"Um?"

With a click, Lu Mengming clearly felt the beating of the lock tongue. He pushed hard, but the door failed to open.

He checked the door lock in front of him again and discovered the clue.

"This is a double lock. If you don't have a key and just pry the outermost lock cylinder, the innermost bolt will automatically lock...it must be opened at the same time."

I didn’t expect it was just a small shop, but the awareness of protection was quite good.

"interesting."

Lu Meng tried again.

Ten minutes passed.

The door lock rang softly again, but still could not be opened.

However, he also gained a lot of knowledge about this new type of lock.

[Unlocking 18→19 (Basic)]

The skill levels on the panel have all been improved by one level, but they are not yet high enough to open this door.

Lu Meng knew that he had to give up this store tonight.

He couldn't stay in the same spot on the street for too long, as guards would quickly come around.

That's the last goal on the schedule tonight.

He took note of the location of the store and the shape of the lock, and planned to try it again when he had time... Even if it was just to practice his [lock picking] skills, it would be good.

Picking high-level locks also requires more skill proficiency.

It's just that the store's parts are missing, and the heating furnace can't be assembled yet.

Lu Meng doesn't feel depressed and has no intention of returning to the previous stores.

Sheeping wool is not about catching a sharp one, which only increases the risk.

Don't rush things.

And in fact he has gained a lot.

Along the way, Lu Meng followed the same pattern.

Bypass the guards, visit the house, appease the boss, sort out the clutter...

Not only is each individual link becoming more and more proficient, but even the entire process doesn't feel unfamiliar to him anymore...

For these companies, Lu Meng did not “empty” their stores.

Just taking away a few heating furnace spare parts that I needed, it will not affect the business's daily work, and it is estimated that it will not be discovered for a long time.

When the heating furnace breaks down and needs to be replaced but spare parts cannot be found, even the boss himself may not be able to remember whether he was unprepared or lost it halfway.

Besides, these are just small shops.

From Lu Meng's current perspective, the value of the goods inside would not be too high even if they were all emptied.

A little revenge is enough, it doesn't need to be too noticeable.

This time it is not so much a matter of "borrowing" things as it is a matter of practice, improving skill levels and becoming familiar with the work process.

Lu Meng's real targets are those large shops that are well protected.

They were also the ones who ordered the action against the adventurers.

They are used to being arrogant in the city and have the confidence to do so. Even using force to expel a few foreign merchants is not a big problem in the eyes of these monopolies.

However, with Lu Meng's current skill level, there is no guarantee that he will escape unscathed after coming to the door.

This is not a question of whether you can beat it or not, the key is not to be discovered.

In addition to the official guards standing guard outside these large shops, they also hire special bodyguards to guard the stores on night shift.

Many more pairs of awake eyes.

Therefore, Lu Meng planned to wait until his business capabilities were further improved before trying again.

only.

When he was thinking about this and preparing to retreat, the situation changed again.

In the quiet street, Lu Meng actually heard a slight sound of swords clashing.

‘A fight between hornless people? Or drunken warriors dueling—no. ’

He originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But the direction from which the sound came was very familiar to him.

——That was one of my original future goals.

Lu Meng thought and ran towards the shop.

…

Yue Yu looked at the man in black in front of him and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

One by one, they were holding long knives and suddenly kicked open the door of their shop.

At that time, Yue Yu was still sleeping soundly. When he was awakened by the movement downstairs, the men in black had cut down all the warrior guards he hired.

Bodies lay scattered all over the ground.

The various armors hanging on the wall were also splattered with blood, as if they had just been ripped off the dead on the battlefield.

"What... do you want to do!" Yue Yuqiang braced up his courage, "This is Skun Town. Aren't you afraid of being beheaded if you do this?"

This is not a duel.

Anyone who dares to break in and kill anyone in the military town will definitely be punished by death.

There is a guard post near the store.

After they noticed the movement here, they were definitely on their way.

Now I just hope to suppress these gangsters and delay time.

"I don't know if we will be beheaded." A man in black sneered, "But flat-skinned man, you are about to say goodbye to your smooth little head."

The long knife was pointed at Yue Yu fiercely.

The plasma was thrown on his face, and Yue Yu woke up suddenly.

Only then did he notice.

There were four or five men in black, about the same number as his guards.

However.

Only the long knife in this man's hand was stained with blood.

His bodyguards were actually killed by him alone.

To know.

Even the lowest level Shaq wandering warrior has what the world calls the strength of a warrior.

Where are the guards! Why haven’t the guards come yet?

Yue Yu finally felt scared.

In fact, even if the guards arrive, if they are just ordinary Shaq guards, they may not be able to match the man in black.

It has to be a security officer.

Fortunately, judging from the size, the man in black who took action was the tallest and strongest, and seemed to be the leader of these people. The others should not be as strong as him.

But even so, it is not something that a small boss like Yue Yu can handle.

"My lords, do you want money?" He forced out a flattering expression, "I have plenty of coins, so feel free to take them."

"I was always joking before. I have to be tough at the beginning. We in Scone Town call this...yes! It's called 'Fighter's Glory'..."

"I just hope that all the adults can spare my life..."

Although these men in black had their faces covered, the horns on their heads could not be concealed. They were obviously Shaqs.

And judging from the fact that the other party calls them "flat-skinned people", they should be the more arrogant type among the Shaq people.

It's true that you're in the right mood.

"Little tender skin" is more insulting than "flat skin".

As a smooth businessman, Yue Yu doesn't mind devaluing himself.

"Open coins?" The leader in black said disdainfully.

"Do you have things in your store that are worth much more than cash?"

"Go and move!" He ordered in a low voice: "Hurry up, we don't have much time."

Several men in black regarded Yue Yu as nothing. They worked in pairs, took out their backpacks, and disassembled the armors on the wall and in the display cabinets.

Yue Yu's heart was bleeding.

These people do have a good eye.

The sets of armor they selected can be regarded as the "treasures of the store". Roughly speaking, they are even more valuable than the same weight of Kai coins.

However, it doesn't matter if the armor is lost, the masters can still fight again.

As long as you can save your own life, that's enough.

However, what the man in black said next made Yue Yu's heart freeze:

"Besides, as long as I kill you, whether it's money or armor, the rest will be ours—"

"Small, tender, skin?"

His tone was full of teasing.

"Wait a minute, you can't do this to me." Yue Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away and accidentally tripped over the corpse on the ground and fell to the ground.

He touched the bone scales of the Shaq warrior, feeling scared and annoyed.

As a human being, I had to endure all the looks and looks of shame along the way, and finally managed to gain a foothold in Scone Town, build a career, and make a lot of money, so that even those proud Shaq warriors had to shamelessly come to him to find a job. This job made the officials recognize the importance of the store and set up sentries to protect him.

The original frustration was swept away, and life became nourished.

If he hadn't really disliked women from the Shaq tribe, Yue Yu would have had to marry ten or eight.

Unexpectedly, in a real crisis, neither the Shaq soldiers nor the Shaq guards could be counted on.

In the end, he was killed by a group of Shark robbers.

"Come on! Kill me!"

He grabbed the body of the Shaq warrior, held it in front of him, and said angrily: "Aren't you Shaq people pursuing honor? It's a pity that just to kill me, a human being, you will kill more of your own kind!"

"You can kill weaklings like me and my own kind! Hahaha!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Yue Yu was also inspired by a trace of courage.

He just wanted to be able to stab the Shaq robber with words one last time.

The leader in black paused.

He took back the long knife, leaned on the ground, and remained silent.

It was as if he was moved by Yue Yu's words.

Then, he spoke:

"you're right--"

Is talk useful?

Yue Yu had another glimmer of hope in his heart.

He racked his brains, thinking of what to say next.

"You are indeed not worthy of me...just kill me."

The leader in black is his own subordinate who ordered.

"As for them...the Shaks driven by the flat-skinned people, are they worthy of being called my kin?"

He glanced at the body of the Shaq warrior lying on the ground and took a sip.

"That's called a traitor!"

After saying that, the leader in black smiled lowly, but it was full of hatred.

Damn it, I really stepped on a thunderbolt.

Yue Yu was despairing, and all the courage and hope he had managed to muster were completely consumed by this emotion.

"yes."

A man in black nodded, followed the order and stepped forward to kill Yue Yu.

The long knife was swung down.

There was a muffled sound.

But the man in black fell to the ground, suppressing Yue Yu.

A long feather arrow penetrated directly through the back of the man in black's head, and the trembling arrow shaft still showed the strong force when it was shot.

Everyone suddenly looked behind them.

"It's okay to steal things, but I don't allow you to kill the boss..."

At some point, another man in black appeared quietly next to the door.

"And one more thing--"

He hung the crossbow back on his waist and drew his heavy sword.

"Remember to lock the door next time."

This person’s tone of voice…

When the leader in black heard it, he always felt that he hated iron but could not turn into steel?
