Chapter 17, the National Thieves' Tournament, grants a new ability: the Memory Palace.
After that, the young man still wouldn't give up. He pretended not to hear and continued to plead and beg for his so-called unreasonable request.
"Master... next month on the 6th... there will be a national thief conference in Nanhu City... also known as the Nanhu Thief Conference, and all the famous thieves in the underworld will attend..."
"I heard... this is a competition to select the leader of the thieves' guild... With your skills, why don't you represent us in the competition..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaozu raised an eyebrow, somewhat tempted.
National door theft conference?
Is this some kind of suicide attempt?
To dare to hold such a conference is simply a blatant provocation against the police.
But clearly, those who dare to participate must be renowned master thieves.
If you catch him and hand him over to the police, the reward is...
Meanwhile, seeing that there was a chance, the young man quickly increased his bet again.
"By the way, Master! I heard that whoever wins the title of the leader of the Thieves' Guild will receive a reward of 1000 million. It's said that a bounty has already been placed."
Hearing this, Lin Yaozu became even more puzzled. There was even a bonus? And it was 1000 million?
Are you kidding me?
Is the government not taking any action?
It always feels like I'm fishing.
Even if it isn't, the water inside must be very deep.
On the other side, the young man, disregarding everything, revealed all the information he had overheard.
"Master, the token for participating in the competition is at #%@. We can't get out of here, but you can still help us prove ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaozu smacked his lips and waved his hand casually.
"We'll see how I feel then!"
The young man took a deep breath and made another desperate attempt to reveal the truth.
"Add money! We'll add money! There are lots of good things buried two meters down from the fourth big tree in the %#@ area, all of them are yours."
At this moment, his companion next to him looked completely bewildered.
What on earth is all this?!
Door-stealing conference?
What else might be hidden under a tree?
We were together all along!
Why do I always feel like you don't live with us?
They're all from the same thief gang, so why are you so special?
Just then, intern Xiao Liu walked in.
"Lin Yaozu, come out!"
Seeing that the man was about to leave, the young man became so anxious that his eyes turned red, and he shouted through gritted teeth.
"Master! Don't forget what you promised me! You must go!"
Unfortunately, Lin Yaozu didn't even bother with him.
Hehe!
A weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken—that rascal has no good intentions whatsoever.
After the man left, his accomplice finally seized the opportunity and quickly pressed him to explain how he knew so much.
At this point, the young man finally revealed his wicked plan with a triumphant air.
"So...that's how it is...that son of a bitch is so greedy, he'll definitely participate. He'll either get caught or get sabotaged by his colleagues."
"After a while, I'll report him in prison again, and maybe I can get my sentence reduced."
Upon hearing these words, the accomplices outwardly gave their approval, but inwardly they were plotting their next move.
Putting everything else aside, the idea of getting a reduced sentence for reporting crimes is really great.
Now, it's mine!
……
Meanwhile, Lin Yaozu had just stepped outside when he saw Officer Zhao and promptly sold the young man out.
What national burglary competition? And the tokens for participating...
The so-called treasures hidden under the big tree were all exposed and thoroughly investigated.
What era are we living in? They're still resorting to these old-fashioned schemes and tricks.
Anyway, no matter what that young man was up to, Lin Yaozu was prepared to report it to him first.
In his view, hiding this information and going alone to participate in the so-called Thieves' Tournament was the least efficient approach.
Moreover, the new path that Lin Yaozu is preparing to take is also closely related to the police.
Reporting in advance and being honest about the information is the greatest sign of goodwill.
At that time, as long as one isn't foolish, they will maintain a tacit cooperative relationship.
As for the so-called "a lot of things were buried and belonged to him"?
Hehe!
Each wallet contains no more than 300 yuan, and a gang of thieves who can't even scrape together enough for a meal with eight wallets—what kind of gang could they possibly be?
Moreover, Lin Yaozu is already preparing to walk the right path.
He didn't care for those illegal gains obtained through crooked means.
With the cheat software already in my account, why worry about not making money?
On the other side, Officer Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this information, and he excitedly shook Lin Yaozu's hand.
"Yaozu, thank you so much for the information!"
"This gang of thieves broke into a large gold shop in Jingshan City and stole a lot of gold jewelry."
"Maybe it's hiding under that big tree..."
Lin Yaozu: "???"
Wait a minute~
gold?
A large gold shop?
No...aren't they that fierce?
After Officer Zhao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to set off with his colleagues to recover the stolen goods.
Not far behind him, Lin Yaozu inexplicably struck the Er Kang hand gesture, his heart surging with various urges to shout.
Old Zhao, wait for me!
If I said I was just rambling, would you believe me?
If there really were that many gold jewelry pieces, it wouldn't seem like a problem to occasionally cheat someone out of their money.
Huge losses!
Heartache!
After leaving the police station, Lin Yaozu appeared somewhat lost and dejected.
Oh dear!
I still feel so sorry for him!
I missed out on so much money!
It's all that bastard's fault; he didn't even explain himself clearly.
If I see him again, I'll definitely slap him across the face to teach him a lesson.
If you leave half of what you've said unsaid, you'll get beaten up eight times a day.
What to do when you're in a bad mood?
Only a foot bath can warm people's hearts!
Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yaozu arrived at the entrance of a pink-themed restaurant and walked in quite naturally.
After a while.
"Uh...that feels good..."
Lin Yaozu looked relaxed, his feet soaking in the wooden tub, which was steaming hot and faintly smelled of roses.
"Hello, this is number 66, at your service!"
"Hmm! Use a little more force!"
"yes!"
"Push harder! Haven't you eaten?"
"Uh...yes...!"
After a long while.
"Sir, do you need any other services?"
"Need not!"
"Sir, would you like to...?"
"No! Stop talking nonsense! Squeeze properly!"
"..."
Lin Yaozu closed his eyes and checked the newly displayed system notification in his mind.
【Ding~】
[Successfully reported and arrested one member of a honey trap scheme, earning 30 Justice Points.]
……
【Ding~】
[Successfully reported and arrested the leader of a honey trap gang, earning 80 Justice Points.]
……
【Ding~】
Destroy a small-scale honey trap gang and receive an extra 200 Justice Points and a "Team Annihilation Gift Pack." Open it now?
In the blink of an eye, the Justice Points, which were originally 80 points, suddenly surged to 550 points.
In addition, there's a small gift pack for wiping out the entire party.
Although it's not as impressive as the last "team wipe" gift pack, it's still free, better than nothing.
Open! Open! Open!
It's time to unpack again!
【Ding~】
[The team wipe gift pack has been opened, and the skill "Memory Palace" has been obtained.]
【Memory Palace】: Also known as the Method of Loci, it constructs palace-shaped memory areas, increasing memory speed by 10-20 times and reducing the forgetting rate by 90%.
(P.S.: The effectiveness of a skill is related to intelligence.)
In an instant, countless memories that had been hidden deep within Lin Yaozu's mind surfaced.
At this moment, he is rapidly building his own memory palace.
A moment later, the past memories became clearer than ever before.
This new ability is fantastic!
