Is it easier to make a move?
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.
He was carrying so many things on purpose to draw all their attention to himself.
If it was easier for them to make a move, wasn't it the same for Lin Yu?
The shoe store that Chen Qimeng mentioned was located after passing through two sets of small alleys.
The Black Bear and Yellow Lion Gang, which had been waiting for a long time, naturally wouldn't miss this chance to act.
Yellow Lion casually rubbed his nose with his finger and quickly quickened his pace to get closer to Lin Yu.
As an experienced pickpocket,
Yellow Lion's first target was the satchel in Lin Yu's right hand,
which was actually Chen Qimeng's bag!
This kind of bag usually contained mobile phones and wallets.
Don't be fooled by the zipper, as it was no match for Yellow Lion!
Every time pedestrians brushed past each other, it was the moment when people were least aware of the items on their bodies.
Yellow Lion always chose this moment to make his move. With a very professional gesture, he slowly pulled the zipper bit by bit.
If it didn't work the first time, he'd try a second time, and if that didn't work, a third time.
At most three tries!
He was sure to create enough space to reach in. After that, it was just a matter of grabbing whatever he could.
Besides,
Yellow Lion also had a blade hidden in his pants,
usually used for dealing with bags made of thinner materials.
Chen Qimeng's satchel didn't fall into this category.
Moreover, Yellow Lion always boasted that if a problem could be solved with skills and techniques, there was no need to use tools!
After following Lin Yu for less than a minute,
the first wave of dense pedestrians passed by.
Yellow Lion nimbly squeezed next to Lin Yu. Under the cover of the crowd, he reached out his sinful hand towards the satchel.
At the same time,
Lin Yu had been quietly observing from the corner of his eye.
Yellow Lion's every move was as clear as a slow - motion video.
Just as Yellow Lion's hand was about to touch the zipper,
Lin Yu moved!
In Yellow Lion's view,
it was just the satchel being lifted a bit, and its position changed slightly.
This kind of thing happened all the time.
It was just a coincidence, right?
Yellow Lion smoothly slid his hand past the satchel and quickly retracted it.
Anyway, there was still a long way to go. As long as they continued shopping, there would definitely be another chance.
"Ouch!"
As he retracted his hand, a sharp pain shot through the tip of his index finger.
He immediately slowed down and looked at his finger.
There was a long cut that ran from the tip of his index finger all the way to the second knuckle.
What had he cut himself on?
Was there some sharp decoration on the satchel?
This was too fast!
If it was just a hard thorn, it would have at most left a white mark or a scratch.
But the cut on his finger was like being sliced by an extremely thin knife.
At first, he only felt the pain, and there was no bleeding.
When he lifted his finger to look,
blood slowly seeped out from the tiny slit.
After the initial spot of red, the blood started to gush out quite rapidly.
"Damn it! Am I this unlucky?"
"Who the hell puts a knife on a bag!"
Yellow Lion quickly put his finger in his mouth to prevent the blood from dripping on the ground.
Seeing Yellow Lion stop, Black Bear quickly stepped forward.
"Smack!"
Without thinking twice, he gave Yellow Lion a whack on the back of the head.
Then, he said angrily,
"Are you starving crazy? Is your finger delicious?"
Yellow Lion took his finger out of his mouth aggrievedly.
The bloody mess made Black Bear frown involuntarily.
"Useless piece of trash. What did you touch?"
"Hurry up. It's just a scratch, and you're making such a fuss!"
Black Bear didn't care about such a minor detail at all. He and Yellow Lion once again kept their distance.
【Ding!】
【The powerful attack that broke the blood and the superb skill of throwing leaves like flying darts greatly frustrated Yellow Lion!】
【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】
Lin Yu shook his left hand slightly, with a corner of the drawing paper completely hidden in his palm.
Ever since he went out with Little Fufu and discovered the sharpness of the drawing paper at the exhibition hall,
Lin Yu always kept a small, folded half - sheet of drawing paper in his pocket for emergencies.
The effect of the 【Throwing Leaves Like Flying Darts】 skill was quite remarkable.
It was even more practical than the upgraded 【Bone - Melting Tenderness】.
It allowed him to fight back while making the opponent completely unaware of what had happened.
He had still held back 70% of his strength just now.
If he had gone all out, let alone whether he could directly imitate the Nine - Fingered Demon Fiddler,
at least the cut would have been deep enough to reach the bone. Then the situation would have ended right there!
From the moment they targeted Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng,
Lin Yu didn't just plan to give them a small punishment and scare them away.
"What the hell is going on? Damn it!"
"There's nothing special about this bag either?"
"Was it scratched by the rough zipper? I'm so damn unlucky..."
Yellow Lion kept muttering to himself.
He quickly caught up with Lin Yu and Chen Qimeng again.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to take a look at this store?"
"It's a grocery store selling daily necessities. Do you need anything?"
Chen Qimeng stopped and asked Lin Yu with concern.
To cooperate with Aunt Qimeng, Lin Yu had no choice but to stop as well.
"Daily necessities... There are still a lot of stocks at home."
"Let's use them up first and then buy more when they're almost gone, okay?"
This act of standing still was like a god - sent opportunity for Yellow Lion!
He pretended to pass by Lin Yu from the oblique rear.
His nimble thieving hand reached out towards the backpack zipper again.
However,
that familiar feeling came back again...
"Damn it!"
This time, Yellow Lion aimed at the zipper.
Just as he was about to grab it and pull, Lin Yu moved again.
Immediately afterwards,
another sharp pain stabbed at his nerves.
【Ding!】
【The powerful attack that broke the blood and the superb skill of throwing leaves like flying darts frustrated Yellow Lion once again!】
【Reward: 50 Spirit Stones】
Yellow Lion didn't dare to stop and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, heading to the entrance of a store across the street.
"Damn it... Why am I so unlucky today?"
It was still his index finger!
It was the same kind of cut!
It was parallel to the previous cut and very close to it.
The previous cut was still oozing blood slowly, and now the new cut was gushing blood rapidly.
Yellow Lion put his finger in his mouth again, his face contorted in pain.
It really hurt, as the saying goes, pain in the fingers goes straight to the heart!
Not only did his finger hurt,
but Yellow Lion also knew that his head was about to hurt soon.
Just as Black Bear approached,
he quickly took his finger out and gestured.
"Don't hit me, Brother Bear. There's something strange about their bag."
"I didn't even touch the zipper... Ouch, it really hurts!"
Black Bear stopped his hand in mid - air.
Angrily, he reached into his pocket and took out a piece of toilet paper with white fluff on it.
He tore off one piece and stuffed it into Yellow Lion's hand.
"No matter what's in it, even if it's sulfuric acid, you can't let them get away."
"It's just a simple pickpocketing job. Why are you making it so difficult today?"
"You've been with me for so long and still haven't improved?"
"Hurry up and wipe it. They're moving again!"

(Second chapter. There will only be two chapters today. I'm going to sleep to adjust my state. I'll add more chapters tomorrow. I hope you all can understand!)
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
