Rebirth of the Super Thief Chapter 28-30

“Earlier Beancurd and I have try killing the monster for a long time, but always fail, this time because of Brother Song leading skill we are able to kill the earthworm and complete our quest.” Alone Survival says slowly. “As for Beancurd and I, just this key and the chest will do.”

“Correct, just this key and the chest will do. Brother Song you keep the dagger.” Fermented Beancurd says after realizing that this time round, Bai Song is the main reason for being able to kill the earthworm.

“Fine then.” Bai Song keeps the dagger and say: “I shall accept the dagger.”

Opening the chest, they looted a disk shape object which they are unable to identify, hence it is the quest item. After they have finish distribution the loot, it also means that their time together will temporary come to an end.

“Brother Song, Survival and I shall go and hand in the quest, later on there will be a follow-up quest, do you want to come along?” Fermented Beancurd asks.

Bai Song shakes his head and says helplessly: “Even if I go along and complete the quest with you, I will not be able to get the quest rewards, isn’t it torturous for me?”

“It seems to be that case…” Fermented Beancrud touches his ear in embarra.s.sment: “It really seems to be the case. How about we do the level 10 dungeons together afterward when we reach the level?”

“When I reach level 10 then we talk about it again.” Bai Song gives a reply that neither reject nor agree to the question.

After adding as friends, Alone Survival nods his head towards Bai Song before leaving with Fermented Beancurd and go backs to the city.

After the two of them have left, Bai Song suddenly feels slightly tired, originally he have planned to grind for a while longer, but his luck is quite bad. Other than the Sneak skill book that he have originally gotten, there is no other skill books that drop.

The gaming capsule have interaction functions that can be set-up, such as when being touch, it will send the user a notice, it can also treat anomalies such as knock on the door and send a notice. As Bai Song is alone at home, if he loses the ability to know what is happening in the real world while he is playing, if someone comes and look for people it will be very troublesome.

After all you get what you paid for, 20k price tag is not without reason.

The middle of the mountain does not lack years, the cave lightings are all dependent of the torches, and hence it is hard to determine if it is daytime or night. Bai Song found a corner and logs off.

Opening the capsule, the afternoon sunrays shines pa.s.s the window panel onto Bai Song’s face, blinding him temporarily.

Bai Song rubs his eyes, after wearing his slipper, he opens the door and sees Qiu Yu who is carrying multiple heavy bag of items. Bai Song immediately takes the large bag of rice, lightening Qiu Yu load.

“There is no more rice?” Bai Song remembers that the rice bucket is still half full.

Qiu Yu smiles faintly and replies: “The west district supermarket is selling rice at half price, so I conveniently bought it when I was returning from there.”

West district…

Bai Song was startled. The roads in west district are currently under construction hence the public buses have to detour around it, if you want to take the bus, you need to walk quite a few miles. Bai Song does no know what to say when he thinks of Qui Yu walking such a long distance with such heavy loads.

After closing the window, Qiu Yu is just nice standing beside the window, the sunlight shines of her breathtaking appearance, her slightly dishevel wavy long hair and her alluring calf covered slightly by her woman’s suit.

Anyone who sees her will definitely says that such a beautiful woman does not deserve to stay in such a narrow dusky room.

“Aren’t you suppose to eat lunch in the office? Why did you come back?” Bai Song helps Qiu Yu to wash the vegetables. Despite Bai Song is very clumsy, Qiu Yu is very happy.

“Oh, the nutrient solution is quite expensive, thinking that there is not more food at home, hence decided to buy some food home. Every bit we save is precious.” Qiu Yu smiles faintly as she puts on her ap.r.o.n.

A not sumptuous but delicious lunch was soon prepared… actually it is only fried cabbage with a bit of meat. While Blossom is in the kindergarten, the meal quality have drop once again.

“Just now after buying the rice, I seems to see Liu Jing.” Qiu Yu suddenly place her bowl down and says worriedly: “I sees him eating his meal in a part.i.tioned box in a stall outside his office. His complexion seems to be haggard.”

Liu Jing working are is in the west district.

“Is that so.” Bai Song blank for a moment before continuing to eat his lunch.

“I can temporary think of some ways to settle our rent, go and return the money you borrow from him okay?” Qiu Yu tugs Bai Song lightly hinting to him not to eat first. “Last time you said that his child is just born, we have also experience that phase, you know as well, I am afraid that he alone is unable to handle it.”

“Yes…” Bai Song swallows down his food with a few large bites. Afterwards he wash the bowl and say: “I go and do something first.”

Qiu Yu looks worriedly at Bai Song back view but does not say anything.

After removing his slippers, Bai Song lets go of an impure air before climbing into the gaming capsule, the view in front of him change and he successfully login.

In the dark cave where there is no light, Bai Song frowns before heading back to the village.

Underneath a stone bridge that only four person can walk together shoulder to shoulder is a slow flowing rivulet. The bright yellow gra.s.s surround the pinwheel. As the breeze flow by softly, the gra.s.s moves along with the breeze, the pinwheel as usual continues to spin.

The streamlet outside of the village is not very deep but narrow, Bai Song sits beside the bank of the streamlet and like the main character in the TV shows, hold a piece of gra.s.s in his mouth. Looking at the streamlet, Bai Song smiles knowingly, in the past, he have built a canoe and often have fun rowing the canoe in this streamlet.

Bai Song lies down of the gra.s.s beside the streamlet and spit out the gra.s.s in his mouth. “Really don’t understand what is the point of holding this gra.s.s in the mouth, those main characters in the TV show always like to hold a gra.s.s in their mouth.”

“If I sell the Earthworm Dagger, I can return Liu Jing the 20k I borrowed and there should be surplus that can be given to him. But is there any other better methods other than selling the Earthworm Dagger?” Bai Song raise his head and looks at the blue sky filled with clouds blobbing along and sign. “No matter what is said, Lu Ying that fellow really makes people worried, could an accident have happen?”

In the previous life, Liu Jing did not divorce at all, hence Bai Song did not know that Liu Jing and his wife are about to divorce.

“There should be a better method right?” Bai Song lies on the gra.s.s patch, feeling the breeze flowing pa.s.s his face and close his eyes.

As Bai Song is lying very close to the stone bridge, among the players who are walking through and fro the bridge, there is a player that there is a person lying there and sleeping, but in this fast pace gaming life, where have time to bother about him.

At this time, a male wand user on the bridge sees Bai Song who is lying on the gra.s.s patch.

“Expert, I can’t see that you are actually quite carefree, I really admire you.” Bai Song open his eyes and take a look, it is actually Spectral Fire.

“So it is Fire Guild leader, I am not as carefree as you are saying, my thinking is rigid hence decided to rest and reorganize a bit.” Bai Song who was lying on the gra.s.s patch sits up and shakes his head with a bitter laugh.

Looking at Spectral Fire, at this time a brilliant idea flashes through Bai Song mind.

“Fire Guild leader, I have a large business here, do you want to make a deal?” Bai Song looks at Spectral Fire with his eyes shining.

When Spectral Fire hears Bai Song mention a big business, he immediately became happy.

“Let’s hear what you have to say.” Spectral Fire lifts up a piece of gra.s.s and hang it in his mouth.

“…” Bai Song looks at the piece of gra.s.s that Spectral Fire puts into his mouth, it is the pluck from the area where he have just stepped on. But Bai Song does not reveal it as important matters are more urgent. “Fire Guild Leader, I shall boldly ask a question, is your guild currently strategizing for Abandon Mine or Farmland?”

“It is not bold at all, if you ask around you will be able to know.” Spectral Fire is still able to talk properly despite holding a piece of gra.s.s in his mouth. “The elite team is currently trying to clear the normal stage of Abondan Mine. As for their progress, it should be consider quite fast at around 70%. Oh right, please don’t tell other people of our progress.”

Bai Song nods his head and smiles mysteriously causing Spectral Fire to ask curiously: “Brother Song? Could it be that you have heard of someone who have cleared the dungeon?”

Bai Song shakes his head.

“Then why do you smile so mysteriously?” Spectral Fire feels slightly ridiculous.

Looking at Spectral Fire serious expression, Bai Song decided not to conceal anymore, expectation is expectation but it is still not good to be too much. “Is Fire Guild leader interesting in clearing h.e.l.l stage?”

“h.e.l.l Stage?” Spectral Fire touches his wand and ask inquiringly: “Are you saying about the h.e.l.l Stage for Abandon Mines?”

“Yes.” Bai Song nods faintly.

“Are you for real? Is there really a way? Brother Song are you one of the beta testers?” Spectral Fire is unable to hold his cool and asks excitedly.

Bai Song remain lying on the ground not replying.

“Sorry for being rude.” Only then Spectral Fire realize that he have asked this question before, says happily: “Brother Song tell me of your conditions, after we have cleared the dungeon I will definitely fulfil it.”

Bai Song stops acting cold and says: “Fire Guildleader…”

“Just call me Hidden Fire, this is what my friends call me.” Spectral Fire says amiably.

“Okay, Hidden Fire.” Bai Song paused for a moment: “I indeed have a method of clearing Wind Edge Abandon Mine dungeon, but…”

“Just speak your mind.” Spectral Fire hints to Bai Song to continue.

“I have some request which can be a bit demanding. From all of the drops, I will have the priority to choose any three regardless if I am able to use it.” Seeing Spectral Fire expressionless face, Bai Song continues: “On the other hand I need your guild to pay me 40k cash up front.”

“Brother Song, I am unable to agree to you last request.” Spectral Fire signs. “Actually there is no way around it. Even if I believe in your abilities, the other people in the guild are not convinced. Furthermore I am only the vice-guildleader.”

The bobs of clouds in the sky slowly gather together.

Bai Song also knows that his request is overbearing, hence in the end he took out a dagger, the dagger is slightly longer than the usually dagger by a bit, its appearance is very simple and unadorned but there is a faint hint of its brilliance.

Bai Song does not bother to show its attributes, instead he pa.s.ses it to Spectral Fire. When Spectral Fire receives the dagger he immediately checks its attributes.

“Brother Song are you selling this dagger?” Spectral Fire is slightly shock when he have seen the attributes, as the dagger is of a more excellent quality then the silver grade wand he is using.

“Not selling.” Bai Song keeps the dagger. “If I use this dagger as a collateral can you pa.s.s me the 40k first? If we are unable to clear, I am willing to give up the dagger.”

“Deal! No problem.” Spectral Fire immediately pats his chest and guarantee: “In this case, I believe that no one will be able to disagree.”

The wind in the sky manages to form, but after a breeze it disperse.

At the entrance of the underground Abandon Mine dungeon.

“Just a bit more, the party got wipe near the end, just that last stretch and we are able to clear it.”

“It is really hard, don’t know if there is any guild that will be able to clear the dungeon by today.”

The two player just came out from the dungeon. They are chatting while waiting for their teammates to recover their health.

One of the players pointed at the progress board and say: “Eh, you look, a guild just successfully cleared the dungeon, their guild name is…. It is actually Glorious Guild people.”

“Glorious Guild is the first to clear the normal stage, this can allow them to leave the other guilds behind but I still disapprove of Glorious Guild as they are too overbearing.”

“Oi! Softer a bit, the Glorious Guild people are coming out. A few days ago there is a player who have angered the Glorious Guild and they have declared that they will not let him get to level 11.”

“Yes yes…”

Bai Cheng walks out of the dungeon with high spirits, the rest of the party including One Blade follows behind him. In the past few days, the top management have send down formal doc.u.ment to make Bai Cheng the Vice-guildleader.

As for One Blade, although he is still Guild Leader in name, all of the major matters are now being handled by Bai Cheng and everyone knows that if Bai Cheng does not commit any mistakes, the Guild Leader post will be his sooner or later.

At this time, another group of people walk out of the dungeon as well.

Bai Cheng gives his underling a look and that underling immediately chats with his partner: “Take a look at the atmosphere of the Spectral Guild members coming out, they must have failed again.”

“Of cause, comparing our abilities, how can they compare with Glorious Guild?” The other person also cooperate.

A member of the Spectral Guild is about to d.i.c.ker back but was stop by Spectral Guild Guild Leader Ghost Island.

Bai Cheng immediately gives a hypocritical show of apologises: “Guild Leader Ghost Island, I am so sorry, my underlings does not know how to talk. Later I will discipline them when we get back.”

Ever since Spectral Fire have steps onto Bai Cheng’s head, Bai Cheng have always keep it in his heart. Since both sides are already fighting against each other for fame, hence there is no need for politeness,

“No problem, congratulate Young Master Bai success in leading people to get the first clear for the normal stage.” Ghost Island places emphasis on normal stage this the two words, hinting that clearing the normal stage is not something to be proud of.

Ghost Island directly bring his people and leave the dungeon area, before leaving he nods towards One Blade. “Guild Leader One Blade”

Bai Cheng looks at their back view, gashing his teeth angrily. Ghost Island not only say that clearing the normal stage is nothing amazing, he also calls him Young Master Bai but calls One Blade Guild Leader One Blade.

He obviously looks down on Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng is a conceit person who is always standing above others, hence when he hear it he got angry, but he know that this is just Ghost Island tatics to sow dissension. Only his relationship with One Blade have already reach the point of fire and water, hence there is no need to sow further discord.

Ghost Island signs, the first clearance for normal mode got s.n.a.t.c.hed by others. Today they have almost clear the dungeon but got wiped at the end.

At this time, Spectral Fire rushes hurriedly into the dungeon area, just nice meeting Ghost Island and the rest.

Ghost Island last curiously: “Second Fire, didn’t you say that you will not come and try to clear the dungeon? Why did you come here?”

Second Fire is Spectral Fire nickname, which sound similar to fool1.

Spectral Fire is speechless for a moment: “I have a good news to tell you.”

1 二火= second fire, er huo while二货= fool, er huo

Ghost Island looks at Spectral Fire curiously, although Spectral Fire is usually joking around, he does not mess around regarding major event.

“Ghost Face, you gather everyone and go and grind levels.” Ghost Island send away a few people, those that remains are all of the guild top core members.

After he pulls Spectral Fire to a place without other people.

“Say it, everyone here are our own people so don’t keep us in suspense.” Ghost Island smiles and pats Spectral Fire.

“Oh it is like this, I have a friend who have took part in the close-beta and he claims that he can help us clear Abandon Mine h.e.l.l stage.” Spectral Fire says base on his own guess.

“Is he reliable? What is his request?” Ghost Island did not immediately display happiness, instead ask in inquiry, his tone carries a hint of disbelieve.

“Two request, first one is he want priority of three items out of all of the drops and the second one is 40k, oh… and it must be upfront and I have already given him.”

When Spectral Fire says it this way, before Ghost Island could cay anything, a sword user behind immediately have comment.

“d.a.m.n it Old Fire, where did you find this pack of rouges, don’t get angry with what I say, this fellow could be just grab the money and run away…”

“Ghost Dance, enough.” Ghost Island cuts into Ghost Dance speaking and asks frowning: “Is he really reliable?”

“I think so, still somewhat reliable, whatever it is I have already given him the money.” Spectral Fire spread his hand, afterward he take out a dagger. “Oh right, he say he will use this thing as collateral, this should be worth more than 40k.”

When Ghost Island receive the dagger, his eyes starts to shine, without showing the attributes to other people he returns the dagger back to Spectral Fire to safe keep.

“I am starting to look forward to it.” Ghost Island smiles faintly.

After Bai Song and Spectral Fire have finish their discussion, Bai Song choose to logoff.

It is currently lunch break timing and Qiu Yu have already return back to work. For those who are constantly on the move to earn money for the family, afternoon nap is a very luxurious thing.

His phone vibrates and Bai Song picks up his phone and check.

SMS: Account x.x.x16 user have transfer you 40,000.

Looking at this SMS, Bai Song finally lets go of his breath, the gloomy aura on his face disperse slightly. After closing the SMS, he moves to the contact book and quickly found Liu Jing.

“You ah what’s the matter?” From the phone came Liu Jing usually voice.

Bai Song tone is very calm: “Where are you?”

“House, after resting then I’m going back to work.” Liu Jing say lazily.

“I’m coming over don’t go anywhere.” Saying finish, Bai Song hang the phone without waiting for Liu Jing reply.

As he is afraid that Liu Jing might leave soon, Bai Song does not choose to take the public bus, instead he catch a taxi.

Taxi is charging base on the distance travel, hence the taxi drivers press the accelerator all the way to be able to earn more money daily.

On the way, the taxi driver also pick-up a customer that is going in the same direction as Bai Song, the taxi driver smiles apologetically at Bai Song and say: “It is hard to earn money in the beginning of the year, please pardon me.”

Bai Song shakes his head and does not bothered, after all everyone is struggling for their livelihood merely all of us are pitiful people. A lot of people are always angry at the taxi driver for picking up other pa.s.senger in the middle of the journey but… there is no one who is willing to do such things.

The car is very fast, within ten minutes, Bai Song at the lobby of Liu Jing house.

Knock on the door, open the door.

Bai Song sees a panda eyes Liu Jing opening the day and says softly: “Since you have come then come in.”

Bai Song looks around and realise that other than Liu Jing, there is no one else in the house, at this time Bai Song phone rings.

SMS: Account x.x.x54 user have transfer you 5,300.

Bai Song looks at Liu Jing in shock, Liu Jing says exhaustedly lying on the sofa: “Look your appearance you must be lacking of money, just nice my company have just pay me in advance so I lend you first.”

Bai Song is not in a rush to explain his reason for coming, instead ask: “Your child don’t need to spend money?”

“No need already, my wife have brought my child back to her parents’ home, she is angry at me.” Liu Jing ma.s.sages his panda eyes and yawns: “There is no problem, after all her parents dotes her.”

“Why?” Bai Song feels that there is some problem.

“Hai, what else can it be, I have found a girl…”

Before he can finish saying, Bai Song cut in and say: “Say the truth, you still have not gotten rid of your habit of touching your nose when lying.”

“Ha.”

“Really can’t hide anything from you.” Liu Jing shakes his head helplessly: “It nothing major, just that she wants to divorce me.”

When Bai Song hear it, he does not ask anymore because he have guess the cause. Bai Song takes out his phone and fiddle a bit.

This time round, it is Liu Jing’s phone that rings, Liu Jing looks curiously at the SMS, 25,300 is reflected in his eye.

Liu Jing is shock: “Where did you get the money from?”

“Earned from Myth.” Bai Song looks at him seriously.

“That’s the way, finally you have prospect! But you should keep this money with you, my side is not in need for money and in this early period, you still need some fund for venture.”

“Come and join me, at the same time soothe your wife back.”

After Liu Jing hear, he does not say anything, instead he sits on the sofa and lit up a cigarette and offer one to Bai Song. The sofa in Liu Jing house is a hardwood sofa and the cushion colour have completely faded.

The two of them silent smoke the cigarette.

“I …better let it be…” Liu Jing force a smile and shakes his head.

Ding Dong, Ding Dong…

The doorbell rings.

Bai Song immediately stand up and open the door. Liu Jing stand up to see a large gaming cabin. This is what Bai Song have ordered for Liu Jing on the net while in the taxi.

Liu Jing looks in shock as the installation crew install the gaming cabin properly, afterward he clench his jaws tightly before walking towards a lady who looks like the head and ask: “May I know how much is it?”

“Sir, this is a good that have been paid in advance, there is no need to pay again.” The sales lady smiles politely at Liu Jing.

“Ah, then, sorry for the inconvenience.” Liu Jing distractedly reply the sales lady before walking back to the Bai Song side, jabs Bai Song with his elbow and ask softly: “Is this something that you have gotten?”

“Hai hai, listen to me once, go and call your office and take leave, I can guaranty that you can earn more money than working in your office, if you can’t earn more than it is still not too late to return back to work.” In front of the installation crew, the two of them chat softly at the side. “Brother, see if you believe me or not.”

Liu Jing punches Bai Song but does not say anything, if he does not believe Bai Song, then he would not have repeatly lend money to Bai Song, because he believe that Bai Song will change for the better.

Furthermore, Bai Song have betrayed the trust of Liu Jing in his previous life, in this life, he will not let him down again.

“I will return home first, after you have make your character added me, my ID is One Meter Bai Song, my usually game name.” Bai Song says finish and return home first.
