Chapter 1 Nie Yan's Plan

Nie Yan could perhaps avoid the Bloodthirsty Thief's line of sight and approach the box, but to take the contents of the box without the Bloodthirsty Thief noticing was a bit of a challenge.

It seemed like an impossible task.

Was he going to give up?

That wasn't Nie Yan's style!

Nie Yan pondered for a long time. He still had to bypass the Bloodthirsty Thief and enter the dungeon behind the throne. Should he deal with the box after returning from the dungeon?

The box was woven from bamboo strips. The items here were indeed crude.

Furnishings changed just like real-world objects. Something seemed to click in Nie Yan's mind.

The box was about twenty yards away from the Bloodthirsty Thief. If the lid of the box was moved, the Bloodthirsty Thief would definitely notice. But what if the lid wasn't moved? Was there another way to get the contents of the box?

Nie Yan's mind raced. At this moment, the Bloodthirsty Thief seemed to sense something suddenly and looked in Nie Yan's direction. Nie Yan quickly hid behind the pillar.

The Bloodthirsty Thief stared in Nie Yan's direction for a long time, then withdrew his gaze and continued patrolling.

Nie Yan was secretly shocked. The Bloodthirsty Thief's perception was truly amazing. He was about thirty yards away from the Bloodthirsty Thief, such a great distance, yet the Bloodthirsty Thief could still detect him. The box was about twenty yards away from the Bloodthirsty Thief. If he moved the box, the Bloodthirsty Thief would probably pounce on him immediately.

A thought suddenly flashed in Nie Yan's mind, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

He switched to the Gnome Ring and used the Transform Gnome skill on the ring. His body quickly shrank, and everything around him became super huge. The Bloodthirsty Thief in the distance looked like a giant.

Nie Yan was like a tiny speck, and in stealth mode. He started walking towards the box in the distance.

The bamboo-woven box was a behemoth to Nie Yan at this moment. His height was exactly the same as the height of the box.

After transforming into a gnome, Nie Yan's invisibility was far greater than usual, making it difficult to detect. Therefore, when he passed through the open space about twenty yards away from the Bloodthirsty Thief, the Bloodthirsty Thief was completely unaware.

Nie Yan gradually approached the box and walked to its side. The box was placed in the corner of the wall, but it was not flush with the wall, leaving some gaps in the middle, about one yard.

Nie Yan hid behind the box. After his body shrank, the box could completely hide his body.

Being small also had its advantages!

There were actually some interesting things about the Gnome Ring. The goblin mages of the Underearth Demonkin Tribe revered the Gnome Ring the most. Their size was already small, only about one-third of that of ordinary players. The Gnome Ring could suddenly shrink people by one-third. In this way, their size would only be about three or four inches. They scurried around on the ground and bombarded the melee units of the enemy with magic, because their size was too small, melee units often couldn't catch them. This was the most shameless and invincible tactic of the goblins.

What other wonderful uses this Gnome Ring had still needed to be carefully studied.

Many items in Faith were very magical. You had to have a rich imagination to fully display the wonderful uses of these items.

The Bloodthirsty Thief routinely looked at the box placed in the corner, then turned his gaze away.

Through this period of observation, Nie Yan discovered a pattern. The Bloodthirsty Thief would cast his gaze over every three minutes. There must be no movement during this time, otherwise he might be discovered.

Nie Yan pushed the box. The box was very heavy. It should be filled with a lot of things.

Nie Yan sat down in the corner, hiding behind the box. No one could see him.

He took out the Zennarde's Sword and slashed at the corner of the box.

Furnishings could be changed and destroyed!

The sharp Zennarde's Sword easily cut through the bamboo vines. Inside was a layer of wooden boards, but the wooden boards were still useless. The Zennarde's Sword was like a hot knife through butter, cutting a gap in the corner of the box, revealing the dark steel inside.

There was another layer. This box was so solid!

Nie Yan opened his mouth. He was deceived by the appearance of the box!

He wondered if this steel could be cut open. Nie Yan thought for a while. After all, the Zennarde's Sword in his hand was a god-tier weapon, the best equipment!

Nie Yan slashed the box with the Zennarde's Sword. Only a shallow mark was left on it, about half a centimeter in size.

Although it was only a little bit, it strengthened Nie Yan's confidence. He could break the box open!

Nie Yan really found a bit of a thief's feeling, stealing items in a thief-like way for the first time.

Three minutes. Nie Yan calculated the time, paused, and made no movement, holding his breath.

The Bloodthirsty Thief over there looked in Nie Yan's direction. From his side, the box was intact. He couldn't see the damaged part of the box, and he couldn't see Nie Yan hiding behind the box at all.

His gaze stayed on the box for a while, then turned to other places again.

After the Bloodthirsty Thief's gaze turned away, Nie Yan started working again. He cut open all the bamboo and wood on the outside of the box, piled the wood chips and other things aside, and the dark iron box body was revealed. He began to cut the black iron with the Zennarde's Sword.

The metal was relatively hard, so it was a bit troublesome for Nie Yan to cut, but iron filings were still constantly being cut off by the Zennarde's Sword.

Nie Yan would pause every 3 minutes. After six minutes, a hole was finally broken in the box. A gold coin rolled out. At the moment it fell to the ground and collided with the ground with a clanging sound, Nie Yan grabbed the gold coin in his hand.

But the sound still traveled far away.

The Bloodthirsty Thief was patrolling other places when he suddenly heard some noises. He vigilantly looked in this direction and walked towards the box.

Nie Yan hid behind the box. His heart was already extremely tense. If he was discovered by the Bloodthirsty Thief, he might lose the opportunity to open the box. The only way was to escape with a random teleport scroll!

He would never leave unless absolutely necessary!

He tried to shrink his body into a ball and stick to the back of the box.

The Bloodthirsty Thief slowly approached, about five or six yards away from Nie Yan. He carefully checked the area near the box.

Nie Yan seemed to feel the Bloodthirsty Thief's sharp gaze sweep across the wall behind him. He forced himself to calm down and held his breath.

The Bloodthirsty Thief stood for a long time. The box completely blocked Nie Yan. In the Bloodthirsty Thief's low-level intelligence, he might also think that no one could be hidden behind the box.

The Bloodthirsty Thief didn't find anything and turned away, returning to normal.

Feeling the Bloodthirsty Thief's footsteps getting farther and farther away, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart landed. He continued to cut the box with his sword, and pieces of iron filings were cut off. As the hole continued to expand, he moved the gold coins out one by one and put them in his backpack.

One gold coin, two gold coins...

Gold coins kept pouring out, more and more, constantly flowing into Nie Yan's backpack.

Before long, he finally opened a hole two inches square. He could reach in with one hand. He began to take things out of the box. At first, they were all gold coins, handful after handful, dazzling to the eye.

Nie Yan took out more than three thousand gold coins from this small hole. He scooped again, and a spherical object appeared in his hand, with edges and corners, like a gemstone.

He held the thing, pulled his hand out, and looked at it. A golden gem appeared in his hand.

It radiated golden light throughout, and had a peculiar sense of transparency.

It was a Radiance Gem!

Nie Yan's hand trembled. If it was an ordinary gem, it would definitely not surprise him so much! He could be considered to have seen the world, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins had passed through his hands, but getting a Radiance Gem still made him quite excited.

This thing was quite common at levels 70 or 80. You could buy one for a few thousand gold coins, but now, Radiance Gems had not appeared on the market yet. Even if you gave Nie Yan 20,000 gold, he wouldn't sell it!

He wondered if there were any more!

Nie Yan continued to rummage inside, emptying a corner of the box completely.

He then enlarged the hole in the box a lot, just enough for him to get in. He unceremoniously moved everything into his backpack, a total of seven thousand gold coins, five Radiance Gems, and a necklace.

Looking at the attributes of the necklace, Nie Yan's heart suddenly jumped. It was another special item.

Transformation Necklace (Dark Gold): Special Item.

Attribute Description: Set an animal form, you can transform into that animal, some attributes get extra bonuses, duration 5 minutes, transformed form cannot attack enemies, skill is interrupted after being attacked, skill cooldown time is 1 natural day.

For example, a cheetah can gain agility, a giant bear can gain a large amount of strength, a seagull can fly at low altitude, etc.

Nie Yan thought for a while and set the transformed animal to a bobcat to gain ability bonuses and jumping.

The reason why the animal was set as a bobcat was because the bobcat was small, agile, jumped, and was good at avoiding danger. Jumping ability was increased by 300%. Calculating the size difference, it was equivalent to a jump with a maximum jump distance of nine yards and a maximum jump height of five yards.

Such items were very useful, but few people could use them to their full potential.

Nie Yan remembered that Tang Yao also had similar items, but the transformation state Tang Yao set was to become a seagull. Different transformed states naturally resulted in different functionalities.

After setting it, Nie Yan looked at the attributes of the necklace again.

Transformation Necklace (Dark Gold): Special Item.
