Chapter 1375: Chapter 602: The Way of the Godly Thief, Profound and Extensive_2

So, this map is actually something left behind by one of the Fool’s Ancestors during their battles in the Sky High World?

However, even after figuring out the origin of this map, Mu You couldn’t go searching for it because the Sky High World is too vast, and the information left on the map is too scant—it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. He could only leave it to fate and look for it if he happened to come across a similar place; otherwise, he would have to give up.

Mu You turned his attention back to the game, where new text had popped up.

[Applause from the bandit leader echoed throughout the hall.]

[As the other bandits looked on in stunned silence, the bandit leader stepped down from his throne, approached you, and said with a Smile, "Good lad, truly exceptional! Did you all see that? Taught himself and still reached such a level of thievery, what excuse do you have not to put in the effort?"]

[First, the bandit leader used your deeds to motivate the other bandits, leaving them hanging their heads in shame, then he turned to you, seemingly with a newfound appreciation for talent, and extended an olive branch: "Young man, I see potential in you, are you interested in joining my team?"]

[In the face of the recruitment offer, you did not directly agree, but instead questioned what benefits there would be to joining.]

["The most direct benefit of joining us is that you won’t have to wander anymore. From now on, you can steal freely within this Crow Tribe... Of course, following the local rules is a must."]

["Furthermore, you have excellent talent. It really diminishes your abilities to remain just an ordinary thief. How about this—if you agree to join, I can make you my second-in-command, and I will personally teach you higher-level thieving techniques," the bandit leader said confidently.]

[Upon hearing this, the surrounding bandits murmured in envy and jealousy.]

["Are you referring to ’Golden Left Hand’ when you mention higher-level thieving techniques?" You raise the Divine Arts stone you just obtained and ask in return.]

This bandit leader suddenly wanted to recruit Mu You and offered a heap of benefits. However, Mu You wasn’t particularly interested because adhering to the rules of these bandits would make him feel constrained.

If the only thing the other party could offer was the ’Golden Left Hand’ ability that could improve the success rate of theft, Mu You was ready to take the money and run.

["That’s just one of them..." Seeing your unfazed expression, the bandit leader looked a bit displeased: "You don’t think that just because you’ve cracked a few chests open, you’ve become peerless in thievery, do you?"]

[You didn’t answer, instead looking directly at him, waiting for what was to come.]

["Alright, lad, seems I’ll have to show you a trick, or else I really can’t subdue you," the bandit leader chuckled coldly and returned to his distant throne to sit down, eyeing you with interest.]

["Let me guess, right now, you have a total of... 32,751 Divinity points, right?" the bandit leader asked with a smile.]

Mu You glanced at his account balance on the panel... 32,751.

He actually got it right...

Mu You raised his eyebrows; so this person could directly see the total amount of Divinity on someone else?

If that was the case, it was indeed a remarkable ability.

["Hehe, don’t rush. Take another look at what you have left," the bandit leader suddenly said.]

Mu You instinctively looked at his balance again, frowning immediately.

The balance was now... 0!

Which meant that, in just those few seconds, the other party had stolen all the Divinity from him without him noticing?

More importantly, he was more than ten meters away from the other party, and the requirement for thievery was that it had to be activated within three meters. Did this mean that the other party could also steal remotely?

That made it virtually impossible to defend against!

With this thought, Mu You instinctively used his watch to turn back time, observing his panel carefully.

Indeed, Mu You could clearly see that, half a second before the other party started speaking, his Divinity suddenly dropped to zero.

Mu You immediately pressed the watch again.

He had confirmed that this person was capable of remote thievery; now, he wanted to see how successful the bandit leader’s thieving was—it surely couldn’t be 100%, could it?

[Time moved on, and the bandit leader on the throne looked at you confidently, his right hand stirring slightly.]

[But the very next second, the smile on his face froze, and after a moment, he spoke strangely: "Good lad, to be able to defend against it, really not bad at all. I’m getting more and more interested in you..."]

Mu You was already sweating on his forehead.

As it turned out, the other’s thieving wasn’t 100% successful, but it was close... Just now, despite being on guard, it took him more than five thousand retries to make the bandit leader’s thieving fail for the first time.

But that wasn’t the most important part; what surprised him even more was that even after the bandit leader’s theft failed, his text panel showed no prompt whatsoever!

That meant that the bandit leader also possessed the ability to fail at thievery without being exposed...

[The bandit leader on the throne, having failed at theft, was contemplating the next step, but you suddenly raised your hand to signal there was no need to continue; you were willing to join them.]

Mu You was indeed not interested in this bandit organization initially and was planning to take some benefits and make a run for it.

However, after witnessing such a display, he saw the depth and intricacy of thievery.

Mu You admitted that he was now a bit interested. Running away was definite, but before that, he at least wanted to learn these few useful tricks.

["Excellent!" The bandit leader, seeing you agree on your own, was very pleased with the change in your attitude before and after.]
