Chapter 40: Stealing
In the living room on the first floor, two players are discussing with Antonio about buying the Holy Spirit Grass.
"You should be cheaper, the price of 100 gold is indeed too expensive."
"Someone has already agreed to this price during the day, but I didn't bring so much back to get the money, if you don't buy it if it's too expensive, someone will want it anyway."
"Someone agreed to buy Holy Spirit Grass for 100 gold? Who is so stupid. ”
"Please pay attention to the words, people are not stupid."
Two players whispered.
"Spending 100 gold to buy Holy Spirit Grass is not a fool, what is it?"
"Maybe someone deliberately played this fat man, he refused to be cheap, forget it, let's go."
When the two sides spoke, they didn't know that someone had sneaked into the house, and went up the stairs to the second floor, the door of Antonio's bedroom was gently opened and gently closed, and the whole process was silent, and the attention of Antonio and the two players downstairs was on each other, without paying attention at all.
Closing the bedroom door, Zhao Shun's figure was revealed, 18 seconds was a bit rushed, but it was enough for him to stealthily from the door to the second floor.
Antonio's bedroom was large, with a plush double bed in the center with a wardrobe and coat rack on the side, a desk under the window with pen and paper and some books, and a few large boxes on the opposite side of the bed, all unlocked.
Zhao Shun's goal is these large boxes, from the discovery during the day, it can be seen that the Holy Spirit Grass is placed in Antonio's own bedroom, and the place where his bedroom can put things is only these boxes in addition to the wardrobe, the wardrobe is unlikely, and the box is the most suitable place to put things.
Zhao Shun opened the first box, and inside was some old clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time. Open the second box, and there are some miscellaneous items inside.
Open the third box, and inside is the bed quilt...... After rummaging through all the boxes, Zhao Shun didn't find the exquisite box he had seen during the day.
"It doesn't make sense, is it really hidden in the closet?"
Zhao Shun's eyes looked at the wardrobe, walked over, opened the two small doors, and it was clear at a glance that there was nothing but clothes.
Now Zhao Shun has a headache, the box is not in the box, and it is not in the closet, so where will it be hidden?
Looking at the entire bedroom, although the furniture is complete, there is really not much place to hide things.
Inadvertently, seeing a pair of oil paintings on the wall, Zhao Shun thought of a possibility, he used his hands to move the oil painting, found that the painting could be swinged, pushed the painting to the side, the wall behind the oil painting was exposed, there was a dark grid, and the box in the dark grid was the box that Antonio took out during the day.
Zhao Shun was overjoyed and put the box into the package.
It's also a helpless move to steal, 100 gold, don't say that Zhao Shun can't take it out, even if he has it, he can't bear it, think about it, only by using crooked ways can he get the Holy Spirit Grass, his behavior has a high risk, once he is discovered, he will be caught by the guards and put in prison, not only to fine but also to go to jail, how long to sit depends on the severity of the crime, as light as ten days and half a month, as heavy as a year and a half, so there are generally no players in the city to do illegal things.
As soon as the box was put into the package, there was some movement outside the house, it was the sound of someone going upstairs, it was quite loud, it should be Antonio, and he was the only one who could make the stairs rattle with such weight.
Zhao Shun was taken aback, the cooldown time of the invisibility potion had not yet arrived, and if he was found at this time, he would definitely go to prison.
He walked to the window and tried to jump out of it, but when he looked down, he saw guards patrolling the street below, and this jump was bound to be exposed.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Zhao Shun was sweating profusely, his eyes swept over the wardrobe, and his eyes lit up.
There is a lot of space in the wardrobe, not to mention one person, two people can also hide.
At the same time as Antonio opened the door, Zhao Shun also closed the small door of the wardrobe.
"A group of poor ghosts, who have no money and want to buy Holy Spirit Grass." Antonio said to himself.
He walked to the bedside, took off his clothes and hung them on the coat rack, changed into his pajamas, and then lay down on the bed, and fell asleep on all fours.
After a while, the snoring was like thunder, and Zhao Shun thought to himself: What a pig, sleeping so early, and sleeping so fast.
However, this also gave him a chance to escape, the cooldown time of the invisibility potion was over, Zhao Shun took out another bottle and drank it, and his body became transparent again.
He gently pushed open the closet and crept to the door, trying not to make a loud noise, and the doorknob creaked and the door opened, but there was also a little movement.
Zhao Shun's heart trembled, looked back, and was relieved to see that Antonio was still asleep and was not woken up by himself.
When he went out, the next step was much simpler, he quickened his pace, went downstairs, and the servant was not there, which provided Zhao Shun with a lot of convenience.
When the stealth time was about to end, Zhao Shun changed his walk to run and ran out of Antonio's house at a fast speed.
On the brightly lit street, Zhao Shun's figure was revealed, there were no guards around, only a few passing players looked at him in surprise, probably not understanding why someone suddenly appeared on the street.
Finding a corner where no one was around, Zhao Shun put the box on the ground, used a weapon to chop the lock on it, and cut it more than a dozen times, and the box was almost broken before the lock was split.
took out the Holy Spirit Grass in the box, and while Antonio hadn't found out that something had been stolen, he hurriedly went to the office to hand in the task, as long as he handed in the task, everything would have nothing to do with him in the future.
In the office, some players are also handing in tasks, and most of them know each other well, and they chatted while standing outside the window to receive their rewards.
"Which task are you handing in?"
"One star, that mission to deliver the letter."
"What reward?"
"Hey, just a little money, I'm idle and have nothing to do, what about you, which one to pay?"
"The two-star one looking for the lost item."
"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to do the four-star mission that ranked first?"
"That task is a loss-making business, I went to ask, the Holy Spirit Grass costs 100 gold, which is equivalent to using so much money to buy a high-quality mask, it's not worth it."
"Also, 100 gold can buy a whole set of high-quality equipment, and there is left, who will spend this unjust money to buy a mask."
"Look, that guy seems to be holding the Holy Spirit Grass in his hand!"
Everyone looked at Zhao Shun's hand, and really saw a crystal leaf that exuded brilliance, and he handed the Holy Spirit Grass to the staff inside through the window.
Then I heard the NPC say, "Yes, this is the Holy Spirit Grass, congratulations on completing our most difficult task, please wait a moment, I will go and get your reward." ”
While Zhao Shun was waiting for the task reward, several players surrounded him, and one of them asked curiously, "Friend, how did you get your Holy Spirit Grass?" ”
Zhao Shun said honestly: "I got it from Antonio." ”
"You really bought it with him for 100 gold?" The player was surprised.
"No, not a penny spent."
Everyone was amazed and asked, "I didn't spend a penny, could it be that he gave it to you?" ”
Zhao Shun smiled mysteriously: "Almost." ”
