No matter how good the item was, he had to have the ability to take it. Although people outside called Zhou Wen the King of Thieves, Zhou Wen wasn't a person without a bottom line. He definitely wouldn't do something he wasn't confident in.
After rejecting Liu Yun's invitation, Zhou Wen decided to study it. Regardless of how many stars he obtained in the end, he had to clear the Venus dungeon first.
To be honest, Zhou Wen was really envious of the Goddess of Luck necklace. There were just too few Companion Beasts that added Luck.
If one's Luck was high, not only would there be a higher chance of a Companion Egg dropping when grinding dungeons, but Heavenly Robe's dodging effects might also become stronger.
If I don't want to fight a Calamity-grade bullet and just want to clear the dungeon, is there a better way? Zhou Wen frowned in thought.
In fact, there was a way, but Zhou Wen wasn't sure if it would work in reality.
Previously, Zhou Wen had always wanted to kill the Calamity who shot the bullet, so he had studied a way to resist the seventh bullet. However, if he only thought of the Golden Palace, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Death No. 10 could withstand six shots. The seventh shot would find a Terror-grade Companion Beast to be a scapegoat. Following that, he would have six more shots.
This amount of time should be enough to reach the Golden Palace.
Of course, the premise was that the Calamity-grade bullet prioritized hitting the highest-leveled creature like in-game.
In that case, I still have to sacrifice a Terror-grade Companion Beast to reach the Golden Palace. After some thought, Zhou Wen temporarily had this solution. Furthermore, he needed to give it a try.
In the game, there was no such thing as a reward for reaching the Golden Palace. The Golden Palace's door didn't open either. It seemed like he had to kill the Calamity-grade creature.
However, Zhou Wen felt that it wasn't a problem to clear the dungeon in reality. After watching the Holy Spirit Guild's dungeon clearance, he was basically certain that the Calamity-grade bullet would prioritize hitting the strongest intruder. However, he couldn't rule out special circumstances.
Liu Yun sent a few more messages to persuade Zhou Wen.
"I can take on this job, but I have two conditions." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and replied.
"Speak." Liu Yun was delighted. Although Lord Fourth Baron was mainly inviting the King of Thieves, if he succeeded, he, as Holy Thief, could also obtain considerable benefits.
"I want the Goddess of Luck's necklace. In addition, prepare a Terror-grade Companion Beast for me. I need to get the items first before doing anything. Furthermore, I'm only in charge of issuing orders. If I don't follow the orders, I won't bear any responsibility for the results, nor can I guarantee absolute safety," Zhou Wen said.
"This … The usual rule is to take half first and then take the other half after the matter is done," Liu Yun said.
"This is my rule. If he wants to do something for me, he has to follow my rules. Otherwise, let him find someone else." Although Zhou Wen wanted the Goddess of Luck necklace very much, he wouldn't give in because of that.
Moreover, this kind of thing could not be accommodated. Since he was going to bring people in, he still hoped to bring them out alive.
"Alright, I'll talk to Lord Fourth Duke and see what he has to say." After Liu Yun sent this message, he didn't send another message for a long time.
Zhou Wen wasn't in a rush. After all, he needed to make some preparations. Safety came first. If Lord Fourth Duke really wanted to go, he definitely needed to prepare a few Substitute Talismans. His life was of utmost importance.
"How can I find a way to pass through the six paths behind Yellow Spring City? Let's see if I can get some Heavenly Robes. If I wear the Heavenly Robes under my armor, it might really save my life at critical moments. "Zhou Wen had always wanted to go to Yellow Spring City, but he couldn't stand the final thousand-year dream.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to take out a pen and paper to see if he could draw some Substitute Talismans, he heard his phone ring again before he could even move his pen.
"Lord Fourth Duke has agreed to your conditions. He hopes to meet you for a detailed discussion. The time and location will be up to you. Lord Fourth Duke will come alone." Liu Yun's message came over.
"That fast?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"With my understanding of Lord Fourth Duke, this matter shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, you have to be wary of others. It's best you choose a place that can guarantee your safety." Liu Yun understood Zhou Wen's concerns and sent a message.
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and sent a message. "I don't have time recently. I'll contact you when I have time."
He had promised An Sheng to take good care of this family. Before An Sheng and company returned, he couldn't leave casually. It wouldn't be too late to wait for them to return.
"Then when will you have time? Lord Fourth Duke is very anxious," Liu Yun said.
Zhou Wen didn't reply. Liu Yun was somewhat depressed, but it wasn't appropriate for him to tell Lord Fourth Duke. All he could do was send him a message saying that Thief King had something important to do recently. He would contact him after he was done.
Lord Fourth Duke was very straightforward. He said that he would wait whenever Thief King was free. He had prepared the Goddess of Luck necklace and Terror-grade Companion Beasts. Thief King could use them whenever he wanted.
Liu Yun sent Lord Fourth Duke's message to Zhou Wen, but he still didn't receive a reply.
Zhou Wen grinded dungeons every day and studied the use of Absolute Space while waiting for An Sheng to return.
An Sheng didn't return, but someone challenged the Venus dimensional zone. This time, it was the League of Defender. However, there was no immortal among the people who came.
Cave Era, Uesugi Nao, and Jiuyue were the only three people who appeared in the Venus dimensional zone.
Everyone was puzzled as to why Immortal didn't come. He was the core of the League of Defender. He didn't come for such a huge matter as attacking the Venus dimensional zone. It seemed a little too rash.
However, the subsequent performance of the three people made people realize that there was more than one path in the world and more than one way to resolve problems.
After Cave Era and Jiuyue augmented Uesugi Nao with the powers of time and space, Uesugi Nao's Great Skyfiend Guardian unleashed unparalleled speed.
After the sixth Golden Battle God was killed, Uesugi Nao, or rather, Great Skyfiend, rushed into the passageway like a phantom.
After the Calamity-grade gunshot sounded, Great Skyfiend wasn't hit. It was as though she had dodged. Because the speed was too fast, not many people could clearly see how they dodged.
What followed was Uesugi Nao's performance. Uesugi Nao, who was like a true Skyfiend, dodged the bullets again and again like a phantom. She rushed to the Golden Palace before the seventh bullet was fired and obtained the Golden Ball in the Golden Palace. At the same time, she entered the rankings.
Everything happened too quickly. Before anyone could react, Great Skyfiend's name had already appeared on the rankings. There were two stars behind her name.
"How did she do it?" Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at the third name on the rankings in disbelief.
