Chapter 1501 Children, Evil Party, Curiosity

Blaze occasionally has nightmares. He would lie in bed sleeping, and suddenly frown and cold sweat would break out on his face, as if he was having a nightmare within a nightmare.

He woke up suddenly, sat up, covered his forehead and gasped for breath. Then he saw a dark figure bending over with his back to him, touching his cabinet.

He was a blessed one, or to be more precise, a stranger was stealing his things, and what was even more terrifying was that it was not a nightmare.

At that time, Blaze neither screamed nor shouted "Catch the thief", but instead complained silently.

No, brother, it’s ok for you, a blessed one, to steal things, but why do you even spare the poor?

The blessed person also answered humorously that if he missed a house, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

It is said that the stranger who stole his things raided the entire Balkan city that night, even the toilets were not spared, and he was finally wanted. The wanted list also listed the total amount of property that the thief had stolen.

Several iron swords, a shield, some gems, and some miscellaneous items, totaling 1000 gold coins.

1000 gold coins is a considerable number, but it is the final cumulative result of the thief's busy work all night, stealing from every house without missing a single one.

Although Balkan City is not a developed city, the daily expenses of all residents add up to more than 1000 gold coins.

Fortunately, this thief, a stranger, stole things in a very open and aboveboard manner, like a guest visiting at night, so he did not scare any residents.

Now that I think about it, the strangers who first visited this world were a group of genuine villains. They rarely spent money in stores and just robbed things. If there were guards coming to catch them, they would rob the guards as well. They were truly insane.

It's just that sometimes they display such a thick-skinned and stupid behavior that people focus all their attention on their weird behavior.

Hebie has the most say in this. She was initially in charge of the running division, which, as the name suggests, is the transportation department, specializing in transporting goods to areas not covered by the teleportation tower.

The Running Division is the least promising department of [Hermes's Travel Hat]. Its efficiency is completely inferior to the transmission tower network, and the goods it transports are only large-volume, low-value daily necessities.

It was precisely because of the contempt for the Running Division within the Hermes Brigade that Hebi, a little girl with only ten years of experience, was promoted to the position of Division Chief.

And Herbie also proved one thing, that is, if she was given a fulcrum, she could lift up the world. The most unpromising department became a hotbed for her rapid growth and expansion, and the roots of her network spread to those unnoticed corners.

Many of Hebi's current connections were made after he became the head of the Running Division and continued to explore places not covered by the teleportation tower.

The stranger who visited the world for the first time dealt Hebi a heavy blow. It was unknown which stranger suddenly came to an idea. Instead of robbing shops, it would be better to rob suppliers directly.

The Running Division, which was already vulnerable to attacks by bandits, was made even worse. Just one year after he became the head of the Running Division, he faced the crisis of disbanding the Running Division because of a stranger who had arrived for less than a month.

Speaking of this now, Herbie was holding his chest and almost fainted. Who could have endured the ups and downs of spending ten years to finally climb up to a platform where he could show his talents, and then seeing the platform being torn down?

But Hebie was the kind of person who would go crazy and gamble when she was in a desperate situation. Just like when she and Audrey were being hunted, she chose to do business with Greenland. When the stranger wanted to ruin her career, she also gambled wildly. However, unlike the gambling with Greenland at that time, she was not desperate enough to go up and talk to the stranger in person, but sent a fearless person as a substitute to do business with the stranger.

As a result, Herbie of course got the answer he wanted, which was that the stranger was not a mentally ill lunatic or a born villain.

But in a sense, it is even more terrifying, because it has a [strong curiosity].

There is only one reason why they rob, and that is because they are allowed to do so.

Not in the sense that the law or custom allowed them to do so specifically, but in a more abstract sense, the world did not prevent them from robbing.

According to the strangers, they can enter infinite worlds, most of which restrict their actions, such as things in shops can only be bought but not stolen.

This prohibition is mandatory, preventing them from touching the goods in the shops, so no matter which world they come to, they have to try to see if they can.

But this answer, which sounded even more terrifying, actually triggered Herbie's counterattack under great pressure. The stranger was not unwilling to spend money to buy things, he just wanted to try to rob.

They are essentially just a group of kids having fun.

Then this is not a lasting disaster, but more like a minor discomfort before a huge change.

"This guy talked a lot the whole day just to convince us not to abandon the running branch. Foreigners will soon get tired of snatching and will be willing to pay honestly." Kullene patted his head. "God knows why I suddenly thought about it and agreed with Hebi's words at that time."

"Logically speaking, this behavior is like waiting for a group of vicious robbers to find their conscience."

"So~ didn't I say that at the time?" Hebi rolled his eyes at Kullene and crossed his arms, "They are [children], so we have to deal with strangers the same way we deal with children."

"Then how did you deal with it?"

Blaze asked curiously. The Stranger's change was a little sudden. At that time, he thought that the Stranger had a change of heart. Now it seemed that it was related to Herbie, who was the first to understand the Stranger's true nature.

"It's simple. I'll have someone tell the strangers that if you do something like this again, everyone will hate you and won't talk to you anymore."

This is like telling a robber that if he does bad things again, he will hate him. The robber will just laugh and continue robbing without caring.

But the stranger was not a robber, but a [child]. He would never speak to you again, which produced a very strong and strange reaction, and the stranger immediately stopped.

Not only did he stop robbing, he was even willing to do tasks like running errands and delivering mail, as if he was truly afraid of [not talking to them anymore], and now he has become a hero to the world.

But we should not forget their nature because they are still [children]. If we provoke and offend them and let them think they are [righteous], it will be a disaster.
