Volume Nine Thieves Guild Chapter Five Upgrading Two Levels
From the day after Han Dan disappeared, Gu Yao has never stopped investigating the demons and the lost continent, even if it is an S-level taboo term designated by the Temple and the Inquisition. Of course, the investigation can only be carried out secretly
conduct.
When you need information, especially private information, asking a thief to provide it is undoubtedly one of the best ways.
In addition to money, thieves also steal secrets. They have many unknown secrets, which may include demons and lost continents.
The information Gu Yao needs is obviously a major secret. Even his master, the well-informed thief Philip, only has a slight understanding of the demons. As for the location and path of the lost continent, he is helpless.
However, a secret that one thief cannot provide may be mastered by hundreds, thousands, ten thousand or even more thieves. The Thieves Guild is a place where thieves are highly concentrated and has a large amount of private information.
In this world, information can also be sold as goods. The more private and influential the information, the more valuable it is.
There will always be employers who come to the Thieves Guild to buy the information they need, and many thieves will also come here to put the information they have on the shelves, waiting for others to buy it. The Thieves Guild is a bridge between employers and thieves, so that both parties do not need to
Mutual benefits can be obtained through direct contact, creating convenient conditions for thieves who do not want to be exposed.
Except for the Thieves Guild, there is no place in the world where you can get the information you need the fastest. This is the purpose of Gu Yao coming to the dungeon.
Senior sister Christie is a member of the Thieves Guild. After Gu Yao's first grade, the two have not seen each other again. The annual gathering of Xiaoyao Sect is just one of the rules that can be observed or not. If there is nothing important, it is
No need to meet.
Gu Yao originally planned to find Christie first, but found out from the unique sign of Xiaoyao Gate somewhere in the dungeon that she had gone out. It was unknown when she would return to the dungeon, and Gu Yao couldn't wait.
He also asked Philip to go to the dungeon to buy information about the demons and the lost continent, but he was rejected. Even the Thieves Guild had no relevant information.
Even the Thieves Guild does not want to offend the Temple and the Inquisition. Buying information related to S-level taboos from other thieves is likely to bring disaster. Generally speaking, the Temple will not pay attention to the dungeon, but if you anger them, the consequences will be
Very seriously.
The temple is really too powerful. The super strong men in the Sky City alone are unfathomable, plus the religious inquisitions all over the continent. No force can match it, let alone almost all the people in the world.
Everybody believes in God.
Therefore, the only way to obtain information about the demons and the Holy Continent from the Thieves Guild is to first master the Thieves Guild, or at least become a cadre of the Thieves Guild, with the power to contact other thieves and acquire information from them, so that you can
Obtain taboo information privately. It is not easy to become a cadre of the Thieves Guild. You have to start from the bottom. At least, you must first become a famous thief.
Gu Yao couldn't let Duanmu Qing follow him, a thief investigating S-level taboos, otherwise it would implicate her and even the Duanmu family.
Besides, it may take him months, years, decades, or even a lifetime to find the Lost Continent, and he is likely to face powerful demons. He cannot let Duanmu Qing wait for him for the rest of his life or become a widow at any time.
, so I cruelly refused.
In the Kadi continent, thieves are not classified into different levels, because there is no legal thieves union at all, and of course all parties are not willing to certify thieves.
However, it is different in the dungeon. Because there is a formal thieves union here, the levels of thieves are as detailed as other professions: apprentice thief, apprentice thief, junior thief, intermediate thief, senior thief, h-level thief, g-level thief, f-level
The standards of thieves are not determined by force. They must gain points by accepting tasks and gradually upgrade. Therefore, no matter how good Gu Yao's thieving skills are, he has to start from the lowest level as a thief apprentice.
Philip is an S-level thief, the highest level. Anyone under Xiaoyao's sect must go to the Thieves Guild to train until they reach S-level. Even if they have no interest in fame, this is an iron rule set by their ancestors and cannot be violated.
Christie is now an A-level thief, but the promotion between an A-level thief and an S-level thief is the most difficult. Many extremely difficult tasks must be completed. Now Christie is going out to perform such a task, which requires a lot of time.
Go to the outermost office on the first floor, which is only responsible for the tasks of thief apprentices and trainee thieves.
Gu Yao walked to one of the counters: "Hello, I want to register as an official thief."
His voice and appearance were different. When he entered the dungeon, Gu Yao put on a mask. Even in the Thieves Guild, thieves would not let others see their true face.
The receptionist was a middle-aged man. He raised his head and said, "Registered thief? I need to get some general information. First of all, have you had any theft experience in the past?"
Gu Yao thought briefly: "Yes, probably more than two hundred times!"
"What do you think is the highest level? Please answer my questions honestly so that I can give you a suitable task. If the task fails, points will be deducted."
Gu Yao tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, it should be to steal the wallet from an infantry soldier."
When the receptionist heard this, there was a clear look of contempt in his eyes. Infantrymen are the lowest type of arms, and they are only limited to stealing money. It seems that the level of this new thief is very bad.
"Do you have any information? If there happens to be an employer who needs it and you can sell it, it will also increase your points. However, it is best to have some hands-on information, otherwise no one will be interested."
Gu Yao thought for a while and said: "No!"
The receptionist's attitude became even colder when he heard this, and he threw away a form: "Fill in the information according to the instructions above. From today on, your number is 79516, remember it!"
Thieves will not publish their names and other real information. For the sake of confidentiality, the exchanges between the union and thieves are also conducted through numbering.
Gu Yao quickly filled out the information, and then the receptionist threw another file over: "This is a task, you can pick any one or a few. Come to me after you complete it!"
Gu Yao took the file and looked at it. It was nothing more than some trivial matters of adultery and bribery.
The points for such trivial tasks are naturally very low. Gu Yao frowned and said, "Excuse me, can you give me some high-point tasks? I want to upgrade as soon as possible!" He didn't have time to waste time on such rubbish tasks.
, in that case, when and how long will it take to become a trade union cadre...
The receptionist said impatiently: "With your current level, you simply cannot accept high-level tasks. Let's finish this first!"
Hearing this, Gu Yao stretched his shoulders: "Huh, there's nothing we can do about it, I'm selling a secret!"
The receptionist said: "Didn't you just say that there is no information for sale?"
Gu Yao smiled slightly and said: "It was true that it wasn't there just now, but now it is!"
The receptionist frowned: "What do you mean? Listen, the union is not interested in ordinary information. This information must have a certain value, and you can't get points until someone buys it!"
Gu Yao touched his nose and said: "I guarantee that the trade union will be interested in it, and if nothing else happens, it should be sold immediately!"
Seeing his confident look, the receptionist said dubiously: "Okay, what kind of information is it related to? Please tell me."
"One's privacy."
"Who? If it is not the privacy of a relatively famous person on the mainland, then the value of the information is very low."
Gu Yao took out something and put it into the receptionist's hand: "Evaluate its value yourself."
The receptionist took it from Gu Yao doubtfully, and after taking a look, his expression suddenly changed.
That black bra.
Gu Yao said slowly: "Few people would have thought that the twelfth receptionist of the Thieves Guild is actually a lingerie addict. He likes to collect lingerie that smells like women. I wonder if this is valuable privacy.
,Hey!"
This receptionist was number 12, and his face turned ugly, as if he had just eaten shit.
Gu Yao is right, he is indeed a lingerie addict. He has an uncontrollable passion for the women's underwear he wears, and smells the body odor on it. He feels relaxed and happy, extremely comfortable, just like taking drugs, and he never tires of it. He also has to do it when working
Carry one with you at all times to stay energetic.
However, just a moment ago, he was still playing with this underwear, and it wasn't until Gu Yao came over that he put it into the space ring. In the blink of an eye, it was in the other party's hands.
In other words, the other party stole it while speaking.
To be able to work in the Thieves Guild, even if he is just the lowest clerk, he is a thief with a certain reputation, and his anti-theft ability is also quite strong, but the opponent just removed his collection from the space where the micro-compression formation was set up right under his nose.
Stolen from the ring!
Is this a low-level thief who can only steal money bags from infantrymen?
The receptionist realized that he had made a mistake, and the mistake was very serious. The real strength of the newly registered thief in front of him must have reached at least A level!
"How is it?" Gu Yao asked with a smile: "Mr. Receptionist, do you think this privacy is valuable? Can it be sold immediately?"
After a while, the receptionist wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with an extremely ugly face: "Yes, yes, I will give you two thousand crystal coins to purchase this news, plus fifty points!"
"Money doesn't matter, but points..." Gu Yao didn't seem too satisfied: "It's only fifty, which seems a bit too little. Then, I would prefer to announce it."
"Don't! Don't!" the receptionist said quickly: "I'll give you one hundred points. This is the highest point I can give you within the scope of my power!"
"Haha, deal!"
"Please remember that the same information cannot be sold twice or passed on to others, otherwise it is against the rules! If the union finds evidence, you will be deprived of all points and thief levels! So, this matter
, you must keep it secret for me!" The receptionist's tone became much kinder as he warned her. Gu Yao's thunderous methods had an immediate effect, and the receptionist did not dare to look down upon him anymore.
To gain the respect of others, showing strength in front of them is the most direct and effective way.
"Of course, I am a thief who abides by the rules, so don't worry." Gu Yao smiled. His goal had been achieved, so he would naturally give up.
The minimum requirement for a junior thief is 100 points, and he just met it, skipping the thief apprentice and trainee thief, and upgraded two levels in a row.
Quickly helping Gu Yao complete the procedures, the receptionist handed a small green medal to Gu Yao: "This is your junior thief medal. Okay, now I have no power to give you tasks here. When you go to a higher level
Go to the reception desk to pick up the mission!”
He just wants to send this plague god away as soon as possible to avoid being caught and threatened again.
Holding the medal tightly, Gu Yao said: "Hey, thanks, by the way, you should be considered my employer? Happy cooperation!"
Damn it, I'm not happy at all. It's best to never avoid this kind of cooperation opportunity!
While cursing secretly, the receptionist couldn't help but warn her: "Remember, the same secret can only be sold once, you must keep it secret!"
If word spread about his underwear fetish, he would lose face in the union.
Looking at the distant figure of Gu, the receptionist had a vague premonition that another famous, no, notorious thief was about to be born on the mainland!
