”I knew it's [Pickpocket]!” Wang Yu said excitedly after getting the skillbook.

Although Wang Yu looked down on Yoda for stealing with a skill, the skill did leave a strong impression on him. To be able to remove someone's equipments with a wave of hand, was the proof that the skill was overpowered.

Hence, Wang Yu was already thinking about whether Yoda would drop the skillbook for [Pickpocket] during the fight. He did not expect the system to be so kind and drop just what he had wanted.

The players in Team Storm all looked at Wang Yu with envy. In the skill tree for thieves in >, there was no such skill as [Pickpocket]. Even the hidden branch jobs did not have such a skill.

Despite being called ”Thief”, all the job could do was picking locks. Even the branch job ”Godhand”, was merely better at lock picking. A skill like [Pickpocket] was something that they never dared to think about.

[Pickpocket] was a skill that allowed one to steal whatever items he wanted, at the mere risk of losing experience points in the case of failure. That was not much different from hacking someone's account directly. With such a skill, only a dumbass would fail to become an expert.

Hidden dungeon was worthy of its name indeed. Even a starting boss could drop something like [Pickpocket]. There was no telling what kind of godly items would the coming bosses drop.

Wang Yu took a few more glances at the skillbook, and continued looking for loots on Yoda's body.

Team Storm dared not complain about Wang Yu taking the skillbook. Had it not been Wang Yu, they would not have even completed the quest, not to mention getting their equipments back. They knew to be content about their situation.

The last item was a quest item called ”Elf Queen's Letter of Recommendation”. There was no description for its use, so Wang Yu kept it for himself.

After he was done, Wang Yu shot a fierce glance at Yoda's boss. As a boss, it had only dropped one valuable item, that was stingy of Yoda.

However, according to the system's settings, bosses in hidden dungeons would drop all the equipments they had on them. There was also a setting to prevent players like Wang Yu from forcefully stealing the bosses' equipments. In such scenarios, the equipments that were stolen from the bosses would have no properties, making them unusable.

Since there would always be black sheeps in any crowd, the system had to prevent players like Wang Yu from doing whatever they wanted to.

If Wang Yu had not forcefully taken the two weapons form Yoda, he would have gotten two more gold grade equipments from Yoda's body.

Ignorance was bliss. If Wang Yu knew about the system settings, he would be so regretful for his actions.

After Yoda was slain, Team Storm's quest was completed.

In appreciation of Wang Yu's help, they decided to help Wang Yu with his mission as well.

Wang Yu wanted to them that they would be a burden to him, but that would be uncourteous of him. Wang Yu had no choice but to accept their help unwillingly.

When the group entered the village in Wonderland Forest, they felt like they had entered another world.

The village was spacious and covered in sunshine. It was even more beautiful than the tree that the elves, who were known to be elegant, lived on.

The beautiful greeneries, the floating petals, and the lively insects, all made the village vibrant and energetic.

The residents of the village were all gnomes. However, it was puzzling that all the NPCs in the village appeared as common citizens. It meant that these residents were not monsters, and cannot be attacked.
