The weird game of the ancient gods

Unexpectedly, just as he climbed onto the roof and was about to leave, there was suddenly a rapid ringing of bells in the distance. He looked in the direction of the sound. The bells were coming from the direction of the Duke of Beauval's residence. Watch a group of guards hurrying in that direction, with several agents in black following behind.

Oops, it seems that someone has reported the crime. I'm afraid I can't steal anymore. If the guards in Shangcheng District are prepared, it will be difficult to take action. Those Stormwind City guards Xia Yu didn't take it seriously, I'm afraid they are afraid of military intelligence. Agents from Section 7 are involved. It would not be good if they were discovered.

It's a pity that I have only stolen five houses, and I am still far away from achieving the achievement.

Xia Yu checked the progress of the achievement mission and was suddenly stunned. The progress of the Shadowless Thief became 0%, while the progress of the Flying Thief increased to 60%.

How is this going? I only stole from five houses, where did the extra 10% come from?

While he was hesitating, the progress bar rose again, reaching 70%.

His mind turned around and he probably thought of a possibility.

It is very likely that the progress is settled in two steps, once for successful theft, and again when someone discovers the theft and publicizes it so that more people know of his existence.

At the same time, because someone discovered the black rose that he left behind to represent his identity, it meant that it was no longer a perfect crime, so the progress of the Shadowless Thief would naturally return to zero.

This is quite simple. I have stolen from five houses. As long as all five houses report the crime, the achievement progress of the flying thief should be increased to 100%.

But those two who had a pile of gold hidden in their home would not dare to report the crime, right?

And Countess Katrana Presto, she would definitely be even less vocal, so she might have to steal a few more times.

But that’s it for today. Anyway, there are still seven days left. I have plenty of opportunities, so I’m not in a hurry.

Before that, let’s get all the equipment ready.

The reason why Xia Yu didn't dare to take action rashly in the dungeon just now was that he couldn't guess the origin of that person, and secondly, he didn't have confidence in his own equipment.

With his white leather armor, two green weapons, and even some basic props for thieves, he would definitely suffer a loss in a fight.

Now that I have money, I just want to buy some equipment. Next time I meet that mysterious man, I can give it a try.

In the game, when players want to buy equipment, they usually go to the auction house to buy it. If they want to buy various props for thieves, they can go directly to MI7 to buy them. There are also some items that need to be made by themselves, such as various bombs from engineering majors.

But you definitely can't do this in reality, just like you can't go to the police station to buy a gun or bullets from the police. You can go to the auction.

However, when Xia Yu went to the auction and asked about it, he found out that the auction was held as scheduled, once a week. It had only been held three days ago, and he would have to wait three days for the next one.

Xia Yu then went to the leather armor shop and wandered around. As expected, there were only whiteboard shop clothes for sale.

Fortunately, there is still another place where you can buy what Xia Yu wants, and that is the Thieves Guild.

Xia Yu went straight to the old city. Generally, the thieves guilds in games are either in the sewers or basements. In short, they are in various dark corners.

And they are usually in relatively shabby places. Xia Yu wandered around the sewers in the old city for a while, and a dagger-shaped mark caught his sight. According to the common sense among thieves in his mind, it was a symbol of thieves. Code words, similar to road signs, there must be a thieves guild nearby.

After searching for a while in the direction the dagger pointed, I found a wooden door in a small alley. In an inconspicuous corner of the door, there was a mark with two daggers crossed.

This is it, Xia Yu knocked on the door, bang bang bang.

A gap opened in the door, and a pair of alert eyes looked towards Xia Yu.

"Who's out there?"

"A guest doing dirty business?"

"How many pounds of dirty work are you going to do?"

"There are too many to count."

"what to buy?"

"The iron in your hand is the wind in your ears."

The code word is correct.

The man nodded, opened the door, and Xia Yu walked in. Inside was a very dark tavern, a few listless guests, and a coquettish and charming proprietress, but these were naturally just a cover-up.

Xia Yu walked straight towards the corner, kicked open the secret door with his foot, and jumped in lightly. Below was a dark tunnel that seemed to be connected to the nearby sewer, and the smell of corruption could be vaguely smelled.

This thieves guild really doesn't have a good reputation. Xia Yu sighed and walked into the darkness ahead.

After following the mark several times, a faint candlelight suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead. Xia Yu took a few steps and saw in front of him a spacious hall connected to the sewer.

The buildings on the ground of Stormwind City had been destroyed as early as the Second Orc War.

However, the sewers of Stormwind City have been completely preserved. During the war, they even provided shelter to some refugees. The complex terrain made it a perfect hiding place, whether it was gangsters who killed people or smuggled illegal goods underground. Businessmen, or fugitives who have committed crimes and want to avoid capture, can find a place to stay here.

When these people come together and set rules for everyone to be safe, they become the so-called Thieves Guild, a place where filth and evil are hidden. The empty hall is illuminated by only a few candles, but for the thieves, the darkness That's the best friend.

Xia Yu looked around, his sharp eyes easily piercing the darkness.

There are more than a dozen people here, and none of them look like good people, and most of them are indeed not good people. To put it bluntly, the Thieves Guild is a gathering place for shady people. There are Syndicate thieves from Alterac and assassins who are paid to kill people. , there are also underground vendors who resell various contraband, and there may even be people from the Defias Brotherhood hanging around here. Of course, they will definitely not wear a red mask on their face.

An assassin in black wearing a mask suddenly stood up. "Friend, are you here to do something red? 'Dark Fang' Morris is at your service at any time."

Xia Yu glanced at him indifferently, "He's doing dirty things."

The murderous assassin was immediately deflated and sat back to his original position.

Xia Yu walked up to a dwarf in bloated clothes. The dwarf was wearing a black eyepatch. His one eye was not as honest and cheerful as ordinary dwarves. Instead, it had a treacherous look. His beard was curled up, giving him a bit of a pirate feel. .

There was a shabby blanket spread in front of him, and there were many boxes and barrels around him. At first glance, he was selling illegal goods.

Knowing that there was a sale, the dwarf smiled honestly, "Friend, what do you want to buy?"

"A lot of things. First of all, I want a complete set of equipment for thieves, including lock-picking tools, flash powder, blinding powder, quick-acting poison, deadly poison, paralyzing poison. In short, give me a set of them all, and give me two hundred throwing knives. It's better. Yes, don't use scrap metal to replenish your supplies. Get a set of thieves' equipment, full-body leather armor, weapons, and accessories. It's best if they are all enchanted with attributes. I don't want the blank one.

The dwarf looked surprised when he heard this, "This costs a lot of money, are you sure you can afford it?"

Xia Yu smiled slightly and took out a box of gold coins from his bag.

Greedy glances were immediately cast from the surroundings. A box of gold coins was certainly valuable, but the space props that could hold the box of gold coins were also extremely precious. Generally, only rich mages could afford them.

A hint of surprise flashed in the dwarf's eyes when he saw it, but it immediately turned nervous. He shouted loudly to the people around him, "What are you looking at? Have you not seen gold coins? Stay away from me."

This dwarf seemed to have some status here. Everyone else turned their faces away, but they still peeked over from time to time.

Xia Yu was not afraid. He placed one hand on the handle of the cunning blade at his waist, ready to fight at any time.

According to the rule book generally recognized among thieves, the book "The Rules of Thieves" written by Duke Ravenholdt states in detail that thieves are not allowed to attack other thieves in the thieves guild, whether it is stealing, robbing, assassinating, Poisoning is not allowed, and anyone who violates the Thieves' Code becomes an enemy of all other Thieves.

But this kind of thing is always just a suggestion, not an actual rule.

No one who can hide here is a good person. As long as they have enough benefits, they don't even care about the law. What's wrong with violating the Thieves' Code? .

He didn't mind doing it here. The feeling of killing people before made him a little obsessed. If he could slaughter this place, he might be able to get some achievements, such as [Black and Black Eater] or something.

But it seems like the people here are pretty well-behaved and no one is doing anything.
