[I forgot to tell you, although you look really handsome when you're asleep, the way you do calisthenics in front of thin air really makes you look like a complete goofball.]

[Mind your own business!]

Instead of wasting time arguing with the system, Mo Mo would be better off doing something more meaningful.

It's easy to see that the whole town is full of life, and everyone is working tirelessly for tomorrow.

Even in this kind of world.

Compared to them, Mo Mo really seems out of place.

Those homeless people and beggars on the street are probably more similar.

According to the plot you told me... tonight is when the script officially begins, right?

[If nothing has changed, that should be the case, but something seems off.] Mo Mo couldn't forget what happened yesterday.

Although it's insignificant, it still feels like it reflects something.

What would happen if the Phantom Thief Ziyuan didn't show up?

Mo Mo wandered aimlessly through the streets, his eyes glancing at the faces of passersby.

One thing is certain—this city needs a righteous partner to spread light in the shadows.

Curious?

【...】

Why not give it a try? This is a rare opportunity, and hesitation can be disastrous...

"You'll lose, huh? No need for you to say more." Mo Mo lowered his head and began to think seriously, his rather serious expression causing the system to fall silent as well.

After a long while, Mo Mo raised his head.

[System, I can't figure out how to intervene no matter how hard I try. What should I do?]

[...] I'm speechless about switching systems now.

For transmigrated protagonists like you, isn't this kind of thing a piece of cake? Why would you find it difficult?

[Forget it, never mind.] After racking his brains without finding a solution, Mo Mo simply gave up thinking about it.

[You're giving up already?] Such low motivation is truly astonishing, even though the system doesn't exist.

【Didn't you say that even if I do nothing, something will come knocking on my door? Well, I might as well just sit back and wait for the 'mission' to come to me.】

That's true...

Yesterday they seemed very unwilling, but today they just accepted this situation as a matter of course.

In a sense, it is surprisingly adaptable.

But isn't it a bit too easy for this protagonist to have it?

Just wandering aimlessly around town like this gives the impression of wasting time.

"What sins did I commit to deserve such a worthless idiot like you?" the system murmured in anguish, unable to bear it any longer.

At such a crucial time, most people would be thinking about how to work hard, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, become a CEO, and reach the pinnacle of life. But you're just browsing this website?

You're just a total noob. I gave you the 15 points this round; it's pointless.

Hey, hey, hey, that's going too far! Do you really think I'm just wandering around aimlessly?

Isn't that right?

"I think you're the one with a brain disability. I'm just scouting the place." Mo Mo glanced disdainfully at his empty waist. "The Purple Iris Thief's first target is that scumbag named Victor, so of course I need to find out exactly where his house is."

Moreover, the plot clearly states that what's hidden underground in his house is the truly extraordinary thing.

Beneath Destiny's glamorous exterior lay a cruelty that was the core reason that drove Karen Kaslana to defect.

Even the core artifact, the little black box that imprisoned the Herrscher of Corruption from the last century, was kept there.

If we can solve this problem, we should be able to prevent a series of tragedies from happening next.

But Mo Mo weighed his own weight.

It seems like it's not nearly enough.

Do you know where he lives?

"I can ask, you idiot."

If you want to know something that's only briefly mentioned in the original work, you'll just have to spend time looking for it. Anyway, there's plenty of time, so you can take your time.

[I didn't expect you to actually have a brain. Looks like I underestimated you.] This time, the system actually praised Mo Mo, though it was as annoying as ever. [What are your plans after we find the place?]

At this point, the first reaction would probably be to infiltrate.

Ke Momo's gaze flickered for a moment, "Well..."

His stammering and awkward manner made the system uneasy. [Hey, you wouldn't...]

Let me make this clear first: my strategy is to remain calm and wait patiently, like a fisherman waiting to reap the benefits. It's not something I'm doing for nothing.

The system instantly overturned its evaluation of Mo Mo from ten seconds ago.

[I'm such a fool to believe you!]

Mo Mo clicked his tongue in noncommittal and continued to wander around the streets and alleys, occasionally asking passersby for directions.

"This isn't the right direction. That person wasn't pointing this way. Are you confused?" the system warned.

"You're the one who's confused. I have something more important to do." Mo Mo continued on his way in the opposite direction, oblivious to the danger.

Is there anything else important you need to do?

I'm hungry.

"Mmm, this stuff is delicious." Mo Mo smacked his lips happily, the cream on his lips showing that he had just had a big meal. The sweet taste was a wonderful shock to his tongue, which was almost numb to the taste of birds.

I feel like my whole being has been elevated.

[Look at you, so pathetic! Who was it that was so righteously shouting just hours ago, 'I'd rather starve to death, be smashed to pieces by Honkai Beasts, than eat this handout!'] The system's exasperated voice rang out again, [Where did your unwavering resolve go?]

[I didn't beg. I don't know which kind person gave me this cream bread. They were so careful not to hurt my feelings and didn't let me find out. They were so kind.] Filled with gratitude, Mo Mo licked her fingers. [May good people have a peaceful life.]

[Stop talking nonsense, you spineless coward! Hey! Eat!]

"If you can conjure up some cream bread for me, I'll eat it." Mo Mo rubbed his stomach. "To be honest, I'm still not full."

"Hey, you better use your brain!" The system wanted nothing more than to punch this lazy bum. "How much time have you wasted? The sun's almost setting!"

[Snacks? Where can I find snacks?] Mo Mo immediately looked around, but quickly realized something and coughed twice, looking rather embarrassed.

Looking up, it was indeed time for the sun to set.

Almost everyone around had already gone home to their own mothers.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We've already passed by their door once, it's just a matter of walking back a few steps." Quickly changing the subject, Mo Mo also changed the route. "I'm not bragging, but I'm an absolute savior when it comes to directions, I definitely won't get lost."

Do you really think that as the main character, he was just wandering around for so long doing nothing?

That would be wrong.

After spending most of the day, Mo Mo had basically figured out the area thoroughly.

Although I don't know if it will be useful, it's always better to be prepared.

"Look, look, isn't that Viktor's mansion over there?"

Mo Mo stood at the entrance of the alley and pointed to a luxurious building not far away.

Compared to its surroundings, it stands out like a crane among chickens, exuding the utmost luxury.

Even if you could see it through his belly button, you could tell he's living a really good life.

The saying "Behind the red gates, meat and wine go to waste, while on the road, frozen corpses lie" perfectly describes this scene.

What a wicked capitalist system... no, it should be called the wicked theocracy.

This is the limitation of our times, Mo Zai. Instead of being upset, you should think about your next plan.

【I'm thinking about that too...】Mo Mo looked around and saw two guards standing guard at the door. Although they looked listless and looked like two small fry, they couldn't be treated like scarecrows.

This is really difficult...

Not only could they not eliminate the two guards silently, they couldn't even sneak in silently.

[Should we go all out and just charge in, unleashing a rampage and beating them all up?]

"Then give me a card. I don't ask for much, just a Hyper Muteki. I guarantee I'll charge in and fight my way in seven times without breaking a sweat."

Are you dreaming?

"Then shut up!" Mo Mo patted his waist angrily. "I don't need to explain the consequences of being decisive, do I?"

Anyway, Mo Mo didn't expect to really achieve such a meteoric rise.

[It seems we have no choice but to proceed with Plan B.] After much deliberation, Mo Mo finally finalized his course of action.

【Huh? Tell me about it.】

Mo Mo did not answer the system's question. He took a deep look at Viktor's mansion, then turned and walked into the alley.

The first step is to find a clean place.

The second step is to sit down.

The third step is to sleep...

【Hello!!!】

Mo Mo had to open his eyes again, which he had just closed.

What are you doing?

[Shouldn't I be asking you this? Sleeping before the sun has even set? Are you a pig?]

"The Purple Iris Thief doesn't start her operation until late at night. Do you expect me to just wait until then? Are you a devil?" Mo Mo said matter-of-factly. "I'm just conserving my energy, okay?"
