Ryuzaki Tsukimi's body transformed into a treasure chest, lying alone amidst shell casings and shards of glass.

Huang Tang walked over and opened it.

The system space now contains over three hundred survival coins, a bunch of miscellaneous materials, several guns, and some food and medicine.

"Poor wretch."

Huang Tang muttered something to himself and pocketed everything.

This morning, he used his [Future Thief] ability to check Ryuzaki Tsukimi's system space and knew exactly what resources were there. He had already stolen the most valuable 25-story blueprints beforehand; what was left wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.

"Even a small mosquito is still meat."

Huang Tang clapped his hands and stood up.

I feel no sympathy whatsoever for these dead little people.

If we don't kill them, we'll be the ones who die once they find an opportunity!

Huang Tang turned to face the robot police officers around him, puffed out his chest, and struck a dignified pose.

"I've killed the wanted criminal's accomplice!" His voice echoed across the square. "Continue the citywide manhunt; do not let this five-star wanted criminal escape!"

"Yes, Superintendent!"

All the robot police responded in unison and dispersed in formation. Patrol drones took off, and helicopters flew away.

They never imagined that the five-star wanted criminal they had been searching for was standing right in front of them, issuing orders.

Chae Rim watched the last robot policeman disappear around the street corner and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where to next?" she asked.

Huang Tang opened the system panel and recalled the distribution of supplies that he had scanned with the [Eye of God] yesterday.

"Administrative centers, energy hubs, bank vaults... these three places are the most lucrative. But once you make a move, it's easy to trigger alarms, and your identity could be exposed."

"Then where else?"

"The resources in other places are too scarce, so I'm not interested..." Huang Tang pondered. "But for other players, those places are considered very wealthy."

"Take this shopping mall behind us, for example. It's piled high with food and materials. Most players would be overjoyed to go in."

Chae Rim: "But you don't think so."

"I don't like it," Huang Tang said frankly. "It's not a waste of time."

"We should search for the most valuable items: blueprints, treasure chests, survival coins, and the like."

Chae Rim asked, "So what do you want to do?"

Huang Tang's eyes lit up: "The rich neighborhood."

"A wealthy neighborhood?"

"right!"

Huang Tang pointed to a brightly lit villa area on a distant hill, "Based on my understanding of this game, there must be good stuff in that kind of place."

"And..." he smiled even more wickedly, "Now that I have the rank of First Superintendent, I must make good use of it."

Chae Rim laughed too: "So you're planning to use someone else's power to the very end..."

The two got into the police car left behind by the robot police.

Huang Tang stepped on the gas, and the flying car took off, drawing an arc in the air as it flew towards the wealthy neighborhood.

Cai Lin glanced back and lowered her voice, "There are several players following us."

Huang Tang didn't even turn his head: "I noticed it a long time ago."

Aren't you worried?

"What are you worried about? The little supplies they have aren't even enough to waste my time on," Huang Tang scoffed. "As long as they're not in my way, I'm too lazy to kill them."

The police car sped through the air and soon arrived at the entrance to the wealthy district.

This place is completely different from the rest of the city.

Each villa boasts a private villa, garden pool, and private helipad, exuding both cutting-edge technology and ultimate luxury. The villas are spaced hundreds of meters apart, surrounded by lush greenery resembling a forest park.

There are robotic security guards at the entrance, and the scanning equipment is complete.

Huang Tang's police car drove straight over. The robot security guard scanned his identity, immediately saluted, and let him pass.

Several other players wanted to follow, but were rudely stopped by the robot security guard.

"Halt! Unregistered vehicles are prohibited from entering!"

The players were forced to stop their car and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Boss, didn't you say those two were players? How come the robot security guard let them in?" one of the underlings asked.

The leader was a lean young man. He frowned as he watched the police car drive away and shook his head.

"My talent, [Eye of Truth], can see through any disguise without fail. Those two are indeed players."

"How can they command robot police? And even enter wealthy neighborhoods?"

"The specific reason is unclear." The leading player pondered, "I originally wanted to follow them and get some benefits, but now it seems I won't even get any."

Another henchman leaned over and whispered, "Boss, should we wait here for them to come out? How about we rob them? They'll definitely be able to loot a lot of good stuff when they go in."

The leader of the players glared at him: "Are you stupid? They can mobilize the entire city's armed forces. If you want to rob them, don't drag me down with you."

The younger brother shrank his neck.

The leader's eyes darted around, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on his face.

"However, perhaps we won't need to rob anyone to get a taste of the soup."

"What method?"

"We recorded the whole process of them killing that jerk," the leader of the players chuckled. "If they don't want to become that jerk's public enemy, they'll have to pay some hush money."

The other henchmen's eyes lit up: "Incredible!"

"But..." the leading player changed the subject, "Based on my years of experience reading novels, the best way to keep someone's secret is to shut them up forever."

"We're definitely no match for them. To avoid being silenced, we need to come up with a safer approach."

"What method?" the henchmen asked in unison.

The leader of the group kicked one of them in anger: "All you do is ask, ask, ask! Are you pigs? Can't you use your brains and think for yourselves?!"

The underlings covered their buttocks, looking aggrieved.

……

In an affluent area.

Huang Tang and Cai Lin started knocking on the doors of the first villa.

The door opened.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman wearing a nightgown. The nightgown was made of silk, thin and sheer, revealing glimpses of what lay beneath.

Her hair was tied up, and she wore light makeup. Although she was not young, she was well-maintained and still had a charming appearance.

She paused slightly after recognizing Huang Tang as a first-class police superintendent.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

Huang Tang's face was stern, and his tone was serious: "A five-star wanted criminal has infiltrated the city, and we are conducting a city-wide manhunt. Please cooperate with the investigation."

The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and instinctively stood in front of the door: "Our security here is the best; it's impossible for any wanted criminals to get in."

Huang Tang noticed that her eyes were somewhat evasive, as if she was hiding something.

Please cooperate!

He emphasized his words.

The middle-aged woman remained blocking the doorway, showing no intention of moving aside.

Huang Tang stopped wasting words and went straight in.

"you--!"

The middle-aged woman tried to stop her.

Huang Tang turned around and gave her a cold look: "If you obstruct official business again, I'll arrest you!"

The middle-aged woman was intimidated by his imposing manner, shut her mouth, and followed him inside with a grim expression.

Huang Tang walked into the living room and was stunned.

In the living room, a dozen or so men and women were lying haphazardly on the sofa...
