time being even more cautious...]

[Theft failed...]

"Rewind..."

...

Mu You is not in the least bit worried; a 15% chance compared to the devilish odds he has rolled before is already like a dream come true.

[Theft successful! You have stolen 78 Divine Crystals from the Crow Man vendor, which have been automatically stored in your Sparrow Brigand Backpack.]

As expected, after several attempts, he succeeded smoothly, but Mu You pressed ’Rewind’ again because there is a cooldown for thieving, about a minute or so. Attempting consecutive thefts on the same person during this period increases the probability of being detected.

So, it’s best to steal successfully in one go.

Mu You believed that the vendor’s stash of Divinity was definitely more than just 78 points.

[Theft successful! ...You have stolen 450 points of Divinity...]

"Rewind."

[Theft successful! ...You have stolen 788 points of Divinity...]

"Rewind."

...

Next, Mu You continued to try repeatedly.

After rewinding thousands of times, he came to a conclusion: the Divinity this Crow Man possessed should be around 3500 points, as the highest amount he had stolen so far was 3456 points.

Confirming this, Mu You rewound several more times, stopping only when he rolled a satisfactory number.
