Thief Saint screamed! “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

To this, Qin Feng could only say…

"I hope when I bring Big Eyes home, this girl can still see me as a good person…"

Since they had entered the Wandering Spirit Dungeon area, the 'Thief Saint' NPC could appear at any moment.

In his previous life, quite a few experts specialized in researching NPC behavior.

It even gave rise to a discipline called 'NPC Behavioral Science'.

Qin Feng had read quite a few works on this subject, and among them, those regarding 'Thief Saint · William Scott' were often used as case studies by experts.

"This NPC needs to follow two principles."

"One, he cannot leave the Wandering Spirit Dungeon area."

"And another, he can only use the Stealing skill; all other skills are sealed…"

"And the reason he needs to steal is that he requires the stolen items to maintain his own Lifespan."

Originally, this NPC was a 'Player' from another civilization.

As for what mistake he committed to be sent to Blue Star and become an NPC, no one knows.

Even after he was subsequently taken back to the Hideout by the Government, this guy didn't reveal any relevant information…

Of course, this had nothing to do with Qin Feng.

"Into Darkness!"

After arriving at the Wandering Spirit Dungeon, Qin Feng suddenly entered a stealth state and flipped off the panda.

To ensure he reached a Level 30 Anti-Stealth, Qin Feng had to reach Level 24 Stealth Level.

Relying on skills alone wasn't enough.

Therefore, he had to maintain a certain speed to activate the Stealth Level effect attached to his 'Sonic Shoes'.

To the players of the Shudao Mountain Guild who saw this scene, their eyes widened one after another.

"When he arrived, he suddenly appeared!"

"Now, he suddenly disappeared!"

Qin Feng disappeared without a trace.

He didn't leave the slightest trace behind.

Only the Sword Immortal Old Man, 'Turtle Son Watching Sword', received a private message from Qin Feng: "Old man, keep leading the way; I'm following you all."

Thus, the Sword Immortal Old Man shouted in the team channel: "Don't panic, follow me."

…

A team of sixty people moved rapidly through the ruins of the Wandering Spirit Dungeon.

Along the way, they encountered batches of Sichuan players leveling up in this area.

For a time, many players pointed at them and discussed them animatedly.

"Didn't they say they brought Shadow to catch the thief? Where is Shadow?"

"Hilarious, isn't Shadow a thief himself? You still want to see Shadow?"

"That's true, it's a bit of a pity not to see the world's number one expert…"

"With Shadow here, that little thief definitely won't be able to run away, right?"

"Hard to say, are the NPCs in this game that easy to deal with?"

Most people were looking forward to Shadow being able to take down that 'Thief Saint' NPC.

But there was also a small minority who held no hope for it.

Just in an area of crumbling walls constantly respawning magical beasts and monsters, another large guild's team was watching 'Turtle Son Watching Sword' and his group pass by from afar.

Among them, a Young Swordsman with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes revealed a cold sneer.

"Brother Zhixian, isn't that the guild of that little lass, your neighbor?"

"It really is. So many pandas; I originally thought they were just messing around, I didn't expect them to be serious."

"They said they brought Shadow to catch the thief. Looking at how they are all fully armed, I'm afraid they'll be stolen clean in a while."

"Why bother with them? Those NPCs are all extremely cunning and treacherous. So far, I haven't heard of anyone being able to kill an NPC. This Shadow is just courting death; I'm afraid he'll be stolen down to his underwear."

"Doesn't matter, ignore them; in a while, they'll be running away with their tails between their legs."

…

Meanwhile, the Shudao Mountain Guild also saw that Young Swordsman with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and their expressions turned cold.

"Yo, it's that Turtle Son."

"Bad luck, no wonder I stepped in dog shit when I went out today…"

Qin Feng, stealthed to the side, listened to their conversation and paid a little attention.

The person they were talking about was the guild leader of another Sichuan guild. That young man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, looked to be in his early twenties, and his class was a Common Swordsman.

That guy's codename was 'Zhixian Ren', very poetic, but unfortunately, he didn't act like a decent person.

It turned out that 'Zhixian Ren' and 'I Don't Eat Bamboo' were originally neighbors, and their relationship was pretty good before. Both sets of parents even joked that when the girl Bamboo graduated, the two of them could date or something.

As a result, on the day the God Forsaken Game descended, 'Zhixian Ren' had stayed up all night playing cards and only went to sleep in the morning. He actually entered the God Forsaken Game at the very first moment and obtained a Platinum-grade Talent!

In the God Forsaken Game, Zhixian Ren developed rapidly, which made him very arrogant, believing that his era was coming, and he even picked up three girls in the game…

Thus, he found 'I Don't Eat Bamboo' again, asking the girl to join him, with his words sounding as if he were pitying or bestowing a favor upon her.

As a result, naturally, he was scolded by the girl!

Originally, 'Zhixian Ren' wanted to wait for the girl to hit a wall in the God Forsaken Game, realize the reality, and then come to beg him…

Never did he expect that the girl would actually obtain a unique Hidden Class, and even her Talent was the same Platinum-grade as his!

And so…

The girl caught up from behind, developing faster than that guy, and after meeting the Sword Immortal Old Man in the game, they formed the 'Shudao Mountain' Guild together.

To this day, the overall strength of the Shudao Mountain Guild has completely crushed the guild established by 'Zhixian Ren'.

That guild barely managed to enter the top hundred in the Sichuan Ruins.

But the current Shudao Mountain Guild is firmly in the top three guilds within the Sichuan region, and that's even including the Government guilds!

"Oh my."

The girl with the bun hairstyle slapped her forehead and frowned: "Thinking that after taking down the Thief Saint, this guy won't get stolen from anymore, it's just so annoying."

The Sword Immortal Old Man sighed: "No choice, it's for the sake of having a better leveling environment for all the people in Sichuan…"

Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled.

This matter was very easy to solve.

Once he beat the 'Thief Saint' NPC into submission, that NPC would belong to his guild, and he could sell 'Thieving Saint Talisman's!

At that time, letting the Shudao Mountain Guild buy a batch of Thieving Saint Talismans would be equivalent to creating a bunch of 'Thief Saints'!

Not happy with that young man?

Just use a 'Thieving Saint Talisman' on him directly!

Who said that if the Thief Saint NPC is gone, you won't get stolen from?

Not only will you still get stolen from, but you will also get stolen from anytime, anywhere, not limited to the Wandering Spirit Dungeon at all… I'm sure that will be a very pleasant surprise for the victim, right?

Of course.

At that time, the Thief Saint would be an NPC belonging to Qin Feng's guild, so Qin Feng would naturally have to collect taxes on anything bought from the Thief Saint… Ahem.

…

The vast ruins of the Wandering Spirit Dungeon.

A shadowless, formless existence was wandering around within it.

It was none other than 'Thief Saint · William Scott', whom the Sichuan players detested deeply!

It was sneaking around, cautiously observing its surroundings, looking for a 'wealthy-looking' target to commit a crime…

Suddenly, it saw a large player team moving forward.

That team had many pandas following them, and the members were well-equipped; one look and you could tell they were the top-tier players at the current stage!

"Hehe, here goes!"

The 'Thief Saint' used all eight of its hands, flying out from the shadows of the ruins…

But, before it could land.

Its vision went black!

— —

[Your stealth has been seen through!]

[Your Stripping amount has reached 100%, you have fallen into a Stripped state!]

[You have lost your five senses!]

— —

"!!!"

In the pitch darkness, this NPC 'Thief Saint', who had attacked thousands of times without ever missing, was instantly plunged into shock and subconsciously let out a shrill scream. However, it discovered that it couldn't even hear its own scream!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How long has Blue Star been developing, and there's actually a player who can see through my stealth?"

"And… instantly Stripping my Superior Affix, and even making me lose my five senses?"

"Is this… another NPC making a move?"

This was the first thought that popped into this guy's mind!
