Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 34 Small Surveillance System Jammers (Please collect! Please follow up!)

Landing on the ground, Dean glanced thoughtfully at a distant building.

When he was on the rooftop, he vaguely noticed that there was someone hiding in the building over there, and he thought that the person who came was not friendly, and might even be a sniper or something.

Therefore, when Dean slid down with the rope, he was defenseless on the surface. In fact, he was careful in every movement, so that the wall always blocked his vitals.

However, when he landed safely and was completely in the blind spot of the opponent's sniper, the imaginary attack did not come for a long time.

"Could it be that I was worrying too much, maybe the people over there just went to the top of the building to see the scenery?"

Dean stroked his chin and thought.

"Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover it with the earth. Being a monster thief is unavoidable to be hated by others. If you choose this profession, you will have to suffer this old crime."

Although it is estimated that most people should be listening to Vicki Weir revealing the inside story of the scam, but it is not guaranteed that the GCPD people will insist on arresting Kaitou Kidd and search the surrounding area. Dean feels that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time, so he quickly changed his appearance and fled.

Tossing and turning, going around and around along the way, after repeatedly changing the disguise three times, and playing as a street hero to overthrow several alley robbers, Dean finally rushed back to his home.

After returning to the room, Dean couldn't wait to call out the system.

He wants to see how the operation pays off.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the custom task - stealing 'Pink Dream' (pseudo)
Task Difficulty: Easy
Treasure value: average (it has no value in itself, but can be replaced by 5000 million U.S. dollars)

Gorgeous grade: C+
Comprehensive evaluation: C

Rewards obtained: 735 exclamation points (derived from Gotham high-class people, GCPD police, Jim Gordon, Robin...) + 600 exclamation points (gifted by completing the mission)"

According to the previous experience, the task report ended here, but the system's notification sound did not stop.

"Complete the hidden objective and provide key evidence for debunking the deception behind the 'Pink Dream', and an additional reward of 300 exclamation points."

"The account balance is 112 exclamation points, with a total of 1747 exclamation points."

Dean's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that there was such a setting as a hidden target, which was really a surprise.

When he was planning this operation, he actually didn't know that there was money laundering behind the 'Pink Dream'. At first, Dean only thought that the scam was simply fake diamonds.

In the week before the operation, Dean didn't think about investigating the fundamental purpose of Penguin's counterfeit diamonds. After all, Penguin's wealth and status have long surpassed the level of making money by auctioning fakes.

But Dean is a strange thief, not a detective, let alone a secret and reliable source of information, so his eyes are only on the counterfeit diamond itself.

But the turning point came quickly, when Dean had sent Dick a challenge to mislead him in the restaurant hours before, when Vicki Weir happened to show up, claiming to be there for Grey Tad.

At that time, Vicky went to Grey Tad because of the report about the transfer of illegal assets a few days ago, and she wanted to try to get some words from Grey Tad.

And Dean happened to be disguised as Grey Tad later, who is the seller of 'Pink Dream', which is a very good disguise.

In this way, Dean, who was disguised as Grey Tad, happened to bump into Vicky, and then learned from mutual insinuations that 5000 million illegal assets had been remitted to Grey Tad's company, and the time just happened to be the few days when the 'Pink Dream' was going to be auctioned.

Dean is not an idiot, and he wouldn't believe it if there was nothing wrong with it.

Thinking that the Penguins are unlikely to engage in low-end business like auctioning counterfeit diamonds, which would ruin their reputation once, and would be difficult to sustain for a long time, the suspicion that 'Pink Dream' is a tool for money laundering becomes more and more serious.

Later, Dean joined the penguin gang leader Luke in the identity of Grey Tad, and got more information from her.

Dean didn't expect that behind the scam of counterfeiting diamonds, there was an industry chain of black money laundering, and it was so apt to his notice letter!
Sometimes, things are just so coincidental.

Hermes Uncovers Scams can be as much a grand rogue as a diamond counterfeiter and as a courier for money laundering.

Both are correct interpretations.

Who told a god to have so many symbolic meanings...

Moreover, in the current era, diamond counterfeiting is not a rare thing at all. At most, the name of Penguin can add some heat, which is not at the same level as exposing a complete money laundering industry chain.

If Dean wants to earn more exclamation points, he has to let Kaitou Kidd have more topics.

So Dean adjusted his plan of action without much thought.

Dean was also very satisfied with the final effect.

"More than 700 exclamation points, there should be more things to choose from."

Open the system panel.

"Name: Dean Suston

Age: 16
Skills: Magic proficiency, vehicle proficiency, lockpicking proficiency, shooting proficiency, fighting proficiency, quick disguise, voice change without props
Items: Card Gun, Hookshot Gun, Triangle Glider, Bulletproof Cloak, High-Speed ​​Self-Filling Dummy, Homemade Smoke Bomb, Homemade Flashbang, Homemade Tear Gas, Homemade Hypnosis Gas

Talent: Resistant Skin (Low Level)"

Before, Dean only had an exclamation value of a little over a thousand. Dean gambled on a random talent card and got a resistant skin, which strengthened the ability of heat resistance, cold resistance, and poison resistance by [-]%.

Although it does not enhance the hardness and resilience of the skin, it can be regarded as strengthening the defense to some extent. In case one day encounters fireflies, freezing men or scarecrows, it should be somewhat useful.

With experience, Dean adjusted to the menu with a price below [-] as soon as he opened the exchange mall, and first checked whether there were skills or props that could save his life, such as counteracting a fatal attack or even resurrection armor.

The result is of course not, and you can't buy items of that level at this price.

The next best thing is to see if there is any one that can greatly improve the survivability, adding defense, shield and resistance will do.

This time there is.

"Cheats of Iron Cloth Shirt Covered with Golden Bell: Practice the magical skills horizontally, and you will be invulnerable after ten years of hard work."

Penance for ten years?Practice ass!

Dean nodded without hesitation.

The rest of the items that can improve survivability are not such kind of exercises and cheats that need to be cultivated by themselves, or various low-level random talent cards. It is not sure what passives can be generated.

"Forget it, let's look at other things first."

Dean temporarily gave up the idea of ​​strengthening his survivability, and waited until he had accumulated a wave of exclamation points.

He casually scrolled through the menu to see if he could find something cheap and practical.

Suddenly, Dean's eyes lit up, this thing is pretty good!

"Small monitoring system jammer: It can interfere with surveillance cameras within a radius of 15 meters, causing it to repeat the scene 1 minute ago. Special note: This jammer is limited to optical surveillance equipment made with common technology on Earth, and is ineffective for surveillance equipment using higher-level technology."

"Value: 750 exclamation points."
