Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Hearing Shangguan Lin say that, Chen Feng could only give her an innocent look.

"My image in Miss Lin's eyes can't be that bad, can it? Besides, I think I just saved you."

"Who can say for sure what one's image is?"

Shangguan Lin chuckled as she released Chen Feng, took the car keys from his hand, and skillfully opened the door, got in, started the car, and called out to Chen Feng as she did so:

"Let's go, they'll realize what's going on soon. Let's leave here first and then deal with the car."

"Ah."

Chen Feng nodded without saying anything. After getting into the passenger seat, the car started and sped away with a roar.

It wasn't until ten minutes after the two left that this happened.

The pursuit team, led by Sun Luo, finally arrived.

Seeing the car that had already been driven away, how could the two people from before not realize they had been tricked?

This caused the two men another wave of heartache. They were heartbroken that their car had been stolen, but more importantly, they had watched helplessly as two opportunities to make a fortune slipped away! They had let them go themselves!

Sun Luo, meanwhile, gazed into the distance, his expression grave. The ability to switch between his disguise and his true self in such a short time reminded him of someone…

……

"From May 7th to 15th, 2051, on Galvis Island, at the Labyrinth Ball, the official program team extends invitations to participants of the Thief Game from all over the world."

"A treasure chest deep within the labyrinth, a red coral-shaped gem, the [Crimson World Tree]..."

Looking at the information in the newspaper, Chen Feng finally understood what had happened.

"Was it a personal invitation from the official program team? It was sent to the contestants, but there's only one treasure chest. Plus, with the pursuit team watching from the sidelines, even if the item is stolen in the end, quite a few people will get caught in the process. It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it..."

"So, are you interested in this?"

Shangguan Lin came out of the kitchen carrying a coffee tray and placed the coffee cups in front of Chen Feng.

"After all, it's an invitation from the government, so I'm still interested."

Chen Feng smiled and put the newspaper aside, picked up the still-steaming coffee, took a sip, and praised it without reservation: "It tastes good."

"I'm glad you like it."

Shangguan Lin, now dressed in a purple cashmere mini-skirt, sat down on the chair next to Chen Feng, her shapely legs crossed. She glanced at the newspaper Chen Feng had just put down, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of curiosity as she looked at him.

"You didn't know about this?"

Chen Feng shook his head.

The reason he suddenly chose to return was that he learned that something had happened to Amya. He originally wanted to go directly to Amya's location in the Kingdom of Lorqing, but he noticed some activity here by chance, so he came to take a look.

But he unexpectedly ran into Shangguan Lin.

"Where are Xiaoxi and Xiaomeng? Don't you always go together? Why are you the only one here?"

"Xiao Meng is sick, and Xiao Xi stayed home to take care of her. I originally just wanted to come and join in the fun, and I never thought about actually getting involved with this thing, so I didn't bring the two of them with me."

……

Chapter 431 The Giant Bunker Maze

"I see."

Hearing that Shangguan Xi and Shangguan Meng hadn't come, Chen Feng was a little disappointed. He thought that after things were over here, he would have to find some time to go see his girlfriend.

Seemingly noticing Chen Feng's expression, Shangguan Lin's eyes held a hint of something indescribable, which she quickly concealed.

"Please sit here for a moment, I'll go get you some information about this incident."

"it is good."

Chen Feng nodded.

As Shangguan Lin turned and left, Chen Feng's gaze returned to the newspaper.

Beneath the large title is a clear illustration of a blood-red, coral-shaped gemstone that is translucent and round. Even just a picture makes it seem incredibly valuable.

"A maze ball? That should be fun..."

……

Night falls.

The building in the center of the island was brightly lit, with colorful neon lights illuminating half of the sky.

Not far in front of the building, on a large open space, a huge gray-brown bunker that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see stood out, its outer walls made of large granite blocks, looking tough and heavy.

Two massive iron gates stood at the entrance to the bunker, like two invincible knights.

The scene was packed with people; the number of people gathered in the open exceeded two or three thousand, not to mention many more who were secretly observing from the shadows.

"Hello, viewers, I'm Xixi, the host for China Region 3 and Western Europe Region 6. It's great to see you all again."

In front of the camera, Xixi, a beautiful host with two dimples, appeared on set with a microphone.

"Wow, my wife has become even more beautiful in just a few days!"

"Get out of here, that's my wife, okay?"

"Wow, there are so many people here! There must be at least a thousand, right?"

"After all, it's an official invitation. This is the first time since the show started. If the authorities hadn't intervened and suspended flights to the island, the number of people would probably have increased tenfold!"

"I wonder how many of these people are contestants? I'm so excited!"

"There shouldn't be many. The third phase is already coming to an end. Those who haven't been caught yet are all seasoned veterans. Who would be foolish enough to openly appear in a crowd?"

……

The live stream chat was filled with comments.

However, it did not have much impact on the host Xixi's explanation.

"Please look behind me, everyone. This huge bunker was reportedly built 30 years ago by the heir of a large, world-class conglomerate as an underground mansion for his fiancée."

"However, due to various reasons, the project was forced to stop and was abandoned when it was about to be completed. A year ago, the production team spent a huge amount of money to buy the place and spent eight months transforming it from a residence into a giant maze."

"This is what we see now!"

Xixi introduced herself to everyone in a sweet voice, but then deliberately paused, a sly smile appearing on her rosy lips:

"Just between you and me, this island isn't just full of tourists attending the maze party; there are also quite a few contestants still on the official bounty list, eyeing the Crimson World Tree."

As they spoke, Xixi took a long sheet from her assistant, and the words "Wanted" were prominently displayed on it.

Below the three large characters are the information and materials of each contestant that have already been revealed.

"The official pursuit team acknowledges that anyone who captures the wanted person at any time will be paid the corresponding reward amount immediately!"

Xixi's voice subtly drew the attention of everyone in the live stream to the bounty poster.

[The 21st contestant, from the Beautiful Country, codename: Morgana, real name: Erin Ross, gender: female, bounty: 500,000 US dollars!]

[Rank 20, Polar Bear Country, Real Name: Unknown, Gender: Male, Bounty: 550,000 US Dollars!]

[Nineteenth place...]

As the long bounty notice was unfurled, everyone's interest was piqued, especially after noticing the string of zeros following the bounty amount, which brought that interest to a new climax.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! The lowest one is 50 US dollars? If we catch just one, we'll be rich! No way, I have to buy a ticket and fly to that island right now."

"Want to go now? Too late! What were you doing all this time? A week ago, the authorities canceled all flights and cruises to Galvis Island. If you want to go now, you'll have to swim there."

"If someone in the twentieth place has this much money, I can't even imagine how expensive the first place must be."

"I don't know how much the bounty is for the first place winner, but I can guess who it is with my own eyes!"

"Who?"

"Maple God!"

"Maple God!"

"Maple God!"

……

I don't know from which point on, but all the comments below were covered by the words "Feng Shen". Even the little assistant who was in charge of managing Xixi's live stream couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

[Fourth place, Chinese contestant, codename: Kidd's Assistant, real name: Lin Qingyao, gender: female, bounty: 350 million US dollars!]

[Third place, Chinese contestant, code name: Cat's Eye, real name: unknown... Bounty: 400 million US dollars!]

[Second Place... Bounty: 500 million US dollars!]

[First Place, Chinese Contestant, Code Name: Phantom Thief Kid, Real Name: Chen Feng, Bounty: 1800 million US dollars!]

"Wait... is the gap between the first place and the rest... really that big?"

"Is that not certain? When I, Feng Shen, make a move, it's always in the hundreds of millions."

"Um...excuse me, could you tell me who this Feng Shen is?"

"Holy crap! You don't even know Feng Shen and you're watching that damn live stream? Go home, kid, go home."

……

Xixi ignored the comments in the live stream and just spoke to herself:

"Of course, these are just the top few bounty hunters. There are also bounty amounts for other [thieves]. You can check the specific amounts on the official website."

……

at this time.

Inside a small seaside villa that served as a temporary residence for Shangguan Lin and Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was watching everything on the scene through the signal transmitted back by the miniature camera that Xiao Bai had strapped to his foot.

Especially when they saw the vast, seemingly endless giant maze-like bunker, their eyes showed a hint of interest.

"It seems you're genuinely interested in this matter. It seems that lady's assessment of you was correct: a free spirit and a restless fellow."

Shangguan Lin's voice came from behind her. Her slender, jade-like arms were draped over the back of the computer chair, and she looked down at Chen Feng, who was sitting in front of the computer, with a smile on her lips.

"Although the party hasn't started yet, that shouldn't stop us from going to check it out, right?"
