Points-500

There are 1050 points remaining.

The way of broad knowledge... Speaking of which, information about treasures needs to be obtained on one's own, right? Any method is acceptable.

When it comes to the best source of intelligence, nothing beats a gathering.

At gatherings of nobles and wealthy merchants, one can often hear all sorts of news.

Humans have three major desires:

1. Appetite.

2. Sleepiness.

3. Desire to perform.

Those who are extremely wealthy, in particular, can't help but boast about their achievements, and in doing so, they unconsciously reveal their treasures.

For example, what necklace you recently bought, or what rare item you received from someone.

Since we're going to target valuable treasures, we'll definitely have to visit their mansion.

Why don't I sneak in?

Luna muttered, "Unfortunately, I have no intention of becoming someone's maid or subordinate. That would take up a lot of my time and the information I could get would be very limited."

Even if you're rich, you still can't get into the circles of the aristocracy.

Nobles often have a high opinion of themselves, and although they may be very polite, it is not surprising that they look down on those of lower birth than themselves.

You need to be famous, you need to have power, you need to have...

Charm.

If we were to say which field in Fontainebleau possesses such conditions, it would undoubtedly be—drama.

The current courtroom in Fontaine is the Opi Clare Theatre, which serves as a supreme art venue when there are no cases to be tried.

When a trial is needed, the opera house will stage a drama of truth and falsehood, justice and evil.

After all, the cases themselves are often dramatic.

Brothers turning against each other, friends clashing, broken love, shattered friendships... Fontainebleau people have always loved drama, and this nature is the key reason why drama is a top-tier element of Fontainebleau culture.

In short, if you want to be someone respected and treated kindly by everyone, there is no doubt that becoming a highly popular actor is the best choice.

Ideally, they should be musical theatre actors.

"Make a name for yourself, infiltrate high society, obtain information about the treasure, and steal it completely."

A simple and clear plan.

But this is exactly what Luna wanted.

Therefore, she chose these two skills without hesitation.

[Acting Skills (LV: 1/3): If everything in the world is just part of a stage, then you are undoubtedly a professional actor on that stage.]

[Singing (LV: 1/3): Your singing voice is captivating]

First, consume the skill points given by the gift pack, then reduce the points by 500.

There are 550 points left, enough for one more level up. As for which one to level up, Luna has already decided.

[Singing (LV: 2/3): A heavenly voice, magnificent, needs no further explanation]

The reason is simple—it doesn't matter if the acting is a little bad, because as long as the song is good, it can usually make a qualitative leap in the viewing experience.

It's a musical after all.

8: Do you consider yourself a straight woman? I think I am.

Looking at the remaining 50 points, Luna couldn't help but sigh that the road to becoming stronger was still very long.

However, with the system in place, it's only a matter of time.

"Let's take a look at my spoils last."

An oil painting, a gemstone.

The composition of "Furyn's Smile" is clearly identical to that of the Mona Lisa from the previous era, the only difference being that the figure in it has been changed to Furyn.

Her dignified posture exuded elegance and tranquility, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth was the icing on the cake.

But according to the information she had, the painting was done after Funina was kicked by a cat.

After learning about this, Luna felt like she couldn't hold back her emotions when she looked at the painting again.

However, if you ask her if she likes Funina, her answer is the same as other Fontaines—of course she does.

Like most Fontaines, her fondness for Furna wasn't because Furna was a goddess... but because she found Furna very interesting.

Fryna always possesses an indescribable "dramatic quality".

It's as if the whole world is a stage for her.

"...Looking at it this way, it's actually quite cute."

Luna hasn't decided what to do with the treasures she's acquired yet.

She is not short of money.

Oh well, I'll just keep it as a collectible.

If a phantom thief goes through great lengths to obtain a treasure only to sell it as stolen goods, it would be incredibly degrading.

Luna picked up the Maiden's Tears again and examined it closely.

Crystal clear, shimmering with light... the patterns seem to be constantly flowing, and the sense of life they bring is inexplicably unsettling, as if this beauty were built from sin.

"It doesn't look natural; is it man-made?"

As Luna muttered to herself, she faintly heard a voice in her ear.

"Why....."

"Ok?"

Luna looked around warily, but didn't see anyone.

illusion?

Why did you...?

No, that sound...

Luna's gaze returned to the Maiden's Tears. If she wasn't hallucinating, then the ethereal voice was indeed coming from this gem.

What's going on? The Conch Girl's sister, the Jewel Girl?

She whispered, "Hello?"

"Why....."

"Hello?"

"Why....."

Okay, it's a broken record.

Although they could hear the voice inside the gem, they only ever heard that one sentence.

Luna pondered, "That's strange, why would a gem make that sound? No... wait a minute."

She suddenly remembered something her childhood sweetheart had once said.

"Tears contain the most intense emotions of living beings. If the water element's perception is beyond the normal level, then it may be possible to hear the voice in the tears and feel the emotions within them."

Luna didn't hear anything when she first obtained the gem.

However, she has already unlocked the skill and can now manipulate water elements. Although its use is very limited, it has given her the most basic water element perception.

That's why you can hear the sound of the gemstone.

Tears of a young girl...

Is this a gem made from whose tears?

Luna lay on the bed, gazing thoughtfully at the gem in her hand.

"who are you?"

Why did you...?

Luna lowered her hands and sighed, "It's just endless repetition."

Could it be that her water element is not strong enough?

But leaving it alone was making her restless. She didn't want to pursue the truth, but if she just sat idly by, she wouldn't be able to focus her attention elsewhere.

Let's listen more carefully now.

Close your eyes and feel it carefully.

"Why...why did you lock me in a cage...and send me back...?"

cage?

"Don't kill me..."

Luna was silent for a moment, then got up and went to the board.

Although she had no basis for it, she still thought of a case that happened twenty years ago and remains a hot and mysterious topic to this day.

"Serial Disappearances of Teen Girls." She picked up a newspaper from that day.

Starting from a certain day, every now and then, girls of similar age would disappear without a trace, and no one knew how they vanished.

The voice inside the gemstone sounded very young.

Luna clutched the gem in her hand, thinking, "This gem is one of the victims—but that's a far-fetched idea; there's no evidence or clue whatsoever."
