Chapter 36: c.r.a.p, There’s Another Person Beneath The Blanket!

Yue Qiang could not shake the feeling that this quarter pump chump Ai Qian had appeared too unexpectedly, and while he was speaking, it was as if he had placed a trap just waiting for him to fall in. But even with such a premonition, he still wanted to give it a try. He had his own ideas as well.

Since the village elder had given him this quest, it meant that they should have the ability to help him escape from this place. It’s just that there was just this something that was missing in between escaping from this place and running with his tail behind his legs to the Mo Family’s Great Camp and call for help.

And that thing, was called value.

Yue Qiang did not know how powerful the Mo Family’s Great Camp was, but he had personally experienced Zhao Army’s strength already. A sergeant alone could chase him throughout the whole mountain, and he could not measure at all their general Zhao Yan’s true strength. He did not know what kind of place the Mo Family’s Great Camp was, but if they were to come over to help strike at the Zhao Army – even if they did win – it would not be without a price.

And what did he have that was worth the Mo Family’s Great Camp to make such a sacrifice? The village elder’s letter? This thing would probably not be useful in a situation like this. That was why Yue Qiang had thought of that other item.

The Ring of Earth!

When Ai Qian had requested him to help steal something for him, this crazy idea suddenly appeared in Yue Qiang’s mind.

He would steal the Ring of Earth as well while he was stealing that pill!

This was the only treasure described by the village elder Chen Zi Han that was valuable enough as a chance to exchange help from the other party!

The main reason Zhao Yan’s army had attacked Yue Village was for the Ring of Earth, so the protection around this item must be very tight – it might even be kept right beside Zhao Yan. Originally, there was not the slightest bit of chance that he could steal it, but because of Ai Qian’s sudden appearance, he was now given such an opportunity.

Even if the risks were high, he must grab hold onto this opportunity!

Yue Qiang pushed the door and entered the house.

He first clicked the X key to crouch down, then used the cursor to click at the bottommost area of the door. He dragged the cursor upward a small distance before finally pus.h.i.+ng his way in.

This was the experience he acquired running in and out often from his rented house: if he pushed the door directly, it would give out a ‘creak’ noise and very easily alert the person inside it. By controlling his cursor to lift the door a little before pus.h.i.+ng it forwards, he might be able to eliminate this noise (T/N: … why is there a need for you to sneak into your own house/room in the first place, Yue Qiang?).

This little bit of control from Yue Qiang was a complete blind act. He had just subconsciously did it feeling that, since the game was so realistic, the method to eliminate the creaking noise of a wooden door – something that would only happen in real life – would be reflected inside the game as well.

And he guessed correctly.

There really was not a bit of noise when he opened the door.

He controlled his character and took very, very slow steps into the house.

He was very familiar with the village elder Chen Zi Han’s house. The bed was at his opposite, and the desk was at the right.

The person on the bed was sleeping with his back facing towards him. Although he couldn’t see the face, but from the person’s stalwart stature it was obvious that he was Zhao Yan. There was a huge sword on the writing desk. It was the same huge sword that was swung at him during the day. The blade of the sword was s.h.i.+ning; not only was it unnaturally sharp, it was obvious that it might be enchanted with some good effects or magic as well. Right beside the huge sword was the box Ai Qian had mentioned about.

Yue Qiang slowly walked forwards and lightly grabbed the box in his hands.

The whole stealing process had been incredibly easy without the slightest bit of incident whatsoever. Yue Qiang knew that the quest was completed, and all he needed to do now was to obediently return to Ai Qian. He would acquire a more convenient method to complete his main quest, with an extra opportunity to get his weapon appraised as well. He had already profited much from this endeavour.

However, he did not retreat. Instead, he s.h.i.+fted a few slow steps forwards.

A ring the size of a normal bracelet was revealed beneath Zhao Yan’s pillow. This ring was filthy with rusty stains all over it. It looked incredibly dirty and perfectly ordinary.

However, when Yue Qiang saw this ring his eyes gradually narrowed into slits.

Zhao Yan’s sheets were very clean, but this ring was very dirty. However, this very dirty ring did not dirty the very clean sheets.

This wasn’t the game artist being lazy or a pixel error. What appeared to be an inconspicuous detail had actually affirmed the suspicion in Yue Qiang’s heart even further.

This was definitely the Ring of Earth! Even though he had not seen it with his own eyes before, but if it was just a common item, then who would put it beside their pillow?

Yue Qiang’s feelings were a little excited.
