Rebirth of the Super Thief Chapter 8-10

The hand glider is like a pair of large wings gliding within the abyss. Of cause this pair of "wings" are unable to fly upwards.

Hand gliders as usual are hardly able to propel forward, especially this set of wings that can barely be called "hand glider" that is invented by Luo Bing, don't even have the tiniest amount of propulsion.

The hand glider that Bai Song uses in his previous incarnation is called Breeze Glider. It is a ma.s.s production good, but when compare to this experimental one, Breeze Glider which have a bit of propulsion is such so much "luxurious".

If there is no comparison, there will be no need to puke blood.

In the past incarnation, Bai Song favourite past time is to glide in the air with Breeze Glider. His ability to control the glider is superb and a good hand glider speed is as fast as a first-rate flying horse. Especially the Red Dragon Glider in the legends. It is a G.o.d tools that people will kill to obtain it.

Circling down the abyss requires strength and the air flow need to be circling the abyss. When Bai Song saw that the conditions are almost right, he starts to straighten out his body and maintains a swooping positon.

When Bai Song saw that he is about to reach the ground, he uses his strength to pull the level on the hand glider backwards. The ma.s.sive downwards forces was disperse in an instant, allowing a smooth descend onto the ground, after which Bai Song kept the hand glider into his backpack.

Endless Abyss is a lifeless area. Those that can life in it are those few shadow creatures. Bai Song starts to operate his weak perception, slowly and carefully waiting in the darkness. In the past incarnation, the player that completed this quest have already learnt stealth manoeuvre, but still nearly die in the process of completing this quest.

In the Endless Abyss, a small and ordinary worm level can go up to Lv30. If you are unlucky and meet any elites even Cat Maiden will suffer badly trying to escape.

Sunlight seldom shines into the Endless Abyss, hence it is almost impossible to see. If it is an ordinary player, even if he knows the location of both the ring and the herb, it is also very hard to find it. Since it is hard to see, Bai Song shuts his eyes and walk towards the location of the objective.

That one point in perception most important objective is to unlock perception system. To be honest that one point in perception does not help Bai Song much. But to other ordinary player, even if they have 100 points in perception, with both eyes shut, they will not be able to perceive as much as Bai Song.

This is the torment cause from living in darkness for several years!

With every step, Bai Song ascertain the surrounding before taking another step. Dying once is not scary at all, but if he die during the process of completing this quest, the hand glider will definitely drop. The hand glider is not considered as his equipment but a quest item.

There is only one chance. Usually before doing a high risk quest, players would usually store their valuables in the warehouse. But Bai Song did not store the Cat Maiden personal guard bracer in.

If he fail to obtain the Form Changing Gra.s.s, holding onto a useless item is pointless.

Another reason is that he have no money.

Bai Song can feel the rate of his heartbeat. He have no confidence in completing the quest despite placing all his points into agility

(TL note. Why can't he level up more before doing this d.a.m.n quest?)

He have prepared for failure. In the event of failure, he will have to practice Empty Hand stealing technique and slowly steal Cat Maiden necklace. He will be able to obtain the necklace sooner or later, just that timewise, to the current him will be very painful.

At this time, Bai Song have reached the objective area according to his memories. This area is not very large. Bai Song with his eyes close slowly and carefully feels each and every spot. The ring and herb are located near to each other, hence the player in his previous incarnation is able to complete the quest.

The Form Changing Gra.s.s grows in a crack. It is shape like a strip, at the top it is split into 3 and at the edges of each strip is a small ball. Bai Song open his eyes, relying on the weak rays of light to search for the Form Changing Gra.s.s. But before he found the Form Changing Gra.s.s, he found the ring first.

Searching upwards of the ring is the shape of his description. Bai Song softly pluck the crucial Form Changing Gra.s.s and place it in his bag. As Bai Song have not learn Herb Gathering skill, this stalk of Form Changing Gra.s.s is slightly damaged. But if it is for usage, it is still pa.s.sable.

Bai Song did not relax after getting both his objective as getting back up is the real challenge.

How on earth is he supposed to go up?

Bai Song walks back to where he landed. From his backpack, he took out a piece of meat. The piece of meat is very long and wide, as it is specially cut out by cutting the pig into half1.

That player in his previous incarnation relies on Gecko Shoe to climb out bit by bit. As for why Bai Song did not go and get a Gecko Shoe as well, it is because Gecko Shoe is inside a special treasure chest in a cavern which is located in Getto Forest. By the time he have reached it, some other fleet-footed player would have gotten it.

Just as he have taken out the meat, he quickly keep it back into his backpack. He just realise that this valley contains lots of underground creatures, who know if they are picky about their food, hence he starts to wait and this wait lasted for over an hour.

The moment he heard the eagle cry, Bai Song quickly ties that big piece of meat around him. After making sure that it is tied tightly, he lies down on the floor covered by the large piece of meat.

Screech! Screech!

As the hunting eagle flies down as usual to search for food, he suddenly saw a large piece of fresh meat that is still drip blood, it could not help but to call out in joy twice.

As Bai Song is worries, the hunting eagle lets go of its suspicion in the face of delicious food and with its two claws grabs the meat and flew out of the Endless Abyss.

When Bai Song could finally see the sunlight, he have already reached the surface and saw the nervous Luo Bing. At this moment Luo Bing also saw Bai Song and can't stop waving his hands towards him.

After reaching a certain height, Bai Song took out his dagger. Despite it is a newbie dagger, it is still able to cut through the rope easily and soundlessly. Bai Song falls from the sky like a bullet but as he does not wish to die and revive, he open the hand glider in mid-air, rapidly slowing down his rapid descend.

This scene was not seen by another other player, otherwise their jaw would have touch the floor. Let's not say about his seamless technique, just base on the fact that he own a glider is enough to shock any players.

In his previous incarnation, during this early phase, no one owns any sort of mounts, not even a horse.

When no one is able to run and you can fly, very one will not just envy you, but rather envy you like a delicious food.

After seeing how far the eagle have flown, Bai Song finally relax. This is a last minute modification to his plans. But as he could think of using the eagle as a plan to replace the loop hole of needing the Gecko Shoe showcases how venerable of an internet addict he is.

"My beloved friend, I really have no idea how to thank you. Please accept the leftover pork and this hand glider as my grat.i.tude. You must accept them."

When Bai Song pa.s.s the ring to Luo Bing, while Luo Bing is thanking him, Bai Song received the notification that he have completed the quest.

1 是通过将猪肉折叠切割所弄出来的 - well I tried but if anyone else knows how to describes it better let me know

After returning back to the village, Bai Song says goodbye to Luo Bing before walking towards Demon Cat Forest. As Bai Song travels, when he saw the windmill paG.o.da, he is tempted to climb up and use to gilder to travel to Demon Cat Forest.

But after think, he decided not to. It is not because he is afraid of people but rather because like what him kill steal to level up afraid of being hara.s.s by the world. If he is too bright, he will attract the attention of other people schemes. Even though sooner or later he will be famous among the crowds, but at least by that time he will have enough strength to fend off the schemes.

"Demon Cat Forest BOSS party, party is completed, looking for an archer who can shoot."

"Cat Maiden BOSS, Cat Maiden BOSS, is there anymore looking for one more to fight with Cat Maiden BOSS?"

Bai Song was about to leave the village when he saw a large crowd of players standing in the party zone and all of them are selecting to fight the Cat Maiden BOSS. Originally Bai Song does not mind. Partying up in games to kill monsters is a common occurrence, as common as eating rice, but something is wrong if all of them are gunning for Cat Maiden BOSS.

Bai Song stop a worried looking player and ask: "This friend, what is happening here? Why is it that so many party doing Cat Maiden BOSS?"

This player is like what Bai Song have imagine. At first he is not willing but after struggling to escape twice, finally reply terrified: "It is said that the Glorious Guild have accepted a quest. Recently a few of their core member have come back and party up, wanting to go and kill the Cat Maiden BOSS."

"All of them are from the Glorious Guild?"

"Not all, a lot of them are random players partying up to try and grab a slice of the cake."

A new quest that was just released? Taking advantage that Bai Song is not focusing on him, the terrified player disappeared like the win in an instant.

Bai Song look around and saw that the gathering area is congested with all kinds of player. There are those that wears heavy armour or leather armour and those that uses wands or swords.

As Mayor Xi is located close to this are, Bai Song rushes over to look for him. On the way, he keep hearing rumours that Glorious Guild have a strategy for kill the Cat Maiden BOSS, as well as the number of players with Glorious tag makes Bai Song suspicious.

Glorious Guild is not a famous guild when he enter the game after 2 years of its opening during his previous incarnation. But looking at the current situation, Glorious Guild seems to be a big and powerful guild which holds some sway.

Actually when Bai Song was kill stealing, if the people have report a famous guild name, he would not offend them for a few elites. When Bai Song first heard Glorious Guild his first reaction is: who the heck is Glorious?

Unless it is a guild that is famous during the early stages but collapse after 2 years? To be honest, even super large guild collapse within 2 years before. Towards this top tier circles new, Bai Song have always listen to it like a normal player.

When Bai Song saw Mayor Xi, just as he is about to ask him if he have news regarding Cat Maiden quest, he was pulled up to the second floor by Mayor Xi.

"I am just about to send people to look for you. Regard the quest to steal the necklace, I am unable to send guards to support you, hence I have send expedition request to the adventurers against Cat Maiden." Mayor Xi delightfully rub his chin after finish saying. "I believe that with this group of adventurers advancing in wave, the Cat Maiden energy will be drained. With your technique along with the treasure I gave you, you will definitely be able to successfully steal it."

Bai Song jaw dropped. He have thought that there is some changes in the situation, hence rush over in a hurry. Unexpectedly this is Mayor Xi scheme.

If the precious stone really that important?

"So be it, Mayor please do not worry. This one will definitely do my best." Facing Mayor Xi confident look, Bai Song can only give a devoted reply.

"Oh, think of a plan carefully. As long as you can obtain that necklace, I will not ill-treat you." Mayor Xi look at Bai Song att.i.tude and pets his arm happily.

This time Bai Song did not jump out of the window as the hall does not have much people, most of them have already accepted the expedition request and are gathered in the party zone.

Bai Song walks along the pavement of the village, looking at the players rushing all over the place and shakes his head. Lv 20 gold BOSS, and most of the players are currently Lv 4-6. Maybe they have thought that the BOSS is around Lv10.

No one is able to imagine that Wind Sprout Village which is like a beginner village is surrounded by Lv 20 and above BOSSes and not just any normal BOSS but a gold BOSS.

Very single gold BOSS when facing same level players is able to totally annihilate them. And if there is no specially trained team or a G.o.d level player, it is impossible to kill a gold BOSS. Because a gold BOSS will run if it feel that it is losing.

These low level players will never be able to kill Cat Maiden. Their biggest usage is like what Mayor Xi say: wave after wave fighting to wear down her energy to allow Bai Song to steal the necklace.

As for Mayor Xi's integrity, Bai Song have not comprehend completely. For his own goals, he have issued out an impossible quest. This will cause a large number of player to loss their valuable time, using an empty promise to send this group of players as cannon folder.

Mayor Xi still does not know about Bai Song and Cat Maiden's cooperation. And the one who is being schemed against is Mayor Xi himself. Of cause when Bai Song walk into the gathering zone, looking at the thousands of player gathering, Bai Song's heart is slightly swayed.

Looking at the current situation, if he does not use the ­Despicable Pa.s.s, he actually have a chance in succeeding Mayor Xi's quest.

"Why don't I try to complete Mayor Xi's quest?" this thought worm itself into Bai Song's heart. After thinking for around 2 seconds, Bai Song immediately eliminate this thought.

Let not talk about not knowing Mayor Xi's rewards for completing the quest. Even if the reward is pretty good, but even if he complete the quest… but what about afterwards?

Afterwards, he will be chase by a Lv20 gold BOSS. Being chased by a Lv20 gold BOSS is very scary. Even those top-tier players from his previous incarnation are not willing to anger those strong and love to hold a grudge gold BOSS. If you are stronger than them, they will run away after a short fight. If you are weaker than I'm sorry.

This is the reason why Bai Song gave up the previous idea, completely burying it deep in him heart.

"Bro lets group up?" At this time a warrior holding an axe called out to Bai Song.

Bai Song shook his head. He is not willing to group up with anyone. At this time, that warrior pulled on Bai Song hand: "I see that your stamina is already yellow."

"Here take this. We players who are not in a guild have a hard time." Finished saying, the axe warrior pa.s.ses Bai Song a dried meat and turn around to look for other players to group up with.

"You can see the value of my stamina?" Bai Song ask with curiosity after receiving the dried meat. Usually at this point of time, there are very few abilities that allows you to investigate other players' status. Even among the large guilds, there is around 1-2 at most.

"He he." The axe warrior laughted: "it is not some supurb skill, but Valour Awareness only."

After finish saying, he even tell Bai Song the skill description of Valour Awareness skill.

– –

It is actually Valour Awareness skill?

Bai Song looks at the axe warrior in amazement. Valour Awareness is a very uncommon G.o.d skill. This axe warrior have no idea of the advantage he have and is casually showing this skill to other people.

To be honest, it is not that he is stupid. But this skill without a certain amount of perception, based on the skill description, is actually a very useless ability. In , there are a few skill with hidden effects or we should say, there the skill needs to be used in conjunction with another skill to be able to unleash the hidden effect.

In the later stages of the game, as the points in perception increases, Valour Awareness is able to ignore all invisibility skills, as well as largely increase one's agility, allowing heavily armoured tank to be as lithe as a swallow. If the increase in agility is only a bit, it would not be called a G.o.d skill.

The scariest part of Valour Awareness is its ability to mark the weak points of the enemy as well as doubles all damage to the weak point.

Bai Song saw that the axe warrior personality is not bad, hence called him back and say:  "If you are not planning to look for a 3rd member for the party, I can join your party."

"Sure no problem, it is not like I can find another person."

If any average player have heard Bai Song's tone of speech, they would have been very angry, but the axe warrior is actually very happy.

Bai Song accepted the axe warrior party invitation, looking at his level and finally realise why he is unable to party with anyone. It is because this fellow is actually Lv4.

Most average players are already Lv5, the stronger ones have reached Lv6. Of cause Bai Song have no qualification to talk about others. After all he is 1 level lower than him at Lv3 currently.

"Hehe, at the beginning, I have accepted the blacksmith's task to dig a hole. While I was digging, I have dig up a piece of stone. According to the blacksmith, it is a very precious stone, hence he gave me a series of task. When I have finally finish all of them, my reward is this 'chicken' skill." The axe warrior rubs his head in embarra.s.sment. Feeling that wasting his precious early gaming time on this worthless task will make him the joke in other people eyes.

When he heard that Valour Awareness is being called a 'chicken' skill, Bai Song have to forcefully hold back his strong impulse to bash up the axe warrior, and did not let him know the truth of the skill ability.

"Oh? You are only Lv3? Are you really unlucky like me?" the axe warrior looks and saw that Bai Song's level is actually even lower than his, laugh loudly: "So be it, this things are not important, my name is Fermented Beancurd, you can just call me Fermented Beancurd. My objective is to be an elegant swordsman."

"My name is One Meter Bai Song. Call me Bai Song ca…" Speaking to here, Bai Song suddenly stops despite have more to say.

Bai Song is trying to recall where have he heard of Fermented Beancurd this very familiar name. Sudden Bai Song remembers among the three war G.o.ds one of them is called Fermented Beancurd.

In , when making ID, we are not allowed to use those weird symbols. As well as the following names, example are: Treasure ChestㄣCrystal, ╰☆Dream World‰Hammer, Slightly Silly T_T, Fallen丨灬 Angel……. Are absolutely not allow in .

Hence Fermented Beancurd this three words1 is Fermented Beancurd himself. As his ID cannot be repeated.

Looking at this previous life influential figure, who is currently smiling at him, Bai Song lets out a sign. The affairs of the world is subtle and impermanence2.

"Can what?" Fermented Beancurd looks at Bai Song who stops talking mid-way and ask.

"Nothing much, you can just call me Bai Song." Bai Song glance down and looks at Fermented Beancurd axe and ask in curiosity: "Since you want to became an elegant swordsman, why are you using an axe."

"Hai, don't mention it anymore, equipment drop rate is so low hence I just have to make do with what I have." Fermented Beancurd signs helplessly. He looks over at Bai Song and noticed his equipment: "Oi, you still dare to say me, aren't you the same, you are still using novice equipment."

"That is the case." Bai Song laugh after hearing that, but does not give any explanation and said: "Fermented Beancurd bro, don't dally anymore, the main group is setting off."

Glorious Guild have gathered nearly a thousand player, along with over a thousand guildless player. When the other guilds saw Glorious Guild sending out so many people, some of them send out a few people to scout the situation, others send out over a hundred member to join the expedition.

Momentary as the large expedition advances towards the Demon Cat Forest, causing those players who were grinding to panic as they have no idea what is happening.

At the front most group.

"Young Master Bai, you have gathered all of the Glorious Guild members from the surrounding areas. I only have a question, do you have absolute confidence in succeeding this expedition?" The person asking is a guy who looks to be around 30 years old, under his nose grows a dense moustache. The person being question is a young man.

"One Blade guild leader, do you know why after so many years Glorious Guild is unable to progress to the top? It is because you always want it to be 100% chance of succeeding before engaging in major task." The young man face is full of frost, and he looks like Bai Cheng.

If Bai Song have seen the bearded man, he would be shocked. Isn't he one of the top guilds Black Meat guild leader One Blade! How come he is Glorious Guild guild leader?

"What you are doing is wasting a large manpower, and with so many other players following along, there is a chance of making a mistake. Are you so certain of killing the BOSS? Furthermore, you have not gotten any information regarding the BOSS stats from the NPC!" One Blade said to Bai Cheng in anger: "I will report this matter to the chairman."

"Hump, One Blade guild leader, I respect you age, hence call you One Blade guild leader." Bai Cheng sneer coldly, saying in contempt: "One Blade guild leader, in the past, you have shown some results, but that was in the past. These two years, you have no accomplishment. This time regarding , my father have already appointed me as the decision maker, hence there is no need for you to say anymore."

Bai Cheng after finish speaking left without looking back. One Blade stops his footsteps and looks at Bai Cheng's back view. In One Blade's heart, a thought of leaving is slowly starting to develop.

"I be d.a.m.n. Just how rich are you? On this journey, I keep seeing you eating dried meat." Bai Song look at Fermented Beancurd who is like a foodie, after a while, Fermented Beancurd took out a piece of dried meat and eat.

"Oh…" Fermented Beancurd mumbled with his mouth full of dried meat: "That time the blacksmith past me a piece of dried meat to eat, I felt that it is very delicious, hence I traded the ores that I have dug up for these dried meat."

"Here take a piece and eat as well." Saying finish, Fermented Beancurd pa.s.s a piece of dried meat to Bai Song.

Bai Song ma.s.sages his head. Originally thinking that Fermented Beancurd who was one of the three war G.o.ds will at least have some form of an expert demeanour… but who would have known that he is a possessed foodie who exchanges his ores for food during the early gaming stages.

Regarding thing that other people give, Bai Song is not thick-skin enough to keep it in his bag pack. As his stamina bar is still green, eating does not restores a large amount. Hence Bai Song can only treat it as trying out good food. In , there is all sorts of delicious food, there are a lot of foodie who invented series of delicious and fragrant monster meat list.

These useless ingredients that does not give extra stats, does not restore much heath nor does it have any special attributes. But just because it is delicious, there is always people who are willing to pay a high price to purchase them.

Hence there is no need to mention how frightening a foodie is.
