Chapter 34 (1/2)

Empty Hand did not obtain anything thing from the 40th bandit head but the 40th bandit head did pa.s.sed down to him a skill. Bai Song's future development direction is not that of an ordinary thief.

Currently beside Bai Song is a glimmering longsword, although its design is commanding, no one will doubt the explosive power that this sword contains. But Bai Song only glances at it before walking pa.s.s.

This sword is wrapped with a concealed thread, the technique used to tie the thread around the sword is very brilliant. If Bai Song did not identify it wrongly, the thread used should be Heaven Silk which cannot be cut by blades. Furthermore, there should be other more brilliant traps, hence with Bai Song’s current abilities, it is hard for him to disable it.

With every step that Bai Song takes, the disappointment on his face gets bigger. On every piece of famous equipment, there are concealed traps. The more valuable the equipment, the scarier the traps are.

”Is it possible that the best result is to display my stealing techniques and receive the 40th bandit head’s inheritance skill?” Bai Song does not resign, as the poem says: walking down the ancient path with raised eyebrows, touches the mountain made of treasure and returns empty handed. (Basically, means see and touches but cannot take them)

Bai Song changes his mind and no longer thinks about obtaining this famous G.o.dly equipment, instead looks for an equipment of a slightly lower quality. ”Maybe that way the traps will be much simpler.”

No matter what a lesser gain is better than no gains at all.

In the previous incarnation, Empty Hand is simply too daring, his technique is considered relatively immature but he does not accept it and tries to steal those G.o.d equipment.

As opposed to Empty Hand, Bai Song is considered steadier. The moment greed surfaces, he pushes down his greed immediately. Rationality is the only tool to find the truth.

After Bai Song confirms his target, he does not even glance at the G.o.dly equipment anymore, instead, he changes his target towards the semi-G.o.d equipment. While is he checking through the semi-G.o.d equipment, he also found a few pieces of ghost equipment, among which he recognizes two of them and both of them are comparable to the Three Corpse Ring.

But in the end after searching for half a day, there are only two pieces of semi-G.o.d equipment that he is able to steal but the chances are not high. Bai Song sits on the ground and starts to think. The two pieces of semi-G.o.d equipment are a wand and a s.h.i.+eld.

It is impossible to take both items, no matter which equipment he takes he needs to leave immediately. If he is caught by the 40th bandit head, even if he manages to steal an item, he will not be able to keep it. After all the 40th bandit head is the king of the thieves.

If comparing the value of the equipment, the s.h.i.+eld will definitely be more valuable than the wand, after all a good MT(main tank) determines a group’s power. It can be said that a G.o.dly MT is able to allow his guild to raise by 1 rank, this is the charisma of an MT.

But if he takes the wand, Liu Jing can use it, but Liu Jing might not have the ability to hold it, after all, a person has no crime but harboring a treasure is a crime.

Bai Song is slightly depressed as both of the items are not suitable for him, if he really wanted to try and steal it, he does not have any a.s.surance that he is able to obtain it, perhaps he might even lose both his wife and troops.

[ED: Is this proverb a quote from the art of war?][TL:Yes it is it means he will lose his investment and still need to pay the other person]

At this time, Bai Song opens his backpack to take out a millet porridge to drink and calm down, but when he opened his backpack he freezes. Because he sees a black string, the string that Mayor Xi had given him to steal Cat Maiden's necklace.

It is the Despicable Pa.s.s!

”Should I use it here?” Bai Song's heart is beating very quickly. As for the Despicable Pa.s.s, he does have plans for it, but his current plans are always unable to keep up with the variations that keep popping up.

”It is too wasteful if use this way, furthermore, Despicable Pa.s.s biggest usage is not for stealing items, if it is one of the semi-G.o.d items it may be possible but if using to disarm the traps on the G.o.d equipment it is still quite dangerous.”

After Bai Song’s rough calculations, if he uses the Despicable Pa.s.s to steal the semi-G.o.d equipment, the chances of success are around 80-90% whereas if he uses it to steal a piece of G.o.dly equipment, the chances of success are lower than 30%.

”Try my luck for a Motorbike?” Greedy thoughts are about to overpower Bai Song's rational mind. Although Bai Song keeps shaking his head, his feet are not listening to him and is walking towards the piece of G.o.dly equipment direction.
