In the security monitoring room of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Jason yawned and lazily got up from the chair. He made himself a cup of strong coffee.
He returned to the monitoring table with the cup and sat down again.
More than two hundred pounds of weight caused the poor seat to creak unbearably.
Jason scratched his head, grabbed a Tian Tian ring, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with the coffee.
He glanced at the monitoring screen and didn't find anything unusual, so he muttered a few words.
The fat man had been a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for more than ten years. Day after day of boring work, he had long lost his passion for work and his vigilance.
Since the establishment of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the security system had always been top-notch.
He didn't know how many generations it had been updated.
It had never been stolen!
Just last year, the museum had upgraded a new system, and it had been running well.
Jason didn't think that there was a thief in the world who could sneak in there quietly.
He burped and revealed a happy smile.
At the same time, Yue Heng appeared at the back door of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The back door of the museum was usually used by cleaners and maintenance staff. Of course, it was also equipped with corresponding security measures.
There were at least five high-definition surveillance cameras in the alley aimed at him.
Even a fly couldn't escape the attention of the surveillance staff.
However, on the corresponding monitoring screen, there was no sign of Yue Heng!
This was because the security system of the Metropolitan Museum of Art had been invaded by the biological sub-brain and had the highest authority.
Now, in the system, Yue Heng was invisible.
Click!
Yue Heng's hand didn't touch the thick metal door before the latter opened automatically.
Yue Heng pushed the door open and entered.
A surveillance camera was right above his head.
It was still "invisible."
In fact, the hundreds and thousands of surveillance cameras inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art had become Yue Heng's eyes and ears, providing him with early warning.
Yue Heng knew very well where he should go and when he needed to avoid the patrolling guards.
It was as if he had entered a place where no one could stop him!
It only took Yue Heng a few minutes to arrive at the Greco-Roman exhibition hall that he visited during the day.
He stood in front of the booth again.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two mechanical beetles were released by Yue Heng.
These two mechanical beetles were of the offensive type. They contained powerful electromagnetic energy and used collisions to release their attacks.
It was used to prevent accidents from happening.
Yue Heng had killed more than a hundred red-necked bandits and three Supers along the way.
But he had never been violent.
If he could solve the problem peacefully, Yue Heng would not resort to violent means.
He placed his hand on the bottom edge of the booth and unleashed his mechanical superpower.
The tightly shut electronic mechanism was instantly unlocked, and the alarm that should have been triggered went silent.
Yue Heng lifted the heavy bulletproof glass cover with one hand and put the Shield of Oath that was placed on the display table into his inventory.
Then, he replaced it with his own counterfeit.
The imitation he made was at least 90% similar to the real thing.
After the replacement, unless one was extremely familiar with the Shield of Oath, it would be impossible to tell the difference.
He put down the glass cover again and locked the mechanism.
Yue Heng's goal of coming to New York City this time had been achieved.
However, he did not leave the museum immediately. Instead, he 'strolled' inside.
There were too many tourists during the day, which more or less prevented Yue Heng from appreciating the art treasures here.
Apart from the Shield of Oath, Yue Heng found a total of eight mystical items in different exhibition halls!
Although he had the urge to pack them all up, when Yue Heng sensed the karma threads wrapped around these mystical items, he extinguished the thought.
How much karmic influence a Super could bear was completely dependent on their own strength.
Theoretically speaking, the stronger one was, the more mystical items they could have.
And vice versa.
Currently, Yue Heng had Xuanjie Hengdao, Yong Yi Dagger, and a Xuande Censor that did not belong to him.
He was already close to his limit when he obtained the Shield of Oath.
Although Yue Heng did not plan to keep the Shield of Oath, he was going to give it to Xu Jingchu.
However, when he replaced the Shield of Oath, karma was created.
Therefore, although these mystical items looked tempting, Yue Heng could rationally control his desire.
Greed was the original sin, and a wise man would not take it!
Perhaps it would not be too late to take it when he was strong enough.
In addition, there were many precious cultural relics that had been stolen and lost overseas in the China exhibition hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
When he saw the crystallization of China's ancient civilization's wisdom, Yue Heng also had the idea of bringing them home.
Ordinary cultural relics were different from mystical items. No matter how much he took, there would be no karma involved.
Moreover, the storage space was a divine artifact!
However, this thought flashed through Yue Heng's mind as quickly as it appeared.
This was because he knew that in the future, most of the stolen cultural relics would return to China.
When humans began to conquer the Milky Way, all the cultural relics on Earth were moved to a planet for safekeeping under the unified League of Stars.
This was the famous Museum of the Planet!
In his previous life, Yue Heng had visited the Museum of the Planet once.
It took him ten days to visit the main exhibition hall.
Therefore, it was meaningless for Yue Heng to take back these stolen cultural relics. Even if he took them back and handed them over to the country, they could not be publicly exhibited. Instead, it would interfere with the progress of history.
Let them stay here and wait for the day when they could rightfully return.
Yue Heng thought that this was the best way to deal with it.
He took back the mechanical beetles and only left one in the security system.
After Yue Heng left, this mechanical beetle would hibernate.
It would wait for it to be reawakened.
Avoiding the patrolling guards, Yue Heng went out from the back door and left the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Back in the hotel, he took out the Shield of Oath that he had just obtained and looked at it carefully under the table lamp.
This mystical item was dark gold. It was said that it contained seven metal elements, of which 75% was gold. The texture was very hard, and even diamonds could not scratch it.
Who made it and what it meant. These questions had caused a lot of trouble for scholars who studied it.
Yue Heng was not so bored that he had nothing better to do than to study these problems.
He just admired it for a while and then put it back in the storage space.
The next morning, Yue Heng flew from New York City to San Francisco and met his mother's family again.
At home in San Francisco, Ye Wan celebrated Yue Heng's 17th birthday in advance.
Yue Heng stayed for two more days and then flew back to China.
His trip to Mai ended!
