Chapter 104: Phantom Thief

Chapter 104: Phantom Thief (First Update)
The shrill sound of sirens rang out in the night sky, and the whole city fell into violent turmoil. One after another, Star Ring police cars sped on the streets, quickly blocking the roads completely.

But just as they were searching for their target, in a high-end bar, a man and two women were sitting at the bar, toasting each other. The guests next to them were not surprised by their calmness. In other words, in this shabby place like Xinghuan, it would be strange if a police car didn't roar a few times one day.

"Isn't it a bit too much that you don't wait for me every time?"

At this moment, the door of the shop suddenly opened, and a young man in plain clothes pushed the door open and walked in. He sat casually next to the three people. The woman who looked relatively slender smiled and said:
"Who asked you to live so far away?"

"I'd like to live closer!"

The young man rolled his eyes in annoyance, took out his credit card and threw it on the bar, then said to the bartender:
"Chiron 33, neat."

"Okay, please wait." The bartender's eyes lit up. After picking up the credit card to pay, he handed it to the young man along with a signature form and a bottle of expensive-looking wine.

"You've only been drinking this for so many years? We're the only ones. Ordinary families can't afford your hobby." The only male in the trio glanced at the bottle and said with emotion. Upon hearing this, the young man casually popped the cork and rudely poured two gulps into his mouth.

"You'll understand once you drink it. The price of this thing is not exaggerated. It's expensive for a reason. It's a pity that most of the No. 13 on the market are fake, otherwise I would really like to try it."

"That's easy..." Before the man could finish his words, the athletic girl next to him suddenly elbowed him, and then rolled her eyes as he cried out in pain, not sure whether it was real or fake.
"Can you understand the market situation before you speak? Do you really think you are the richest man in the world?"

"How exaggerated can it be?" The man seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, but he still pretended to explain it by saying "ignorance". Upon hearing this, the young man shook the wine bottle in his hand that was as dazzling as a jewel, and said with a smile:
"As one of my friends put it, it's enough to buy a military factory."

……

The four of them just sat at the bar, drinking and chatting. They looked like four ordinary rich second-generations who were out for a night out. Even the police who occasionally passed by did not connect them with the big case that had just happened.

These four people were naturally Feng Xue and his classmates. However, of the original seven, plus a few friends who were resurrected from the loser group, there were only him, three, four, and five left. As for number seven who had shown great talent at the beginning...

Three years ago, when he was on a mission, he was implicated by his good friend No. 6 and was sent to jail together. Now he should be serving time in the Beehive.

On the contrary, No. 5 looks ordinary, but he is steady. Although he has encountered some bumps along the way, he still stayed in the team.

Unlike the last time he accidentally entered a strange dream and started working directly, after entering this world, Feng Xue spent the first four years undergoing various trainings.

From the most basic poker face, magician's choice, misdirection, to physical training including a series of circus acrobatics such as aerial trapeze and stepping on a big ball, in comparison, small tricks like hiding a razor blade are not worth mentioning.

After the four-year period was over, Feng Xue really entered a state of time flying. It seemed as if all the rest and entertainment in between were skipped, leaving only one mission after another. From cheating in the casino and petty thefts in the beginning to stealing confidential information and sneaking into the Imperial Museum later, with the accumulation of various tasks, Feng Xue quickly grew into a well-known thief - although he would not leave cards at the scene.

Now, fourteen years have passed since he entered this dream. Apart from the stealing techniques and the fighting skills he learned with his instructors, his biggest gain is actually foreign languages.

Yes, unlike the orchard which was limited to the Qingyun Federation, he had basically been constantly traveling among the four countries and the surrounding vassal states over the years. This allowed him to speak Rainbow Cherry, Star Ring and Shinra languages ​​to the point where the locals could not tell the foreign accent. He had also mastered several local accents and had a general understanding of the customs and practices of various parts of the world.

Of course, because his memory was limited to the mission, most of the scenes he saw were of prosperous areas, but after getting a glimpse of the whole thing, he still had some understanding.

Just as he had thought, the Star Ring Union was quite similar to the Eagle Sauce in his previous life, except that the public facilities were a bit weird - because the large public toilets here actually had an assortment of armed helicopters and eco-friendly shopping bags!

Hongying is not as similar to the Japs as imagined. The main reason is that Hongying's territory is much larger than the Japs. Its system is similar to a constitutional monarchy, but the royal family still holds considerable power. If there is any similarity, it is that the broken place often encounters various natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. The most outrageous thing is that Feng Xue once saw Godzilla land during a mission...

Well, that wasn’t Godzilla, it was just a “relatively” large marine iguana, but a marine iguana that could grow up to eighty meters and move flexibly... Feng Xue felt that apart from the atomic breath, it should be no worse than Godzilla.

But if we want to talk about outrageous things, it has to be the Holy Roman Empire. He thought that the Holy Roman Empire, which has a bit of the temperament of the "Holy Roman Empire", should be a country similar to Europe, but in fact, this broken place actually practices a caste system! Moreover, even in the most prosperous rich areas, pedestrians will defecate on the streets without scruples. The neon lights above the city are flashing, and the ground in the city is filthy. If there were no high-rise buildings, it would be a cyber landscape.

……

The four of them drank in the bar until midnight, until the sound of sirens on the street gradually faded away. Then the four of them supported each other and left the hotel. They each called a taxi and disappeared on the street.

However, forty minutes later, the four met again in a warehouse, but this time, there was no smell of alcohol on them. They just waited silently until the lights in the warehouse suddenly lit up.

"Congratulations on qualifying for the challenge."

The mentor, who looked much older than he was fourteen years ago, still had a poker face and came in front of the four people, clapping his hands gently. But in Feng Xue's eyes, there was still no flaw in the other party.

Seeing that the four people did not respond, the instructor was not surprised. He reached into his arms, took out four cards, and flicked his fingers. The cards flew accurately in front of the four people.

"Snap!" Reaching out to catch the card with great force, Feng Xue glanced at the eagle on it and was about to turn it over when he heard the instructor say:
"Each inherited mission can only be completed alone, and the target content cannot be leaked in any way. You have one month to obtain the target, and you only have one chance."
