Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

At this time, Xuan Yuan heard something not far away.

Two adventurers who were sitting next to the fountain and waiting for someone were whispering:

"Haha, no one's here yet. Did you lose the bet?"

“You’ve paid off the money, but you don’t even understand the most basic things?”

"You dare to shout at the guild door, aren't you in a hurry to give people money?"

"Sure enough, it wasn't stolen very far, right?"

The other person shook his head, took out a handful of silver coins and threw them to the other person.

"If you ask me, this guy is also stupid. He won't keep the guild mark after paying back the money."

"It's really unlucky to be unable to hold on for just a moment."

Speaking of which, the companions the two adventurers were waiting for have arrived.

They got up and left the Adventurer's Guild with their companions.

As for the extremely anxious bearded man and his companions, they were quickly taken into the Adventurer's Guild by the guards.

Xuan Yuan was a little surprised, but then he reacted.

There are all sorts of strange talents in this world.

Even if you have talents like resurrection and thirty times the speed of sound, how could you not have talents like stealing?

It would be difficult to track someone using his personal talent to steal, right?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but look at the guild mark on his leather armor and blue bow.

It suddenly dawned on me.

Mark the guild mark on the equipment being repaid.

It is also a disguised protection measure for adventurers who are weak or have no anti-theft measures.

While he was thinking, a burly figure wearing golden armor appeared.

He strode to Xuan Yuan.

"Yo! Xuan Yuan."

"Arrived so early?"

"I deliberately turned over half an hour early today, thinking that I would come over early and wait for you."

"Since you are already here, let's go directly!"

Having said that, Captain Thorfinn took the lead and walked forward.

Xuan Yuan quickly followed.

On the way, I briefly told Captain Thorfinn about the equipment theft I just witnessed.

Listen.

Captain Thorfinn laughed:

"Brother Xuanyuan, you are still too young."

"You were deceived. It was just a show, not real."

Xuan Yuan was stunned:

"Why?"

Captain Thorfinn explains:

"Now that you have passed the newbie training, I believe you already understand the cruelty of the dungeon."

"In order to successfully conquer the dungeon, no matter what talents you have, they must be allowed to contribute to humanity instead of causing internal chaos."

"Of course the talent for stealing exists."

"The strength of some stealing talents is even beyond your imagination."

"It can't be tracked or defended. Although it has the talent to restrain theft, it is not as many as the number of people with theft talent."

"Even if you have a talent for stealing, you cannot convict people or set some life restrictions because of this."

"After all, stealing talents are extremely important in dungeons, especially those difficult and terrifying dungeons. In many cases, they even determine the life or death of the team."

"Therefore, there are still some hidden guilds within the Adventurer's Guild."

"The Thieves Guild is one of them."

"The scene you just saw is a method used by the Thieves Guild to recruit new members and fish for fish."

"This method is the least difficult. What you recruit and catch are guys who don't like to use their brains or are impulsive and have strong self-control talents."

"The adventurer whose weapon was stolen deliberately shouted when he left the guild."

"His weapons have long been engraved with the guild's invisible seal."

"You think that person is an unlucky idiot who just had his equipment stolen after paying off his loan."

"Actually, he was a lucky guy who had already repaid his loan a long time ago and chose to cooperate with the Thieves Guild to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he successfully caught a big fish."

"Regardless of whether he catches the fish in the end, by completing the performance, he may have been forgiven his debt."

"Of course, this process is hidden from most people."

"In this way, we not only completed the recruitment of new members of the Thieves Guild and helped some adventurers who could not repay their loans, but also warned some newcomers who were not vigilant and told them with vivid examples in front of them that they should learn to find ways to protect their equipment from being stolen. Steal."

After hearing this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"So there is a Thieves Guild? They actually recruit new members in this way?"

"We have found a group of people who dare to commit crimes and will they obey the arrangements of the Thieves Guild?"

Captain Thorfinn smiled again:

"Don't underestimate the guild's methods."

"There is more than one way to recruit new members in the Thieves Guild. There are many different and hidden ways to recruit new members within the Thieves Guild."

"During this process, instructors will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the new thieves' character, ethics, behavior patterns, decision-making methods, etc."

"In fact, if you are really a hopeless thief, criminal, violent maniac, thug, or other evil person, you will not be able to pass the test of character."

"For this type of offender."

"Far from being worried, the Thieves Guild is very happy, because these criminals have always been a scarce commodity that is in short supply."

"For normal members of the Thieves Guild, the guild will spend a lot of time and energy cultivating them. It will take a long time to grow into an independent thief. It is easy to die midway in the process."

"In higher-difficulty dungeons, thieves are easily hated by dungeon monsters, and they often enter some extremely dangerous places alone. As a result, the death rate among thieves is quite high, and the thieves profession is extremely scarce."

"Some dungeons even need people with the talent for stealing all year round, and they constantly use their lives to fill it up like consumables."

"Moreover, when the progress of the strategy reaches the last level of the dungeon."

"People with superb theft talents are urgently needed to steal the information of the dungeon as soon as possible, find the core of the dungeon as quickly as possible, and destroy it."

"Therefore, once a criminal with vicious behavior and unable to change is found, if the other party has a strong talent for stealing."

"We will follow the normal process to expose his crimes and punish him for multiple crimes."

"After being sent to prison and sentenced to life imprisonment, he will be given some special care in prison. , and finally give the other party a chance to participate in a death selection. "

"Let this person take the initiative to find ways to participate in the selection and participate in a secret mission with a life-or-death situation."

"As long as you can complete the mission, you can get rid of your guilt and start a new life."

"Of course, the mortality rate of this kind of mission is generally very high. If you can survive, you will be eligible to become a formal member of the Thieves Guild."

"What I said are just some semi-public secrets."

"In short, the routines in the Thieves Guild are very deep, and they are all a group of smart people. You can't guess them."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but be amazed.

Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, you can't underestimate the intelligence of human beings.

Xuanyuan looked at Captain Thorfinn with some curiosity:

"Then why do you tell me all this?"

"Even if it's just a semi-public secret, I'm not qualified to know it now, right?"

Captain Thorfinn laughed:

"Don't belittle yourself, you're already qualified."

"We've arrived at the good place I told you about."

Xuanyuan looked up and found that this was a small shop on a back street, but the name of the shop made Xuanyuan feel very familiar:

[Little Fantou's Adventurer's House]

He suddenly remembered that the first time he came here to eat was called [Old Fantou's Adventurer's House]?

What a coincidence, the names are only one word different?

Could it be that the owners of the two restaurants are related?

Xuanyuan suppressed his doubts and followed Captain Thorfinn into the store.

This is an inconspicuous store.

The sign is not obvious, and the business is very poor. It's obviously time for dinner.

Other restaurants are doing a booming business, but this restaurant is the only one that is empty, without a single customer.

Just when Xuanyuan was wondering,

Captain Thorfinn said to the waiter who was coming towards them:

"Two servings of steak noodles."

Xuanyuan was about to say something, but Captain Thorfinn reached out to stop Xuanyuan and signaled him not to speak.

The waiter nodded in understanding and turned away.

After a while, the noodles hadn't been served yet.

The waiter came over with a small box of cake, saying that the chef saw that they were new faces who came for the first time, so he specially arranged a small gift from the waiter.

At this time, the chef in the kitchen stood at the window.

He smiled at Captain Thorfinn, gave a thumbs up, and shook it up and down three times.

Xuanyuan had seen this scene before.

The owner of the restaurant he had eaten at also made the same gesture to him at that time.

This is a common blessing among adventurers, representing "safe entry and exit, and return with a full load".

Just when Xuanyuan was confused.

But Captain Thorfinn gave the other party his right thumb, with the thumb facing down, and shook it three times in a row.

Xuanyuan was stunned.

This thumbs-down gesture

Whether on Earth or in this world, it represents disdain and provocation.

Xuanyuan remained silent rationally because he had already vaguely sensed something.

Seeing Captain Thorfinn's gesture.

The chef in the kitchen was not angry, but waved to the two of them politely:

"The signal has been passed, please follow me."
