Chapter 36 Theft Skills

"The Great Swordsman's experience capsule just now cost 500 million?"

Nami calculated the price, feeling extremely envious, but powerless to do anything about it.

She has been stealing all these years.

He was already a very wealthy thief. Even though he had to secretly support the villagers' life-saving money every month, he was still able to accumulate 80 million Berries.

For an average person, the monthly salary would be at most 100,000 yen.

"Can you make it cheaper?"

Nami said pitifully.

Fang Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "There are no special offers at the moment, but there might be discounts during game events."

"Furthermore, purchasing items in the store requires a purchase permission, and your initial player level simply cannot afford expensive items."

"Shady businessman!"

Nami muttered to herself, then gritted her teeth and said, "You can level up by hunting polluted monsters, right?"

Fang Yi nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, you can get reward points and valuable equipment. To be honest, you can earn more money by putting your energy into the Reincarnation Game than you can as a thief."

Hearing this, Nami was very tempted.

Each time she went to sea, she painstakingly infiltrated pirate ships, doing dirty and tiring jobs, living in constant fear, and the treasure she stole was only a few hundred thousand Berries.

Ordinary pirates are just ordinary people who go to sea relying on their strength and ferocity. They are not very capable and at most plunder small villages, making very little money.

"Oops!"

Nami screamed and jumped up, rushing into the Soul-Snatching Forest.

I didn't realize it at first, but those monsters were all made of golden gold, and one of them could be exchanged for 50,000 Berries.

but,

Nami soon discovered that hunting monsters was not as easy as she had imagined.

In the deep, lush forest, a drowned ghost, swollen all over and shrouded in deathly aura, had festering, white skin that looked like a bulging, solid steamed bun.

The pirates' and guards' weapons struck as if they were cutting into a thick, soft cushion.

It's like a layer of armor, completely unable to harm the drowned ghost.

By the time the attacker tried to draw his weapon, the drowned ghost had already sprayed corrosive acid, burning him so badly he was rolling on the ground in agony.

To successfully hunt, at least two people need to work together.

"Otruk?"

Nami suddenly noticed a middle-aged nobleman mixed in with the guards.

He was almost dragged to the bottom of the sea by a pirate's grappling hook on the merchant ship because of his clumsy movements, but now the pot-bellied guy is able to fight the drowned ghost to a standstill.

Was it because of that weapon?

Nami has sharp eyes and immediately spotted the curved sword in the middle-aged nobleman's hand.

Taking advantage of the chaos during the hunt for the drowned ghost, she acted decisively, picking up a rock to knock out an inconspicuous guard before putting on the guard's uniform.

Unaware of what was happening, Otruk, with the help of his guards, killed the drowned ghost whose body was covered in knife wounds.

at this time,

Nami quickly reached out to snatch the curved sword, but as her hand touched the hilt, words popped up in front of her eyes.

[Without mastering the life skill [theft], one cannot steal equipment from other players.]

Otruk was startled and quickly gripped his scimitar.

However, lacking combat experience, he was immediately grabbed by the neck by Nami at close range, causing the guards to hesitate to make a move.

"Give me the scimitar, or I'll kill you!"

Nami looked fierce when she said this, but she was actually very nervous inside.

She has never killed anyone.

Although it's clear that death in a reincarnation game can consume reward points to revive, and isn't considered a real death, there are still some conflicts.

However, Otrulk was clearly frightened by Nami's feigned demeanor and quickly waved away the guards who were trying to rush forward.

"Don't kill me, I'll give myself to you."

Otruk was about to hand over the scimitar, but suddenly his face hardened, and he swung the scimitar at his back.

This scimitar was equipment he purchased from the game's in-game store.

A full two hundred reward points.

He's only worth a mere million Berries to be resurrected; he'll surely be able to calculate that.

By deliberately crashing into the sharp pebbles in Nami's hand, Ottoluk's entire body turned into a faint white light, and he was revived.

Nami has already escaped thanks to her agile skills.

"Is it necessary to master theft skills to steal players' equipment?"

Nami was not discouraged; instead, her eyes lit up.

She took out all her savings, a total of 80 million Berries, and exchanged them for 800 reward points.

[Purchase of [Beginner Theft Roll] successful. This roll grants you the basic life skill: Theft.]

"As expected of Nami."

Fang Yi was both amused and exasperated, and really wanted to applaud her.

Eight hundred reward points are enough to buy a set of low-quality equipment in the game store, or to purchase a white skill item.

Although you still need to run away when facing the White-Clad Demon, with the attribute bonuses from the equipment, you can hunt the Drowned Demon on your own.

However, the thief lady, who was somewhat famous in the East China Sea, actually abandoned her hunt for the drowned ghost and turned her attention to the players.

"Life skills require a long time to develop, and the success rate of basic theft is very low; you could end up losing everything."

Fang Yi glanced at Nami and, using the same trick, slipped into Otrulk's guard.

He kept his head down and followed the middle-aged nobleman, working very hard to help the guards hunt down the five drowned ghosts before quickly running away.

Otruk didn't even realize what was happening. When he realized something was missing, he angrily slashed his scimitar at the tree trunk.

This is how it is recorded in Nami's log.

[You attempted to steal from the player, but failed.]

[You attempted to steal from the player, but failed.]

[You initiated a theft attack on the player...]

……

[You successfully used the Steal skill on the player and obtained the Drowned Ghost Leather Armor (White) *1]

Nami, beaming with joy, put the spoils into her equipment slots.

moment,

It seemed as if the power was becoming stronger.

This Drowned Ghost Leather Armor cost Aurtec 300 reward points when he bought it, making it more valuable than the scimitar.

I never expected it to be stolen.

Behind the screen,

Fang Yi was equally dumbfounded, and said with a sneer, "A basic theft technique should alert the player if it fails. Nami used it more than ten times and perfectly avoided it each time. Should I say her theft technique is superb?"

They have very flexible life skills.

There are two release modes: one is fully automatic release, which is limited by skill level.

Another type is free release, which requires players to control the timing of activation. For example, in real life, after a blacksmith masters forging skills, the success rate of the finished product will be higher than that of ordinary players when he hammers and forges with the help of techniques and methods.

Although I knew Nami was skilled at theft and could steal everyone's wallets in the blink of an eye when saying goodbye to the villagers of Cocoyasi, I didn't expect her to be this strong.

The trials that followed were essentially Nami's theft show.

Is the success rate of basic theft techniques low?

It's okay.

Nami infiltrated the Black Cat Pirates, skillfully lowering their guard before unleashing her thieving techniques on the two seemingly wealthiest cat pirates.

[You successfully used the Steal skill on the player and obtained 1 Drowned Ghost Boots]

……

[You successfully stole from the player and obtained 2 wet foot bindings.]

[You successfully stole from the player and obtained Drowned Ghost Leather Pants*1]

When the trial period ends,

Nami, who killed two drowned ghosts, somehow managed to collect all three pieces of the [Drowning Ghost] set effect, and also ended up with a short sword belonging to some unlucky guy.
