Since he had just arranged to et Fang ngzhu at his ho, Su Xin couldn’t afford to spend too much ti outside.
But he could still attempt the remaining three thods from the task before heading back—
Theft, Robbery, Deception.
As long as two of these et the requirents, the task would be successfully completed.
Thinking of this, Su Xin imdiately walked to the roadside and flagged a taxi.
Back at ho, he swiftly changed into a black robe and black sneakers, put on a mask and Finger Tiger, placed his spare phone into his pocket, and entered the bathroom, locking the door.
He clasped his hands together.
A Random Instant Teleportation whisked him away from the spot.
To his delight, Su Xin appeared as wished in the bedroom of a household, with laughter and conversation coming from outside.
Su Xin calmly glanced around.
Finally, he took a phone charger from the bedside table and casually put it into his pocket.
Sure enough, the system prompt sounded tily.
"Ding! [Cunning and Robbery] progress 1."
At this mont, a young woman pushed the door open and walked in, suddenly seeing the dark-robed figure standing by the bed, she let out an ear-splitting scream, collapsing to the ground, legs kicking frantically as she retreated.
"What’s wrong?"
Along with the sound of footsteps, a slightly chubby young man rushed over, also seeing Su Xin in his black robe.
Although the man was also tense, he was sowhat prepared ntally, and did not collapse in a panic, but instead asked Su Xin from a distance:
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Su Xin did not respond.
His gaze passed through the two of them, setting a Space-Ti Anchor Point behind them, his hands hidden in the robe quietly clasped together, teleporting there.
This scene made the man’s hair stand on end, his courage evaporating instantly.
The woman, who recovered with difficulty, initially thought her reaction was excessive, but upon seeing this scene, let out another scream, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Su Xin’s eyes quickly scanned the room, finally settling on the bracelet on the woman’s wrist.
He pointed at the jade bracelet on her wrist, lowering his voice deeply, and said:
"The bracelet, give it to ."
The man hurriedly crawled to the woman’s side, fumbling to remove the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Su Xin.
"This should count as robbery, right?"
Thinking this way, Su Xin took the jade bracelet and casually put it into his pocket, but this ti, the system prompt did not ring.
"It seems the system determined that this thod overlapped with a previous instance."
Though disappointed, Su Xin still clasped his hands together and teleported back ho.
Estimating that Fang ngzhu would arrive shortly, he didn’t have ti to try other thods, so he temporarily gave up, changed out of his gear, and hid everything in the wardrobe.
As he changed back into his daily attire.
The knock on the door sounded.
Su Xin walked over and opened the door.
Fang ngzhu stood at the door, carrying a takeout bag, smiling brightly at him.
"You probably haven’t eaten yet, here, I bought this for you on my way over."
"Thank you."
Su Xin took the takeout bag and pulled Fang ngzhu into an embrace, taking a deep breath in her hair, earnestly saying: "ngzhu, you’re so good."
"I’m only good to you."
Fang ngzhu also embraced him passionately.
After a while, Su Xin cald his emotions and welcod Fang ngzhu inside. The two sat together at the dining table in the living room.
Su Xin was really hungry.
While eating takeout, he browsed through the information Fang ngzhu had just sent him on his phone, as Fang ngzhu watched him intently.
According to the information, there are thirteen sizes of syndicates in Lening City, including the Golden Shield Gang, with five having the largest influence and the best business developnt, acknowledged by many as the five major syndicates of Lening City. But the other eight smaller syndicates cannot be underestimated either, with official mbers exceeding over two hundred and total assets at least several billion.
Besides these thirteen syndicates, there are so hidden underworld organizations.
The underworld organizations here are not like the cri groups from Su Xin’s previous life, nor are they similar to syndicates in this world, but rather groups engaged in various illegal transactions, such as smuggling, illegal immigration, theft, making fake docunts, and various small criminal groups involved in shady industries.
In summary, these underworld organizations are essentially the predecessors of syndicate companies, and syndicate companies are legalized large-scale underworld organizations capable of conducting profitable legitimate businesses.
However, the dangerously illegal businesses on the ground still have people doing them, and various underworld groups continue to erge. So are destroyed in developnt, so quietly affiliate with syndicate companies, and so slowly grow strong enough to form syndicates and walk the straight path.
After looking through this information, Su Xin felt his head swelling.
It’s surprising that such a not-so-big Lening City has so many forces, and the relationships between the major forces are complex, making it difficult to discern anything from the information.
If investigated blindly, it might take months without finding the culprit.
"I have to rely on supernatural abilities."
Su Xin accepted his fate.
Since relying on his skills isn’t cutting it, he’ll have to depend on supernatural powers.
After finishing the al and tidying up the table, Su Xin was about to say sothing to Fang ngzhu when he saw her removing a red string bracelet from her wrist.
"This was a lucky bracelet given to by my grandma when I was little, it’s been with for over ten years, bringing luck all along."
As she spoke, she handed the red string to Su Xin:
"I’m giving it to you."
Su Xin was taken aback, and quickly refused:
"I can’t, this must be sothing very important to you, I can’t accept it."
Fang ngzhu pulled Su Xin’s hand and placed the red string in his palm, seriously saying:
"Since the day we got together, I’ve decided to consider you my man for a lifeti, I’m telling you this one last ti, don’t draw lines between us, or I’ll be angry."
Su Xin was stunned.
Not just because of Fang ngzhu’s words, but also by the system prompt.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the task [Cunning and Robbery] is completed, awakening opportunity for ability once, would you like to use it?"
"Use it."
Su Xin clenched the red string bracelet tightly in his hand, silently saying in his heart.
"Ding, awakening ability [Other-Transformation]."
[Other-Transformation LV1: Take away soone’s item for more than ten minutes without them noticing and obtain ownership.]
The ability’s attribute left Su Xin sowhat disappointed.
Although the specific effects of this ability are unclear for now, it was obvious that it offered no help in finding the culprit.
But since the karma points were abundant, he spent a hundred to upgrade it.
"Ding! Other-Transformation upgraded to LV2!"
"Please choose from the following two traits: 1. Quick Theft, 2. Trace the Origin."
